The Mole, Jenny, was on the View this AM. She was very open about not liking Trish. As you know, previews are showing her telling Jesse that if he married Trish, she could not be his friend. She explained on the View that women like Trish change the complexion of friendships so, obviously, she and hubby's friendship with Jesse would be different if Trish were in the picture. Star Jones then asked her how the friendship with Jesse was going and Jenny walked right into it. She said that, since the show, the friendship is better than ever! Star whooped and said well I guess that tells us that Trish is GONE! (ie not the final pick)

I like that Jan, it got me going to fort message board, and they posted... /q{One of my friends read in some sports magazine that he *did not* stay with his choice and he was quote to say "now I am even more confused about women than before doing the show"} FORT as well as some other poster thinking they saw jesse with some other woman, not from the show on a date...

Oh thanks for posting this Jan. What a relief! Can I ask a question about the View? I never watch but I've read several people saying that Elisabeth Filarski/Hasslebeck is very annoying on the show. What's your opinion? Oh and I also heard she may be pregnant? True/False/No idea?

I havent watched it in a week, my opinion is I like Elisabeth. The each seem to have a "role" and her role is to bring the 'young' viewers and opinions to the show... she comes across as very respectful, they seem to enjoy teasing her... ie pregnancy... they began teasing her saying if she got pg, it could help boost ratings aka like Kelly Ripa on Regis etc... now that Star is planning a wedding, they've pulled her into the teasing of pg... but I have a memory of her saying to leave her alone from the teasing that she would make be happy to share when the time came ... so not sure if there is more of an update or not...

I'm one of those that find Elisabeth annoying. It seems like she has questions written down for guests. One of the other ladies will ask a question that gets a good conversation going and all of a sudden Elisabeth will pipe up and totally change the subject with her pre-written question.

a few months back, i remember rob schneider telling elisabeth she had best catch on and join in or she wouldn't be needed on the show. not sure if she's a mouse or the others are just air hogs, but she does just sit there a lot or have some not-so-bright comment or question. i also think they seem 'planned', but if the show has veered any, her questions/comments just seem lame. my feeling is she isn't right for the show. but i don't watch a lot because i think some of the others feel they are 'all that' and i can't stand to watch them too often! now gimme my bob barker on 'the price is right'!!

I dont watch this show regularly but what I have seen of Elizabeth, is not great. She is young and this is her first gig so I cut her some slack and I trust she will mature and learn as time goes on. Lisa Ling, who she replaced, was quite candid in an interview saying it was difficult to get a word in edgewise. She did not feel the format a good fit for any young woman. I saw Jenny interviewed on another show and she gave 2 thumbs up for his choice. She did not say anything to indicate they were not still together but she did approve, anyway. Trish is definately gone. .

Think they chew the "young ones" up and spit them out. I have seen Elizabeth on her show "The Look for Less" and she is darling. I think she is still learning the ropes.

Ok 2 comments... I saw Jesse interviewed on Regis and Kelly a couple weeks ago and he said the total opposite of what was posted on FORT (didn't know that board and couldn't find the post but did they ever quote which sports mag said this?). He basically said he made a really good choice, they are still together and things are going great. Now even if that isn't true, I would think he would be under strict orders not to blow the fantasy for the show. As for my on Elizabeth...I don't watch The View a lot, but the times I've seen her on it I didn't care for her and liked her MUCH better on Survivor. One day I watched and forget the topic but found her not only extremely conservative (not the views you think the young one would have lol) but so judgemental it turned me off. I agree it's hard to get a word in with that group but it seems like she either sits there or jumps in and doesn't shut up. I wasn't a huge Lisa Ling fan either...I did kinda like hmmm was her name Debra? The original one who Barbara booted off...I never did hear why. Does anyone know? When her name came up she always gets a look like sucking on lemons lol. I think she did the best job of all the young ones. I hope Elizabeth matures and gets better at it with some experience...weird how she was one of my Survivor favs and each time I've seen her here she's been annoying. Almost forgot...I have no idea if she IS preggers but I did hear her say that one of the reasons she turned down Survivor AS is that her MD said if she planned to have a baby anytime in the next few years she shouldn't do it because it ravaged her body so much the first time. So if she isn't I would think they are planning to start a family semi-soon.

The DJ's on the radio station I listen to in the am are huge Bachelor fans, and they were playing that clip from the View yesterday too and so excited that Trish might be out! Lurk..Debra was an idiot! LOL Did you ever see the Saturday Night live skits about her?

I am a daily View watcher.(In fact, I am watching it this very moment as I type. What a hunk that Denzel Washington is and what a cutie that little Dakota is! and it has taken me so long to type this that now Kelly Clarkson, from the old AI, is on) Yes, sometimes the women can be annoying but at least they have opinions and are well spoken about them.(much like us here at TVCH, TEE HEE HEE). I always liked Star jones best but , since her engagement, I am not so fond of her anymore. She is beginning to irritate me a lot. Joy seems a bit harsher this year too. I especially disliked it when she accused (as a Joke) Caroline of getting ahead with Trump because she was a woman and gave her no credit for her brains. (sure it was a joke but tasteless IMHO) As for Elizabeth, well I was all for her in the hunt for the next host. I really liked her. But my feelings have changed a lot since she has become a regular. She is ultra right wing religious conservative and a rampant BUSH supporter. I happen to be a left wing liberal . I, therefore, find many of her positions hard to stomach. I think many viewers may be coming from my perspective. The hosts of The View are mostly left wing liberal with those viewpoints so most of the audience may be too. I also agree that she often asks her questions out of left field. I remember when one guest, I think it might have been Kevin Spacey, said to one of her questions...(and I am paraphrasing here) "well I'll get to that in a minute but first just let me finish this story I am in the middle of telling." TO get back to Trish...I went to the FORT site in Reader's link (thanks Reader) and they have a quote from a National Enquirer story. Considering the source, the story is probably NOT TRUE but they claim Trish is the stalker, that she makes final 4 and when she is finally cut she breaks in on him when he is on a date with Mandy J. Now remember, consider the source. This may not have even a grain of truth...but at least, I think we can be assured that Trish does NOT make the final 2. FORT LINK

Interesting, if she is the stalker, I hope she doesn't end up somehow looking sympathetic!!! Jan, maybe she provides a balance to the left wing position of the others. I quit watching because of that.

I am sure that's why she was chosen Tex . I think they were trying to appeal to all sides which is a good thing. I don't want her fired or anything. I just don't agree with her position on things. But she is certainly entitled to them.

Thanks for the heads-up on the View, ladies! It's just now 10:00 a.m. here in lovely California, so I'm going to turn it on and see hunky Denzel! I also love Kelly (just saw her in concert with Clay a couple of weeks ago--they were both awesome!). Later!

Hey, thanks to all of you for the 'view' on Elisabeth. I was the same as many, I liked her on Australian Outback, so I was a little puzzled when I kept reading negative reports of her on the show. I did see her once and the recurring theme of breaking in with an inappropriate question at the wrong time definitely rings a bell. I thought it was a one-off, not that it's her regular M.O. I'm surprised that a young'un would be such a right wing religious ultra-conservative BUT I guess they grow them up like that...they don't just suddenly turn that way....once they're 40! lol lol lol (teasin'!)

Hey Rupert, apparently Elizabeth's parents were both hippies ...or at least this is what Meredith was saying the other day. She said that Meredith's own parents were very conservative and she (Meredith) became very liberal while Elizabeth's parents were liberal to the point of being hippy and she became very conservative. She opined that maybe one's political stance was all just a rebellion against one's parents (as a joke)

I watch the View as my schedule allows and enjoy Elisabeth's point of view as it adds balance to the "left wing non-religious ultra liberal" views of the others. Don't get upset, I am just teasing and making a twist of other's description of E! I think that Star and Joy are more annoying/nasty this past year and the talking over each other so that I can't understand what is being said is getting old. I respect Elisabeth for trying to hold her own in that crew. I think that her questions may be queued by the producers talking in her ear to move things along. I noticed that Lisa Ling was the one to move things along in interviews before, E just needs to find the right rhythm to do that.

Hey Beach, I wouldn't get upset at that description. "left wing non-religious ultra liberal". How could I get upset as it is exactly right! (well except that Star is religious). It also is an exact accurate description of me!! and I freely confess it. I agree with you about both Star and Joy. I think these two may be starting to get full of themselves! I still like Meredith though.

Great discussion, you guys and a great filler, while we wait for the next episode of 'Jessie Don't Do It!' (pick Trish that is, hee hee ). Um...I have to admire Meredith...she's has gone through alot, with her poor husband's many health challenges. I'll never forget...I think it may have been the one time I tuned in, they had an expert who spoke of germs in the house (maybe the same guy who was on Oprah recently). Anyhow...he asked each of the ladies to bring a pillow from home, I suppose to illustrate it's time for a new one...well, he took Meredith's pillow...whips off the pillowcase and we were all astounded! The pillow was basically BROWN with stains! Looked like it hadn't been washed or changed in ten years. Was she ever embarrassed!

WOW< I hadnt seen that post on Enquirer, nope my FORT reference was in reference to another article Here is a link to the ESPN online article... ESPN mine was in reference to (but I cant find the thread lol)
quote:I posted a few questions he answered from Sports Illustrated in a thread called "USA Today Article" or something like that. That was one of the questions he answered

Just wanted to chime in to say that I agree with Texannie & Beachcomber. I'm happy that Elisabeth is there to provide balance for the liberal views of the others. I think there are more young people with her viewpoint, we just don't hear about them. As for the Trish spoiler, all I can say is I hope it's true. I can't imagine him picking her & then seeing all of the materialistic & self-centered comments she's made.

It is kind of ironic that the youngest host is so conservative. I remember Elizabeth saying how she was against the OTC morning after pill, as she thought it would promote promiscuity. I look at it as possibly preventing some unwanted teenage pregnancies. As far as hosting and interviewing though, I don't think she is bad at all. On another note, does anyone believe the rumors about Star's fiance, Al being gay?
