The next thing for Abby's coach to work on is introductions and logical transitions. Coming back from commercial, she led with "I understand that you are a Hindu, what are your thoughts on the Green New Deal?" Not exactly sure of the connection between the two...

Colton just brought Hannah B(east) home and I found out that, wait for it, family is everything to him! Such a bold pronouncement! I think next we may find out that water is wet, or Denver is above sea level. Every time I hear someone trot out the old family is important line, I have to wonder what people with less than ideal familial relationships would say. I guess those are the folks who don't ever say anything about family. To be honest, it feels like it's a line that every contestant has to read off a cue card at some time, even if Mom was making dreamcatchers with her cellies (Hey Demi!) Should I ever find myself on the Bachelor as a 40+ cat lady, I would not be able to commit to a decent line reading. I love my family, but I can't say they are everything to me. Hmm, seeing that in writing seems pretty harsh, but it's true.

Meghan's desperate attempt to remind people about her "political analyst" job the night before was comical. I love how the hosts breezed right past her. On a more pleasant note, Meghan looks great in the blue she was wearing today. You know, blue like Democrats, which means she will never wear it again.

I really like how Sunny has pulled her outfit out of Mrs. Brady's closet for today's show.

Meghan has two gears when it comes to subjects: complete know it all (typically courtesy of his husband's blue cards or growing up as John McCain's daughter on the campaign trail and living in middle America, Arizona) or doesn't give one iota about it and won't shut up about how SHE HAS NEVER BEEN PREGNANT or DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS! Her complete misunderstand of toxic masculinity would be funny if it wasn't so sad that there are so many people out there like her with this faulty belief. It does a disservice to men and women.

Meghan was so riled up reading her husband's talking points that her ears looked like they had 3rd degree sunburn. I enjoy seeing the physical signs of her lunacy.

Every time they show producer Brian (?), I feel like Miles from Murphy Brown has popped up on my screen. But we learned this year, Miles didn't last very long on the View.

I just started watching On Demand, which is terrible because you can't FF commercials. All I can say is there is so much gazing off into the distance by the bachelorettes. I don't believe I have ever looked out of a window like these ladies do. Then again, I'm not looking out the window for a fame hungry former football player.

Terry Crewes is a national treasure. He has amazing self-awareness, but more importantly, he worked hard to change his mindset and his behaviors. I would have definitely enjoyed another segment, especially after reading about what a mess the cooking segment was. I thought Megan was dressed very well today. She's got great legs, and I found that dress style flattering. I wish she could break her pencil skirt and tucked in blouse habit because it does nothing for her. (And I am very qualified to judge fashion as I sit on the sofa wearing my 12 year old jeans and cat socks, all covered in cat hair.) Whoopi needs to lose her job as the teleprompter reader because she just doesn't give a shit and reads the copy in such a manner. I thought she was having a stroke as she was struggling through the R. Kelly disclaimer.

I'm clearing out my DVR and just got to hear that per Abby, there's "an astigmatism towards people who don't want to have kids." I don't want to have kids, so I'm wondering if Lasik will clear that right up for me. And I am SO sick of Abby always telling us how great Megan is, how much Megan knows her, blah blah blah. It feels like Abby was brought aboard to convince us that Megan isn't the shrill and obnoxious harpy that she shows herself to be everyday. Megan McCain is literally the worst. The GD worst.

Of all the things on this show, I can't believe I'm responding to the controversy over the name Shad :) While some might not be the biggest fans of the name, it was given to him by his mom, HIS MOM WHO WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY HIS FATHER. That right there is a good reason to keep the name. It's also a fish. Thanks Wikipedia! This show has been my Xmas binge, and I am not looking foward to having to wait for the last two episodes!

I think you can tell from my screen name that I am a hard core cat lady. Megan, on behalf of all cat lovers and animal lovers who aren't terrible enough to declare their hatred of an entire species, suck it. Suck it hard. Cats are very good judges of character, which could explain why you don't like them. Never let Whoopi film two shows in one day! She was totally loopy. I especially enjoyed hearing that I would like Welcome to Marwan b/c it would make me feel "interesting." At least this is the last day of the visual assault of her holiday sweaters!

I am 100% hate watching this for all of Megan's childish outbursts. So far today we have had audible huffing, eye rolling, and completely illogical thinking, and that's only after the first segment. I think that everyone except Abby has reached their breaking point with Lil Miss I'M A CAPITALIST! I don't believe she has ever known the fear of not having health insurance while dealing with a pre-existing condition (waving to all of those folks that join me in this ever growing group.) She has the benefit of having Daddy's safety net catch her big behind should she ever stumble. She has absolutely no sense of her privilege, nor any concept of how her family (including her former drug addict mother who set up her coworkers to take the fall) set her up with the life that she has. Hmm, apparently I have a lot of feelings about her... On a less rageful tip, I love reading everyone's comments! I believe that's why I still watch this conversational car wreck.

I am so distracted by Megan's mascara spiders dusting her cheeks as she reads her husband's blue card bullet points. And her defense to Sunny's point about 27% of the Republicans mattering more because "we vote better" blah blah blah "electoral college" had me seeing red. Like the bright red of the shiny applique on her baked potato foil skirt. Megan is the f'ing worst. Take 2019 and write the book about your dad. You seemed like a much nicer person when you were an "author."

I wonder if the more low key Whole Foods promotion is due to its Amazon ownership. I wouldn't be surprised if now being under the Bezos umbrella means that they don't need/want to buy the placement like they did in the past. But I know absolutely nothing about the workings of bizness. That tomato cobbler was ill served by grape tomatoes, like someone above mentioned. You need a tomato with less skin per square inch of tomatoey goodness. That chef seemed like a nice person, and she had the cutest sprinkle of freckles on her nose, but she deserved to go home. Brian Malarky's glowing white chompers scared me in his commercial.

Today is the day I come out of the dark and stop lurking! When I got in front of my TV this evening, one of my first thoughts was "ooooh, @wonderwuman73 was at The View today!!" We are all so lucky to get a behind the scenes view (ha!) of today's episode courtesy of WW! Since it all comes back to Meghan's dad, I think he would be ashamed of how she handled herself today. The pouting, eye rolling, huffing and puffing makes her look like a petulant and surly teenager. Plus, she now owes me for the glass that broke in my living room when she hit her upper octave at the end of the first segment. She needs to move on because she is doing herself no favors staying on this show and behaving as she does.
