A New "View" Starts Today

[Luscious]

They (it) got better as the week progressed. But it still needs work. It's obvious to me that Rosie is holding back and respecting (or trying to) Whoopi's role as moderator. I still think they should of axed Whoppi and went with an all new panel. Hopefully, she won't renew her contract after this season and Rosie can reclaim the role of moderator. And for the love of Christ, GET RID OF THE COFFEE TABLE.

I actually liked when Whoopi cut her down a little bit. It was a moment when Rosie went into her girlfriends illness and her heart attack for the 100th time and Whoopi just rolled her eyes and said something like " way to much more than anyone needed to hear". I actually thinks as it gels more Rosie Perez is going to come out as the breakout star.

Friday, without a doubt, was their strongest and smoothest show. It felt like it finally "clicked."

[Luscious]

"Friday, without a doubt, was their strongest and smoothest show."

Probably because it was taped.

ETA: I don't know, Dame. Whoopi's a little too dismissive of views that differ from her own. Just because she's the moderator doesn't mean that she should always have the last word on a subject.

[ljay889]

Yes. they all seemed more relaxed.

She just might need a period of adjustment herself. She is used to dealing with Elizabeth, Sherri, and the eternal Barbra Walters interruptions.

Def think Friday was the best, they all seemed more comfortable.

[ACL2006]

I can understand Whoopi being "out of it" last season. She dealt with two idiots with McCarthy & Shepard plus Walters talking nonsense and insisting everyone be quiet when she talked. I think Whoopi is glad to have three new hosts who actually know what they're talking about for once.

[ucjrdude902]

Agreed ACL. I'll also add the 4 of them are spending time together off camera getting to know each other.

The Toronto Star's description of Perez's voice:

"she sounds like Betty Boop, if Betty Boop had been raised in Brooklyn by leprechauns and forced to gargle thumbtacks while inhaling helium"

[lovebwy]

I can't STAND Rosie O'Bumble and her wacky 9/11 conspiracy theories.

That show is a one hour daily tribute to mediocrity and the dumbing down of America.

Rosie is tanking today. Oy.

[Luscious]

Which one?

O'Donnell

[lovebwy]

I predict she won't last the season.

[RippedMan]

I don't know. I love her. And it's my cardio at the gym, ha.

[lovebwy]

I don't get how Rosie O had that weight loss surgery yet she's still fat...

[ucjrdude902]

That was rude. Let's see a picture of you?

Nicole seems to be getting comfortable and with that I think we can expect some good debates.

[lovebwy]

Listen, you know, Rosie puts herself out there as a person who had weight loss surgery. Frankly I can't see much of a difference.

Forgive me. I lost my aunt in the towers and her 9/11 conspiracy theories really rankle me.

[ucjrdude902]

You could stop watching?

Listen, you know, Rosie puts herself out there as a person who had weight loss surgery. Frankly I can't see much of a difference.

For many people, especially those who have been overweight for their entire lives, it's not the rapid, excessive loss it is for others.

[ucjrdude902]

Exactly Jersey.

[lovebwy]

Well, THAT didn't take long...
Whoopi and Rosie O'Donnell come to blows on The Viuew

[Borstalboy]

Rosie O seems determined to sabotage this by making it all about her. As usual.

[Luscious]

Whoopi did cut her off and end the discussion abruptly. She claims it was because she was being told to go to a commercial break, which may very well be true. Coincidentally, she also disagreed with the rest of the panel - not just Rosie O. - on the topic being discussed, which was corporal punishment of young children. As a home viewer, I didn't appreciate her dismissive attitude, and am glad that Rosie spoke up and held her ground. Whoopi stinks as moderator. Frankly, she's never been very good at it, and, in my opinion, doesn't have the smarts for the job.

[Borstalboy]

Standing your ground is standing up to someone degrading you, not grabbing a microphone and putting on a show to show how hurt your feelings are. And she didn't wear an earpiece, which would have helped her to realize that she was going on too long. It kills me to say this (and to defend Whoopi, who has been...disappointing), but I think Trump may have been right about her. She is just an Alpha drama-lez a-hole.
