well, it's been so long since I started a thread about AMC that I almost forgot how to do it, LOL. Well, I've been watching AMC this week at night out of sheer boredom. My husband is out of town, and there's nothing on during the summer. Today, was the first day I honestly just HATED Babe. Normally, I could take or leave her. Yeah, generally I thought she was a total ho bag, but I didn't wish her off the show necessarily. I've hated other characters much worse (Julia comes to mind...as does Reggie, as does Jamie, I could go on, but I digress). But her whole attitude today about hiring Amanda today just totally sucked. I just wanted to CHOKE her. Seriously. Also, when she got all morally superior with Colby yesterday...WTF was that? Sure, Colby is acting a little skanky, but that's what tptb do with most new characters...push them to one extreme and then redeem them in some way. But Babe criticizing Colby was too much to bear. I'm mean give me a FREAKING break. I don't think Babe can pass much judgment. Okay, I'm done ranting. This is why I can't watch AMC often, it raises my blood pressure.

Rant on!I hate Babe. She really can't do anything at this point to change my mind. I rarely watch too but when I do I want to strangle her. First I loathed her for the bbayswitch thing, then the Babe=good JR=evil thing they tried to do, then the slut taking over half of Fusion..Really up to that point I could semi-respect her in the fact that she wasn't weak (still hated her) but when she defended JR for attempting to kill her and getting him off for attempted homacide and then going back to him- that's really when the character "died". I've never like the skank and I love JR but really how pathetic is she! I just can't even tolerate her now.

she was just so BITCHY today. Not that being bitchy is a) necessarily a bad thing or b) all that unusual on soaps (I do love Kendall after all)...but still. She was just out and out rude about hiring Amanda. Didn't care for it all. She's never going to get anywhere at Fusion by acting that way.
Ugh...hate...her.

it is funny how jr tried to kill her and almost killed kendell and out little spike and yet i forgive him (wonder why?? i'm a sucker) but yet i don't think i can give babe a break right now. i am impressed how she didn't let the fusion girls get to her. i would of curled up in the fetal position and cried!!!!!! but the fact she is just - i don't know - grrrrrrrr i just can't stand her at this point.

Well, right now every woman who works at Fusion is being a total jr. high bitch. I thought Babe was just giving as good as she got. If rudeness is a disqualification for working at Fusion then the entire staff would have to be axed. Actually, watching Babe today made me like her more. She didn't back down to Kendall's empty threats and she stuck up for Amanda who is fast becoming one of my favorite characters on the show. And Erin, get the hell away from Kendall before she ruins you like she's ruining Simone. I'm still liking you but you need to seriously rethink who you hang with.

I like a good snark fight but it needs to be good and the writers don't know how to write a good bitchy line. That's what's missing in the Fusion scenes. If they were being witty and bitchy it would be so much more fun to watch. The writers need to watch some epis of "Will & Grace" and observe the snarky, witty exchanges between Jack and Karen. And Karen and the little tiny gay man who won't admit to being gay. I can't think of his name right now. Now Karen was a fun, witty bitch. She could say the most catty, insensitive things and I would just laugh. Was she cruel? Hell, yes. You can't be a good bitch unless you have the wit to pull it off.

There were a few times when I saw Kendall and Simone go at it and I thought those scenes were okay. I think Simone has real Karen potential if they'll just write for her instead of having her follow Kendall around being her lap dog. They would make much better enemies than friends. And I'm getting tired of the hillbilly, white trash comments coming from Kendall. Uhm, Kendall, Babe's dad is a genius heart surgeon and your's was a scumbag rapist. You might want to think about that before you throw around insults about someone else's gene pool.

you go sweeti and get it all out!!!!!!!! ;D
i love simone and miss the hell out of her and ethan. they'd have to do a 180 on her character. i like the way simone is except for the fact she needs a good SL. greenlee had this inner power to go at it left and right with kendell. they'd crack me up. obviously they need to find someone to satisfy kendell's inner bitch but trying babe out for the role is kinda sad IMO. i just don't like how they are going to fix all they have done wrong.

While I admit, Kendall and the others are very wrong for ganging up on Babe.....it's still Babe. I can't think of anything that would lessen my hate for all things Carey. I don't have a screencap folder called "JR and the skank" for nothing.

The problem is ,imo Babe has compounded all her past mistakes by insisting on being a thorn to Kendall at Fusion. She breezed in to work when Spike was still in an incubator , then acted all huffy when kendall went for her . I think she should have shown some sensetivity for a while at least by backing off .
Really if Babe had beeen there from the start boiling up foul lipstick formulas I would find her prickly attitude more understandable . She has been foisted on Kendall imo ,and just has no right to dictate things at Fusion especially since Kendall blames her for lying on oath thereby denying her justice for what JR did to Spike .The whole Babe /Fusion thing is just a huge WTF ?with me at the moment . As for the snark at Fusion ,it left with Greenlee .

;D ;D I have absolutely loved Babe the last few days!!! I love me some Kendall, but when Babe sticks it to her, i just love it. Kendall has a FAR worse attitude around Fusion than Babe does. In fact, Babe does just fine until Kendall opens her snarky mouth. I think Babe can dish it out just as good, if not better. And her scheme to keep Amanda via the contract was delcious.
As for the Colby thing, i don't mind it at all. Yes, Colby is supposed to remind us of a really young Babe...so the irony is being flaunted. However, Babe is Colby's aunt. Colby is 15 years old. Babe is a grown woman. She has every right to give her a little lecture, and I would have done the same thing. Someone's got to, cuz heaven knows Adam won't do anything about it; and frankly, i'd much rather hear it from Babe than from Krystal.

flail, Babe is just better at being a bitch than Kendall. ;D And I mean that as a compliment to Babe. Broken record time but I find Babe's threats more convincing and less pathetic than Kendall's. High pitched whining and arm flailing (no pun intended ;D) don't impress me. Kendall, get a new schtick.

I don't have a screencap folder called "JR and the skank" for nothing. I agree, Bree. It's still Babe and I hate the skank. She could have valid points but I can't get out of my head the hypocracy that Babe always spews. And. like you, nothing can lessen my hate for the Carey clan.
