where do they get these people?
I’m on leave at present, looking after assorted babies and wives and the like. All good fun. One of the side benefits of all this is having a lot more time to catch up on day-time TV, a pleasure I only indulge in rarely.
I must say this: you get some RIGHT FREAKS on TV during the day.
Take this guy: Peter Everett
According to the Channel 10 website:
Although he counts cooking as a major hobby (he makes a great Thai salad) Peter is not a chef. He therefore “de-jargons the chef-speak”, asks lots of questions, and generally acts as a link between the audience and the professional chefs, making the show both extremely entertaining and educational.
Reading between the lines, he knows absolutely nothing and spends the show arsing about making a fool of himself.
Then there’s Dr Phil, whose voice and moustache is more annoying than his guests could ever be.
Oprah was semi-interesting today. She made a very serious point that (to paraphrase) a man’s worst fear is that a woman will laugh at him; a woman fears a man will kill her.
It sounds insightful, but it’s not true.
A man’s worse fear is that a woman will make him watch the Bold and the Beautiful.
This show must have been on for 10 years? 20 years? I’m not sure. They don’t seem to have changed at all. I swear I remember watching the show at high school and thinking Brooke was a bit of all-right.
They’ve obviously saved money by keeping the same actors and just pumping them full of more and more botox. This woman below is about 60% botox and 30% silicon. She doesn’t look at all human. It’s scary, and not just because she’s supposed to be “battling with alcoholism”.
And they call me strange for wanting to run marathons?
They must have taken the photo of the woman battling alcoholism on a good day
Looks like she got stung by a bee on her top lip!!
That’s Taylor, she was married to Ridge (who has a brother called Strom, but funnily enough does not have a brother called Cliff) after he divorced Brooke, but then she disappeared and they thought she died, then a couple of years later she came back, wasn’t actually dead but had been kidnapped by an Arabian Prince or some such, you’d drink too
All this happened over the span of a couple of years but I managed to glean this from watching only 2 episodes, my Mum however is a huge fan and helpfully filled in the gaps for me.
ummmmm i sometimes watch B and B …how embarassing
Firstly - many congratulations!! Nothing quite like the birth of your own child. I’m a bit slow as I only realised by checking into your blog for the first time in a long time….slack aren’t I. Also realised I should have checked in before now. A few trailwalker references - far too kind. Definitely a must do event!!
“Taylor” was actually quite attractive, pre-Arabian prince. She was kinda Angelina Jolie-ish. Now she looks like an extremely ugly store mannequin come to life, but only just.
