I think if I have to pick, I'd go with Carrie Ann too. Eve's was a very cool transformation and fun for Halloween, but Carrie's resemblance to J.Lo & her amazing dancing were quite the combination. I'd probably be the most wowed by Eve just looking at a picture, because she naturally looks nothing like RuPaul.

When I first heard Eve would be RuPaul I wasn’t sure if she’d be able to pull it off, but she definitely did. It was a fun performance and I liked her’s and Carrie Ann’s the best followed by Marie. Sheryl’s was funny (along with the deep voice mic during her interview), but I wouldn’t have crowned her the winner. Bless Stevie Knicks for claiming she didn’t know if it was her or Sharon during Sharon’s half-assed performance.

This week’s schedule:

Monday - Actor Patrick Wilson.

Tuesday - Actress Kellie Pickler; actress Vicki Lawrence.

Wednesday - Hootie & The Blowfish perform.

Thursday - Actress Annie Potts and actor Craig T. Nelson.

Friday - The Talk celebrates it’s 2000th episode with a special “Greatest Moments Countdown”. 

[Medicine Crow]

Kellie Pickler is one of my favorites ... so adorable!!!

Why does Marie look so different today?  Is it just no lipstick?

I think it was because she wore her bangs brushed off to the side.

[catlover79]

For once, I have to agree with Sharon. I've never particularly liked the song, but something about what John Legend did with the lyrics bugs me. I don't even know how to explain it.

That’s the downside to the #MeToo movement. There’s nothing in the song that suggests rape or forcing a woman to do something she doesn’t want to do and throwing in a new line about “your body, your choice” is just (for lack of a better word) lame. And preachy. Like Dean Martin’s daughter said, if you don’t like the original lyrics then don’t cover the song. 

[catlover79]

It was great to see Vicki Lawrence on the show today, and I can relate to her problem since over the past decade and a half I've had issues with hives. Sheryl and Sharon handled the discussion with Vicki and the doctor very well. Kudos to all.

Her wig looked different to me. It seemed more natural in my eyes.

[catlover79]

I totally love Eve's striped dress. I don't like wearing dresses, but that's one dress I wouldn't mind wearing. 😎

[catlover79]

Here it is:

[rmcrae]

That T.I. story was so inappropriate. On what planet is it ok to discuss your daughter’s virginity and sex life? Not to mention the hypocrisy of practically giving his teenage son a high five for being sexually active. Would you feel the same way if, g-d forbid, he got a girl pregnant?   

[catlover79]

He's definitely the creepiest dad in the public eye this side of Joe Simpson. I feel sorry for the poor daughter, who has to be mortified that all this has gone public. If my dad ever did that to me, I'd put myself up for adoption!! 😳😠

[catlover79]

I love how genuinely excited and honored Carrie Ann was to be a question on Jeopardy! Her reactions were so cute. It was also nice that the show honored frequent guest/fill-in host Pat Harvey for her 30th anniversary at KCBS. She is indeed an inspiration for all women. ☺

[RealHousewife]

A 67-year-old woman gave birth?! Wow.

I love the idea of a four-day work week and am not surprised it increased productivity. 

[Lifesabeach]

I did a stint of the four day work week, 4 10 hour days.  Easy Peasy  when you’re in your 20s or 30s, a bit harder in your 40s as I was, after that I went to  4 8 hour days a week, making 80%, in my 50s.  By then the time off was more important.

[catlover79]

Marie was talking about this story today. I'm surprised TI hasn't done this...yet. 😳

Oh four 10’s is no walk in the park! I thought they meant getting an extra paid day off.

[Medicine Crow]

My company went to a four day week ... 8.5 hrs. with .5 hr. for lunch.  Cake walk for me in my forties, but when I left there & took another five day job (more money & better benefits), I felt really deprived & tired until I got used to it!!!

[Miss Slay]

I'm taking this show off my DVR. Marie and Eve are nice but they are soooo boring and they don't have a particularly interesting take on anything. Julie, Aisha, and Sara atleast brought an interesting perspective. This show is a snooze to me now.

[Mikita]

Watching today's 2000th episode. 

How hateful of Sharon to only acknowledge Julie Chen by saying how nice it was to see her in a clip from the first season. Nary a mention of Holly Robinson Peete or Leah Remini.

Overall I enjoyed this clip show.

I am now wondering who Sharon will have fired in the upcoming weeks. The final straw for Holly and Leah was the food fight. The ladies clearly orchestrated that cake in Sharon's face. LOL She was shocked and then started laughing. Kind of hoping no one gets fired.🙄

[Coffeewinewater]

I enjoyed the show today. It was nice to see old clips. Celebrating 2000 episodes should be about the show and hosts. I wish someone would have shared that secret with the view.

[catlover79]

As fun as the clip show was, it kind of lost something with just Sharon and Sheryl reminiscing about most of the clips. I know that obviously Julie, Leah and Holly wouldn't have been there, but couldn't Sara and Aisha return for this episode and join in the walk down memory lane? That would have been fun. Oh well.

I too noticed Sharon's shout out to Julie but not acknowleging Leah and Holly. Yikes.

Sharon is a hateful petty bitch.  That infamous food fight was funny and spontaneous. Holly and Leah went all out.   I remember the nasty bitchy looks that Sharon, Julie and even Sara had on their faces. They were toast after that.  When they showed the clip with Sheryl's first episode, I noticed Sharon looking at Sheryl in a nasty way.

They did discussed TI, Eve defended him by saying he was being funny and not serious. Sheryl gave some spiritual opinion that was not germane to the topic.  She was too understanding in my opinion.  Sharon did not really condemn him but I have a feeling that she held back..  The panel seems to believe that TI's creepiness is love for his daughter.  TI overstepped his bounds as a father. 

The only daytime host that went in on TI was Wendy Williams on her talk show.  TI is a creepy pig.  He has no problems with his 15 year old son having sex and potentially impregnating somebody's daughter.  Yet, he is intent on controlling and policing his daughter's body.  Social media is going after him hard and the two ladies who were laughing as he described his daughter's yearly humiliations.

I like Carrie Ann as a moderator but I feel that she rushes the topics at times. I get that they have a bunch of topics to discuss. However, I wish she would let the conversations flow organically.

I've since watched it, and I think they had a hard time condemning TI because they know him personally. Sharon had the most appropriate reaction imo. She said he shouldn't be talking about her sex life period, that it's freaky he goes to the gynecologist with her, that he should respect her privacy, and that he doesn't own her.

If TI was trying to be funny, he's got a bizarre sense of humor. 

TI's attitude towards his daughter's sexuality is so damaging. She may become ashamed of her body and sexuality, if she isn't already. Like "God knows what dad will do if I'm no longer a virgin, and the world may be shaming me for still being a virgin at 18." 

Good for Wendy! I grew up with a really strict father. It did cause me issues, but luckily he was nothing creepy like TI. My goodness!

[Jaded]

Loni on The Real was the only one on there who really attempted to call TI out over there. I wasn't happy with the way they tried to comment on it either without really saying anything or changing the subject to their own behavior when young like that excused TI's behavior. I'm mad and sad to hear that The Talk went in the same direction in regards to this issue. He's made comments about owning half of his wife's vagina.

I'm glad Loni called out TI. Maybe he's a nice person like these women are saying, but he needs to learn to do right by his daughter. Is there a forum to discuss The Real? I thought there used to be, but I couldn't find it last time I looked.

The Holly and Leah food fight! I missed it when it aired, but watched it on the CBS website (before the constant commercials got out of control) and they must’ve reshot the other’s reactions because Julie was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. I was surprised to hear she and Sharon were visibly aggravated. Well, not so much Sharon, but definitely Julie. 

I also caught that shade against them when Sharon said she missed Julie and ignored them. As much as I agreed with Sharon about Wendy Williams being a nasty shrew despite people kissing her ass, she’s no better. Those women haven’t publicly spoken about her in years yet she still makes digs at them. It’s pathetic.

Same here. I had a good belly laugh watching Aisha’s fall again. She was feelin’ herself a bit too much then SPLAT! 😆

@RealHousewife, you can find The Real’s board in the “Other Non-Fiction Shows” section. I need to pop in and post there more myself.

That’s where I remember it, but for some reason I can’t see it anymore! If you post there, please let me know! Thanks so much. I used to post there too and only stopped when I didn’t see it anymore.

[Jaded]

@rmcrae I just tried to find The Real's thread and like @RealHousewife mentioned it seems to have disappeared. I tried using the show search function too. 

[catlover79]

I didn't see it, either. Maybe someone should start a new thread.

[RealHousewife]

I just made a thread for The Real. 🙂 I won’t say any more to avoid getting too OT. 

I enjoyed all the old clips in the anniversary episode. The Talk has had so many funny moments!

Poor girl - we got to see it from several different camera angles, too!! For Aisha's sake, I hope she wasn't wearing platforms (she doesn't need them!). I also laughed at the clip where the ladies all came out at the start of the show and Sharon headed straight for the restroom!! 😳😂

[catlover79]

To finish my thoughts on the clip of Sharon heading to the restroom, it brings a whole new meaning to the term "exit stage left"!! 😳😉😂 Ah, the adventures of live TV!!

I know most people don't like Sharon but it's not hateful if a clip is mainly of one person talking and she said she missed that person. It has been over nine years since they have been gone she doesn't have to mention them especially when they don't really appear in clips. She doesn't pick the clips.

Honestly live TV is so much pressure! I get embarrassed enough having to excuse myself to go to the ladies room without an audience and cameras.

LOL the shade! I had no idea Chrissy ever even had a show. 

TBH though, I agree with Sharon. The song is a classic. It's definitely cheeky, but in innocent, playful way. There are so many gross, misogynistic songs out there. Baby It's Cold Outside is not one of them. And Sharon was also right, that this is a group of self-made women who have lead interesting lives and are paid because us fans enjoy listening to their views. It's not a show made to talk crap, just share honest opinions. The Talk is probably one of the most feel good shows out there. It's not political. It's not meant to be a malicious gossip show. It's like watching a chat among girlfriends.

I do think Sheryl, Carrie Ann, Eve, and Marie are the sweeter hosts. Sharon was never my favorite. But I thought Chrissy could have said something about Sharon being entitled to her opinion and left it at that. Sharon also could have absolutely been gentler in her response, and I agree she was warning Chrissy to not take it further. 

[rmcrae]

I can’t stand Sharon (and I’m in good company ;)), but the dig about Chrissy’s talk show not lasting more than a season made me laugh too. Yes, Sharon has made a career out of talking shit and I’d usually be on the side of anyone who had the balls to publicly say it, but it wasn’t justified in this case. The mini-threat was unnecessary and I did see a glimpse of the old Sharon there. Chrissy girl, just let it go. Don’t give Miss Hannigan any more ammo. 

Marie, give the heels a rest. No wonder you’re falling so much. Bless your heart.

I guess this is the last episode for awhile until the Impeachment Hearings are over. 

[RealHousewife]

I think it's funny Sharon has the least fans (at least here), but she's the last OG. 

I think someone like Brigitte would be great because she's somewhat outrageous like Sharon, but she seems to be a kinder human.

I get the feeling that whenever Sharon leaves that Brigitte will replace her. She’s a natural fit and like you said, she’s eccentric and kooky, but in a fun way. And she never comes across like a sanctimonious know-it-all. She’s great.
