Hurricane Nicole!!!- lol

the rest was the normal poorly acted cat fight, which never goes over well.  If they’re not going to do them (cat-fights) right, I wish they would just do away with them altogether.  Even the men’s fight scenes, like when they’re throwing a punch or getting into pushing/shoving match, are really poorly done.  It just makes the actors look irritatingly comical.  Maybe when we see the whole scene it will come off better.  I’m just glad Sami got a good one in.  Nicole deserved that.  If somebody stole my baby, got caught, went to jail, was illegally pardoned after a short time by a blackmailed governor, and was then stupid enough to show her face back in town, well…….I’ll just leave it there for now!  All I know is Nicole is back two weeks and she’s already on my nerves.  She’s right back to her old self, cunning, conniving, manipulative, all-about-what-Nicole-wants.  Why can’t she just go back after E.J.  Arianna has the skinny on her, though, and I don’t think she’ll be a pushover for either Nicole or Brady.  Oh, and by the way, Nicole, when you said to your mom, "I guess I should have married a wife-beating rapist like you did," it has to be said…..YOU ALREADY DID.  Well, he’s not the wife-beater…..yet…..but then, he hasn’t found you…..yet.

Ali’s words, or if it is someone impersonating or I should say posing as Ali; either way, it just doesn’t sound like something she would say to her fans.  I’ve read the gossip, the rumors, the out-of-control fans who directly write to, email, twitter, etc., the actors on behalf of their disappointment in a particular actor because of their dedication to their fanbase, and honestly, in most cases I don’t believe the actors really care all that much; they know they are doing a job, being paid very damn well for it, and they must do and say what they are told to do and say, or hit the road; so, I guess I’m a little skeptical of an actor/actress with the huge career, in this case, Alison Sweeney, to take a stand on message board posts.  I would also have to ask, how does she find the time to even read them let alone comment on them?  LOL.  As usual, JMHO.

what’s with the hideous, and I say this in jest, "wedding gowns???"  First Melanie, now Ariana?  Can you imagine how beautiful both of them would have looked in the traditional wedding gown (and yes, Mel may be a pain, but she is very pretty—she just ‘makes’ herself look ugly sometimes.)?  If this is today’s fashion trend for (ahem) formal wedding attire, I can’t wait til’ it’s over.  What a mess.

knew how to write; the newer ones do not and don’t care who likes it.  They change or invent history at the drop of a pen.  Any avid soap fan knows that a good soap opera should be character driven; not plot driven.  They continually have Victor and Stefano profess to care so deeply for their families, but you’d never know it by the crappy scenes and dialog these writers give to them on a daily basis.  They should be involved in so many story lines right now, but, alas, some dumb bunnies flunked their writing 101 class.

Tim is going to continue to have the young votes, like the Disney-themed, High School Musical kids who will adore him.  He doesn’t have much stage presence and I don’t expect him to last until the end, but as long as there are predominantly young voters, and I’m talking teens and tweens, this kind of kid will stay alive and others who are far better will be voted off.  I sort of liked Lee last night (first performer).  I like what he did with what I would never consider to be up there with most #1 songs (The Letter), but I liked the arrangement and what he did to change it up.  I was, on the other hand, disappointed with Michael Lynch last night, who appears to me to be getting a little over-confident.  Crystal has a very unique voice, but she has no stage presence whatsoever, IMO; however, I do expect her to make it to the finals.  Right now, I’m just lovin’ Aaron and hope he continues to grow into his talent more and more each week.

I said "Kate and E.J……EEEEEEEEEEEEE JAAAAAAAAAAAA…….. not Kate and Rafe.  If that should ever happen, and I vow it never will, the network would have to come up with a new rating, such as ‘Rated BP’….. as in Barf/Puke.

so it more than likely will not be him.  He’s certainly not going to reveal anything to Rafe knowing full well that he would be signing his own political death certificate.  No, it will probably be someone who will find out that Nicole has been pardoned and then put two and two together and realize that something’s fishy.  My guess is Victor.  He was shocked to see that Anna and the governor knew each other; he can’t stand Anna; and now, once he realizes that the governor has pardoned Nicole, I can almost see the wheels spinning in Victor’s head.  I think he would take Anna down as fast if not faster than anyone, or at least lay the ground work for some degree of suspicion that will warrant an all-out investigation on Rafe’s part.  Of course, Stefano is always a means to a nasty end for whoever is responsible for Nicole’s pardon as well, but I think Vic will put the pieces together and realize that the governor is the wolf in sheep’s clothing, or maybe the fox in Anna’s hen house, and Nicole’s pardon will confirm it for him.  My question still remains, will she throw E.J. under the bus, or will he drive the bus over her first?
