"The View": Week Of 12/10/2018

[Apprentice79]

J-lo is gorgeous and does not age at all.  I love her elegance and her clothing are always on point.. Plus, she was a fly girl from in living color.

They did have one in Nicole Wallace who is doing fabulous on MSNBC, but, they found her too sane so they fired her. 

Exactly.  ABC seems to want a certain type.  And as I have said before, trying to appeal to audience you don't have will only alienate the audience you do have.

On a superficial and shallow note, Jennifer Lopez is such a beautiful woman. I still think one of her best, if not the best, performances ever was when she portrayed Selena in the biopic. 

Oh, they're talking about it as I type this! Let me shut up watch, haha.

Love, la Lopez! ❤

Selena has always been one of my favorite movies. I'm Mexican-American and loved Selena for years her murder was unbelievable shocking.

Jennifer Lopez did a fantastic job playing Selena. 

I can't wait to see Jennifer's movie, it looks fun. 

 

If Chuck and Nancy had not fought back and schooled Trump,  all we would be hearing is that they are wimps and they let Trump walk all over them. I loved Nancy. And chuck  making fun of him to his was hilarious.

Plus, Nancy showed with her intelligence, grit and grace why she deserves to be the next speaker of the house.  Her strut coming out of the White House after the meeting was amazing, strong and in charge.

What the hell is Meggie wearing?!

to steal a line from my goddess Bonnie Hunt - she is dressed for her part-time job at the Scotch Tape store!

[tinkerbell]

I think Meghan's plaid blazer today was an improvement over her last few outfits.  

And it seems they are all taking turns wearing advertisements for Whoopi's sweater brand.  Today was Abby's turn.

The directors put in a couple shots of MM giving people dirty looks. They’re all on to her now....

Yesterday, when she was talking percentages of White House staff leaving under other presidents leaving compared to Trump she gave a particular nasty scowl towards her co-hosts who didn't get her point that she was trying to "give a compliment" to Obama.

Here’s my interpretation. ABC wants Abby and they’re going to invest in her. As for MM, no investment for her and she’s in her way out. 

This is my reaction, too. They're planning for Abby to take over Meghan's role of combative conservative without, you know, Meghan's penchant for acting unprofessional, screaming, little girl tantrums, and borderline harassment of the guests / the audience / her co-hosts. In other words, Abby is salvageable (with a famous father currently in politics) while Meghan is unfixable and has used up her 5 minutes. Either way, I had been wondering what was going on with Huntsman on last Friday's show.

I have to say I would get some pleasure out of Meghan being pushed out in favor of one of her "besties".  And if Ana were to join as well that would just be the icing on the cake.

Yeah that was an incredibly nasty scowl.  Is it that Meghan has no awareness that she comes across so rude? Or is she that entitled and doesn't care? 

What I found interesting is, she did the nasty scowl rolled her eyes facing the audience,  then when the camera was full on her she slapped a smile on her face and said "it was a complament," still said it in a nasty tone .

I thought all of the cohosts looked nice today. I especially liked Sunny’s dress. I’ve gotten so used to seeing Joy wearing glasses that it was odd to see her not wearing them today.

As boring as Abby is, I would much rather have her on the show than Meghan. I hope this "coach" isn't trying to turn her into Meghan 2.0.

Sorry to those who optimistically hope Abby will be Meghan's replacement, I'm thinking it's more like toughening Abby up so she and Meghan can tag-team. I'm sure Meghan is disappointed that her bestie is so polite.

I really don't see Meghan leaving unless Meghan wants to leave. Or she gets a better offer, but who would want her except Fox? And she left there once already or was fired or whatever, right? (I never saw her performances there)

Joy looked especially fetching today!!!

Her performance there was very similar to what we see on The View, except she rarely, if ever, received any push-back. 

[OpalNightstream]

The good thing about having Abby on is we don’t have to hear MM complaining about being the lone conservative who is always under attack by the big bad evil liberals on the panel. Sure she finds other ways of claiming of being “attacked” but she can’t use the “me vs everyone else” anymore. 

[deirdra]

3 hours ago, Alexis2291 said:

Meghan, Nancy and Chuck weren't playing up to the cameras. Trump's the one that invited the so-called "fake news media" to watch that. And Sunny (or Joy? can't remember at the moment) asked Meghan the important question: if Nancy and Chuck were supposedly "playing up to the cameras," why did Nancy suggest they do it without the cameras present? 

Also, Sunny is right: Trump received a master lesson in politics but he wasn't the teacher, he was the student. Nancy held her own and she did a fantastic job. 

At one point they showed Trump do what looked like a left swipe in the air, as if he were on his phone, but Nancy & Chuck were still there after the swipe.  LOL.

One Friday Meghan complained about having to speak for Republicans and both Abby & Ana were right there on that episode with Republicans outnumbering liberals.

My in-laws gave my firstborn one of those annoying toys.  It was a plastic rocking horse, only a few inches tall, and with the slightest movement it played the most annoying tune.  The kid loved it, and one car trip that stupid tune played nonstop for an hour.  Finally my husband said "Get that thing and throw it out the window or else!"  I looked back and saw that our kid had fallen asleep and the stupid toy was playing it's stupid tune because the movement of the car was enough to set it off.  So I reached back, got the toy, and realized there was an off switch on the bottom of it!  Peace reigned once again.

A couple of years later one of my sister in laws had really gotten on my nerves, so for Christmas I sent her kid this box with lots of brightly colored buttons to push, and each one made a different sound.  Her kid really liked it until it had a freak accident one day.  I guess they didn't find the off switch.

LMAO...that is brilliant!!

[blondiec0332]

Abby said she doesn't have any friends or family that would post or like something unkind on social media.  Does she not follow Meghan?

[Tammee]

The beginning of the show was pre-empted by the Cohen news.  Anything of interest in HT?

I wouldn't mind Whoopi hosting the Oscars actually, although she's not as big of a celebrity as she once was. She hosted the Tony's some years back and did a great job.

Someone who's on Instagram with Joy should aske her to just spout off one day (apropos of nothing), "What about Benghazi???"   That will make Little Meghan's head jerk.

At every chance, i would bring up the topics of sex, marriage, kids knowing she wont speak.  Heeeeee

Since they were talking about the Nancy/Chuck/Individual 1 convo, I'm surprised no one brought up how awkwardly Pense was sitting there the whole time.  

Pence was hoping that by sitting still they couldn't see him

I didn't think so. Your comment of "except" threw me off. It sounded like her experience there was the same except she does get push back on this show, which...she doesn't. Because they always cut to commercial as she starts to have a toddler tantrum at all the meanies.

I think Meghan reacted that way because Sunny was questioning her about the low percentage. I don’t think Sunny was listening carefully and thought that Meghan was dissing Obama.

Not sure what her point was or why she was making it, but the nasty looks at her co stars are not appropriate.

To be fair to Meghan, she said she stated the number as a plus for Obama.

Another show described Pence as "the elf on the shelf" at that meeting.  That made it more fun to see the clip over and over.

Nancy and I are the same age.   To say that about me, one would write, "HaCHOO hobbled out of the White House thinking she looked amazing, strong, and in charge.  Bless her heart."

Ok, my curiosity was piqued, so I watched a few youtube videos. Yes, similar, but not quite as screechy. As always, her facial expressions let it be known if she didn't like what was being said, or if someone disagreed with her. I didn't see any overtalking or interrupting like she does now. Probably because she didn't have to work so hard to get her points heard with a bunch of Repubs.

On a totally shallow note, she looked a lot better, softer...hair, makeup and clothing. And of course, weight-wise. I don't understand why she dresses like such a middle-aged matron now. I get that she's heavier, but she's naturally pretty and she's in her 30's, why does she want to look 20 years older? Does she think she needs to look more like a "serious" pundi(n)t?

[oldchristine123]

Meghan is such a sour-puss and a downer.  I absolutely cringe while watching her.  She is neither attractive nor self-aware.  She brings the show down constantly and needs to go - somewhere!!  Perhaps she needs to go back to Fox News where the vile belong.

[ChiCricket]

I've always liked Leah Remini, but I was clueless about her being in the Scientology cult until she did the show about it. Very informative.

I wish she'd leave her lips alone though. Why do women screw with them like that?! 

[JAYJAY1979]

Jlo..so beautiful but my fav movie of hers was Angel Eyes.

Let Abby be Abby...an actual adult.

 

Nancy Pelosi...symbol of checks and balances being restored.

her mouth barely moved, her eyes look different.  i agree. she screwed her face.

I wouldn't have known that was Leah Remini if she hadn't been introduced. 

You all who think Abby is pregnant may be right. She's been wearing a lot of oversized sweaters lately. She's either pregnant or sucking up to Whoopi. 

Orin Hatch can go fuck himself with his "I don't care" about and crimes being committed.
