Watching Rachael Ray

Yay! I love Joy Behar! She’s so snarky. She’s my smart ass hero! Rachael looks cute today -love that belt! But let’s bring on JOY! She even comes bearing gifts, a bowl from her daughter Eve Behar’s Caramics. They chat about what it’s like with Fans, and Joy says she has relate-ability - they sit next to her, and say things like “I just wanted to see you up close.” She says most of her fans are post menopausal, but are lovely and say hello and tell her they like/hate what she says to McCain, etc.

The View is political, now, but Joy inturrupts and says Rach’s voice sounds like hers. She announces she’s getting surgery soon to fix it (In December while the show is on Hiatus.). Joy offers to just go to the kitchen and do it herself. They keep getting distracted - by random hairs, and plucking. “Nipple hairs, those are attractive.” Rachael says that’s so much more then people should know! It’s a delightful chat, really - just two friends chatting as they compare lives.

Joy was recently in Sisily, and they had a GPS that was only speaking Italian, and they ignored it, and then it started begging, and she says she’d never been turned on by her dashboard before! And then it’s back to politics. Rachael says people are saying that it’s been too tough on each other, on guests. Joy points out “It’s called the view - not the NICE view!” It’s how women talk to each other. She knows she argues with Elisabeth mostly, but when the cameras are off, they chat about everything, their friends, and were even talking about the kids just that morning!

They both laugh about talking with their hands - “If I broke my arm I would be mute!”

Rachael wants to know why people assume there’s so much infighting - Joy says people want a cat fight, dog fights are no fun. Men just shoot each other. Women just keep fighting. “And men find it hot.” They compare notes on Bill Clinton - they both find him incredibly charsimatic and sexy, and Joy jokes “You just talk to him and just want to say yes, I’ll come to the oval office!” So - what’s coming at the View? She says Alic Baldwin was on, Tina Fey too, and admit that McCain and Palin were funnier then the other ticket. She doesn’t know what’s coming up, but hey - let’s do some Stump the Rach!

What weird items do we have? First off - Joy brings the house down with an “elephant condom” that turns out to be a Stimulite Body Scrubber. Then there’s The Club Tire Claw, as well - which Rachael gets right away. Next up - Donald Ducks Lips - that’s Joy says it’s for the laziest people in america - it’s an egg cracker - Joy can’t get it to work, so just shows it the old fashioned way. And we finish off with Cellfoam banana Cell phone covers. Yeah, that’s an attractive look. Heh.

After a quick visit to the prep kitchen for a BLD Bacon Treat (mmmmmmm BACON!), we’re back for a Mother-Daughter Makeovers about wishing for what we don’t have. Danielle and her mother Maryann are often mistaken for Sisters, and they even wear the same clothes, by accident! They find it kind of comical in a way. Loriann and her mother have exactly the opposite problem - they look nothing alike at all. You can kinda tell they’re related, but no one would ever believe they were mother/daughter right off the bat. Loriann does say that she gets her butt from her mom - nice. Ha! They’re tastes in clothing is even opposite, trendy vs. conservative. They just want folks to be able to tell their related, at least a little bit.

Gretta’s on the job! But she’s never had a challenge like this, but she loved it of course! She starts with the daughters, where Lorianna is willing to go halfway, as Danielle jazzes and modernizes her look. The mom’s have fun, too, then it’s off to the Salon - moms on one side, daughters on the other. Do they love their look? They do - of course! The ‘twins’ look very different, updated and chic, and tearfully agree they look beautiful and they love their new clothing choices too. Their personal style is individual and fantastic. Did Loriann and Sandy manage to look like their related? Of course - G’s a professional, ya’ll! EVERYONE jumps up with joy for that one - they even have the same dresses on, though opposite in color. They are entirely too cute!”

Dinner time! Cobb Pasta Toss.
