I think I started watching around the time they got married, I have never been a regular watcher, I can either get up at 3 am or DVR and mostly I don't do either. I usually just see the last hour. She just seemed a bit more talkative in the past. I know she most definitely defers to Joe.

I mostly just watch the six o'clock hour (I'm on the west coast) but lately it looks like Mika just sits there demurely sipping her coffee and smiling/looking adoringly at Joe. Is that all she does? Has she been drugged? I'm getting a Stepford Wives vibe from her.

I get the feeling Whoopie thinks her job (maybe it is) is to chastise the others. It irritates when there is a good discussion going and she says they have to stop talking about it, obsessing about it because we just have to wait and see. She rules the table with an iron hand. And PLEASE stop with the "you all in the audience look so familiar to me." Please just stop. If the topic is beneath her, she looks at the audience, makes a bored face and rolls her eyes. Rude. I wonder what her line will be after Jan. 20 when things will have gone to hell. Funny that she refuses to say his name but says we have to give him the benefit of the doubt "because we don't know what is going to happen." What's the saying? "The best prediction of future behavior is past behavior."

I 100% agree with Ana. Did I catch this, did Alyssa also throw up her hands and laugh and say "I'm not panicking!" Of course you're not. Please. They are ALL in a privileged class but at last Ana acknowledges it. Sara complaining because she is not seeing enough of Biden "out there." Once again, proving that Biden cannot do anything right. I wonder what this program is going to be like after January 20.

This. Quite possibly Biden sees the handwriting on the wall. He may see that all hell is going to break loose after January 20. Maybe some members of the media and the Democratic party need to think about this and make their own plans. I'm expecting the worst. I listened to all the Dem speeches before the election that told us we would be in dire straits if he got back in. I don't need to wait and see. Trump is showing us every day by appointing thugs into high government positions.

I agree about the dad. Also bugged me how the wife and daughter catered to him.

Sunny looks so miserable sitting next to Alyssa and I don't blame her. She's a bit of a fraud as far as I am concerned. Alyssa is in the "let's wait and see if he will be presidential" camp. Hmmm ... we lived through four years of "waiting for him to be presidential." Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Why does Whoopi start the show with "You all look so familiar" to the audience. I don't get it. They don't tape more than one show a day, do these people come back day after day?

I also wish the Whoopi would not interrupt with her let's wait and see/eat popcorn line. I just see the atmosphere on The View becoming more contentious as time goes on. Unlike Whoopi and Sara, we are just seeing a glimpse of what is coming and I for one am not expecting rainbows and ponies after January 20. Whoopi following Ronan's segment - take a deep breath and maybe make a phone call! Who is she trying to kid? Who would you call and if you did, you are going to get automated voicemail. Good luck with that.

Alyssa is bugging the H out of me daily. I can't wait until tomorrow when the discussion brings up the news today that the proposed Secretary of Education is a defendant in a sexual abuse lawsuit regarding WWE. A fight announcer was accused of sexually abusing minor children, boys who were working as "ring boys" during fights. She and her husband turned a blind eye, or so the accusation goes. Apparently being a sexual deviant is a common thread among trump's cabinet picks. Takes one to know one, I guess. Alyssa has turned true MAGA and it will be hard for her to disguise it as times goes on. I do not know how Sunny can stand to sit next to her.

I wonder who all these people are that Alyssa knows for fact are living hand to mouth and for that reason were willing to vote for a convicted felon, rapist, insurrection leader? I mean, she makes it sound like OVERWHELMING numbers. Once again as we get close to Thanksgiving and the holidays, news reports are letting us know that record travel is expected, airports will be jammed. Shopping season is here! Black Friday sales! Alyssa is toeing the Republican party line now. It did not take long. Sara is so naive, still thinking that 45/47 is going to step up and do the right thing. Honey, it is not going to happen. We see it every day. He told us what was coming. And here it is.

I think I'll be skipping the next Bachelor. I am not excited by the guy (forget his name) and seeing the previews of the girls cat-fighting was boring. I said to my husband, ooh I wonder if they are gonna get a trip to Italy?! Ha ha, Disney World with all the kids and grandkids. That could be a real test of the relationship! Well, Disney owns ABC, so ... Joan's son looked kind of like as asshole to me. Re him saying the kids and grandkids are everything to her (she gives her all), visiting them every day -- maybe he agrees with the current VP-elect who believes the purpose of post-menopausal women is to help raise grandkids.

I don't know, I am retired and would love the idea of living in a city where I could walk to restaurants, bars, bookstores, plays, etc. Of course I would want to live in a place that was nice, and I know that would take quite a bit of $$$ in NYC.

I remarried (after divorce) when I was 52. My husband and I were both 52. I had friends, but I wanted to be part of a couple. It's just different. Some people are fine being alone and that's ok too.

Of all the panel, I feel that Ana is the one I agree with the most - her sit back and watch it burn down attitude. I think that Sunny is having a really hard time accepting the situation, like a lot of people are. I sometimes wonder if she is harboring some guilt feelings because they must have played her asking Kamala "would you do anything different than Biden" at least a million times. Alyssa didn't take long to jump back into full Republican mode. Sara tends to look at the world through her rose-colored glasses, but as she said she has young children and has to hold herself together. Maybe she is falling apart on the inside.
