I didn’t catch why Kelly switched places with the gal from Singapore

I didn't know the reason either and I don't think I missed her saying anything other than something like, "we've always wanted  to switch places..."  Mark looked totally confused and the young lady did an excellent job reading her cue card and of course, Kellllmeeee did her ridiculous model walk instead of dancing.  

I have no idea what she's doing lately but yesterday's stunt with grabbing Mark's cheat sheet was so bizarre.  First of all, I thought Mark looked totally embarrassed.  And secondly, the illusion that he is so off-the-cuff has been revealed that everything on that show is scripted--everything!  He really looked so embarrassed because she did it mean spirited, imo, all under the guise of her giggling and laughing and aren't I just so cute.  

I'll say it again, I don't think she suffers anyone else taking the spotlight away from her ever since Reege left.  She made another wise-crack today about the show and how "it takes women longer" on the show to achieve status.

I just don't understand how she can begrudge her husband his success on the show.  Her passive-aggressive shenanigans are very telling.

LOL, she was better than Kelly.  I think Mark was like, can she be my cohost?

Sorry, I don't know how to abbreviate the quotes I am commenting on.  But, omg, yes the cheat sheet thing was cringeworthy.  And the "it takes women longer" took me right back to the Strahan hissy fit she threw.  She is becoming more unbearable by the day.  And Mark becomes more & more  likable.

I think she hates her job. She seems very unhappy almost angry everyday.

I am trying to remember when I noticed her bizarre diction and I want to say it was towards the end of the Ry-Ry era?

So I'm listening to Kelllmeee's podcast with Sharon Stone and it dawned on me that Kellllmeeee's delivery and speech pattern changed when she began her podcast.  To listen to her voice on the podcast, she is almost unrecognizable, lol.  She pronounces 'd's' and 't's' in a much different way than she used to.  Maybe it's just me, but I swear she is speaking so much differently than she used to on Live!

Anyway, it's an interesting interview with Sharon, she really had quite the health scare with several strokes, brain bleeds and, I think, a heart attack all the while married to a husband she said lacked any empathy at all and actually ordered exploratory brain surgery without her consent.  According to Sharon, she stopped the surgery just as she was being wheeled into the OR.  Still not finished with the whole interview but I did find her interesting.

Kellmeeee begins the interview commiserating with Sharon about Kelmmeee's fallen vagina and the odd noises it makes when she gets up out of a chair.  Riveting conversation from both ladies, lol.

Kelllmeeee also shares her mother's medical crisis.  I always wondered what happened to Essie, I knew she had a health scare.   I knew she came through whatever it was but Kelllmeee was very tight lipped about the whole thing on Live! but blabs all about her mom's heart valve procedure and the nation's #1 plastic surgeon for breast augmentation being called in to sew her back up and you can't even see a scar!  Kelllmeee opines how she wished she could have had his expertise while lying next to her mother, just a bizarre comment and really doesn't seem like her, I really thought she admired her boyish figure, flat chest and all.  Well, she does go on to explain how even though she's a AA negative, they are hanging down to her waist.....oh my, the visual! lol

Lastly, Sharon had some interesting tidbits about the MeToo movement, doesn't name names but had her own way of handling things.

And, and......Kelllmeee wants Sharon Stone to be her daughter-in-law!!!  It was funny but I really think she was serious, lol.

 

[finnzup]

Just watched my taped Monday's show and holy cow, what got Kellllmeee all riled up with her movie snacks?  She went from 0 to 60 in a New York minute, lol.

She really is an angry elf and I really don't know what triggers her.

Buttered popcorn and a box of Dots........as if, lol.

She really did get a bit hot in the collar about that. She even went as far as to nix people sending in suggestions about eating _____ mixed in with her popcorn on Insta. 

[NYCRunner]

LOL, she is SOOO angry!  First, she says she hates going to a movie theater & then proceeds to talk about what she eats there.  I bet she hasn't been in years.  And then says how she loves going to Broadway shows.  When was the last time she talked about a Broadway show she went to?  From what I can gather, she and/or Mark only go to Broadway when someone they personally know is either in the show or produced it. 

Speaking of Broadway, I am excited to go see Merrily We Roll Along with Daniel Radcliffe tomorrow.  Have heard great things.  Feel very lucky to live near NYC!

Good for you!  A friend of mine just saw it and loved it.  He wishes all three stars could get Tonys.

[NYCRunner]

It was an amazing show!  I highly recommend it!!  Had tears in my eyes at the standing ovation.

I'm looking forward to watching Rustin this weekend on Netflix.  While I enjoyed the interview with Coleman Domingo, I was so distracted by the choppy and amateurish editing.

[finnzup]

Omg, what a giant FU to Live!'s audience!  

Two re-runs for Thursday and Friday, NOT 'previously recorded' as we know it, but two re-runs of shows already seen.  How lazy can you be?

As far as I'm concerned, the production value of this show is a minus zero; ok, rant over, lol.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

[Onefineday]

I'm guessing it will be prerecorded shows (or reruns) all of this week.

My cable guide says all new shows, although I realize my cable guide isn't gospel.

[finnzup]

New show for Monday as they talked about Michigan's win over the Buckeyes.

I do think MARK CONSUELOS!!!! cringes when Kelllllmeeeee tries to tell what she thinks is a funny story.  Case in point, the three boys that stayed with them over Thanksgiving (I guess Joaquin brought two wrestling friends with him to enjoy the hospitality of the Consuelos family.)

Are we really to believe that one of them, or all three, devour Thanksgiving leftovers with their hands and then grab cabinet fixtures with their food soiled fingers??  Are they animals?  Are they homeless vagrants?  Surely it can't be Joaquin being brought up in a home with the ultra-tidy father he has....is it the friends that behave like this?  Either way, I'm sure Joaquin will now put them on blast for embarassing his friends, and him, for that matter.

She is just sooo painful!!

Watching right now and there are days, for me, when I find her to be the MOST painful.  Today, for example, I can't stand her body language....the arms folded so tightly across her chest, the bouncing leg that NEVER stops!  As she sits down and immediately begins pulling on her sleeves.....why is she so  uncomfortable in her own body??  Which, btw, looks like she's lost a good 10 lbs. over the Thanksgiving holiday.

And btw, what a horrible crap chat!  We're now back to news clippings for entertainment, lol.  

What a crappy show.  The stump Mark contestant was more entertaining than these two.

I rarely watch host chat, I generally only watch the interviews if my favorite actors show.  I watched my recording today of Julianne Moore and Patrick Stewart, two of my faves. Deja was so good, I rewound and watched host chat.  Good job, Deja!

[Mindthinkr]

A good host chat? I’m sorry I missed it. 

[NYCRunner]

Snarky comment here, I know!  
Kelly posted a photo of their Christmas tree on Instagram. Their townhouse decor in the background is SO beige and boring.  Why not have some nice color or even modern creamy white in your $25 million home?  Looks like a dated hotel lobby.  

[SanDiegoInExile]

That seems to be in-style this season.  I have been to several nice venues on the west coast and all the decor is "classic" ie silvers and golds and faded blues, with white lights. 

I am used to shopping malls and casinos and performance centers with big huge red and green decor, with multi-colored lights flashing, so I am missing those celebratory (admittedly loud) colors.

[Mindthinkr]

Be prepared. The Michigan Wolverines made the Final Four of college football. I’m sure they will be showing their support for their son’s school.

I didn't see from the beginning but came in the middle of Christmas tree conversation & it seemed like they were struggling with crickets in the audience.    I think they start to go off on tangents & then realize wait, the average person cannot relate to our millionaire problems.  
Kelly's leg shaking was off the rails today lol!

Yes!!!  It was going a mile a minute and as I sat watching it,thinking to myself, 'is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?!?'  lol

[maggiemae]

Perhaps some jealously from Kelly that Mark and Deja had fun shows together?

[NYCRunner]

Their contact is definitely a 3 day work week.  Have probably said this previously, too lazy to go back to my old posts.  Mark is very funny & likable.  I think she is not liking his popularity on the show.  She needs to lighten up her mood.  She is so angry all of the time!!

[finnzup]

Agree 100%.  MARK CONSUELOS!!!! has a very natural ease about him and for Kelly, this is something she doesn't possess.  She may be a very natural conversationalist in their personal lives and among their family and friends, but on national TV, it's a hard NO.

While I'm sure she's very happy that this new pairing is going smoothly (have no idea what the ratings are) I do think a part of her insecure self questions why it took her so very long to gain some comfort in the chair and MARK CONSUELOS comes waltzing in and is an absolute natural.

And yes, she appears angry quite a bit of the time and it does nothing for her face and all of her fillers, botox, etc.  It gives her a very different appearance than the very attractive person she is when she's all made up and smiling and 'perky.'

Three-day workweek; gotta love it! lol

Another two-week break! Even the View was back today.

[SanDiegoInExile]

After The View completed their two week break.

[finnzup]

I wonder if Gelman is getting a salary as the 3rd host??

I ask because his participation in host chat is getting on my last nerve, lol.

How many cut-aways to Gelman's laughing face do we need with each chat?  How many "ohhhh!" and "ahhhhh!" and guffaws do we need during the show?

He has become a full-blown part of the chat and for me, it's so annoying.  If they aren't showing his face, we're hearing his forced laughter and other inane comments.

Really trying to like the Mark dynamic but Gelman's antics and Kellllmeeee's constant leg shaking and sleeve tugging and waistband adjusting are just too much, lol.

Happy New Year!!

[babyhouseman]

Gelman was part of the chat when Regis was on there. Regis would berate him or Gelman would have to explain something to Regis.

[goldenpuppy]

Kelly who works 3 days a week for 20 million a year whining because she has to fly back after being gone over 2 weeks on a vacation in one of their island properties (probably the same place they stood during covid when she pretended to be in NYC) is is always relatable ! 
Mark actually looked uncomfortable with her bitching about the snowflakes that dared to fall when the Consuelos family and the significantly others of their adult children were once again gracing NYC with their privledged presence!

Then she added to her out of touch complaining by pointing out that the producers who spent the break in the cold weather have castles ! 
How many castles does Kelly have ? The island house,  the NYC penthouse, the Colorado chalet, and the house they bought in Michigan along with the Hamptons mansion come to mind .

 

Edited January 9 by goldenpuppy

[finnzup]

Yes to all of this and she still can't string a sentence together.  MARK CONSUELOS!!!! knows it too, that's why he cuts off her stories and finishes them and even jumps in at the beginning as she's staring at the camera, "umming" her way into the intro of the story and puts us out of our misery.  

 

 

[goldenpuppy]

Mark is a natural host . He reminds me a lot of Regis .  Kelly just can’t stop being very self absorbed and still can barely speak fluently .

 

[Medicine Crow]

I was preparing to bake some muffins when the show came on & I didn't catch who that first guest was, but I noticed he seemed miffed at the end of his interview & didn't even look at Kelly.  Did something going awry?

[orangekit]

I didn’t see today’s show yet . It is replayed later today so I can see if something happened in that interview.

I meant to come on before the holidays to comment on the show where Lola and Michael came on to cook . I think Michael is a lot like Mark and well, Lola acts a lot like Kelly . I will leave it at that !

i am surprised that Michael works on a Housewives franchise as a producer. He almost seemed embarrassed about it . He seems like a kid who is smart and has integrity and that show is misogynistic and tacky .   
I am wondering if he felt pressured into taking that job . I wouldn’t want that in my resume .

i also never get the repulsion Kelly has to the Bachelor which is no way as degrading as the Housewives franchise where women are encouraged to get drunk and fight for entertainment, and they are called “housewives “! But she loves the show and even would sit down with Lola to watch it !

Nothing went awry, the delightful Victor Garner was just telling a story that included being quarantined in Vancouver.  VG and K&M seem to be friends.

Apologies, Medicine Crow, I neglected to look at the date of your post.  The interviewee was Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya, he was there promoting his new film, which he also directed.  But again nothing went awry, he was relating the grim storyline of the dystopian movie at the end of the interview.

[goldenpuppy]

No one ever talks sports before Mark? Regis talked about sports constantly and I know she wants to pretend Michael Strahan never was there , but he talked sports all the time since he was an ex football player and now is a commentator 

Kelly’s obsessive workout will be a segment ? How exciting !

She's a hoot!  Our girl sure loves to re-write history.  If my memory serves, after Kelllmeeee got a little full of herself, she would totally disrespect Reege whenever he talked sports by either making snide comments or she would turn her back away from him and sit in a way that showed her displeasure with his chatting about sports.  

And yes, Reege loved his ND football but he did talk other sports .  And of course, Strahan did talk sports but I believe he didn't want to upset the 'little guy' so he towed the line.

Yes, Kellllmeeee's and MARK CONSUELOS' workout!!!!  Can hardly wait, lol.  She is so full of herself and her 'working out' it's embarrassing.  I've never seen anyone on national tv so passively brag about themselves and their ability to work out and her perceived fitness.  Can't wait to see her and Anna Kaiser dance themselves into exercise bulimia.....lol.

And oh, btw, caught the tail end of the health segment with the Asian Dr., who had such interesting information imo, and Kelllmeeee throwing down the cacao powder down her yap and getting it all over her face.  What a weirdo!

[orangekit]

 

How could Kelly and Mark not know what cacao is ? So weird! And throwing in her mouth was just gross and weird !

A friend of mine told me her daughter’s classmate in college in NYC worked at Live as an intern on the show when it was Kelly and Michael .  She said Kelly was demanding and not very nice if she didn’t get her way .  She said Michael was very nice .  I tend to believe this /

Kelly reminds me of a friend I had  to exercise every time she put something in her mouth she thought was fattening and lived on minimal calories .  They hiked everyday on vacation and she still had to run ? Talk about obsessed , and her exercise teacher always seems extreme and extremely underweight like Kelly when she’s on the show .

 . 

[Medicine Crow]

Josh Hutcherson was a great guest on yesterday's show!  He said his Spanish girlfriend/wife encouraged him to learn Spanish by saying "Mi Amore" first & then indicated it would be nice.  Mark said he'd learn anything if someone called him Mi Amore!  Kelly's head nearly spun off her shoulders ... fuuuuuny!!

[NYCRunner]

Can someone PLEASE tell Kelly to stop shaking that leg???  The whole chair is moving, it drives me crazy!!  I did notice on the show last week when she was saying that the Live employees live in castles, Mark shut her down after she kept repeating it over and over and over.  My Lord, she has no self-awareness.  On one of last week's shows, when they were talking about the exercise segments coming up the following week, she said "I work out every single day".  First, we did not know that lol?  But second, she said it so defensively.  Again, she just comes across so angry much of the time.  Mark has his hands full with her.
