The View: Week of 2/17/2025

I think y'all are missing a key point with this Sunny/Jeopardy topic.  Sunny didn't lose at Jeopardy.  She lost at Celebrity Jeopardy...which is way more shameful as it's 1000x easier!

That tracks for Sunny. She has always struck me as the type to always raise her hand first in class.

There's nothing wrong with being smart or a quick thinker. Maybe it aggravated the others in class, so what? There was a super smart girl (Rita) all through my elementary school years. We accepted her for her.  

My maga brother is critical (jealous) of my degrees, and like so many of them put down science research and other highly educated people.  

I will not put down anyone for their hardwork to achieve in school, sacrifice of time to do that work, plus high debt to pay back.

Where the heck did Alyssa get her stat that trump is more popular than ever at 53%?  Fox News?  From everything I’ve heard he’s dropping like a rock.

Just an FYI, Rachel showed all the recent polls, all the big ones, and trump is underwater on every one, even outside the margin of error. Even with people who identify as R the approval % is dropping. And when questions were asked about specific issues it was surprising how bad his polling is. People are waking up.

Alyssa: I don't want anyone to ever look at me and say, 'You were a DEI hire.'

I think that's been said quite a few times about her here already actually, that they only auditioned conservatives when they hired her...🫢 I know from Sunny's face she wanted to say, "You WERE!" LOL

Someone needs to tell her that she was, maybe she'll stop looking so smug then, but I doubt it as she is positively giddy every time someone mentions the orange felonious one.

In my experience, I've often found the most educated people to be some of the most illogical people I've ever met.  Congrats on getting the degrees, but being educated does not make one intelligent.

I don't mind the kids that always raise their hands, though I often find they do so because they constantly need validation.  If anything, I feel sorry for them more then anything.  

Now when the topic of toxic female friendships came up, I was drinking some coffee.  When Ana said she didn't have toxic female friendships, I burst out laughing because she screams toxicity.  Plus, one would need to possess self awareness to fully grasp if they're in a toxic friendship.  I would probably be friends with Sara and no one else on the panel.

I think anyone hired for the conservative seat would be a DEI hire, but I also think most of the women on the panel are DEI hires as well...at least any hired over the last decade or so.

Joy was obviously lying or has blocked out anybody on the panel being “mean” to her. Do the initials MM mean anything to her?

Oh she remembers…. She corrected herself and said no one on the CURRENT panel has been mean to her.

I'm not sure I'd agree that anyone on the current panel (or from the past for that matter) other than Alyssa would really work under that label. Sunny and Ana tried out with a whole host of people before being picked because of positive audience feedback. And when they tried out, it wasn't like with Alyssa, for example, where only those of one particular identity (race, political view, whatever, etc.) were considered. There were a lot of very different people who tried out at the same time as them. Bevy Smith, Sherri, Stacey London, Padma Lakshmi, Cristela, Kelly Osborne (ugh), and more whose names I don't remember.

As JJ mentioned, I'm sure she already knows because they were only interviewing conservatives/Rep. at the time.
