MMM looks like Cindy's head on John's body in a dress.

I think Janelle and Mariah add the "healthy" food to what they normally eat.

Whose arms & legs are depicted in the cartoon? Certainly not Meghan's.

I waited patiently to hear what Meghan would have to say about Joy, but then Sunny burst in and didn't let MMM finish reading her card, so we don't know what she would have said about Joy. Sunny did a lot of interrupting today and the over-talking is what makes people turn off the show.

Although Whoopi may have seen JFK's campaign inauguration speeches on TV at 5, seeing them repeated several times over the past 57 years is probably what set them in her memory.

David Tennant is a Scottish actor who typically shows up on PBS, in things like Broadchurch, Gracepoint, Blackpool & Dr. Who, but I barely recognized him because he looked 30-something in the bday clip instead of 47; maybe he gave up smoking & got some facial rejuvenation. He is now in HBO's "Camping" with Jennifer Garner, so has been doing the rounds of talkshows and was probably appearing on another show in the studio on Joy's bday.

One difference is that Abby is always defending Trump no matter what he does, but Meghan does not.

And in her mind she thinks she looks fit and 50 lbs lighter.

I'm not a fan of the Irwins and was creeped-out by bats until a golf-ball-sized hailstorm when migrating brown bats all took cover on the rock walls of the local river. ~100 were all resting/sleeping mid-afternoon at eye height so I could look at them from ~2' away and they'd open one eye, see we were doing no harm and go back to sleep. They looked like cute little deer mice with wings.

Joy was the only one on the View when Murphy Brown went off the air. Whoopi didn't start until 2005, but yes, she is the backstabber.

It is very distracting. Her hair looks like a cheap Dynel wig, her lips look like a pair of squirming earthworms, and her fake eyelashes remind me of Elsie the Cow's - is that the effect she is going for? When there are bald guys with shiny heads on TV, makeup runs in to powder them during commercial breaks so the camera isn't bombarded with reflections.

What if one of Kate & Toby's embryos is implanted in someone else (by mistake or a surrogate who runs off) and "Her" is the resulting offspring that is found 18 years later, by Tess the social worker who encourages "Her" to look for her bioparents, not expecting they are Tess' aunt & uncle. Is Kate even alive in the future or did she die in her selfish quest for a baby to fill her emptiness? Kate was nowhere in sight and Toby appeared to be in a hotel room with no comforts of home.

I thought Beth was being annoying until she told Kevin that she was trying to protect HIM from being hurt by her cousin. I had assumed she was going overboard with prudishness and trying to protect her cousin. Mouth-breather Rebecca and St. Jack are FFwd material for me. Note to makeup people - if you want Jack to look 20 you have to do something to his creased and slack lower face, which still looks 40. When they make Rebecca ~60, they paint on fake-looking forehead wrinkles, add realistic jowls, but ruin the effect by leaving her dewy cheeks high and plump like a 30-something's. We shouldn't have to rely on clothes and newsreels to guess what decade they are supposed to be playing. And get rid of that stupid beret! I don't want to see selfish Kate have a string of miscarriages or a kid she & Toby are incapable of raising. They need to deal with their own problems first and pay more attention to their dog. Kate seems to want a kid to fill her emptiness without regard for the baby, if there is one, that is likely to be born premature w/problems and have its unhealthy parents die before it graduates from high school. Where is the entertainment value in that?

I got the impression that Avenatti is saving the 3rd woman's evidence for the big reveal since he would not answer Abby's question.

Sunny looks like the Cowardly Lion in her orange ringlets that shake whenever she talks. Exactly. 5 brings chaos when you have a moderator who cannot moderate.

I totally agree with this. She doesn't listen and is so fixed on her own views that she didn't notice that the entire rest of her grade 7 class did not share her views. Tommia did a great job of explaining how she supports the military (hand on heart) who make it possible for Americans to peacefully protest. It was ironic that Abby preceded her question with something like: "it is important that we listen to people with different opinions" and then proceeded NOT to listen, as usual.

And if kids were sitting around watching TV on Yom Kippur, would they really be watching The View, where the average age of the hosts is ~55?

And a very pissy tone of voice, as if her opinion is the only one that is relevant. She doesn't screech like Meghan but increases her volume while filibustering so her cohosts cannot participate in a discussion.

The ladies failed to mention that McEnroe was kicked out of the Australian Open for bad behaviour. Patrick Mouratoglou has admitted that he was coaching Serena Williams from the stands; it is grounds for a code violation. Carlos Ramos gave a code violation — which is a warning, but then Serena flipped out when she got her second code violation for breaking her racket after losing the seventh game of the second set cost her a point. Ramos was just following the written rules of the game. Serena is the thief - she stole Naomi Osaka's spotlight!

Abby seems to have gone to the same filibuster-training school as Meghan & Jed. When she gets the floor she keeps talking, usually repeating herself when it is clear others are trying to participate in what is supposed to be a conversation, not a monologue. If MMM gets her own show, it wouldn't last long, so we'd be rid of her.

Well there was that Pepsi ad with Kendall Jenner that was pulled, but I agree, Nike knows what they are doing. I cannot wear Nikes because the high point of their arches is about an inch too far forward for my feet. Did Abby fall in a vat of fake tanner and have wriggly earthworms installed in her lips? Today's harsh hairstyle didn't do her any favours. Will they have her in tight braids tomorrow?

It was probably easier for her to keep it together being angry; it helps focus the emotions.

Meghan's older sister Sidney is her dad's real kid (by his first wife), but she's a Democrat, which is probably why Meghan doesn't think of her as part of the family, though her father appreciated Sidney's views on things and encouraged nonpartisanship, something Meghan should learn to do.

It will be interesting to see how Meghan behaves with Abby there. Abby has two brothers in white naval uniforms and two adopted little sisters, and doesn't need to read blue cards to get her point across. I wonder if Sunny was acting more assertive and less coy and cutesy than usual because Abby was so confident and mature. I didn't hear Abby say that her father was tight with Putin, just that he was US Ambassador to Russia and that he was not always on the same page as Trump.

For this kind of pain, empathy and sympathy from others to make Meghan a better, more understanding person, someone will need to spell it out for her on a blue card.
