Rick is wreaking havoc at Forrester -- but what if that led to an explosive disaster that involved the whole cast? What if we saw old faces, made sense out of loose ends, and went on jaw-dropping remotes with stories to match? It's time once again for a B&B that could be -- a flight of fancy you can only be taken on by Two Scoops' Mike!
January 12, 2015

January 26, 2015
Caroline, Ivy, Pam, and Liam blasted Rick. Nicole, Bill, and Brooke put Maya on blast. And Rick may have had a blast gunning down Ridge and Caroline! B&B followed its bang-up week with a shot at celebrating 7,000 episodes -- see if the retrospective hit the target with Two Scoops' Mike!

Los Angeles residents have taken the game of Musical Chairs to the next level.

So Two Scoopers, grab your bowls, enjoy the tunes, and at the end of each round, predict who wins a seat and who's left standing on the Bold and the Beautiful.

Candy conversation hearts were flying all over Los Angeles this week. Liam got one from Steffy that said WANT U BACK. Quinn needed to make sure Deacon was ALL MINE.

Join Two Scoops' Mike as he ponders that very question!
February 23, 2015
Brooke may have attracted attention by chugging down anything fermented, but other Los Angeles residents behaved as if they were under the influence, too.

Intoxicating or incredible? Get on the wagon with Two Scoops' Mike!

This week on B&B, it's all about control, and leashes are a hot commodity in L.A. Every leash deserves a matching collar, according to jewelry artisan Quinn Fuller. Bound by guilt? Chained in history? Shackled by love? Disenfranchised in profession? Quinn has the collar for every L.A. freak on a leash who faces social, economical, professional, or romantic tyranny. Grab your bowls before someone smacks you in the face and orders you to stay away from it, and settle in to discover who wears the collars, who holds the leashes, and just who is walking whom in this freak on a leash parade.

The back of Quinn's hand had Brooke getting an up-close look at her carpet, but other faces were stinging among the Forrester-Logan-Spencer clan, too, if only metaphorically.

Drunk Brooke who? La Logan's soused spotlight got yanked away from her just in time for Nicole to reveal the sister of all secrets!

When it comes to plot twists, the Bold and the Beautiful has its viewers on the Mind Bender roller coaster without seatbelts. In Los Angeles, there's a whole lot of bending going on. Truth benders, gender benders, alliance benders, and nerve benders. If we can't get counseling from Taylor about it, we might as well turn to Othello for some musical therapy.
April 6, 2015
When Deacon seemed to buy stock in the Waffle House due to his inability to decide between ladies, Wyatt got the point while Quinn took a stab at Brooke.

April 27, 2015
The Bold and the Beautiful didn't break the record in Daytime Emmy nominations, but the characters broke records of enormously redundant portions.

On B&B this week, Maya was the sun, orbited by the planets Forrester, Logan, Spencer, and even Douglas.

It takes a village to raise a child, and Los Angeles dwellers even get to weigh in on its conception. Babies are on board, and courtesy of well-meaning family members, so is the baggage.
