Anybody watch that trainwreck called The View today?

[xmas74]

Rosie has the day off but, from what I understand on other boards, Kathy Griffin was on and made near constant jabs at Elisabeth and at Barbara Walters about yesterday's fight.

Walters might never let her back on the show again but it sounds like she has some decent material for her stand-up act for a change.

[DrDan]

1. for a change?

I love her Barbra Streisand comments . . . and her Anna Nicole Smith stories . . . and her past comments on The View

[xmas74]

5. For a while she was running the same things.

She did revamp for a bit then...

I don't know-she can be iffy at times on her material. But you know she will review this over and over again-especially since she was threatened w/ never being allowed back on the show.

Oh, and supposedly she made a comment about how Jesus loves all babies and rolled her eyes at EH.

[AlCzervik]

2. i saw her in December and she had all new material and she really loves

her audience, her show was almost 2 hours. When her new Bravo special comes on it will most likely be the new stuff i saw her do in December.

[xmas74]

6. I'm glad to hear that.

When she's on she golden but she does have some off moments.

When she's off she'll drag out things I didn't care for the first time.

I so prefer her when she's fearless and has a nasty bite, instead of when she occasionally feels like she has to tame it down for a wider audience.

[merh]

3. chimpy's press conference pre-empted it.

I did want to see how they handled it, good for Kathy for jabbing at whiney fake titty baby elisabeth.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. I positively love Alicia Silverstone for completely dissing

Elisabeth by ignoring her and bestowing huge hugs on everyone else yesterday. :hi:

[xmas74]

9. On Survivor Sucks they are saying that

Rosie went into the audience yesterday after the "discussion" and spoke to the fans while Elisabeth went backstage to the Green Room.

Something must have happened in that Green Room for Alicia Silverstone to ignore her.

[merh]

14. Damn it, I missed that.

Okay, the word I have heard is that elisabeth has been offered a show at Faux and has been in negotiations with them, long before this other began with Rosie. She has been ratcheting it up to make herself look "fauxlike" and her refusal to defend her friend, Rosie, (with friends like lizzie, who needs enemies) was because she doesn't want to hurt her shot with Faux. Rosie knows about the negotiations and that is part of why she is so hurt.

Lizzie, it's like if you were a receiver and you let the defender know your play route, Hasslemouth is a phony and I hope the best for her, I hope her dreams come true and she get's stuck with Faux and vice-a-versa, they deserve each other and I won't have to see her cause I don't watch phony, hate news.

:hi:

[xmas74]

18. That's the best thing that could happen to me.

I'd never have to see her again, the stupid Colleen-wannabe.

(Yep, I watched her on Survivor. I far preferred Colleen on Season 1.)

[merh]

24. It would be the best thing in the world to happen

For the sane members of society that can't stand Faux, she would be gone from sight, no longer allowed to whine the rightie whine of misinformation in public (at lease the public I pay attention to.) Or maybe she could go on the lecture circuit explaining to football players how not to tip off the enemy when getting ready to throw a pass. :eyes:

[xmas74]

28. The second would be much easier for her

to lecture about.

That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard her say.

[merh]

34. Her husband had to explain it to her, those aren't her thoughts.

She isn't a football player trained to know football play books.

It was not only dumb, it was friggin pathetic. Does she not have an original thought?

[xmas74]

37. Of course.

But she can be paid to play parrot.

(Just wanted to add-did you check out Survivor Sucks yet? I go there for most of my spoilers about different shows. They are also great about the reality shows that I might miss or for their live transcription of the internet feeds for Big Brother.)

[merh]

39. I did and I must thank you for the link to the site.

I love it and have bookmarked it.

Sorry, it was remiss of me not to thank you earlier. I love sites like that. If only I were doing graduate work, I'd study sites like that to do my thesis on the unique societies that have evolved with the popularity and accessibility of the internet. :rofl:

thank you again :thumbsup:

[xmas74]

40. You're quite welcome.

Sometimes it's nice to go back to being 12 years old again-just like most of the posters on Sucks must be.

I get most of my spoiler dirt from there.

[merh]

41. Sites like those are great

I need to go check it to see the Desparate Housewives discussion, Eddye hanging herself was such a friggin messed up ending, I don't like endings like that.

[xmas74]

43. I'm sure there is one somewhere.

http://p085.ezboard.com/Desperate-Housewives/fsurvivorsucksfrm16.showMessage?topicID=4112.topic

And here ya go.

[merh]

27. And a link to the intentional snubbing of the nutty lizzie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoFH-BAHqN4

:)

[Shakespeare]

31. OMG, that was GREAT!

I always did like Silverstone. :rofl:

[merh]

36. I'm so glad MrsG mentioned it

I'd have never known to go looking for the link, that was worth the hunt. it was hysterical. Silverstone rocks! :thumbsup:

:rofl:

[xmas74]

8. I want to see it too.

I've been on Survivor Sucks website and the Canadian viewers are discussing it. (Yep, everyone on that site loves a good fight)>

If anyone posts a video over there I'll put up the links here.

[merh]

16. If I find a link, I'll let you know.

Survivor Sucks, I need to check that out, thanks. :hi:

[xmas74]

21. You're welcome.

I love Survivor Sucks. They are into all the reality tv shows, along w/ Lost and Heroes. If you snarkiness you'll love that forum.

http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm16.showMessageRange?topicID=4305.topic&start=4241&stop=4251

[snacker]

13. Same here.

I was anxious to hear how Kathy did.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I don't know why, but I'm curious...

Who is Elisabeth and what's the fight thing all about?

[xmas74]

11. She's one of the cohosts of The View

she's married to a football player, she's a bushbot and she's an idiot.

Check out the political videos forum here-there are a few videos there.

And here ya go. The big one that some are claiming has Rosie deciding not to finish her last few weeks on the show.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=30628&mesg_id=30628

[LynneSin]

15. She's married to a seat-warmer

There are 2 Hassleback QBs in the League (they're brothers). She's married to the one that warms the bench, not Matt - the one that plays and is actually a really good QB.

[xmas74]

17. Exactly.

Her husband isn't worth crap. Matt's the awesome one.

Hell, when I was telling him about her I couldn't even remember what team her husband played for.

[LynneSin]

23. He warmed the benches for a few years in Philadelphia

But I'm not sure where he's warming seats at now

[xmas74]

30. That's the problem.

I can't name a benchwarmer for a team that I don't follow closely.

They seem to think they are the be-all and the end-all, considering she was on a reality show and he warms benches.

[LynneSin]

42. Well I knew that for 2 reasons....

1.) I'm the biggest Philadelphia Eagles fan
2.) He was with Philly when Elizabeth was gaining fame after she was on Survivor

[xmas74]

44. Otherwise

it would have been a google search or hunt him down on ESPN to find the team.

If it's your team you pay attention.

[ElizabethDC]

10. Ohh, I'm sad to have missed it

I adore Kathy Griffin. She'd make a great permanent co-host.

[xmas74]

12. Barbara Walters was supposedly pissed at her.

I don't think they'd pick her as a cohost.

[AlCzervik]

19. at her show she said Barba isn't mad at her anymore--she thinks. The whole

problem was really about Star Jones.

[xmas74]

20. No, this is today.

Barbra stated today something along the lines of "Do you ever want to host this show again", and supposedly it wasn't in a joking manner.

Walters didn't want any mention of the fight and Kathy kept bringing it up.

[ElizabethDC]

22. Yeah, Kathy wouldn't exactly be a safe choice

she'd probably stir up controversy, too. And Kathy used to make fun of Barbara in her act, so I've been surprised to see Kathy on the View at all. But I still think she'd be a nice addition.

[AndyA]

25. Kathy Griffin is a pretty hot commodity now.

She's playing larger venues, and almost always is sold out.

Baba Wawa knows this, and so Kathy will be back on the show, as she draws in viewers who might not otherwise watch. Kathy pokes fun at everyone, including herself, so she's not vicious about it.

If you get the chance to go to one of her shows, YOU MUST GO! Your sides will ache from laughing.

I don't know how much longer she'll be able to sell herself as a D-Lister, as she's doing pretty well.

[libnnc]

26. I can't wait for the new season to start. Love the D-List

I LOVE Kathy!

[ElizabethDC]

29. The first episode of the new season is up on the Bravo website already

in case you haven't seen it. I watched it last night - hilarious.

[xmas74]

32. In the past couple of years

she's been in transformation mode. She's finally learned not to care what people think and to not aim her comedy to the general public.

When she makes her shows for a specific crowd she's spot-on hilarious. When she tries to cross into more mainstream she loses her bite and is just another face in the crowd.

[driver8]

35. Oh God, NO!!! I cannot stand her!!

I would rather jab long, sharp sticks into my ears than listen to her.
