While there's been plenty of those types of interviews, in this case I think they gave Mace plenty of opportunity to talk and answer questions. I also appreciated Whoopi pushing back when she said dems want to abort up to the 9 month. And her asking follow up questions when she tried to side swipe Whoopi's push back.

I think Sunny calling Nikki Haley unqualified really triggered Alyssa. Alyssa spent the first 2 segments trying to over talk everyone in defense of Nikki Haley. Which makes me think Sunny might have been intentionally triggering her 🙂

I was surprised how little Cam was involved in the campaign to vote out Izzie in this episode. She was his target and he boasted l how he was going to send her home in the pig suit. But this episode it’s Cory leading the charge to evict Izzie and we don’t even get to see Cam’s goodbye message….hmmmmm

I was thinking of it being the latter. Whoopi not really one for stunts. But she is one to blurt out inappropriate stuff 🙂 Everyone appeared to be genuinely stunned by the question.

No mention. Likely due to the writer/actors strike. Similar to Cedric the Entertainer yesterday. They did not mention his sitcom, The Neighborhood. Until the strike is over, pretty much any actor we see on the View will be promoting non-acting projects.

Nowadays when people are missing from a show with no explanation, I assume they tested positive for covid. I liked Brittany’s collection but it didn’t look much different from what she’s done all season. Bishme and Laurence at least tried to stretch or elevate out side their typical looks.

I didn't care how she tried to go after Sunny saying, "wouldn't you want all kids to have the same opportunity for private school education that your kids had?" That position is basically abandoning the kids who go to public schools. The response to that questions, is that I would want children who go to public schools to get just as quality of education as those who go to private.

Me too. But I also thought that pimp was the exact look Bishme was going for. Pimps are the original peacocks.

Alyssa had a good point on the LIzzo discussion. I too read the allegations. At a minimum she needs to take responsibility as her role as a boss/employer. Sounds like she treated her dancers like they were part of her friend group. So while it's cool to take your friends to a strip club and encourage ratchet behavior. You just can't do that with your employees. As others have said, because they need guests 😉. He's the resident TV scientist and was kinda relevant in the discussion on UFOs. He was also cleared of changes against him.

I grew to love the wacky roommate. I started to look forward to see what black hairstyle she would rock next. The hairstylist earned their paycheck 😀 Maybe give it another episode or 2. It started out slow for me too, but by the end I was all in.

The problem is the implication that any slave benefited from slavery. The question to ask is why was this included in the curriculum? What's to gain from expressly stating that slaves developed skills that could in some cases be used for their personal benefit? It feels to some that it's to minimize the horror of slavery. And I've read the curriculum standards and that didn't change my mind on this issue. The wording needs to be changed. Sarah was on point on this issue. Africans that came here already had blacksmithing, farming, etc. skills. They were not taught everything they know through slavery.

He reminds me of a cross between the lead singer from Color Me Bad and the tall dude from the Backstreet Boys

Black Caribbeans are also descendants of slavery. Slavery occurred throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. All are part of the trans Atlantic slave trade. African-American is not an offensive term. It’s fine to use.

No need to be confused. Whoopi prefers Black over African- American. That is her right to chose how she would like to be referred. It's not an uncommon position among Black or African-Americans. I believe all of the ladies in the movie refer to themselves as Asian or Asian American. So it was appropriate for Whoopi to do so also. But if the ladies preferred to be referenced by their family's country of origin (Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean American etc) that should be respected as well.

I think they are having a hard time finding guests willing to cross the writer's picket lines. So they are likely purposely not announcing guests beforehand so that they don't pressured not to attend.

Visually disagreeing with someone (the tea sipping, eyebrow raising, etc) is not a personal attack nor is it a response to a perceived personal attack in my view. It's just a reaction. Allyssa evoking Barbara Walters to me was more of a personal attack than whatever Sunny said towards her. The closest I've seen Sunny get to the personal attack line was actually her comments towards Ana, when she basically said. How can you still be a republican after XYZ things? Ana was annoyed, but they are still friends.

Allyssa looked very uncomfortable while Sunny was talking about not taking things personal. For the most part, I agree that Sunny generally doesn't take things personal. She might make faces, and do looks, but she's reacting to what's being said. Specifically towards Allyssa, you don't see Sunny reacting to her negatively on any of the fluffy topics. But she does try to hold to task on the topics she's feels strongly about. But there are always people who think that a person challenging or disagreeing with them is a personal attack.

I thought her outfit looked like a non conventional materials challenge that she made in the workroom. Same old leotard look she wears every week. I need Michelle visage to call her out on it soon.

I do think they are both making an effort to at least appear like the get along. I appreciate the effort ladies! Hope it lasts

Alyssa is fine...She's smart, but also very image conscious. I mean... PUPPIES!... who can hate someone with puppies?. My cynical self thinks she might be far more calculating than her nice girl image portrays. And that may be what people are picking up on with any perceived distance with the other cohosts.

I enjoyed the episode more than I thought. The behind the scenes stories were interesting. The host was good as well. She can definitely replace Kevin Frazier for me. I only wished they would have just let Lindsey leave for good when she stomped off. She’s not right mentally and listening to her trash MTS while he wasn’t there to defend himself was not entertaining. I was curious as to what Steve said about her that had her so mad. I don’t remember him talking much about her on the show. But I thought I heard her say Steve was the reason why people came for her on social media.

I think the Today show is under the news division of NBC. Which isn't affected by the strike. And the View is in the entertainment division similar to Jimmie Kimmel. The mother of AJ Owens broke my heart.

Wasn't a fan of the Sunny/Alyssa fight. They both owe each other an apology. Sunny started with a good point. Alyssa worked very closely with Pence. So for her to deflect from Joy's question and say she needs to hear more from him, was worthy of some push back. I was fine with Sunny continuing to speak while Alyssa threw a tantrum, but what she was saying wasn't necessarily that relevant or a strong argument, so it came across petty. Hated Alyssa playing the victim. She's making it personal! and invoking Barbara Walters. Her tantrum was unprofessional and shades of MM. What Sunny said about her, she's said probably a dozen times before on the show. Made me wonder if they got into it during the pre-show meeting which is why Sunny came out with the random Pence notes on her card. But I mostly fear that the powers that be liked the headlines it brought and will encourage the "feud" to continue.

Agreed. They let him ramble on quite a bit uninterrupted. Although they did interrupt him to to try to get the substance of his answers and challenge some of his talking points. Otherwise they might as well just let him give a speech. That talking nonstop without a breath on multiple topics is a well known tactic to not be challenged. And I definitely didn't think they were intimidating him by Whoopi standing to Sunny. I thought it was good for him to engage them specifically. Some might not like Sunny's approach, but I also don't want to hear Alissa talk about Biden's age/mental sharpness given her previous employer. Unless maybe if she acknowledges that previous employment as a factor in her opinion.

It's not the sole support for her argument. She also brought up misogyny (a topic that is brought up regularly on this show) During the Pence vs Harris discussion she brought up several of VP Harris's accomplishments as she has several time in the past. It irks me that Sunny gets criticized about bringing up race. But there's little/no criticism when all of the panelists bring up misogyny regularly.
