You know, I actually watched most of it without FF'ing through too
much -- except much of the Icky stuff.

Agreed.  The best scene was when that other doctor was arguing with
Carpet about her medical van.  Finally, a dose of reality.  I agreed
with the doc -- no matter how good Abdulla's intentions are, she's not
thinking about it rationally.  I applaud the doc for putting her in
her place.  Even if that scene was supposed to make us feel sorry for
her -- it had the opposite affect on me.

Just another one of the DOOL ploys to get them happy and send them on
their way -- a la Faith & Scotty and Eve & MM.

With Vern losing both his sons, can we hope to see a glimmer of Cassie
soon?  Doubtful.

You hit it on the nose, Spud.  She seemed like a total stuck-up b*tch,
and completely un-likable at all.

Yes, I would love to see (after Lawrence realizes that Nikki is his)
him raise the child WITHOUT Carpet.

Notice that everyone TALKED about how Icky wowed the board members with
her fabulous tactics, but never SHOWED any of it?  That's because 
Staci wouldn't have been able to pull it off!  At least TPTB recognize
it and don't have her doing much except grabbing her lower back and
meshing face every now and then.

But, I did like John and Victor's scenes together.  It would be 
interesting to see those two grieve and console each other after the
monster goes bye-bye.

>Now, shock of shocks. I really enjoyed Kim freaking out, it was so funny.

I wasn't impressed, but then again, I didn't hate it.  I did find it
interesting watching her practically drool all over the phone talking
to Phillip.

>Though the best part of the day was Lisanne buttering up Viv. And Viv

This WAS good and just proves that when you have two great actresses
in a scene together, the show improves.

>Hoot, hoot

It is happening again -- on August 28th!
