RogerFromOhio July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Lets interrupt an "interesting" discussion with an advertisement for cheesecake ..... because discussing the wrong statements of a Presidential Candidate is much less important than cheesecake You may think Huckabee has the Right to say what he wants Raven.... but everyone else has the Right to criticize him..... and if someone is offended by him using the Holocaust to make a political point... they have the Right to demand an apology...... I dont know why she wants to silence the critics but not the offender Im glad Rosie called her out when she said Huckabee was just speaking the truth 6 Link to comment
NextIteration July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) They are reading this board and trying to piss us off with the chewing on camera and talking with their mouths full, I'm convinced. ;) They shouldn't have bothered with the Hucksterbee conversation at all - I cannot believe the insensitivity of Raven and her self-righteousness cutting Michelle off. Also, Nicolle came this close >< to using the Neville Chamberlain analogy that was taken away from her this morning on MJ. Raven's full of horse manure too trying to say that his statements are Hucksterbee's truth, this was all about saying the most offensive thing possible to drown out the Trump noise. He's a damn pastor and should know better than to invoke such hate. Edited July 28, 2015 by NextIteration 12 Link to comment
Fisher King July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) Raven is a fucking dumbass. That's all I know right now. I can't believe they're threatening us with a brand new season of this crap....and one that includes the return of Sherri. Edited July 28, 2015 by Fisher King 12 Link to comment
Bronzedog July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 I LOVED when Nicolle fumbled something during the Eriq LaSalle interview and said "guess that's why they fired me."

TheGreenKnight July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 That's your truth, Fisher King. And mine, too. Just think--Rosie Perez won't be there to smack down that nonsense next season. We know Candace and Sherri will only agree with Raven.... . I thought it was funny how, when Whoopi was talking about how "she didn't have any of those problems when she was a child," everyone else at the table was giving her side-eye. Her arrogance about parenting is amazing, too. Not that I want to go into her private life, but I'm not sure there are results there to prove her parenting "methods." (That would imply she put any thought into her parenting.) 8 Link to comment

I just think it's funny that the whole cast this season has been replaced except for Whoopi. Um....powers that be....did it ever occur to you that SHE is the problem??

Apprentice79 July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) Whoopie is so arrogant about everything. So she does not have insecurities..Give me a break! her constant need to be admired and liked by all, is an example of her insecurities. Now I understand why she had a failed talk show in the past. She lacks the vulnerability and humility in connecting with the average viewer. Oprah had that in abundance when she first started, towards the end she may have gotten a bit full of herself. However she has never displayed the contempt and derision that Whoopie emanates on a daily basis..I loved Nicole's shade at her bosses in her dismissal. Nicole may be annoying, but she is the smartest woman at that table..Her resume is to die for...Raven is an idiot and just like Whoopie she gives a new meaning to the saying of familiarity breeds contempt..The more I get to know her, the more I dislike her...Sherrie coming back is the death of this stupid show. Not to mention Candace Cameron Bure aligning herself with that idiot Sherrie to spew their hateful rhetoric under the guise of being Christian....They fail to understand the basic message of Christ, to love God completely with all your heart, mind and soul and to love your neighbor as you love yourself...They want to be able to cast aspersions on people that they deem to be sinners and rotten while making themselves feel better about themselves..

Who am I kidding, I'll only tune in to see idiocy when there is controversy - if I remember. Mario and his tempting cheesecake were the highlight of the show, dude looks younger every day. I wish they would have locked him as a rotating co-host - his vulnerable moments on the show this year were golden. Edited July 28, 2015 by NextIteration 10 Link to comment
Kenz July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) Does Raven even understand the implication of throwing around the words Holocaust and Auschwitz? She should have let Michelle complete her thoughts about Huckabee's outrageous remarks, because Michelle has a Jewish heritage and could make intelligent conversation. Raven thinks it's ok to make these comments if it is Huckabee's "truth" or some such nonsense. Is it ok to spout outrageous racist comments if that's your "truth"? Huckabee is running for the Presidency of the United States, and I just want to throw up when I hear the stupidity of his remarks. I wish Raven would keep her mouth shut. And yes, when Rosie leaves, there will be no one to respond with force and logic. (Whoopi's not up to that.) Edited July 28, 2015 by Kenz 13 Link to comment
merriebreeze July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised they didn't talk about the spousal rape allegations against Trump. (They didn't, did they?) That's the hot topic today, not whether or not it's appropriate to bribe your children. Interesting that they're shutting down the message board over at the official View site. It had been pretty much hi-jacked by a handful of posters and there wasn't much good interaction so it's probably a good thing it won't be around. Sipping a glass of wine is okay on a talk show ala Kathie Lee & Hoda, but not chomping on food or talking with your mouth full. Who thinks that's appropriate? Not a single soul, except for Whoopi, I guess. Disgusting. Edited July 28, 2015 by merriebreeze 6 Link to comment

Fisher King July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 So true, Former Nun. Nicolle looked great during the first half of the season, stunningly so at times, and then she started falling flat. Whoopi may have pointed a Fat Albert finger at her and told her she needed to tone it down and then made Nicolle's "do" person disappear. 3 Link to comment

I really dread the dialog that will be coming with the election, and that may be final nail in the coffin that gets me off watching the show.

backformore July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Not only did they skip the Trump-rape story, but they talked endlessly about 'bribing" children, without any understanding of appropriate ways to REWARD kids for good behavior. If they don't want to have an expert on to talk about child-rearing, then how about doing a little research and having an informed discussion? Instead we got some stupid crap about giving kids candy for brushing their teeth. Gee, I'd love to come on the show and teach them the difference between a reward and a bribe. If their audience is parents, why not use the moment to actually teach something? or at least discuss it seriously? Like every other topic, they bring it up, everyone gets to make a joke or tell a snippet of a personal anecdote, Whoopi declares it to all be BS, and then there's a commercial! Have a pretzel! have a mouthful of chips! 10 Link to comment

You KNOW she just wants to bury her entire face in that bowl and is face-down in one on a daily basis.

I'll wikepedia later, but Raven seems extremely uneducated, like so many child stars are (I'm looking at you Christina Aguillera and Britney Spears) not properly educated and then no one calls them on their shit while they are still young so they become braindead adults. When Raven was like, "I'm not a gay activist because I can't compare to those who came before, do you know what I mean?" I was like "No, I don't." and I don't think she did either. I loved Whoopi saying the powers that be made some changes so instead of being sad they are spending the next two weeks celebrating, haha, so awkward.

maggiemae July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 Whoopi probably realizes she can bully all of the newbies....like Raven and Michelle, now Candace and Paula. And she had loads of fun lecturing Sherri which of course never worked but then Sherri never listened to anyone and continues to screw up her life which could be funny except children are involved. Just think of the fun WG and SS will now have with their dance-offs when taking their chairs when Sherri fills in....all 50 times. 3 Link to comment
TheGreenKnight July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 I guess I'll be a party of one being glad to see Nicolle out the door (especially since Rosie Perez is also going). Even during the Mike Huckabee topic, she tried to twist it around into not being as bad as it was. The woman may not be openly crazy, but she always sticks to the party line and supports every Republican they discuss regardless of the topic/situation. I have no time for that, sorry. And her constant adoration of Whoopi--whether or not it was an attempt for job security--was unbearable. Not that the new co-hosts won't play into the Whoopi worship (for instance, Michelle and Raven LOLing at Whoopi's 10,000th "dropped my last egg" joke...), but hopefully they won't be as thorough about it. 9 Link to comment

I was like "No, I don't." and I don't think she did either Gosh Morbs, this really resonated with me. I will never claim to be the smartest tool in the drawer, but I read and listen and think about what I believe. Since RO left, they have not had one person 'testing' for the 'coveted' co-host spot that reads, thinks or is true to themselves. Nicole spouts the party line according to the am dispatch. She is smarter than that, but chooses to just play a role. The rest, I wouldn't be able to talk to them over snacks at a party - unless a WHOLE LOTTA booze was involved. RP has/had potential because she is genuinely passionate about some things. I suspect she is fairly easily intimidated by people she perceives to be smarter than she. Not that anyone on the panel fills that bill. Yeah, Nicole is smart, but she is playing the game. RP knows damn well that Nic is smart and thus is intimidated by her. Plus, not a lot of fun being the 'odd man out' in a group - no matter your age! 8 Link to comment
CousinAmy July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 Am I the only one who is gettng tired to the bone of all these interminable musical groups every day? This didn't used to be such a music-centrc show, did it? I FF through the music, the topics where they all talk at once, the doorbelll where Mario comes out, and the hawking of the sale items on Monday. It doesn't leave me with very much show left. My apologies to anyone really enjoying the music - it isn't the music per se, but I just don't like to be sung to or danced at. If I did I'd watch the singing and dancing reality shows... As they panned across the audience today, did it look like the median age might have been 22? I gues that's their new demographic... I think they've always had musical guests. Maybe not every day, but yes, very often. The last week of bringing back groups from the 1950s was kind of sad to me, as the voices haven't aged well. But it was nice for me to see the Drifters, and Little Anthony. (When Joy was on, they often had Joy's Comedy Corner, a stand-up segment towards the end of the show.) Link to comment
geekburger July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 For some reason I think Whoopi's hand is behind the "classic" bands being on the show. She probably thinks she's doing a service to the peons who watch the show to let them know what REAL music is.

I loved how Whoopi (and then Raven parroting Whoopi) couldn't just introduce the band, they had to 'shame' all the bands named The Drifters because THIS IS THE ONLY REAL band called the Drifters and then we find out that really there is only ONE GUY from the original group in the band. That's one of the problems with all these golden oldie "original bands"; they often only have one or two "original" band members. And often it's not even the lead singer. Is Journey still Journey without Steve Perry? Not to me. Queensryche without Geoff Tate? Not to me. Mileage may vary but I'd just soon stick with my Ipod playlist thanks. 5 Link to comment

It was when they started talking about Elizabeth, and when Whoopi made her remark about Elizabeth not asking her to pick cotton, I immediately changed the channel. At that moment I realized that my blood pressure pill wouldn't work today if I listened to one more word from that moron's mouth.
