I felt terrible for poor Tanner tonight. What happened to him? It's like he couldn't even hear the music, he was so off. I liked him best when he sang She's Always a Woman with Lennon. While I didn't love Ruby's live song yesterday, she's my pick to go all the way.

Hands down, Ruby is my favorite. I loved, loved, LOVED her rendition of Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time. I wish she recorded it as a single so I could hear the song in it's entirety!

Well, wonders DO cease, because Monday may have been live, but today (Wednesday) was pre-recorded. Wonder if that means tomorrow and Friday will also be taped.

A Monday show today that was actually LIVE. Wonders never cease.

Ana embarrassed herself today when she said loved The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel sooooo much and that she was rewatching it, and then proceeds to say that she was waiting for Midge to sleep with Lenny Bruce. Can't be too much of a fan if you didn't know that they DID sleep together last season.

BY THE WAY, Hoda has said "By the way" 5 times in the first 17 minutes of the Hoda and Jenna show. She says it over and over and over again. It's not necessarily a bad expression, but her overuse of the expression drives me insane. She does this every.single.day on both the 7-9 hour, and the Hoda and Jenna show.

Why is Whoopi always eating on the show, even when they're not doing a food segment? Can't she make it an hour without food? Or, if not, can't she eat during the commercials? There's no excuse for a mouth full of food when coming back from a commercial.

I deliberately watch it alone (well, husband was sleeping next to me). I wanted to ugly cry without being judged.

I haven't sobbed this much in a very, very long time. Well done.

Top Pet Peeves: 1)Jenna is a TERRIBLE singer, and yet she thinks she's good. Someone really needs to tell her. Today she sang a line from an Adele song and said to Hoda, "Does that sound good?" Hoda just smiled, but didn't answer. Hoda, just tell her the truth! 2)Most of the Today Show people are absolute PIGS when doing the cooking segments. It's like they've haven't eaten in days. They are all bad, but Hoda is the worst! Then she cleans her teeth with her tongue (through a closed mouth). I absolutely can't stand it. Jenna pretends to be participating in the segment, but if you watch her eyes, all she does is keep staring at the food that she's already sampled. And then she takes another bite. Hoda and Jenna with popcorn? They just shovel it into their mouths, barely coming up for air. Probably the ONLY thing I was grateful for during the worst of Covid, was that they stopped with all the in-studio cooking segments, and I didn't have to see them eat.
