Cute little Elizabeth Polarski (?) from Survivor Australia is on today's The View in a try-out as one of the panelists. She's been married for a year and her new last name is Hasselbeck. She's well spoken and seems to hold her own with the others (including Barbara Walters!). Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton will be one of the guests. Unfortunately, I can't watch the whole show; hope she does well.

Thanks Chiparock! Here in PA, it seems the View repeats all through the week, so I'm looking forward to catching the show with Elizabeth. She was one of my favs that season.

She's been on the tv show "The Look for Less" on the "Style" network for the past year or so

Ah ha, someone from a reality show that is getting more than 15 minutes of fame! Go Elizabeth! She sure is a beautiful young lady, inside and out. Nice addition to "The View".

I'm 'okay' with her getting it, I guess. I missed her week when she was trying out. I just don't understand why they passed Rachel (Real World) over again. She had a great spark. She would have been their "Kelly Ripa" which is what they were looking for in my opinion.

I guess they decided Elizabeth fit that more.

Elizabeth is married to Tim Hasselbeck, the backup quarterback for the Washington Redskins who turned into a star last night against Miami. Tim is the younger brother of Matt Hasselbeck, QB for Seattle. I hate Steve Spurrier, coach of the Redskins, but I want Tim to do well because he's married to Elizabeth.

Is Rachel the brunette? If so, she was really conservative and got into it a couple of times with Joy.

Yes, Rachel is a conservative (that was highlighted during her tenure on Real World San Francisco). She met (on a Real World/Road Rules challenge) and later married Sean (the lumberjack from Real World Boston). I would have loved to have seen her be a regular co-host on The View - but guess she is too conservative for those women. What, they don't like a little discussion and disagreement in opinion??? Too bad, I might have tried to watch it if she was on the show.

Konamouse and Texannie...MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!

Not that I am as conservative as Rachel...because she IS very conservative, and respresents a WHOLE lot of people in the USA and I KNEW when she continued to disagree with Joy Bahar (a FLAMING Liberal) that she had NO chance. Rachel was not my favorite at first...I LOVE ELizabeth, but after watching as Joy and Rachel would disagree on topic after topic, and how hard it was for Rachel to get a word in with Joy around, I started to feel badly for Rachel. I noticed that Rachel never raised her voice or rolled her eyes at Joy's opinions...but THAT certainly could not be said of the behaviour of "professional" Joy. I really thought that "maybe" Barbara Walters was professional enough to see how Joy was acting was wrong to Rachel...and that Barbara would enjoy a little "agreeing to disagree" on her show...but ....NOPE...that would have been COURAGEOUS. Once again....I am disappointed by network television and their politics.

I don't know that Rachel's politics kept her from the job, but that she seemed incredibly amateurish during her auditions...it was especially transparent when she tried to bond with poor Meredith over giving birth. Blech.

I sent an email to Babs when the Debbie, the first, goofy "young" person on the show got canned and I wrote her to say that it was good they were now going to get another person in a young body with a menapausal attitude, which is really what they got in Lisa. Fortunately, they would have had the same thing in either Rachel or Elizabeth, neither of whom seems to "represent" people of my age group better than a jug of Metamucil might. Oh well. Guess we get more of the same canned, corporate, conservative line from those old bitties we always have. TV always plays it safe and gives us the same regurgitated opinions time after time. Name your poison, Ms. Walters, and make me drink from the same choleric fountain.

Joy Behar is ALWAYS loud and opinionated and talks over everyone else. That honking voice just grates on my senses. Her jokes are sometimes funny, but someone needs to tell her to learn some manners. She is very rude. Hope I don't get modded for this, but it is the truth.

MY THOUGHTS TOO, Konamouse and Texannie. I watched every day when Rachel was on. She is pregnant again too and last year when Kelly was having her baby, the women were whining they didn't have anyone pregnant to give birth and get high ratings. Well, had they picked Rachel the first time, they would have. She has 2 children and is expecting her third. She would have been their "Kelly Ripa."

I think the women on the View are extremely liberal most of the time. I too feel Rachel didn't get the job because she came back at Joy with a different opinon on the topics of the day. It was nice to have 2 sides for a change. The day that Joy called President Bush the "selected" President was the last day I watched until Rachel. As a former teacher, she should have her facts straight and not say something like that on TV. They can believe what they want, but should not spout rumors and erroneous facts. Meredith has done it many times also. It has lowered my opinion of Barbara Walters extremely that she lets this go on. It seems like all she is on that show for is to plug her interviews on 20/20. That gets very tiring.

I love Joy's sense of humor, but just wish she would be a little more open minded about the young girls on the show.

Elizabeth is a sweet girl and she may do fine, but Rachel just had a spark and I liked that she didn't always go along with the others' "VIEW." I thought that's what the show was supposed to be about.

I think Joy is hysterical, but I get very frustrated with how the ladies seem to talk over each other and their guests. They really don't seem interested in listening to what anyone else has to say but themselves. I have seen them downright rude to guests who had a different opinion even on fairly "innocent" views.
