After all this time, Savannah is still stiff and trying to figure out which camera is on her. I wish Tamron would dress to fit her boobs. They're so low and smashed.

stafford September 12, 2014 Share September 12, 2014 Mrsjumbo, I thought I was having a nightmare when Matt announced Jenna's promotion to weekday fitness guru. What the hell is wrong with the producers of the Today show? I've come to the sad conclusion that it must be me. I must be so outta step with ratings and polls (although the Today show ratings have tanked since they started the five person panels). I feel like they just promoted Ann Curry all over again. It's just become one big clusterfuck. I actually watched this week with the "Homecoming" hosts and really enjoyed it. It was great to have the focus on two co-hosts rather than five. I especially enjoyed Tom Brokaw and Matt (yes, I said Matt). Even Maria Shriver was good (although she needs to lay off the Botox). I just don't understand why anyone would think Jenna would add anything to the morning show. Well at least I can go back to watching Weekend Today with Lester Holt and not have it ruined by Jenna"it's all about me" Wolfe. Free Lester! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4855-all-episodes-talk-orange-is-the-new-yuck/page/3/#findComment-369876

But it seems she is doing segments during the week AND is on during the weekend too. I also enjoyed Tom Brokaw. Oh. I see now where she is moving to weekdays.

MS: do you think it would have been different if the video had been there & had we seen what you were trying to say? RG: (talks about why she didn't leave- the embarrassment as a victim one feels, and how you want to start protecting & consoling the abuser). MS: do you understand why Janee stayed?

stafford September 13, 2014 Share September 13, 2014 You know Mrsjumbo, you are right about Maria Shiriver. I re watched the Robin Givens interview and it was just as you described it (backwards). I thought she looked different and I initially blamed it on Botox but her eyes seemed to be almost swollen shut. She's always looked so severe with the angular jaw and so very thin but something was "off" about her today. I'm not sure it was even due to being out of practice. I saw a story later in the day that showed Arnold unveiling his official California state house portrait and getting criticized for the amature way her face had been painted over in the portrait. I also saw where his love child was at his movie premier the night before. Maybe it was all too much for her? The continued humiliation of her husband cheating on her (and producing a child) along with her role as First Lady of California being crudely obliterated had to sting. This is wild speculation but Arnold had to have used steroids to achieve his physic and that can contribute to violent behavior. I wonder if she is holding in more secrets about her marriage because she certainly wanted to get through the Givens interview quickly? Something was definately off Today.

And today, he's got an expose about the website that will make you a copy of your key if you send him a picture of it, which of course will lead to ISIS taking cellphone pics of everyone's keys and burglaring all of our houses. No mention of the fact that you have to take a picture of both the front and the back of the key, and then you have to know what house it goes to, so it's very unlikely that random terrorists will be able to carry this off unless they chloroform the unwitting key owner.
