My Antonio: Recap for August 30th

On Sunday's episode of "My Antonio," Tully continued on her quest to win Antonio back, while he continued to present challenges to the women that would help him decide who to eliminate. The first of these challenges was a rigorous workout where the women had to run laps and climb a rope that was attached to a tree using nothing but their hands and upper body strength. I must admit I get confused everytime I watch this show because I cannot tell whether Antonio is looking for a soul mate or trying to put together a team of athletes.


Eventually Antonio gave the women a break, allowing them to play on a "Slip-n-Slide." That seemed appropriate considering that most of them are in their 30's and 40's. During this "recess" Tully hit her head, causing her to become ill. At that point play time was over and Antonio presented the women with their next challenge, to write a love letter for him. A love letter? This is Antonio Sabato, Jr.! Has he not had enough fan mail over the years to boost his ego? Apparently the women did not think so because they hurried back to the house and immediately starting pouring their hearts out, everyone except Tully that is, who was still recovering from her accident.


Later on Antonio read all of the letters then met with the women where he asked three of them to read what they had written out loud. He seemed particularly touched by what Tania, Christi, and Autumn had to say, even requesting dates with both Tania and Christi. I guess Autumn's letter was good, just not good enough to warrant a date. Tania's date came first, which was just a simple dinner, where she received several kisses on the cheek from Antonio. The next day Christi went on her date with Antonio, which was significantly more elaborate than the date he shared with Tania. Their date took place out on the ocean aboard a boat, where Christi became the first woman on the show to receive an actual kiss from Antonio, several kisses to be exact. However their romantic date was interrupted by Tully who became so jealous that she had someone drive her out to the boat on a wave runner. When she reached the boat she begged for some alone time with Antonio, so Christi allowed her to have ten minutes with him. Tully spent this time pleading with him to keep her on the show until she could spend enough time with him to get reacquainted. Once she left Antonio and Christi continued with their date as if nothing happened.


Later on at the elimination, Antonio did not waste any time revealing who was in danger of leaving. Ultimately it came down between Tully and Monique, a video game producer who had yet to spend any real time with Antonio. Antonio pulled them aside, allowing each one to plead their case for staying. And of course Antonio let Tully stay, after all she is helping to create controversy on the show. Once the elimination was out of the way both Christi and Tully wanted to talk to Antonio's mother. However, Christi was the only one allowed to speak to her because she refused to talk to Tully. Christi, acting as though she and Antonio were already in a serious relationship, attempted to explain her past as a Playboy model to Antonio's mother. However, this topic did not seem to phase her because she was too busy plotting to get rid of Tully, a task that she sought Christi's help in completing.

10 Ways General Hospital Could Improve

I doubt if I'm alone in saying that there is a lot wrong with General Hospital these days. While it continues to be one of my favorite soaps there are many changes I would make immediately if I had the power. Below is a list of the top ten suggestions I have for the way the show could improve. 1. The Claire/Sonny storyline needs to be dropped. It isn't working. Their conversations are boring and the context of their relationship is, well...icky. 2. Amp up Lisa's craziness. Despite my earlier distaste for a Robin/Patrick/Lisa triangle, the obsessed ex-girlfriend angle is working. It's interesting and very soapy. 3. Ronnie needs to be established as either a cop with a chip on his shoulder or someone who works for Franco. So far I haven't been able to tell whether Ronnie falls more on the side of good or bad because this character hasn't been clearly defined. 4. Brenda's life away from Port Charles and the people that surround it need to become an int...

Darkness and Light: GH

Like many General Hospital fans, I watch the show everyday in a blissful state of denial, never acknowledging the fact that Sonny and Jason are criminals. I find it easy to denounce Mac when he is urging Maxie to stay away from Spinelli, and I cheer for Diane whenever she keeps someone from the Corinthos organization from going to prison. However, as I watched the events of the week unfold, knowing that they were inevitably going to lead to Dante's shooting, my rose-colored glasses came off and I quickly snapped back to reality. I found myself repulsed watching Jason standing in the church during Josslyn's christening, knowing that he had just signed Dante's death certificate without giving it a second thought. I was even repulsed by Spinelli, whose detective work set everything into motion. Moreover, I was sickened by his cavalier attitude regarding Dante's imminent demise, and the fact that he never showed an ounce of remorse or regret until Maxie told him that Lulu h...

Crazy Loves Company: GH

If ever there was a storyline or a character over utilized it would be the saga of Lisa Niles. I am both mentally and physically exhausted by the constant back and forth between Lisa & Robin, Lisa & Patrick, Robin & Patrick, and Robin & everyone else. Now new doctor Terrell has been thrown into the mix as another man powerless against Lisa's charms. It is difficult enough at this point to watch Lisa create a path of destruction all by herself, but now that she has help I'm not sure I have the energy to watch any more of her schemes. Lisa had the potential to be an intriguing soap villain; and for a while it seemed like she may have had the potential to be a redeemable villain (see Miss Diagnosis ). However her crazy behavior as well as the motivation behind this behavior is too much to grasp, particularly for someone who supposedly passed her psych evaluation at Shady Brook. Moreover it doesn't make sense that she could talk someone like Terrell into helping...
