Diva Picks - 11/16 to 11/20

WINNER and LOSER OF THE WEEK – After all Nicole has been through, she was still unbelievably able to get out of jail on bail, courtesy of her ex-schmuck Brady. Even so, could there be a worse loser than Nicole this week?

PERFORMER OF THE WEEK – Arianne Zuker. Three cheers for Alison Sweeney and James Scott who also gave great performances. But Arianne’s the one who took us on Nicole’s crazy ride, even if it was because the writers wouldn’t give us much of any other character viewpoint. Being slapped up by Sami, nearly attacked by EJ on the pier, whined at by Mia and having a tearjerking goodbye with Sydney, it was quite a tour de force for Nicole.

SCENE OF THE WEEK – You know it’s a good week on the show when there were so many good scenes that I can’t decide. I think the scene where Sami slaps the crap out of Nicole will be one of those great historic DAYS moments. The reveal with Nicole and EJ on the pier was excellent. Nicole’s goodbye to Sydney was heartbreaking. And of course, you have EJ grabbing Stefano in a chokehold. Lots of good moments to choose from this week.

ZINGER OF THE WEEK – Carly to Vivian: “Have you been in touch with Victor? Because I think he might like to bury the hatchet too. Right in your forehead!”
