This should be a boilerplate we can just copy and paste. "Here's the thing..."

Captain Kerry probably won't have an educated opinion until after the season is over and he watches the shows. Hope it's not too late.

But, if chef had had some help, he may not have had to serve cold food. And Jill's interference caused the chef to create foods not planned for when they went over the primary's/guests requests. I think Jill needs to pitch in $10K. Aside from the fact that the crew had to tolerate Jill, the fact is that when your dinner comes out cold, you don't get a huge tip. Jill's MEDDLING was the "contribution" that caused many of the kitchen problems.

Her "tone" does MORE than baffle me. Still, I'm not as tired of her as I am of Whoopi...but it's getting close.

As an atheist for the past 59 years ... but a devout and happy Catholic the first 25, all "Catholic upbringing" isn't CRAZY. Mine: Non-practicing Episcopalian father. Strict, devout Catholic mother...12 years of Catholic school...and still I was taught to respect others' beliefs. In respecting, one can't help but understand how others might view mine. What I've noticed is that there are many fears and superstitions brought from "the old country" that Catholics as young as Sunny seem to believe and carry with them. Sunny mixes a lot of her superstitions with her faith. She seems to think all Catholics should believe as she does. They don't. I'm always disappointed in the abortion discussions where she says her strong stance on that topic is "because I'm Cath-o-lic." Apparently she thinks that's enough. Is it the only tenet she uses to support an opinion? Does she never go against her church's teaching on anything else...like IVF? It's time that she gives an honest opinion--and doesn't shirk the responsibility of her opinion...like many "Cafeteria Catholics."

I agree, GHScorpios... Copied/pasted from the 'net. I'm in Arizona, so I want readers to take particular notice of the last sentence. We hear them every summer and see their interesting little empty shells stuck on trees, etc. "Periodic cicadas, however, do synchronize their emerging, so every 10–17 years depending on the species, large groups (broods) of cicadas emerge at the same time. In the Northeastern United States, Brood X emerged during the summer of 2021. In Arizona, annual cicadas are more common."

So typical. Thanks, HJ.

I think about that occasionally, but an hour a day of "The View" is sometimes a bit too much. Here's the thing, if Whoopi is retired, I could change my mind.

WHAT? Whoopi "here's the thing" missed a point?

Until last night on WWHL, I had never considered Amanda beautiful. She looked fabulous...and was happy and fun.

Has there been any information on the "cast" on Sunny's right hand. The padding is starting to look dirty.

What is that BORING and REPETITIVE "joke" that Whoopi tells way too often? It's only funny to the audience who is seated through a second show. Most comedians don't repeat the same stale stuff over and over. Apparently Whoopi thinks it's clever. From the 'net: "The View" is taped in New York City on weekday mornings. On some days they also tape a second show in the afternoon.

I'll have to watch again. I remember that Whoopi and Sunny put on embarrassing "know it all" performances. I don't recall Joy's being negative.

Conversant is one thing; she should pick up a copy of "Etiquette for Dummies."

Sunny probably has one source, where the author (most likely) has several he used and some he did not. He seems intelligent and insightful. Haven't watched today's show yet, but a few months ago I commented to a friend (a BIG Whoopi fan; I'm not)...that Whoopi seemed to have lost weight, gained new fashion "likes," and seemed to have a much better attitude. I wondered if she was on a new medication--maybe a mood elevator. She said she hadn't noticed. This was a bit before Ozempic fever.

Overbearing Sunny stole others' time with her "I know better" facts and rude confrontation. Unnecessary, unprofessional, and not a good look. Mr. Hughes was a guest on "our" show and I wanted to hear from him. The "I know Bernice," name-dropping was ineffectual showing off. I didn't know anything about the author...and I still don't. Although he probably didn't present any information he planned, I thought he did a good job of defense--against someone who was ticked off and loaded for bear.

I've seen a few online photos (over the years) of people taking their capybaras shopping at WalMart. Check online you'll see some very interesting stuff. They're apparently friendly, good with humans and other animals.

DITTO !!! The "camaradarie" of the SAFE chefs was bugging me when the three contestants were competing to stay. Wasn't it stressful enough? They didn't need their fellow chefs overseeing them--trying to get airtime by making annoying/ inane comments. WHEW! So glad it happened. I worried that Production selected him and would keep him around a few weeks for "Good TV."

I'm surprised Sunny would use this drug. I read that she had Crohn's disease ... which is often the reason for unexpected/unwanted weight loss.

well, she is Whoopi's favorite topic, so not surprised Quiet, sweet Sara is VERY stealth-strategic.

Isn't it sad-ish? Still, she was born/raised in New York and (probably) at the time all her close relatives were still alive and (maybe) living with her. L.A. would have required moving EVERYONE. A female in my social circle 1960s to late 80s was very talented and accomplished, yet she found it necessary to brag about herself and embellish her "resume." Another in our group said, "A discussion with (insert her name here) is always another episode of 'Can You Top This'." NOTE: Can You Top This? was an audience-participation show, created by veteran vaudeville comedian "Senator" Edward Ford. During a joke-swapping session at a New York theatrical club, Ford conceived of a radio show where comedians would try to top each other. Can You Top This? debuted on WOR/New York in 1940.

I wondered about that, too. I've seen pictures of her before, and her hair was always pouffed up, but the hair on the show was exceptionally high, and IMO not really attractive. DEFINITELY not attractive. Bizarre way to get attention? Her face is so pretty but that hair is a Dumb Distraction. I think people like Theresa take advantage of gullible or superstitious others...but if she wants to be taken seriously, LOOSE THE LOOK.

Nothing. People would just have someone new to complain about. Not really. For me, I'd think, "Hmmm...does this mean there IS a god?"

I agree with this. We know that Joy and Whoopi are genuine friends. Joy and Sunny go shopping together. Sara and Alyssa have done some couple things with their husbands. And Ana seems to have softened towards Alyssa. There doesn't seem to be tension at the table the way there was when MM was there. I remember watching those shows and being happy when MM didn't walk out. She really brought the show down. I think there's still tension between Sunny and Alyssa (jealousy on Sunny's part). Sunny may be an attorney (we hear it daily), but Alyssa's smarts and government experience allow her to hold her own. She continues to get spots on the political shows to give her opinion. Sunny doesn't. The show just featured Alyssa's interview/photo in the New York Times. Has Sunny had the same?

Apparently she can't "afford" to retire because she continues to support her entire family. Maybe when she's at work they don't bother her for help, handouts, jobs, etc. I've read that the top brass at Disney LOVE her, so she's not goin' anywhere.
