First Dates recap

Did anyone catch First Dates on Seven last week? It’s always good for a bit of fun. Unfortunately it’s not even coming up on my TV guide listings for the coming week and Seven hasn’t updated the show’s Twitter feed since last year, so it looks like MKR has bumped it.
Over to Daisy for her recap:

Hi stickybeaks of all things trash and cheesy. Married at First Sight is over, but to fill the void, we now have First Dates, which is similar but faster. Sort of MAFS takeaway. It’s worth watching if you enjoy watching weird people in slightly awkward, and hopefully romantic situations.
My recap is brief this week but I suggest you might enjoy a laugh if you sneak peek in your My Kitchen Rules marathon breaks. Last week we saw a return of our Serbian female security guard, the “curvy model”. She will never choose a guy because she is enjoying celebrity.
Otherwise we had all new ones. Pretty ones. Dorky. Mildly handsome. Boobs out. Boobs in. Chunky. Skinny. Picky eaters. Piggy eaters. Familiar with cuisine. And those who think seafood is only good if covered in batter, accompanied with chips, and served in paper.
Although there were plenty of ” No thankyous” to the offer of more dates, the pairs were far better matched than the sexperts did on MAFS.

The dinner conversations were not riveting but entertaining, and certainly strange enough for viewers to pat themselves on the back and think, “Hey, I’m not so weird after all”. I will be watching, in my pyjamas, with Woolif beside me; not the partnering of an awkward dinner date, but the result of a relaxed pick-up at Steve’s pub, Nedlands, and a “would you like a second date?” 😘

The Bold and the Beautiful – April chat with Daisy

Over to Daisy for another B&B recap and chat (thank you, Daisy):
While some might be getting sick of the musical chairs of relationships, engagements, marriage and divorce; it’s just getting interesting for me with the advent of Quidge. I really hope writers don’t let us down with this one. I want the fur to fly even more than with a wave of a Sally Spectra Boa scarf. While Quinn is trying to pour cold water on her rising lust for Ridge, and maintain her position as lady of the manor, or High Priestess of the Forrester clan; she is finding Ridges spell impossible to resist. Yep, Ridge is living up to his notoriety and Quinn’s resolve melts every time he breathes his husky garlic breath in her ear.
Between chasing after Eric and rerouting mail and newspapers to the big house, Katy, who doesn’t have to knock, has sprung Quidge in a little Last Tango in LA embrace, and has now got her blood hound nose on to get more hard evidence of a crime. Instead of running and tattling to Brooke like a good sister, she challenges the would-be lovers and gives Ridge a lecture on appropriate behaviour. Katy, that might include wiping your lippy off your wine glass when you have a rendezvous with Papa Forrester. It will be fun when Brooke returns to find her nemesis has stolen her man, or two of them now.
As usual, no one is actually doing any work. Stephie has been sitting around with Nicole discussing how blessed she is. But she is soon to have help, as Eric has once again thrown the CEO lotto balls into the air and, for the time being, made Ridge co-CEO. Maya and Rick are home with the baby. Nicole is pretending to be executive material. And wounded, passed over Thomas and Zende have been hanging out at a bar, where…..wait for it….(and it wasn’t hard to guess) a hot young spitfire, redhead named Sally (withholds the surname) Spectra introduces her gutsy, flamboyant self to Thomas. The girl has been working hard because she has impersonated her Grandma to a tee. I just hope she doesn’t have to wear those grandma fuzzy wraps all the time. I suspected there must have been a reason for Eric’s recent trip down the Sally Spectra memory lane. Anyhow, Sally Spectra take 2 should be a bit of fun. It probably means that there will now be a competing fashion house, and let’s hazard a guess that it is young, resentful Thomas who is the first Forrester talent to be scalped.
BTW, keep watch. Stephie and Nicole have been wearing wigs, and they have been very obvious.
I wanted to embarrass Juz on the bus again with another steamy pic of Stephie and Liam, but I think our newcomer deserves a shot. Happy viewing B&Bers.

Bold and the Beautiful – Dec chat

Over to B&B correspondent Daisy (thanks!):

What a roller coaster November was and now we are into December I can sense Sarah has already been peeling back the corners of her Christmas gifts to see what’s under her tree. At the Forresters’ we have that elusive power shift once again, this time to the evil, now Mighty Quinn. Has she reeeeally changed? Hmmm. Let’s see; she has been manipulating Ivy to manipulate Liam. Probably not changed since kidnapping Liam and attempting to murder Deacon.
Brooke and Bill have gone quiet. What is he up to? I am guessing something to do with the fake wedding conducted by Chaz Bono. It’s kind of time for Bill to step up to interfere in Stephie, Liam and Wyatt’s life again. And it seems like that wedding champagne, and his sex life, has been on ice too long.
As for the Avant offshoot, what will crazy Nicole do? She used to be so excited about being a Forrester model, but now she has become Rick and Maya’s personal incubator. I am thinking little Lizzie’s brother might come asking for another sister. Anyway, now that Sasha looks like being pushed out of Thomas’s arms, she will be able to swoop on Zende again, should Nicole decide hatching more babies for Rick and Maya is a good idea. It kind of has become her new job.
A lot to anticipate for December. How long before Stephie gets the tattoo removed? Will anyone show up at Thanksgiving while Quinn sits at the head of the table? Will Brooke and Bill elope or will she continue to make muffins for Ridge. Will Ridge, Thomas and Rick quit Forrester and start a rival company? Probably not. Will Brooke burn the Christmas turkey, and will Pam make lemon bars for the Christmas party?
Any Christmas wishes for the Forresters? I’ll go; I hope Rick and Maya ask Sasha to have their babies. I hope Stephie’s tattoo removal doesn’t leave too much of a scar. 😉

The Bold and the Beautiful – Sept

Thanks and over to Daisy for the latest B&B news…

Yes, Spring has indeed sprung, and Spring fever has eaten Eric Forrester’s brain, but his old man snagger has been enjoying a revival, as he sports a new gigolo hairdo, and boinks the sinister Quinn. Yes, I said boinks, not bonks, because 1. It might be a bit wibbly wobbly, and 2. It makes us shout at our screens, “Oi Eric, wtf are you doing.
My good friend and I have been discussing who has sunk the lowest in B&B recently.

We have so many choices. Top of my list is Bill because, wow, taking a kid from his mother to spite her makes him the Devil. And Wipes has been p*ssing me off, especially smug-Wipes. Did you see him, viewers, crawl up Daddy’s bottom yesterday by siding with his evil-doings? Quinn has been a bad girl, but it’s not her evil best. That would be when she is murdering people. Katy gets at least a 9/10 for evil busy-bodying as she has brought devastation to Ridge and Caroline’s love nest, and we can surely expect that Thomas will have to make his next midnight sandwich completely starkers.
Brooke is a consistent 9/10 in the evil stakes. Her narcissism keeps her performing well.
So B&B sexperts, who will sink lowest this September and who will spring (boom boom) back into our good books. Do we even have a B&B good book now that kerazeeeee Alleeee has gone? Waaaa. Bring back kerazeee Alleeee. Surely there was a twin. Feel free to make wild predictions as to who will stumble into whose bed next. Also…there has been no dna test on Little Dougie yet, so we still can’t rule out another paternity switch.
And big question….who thinks Brooke & Bill actually did do it because they were in bed together at least twice, and without reading glasses and a crossword puzzle?
