They don't pay CEOs very well in Genoa City, do they?

Take David Chow - please. He is the co-CEO of Jabot Cosmetics and can't even make a dent in his gambling debt. How much do you think the CEO of Revlon makes? Let's be conservative and guess one million a year. That works out to about 38 thousand dollars every two weeks. I don't know how much it costs to live at the Genoa City athletic club or how much his car payments are, but I hope it's far less than 76K a month.

Granted the guy is obviously a gold digging, scheming liar who's after Nikki for her money, but still. First he was a big corporate executive at Granville global who migrated to campaign management and then became a bigwig with Clear Springs. Now he's co-CEO of Jabot and still doesn't even have pocket change. Meanwhile people who work at coffee shops are living the high life in pricey condos.

Nicholas was also a co-CEO, at Newman Enterprises, and doesn't have enough money to fix the electricity in the warehouse he bought by borrowing against his trust fund. And he doesn't even pay rent. Where did his paychecks go? Remind me never to take a job in this town, unless it's working at the coffee shop.

Who else wants to see a DNA test performed on Adam to prove he's Victor and Hope's son? This guy has neither the warmth nor depth of Hope, nor the presence or forcefulness of Victor. I appreciate the conflict the character brings to the show but he's about as interesting as un-buttered toast so far. He looks like he's about Kevin and Daniel's age and he's hitting on Phyllis like he's one of the big boys. Maybe they should have gone for someone a little older.

He's certainly the opposite of his alleged father when it comes to women. Not that Victor can hit on women twice his age since they'd all be dead. But Victor only goes for women who are young enough to be his daughter and Sabrina seems to be his next conquest. They, too, are total opposites. Primarily because she enunciates so clearly. Forget about her being his art consultant, maybe she can become his translator.

Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and Sabrina translates "Victor says he'd like to take us out to dinner." Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and Sabrina translates "Victor says his pants are too tight. Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and Sabrina translates "Oh, sorry, Victor says his CLIENTS are RIGHT. Sometimes even I have trouble."

And where exactly is this priceless art collection Victor is said to possess? Sabrina had to go to Newman Enterprises to see it. I hope there's a vault or something there. The way people pop in and out of that place with security nowhere to be found I'd think half the Monets and DiVincis would have been swiped by now.

At least Adam is calling his siblings out on their work ethic. Neither of them spent a day in college and spend most of their time drinking coffee or having sex in the break room. Of course they both went from being five years old to 18 in about a week so it's not exactly their fault. The more time Adam spends in Genoa City the more likely he is to wind up the same as them. The lure of the break room seems impossible to resist. More
