according to the gospel of spoilers

" Nick and Katie are both in a state of shock when she does the unexpected and kisses him." SKANK! Katie works overtime luring a vulnerable Bridget (her own NIECE!) back to Nick's arms, manipulating them both so she can keep her sister away from Nick, and then she goes behind Bridget's back and swaps spit with Nick herself. Pathetic. I thought surely they were going to turn Heather Tom's character into a lesbian. This show needs to join the 21st century.

"
Brooke and Taylor go head to head over both Jack and Rick!" I love the fact that Taylor is sticking it to Brooke by sexing it up with Brooke's son. I hate the fact that he's much younger than she is in real life, but it's about damn time Taylor one ups this annoying PITA. If I had a dollar for every time she went out of her way to assure Taylor she was really Jack's mother and that Brooke was staying out of the situation, then butted INTO the situation, I'd be living in L.A. myself.

"
Storm dates Ashley, but not without interference from her ex!" Well, of course, Ridge wants her because now she's with someone else. That's the sole plot device driving every couple on this entire show. Thankfully, it's only 30 minutes long.

B&B SoapDuds Awards

"Actress Who Couldn't Cry If Her Life Depended On It" award goes to Bridget. Doesn't matter what happens to that girl: miscarriage, divorce, can't find a good parking space, she can't bring herself to well up the waterworks. Oh, she makes a good show of it by squinting and wiping her eyes, but it just doesn't cut it.

"Actress Most in Need of A MakeOver" award goes to Katherine Kelly Lang. She is TOO OLD for that stringy bright blonde hair. She sported that look in her 20's. She needs a new short do and a more age appropriate color.

"Actor Who Couldn't Act His Way Out Of A Box Of Maxi-Pads (with wings!)" award will always go to Ronn Moss for as long as he's on the show. I don't know how this man has managed to stay on tv so long. He must have inappropriate pictures of some muckity muck.

"Act Your Own Age" award goes to Eric Forrester. UGH. Enough with screwing chicks young enough to be your granddaughters! Not only should you be ashamed, you should be off reading your AARP magazine instead. When you're in bed with a young, voluptuous woman and the only thing that gets you hard is Viagra, you seriously need to GIVE IT UP.

"Actor Most In Need of a MakeOver" award goes to John McCook. CUT THOSE DAMN CATERPILLAR EYEBROWS!! The hairs are moving in all different directions.

"Actress Whose 'Poor Pitiful Me' Routine Is Beyond Annoying" award goes to Donna Logan. Strong, independent Donna Logan goes after what she wants: another woman's husband, a job in high fashion, her sister's man, but is reduced to a whiney babbler when she gets stuck in the tanning booth. When she "cried" she might as well have just said, "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" cuz that's what it sounded like.

welcome to my nightmare

There’s WAY TOO MUCH bed hopping going on at The Bold and The Beautiful. There always has been, but lately it’s downright disgraceful that the writers can’t come up with a plot line that doesn’t involve someone declaring their love one minute, then changing their minds five minutes later and declaring their undying love for someone else. Can you say wishy washy?

Brooke is the worst. Let’s just go back to last year when she was in love with Ridge. Taylor came home and Ridge couldn’t make up his mind who he wanted to be with. (For such successful business people, it’s amazing they can’t make a decision and stick to it for longer than it takes my bread to toast.) So she gravitated to Nick, and found comfort in his arms, after taking him from her own daughter. Then Ridge thought maybe he wanted to be with her, so she dumped Nick and went back to Ridge. Now Nick has had a baby with Taylor and suddenly Brooke decides maybe she wants Nick again. Nick no sooner gets finished assuring his emotionally unstable wife Taylor that he loves her forever, when he’s sniffing Brooke’s butthole again. Can you see why this is so aggravating? The writers aren’t taking the time to develop any storylines. They’re just jumping from one couple to another.

I think the biggest problem with B&B is that there are not enough families on the show. Having mainly the Forrester’s and the Logan’s causes the program to be almost incestuous at times.

And apparently there are no minority people living in Los Angeles. Everyone is extremely wealthy and white. TPTB seem almost afraid to add other characters to the show. If they need anyone, they tend to “borrow” a character from The Young and The Restless.

As with most soaps, they have one doctor, one lawyer, one Indian chief. (Except for the Indian chief because he would fall into the minority category, and we’ve already noted there are no minorities living in L.A.)

Although the writers seemed to have backed off of Stephanie’s character as of late, nothing is more gross than listening to her wax poetic about her son Ridge, who must have been her lover in a former lifetime. Or, from the looks of it, earlier in this lifetime.

Eric having sex with much younger Donna? ICK. Rick having sex with much older Taylor? UGH. A young Phoebe going after an older Rick? Gross since he’s going after her MOTHER. Again, can’t TPTB find actors/actresses within the same age range?

I think the writer’s need to stop trying to distract the viewers from real story lines by changing couples every week. I think they need to bring on more characters that are NOT related to the Logan’s or the Forrester’s and I think they need to bring on some minority characters

WELCOME!
