B&B Knocks Off The Simpsons, in Australia


In a bleak week for the daytime industry comes this little ray of hope that the industry will survive in some form. Though one has to go down under to find it. The Bold and the Beautiful knocked The Simpsons out of its primetime time slot. After all of the Days of Our Lives drama this week its nice to have something nice to think about over the weekend.

B&B used to air in primetime on Dutch TV, but was moved to the late afternoon not too long ago. They lost a lot of viewers because they kept changing it's timeslot. 

ATWT is aired three times a day. Around 10.30 PM, around 5 PM  and around 9 AM (B&B has a rerun too, around 8 AM).

I have hated on Ridge and Brooke since the beginning of time but the actors look really good together in that picture.

I blame you, Luke! LOL!

If B&B decided to write a well written love story where Ridge were an actual gentleman and Brooke weren't a bed hopping relic I could get behind them as a couple. The temperature in Hell just dropped 20 degrees!

Blame ME?!!!!! Couldn't be....How am I to blame for you liking them? I love KKL but Brooke is a trollop of Romance Novel proportions. If she actually had a backbone and didn't end up on her back so often I might like the character more. lol

Some people like being on their backs and don't see anything wrong with it! Brooke Logan, Samantha Jones and I just have healthy sexual appetites. Don't hate.

Brooke is a trollop. ROTFL!!!!

I blame you because of all the pictures you could have put up you choose the one where they actually look like a decent couple! I'm also looking into what part you played in w/ the current financial crisis. LOL!

Healthy?! That's the last word I would ever use in any description of those tramps. They are the reason penicillin was created!

You punished me for telling you my fantasies,
You held me down,
But couldn't make me break,

Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex!
Did I say something true?

Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind,
And I'm not sorry,
It's Human Nature.

LOL, Season, "Brooke is a bed hooping relic", but I still have a soft spot for the old trollop. Just not when she's fawning over that nasty pig Ridge.

Brooke likes to "walk it like a dog" like we say back home! Ain't nothing wrong with that! Nobody calls the Salty Male Sea Slut Nick out on his libido. Humph! BeLief in Brooke!

You punished me for telling you my fantasies, (First, nobody asked you what your DAMN fantasies were. Tell them to your favor of the week!)

You held me down, (I'm not into that!)

But couldn't make me break, (Which is astonishing for someone of your age!)

Did I say something wrong? (Where do I being?)

Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex! (You can talk just make sure you wipe your mouth first!)

Did I say something true? (You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the behind!)

Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind, (Isn't that a Britney Spears song?!)

And I'm not sorry, (That's between you and your god!)

It's Human Nature. (It's some species nature. I'm just not sure it's human!)

Jamey, I have BeLief in Brooke, or at least I did. The way she keeps going back to the Rigid one makes me cringe though. I want her to be a hot slut with someone else!

Season, ROTFL!

PAGING Deacon Sharpe!
I did an interview with Sean Kanan that I will be posting tonight. THAT's who needs to be walking it like a DOG with Brooke Logan! Tongue

I can't take full credit for the bed hopping relic comment. That goes to my beloved Sophia Petrillo. RIP Estelle Getty!

Jamey, your right. It's time for man whore Nick to get his due. I'm not completely sure how I feel about Deacon and Brooke together, especially, after everything that happened w/ Bridget. That being said I'd pick him over Nick and Ridge any day!

IMO Deacon should come back and be redeemed, then grovel for Bridget's forgiveness. After which, they can wind up in a steamy affair where they can't keep their hands off each other.

The thing about Brooke is that I don't mind that she can give a "lady of the evening" a run for her money, but I hate how she's so dependent on a man that is not worth it.

I cannot stand BoreBridge. Yech! I loved Ashley on Y&R but she has been a wet blanket from day on on B&B.

Jamey, no no NO! Budge rocks when she has the right material. I have faith that Ashley Jones will knock it out of the park when she gets some good storylines.

Darren, my favorite UK B&B nut, I haven't seen one scene with Ashley as BoreBridge that inspired me to do anything other than open a vein and write a letter to my loved ones! LOL

Mr Giddens, Sir, I respectfully disagree. When Bridget gave Nick the brush off and dropped her wedding ring into Katie's clammy little palm, that was good stuff.

I have to chime in guys.

The thing about Ashley's Bridget is that the writers have been given her shoddy material at best and she has done her best w/that material. So far the only time I thought she knocked it out of the park was when Bridget lost her baby Nicole.

Oh Darren....Bridget? Seriously? Her mother may be a Turbohoe but Bridget is such a wet blanket character she had to google to do research for a heart transplant. That's how good of a doc she is. As fro the men in her life it's almost as turbohoeishness skips a generation. Should she ever be lucky enough to give birth to a daughter the poor girl is going to have to go to granny-go-go for any bedroom tips and tricks.
