Sara Haines: Redux

Unlike the Princess of Arizona, Sara also has a wicked sense of humor and enjoys being self deprecating.  

Agreed!! I howled right along with Sara the time she nearly called Ronna McDaniel Ronald McDonald. She loves to laugh and seems to be a happy person overall, and I'm glad that she is open about her issues with anxiety and panic attacks because I can relate. She's been doing a great job on The Chase as well. Of everyone on the panel, she’s the one I could easily see as a game show host (though Whoopi had a gig hosting Hollywood Squares in the late 1990s).

What I love about Sara is she's real. She doesn't try to play up any stereotypes. She's a beautiful girl but quickly admits she struggled with her love life. She comes across so sunny and fun, but she's open about mental health struggles. She expresses her political opinions as part of her job, but she is not tribal. She's one of my favorite people on TV. I always say she's the person I could see myself most friends with.

I think it's helped that she isn't in studio with Meghan who can be physically intimidating.  Sara can walk away after giving her views without the fear of being confronted by Meghan after the show.

I've liked Sara since she did pop news on Good Morning America weekend. She's very likeable. I love anybody with a sense of humor. 

[HerkyJerky]

And it doesn't hurt that she's from Iowa, also!  LOL

Sara's new tiktok video.

Flash dance

 

Her curls are adorable. It’s a shame women are encouraged to straighten their curls, as it supposedly looks “more professional”.

She has much more in common with Meghan's idol (Dolly Parton) than Meghan herself does. Sara's a bit like what you'd get if you made Dolly Parton talk politics. 

And Dolly owns her over the top look.  She’ll make fun of herself before anyone else gets the chance.  She likes to say it takes a lot of money to look so cheap. She certainly doesn’t snap, “Can’t a bitch just have a day?  Can’t she have fun?”.

Discouraged and encouraged are completely different.

I forgot to take a screenshot of sara's insta story yesterday so now it's gone. She was in the studio, standing in front of a framed photo of the ladies that said family. In the photo had Whoopi, Abby, Joy, Sunny, Meghun. I think this is the face she had in the photo.

LMAO! I can totally picture Sara doing this face.

I really, really love Sara these days.

She really is giving us her thoughts, and they are good ones. In the past she did not really do that - she vacillated and was never clear what she actually thought.

And I love her nice swipes at MM.

[catlover79]

Sara has really come into her own these past few months. I like how she expresses her opinions and then moves on. Like @RealHousewife, she's the panelist I can most see myself hanging out with. Sara and Ana.

[RealHousewife]

Sara is so adorable.

I don't like how the turtle neck looked on tv.

Yeah i don't dislike many of her outfits but i agree on this one.  Its actually a trigger for me.  I think its the bun.  Hair down, the curls, then i think it would stand out.  Not so severe.  Let it be known i have no clue what i am saying, i am not a professional in any sense of the word.  Sara just has an innate charm and she glows from the inside out.  I've watched her too from the early GMA days and I'm sorry Ben, but Sara and Dan Harris were the dream team of all dream teams. Flippn hysterical. And they could both keep pace with each other which was even funnier.  Ahhh but all things must come to pass....  that's my essay contribution on Who's Your Favorite View Co-Host and Why.  Maybe Facebook will make it a survey.

With these selfies is Sara mocking Meghan?  I approve 🙂

Denim is always risky when not jeans but that dress is cute.

Edited to add. I  have read the correction on the pic.  I thought that looked too thin to be denim. Either way it's cute.

I'm happy for Sara's debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. She's a better person than I am, because I'd totally rub it in everyone's (except Whoopi) face.

She's in that movie? Why have they not said anything about that?  I don't know when it opens but maybe they're waiting until closer to the premiere?  Unless that was today lol

[HerkyJerky]

Sara is SO CUTE in that clip!

[statsgirl]

One of the reasons that I like Sara is because she seems to have such fun when she does things, whether it's geeking out over a Marvel movie or making fun of the clothes they put her in. It's like she's inviting everyone watching her to have fun too.

Lol @ the first question. Yes, Sara has tons of experience working with someone who is just a jerk! 

The character traits Sara values most are all missing in Meghan. 

I’m not surprised Sara named Jed. 

[ifionlyknew]

To quote Carly Simon Meghan is so vain she probably thinks this is about her.  And she is probably right.

I think Sara is my girl crush. She’s just so cute and sweet. 

[Haleth]

I am just so impressed with how far Sara has grown since her return.  Gone is the mealy mouthed "let's all get along" girl of the past, replaced by a woman who can speak her mind with relevant, well formed remarks.  Honestly, I think she is best one on the panel these days.  She combines an ability to converse intelligently with a natural charm and likability.  I think in the past she was stunted by the strong personalities of the other hosts.  Being alone in the studio has given her the confidence to speak up.

She was also usually pregnant or post partum when she was on the show before. 

I agree she has really stepped up to the plate.  And she seems to be enjoying herself.  I love her laugh.

I agree. I'm enjoying Sara more than all of them. She's sweet, intelligent, and not a know-it-all. Meghan can be straight nasty, but the others are also strong personalities and could also be intimidating for different reasons. You've got the iconic egot Whoopi Goldberg. You've got Joy Behar, First Lady of the View, and then Sunny, a wicked sharp lawyer who never fathoms she could possibly be wrong. lol 

[catlover79]

Sara, moreso than any of the other regulars (with the possible exception of Ana), seems to be the embodiment of what you see is what you get. She seems comfortable in her own skin...very genuine. Sara has grown so much in this past year. I hope she continues to hold her own once everyone else rejoins her in the studio.

Can we change the name of this thread to "the voice of reason"? Sara is always calm, always makes sense and is consistent as the day is long. She's the anti-Meghan!!!

[Haleth]

How about “Sara Haines, Anti-Meghan”?

That's awesome. 🤣😂

[Kromm]

Anti-Meghan? It's funny on one level, because we know Meghan seems to hate Sara (and I think over time you've seen Sara stop being nice and arguably shade Meghan back), but occasionally Sara's Conservative upbringing slips back in. She's hardly Meghan's opposite on every issue (a lot, but not all). It's more about approach, not actual beliefs.

Not to mention personality!!!

I absolutely loved Sara's look in yesterday's show:

 

[RealHousewife]

^ I loved her look there too! Is it me, or is she getting even prettier?

[falltime]

It's been a few weeks since I checked Sara's social media. She is in California to film for The Chase, that is why her styling has been looking different.

Her face looks great but I've never been a fan of the fried, messy hair look.

I'm usually not a fan of that look myself, but I think it works for Sara.

That does explain it.  She's looked like a milllion bucks on The Chase, so I'm glad they're not just going home after those tapings. I actually loved how she looked on the day those photos above were taken. I thought part of her looking better on The Chase (aside from the better makeup and hair) was the color palate (solid whites, blacks, golds, etc) but now I think it's just solid colors, period. Thst Orangey-Peach works much better than I'd have assumed.
