Kendall tells Griff that he can tell her ANYTHING; he doesn't have to hide anything from her. Oh yeah? After SAVING YOUR LIFE (multiple times), not to mention keeping you from killing David, he told you he was stealing drugs from the hospital to give to poor countries and you turned him over to the police in a nanosecond the moment you thought you would benefit from it (by getting info about Zach's death). I wouldn't tell her any secrets, either. She's the most compulsive blabbermouth in PV!
Okay, even though I don't buy eBabe deciding/realizing she's in love with Bianca, it WAS gratifying to see JAR thrown for a loop by it. How can he POSSIBLY compete with THAT? He only knows how to compete with other men. Plus he's an ASSHOLE (have I ever mentioned that I think JAR is an asshole? I believe I have, but I digress), and Bianca is somewhat of a saint. Watching JAR squirm over the situation was downright DELICIOUS! I do, however, hear the vague rustlings of yet another custody battle looming. OTOH, do they REALLY want to leave us with yet another trite custody battle over a child who has already been fought over on numerous occasions, not to mention been kidnapped many times over?
Speaking of kidnappings, Lucy hasn't been kidnapped yet and she's already several months old; they'd better get cracking on THAT one. I'm guessing Maya's boyfriend will figure into it.

AMC has gone down this maybe-I'm-gay-and-maybe-I'm-not-gay road before. Way back in the 1970s Devon McFadden was so shattered by the betrayal of the men in her life (and the mess she made of her own life in the process) that she turned to her good friend, Lynn, played by Donna Pescow. Lynn was a lesbian and Devon decided she should probably be one, too, since she liked Lynn so much and men were all pigs. She tried to kiss Lynn. Lynn let her know that it didn't work like that. You don't just "decide" to become gay because it makes more sense to you when things go wrong in a hetero relationship. I hope that in the show's finale Bianca meets eyes with someone wonderful and they smile brilliantly at each other, knowing in their hearts that they've just met "the one". Is that so much to ask? Maybe Lena will come back to whisk her away.
I don't buy that JAR is brokenhearted over eBabe and driven to drink by said heartbreak and disappointment; frustrated, yeah, but he NEVER gives in that easily, so why start drinking over it now? He doesn't even know yet that eBabe has fallen in love with Bianca, he just thinks Scott is getting in the way.
Wow, Tad really HAS turned into Joe when it comes to the fatherly advice role.

Why would a seascape remind little Bianca of a Pine Valley? Miller's Pond, maybe, but a SEASCAPE? Having ocean scenes, although annoying, is still amusing, but to have Stuart give a seascape painting to little Bianca to remind her of her home in Pine Valley while she's living in Washington is just plain insulting to the viewers.
It's nice to see Amanda take time out of her angst over an STD and the impending doom of her marriage to get a nice haircut in the middle of the night.
If Amanda is trying to avoid sex with Jake or anyone else, why is she dressed in a braless, low-cut, spray-on top with matching spray-on pants? She looks like she's about to go out clubbing. And what was with that scene with the guy at the bar. I couldn't tell if she was deliberately trying to put him off or reel him in. Are we supposed to see it as reverting to old habits during stressful times, but then thinking twice about it? Did she just not want to be bothered? It didn't really come off either way. She DID show him her wedding beringed finger. He didn't seem to care, and then she knocked a vase or something, consequently spilling water all over him, thus driving him away. It was hard to tell if she was just bumbling or being a bitch or being a cock-tease. I don't get it. It was enough to reel OPAL over to her, though, which may have been the whole point.
Didn't JAR get Hepatitis C during that whole Richie-steals-JAR's-bone-marrow storyline? Amanda's right; he SHOULD be carrying condoms at all times and USING them!
Hey JAR, here's an idea to pass the time: GO TO WORK!
They actually WENT there? Marissa is NOT gay, so why is she kissing Bianca (and doing a really bad job of it, at that)?

Amanda probably got the HPV from Jake. I thought it was particularly hypocritical of Amanda to tell JAR that from now one he should carry a condom and USE it! Pot. Kettle.
Oh come ON, Griff; just give it up and CRY already!

After David told Jane all that stuff about what a close connection they have and ended by saying he thinks he's falling in love with her, how many of you flashed to the scene in the tunnel in the Blues Brothers where John Belushi's character sweet-talks Carrie Fisher's character? As soon as David knew he had gotten to Jane, I expected him to drop her on the floor like a sack of potatoes. I hope he realizes that Jane IS fully capable of whipping out a bazooka and using it.
Project Orpheus? That sounds a little like Proteus. I do SO hope Vanessa comes back!
LOL! How many of you immediately did what Ryan did when you heard "Orpheus"? I know I immediately went to Wikipedia for a quick synopsis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus). Here's a couple of paragraphs:
"Greeks of the Classical age venerated Orpheus as the greatest of all poets and musicians: it was said that while Hermes had invented the lyre, Orpheus perfected it. Poets such as Simonides of Ceos said that Orpheus' music and singing could charm the birds, fish and wild beasts, coax the trees and rocks into dance, and divert the course of rivers. He was one of the handful of Greek heroes to visit the Underworld and return; his music and song even had power over Hades.
Some sources credit Orpheus with further gifts to mankind: medicine, which is more usually under the aegis of Aesculapius; writing, which is usually credited to Cadmus and agriculture, where Orpheus assumes the Eleusinian role of Triptolemus, giver of Demeter's knowledge to mankind. Orpheus was an augur and seer; practiced magical arts, especially astrology, founded cults to Apollo and Dionysus and prescribed the mystery rites preserved in Orphic texts. In addition, Pindar and Apollonius of Rhodes place Orpheus as the harpist and companion of Jason and the Argonauts. Orpheus had a brother named Linus who went to Thebes and became a Theban."
I'm particularly interested in the part about the brother named Linus who went to Thebes and became a Theban. Is Thebes anything like Las Vegas?
Now Amanda has an std (HPV). It's about TIME someone in PV got one. I expected Tad The Cad to get all kinds of STDs way back in the day.
Jane begs Jack to make love to her. She's had a taste of David and now she wants more sex, but David artfully kicked her out. Jack had BETTER be able to tell that that is not Erica! One night of sex may pop a 63-yr-old cherry, but it hardly makes up for a lifetime of virginity when it comes to experience and, um, elasticity.

Hm, that's a new exterior shot of the pool area at the Chandler estate. It looks somewhat LAish, though, to the point that my first thought was Beverly Hills 90210.
Amanda is supposed to be the head of PR for Chandler. Doesn't she have a staff to oversee? The only staffs she oversees are either Jake's or JAR's. BRRRUMPT-TING!

Re Monday's show (4th of July), how many of you started watching it and thought that they actually WERE going to make it all (or at least some of it) a dream when they saw Zach kissing Kendall awake? What a letdown to realize it was merely a rerun.
How much fun did Susan Lucci have telling herself as a doppelganger that her feet were too big and her fingers were too fat?
Well THAT was an undignified angle for the camera to be closing in on. I'm referring to Jane unconscious on the floor, her legs somewhat spread and bent while wearing a pair of white pants as the camera panned in closer and closer, starting near her feet and somewhat off to the right. Susan Lucci looks good from any angle, but that was ... icky!

Madison's New Look, 7/1/11
I mentioned in the Boogie Chillen for Friday that the whites of Madison's eyes looked black at the beginning of the episode, but she must have bleached them by the end of it. Here's a comparison shot from when she walked into the Fusion office and when she was sitting at the ConFusion bar downstairs talking to David. Obviously, along with all the other deficiencies of the Fusion office, they have bad lighting, and she WAS looking hard to the side at ConFusion, which would show more white. I know it was part of the "dark" effect, but really, all I could think about was how irritated her eyes must have been to look so murky.
I just had a flash of memory from waaay back. I remember reading an interview once with John Ashton, who played Gomez Addams on 1960s The Addams Family TV show. He said that he wore special contacts/eyeball covers to make his eyes look bugged out on the show. I think that was vaguely in my mind when I saw how dark the whites of Madison's eyes were.

The bottoms of Erica's shoes are kind of dirty for just walking around her carpeted room & bathroom. Did Jane get them from Erica's closet or are they Jane's castoffs? Jane's already wearing last season's shoes while pretending to be Erica, so I can only imagine Erica's humiliation at wearing Jane's castoffs, even though Ben is the only one who sees her.
That crystal chandelier above/near Erica's bed looks like it could be useful for smashing into something, if only for the satisfaction of breaking it.
What did Madison do, put on black contacts that cover all of the whites of her eyes? She definitely looks like someone who would shoot Greenlee. I hope that suit of armor Greenlee has is bulletproof. My guess is that it WILL come into play in that respect and that Madison will somehow get hold of Ryan's gun that they so carefully tried to fool us with on his wedding day.
That medieval photo session with Ryan and Greenlee was the most animated I've seen them in a long time - maybe YEARS. I actually did NOT FF through it and kind of liked it, probably because it looked like they were genuinely having fun. They're probably relieved they can move on to something else soon, so they can relax - it's not like they are going to get fired at this point for not being overly soapy.
I think I'm jaded by short-timer's attitude at this point. There was a commercial on Soapnet about going there to keep tabs on who's coming and who's going. WTF? They're ALL going!
So Madison's new campaign is Angry, Harsh, Spiteful, Hateful, Man-Hating Bitch? Ooookaaay. Well, at least she bleached the black out of the whites of her eyes. That had to sting.
Every time I see Madison now I think of the evil uber-bitch, Katinka, in Zoolander. How long will it be before she accuses someone of wearing K-Mart clothes?
Why did Jane pass out? The only thing she hit on the way down was her hand, and that was on a lightweight piece of plastic.

For those following the Casey Anthony trial, I just realized that Jose Baez sounds a LOT like Jake! It makes me dislike BOTH of them even more than before.
When Griff said he was leaving PV, my response was "Isn't everyone?"
Griff's taking off with virtually NO notice? Well, THAT came out of nowhere. We know he's wanted to leave for a long time, but when he DOES, you'd think he'd give more than a few minutes noticed.
Does it seem to anyone else like they are already wrapping things up? I'm seeing:
It's all a little too pat for me. In fact, it's downright creepy! Loose ends are being tied up right an left. Are actors being dropped or jumping ship or both? Is the show even going to be BACK after the 4th of July?
LOD:
Okay I DID laugh when Kendall burst into Ryan's living room and Tad announced: "Stripper's here."
I'm sorry -- I can never see Greenlee's belly without remembering that poem she had written on it for Aidan.
Why is Madison doing all that makeup in the office? Don't they have a lab or ladies room or something like that in the building?
Why doesn't anyone tell Angie how dull and unflattering that blouse is?
Amanda said she and JAR didn't use protection (told ya) and now she might be pregnant. Most women in PV start getting morning sickness and/or start fainting within a day or two of conception.
Jane is a VIRGIN? I'm pretty sure Jack would have noticed THAT had she given him an opportunity to deflower her.

- Cara and Tad going on a real date.
- Ryan and Greenlee getting close again. In fact, Tad officiates yet another wedding for them. I'm so ... underwhelmed.
- JAR and Marissa getting back together.
- Lots of flashbacks are occurring.
- Madison suddenly has a new attitude and is striving for a new look.
