JT and Victoria have leftovers? What are they left over from? Neither one of them cooks, they either eat at the athletic club or they get take-out from the athletic club. I hope the leftovers aren't left over from when Nick and Sharon lived there.

Strange that Victoria would object so strongly to changing the name of Beauty of Nature. When Newman bought Satine she was the one who insisted the name be changed to Safra for the very same reason Adam now insists the name be changed for Beauty of Nature. But I suppose she can't be expected to remember that since she was Heather Tom at the time. What a waste of space she and JT have become, both marginal characters played by marginal actors.

If it weren't for Neil and Karen, JT and Victoria would be the most boring couple in town. I suspect the show continues to feature Neil and Karen for the sole purpose of trying to make JT and Victoria look interesting by comparison. Not an easy task but Neil and Karen are certainly up for it. Not that anyone cares, but since Neil asked Karen to move in with him I find myself wondering where exactly Karen has been living all this time. Probably at the athletic club like everyone else.

Speaking of living arrangements, I bet the people who live in Amber's building are thrilled with their new neighbor, what with all the screaming and yelling her and Daniel were doing this week. I wonder if there's a noise pollution clause in her lease. Between Amber and her overly processed, bleached blonde hair and Daniel in his "wife beater" T-shirt I half expected this to turn into an episode of Cops. I'd pay to see Amber get tasered.

At the same time we saw Nicholas, also in his "wife beater" T-shirt, playing video games with Phyllis. Suddenly this town is filled with white trash. And I've got news for you: it's about five degrees in Wisconsin right now and no matter how well insulated their homes are, even the trashiest of white trash men aren't lounging around the living room in sleeveless T-shirts. Where's the flannel?

I also find myself wondering, what is the lure Genoa City has for the successful business types from the exciting corporate world? Adam worked for a big investment firm in New York, Amber worked for a design firm in Los Angeles. Both left lucrative jobs to move to... Wisconsin? Not that I have anything against Wisconsin, mind you, it's just that - it doesn't happen. There's no reason for it to happen.

We've already established there's no place to live, and there's only one place to eat. People go from the club to the coffee shop and back to the club again on a daily basis. I wonder if there's a tram or something. I remember one episode where Heather was at the coffee house, then she went to the athletic club and ordered... coffee. It all sounds horribly tedious.

And maybe people would take Heather a little more seriously if she didn't look like D.A. Barbie with her hair hanging down and her ruffled shirts like a reject from America's Next Top Model. Or maybe if they weren't distracted by that huge mole on her lip like it just ate the state of Ohio.

Or maybe... if she didn't live in Genoa City. Just a thought.
