[CheezyXpressed]

Two days of View your Deal? Bleh.

Predictions: On Monday, Tamika Mallory will be asked about antisemitism by Meghan as a gotcha question. Perhaps a discussion on feminism will be brought up as well.

On Tuesday, Bill will mention Meghan's dad.

Wednesday, boring. But perhaps one of the ladies will ask about Weinstein and how the entertainment industry is moving forward after MeToo.

Thursday, they'll rush the interview and give them one segment

Friday, fluff but fluff with View your Deal

[Marigny]

This week looks boring AF!

[Haleth]

Hey, Wonder, what day did you say you are going?

[ChicagoCita]

This was on The View's Twitter feed. Wonder what this "very special" View is about?

Tamika Mallory. Ugh. Wrong messenger. She's vile. 

[Jaded]

I know they are taping two episodes Wednesday with the 2nd being a MLK themed episode for next Monday the 21st. The link in that twitter post is for tickets to the live Wednesday taping this week though.

[Haleth]

Are they having trouble finding an audience to sit there?

[GoldenGirl90]

Who is Meghan to tell Joy what she should and shouldn't be offended by? Smh.

[Cementhead]

Wtf was Whoopi going on about as she was introducing the ABC news guy?  Who the hell was she mad at?  A producer?  The teleprompter?  Because she couldn't read it and bungled the intro?  She was pissed and said something like "oh, I guess so anybody  can do my job then."  Uh, yeah.  Anybody else can do your job and would probably do it 100x better. 

[Haleth]

I think ABC needs a new legal correspondent.

I think she was pissed because Meghan kept rambling while Whoopi was trying to introduce him, then Abby jumped in trying say his name. 

I actually dont blame Abby, I'd be like, come on spit it out, lol.  Meghan on the other hand , she made a big deal about him being there, even before WG could introduce him. MM has to draw attention to herself at all cost.

Ah, ok, I think you are right.  Would explain why MM went on to not say one thing during the interview.  She was completely silent, wasn't she?  She was pouting after.  Unless she did speak and I missed it, I was in and out of room.

Oh, and Whoopi?  Calm the fuck down and get over yourself.  If you still cannot read the teleprompter by now, that's on you.

Really? I had to turn it off , as soon as the interview started. I'll watch later and if Meghan is silent defenently a bonus. 

[Cementhead]

Commercial-wise, this show is starting to remind me of The Big Bang Theory, a show in which I have read is only 17 minutes long when you factor in all of the commercials.   This show is basically ALL commercials now, too. 

[GoldenGirl90]

I changed the channel while they were talking about the Kardashians or Kylie Jenner or whoever they were talking about. This week does seem like a snooze fest overall.

I was reading my book, so one moment it was just the ladies and then a guy was between Joy and Sunny. I was so confused about where he came from.

Details, please? What happened? Or didn't happen?

[CheezyXpressed]

If you ask someone a question, then you need to let the answer it. I felt for Tamika, because you could tell she was like 'Let me answer your same question!' But she remained calm, because she knows how it would look. I'm glad Bob ended up talking too in defence, because it seemed like that was the only time that Meghan let someone speak.

Actually I prefer that the guest is at the table without all the hugging. The segments are short enough as it is without all the intro walking in and kissing and getting settled in the chair and whatnot.

He was very dismissive of the FBI investigation and Mueller. 

I hate to admit to kind of agreeing with Meghan that someone who won't condemn hate speech should not be leading an organization that promotes equal rights. I hated her smug expression though.

Whew! I thought you were referring to Sunny. But it was Bland, right? Bet Meghan was lapping it all up.

I do too, but it was just a shock. One moment I'm watching the show, then I look down at my book and all of a sudden he's there. Maybe I was really into my book, but I don't even remember them introducing him.

I usually watch the View on Hulu and it is 35 mins. long.

Jonathan Karl.

I don't think the Women's March reps were effective in their attempts to clear things up.

[ChicagoCita]

His name is Jonathan Karl and he is the ABC Chief White House Correspondent.

I think Whoopi was wildly unprofessional. My interpretation of what happened is that the producers wanted her to introduce him immediately. She didn't, and when she did, she said something like "you can all see who's sitting here with us." At that point, Abby and Meghan tried to introduce him. Then the producers started talking in the earpiece in Whoopi's ear telling her to introduce him. She had begun to do so by that point, and then she got frustrated and started talking to the camera and pointing at her earpiece and saying something like, "I don't know why you have me do this job, everyone else is trying to do my job."

And that's why people looked up and saw a strange man sitting at the table talking with no real introduction. A totally effed-up and unprofessional piece of work.

[ari333]

I hate everything Kardashian and Kanye.

[ChicagoCita]

By the way, remember last week when a reporter asked Trump a question and Trump didn't want to answer, so he kept asking the reporter what he would do in his place? No answer, just trying to make the reporter look bad?

THAT was Jonathan Karl.

No wonder he dealt so well with Whoopi's unprofessionalism.

What on earth was Meghan wearing today? It was some green print outfit that made her look like the green giant sitting down.

I didn't see her walk out and don't feel like watching it again.

We're they even given a chance though? I thought Tamika explained why she called Farkhan a GOAT. She disagrees with his views on some issues, but she can't deny what he's done for black people which is what she was referring to.

Before she could properly finish, Meghan went into a rant about people like her not being included at the Women's March and how can you support someone who is antisemitic. She then said, 'Can a Trump supported conservative women come to the March.' Which both ladies said yes.

I kind of wishes one of them said, 'If a woman is a Trump supporter, then does that mean that she cosigns all of the racist, sexist bigoted things that he's said and done?

Meghan would probably say no, which would then lead them to ask why does Tamika have to answer about a man when this is about women's issues?

I wish one of them said that also!  Like I originally posted they were ineffective in stating their case.

Why is MM wearing my mother-in-law's bedspread?

When she first walked out, I thought it was her Elsa outfit.

The woman in the middle with the red hair - I forget her name but when Meghan put her on the spot her voice was very shaky. She didn’t sound confident in what she was saying - either that or she was nervous, maybe both. 

Edited January 14, 2019 by Alexis2291
She wasn't a blonde - she had red hair.

Her name was Bob.

Me too...but Production is probably counting on all that wasted time so they aren't required to provide as much content.  Content?  Content?  I laugh at myself!

Another unprofessional job by the moderator. Joy is so much better.

[ChiCricket]

This is just a silly aside, but does Tamika look like she could be Sherri Shepherd's younger (prettier) sister to anyone else?

And did they ever say why one of the women was named Bob?

Well, so much for trying to fillet the two women from The Women's March, Nutmeg! What a horror show she is.

Bob had red hair on my tv, too.  Also on my tv, when the camera panned out and did a wide shot of the table and all the ladies sitting around it, Meghan's girth took up the same amount of space on my screen as Whoopi's did.  And Whoopi was wearing one of her usual tarp-sized Amish jumpers, so Meghan's dress was doing her no favours.  Or maybe it was doing all it could with what it had to work with.

After the show ended, I played a clip from The View Twitter page since I changed the channel during the live show and missed the segment.

She may have had red hair, lol. I wasn't really watching, just listening.

Ha!  That's okay.  I bet that's how most of us are watching it.  Just half-assed.  The show isn't worth the energy for us to use all of our senses on it. 

[ari333]

ok I'll say it. The only reason I watch this show is so I can come here and dish with you all
