Can't wait to see next weeks big crossover ratings. I predict same-to-plus .2, which will be about where the ratings were before they hired Pimp InnocentXXXII.

Erica was great today. You could actually see her mind changing. And the little jerky movements she did when found out about the baby were excellent - you couldn't tell whether or not she was going to lose it, faint, etc. They showed her weakness, even when she was trying to be strong.

I am really starting to like Babe. I hated her when she first came on, what with the sex, cows and bad outfits and all. Now I think she's going to be one of the gem's of this show. An Opal for the new generation, if you will.
Oh, and I hate Paul and wish him dead.

David then tells Erica I don't know how it happened but you got exactly what you were hoping for and asks how it feels then Ryan tells him he's sick and goes to start a fight with him. It gets broken up.

Bianca can't believe it and Kendally keeps telling her Miranda is with Mona. Bianca then keeps telling her she promised Miranda she'd keep her safe and wouldn't let anyone hurt her. Tells Kendall to go and bring her baby. Kendall cries she can't. Bianca then keeps yelling Miranda and you see Jamie looking at JR holding the baby.

Part 2

Reggie goes back to Greenlee's. Danielle is another one of Green's dresses and asks if he found Bianca. Reggie gets angry at her and tells her to get out and find another meal ticket. Tells her she can keep the clothes and then says the baby died. Then says Bianca has been dying over and over again and he can't do anything about it and he sits down and Danielle consoles him.

Kendall and Bianca very upset and crying. Bianca starts freaking out and Kendall gets up into the bed and tries to hold and comfort Bianca.

JR tells Jamie he doesn't deserve this. Jamie tells him not to say that. JR says if what happened to Bianca happened to Babe and I, I don't think we could survive.

Krystal looking at Babe. Says Babe is lucky when she talks to Tad. Tad then tells her it was Paul. Then Krystal gets all angry and says what did he do, because he had to have done something. Tells Tad you can't believe what he says. Tad says all that he has said has checked out, but there is going to be an investigation.

Kelly again questions Paul abotu the baby. Paul says the mother could never love him. Tells her that the mother doesn't even know who the father is. (good indication right there that the baby is Paul's) Tells her to forget about the birth mother.

Babe starts freaking out again and remembers/dreams what Paul said to her about the crash. She then gets up and Krystal comes in and tells her she is going to be ok but notices she's burning up.

Kendall lying with Bianca in her bed and holding her and they are both still upset and Kendall sees Erica. Erica then comes into the room.

Previews

Greenlee see Danielle and asks what she is doing in her place

Aidan asks if Ryan wants to have a go at the gym.

Bianca then tells Erica don't even say it.

Damn, based on those previews for Monday, we are going to be in constant tears. Too bad we finally get Kinks in a bed for such a heartbreaking reason.

Jesus!
On a shallow note: Kendall is so the daddy. Kendall and JR are the daddies.
Homophobia as Kinks-y goodness. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
JY- You cannot act, k? Your "concerned" look is the same as your "I am furious" look. aka- the "who farted?" look.

I'd rather Olga left today than see Monday.
And I prefer she left yesterday than hear her say, "I'm sorry." ever ever again. I hate this crappy show. Except for Kinks, Erica, Jack, and Babe.

Lucci and Eakes were bringing the MoYay today!

Adam: "The other baby isn't missing. I was just hungry and needed a snack." tm-CKD.

Slap that mofo, Brooke! Loved some Brooke action today.

Ouch. Monday's going to be a bastard.

Lena comforts Maggie.

Well, someone has a short memory...

Well, this was just a really good episode today, with the one exception of David/Ryan screaming at each other about Greenlee.

Watching Lena haul Maggie out of Bianca's room made me happy. Go Lena! Kick the little midget's ass! Olga rocked in her scene alone with Bianca, but I have to admit I was a bit distracted by the shade of lipstick she had on. Too bright for her complexion.

I loved Greenlee's talk with Jack, in which she got some much-needed reinforcement that Jack loves her very much and wants her around. Jack saying he might have to tell Bianca about the baby, though, made me laugh. Yeah, Jack, like Kendall would ever allow you or Erica or anyone else other than her to do it.

The "auto-snark" with Erica and Brooke was great and speaks to their long history. Erica automatically throwing a barb at Brooke and then stopping herself and apologizing. I liked the mention of Brooke's own loss. However, Erica? Laura died. Miranda "died". Bianca is still alive. There is no comparison here. I liked how Brooke didn't necessarily tell Erica that she was right, but reinforced the point that Erica loves Bianca deeply. I like what they're doing with Erica right now; her mindset seems realistic and she's fairly likable. I don't think she's changed her mind about Miranda per se, but she's finally understanding that Bianca loves that baby and that she's going to be devastated, and for that, if for no other reason, she should keep her damn mouth shut about the "tragedy of a rape baby". Her desire to comfort Binks is still a bit too me-me-me, but this is Erica.

Loved the Babe/Erica scenes. I got to take out the pervy filter and giggle a little over Babe being so insistent that Bianca must not leave town. I also liked the subtle smackdown Babe delivered to Erica, letting her know how Bianca felt but also that Bianca loves Erica and thought during her labor about how Erica loves her. Babe just rocks. And I must congratulate the makeup department once more on the jobs they're doing on both Alexa and Eden.

Wow, McTrash is actually not hauling out the "Bianca can never conceive again" knife-twist. Color me shocked.

Alicia just made me tear up in nearly all her scenes. (Oh, and it must be said, Ryan being all "Don't shut me out now" in his first scene with her? Yes, that is the most important thing on Kendall's mind right now, of course. Shut up, Ryan!) First blaming herself--I knew it had to be coming--for what happened, being anguished over how Bianca gave birth and so on. (Ryan, bringing up the lamaze partner thing was not the best idea.) Then later, her longing look at Mimo. Broke my heart. Then her telling JR afterwards that when she'd looked at Mimo, she'd seen Bianca. Kendall, stick to your instincts! Especially with the new spoiler of Bianca promising to take care of Babe's baby if anything happens to Babe and some other random spoilers--it really does sound like Bianca may get suspicious soon that Bess is really hers, and I will be so happy if AMC does not make Kendall one of the no doubt large group of people telling Bianca not to be silly and that she needs to accept Mimo's death and move on.

And, of course, the end. Guys, was bringing the wrecked incubator to the hospital really a good idea? That's just going to give Kendall and everyone else nightmares, looking at that destroyed incubator and imagining Mimo thrown through it and into the river. Gah. Keep it away from Bianca, please. Man, that was so jarring when poor, poor Lena bounced into the somber gathering all happily with the last news anyone wanted to hear right now. Kendall's got like two minutes now to figure out how she's going to tell Bianca what happened.

ETA:
I took that as the same sort of thing as JR's "I'm so sorry" to Kendall. It wasn't an I-did-something-wrong "I'm sorry" apology, it was an I-feel-sad "I'm sorry." So I was completely fine with it.

It pissed me off to see Cromag Ryan carrying the broken incubator. Why, Why does he always have to be the one delivering the bad news. What an ass!

I've watched AMC off and on for a while, but I've gotten kind of involved with this Babe/JR storyline and now the Bianca/Babe/Baby storyline with OLTL. I used to watch that show for Megan & Jake, but then I got into DOOL (fool that I am) and stopped watching.

My question, have they ever done a storyline across all three ABC soaps? I know that Felicia Gallant/Rae Cummings was on all three, but just as a backup character. With the Nicholas accident on GH and the river near by, it seems like they are trying to set up a three soap storyline. Has that ever been done?

At the magnitude to which you're describing? No, it hasn't. And GH isn't likely to join in on this crossover stuff simply because it isn't practical, being that it's taped in L.A while AMC and OLTL are in NYC.

Damn this show! That scene when the guys came in and told everyone? I lost it. I started tearing up at the end of the prior scene, just seeing the look on Reggie's face when the elevator doors opened. When they came back to the scene and the guys told them what happened? The waterworks were flowing. And I even know the baby's alive, and I still bawled my eyes out. I was crying so hard that ToddlerKerleyQ climbed up next to me to give me a hug. (Which only made me cry harder for a few seconds, then I eased up.)

It's official--I love Babe. I hope they don't use this SL to wreck that love. Her speech to Erica today was great. Really, just keep her away from JY and she's wonderful.

Kendall staring in at the nursery and looking at that empty bassinet? Broke my heart into a million pieces.

And Brooke slapping Adam? Loved it.

And thank everything that's good and holy, or the Dark Father even, for that, because the last thing AMC or OLTL needs is the Drab Four taking over those shows too with their mob crap.

I remember a long time ago AMC and Loving did something along these lines--Loving's Dinah Lee's psycho ex was also AMC's Galen's psycho ex, I believe.

I'll have to wait til Sunday for today's ep, as I'm off on retreat with 40 high schoolers--am I nuts??

It sounds great but MONDAY? Holy Cow...break out the tissues...Kinks is going to make me sob.

Kinks is love

[QUOTE]Maggie and Lena then cry on each other.[/QUOTE]

I know that's just a typo, but it makes me laugh. I see Maggie looming over Lena while her tears fall on Lena. Then Lena looms over Maggie making her tears fall on her. Big wet sloppy mess, but not the kind of big wet sloppy mess I'd really like to see.

Heh, regis. Maybe Lena's crying together with Maggie is really a plot on Lena's part. If Lena cries enough, given their height differential, Maggie will be drowned in Lena's tears while Lena herself is still three feet above the water line...

Hee. The "Maggie's a midget/Maggie's fashion roadkill" jokes will always amuse me. Always.

That's because they're all so, so good. Ah, good times.
Also?

Kinks Is Love.

I lost it too. I had BabyDrCher in my arms, saw the destroyed incubator and everyone's reaction to it and I started to tear up.

And didn't Trish and Tucker come over from Loving to someone's wedding on AMC once? One of Erica's perhaps?



Word. I teared up, too, and I usually have Adam's emotional capacity. I even felt kinda bad for Erica, which never, ever happens. Good acting all around today. And I too am annoyed that Ryan was holding the incubator. So. much. hate.

WTF is the matter with them, bringing the battered incubator into the hospital to show everyone? A major writer mistake, imagining this grand, emotional moment that just can not play on screen because it would be just too inhuman and cruel. I'm glad the baby didn't "really" die, God knows what they would have carried in. And Ryan? Go. Away. We. All. Hate. You.

I finally thought of one reason for us to be glad that Frankenbrow was carrying the incubator--it kept him from going around "comforting" Kendall, Erica, Greenlee...

All I kept thinking is "Damn, will Babe NEVER shut up?!??!??!" Not even the "she's got...an...an...infection" can keep that girl from yakking out her trailer trash/new mother love wisdom.

I do grow weary of all this BeeAHNcah DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!!!!!! Love all these characters continually sprout...I haven't seen anyone this fawned over and worried about since my retired parents got a new puppy.

And shouldn't the ghost of Michael be terrorizing Paul right now? C'mon Mikey, the dude took your baby, man!

I went to UCLA for a couple days to spend some time with the boyfriend and was watching Wednesday's episode with a friend when Ryan came on and she immediately said, "Ew, gross! He's ugly!"

Ha! Frankenbrow just can't win.

Good acting, all around. Except Maggie. And JR. Oh, and Cam Math, but I'm so immune to him now that I just pretend he isn't even in the scene. It must be someone else comforting Kendall. It must be someone else carrying the smashed up incubator. What? That's not immunity you say? It's delusion? Eh, I'll take it.

But I really liked Susan Lucci today. She made me believe that Erica is a great deal of pain, even though I think more of it is directed to herself for driving Bianca away than it is for her "dead" granddaughter, but it worked for what it was. I really liked the scene with Brooke, too, and Julia Barr's expression when they brought in the incubator was quite possibly what sent me over the edge to tears falling. Great continuity, that.

Besides the obvious (Kendall telling Bianca about Miranda), I think the scene I'm most dreading for tear purposes is when Babe finds out or the first time she's with Bianca. *sniff* AH really sells that Babe cares for Bianca, and delivering Miranda created an even stronger bond, and I'm just thinking those will be brutal scenes.

Susan did rock today. And Liz? There are no words for her "this is my sad frown" look. Standing anywhere near the SuperEmoter Alicia is a bad idea for her.

Moday it's Olga's turn to carry the troll baggage and try to make Liz look intresting. Again.

Sets being worked on Monday the 29th include (but are not limited to): Babe's ICU room, Edmund's hospital room, hospital chief of staff office, and the Vegas casino bar.

Does *anyone* care anymore?

Just finished up watching the last two days...you know, as much as this friggin show pisses me off, that was some good soap opera. And wow, I forgot how much I like Brooke...that scene with Brooke and Erica was great. When you have pros like Lucci and Barr who have been at it so long, there's just a 'shorthand' that gives scenes more ooomph. And no one can slap David Canary like Julia Barr!

Loved Lena shoving Maggie out the door--hah!

I can take benign annoyances like JY and LizH, but I don't know how much more I can take of CamMath....the endless fluffing of Ryan makes me throw up...Ryan being the one to carry the incubator into the hospital (when HE wasn't even the one to find it!) was just too much! I think the insistance of TPTB to make everyone care about Ryan is even more clueless than them keeping Olga sidelined during her AMC run.

Bastards.

Oh, and these are jokes right?
Erica starts a Las Vegas act?
Edmund and Maria have a "mystery" dream sequence?
Oy.

What was Maggie thinking about, what she's have for lunch? Feh.

I loved Brooke today, both with Adam and Erica. Speaking of which, LaLucci was fantastic those last few seconds: very powerful indeed.

Ryan? Shut up and go. away. now. What the hell with the incubator? Yeah, 'cause all the anvils flying around weren't enough to chisel the drama into my brain.

I love Adam and Brooke but today I just wanted her to shut up. Ooh, Adam you are so evil for being happy hour grandchild lived. And you don’t care at all about Bianca. Except wait, didn’t you cover up things in the Cambias murder trial?

Oh, man, word. I even read this post before I watched the show, since I tape it, and tried to steel myself, but still bawled like a little baby. Reggie didn’t have one line in this episode but he still affected me a hell of a lot more than dumbass Ryan. But, come on, of COURSE Ryan would be the one bringing in the incubator. He has to be front and center in anything that happens in Pine Valley. Heck, he’s probably there when anyone has to go to the bathroom, just so he can ask them to not ignore him, and look at them “intensely”. Blech.

As much as I hate this whole "baby switch" storyline, and feel, as does much of Pine Valley apparently, that Bianca really has suffered enough, and this is just unnecessary, that I have been absolutely riveted to my TV for the past week. Except for one day of Edmund/Maria nonsense, I like the fact that the show has been almost entirely concentrated on this one event, and yet there are still so many characters involved. I love how new relationships have been formed, different people who never would’ve had a connection now have one, and the acting overall has been absolutely outstanding. So despite the obnoxious fall-out, so far this has been the most I’ve been involved in a soap in years. Or, well, since Rose died last December on ATWT. But that’s another topic.

My favorite parts of today’s episode -

1) Kendall just staring at “Bess”. I think I really realized how much she has grown and improved as an actress with this scene. No hysterics, heck, no dialogue, but I was bawling just watching her. She has really learned how to work her face to get you inside her head. Beautiful. And, although JR is just dumb, I really liked the camera shot that showed the reflection in the glass of him comforting her. It was subtle, and sweet, and yes, I cried some more.

2) Erica and Brooke’s scene. Just for the excellent use of history, if nothing else. And I finally got the sense that Erica seemed to realize that she had been a complete bitch to Bianca in this scene. Plus, Brooke completely rocked, as always.

3) Brooke slapping Adam. Just because it needs to be done more often.

4) Babe’s speech to Erica. I didn’t even mind how much of a stretch it was for Babe not to really ask about JR or her baby, but had to tell Erica off. I think my Babe love might now be complete. And Alexis is really bringing it. Of course, there was a “shut up, Erica” moment in there. God, Erica, this poor chick that might be dying is telling you to make up with your daughter, and all you can say is get some sleep? How about humoring the poor chick, and promising that you’ll try. Geeze.

5) OK, yes, I’m a Timone shipper, so I’m used to sailing on ships that are drowning. But, now I’ve decided to be on a ship, hell, BUILD the damn ship, that really doesn’t exist, and never will. Because my absolute, hands down, favorite part of this episode was when David went over to comfort Kendall. Sigh. I just love them. Lots.

And, you know, I even understand them bringing in the incubator. Yes, it was horribly insensitive and even cruel, but I think the impact it gave the audience was ten times more effective than any of them trying to explain what they found. A picture is worth a thousand words. And that incubator is really what had me losing it, even though I knew it was all a LIE. Damn this show.

You are not alone in your love of the Kenvid, katesus7, for I lurve them too. If we build it...wait I can't finish that because it sounds dirrrty, and I didn't mean it that way. But yeah. Kinks is love, but Kenvid is hot!

Okay, not that I want to see that Michael Cambias person, nor remember that MiMo was fathered genetically by that Michael Cambias person, but I would personally sit outside of Wal-Mart selling baked goods from now until however long it takes to raise the money that would bring that Michael Cambias person's ghost to OLTL to haunt the ever loving shit out of Paul Cramer. Like, I want Paul Cramer in a corner crying for his mommy while that Michael Cambias person's ghost dances in front of him saying "woogitty, boogitty." Really. What do I need to do to make this to happen? Cause I will do it!!

Now. I'm going to go prepare myself for the midnight hour. Because it sounds like I'm gonna be a crying fool by the time this episode is over.

Yeah, he is always the messenger of bad news. Why can't someone please shoot the messenger! I'm tired of all the NutsackRyan pimping...Pine Valley has become Ryan Valley and I want a ticket out of here! I'll hitch a ride with Lena.

Speaking of my Polish beauty, I loved how she pulled Nagster out of the room. It reminded me of when my mom would yank me out of the grocery store for being a pain in the ass. In the scenes with Binks and Lena, all I could think of was "Lena, you are looking mighty fine in those jeans." It was distracting from the sad emotional scene. And about Lena comforts Maggie poor Olga, she is really doing penance for the snarky remarks she has made throughout her stint in Ryan Valley. Oh well, Olga is a strong enough actress to carry Liz. I bet Eden, Alicia, and Olga are developing humps on their backs from carrying the little gnome.

They really should not put Liz next to Alicia during an emotional scene. I could see Liz trying to pull it off but couldn't and then they panned over to Alicia and she had me crying in an instant. Opposite ends of the acting spectrum.

And now I'll give some of you another reason to like Mr. KerleyQ. In addition to counting Kinks rack checks, every single time he has happened upon a Maggie scene, he always makes a crack that is some variation on "I'm sorry, was she saying something? As soon as her mouth started moving, I fell asleep." The poor man still shudders over his memories of being unfortunate enough to witness some of the Maggie/Henry borefest. He considers her the most boring actress ever, and honestly thinks a Bam relationship would ruin many a man's fantasies about two women together.

I hate this show. Kinks drew me back in for a while, but it is just not worth all this, I'm sorry. Sure it was hard to watch all those scenes today, but still the overwhelming feeling was just one of extreme outrage and frustration instead of sadness. There were no tears, just a lot of screaming, "C'mon JR, just come out of the closet and realize that your baby is Miranda!" I hate these types of storylines; they put me in a death rampage type of mood and for this one to possibly last for years?! I wash my hands. I hope you guys keep of the kinky goodness on the boards because I can't stand watching person after person getting in line to fuck Bianca over.

I'll be waiting for the day that Bianca decides to commit suicide with an Ophelia-esque drowning in the river where Miranda died only to have the hospital run a random blood test seconds later and discover that Bess is ::gasp:: actually Miranda.

Finally, just because:

Kinks is LOVE.
and
God loves you (Well, everyone except you, Bianca. He hates the fuck out of you).

I know Naggie was probably right about being too worried about Bianca to call Lena, but still STFU Naggie! God. LH sucks. Her attempt at sadness was laughable.

I think AM deserves an Emmy simply for the way she delivered the line: "I looked in her eyes and I saw Bianca." Wow. It doesn't get much better than that.

I'm not sure what to think about the incubator. It was the equivelant of a dead body and part of me wishes TPTB would leave Miranda's disappearance a mystery so that it gave the characters a little bit of hope that she might've survived and been found by someone else or question whether she was even in helicopter when it "crashed".

The other part of me says it was a good thing, because leaving what happened to Miranda a mystery would probably be worse for Bianca, then definitively knowing her baby is dead. Not that I'm looking forward to watching Bianca unneccessarily grieve, but she can move on, and it will be even more joyous for her when she finds out that Miranda is alive, because she was sure she was dead. Does that make sense? Probably not, but I'm conflicted about how I feel about the SL in general. It's horrible,and I hate the SL, and I hate what it's doing to Bianca. I want Bianca to be happy with her baby. But it's great soapy drama, and most of the actors are kicking ass. Like katesus7 said, it's making excellent use of almost the entire cast. Reading the spoilers and scenes for Monday, I'm already in tears. I can't say the same for TFGH. I like reading spoilers and feeling something other than laughter. I also like reading spoilers that involve more than four characters.



I know I was blown away by MBJ. He was incredible.



I have no doubt that Babe will be told that, with the infection. Then if she somehow finds out that Bess is Miranda, she might end up believing her baby died instead, and on top of that she can't have any more kids.



I loved it but I didn't think it was a stretch at all. The fact that she's delirious from fever, and the fact that Erica was in the room when she woke up didn't make me question why she didn't ask for JR or her baby before talking to Erica. Now if she woke up and had asked for Erica to come to her so she could give Erica smackdown, that would've have been a big stretch.



Heh. You know, I wouldn't mind Paul being haunted Micheal Cambias either.

Hee!


I am fucking DURNK tonight but do you know how mych I love you for that? Tons. [sniff] Alicia is THE bomb.

PS: Wish me well on my hangover.

Oops. Wrong thread. Sorry.

The kid who plays Reggie really deserves an emmy! The pure look on his face conveyed emotions w/o uttering a word. Heck, even hsi clothes looked dirty. But Ryan walking in clean and carying that incubator was vomit-inducing. I agree it should've been someone else.

BTW, I thought Kendell saying "seeing Biance eyes in the baby" was corny and unneeded.

I am not even regularly watching AMC anymore (I am protesting), but this is the funniest thing (along with the whole "hoo hoo hover" in the commercials thread) I have read in a long time.

Allergic2love
BF at UCLA? LATimes Festival of Books on the 24th/25th. Awsome event.

Oh, and God does hate Bianca hardcore! Even Reggie knows that. That is why she has turned to the Dark Father and his comforting plan for her and her girlfister.

If laughing at this for five minutes straight is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Not wrong. So right!

More (many more) Kinks cappies on Eden's board in the Kinks thread. We, the veteran minions of The Dark Father ... are being surpassed by mere newbie acolytes of Kinks! Black Knight, I nominate you to go there and present to this week's obvious ceremonial Whip Handler. (Oh, and Sam so deserves it. The original Kinks thread starting complainer is the Kinks cappie bitch now!)

so Kinks

While you are there, put in a good word for the "Kinks should have it's own section" campaign.

Holy, mother of God. Those are some damn good Kinks pics. Even though I got the flirty head tilt before, seeing the before and after pics just made it that much hotter. And all of those others? Wow. Anyone who sees all those pics together has GOT to understand the true power and wonder that is Kinks. I officially nominate samxart to run the sled for this week. I also nominate Boyd to come bring me a Kinkstini as soon as possible.

Because, damn. Kinks is Love

Oh, topic? Yeah, I left one thing out of my list of favorite parts of Friday's episode. Although, may I first say that I'm loving the fact that I actually have a list of my favorite parts of an episode? There was a time where I couldn't come up with a list for a whole week. Just another reason that I'm bitterly liking this crappy SL. Yes, that makes no sense, but I just can't help it!

Anyway, the final shot of Kendall's face? There are just so many conflicting emotions. Because, heck yeah, she's happy that Bianca is finally awake - you know she was worried about Bianca's health. And then, she was so devastated at the thought that Bianca was going to have to find out about her baby's "death". And finally, the horror of knowing that SHE was going to be the one to break it to Bianca. Because in her mind, there's no way anyone else was going to get in that room before her. I can see her drop-kicking Erica, shoving Jack down the hall, and just bitch-slapping Naggie to get them out of her path. Which, you know, wouldn't be a bad scene to watch.

But, yes, I saw the relief (of Bianca waking up), grief (of the damn incubator), worry (of how Bianca would handle things), and horror (of having to tell her), all flash through Kendall's face at once. I was just in awe. Of course, I was also bawling. But that's been covered.

SkiffyPup, that Lianca Kinks photo you linked to was great. Olga's so tall! Love her shorter hair. But wow, some of those posts over at the SS are hard to read, and not just from the heavy use of emoticons. I noticed you tried to suggest some use of capitals, sentence structure, etc. Man, it makes my head hurt to try to get through some of that stuff!

That is the RR, Regis. And I know what you mean!
What we have to endure to get the photos. Man.
This.one.is.the.worst.ever
I think The lord is coming to judge the sledders? Dunno.

Hee, hee, hee. That Lianca Kinks picture is awesome. I really wish that shot went low enough to show their hands. Hee, I love the shirts Olga wears, I don't know why.


Also, god totally does hate the fuck out of Bianca. She really should know better by now. She'll never be happy. Ever.

I hate this show.
