random person, if I recall correctly, please correct me if I'm not,
it's been several days now at least since "Bianca's hospital room" was mentioned as a set, so hopefully she's finally out? I guess Babe's still in her coma. Kinda odd, since of the two, Bianca was initially the one in bad shape and had to go through surgery. Bad reaction to all the drugs Paul shot Babe up with, maybe.I think unleashing Kendall on him would satisfy my bloodlust.
Mine too. I mean, the men yelling at Paul was fine and everything, but it's Kendall who should get the ultimate honor. Man, I was sorry she was too in shock today to be screaming at him like the others were. Apart from Reggie, the Kane-Montgomery side did not hold up their own against the Chandlers/Martins in beating Paul down. Jack's such a loser, really. No wonder Paul decided it'd be better to say the baby was Babe's.
kariyaki,
OLTL is actually going to try a Paul/Natalie hookup, so I'd really be happy if David slipped him an impotence cocktail.
ETA:
Erica all of a sudden cares about the baby (for three seconds anyway)? Shut up, you tool: you're twenty years too late!
I'm not inclined to give Erica the benefit of the doubt, here--she certainly hasn't earned it. Every single time she's asked about Mimo's welfare to date, it's always been along the lines of "is there a medical problem?" and then being disappointed to hear that Mimo's fine. I figured this was more of the same. There certainly were no "please let the baby be okay!"s from her today.

Nope, you're right, though she did seem off kilter when she figured out the baby was not with Bianca. I'm not saying she's down with MiMo now, but it seemed to be a different reaction from the usual. Of course this, too, will not last - and that's good because I'm not done yelling at her and dreaming of ways to hurt her.

In honor of all of you. Kinks is Love.
I haven't watch today's show yet, so I'm assuming once Kendall snaps out it she will indeed kill Paul.
Perhaps we should do our own cross-over with the OLTL fans on this forum to do a joint snark attack on both these shows. Misery loves company.
This whole babyswitch storyline only proves to me once and for all that the heads of ABC daytime have no fucking clue. Dead babies do not equal entertainment.

Dead babies do not equal entertainment.

I agree, she was off-kilter, but I just took that to be a confused reaction because so far as she knew, Mimo was fine, and I think she'd been bracing herself for her first look at Kendall II. All her rape baby whining earlier in the episode made it pretty clear that she still feels the same about Mimo as ever.
Because it can't be said enough: Shut the fuck up, Erica!
I also thought it was extremely characteristic of Erica to hold up Bianca going to surgery so she could try to cleanse her conscience. Because it's not like Bianca hasn't been losing blood for at least half a day now or anything. I did enjoy the laser glares Kendall was shooting Erica at a couple of points. Alicia rocks.

Spoilers for next week...
Bianca recalled giving birth to Miranda and was devastated when Kendall (acting on info from Paul) told her that her child did not survive.
David told a stoic Erica that she got what she wished for.
Meanwhile, Paul gave Babe's child to his sister, Kelly, telling her that the birth mother didn't want him.
Babe (to whom Paul gave Miranda, and lied that it was her baby) took a turn for the worse.
Later, Bianca heard Bess (Babe's name for the infant) crying and thought she heard her "dead" daughter.
Jack set out to find Erica.
WAIT TO SEE: Bianca decides to go to the scene of the accident where her baby "died".
Four words: Black Cloud of Doom. Four more: Salt into the Wound.

You go, David! Tell it to Erica like it is!
I so knew AMC would have Kendall be the one to break the news to her GF. Sniff. And since Bianca doesn't know anything about the helicopter "crash", she's got absolutely no advance warning. She lost consciousness knowing Miranda was just fine.
I also wonder, with Babe out of commission, whether Bianca will start spending time with "Bess." The hospital nursery set has been up an awful lot. It'd be nice, except, knowing how things usually go for Bianca, she'd start realizing that Bess is her daughter, and when she expresses this belief, everyone else decides she's completely lost it and commits her to Oak Haven...

JR mentioned that, Grinaldi. It's one of the two reasons why he wanted to name the baby Bess, if he and Babe had a daughter (the other being that it was his grandmother's name).
superdiva80, heh. Passions is the one soap I've never watched at all, but it does sound like a JERk plot for sure. Hey, I just realized what could get me reconciled to that...Kendall breaking Bianca out of Oak Haven and Kinks going on the run!

Isn't someone going to give MiMo a DNA test now that she's in the hospital? Surely, after Paul's conflicting stories about which baby she is, someone will get smart and want to make sure it's actually Babe's baby. I have this sneaking suspicion, though, if they do decide to do a DNA test they'll want to do it while the two mothers are still out of it, so they'll try to get permission from the grandmothers. Of course, Erica and Krystal both have their reasons not to want that to happen, so they'll have to concoct some scheme and ... unh. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
Maybe we'll get a DNA test for May sweeps. I'm holding out hope that Erica and Krystal will only be able to stall MiMo's test until then.
Black Knight
Mar 24, 2004 @ 7:42 pm
Paul didn't give the families conflicting stories about whose baby Mimo is, so they have no reason to suspect. I mean, people are suspicious, but I think about the wrong things--they probably think he tried to kill Babe or something. Now he did tell Babe that her son was dead, but with Babe being out of commission, I doubt she'll be able to communicate that fact to anyone. And by the time she becomes lucid, she'll have blocked it all out.

Paul has no clue who he is messing with. He thinks Adam is scary? Obviously he hasn't been introduced to Kendall who walks around town with a knife strapped to her thigh. I can't wait for her to tear him a new one. When she finds out what Paul did to her girlfister he'll be wishing he was dead.
I liked Anita and Bobby today. I like them a heck a lot better than Maria and Edmund.
Why did I feel like JR was trying to cop a feel when he grabbed Paul?
Eric just needs to STFU already. I hate the way the whole town coddles the woman. It's her damn fault that Bianca is in this predicament. Erica needs to get overself. If she tells one more person about her own traumas I'm gonna scream. The two situations are totally different and Erica needs to go to therapy.

Hell, I didn't watch OLTL for over a year after Todd let Blair believe their baby was dead, and that was
Blair for God's sake. Now they're doing it to Bianca? Mimo better be back in Mommy's arms by May sweeps or I might snap.

I started crying not once, not twice, but three times today!!! All prompted by Kendall, of course. GAH! You just don't mess with babies!! And that bastard Paul is going to be shipped with someone that breaks up my favorite ship on OLTL??!? While Kinks have their hearts tap danced over by the writers?!?! Bastard people!!
Yes. Bastard is the word of the day. Why do you ask?
You know, I would pay to watch Reggie, Jamie, and JR beat the living crap out of Paul. And not even for the HoYay aspects, because eww.
But for real. When Reggie was all up in Paul's face? Oh, yeah! That's my boy!
Was it just me or did Ryan look all how dare she not let me comfort her when Kendall was all get off of me?
Banita. I lurve them. It isn't their fault they are interrupting the Story! Of! The! Year!

KerleyQ
Mar 24, 2004 @ 9:15 pm
Thank God that was a false alarm on the Medmund porn! I was eating dinner when that came on!
I'm glad, at least, that no one is buying Paul's story as being all true. What I can't help wondering is how long it would really take before there's a story in the paper about Kelly's "birth at the farm" and people start doing the math. Adam, at the very least, should be able to make the connection between Kelly and Paul pretty easily since he knows Dorian, right? Shouldn't it raise red flags in people's minds that at the same time that Bianca and Babe were giving birth and one baby was "lost" Kelly was also giving birth on her own at some farm? This story might become worth it if we got Adam, Asa, and Dorian doing battle over that baby.
But, they'd better not keep Mimo and Kinks apart too long. How much does Bianca have to endure? I kind of like Erica's hopeful expression when she looked towards the door, expecting Mimo to be carted in. I've just hated what this SL has done to the character of Erica. I know she's typically self centered as all hell, but this has been like a caricature of her lately. I'd like to think that, at the very least, Bianca's endangerment and the baby's actually being born, may have struck something in her. Of course, I know I'm wrong, but let me enjoy that hopeful expression of hers for the night while I wait for Kendall to lay into her sometime in the near future.
I miss Boyd--I'd be so down with Tad, Boyd, and Aidan teaming up to figure out the truth about Paul. No shirts necessary.

I'm unable to watch AMC
at all this week. On the one hand, I'm missing Kendall bitch-slapping Erica, great Reggie scenes, and Kinkstastic love (bad). On the other hand, I'm missing the heart-wrenching trauma TIIC are so cruelly inflicting on Kinks, and Medmund porn scares (good).
Way upthread,
KerleyQ said:
Kendall and David should realize that they’re hotter than any other two people in this show, and just stand around together being hot.
Heh. I had my first AMC dream the other night. Kendall and David were going to visit Bianca and Mimo (yes, together - no baby switching allowed in my dream!) in the hospital - a big hospital somewhere, not PVH. For some reason, they didn't want anyone to know they were visiting, so Kendall was making up assumed names for them. Anyway, they had to cool their heels for a bit before they could sneak into Bianca's room, and David started fantasizing about making out with Kendall. And, lordy, they were on fire! Really made me wish that affair Kendall proposed happened. The only bad in the dream was that Kendall was wearing florals and a weird pink net thing over her hair...

Was it just me or did Ryan look all how dare she not let me comfort her when Kendall was all get off of me?
Yeah, he did kinda. I was so pleased that she pushed him off. Yay, Kendall! She really could not stand to be touched or interact with anyone after she heard what Paul said--she couldn't even go near Bianca again. Poor Kendall. On my rewatch, I noticed just how much Cam Math's acting sucked today. Not that he doesn't always suck, of course, but the first time, I was too busy looking at everyone else's reaction shots to really pay attention to the fact that every single one of his reaction shots featured him doing that "wide eyes mouth hanging open" thing. He really is pathetic. Even JY, Justin, and Liz managed decent reaction shots today. I have to say--putting aside my "nooooo!" reaction--that the key scene in which Paul lies that Miranda is Babe's baby really is very well-done. David Tom's a horrible actor, but pulling that special effect with the tape really helped sell his part of it, and then the various reaction shots were wonderful for the most part. And of, course, Alicia crying no over and over without chewing up the scenery. Susan, take notes.
I also liked the shot in the next scene at the crash site that showed Kendall in shock in the foreground with the unconscious Bianca in the background, as their baby's being stolen from them. JR looking at Kendall just before both of the times that he picked up the incubator was a nice touch, too, as was Kendall's look of intense loss and longing as JR left the scene with Miranda. I could just see her thoughts of "I thought that was Miranda. Why couldn't that be Miranda?" written all over her face.
I realize that I fast forward a lot on AMC unless Kinks is prominently featured but did they ever explain where Juan Pablo is? I completely forgot about him after the NYE debacle. Where did he go? Did he get a goodbye scene?
He hasn't been seen since early February. There's a report on Soapcentral that he'll exit by the end of spring, but IIRC it didn't clarify whether he would get a goodbye scene or just fade away altogether. Just as well. He was better than Carlos, but he never really caught on and we've got Christian Campbell now.
What I can't help wondering is how long it would really take before there's a story in the paper about Kelly's "birth at the farm" and people start doing the math. Adam, at the very least, should be able to make the connection between Kelly and Paul pretty easily since he knows Dorian, right?
It seems more likely that someone from the OLTL side would read a newspaper article about how two prominent, wealthy young mothers and their babies were in a helicopter crash, and that the baby who is a billionnaire heiress disappeared and is presumed dead. Dorian's already asking a lot of the right questions about Kelly's story, knows Adam, and works for the Llanview hospital, so she'd hear about Paul being the chopper pilot. That said, she's already very adoring of this baby, she loves Kelly to death, and morals don't bother her unless someone hurt her and hers. I think she'll figure it out but ultimately keep the information to herself.
But on the AMC side, the characters are a lot more likely to view it in terms of "Which baby died in the copter crash?" not "Did any baby die at all?" Tad is really suspicious of Paul, but since he knows about Paul and Babe's marriage, I think he's more likely to be thinking along the lines that Paul deliberately tried to kill Babe in order to keep the marriage from being revealed, than along the lines of a baby switch. I think the truth about Mimo will come out long before the truth about Babe's son. It's the easier secret to unravel, and while the OLTL people know Paul is shady, they all think Kelly is a good girl who would never, ever lie about such a thing. That said, August sweeps seems likelier than May sweeps.
The first time I saw the trying-to-warm-up-Bianca scene, I was focused on Kendall, but on my rewatch I noticed everyone else too. Heh. There were what, six people pawing Eden at once?

Shhh...someone might hear you and actually think that they need to show Juan Pablo again. I think everyone is pretty much content with the fact that he drifted off somewhere, never to return.
Well, this episode was...uneven. I was glued to my seat for all of the helicopter "crash" scenes, and subsequent hospital scenes. Although I had to laugh when Tad finally had an actual thought and suggested that perhaps they should search the helicopter for the other baby. Yes, it didn't matter, but still, good God people, don't you have a brain cell among you?
Wow, Alicia really brought it today. I was transfixed by her. First the glorious Kinks with Kendall finding Bianca, and breaking down. SOB! And then, Kendall's reaction to hearing that Bianca's baby "died" really brought me to tears (not that that is hard; I'm a bit of a cry-baby), and her shock afterwards really got to me. There was one scene that showed them all around the helicopter as a group, and I just kept staring at her staring at Babe's baby. Heartbreaking. Thank goodness she shoved Ryan off. Poor guy, he was forced to play the "hero" with Plan B, aka Greenlee. Man, I hate him.
So, as much as I might hate the results of this story - and may I say thank GOD that we don't have to keep putting the baby-switch story in spoiler quotes - I have loved this past week of build-up. I have been racing home to see this show, just because of everyone's acting that has been involved. Kudos all around. Except for the Moms. Erica has sucked throughout this story, and I just quite frankly hate Krystal. For reasons I've already discussed (Timone!).
But, then, in really jarring cuts, we get Maria/Edmund doing who knows what (I FF all of their scenes), and Bobby/Anita trying to "re-connect". Bleh. I like the actors, and their intereactions with the established people on this show, but the two of them together? Yeah, so what. It just made the whole show seem completely off-balance, to me.

I'm already sick of this baby switch/kidnapping plot. Does anyone know how long we'll have to endure this trainwreck of a story? I have the terrible suspicion that it will last to the end of the year and possibly into the next year. I don't think I can stand more than 3 months of it.
This lets-pick-on-Bianca plot is cruel and irritating. True, Babe is also a victim of this crap but, as someone mentioned earlier, at least she's not going to have to go through months of thinking that her baby is dead. I want to vomit in rage, preferably on McTrash and her idea of a good story.

That said, August sweeps seems likelier than May sweeps.
I hate to think about it, but, I'm beginning to think that you are right. The episodes of the past few days make me think that they are in the process of setting up a friendship between Erica and Krystal, which will culminate with the two of them discovering, during May sweeps, that Bess is really Miranda. If Babe is still recovering from the infection she contracted during her delivery and has bonded with "her" baby and Bianca is just beginning to accept that Miranda is "dead" and moving on with her life, (and I agree with you,
Black Knight, in wanting Bianca to move on by focusing on her business interests) the two of them could decide that it's all for the best to let sleeping dogs lie, and let things go on as they stand. Then, it all comes spiralling out of control, just in time for August sweeps.
Was it just me or did Ryan look all how dare she not let me comfort her when Kendall was all get off of me?
Yeah, he did kinda. I was so pleased that she pushed him off. Yay, Kendall!
And let's all hope that this is a sign of things to come. The idea of Frankenbrow's face hovering just above Kendall's shoulder as she keeps vigil by Bianca's hospital bed makes me shiver. Ugh.
And of, course, Alicia crying no over and over without chewing up the scenery.
I acknowledge that this is a bit weird, but, you know what? I love the sound of Alicia's voice when she's crying. It's. . .musical. That's all I could think about today, so, I didn't tear up, even though Alicia's performance was incredible and gut-wrenching. I was enjoying it. *ahem* I need therapy.

I'm so happy that she posted already about this. She is soooooo classy and funny.

I was oddly OK with that, given that they were sitting around waiting to find out if their daughters were dead or alive. You just don't kick someone when they're down like that. If you have a friend who passes away and one of their family members is going on and on about their guilt over some huge blow up they had, even if you know that the friend was absolutely bitter and hurt over it to the end, do you say that? Most of the time, you placate them, especially if you don't think it's your place to really let them have it. Plus, I think Krystal needed to talk about the whole mother's love thing as a way to remind herself of the great relationship she and Babe share. It was comforting to her.

Alicia was fabulous today...when she saw little Mimo, her eyes just melted...I even liked Maggie for a minute, crouched down next to Mimo. And the look in Alicia's eyes when JR went to get "his" baby...
I can't wait for tomorrow. I love Jack/Kendall stuff...basically b/c I adore Walt almost as much as Alicia and Eden.
And YES! to Kendall blowing off Ryan...about time!
Kinks is love and I think Kinks will be breaking my heart this week.

I agree with you to some extent, I just think that Krystal could have toned it down a little. There was no need to go on for as long as she did. A simple, "You love your daughter and no matter what happened between the two of you, deep down inside she still knows that" would have sufficed. Then, that still would have freed Krystal up to yada, yada, yada about her relationship with Babe.

I was laughing so hard at how he was bashing that radio over and over with a rock. Was it made of titanium steel or something?
Me too! That was hysterical mainly because DT sucks ass, and was going apeshit on the radio. I thought it was funny how much care he took in bashing in the radio, yet he did such a horrible job making the rest of the crash look real. I guess it was suppose to look like the radio fell out the helicopter and then bashed itself on a rock a hundred times.
And Babe is the most tolerant person on the planet. Paul tells her that the helicopter crashed, and she's all "That's okay."
I figured that was the drugs. If this were any other SL I probably would have been laughing my ass off at Babe's drug induced loopiness upon seeing her baby. But with this SL, I was too busy being sad and pissed off.
Was anyone else yellin for Reggie, Tad, and Jamie to just kick Paul's babystealing ass? Then take him to Kendall, David, Jack, and the rest of Pine Valley and let them all kick his babystealing ass?
Yes! I was totally screaming at my tv! There were too many people standing around and not enough of Paul getting his ass kicked. I will allow it for now because everyone was in shock, but someone had better use him as a punching bag soon. Less talkie MORE ASS KICKING!
Paul is hateful. He watched Kendall fall to pieces and he didn't even bat an eye. He was only concerned with saving his ugly, bug eyed, ass.
Yes. Bastard is the word of the day. Why do you ask?
McTrash is the squad leader of the Bastard Batallion.
Ok, so Maggie, David, Kendall, Greenlee and Ryan are all trying to warm up Bianca. Greenlee stands up and Ryan goes to comfort her. Whyyyyyy? Why would Greenlee need comforting right then? I know she cares about Bianca, but that seemed so stupid to me.
The episodes of the past few days make me think that they are in the process of setting up a friendship between Erica and Krystal, which will culminate with the two of them discovering, during May sweeps, that Bess is really Miranda.

I would hate that because I'm getting to the point of liking Krystal. I would have to hate her if she keeps Miranda from her real mommy. I'm sure TPTB will come up with something like that to torture people, and then it will all be revealed at Jack and Erica's wedding, just in time for August or November Sweeps.
Oh and shut up, a thousand times, shut up, Erica! She's not sorry for a word she said to Bianca and Kendall.
I'm really enjoying Bobby and Anita. I love their chemistry. I think it would be really refreshing if they stayed together. Recast couples are almost always brought back with actors who have no chemistry, and then split up.

Erica needs to be wrapped up in a strait jacket and carted off to Oak Haven. I want to see a scene where she is ambused by all the town, like the Friends episode where they give Rachel eyedrops. Then after they drop Erica's ass off at Oak Haven I want them to hunt down Paul with glorious acts of mob violence to ensue. Kendall will lead them all with her burning torch held high. Yes, insomnia makes me a little crazy.
Anyway, Kendall was completely breaking my heart today. It was too depressing for her to have her teensy seconds with Miranda and then have it all ripped away. I hate all this baby sadness. It hasn't even really started yet, and I already hate it more than I hate Screeching Ryan.
Where's Aidan?

onewomanshow, you always crack me up, so I put you in the AGR yesterday.
Once more with feeling: Ryan sucks. Maggie's reaction shot was worse than his, though, because it looked like she was squinting to read a menu that was posted too far aaannnd, because I cannot say it enough, I want Kendall to kill Paul. After that, I want her to bring him back to life so she can kill him again.

Can someone clarifiy one point for me? Why the hell didn't Babe just call 911 instead of everyone else under the sun?

Because she's a twit? The AMC fanwank is this: she called the hospital. The nurse almost hung up on her and told her to call 911, so Babe remembered Paul is a pilot and thought she could rescue them and therefore asked to speak with him...and the rest is history.
But the answer really is that she's a twit. Greenlee did the same thing: she called David before calling 911 even thought both Babe and Bianca were unconscious and at the scene of a crash. We can snark or we can get an ulcer: there are no other alternatives.

Thanks. Pretty much what I had concluded already, but good to know I didn't miss something when I was out of the room.
On a slightly related note, do TPTB understand that for a crossover between two shows to be effective, it really helps if the viewer actually gives a flying fig about the characters?
Cause this very bad actor playing Paul Kramer, who now seems to be drawing from Snidely Whiplash for inspiration, ain't gonna make me waste another hour of my life on OLTL.

I watched enough to know how the baby switch went down, why Paul changed his story about whose baby it was, etc., and now I feel I'm just going to have to FF all the rest of it. It's just too nauseating, and you just know it's going to DRAG on for months and months and months until no one gives a shit anymore.
On the plus side, Soapboy (who, granted, is very often wrong) reports that Krystal will be spending more time with.....David! Woo hoo! Anything that keeps her away from Tad is good with me.

Wasn't that spoiled before? It seems I remember reading spoilers that said that there would be some
sort of triangle between Krystal, David, and Tad. I hope that it all leads to
Tad and Simone and David and Krystal but I am not holding my breath.

I liked Anita and Bobby today. I liked them a heck of a lot more than Maria and Edmund.
That's because Bonita doesn't cause blindness like Medmund does.
Because it can't be said often enough:
STFU Erica!!!! You too, Krystal!!!!

Hey Gang. I'm probably going to get banned from Eden's site over this, but our old friend Hagan started up on the Maggie issue in the "Bianca once Lena is gone" topic in Bianca banter. I couldn't resist replying, so if y'all could swing by for a little backup, I'd appreciate it.
At least we now know that Kendall is the one to tell Bianca. I was so afraid it was Erica.

You know, I just remembered something from yesterday's La Isla Bonita scenes that really annoyed me. "Robert Warner, you're evil in a can." Wha? What the hell does that mean?

Hagan is someone who's best ignored. She poses as an Eden fan while really having her own Olga agenda, but also posing as a Bammer when it serves her purposes. She actually wants nothing more than for Eden/Bianca to be written off the show (good luck with that). She should be read only if you can take clinical enjoyment in her utter looniness.
I agree with you to some extent, I just think that Krystal could have toned it down a little. There was no need to go on for as long as she did. A simple, "You love your daughter and no matter what happened between the two of you, deep down inside she still knows that" would have sufficed.
I agree,
onewomanshow. I wouldn't have thought it was Krystal's place to beat Erica down. They're mothers in the same boat, and Krystal barely knows Erica. What bugged me was when Krystal started whitewashing Erica's behavior. I'm going to chalk it up to Krystal simply not being able to comprehend that kind of calculated cruelty to one's daughters, and thus believing it was run-of-the-mill yelling that happens with all mothers and daughters, but it still bugged me because it ended up letting Erica completely whitewash her actions once more in her own mind and go right back to the "my truth is the only truth, this baby is nothing but a tragedy for Bianca" blah blah whatreallybugsmeisthatBianca'sdoingwhatIcouldn'tcakes.
Paul is hateful. He watched Kendall fall to pieces and he didn't even bat an eye. He was only concerned with saving his ugly, bug eyed, ass.
Babe helped screw things up, too. From Paul's POV, there were three or four people screaming at him about Babe's baby, and very little talk from Bianca's side of the family. He doesn't know Bianca at all, so he doesn't know Kendall, and Babe blabbed to him about how Bianca's own mother won't accept Bianca's baby. So he figured he could get away with saying Bianca's baby was dead and not really upset anyone that much. Now we all know Kendall could've given him one hell of a scary bitch-slapping, but she went into shock almost immediately. Sigh.

Evil in a can? Is that the same can where whoop-ass lives? Whatevercakes.

Thanks CKD Hagan is a loon, but I actually felt her point needed responding to. Plus, I haven't been to court lately, and feel argumentative without having a good forum for it. We all agree too much here.

Heh, Kendall is unintentionally bringing the funny today already. She's ranting about Erica showing insincere concern. "But I bet her eyes are bone-dry." Uh, Kendall? How is that different from any other time that she 'cries'?

How to get evil into the can? It's so crowded whith Whoop-ass and Prince Albert already in there ...
Dudes. I am not watching right now and I could not be happier!
I'll watch Olga's part of the craptacular. Then - Girlcott until this butwipe storyline is over.
