Have a great time at The View! Wonder if they will send you a limo! I have to run out the door to work, but I will be thinking of you! Just be yourself and you will do great!

Ross,
You don't believe yourself to be "fancy".

Here's telling you -- You are. You are honest, down to earth FANCY!!

Your little hair stickups -- You have a little devil in you today!!

You'll be G-R-E-A-T!!

Enjoy your day on the View with your Mom!! How Kewl!!

WOW! It's been a great ride. Thanks for taking us with you. I never comment, but love to read and watch. I also wanted to say did you notice how proud Jay is of you as well? He mentioned you on the show the other night, told everyone to watch.

Mimi

ohhhhh I have to say I forgot to put in my information so I cam across as anonymous, oops! I also wanted to say that you are going to do a great job and I agree with Alesha, it would be sooooooo fantabulous if you got the job co-hosting the view!!!! Would that not be fun!!!!

Oops !, sorry didn't mean to post twice !

Ross... Good luck on The View! I know you will rock! If you feel nervous, just remember to picture everyone naked. See yo on The View!

Ok... well I posted a message like 10 minutes ago and it still isn't up. I thought I'd try one more time with my URL because I see one or two still are able to post that way. I haven't had luck clicking on those links, though. Is that just me?

Anyway, I had a nice good luck message for you Ross, but you won't see this until after the fact, so I'm sorry.

Just in case, I pretty much said:

Good Luck! Have a GREAT TIME! You'll do GREAT! Say hi to Kristin for me (Please)

Luv & Peace

No need to worry, no need to sweat it.

Knock em dead!

Ross,
You don't need any advice. You will be awesome because you are awesome.

Forgot to add..I'm headed to the States tomorrow and my fav store Target!..I'll think of you when I get to the sales/liquidation rack. ;)

Ross, I don't know what you're talking about, but you looked just fine when you woke up! When I wake up, I have a giant afro of hair everywhere and my clothes are all disheveled and I look a mess. :] In fact, my hair looks a bit like Magenta's from Rocky Horror if I just leave it down all night. Fun, right?

You're going to do FANTASTICALLY on The View today! You've got your cute little outfit, your coffee, and your enthusiasm and they will see you though!

And I love how you just randomly tell your mom to hide if she's naked. That made me giggle like mad. :]

Okay, that's enough. I hope you have a WONDERFULLLLL time Ross!

ROSS .... Your pajamas are sooo cute .... I love the pants ... :)

Smiling David :)

You'll be great...of course!!! Have a fun time, and take a little time to enjoy the view from the table!!!

Good luck on the view sugar! You won't need it at all and you are adorable. I woke up 3 hours early just to make sure I wouldn't miss it! That's how much the people of your blog love you! Have a fantasmic time and we are all so excited for you!

B~R~E~A~T~H~E

:o)Relax and let your wonderful light shine.
Be yourself!
You'll be fanfreakintastic!!

Hugs n Smiles, Lovey xox

Hi Ross,
I haven't watched The View since you were on last. Can't wait. I stopped watching it since Ro left.
Good Luck you will be GREAT!

Ross - you look hot with that bit of facial scruff going on. Looking forward to seeing you on The View today!!!

Ross,

Congratulations to you on your big day! I must say I have been looking forward to this for weeks - I even took off work early so I could be home to watch you!

Your charm and personality is all you need today - you will do a fabulous job and they are fools if they don't ask you to be the new host!

Good luck to you and knock 'em dead!

Anxiously waiting ~

Allyson & Sadie (ruff!)

Just be yourself. You are charming and funny and dont even try. They will love you.

U don't need luck... just be urself!! ur awesome!! PS Good luck anyway!

Way to go Ross!!! Prayers to you for a grand time! Congratulations....you deserve this!

ROSS,

BEST OF LUCK TODAY!! YOU SOOOOOO DON'T NEED ANY LUCK 'CAUSE YOU ARE YOU!! THOSE LADIES WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM. GO GET 'EM!!!

GOOD LUCK ROSS! YOU'LL BE GREAT!

I almost forgot that today is the day. Break a leg!!! Deep breath and ENJOY. Love, Debby

GOOD LUCK!!

GOOD LUCK ROSS!!! I will be watching you today as well with everyone else. this is my one exception for watching the View since Rosie left.

Lori...PEI, canada

Can't wait to see you this morning. Glad I'm off today and that is a great view from your hotel. Essex House??
Break a leg!
Rick

wow ross. if its 8:30am on the east coast i can only imagine what insane time you must have woken up.

first i wanna say the talky blogs from yesterday were fabYOUlous! it was like christmas or something.

as for today....just be yourself and you will do great! ugh i can't wait. i hope someone is taping it because my vcr doesn't work. someone (blog buddies i'm talking to you) tape it and put it online! that would be awesome.

i have a question. this is for anyone who knows the answer. the rosie cruise...whats the deal with that? can anyone go on there? like...if i wanted to buy a ticket for next year could i do that? it seems like a way better cruise than i've ever been on. thanks in advance for anyone with answers.

good luck ross!!!!!

oops! i'm such a dope. you ARE on the east coast. ok ok that makes more sense. silly me.

Good Morning Everyone,
Just wanted to send well wishes to you Ross. Thank u for taking the time for us normal peeps it does show who u r.

It's your big day!
Stop worrying about what to wear or what to say!
Just enjoy the moment so that you remember it always!
You were picked to go on the View because they love you!

I am so happy and excited for you!!!! I can't wait to see this!!! Like I said yesterday, since Rosie left, I haven't watched the show...but, today my dear...I am TiVo-ing it!! Much love and blessings are being sent your way!!!!

Ross, have a WONDERFUL time on The View! I know you will be fantastic, and the View ladies seem to love you almost as much as we do. Ever notice EVERYONE loves you, Ross?

I got home from Puerto Vallarta last night. It was great, loved it, and wanted to stay a couple more days (and should have!). My daughter came to the airport to get my duty free and bag of pottery souvenirs so I didn't have to lug it all to Las Vegas (and the bottles wouldn't have fit in my suitcase). Then the gate agent decided my dressy patent leather thongs were not dress code and although they gave me the last seat, the real passenger showed up and I had to get off. The agent had talked to his friend at the 3 hr later flt - and she told me I could not get on the plane. Everyone in the area either had on flip flops or tennis shoes - I was looking for someone to trade shoes for a few minutes. lol So I came home. They don't allow employee pass riders to wear flip flops or beachwear, but you'd never wear those shoes I had on to the beach. What do men know? And I wear them for medical reasons. So now I won't go until next week.

Glad to be back anyway...

Wow, to be in your shoes :) Enjoy, and just be yourself. We're all out here routin' for ya. Love from Canada, Bree :) XO

Good luck today Ross!! You're gonna do great! Just keep that winning smile and personality planted firmly in place, and you'll do great! Can't wait to watch it! :)

ross you are sooooo cute first thing in the morning. good luck on the view

ps. you are freaking precious!! i've never seen anyone need coffee as much as you do. its like...oxygen or something. lol. makes me want coffee. i love the smell but hate the taste. you also make tofu look good.

anyway just wanted to say, Love the PJs. too cute. also, what are you talking about? you look hot even when you first wake up. i'm so jealous.

Good Luck..though you won't need it, cause when you are yourself, you're fabulous!! I'll see you in Tivo-land when I get home after work, so as they say in Celebrity-land (which you sooooo are now!!!) 'Break a leg!!!'

Break a leg Ross, you will be great! We will all be watching...Have fun!! Can't wait to see the "behind the scenes" I'm soooo excited for you, geeze!!

just be yourself & every one will love you. Break a leg.

Ross you'll be great today on The View, no worries! :) I love the shirt you're planning to wear, tres chic! NYC is such a fun, magical place. Your blogs & talky blogs are always a lot of fun to read/watch, esp here at work ;)Keep em coming!

Have so so so much fun today and remember when they offer you the permenant job, make sure you only sign a short contract so you can then move on to a fabulous show with Rosie or one of your own. wouldnt that be GREAT! your smile and laugh are infectious! cant wait to watch!

GOOD LUCK ROSS!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ross----cant wait to see you on the View---I always watch when you are on the Tonight Show. You are so much fun to watch and I know you will be great today---Seriously Ross---I am falling in love with you---cant help it---Kiss--kiss(dont tell my husband)

Ross, I LOVED this early morning talky blog...The 2 parts that made me "laugh out loud" were the "pigeon" comment and you "walking 2 blocks past Starbucks"! LMAO

You will be FABULOUS today!! I am so so excited...My Aunt is supposed to watch it also!

I have my brother in SC DVR'ing it(my cable company doesn't offer DVR yet) and I'm going to record it also on VCR! LOL

I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!

East Coast chat?! See ya there!

Ross, this is going to be an absolutely awesome day for you and for those of us who get to watch. : ) I wish you the best today and hope that you have the time of your life!! Go get 'em!

Morning Ross!

Don't overthink it (yeah, right!) just live it!

You'll be frickin' great.

Savor the moment, or all 60 of them, and revel in the joy you bring to so many.

Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Ross, you look hot first thing in the morning!

P.S. Why is it so hard to post a blog these days?

Have fun today!!!

Oh my goat, Ross! You still look sm'exy in the wee hours of the morning, come on!! You got the rugged look and we love it!

Oh Ross, you are such a BEEFCAKE.

The show is in about an hour, got the tea and biscuits ready.

Break a leg!

Ross:

It is nice having you on EST time for a change and not waiting until dinner time to read your daily blog. Also, Rosie thinks you are the new version of Paul Lynde, but I think you are more like Charles Nelson Reilly. You are too fun and too cute and we all love you. Good luck today and I can't wait to get home to watch it on TIVO , ONE MORE HOUR for you!!!

O I forgot, I totally love the suit, great choice and thanks NBC!!!

"Listen, I'm just in the fancy world right now -- I'm not fancy."

Ross -- this honesty is why I love you!!!

Moweenie is so right- don't overthink it- just live it!
Suit looks great and loved the pj's. Its all about the comfort. I have a lovely nightshirt with black labs in red collars all over it that hangs below my knees. My hubby just loves it! (NOT)

Break a leg Ross.

Good Morning Ross,
Break a leg today! We will all be watching. The ladies ripped Perez last week but they will just love you. They better!
I have a question...Did you walk the streets this morning to Starbucks in those $6 Target Jammies? I thought you JUST woke up!????

Have fun today Ross! You are going to be terrific! I will be watching and exactly 1 hour for you to cohost on the FREAKING VIEW!
I love the outfit you are going to wear. I am so excited for you.
Laurie

GOOD LUCK! I can't wait to watch you today! You're going to be so awesome. Enjoy every moment of it. We'll be here waiting for you on the flip-side.

XOXOX

Julie

Have fun Ross, I'll be watching!

YOU WILL BE AWESOME ROSS! HAVE FUN, AND ENJOY THE VIEW!

Sarah.........GREAT song!!! I've been singing it the entire time I was scrolling down the blog. I think it's going to be stuck in my head all day.

Smiling David :-)....how are you doing????

Count down is 53 minutes until we all witness Ross living out his dream.

How cool is that?

~~Hello, I'm Sandy and I'm a RossnRosieaholic~~

I am so excited for you Ross! I am even taking the day off work so I can be home and watch you do your thang!

How cute are you in your jammies!!! What a gorgeous view! 50 minutes til show time I cant wait!

I loved waking up to this talky blog! The pigeon altercation was hilarious! I hope you share that on The View. You will be amazing on The View today. I CANNOT wait...my TiVos are set!

Smooches!

I think I need to get him a helmet to protect him from the pidgies! Maybe we could get some sponseers like the race car drivers have, hmmmm Im thinking Starbucks and Target for starters!

I am so excited for this morning....and excited for Ross! Ross, you are going to be so great on the show. I don't know why they wouldn't want you to be a regular. You are going to be great I'm sure! Have a wonderful time today and I'm fairly certain that you will love every minute of it.

Where's Mame, Biscuit, Jacny, Glynis, etc.?!? LOL
Wake up people! T-MINUS 45 minutes until our Ross-ola on The View!!

p.S.-Rhiannon, thanks for the myspace add!:)

FYI....there is no way Rosie is going to do that show with DT. There is a whole article about it on MSN, but the gist is that she never would have agreed to that. It's all just gossip.

What are we Joey chopped liver ? Hee HEE

No - thank you Joey!! :)

Hymenoptera, Kevin T., Danny, JenJen, Annie!?! LOL

I usually can "talk" people up;)

and he's not just ON The View..he's frickin' co-hosting! WOOHOO!

Ross!!! You are so handsome and fabulous. and such a ridiculous liar ... saying crap about you being icky in the morning! You are totally hot and cute in the morning!!!

advice: 1. don't forget to breathe. 2. you are fabulous and therefore the view wants you and therefore no matter what you say or do you will be totally fabulous.

love u lots!!!
andrea

haha showgirly--NO! I love you all.well, most! LMAO

I just was missing my regular peeps who I go way back with from the beginning of Rossland! LOL

as we say in the dance world

"MERDE"

but you don't need it-
I am gonna watch for the first time since Ro left..

Hugs.

I hope he brought a clip of Louise saying "i love you" BW will go bananas since her dog dog it too. They will bond instantly.

Break a leg, Ross

I never watch the View, but I am totally there today!

Can't wait to see you!

You'll be fabulous Ross...

And when you get home -- put a buck in the bargain brag jar. LOL - $6 jammies.

Thanks for sharing your big day with us.

Yeah Joey,
what ARE we, chopped liver? Huh?

LOL

Joey...come join us in chat... there are a couple of us in here!

I meant dog does, geez o man Im so excited I cant even type! I can FEEL the love Joey. lol

Ross and blog budddies have to drop hubby off for another business trip. Will check back later!

Trying to decide whether or not to come back to comments or wait until the View comes on here on the west coast at 10:00 am.

Read comments or not? Or see it fresh! I can't decide. Oh poo! I guess I will debate this issue in the car.

Back later Love to all and welcome New Rossaholics!

Meli,
Anybody can go on Rosie's cruises = straight, gay, family, single. Go to her site & read info posted

ChicagoSandy...welcome!! Great to always see so many new faces here! :) Sorry about the song stuck in your head! LOL ;)

Joey, Auntie set her alarm to wake up in about another 20 minutes..she's calling me before the show! I am taking an hour break from my work so I can watch it! I can't wait!!! :) BTW, I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you said " Ross-ola"! LOL It's catchy, huh? ;)

Huge highly caffinated hugs to all! LOL!

Sarah

I

Hello! 30 minutes from now until The View with Ross!

Um...am I the only blogger that has butterflies in their belly for Ross-ola? LOL

OMG, I need to quit posting here and get back to work! It's this damn coffee! LOL

Hugs,
Sarah

Take a little time to ENJOY THE VIEW :-) Good luck Ross!! You'll be GREAT!! Since Rosie left, I haven't watched the View at all but I will be watching today!! xoxo

What a view from New York! We left there on Saturday and we miss it. Hope you have a great day on The View!

Yes ross, Good luck on the view. Just breath and enjoy your time. ON THE VIEW!!! HUGS

Yay! It's so nice to wake up to a talky blog! As always, thanks for making time for us on the BIGGEST DAY EVER!!

OK, I need to admit something...I had an 11:00 meeting and I moved it to 11:30, so I would not miss a moment. Did anyone else rearrange today's business or personal lives for The View?

Ross, you will be amazingly fabulous. Good luck and God bless!

t

Good luck, Rossalicious!!!!

P.S. Save a sidewalk... kick a pigeon!!

Joey- how did the blind date go?

Shhh, dont tell anyone, but there is a tv here at work in one of the bosses office's and if luck holds no one will be here but me when the show starts- so I plan on sneaking in and watching...

Good luck Ross ;) you will be just fine. I cant wait to see you on the VIEW!!! woohoo! :)

BTW Ross - When is Starbucks going to start paying you for all the endorsements you give them? You should at least have a lifetime coffee card by now!

Good luck! :o)

OMG MOM_Ross in the audience!!
I'm freaking out! Ross looks so amazing!!!!!!:)

I would go in chat, but I know I'd be distracted and I really don't wanna miss a thing!

Go Ross! I have the DVR set for the view, i can't wait!

It was so fun to wake up this morning and hear you on Kent and Alan...here in Seattle!

have a GREAT day, i'm rooting for you!

DRAMA Already!! JOY just said "Let Ross talk" to Elisabeth! LOL

What's sad is that Elisabeth looks good today and I love her shoes! LMAO
(can u say cleavage?)
Why does she have a footstool now?!

Why on earth is Joy's chair SO FAR away from Ross!?! LOL

Okay, stepping away from the laptop to watch! LOL

OMG ROSS JUST SAID MY BLOG BUDDIES READ MY BLOG WHEN JOY SAID "WHO READS IT?"! YAHEE, ROSS GAVE US OUR SHOUTOUT! lol

GOOD LUCK ROSS! You are going to be FAB-U-LOUS! I can't wait to watch The View when I get home from work. I'm DVR'ing it!

watching you right now ross! loving it.. the only way i'll put up with some of those voices - to see you!

Joey...I think her chair is far away because of the camera shot...they need to be able to get her in with EH on that side shot....BTW...can I re-add you to my myspace page? I started a new one a while ago!

Ross - I love your personality, you are adorable!! Your mother is a lucky lady to have such a sweet son. Good luck on the View!! You lift people up and make us laugh and your very relatable. Please don't ever change. I read Perez Hilton's blog but getting tired of his mean ways and in person he has nooooo personality! Could never get tired of you, been a fan from the beginning.....rock the View Ross!!

ohh ANGEL..thanks! Sure! Add me!

myspace.com/ajoebloe

It's the first commercial! You did great! Way to stand up for what you believe...OF COURSE there is karma...come on Joy!

You should be very proud of yourself...not an easy table to sit behind.

Ahhh! How exciting! ;] ;]

Ross,
You are doing sooooo well!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

Hi Ross, Congrats on view day!! I'm watching it right now, commercial is on.. Karma YES.. if Joy rolls her eyes again at something u say i'm going through the tv luv u and hope u mention ROSIE!

You're 16 minutes into the show as I'm typing this (commercial break) and are doing so well! You're a breath of fresh air on that panel, Ross, and you look great.

Ooops...gotta go....you're back on!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
its the commercial! he is sooooooooooo GREAT!

OK PEOPLE - start the write in campaign NOW

we want MORE ROSS

im just sayin....

I think they gagged Ross about mentioning Rosie or even her cruise. Notice that he didn't mention the cruise, only that he had recently been to buffets.

his clothes look so boring. he definitely needed a stylist's help that would have been knowledgable about TV wardrobe.

Rosie - the name that dare be mentioned on the View. Star who? Green Tea for Bill Geddie, a right-wing closet mo.

Ross is doing very well, glad he's having his say, only wish he was more politically astute. Vitter owes the Clinton's an apology.

I'm watching you right now on the View and you look FABULOUS! I knew that you would do fantastic:) Love you and Ro and never miss a blog! Courtney

Just wanted to let you know that you are doing an absolutely terrific job!!

I am so proud of you!

Enjoy your hour in the spotlight! Have fun!

OMG ROSS!!

You look SOOOOOOOO handsome on the view!!! Well you are handsome all the time but come on especially so this am!! GREAT OUTFIT!! You are doing so great there.....has to be hard to get a word in!! Joy seems to be in bad mood or something.... not being too nice IMO but you are just going with the flow and being yourself!! That is what we love so much about you! And I so believe in KARMA!!

Also thank you for your AM blog..how great of you to do that and LOVED the view from your room....you show us so much so many of us would never see!! Thank you for doing that for all of us!

You are so terrific!! Thanks for all the joy you give out!!

Cari

SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT, I POSTED ON YESTERDAYS BLOG AT THE BOTTOM. HOW COULD I HAVE NOT CHECKED THE DATE????? ROSS/SWEETIE, LOVE WAKING UP WITH YOU.

Amy P, thanks for asking about my Bozie Boy(boxer). Vet is helping me and he is resting very well. no problems so far. ROSS, SWEETIE, YOU ARE DOING GREAT. LUV LUV LUV

OMG joy is soooooo negative today - whats up with that?

WTF? McCain doesn't pander? What kind of pipe is that Elisabeth Hasselcrack smoking?

Ross, you are so amazing today on the View, a true joy to watch, don't ever change!

You look a little lost there bud, Keep up the good work. HUGS AND REMBER TO ENJOY THE VIEW

So far, you are kickin royal butt!!

eeeeegads I wish I was watching the Veiw with you guys right now!!!! I still have an hour and a half wait...I feel like the Mervyn's commerical open..open..open...lol

Mom: Please let us know if you like that pillow they gave away today on The View. (Not that you will need it for the snoring aspect.) I would love to get one of those for my husband!

Ross: You're doing great and you look wonderful!!! I am so happy for you! I wish I could give you a big hug after the show is over.

I am new here 3rd post ever, commercial again.. Why is Barbara acting like ross is too much for her.. I haven't watched this show since RO left, only watching 4 u Ross, u LOOK GREAT, and they should SHUT UP and let you talk! Joy acting like a beyaaatch, Eliz is a beeyaaatch. You are better than them Ross and much more entertaining and informed! wish they let you get your VIEW heard. U r the best!

Is it just me or is Barbara being rude to our Ross? She is making me very angry!!! Ross you look wonderful you are wonderful ignore Barbara's rudeness.

(I am new to post) I turned on the view to see Ross today ... Is it ME or are all of the ladies mean to Ross? I haven't watch the view since Rosie left but WOW they are being mean to Ross! That's just my opion. Anyone else?

Way To Go Ross!!

Great Job!!

ok blog buddies:

if you go to the view website you can e-mail Barbara

WE WANT MORE FREAKIN' ROSS!

lets all do it! start now!

fun fun fun

they r really good at being evil without Rosie, the "Queen of nice" to slap them down.....Babara needs to stop it. the hag!

Ross you are doing a FABULOUS job on the View! and you look amazing!! mama ross you look beautiful!! so happy for you doll!!!

Ross you are doing a FABULOUS job on the View! and you look amazing!! mama ross you look beautiful!! so happy for you doll!!!

IMHO, the ladies are not acting that welcoming to Ross!:(:(

I sense a lot of "bitchiness" today on the show!!!!
They are barely letting Ross talk!

what's with barbara's attitude with ross? she is so annoying, practically homophobic as if he might give her cooties. her eyerolling at ross, OY!

i agree that his outfit is terrible. never ever use a personal shopper to pick out your clothes. their main concern is usually on their commission. he definitely should have used a stylist. maybe he'll learn from this. it's okay, he's young.

ok, NEVERMIND! not sure we want Ross on that show with all that negative energy!
Jacqui- i agree, Barbara seems to think Ross is too much - too bad for her!

Watching Ross right now..doing good Kid..
Think Bab's kind of made a point of saying there wouldn't be a male co host very often..
But I'm sending her an e-mail anyway..

Anyone having trouble loading Rosie's new Jahero blog?/

they r really good at being evil without Rosie (queen of nice) to slap them down.

If I was Ross I would have walked off the show. They won't let him speak and are treating him like a joke!!!

Get me the name of that Pigeon, I'll give him a what for if he thinks he can mess with my Ross, Sweetie. HOW DARE THAT BIRD. PIGEONS, THEY JUST HAVE NO MANNERS, POO, POO ANYWHERE THEY WANT.

Yahee..Ross did the audience shoutout teaser!! He said "WOOHOO"! LOL

Yes, I think Barbara is being kind of rude and I think Joy is being very bitchy. I hate this show. I'm only watching today because of our Ross.

Is it just me, or is BW being a bid rude.? Why is she acting so uncomfortable.?

Yeah, and when Ross made the mistake of saying Dana Delany's movie was filmed in NC and not SC, Barbara corrected him and gave him an evil look! She's acting so odd today!:(

i am only watching the view because of Ross. I also only watched the view because of Rosie. I will not watch the view again. barbara is being so icky toward my Ross. what is her problem? that EH just blabs the same GOP talking points and lies. she is toxic. stay out of her orbit.

40 min down and 20 min to go ... its been a great show so far ross :)

I'm so excited for you. Just one more hour and 20 minutes and I'll be here in my own bargain rack jammies, enjoying my morning coffee, and enjoying you on The View!
Good luck.

Ross, ( my newest online luv right up there with Rosie ), they do NOT DESERVE U! This is making me so very angry, we all waited to HEAR ross, and what's the crack from Joy about " who reads your blog" Ross you have more luv than they do combined! They have shown their TRUE COLORS today. Last time I'm watching the view. The Rosie and Ross variety show will be FABULOUS! ( i can dream )
Peace and Luv and I promise this is my last post today.. so sorry to take up space, but they are just too RUDE TO ROSS the nicest kindest guy on TV!!

Birdee..We were typing practically the same thought at the same time! LOL

ROFLMAO@Ross wearing a "scarf coverup" over his pants during the beachwear segment with ElisaBITCH!

Good Luck Ross you will do great!

these witches need a lesson in making a quest host feel welcome.
I have not watched this train wreck of a show since Rosie left and I did not watch it before she came.
And I will not watch it again.
I was so looking forward to this morning......but so far I am very disappointed in the way Ross is being treated...

Ross is doing great, holding his own but he does kind of look like Mr. Howell. Not so much liking the white footwear. I do not care for all the eyerolling by the ladies either!

Ross needs his own show!! HE is wonderful and REAL!! I do not think I can watch THE VIEW anymore....not that I watched much after Rosie left but now after seeing Barbara and Joy like they were this am CAN NOT watch anymore...
I would pay to watch Ross do a show! Just down to earth and real and so very enjoyable!
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ROSS!!
Thank you for being you!

We love you!

Cari
A blog buddy...OF WHICH YOU HAVE MANY!!!! :)

my new e-mail to The View will say "why were you so bitchy today" and "STOP" with the rolling of the eyes, its RUDE!"

WOW, I commend Ross for being so kewl with Elisabeth during this segment..They're joking around and everything..It shows a lot about our Ross' character!:)

Elisabeth said "Onezee" or "onesie" and he said he loved when she said the word!

ROFLMAO@Ross modeling his sarong! TOO FUNNY!

Ross - kudos to you for keeping your positive attitude and high spirits in the face of the moods around you at that table!!! What's up with them today?...oh, right, they're like that all the time. You need a show with more happiness and good energy!!! Hope you had fun though!! You're doing a great job...in spite of them!

stalker alert

Joey from VA, COOL, I'm so wrapped up in this, I haven't had a chance to check all posts. Great Minds tho.

Ross will be warned that a stalker(Karen) has posted his personal info

Message 355-097

Hey Ross, Only watching The View today because you are on. You totally rock. What is Barbara's problem? Mean!! Digging the sarong!

Barbara needs to get LAID

First time poster..long time lurker.
I just wanted to chime in about this show.
I am so disgusted at how Ross is being treated. Usually they ask the guest host about what they have been doing, what they are up to, etc. They have not let him say hardy a word. I for one think he is too good for this and I would rather see him with someone that appreciates him, rather than this venue. In that respect I will not be writing for him to fill that seat. Sorry Ross! I love you and want to see you in a place that you are loved.

I can not get Rosies' vblog to run either.

kimpossible..

Gonna do the same thing!
Not that they will care but I will feel better!

I'm so bummed reading all your comments, I have to wait until the View comes on in 15 min. I was so hoping the ladies would embrace Ross, they soooo need him or some other uplifting spice on that show, just can't get into it since Ro left.
What's up with the stalker stuff?

Julia C. HASSLECRACK, too too funny. LOL.

I love Barbara but damn she was a bitch today. You look suuuuuuper hot, Mr. Ross!!! So proud!!! Way to move over the model and make room for Ross!!! haha. Love you!

how funny that Ross did that whole segment with a sarong wrapped around him!

OH I WANT TO REACH RIGHT IN MY TV AND SLAP EVERY ONE OF THOSE "B's" IN THE FACE. I THINK THEY SET HIM UP JUST LIKE THEY SET UP ROSIE. I HAVEN'T WATCHED SINCE ROSIE AND I WILL NEVER EVER TURN ON THAT STUPID SHOW AGAIN!. THEY ARE BEING SOOO RUDE TO ROSS. WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE EYE ROLLING FROM JOY AND BARBARA. ELISABETH SHOULD WATCH WHAT SHE WEARS (CLEAVAGE) AND KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT; ALL SHE DOES IS WHINE WHINE WHINE.
ROSS YOU DID A GREAT JOB CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TIME THEY GAVE YOU TO TALK. LUV YOU ROSS

Kristen Chenoweth looks GORGEOUS!! Pay close attention to her beautiful "glittery and sparkly" eyes!:) WOW!
At least they let Ross introduce her!

I personally think Barbara is homophobic! :(

OMG Ross you're such a nice person. I know your mom probably know that but she must be sooooo proud of you. you're such a good character. now that i've said that....wtf is rolling of eyes is all about? I'm just enjoying the view while you're still on. After today I won't be watching the view anymore.

how funny that Ross did that whole segment with a sarong wrapped around him!

Let's start a petition...

now i know why
i stopped watching
the view~~

all 3 ladies
r way out of line
monopolizing every
segment..
what the hell was
joy yelling about

they don't seem
welcoming at all

ross:
u r doing great
so very handsome
keep smiling..

HEY BLOG BUDDIES!

I've been peaking in, but so busy with little Hayden that I haven't been able to comment recently!

BUT I had to comment today! So exciting!

Ross looks wonderful... he's doing so great - just real!

I think Bab's eye rolling and "oh Ross" attitude is just an act. You can tell that deep down she loves Ross. Remember she was the one to ask for him back!

I can't help but thinking about how much more fun it would have been if Rosie and Ross were on at the same time!

Anyway -- miss you all blog buddies! Congrats Ross!!!

Ross, what went on at the meeting that made these woman
so uptight today?
It is making me so uncomfortable..
I would rather see you on a show
with Rosie..I don't think these ladies know how to accept a handsome young man like you..

Considering what and who he has to work with I think Ross is amazing on The View today. True to himself and a positive joyful aura around him. Way to go Ross!!

I'm watching you right now and I can't stop smiling. You're a natural, Ross!!

I am so mad with Joy and Elisabeth. They keep cutting you off. Atleast Barbara's nice. You're doing awesome Ross when they do let you talk.

And OMG- Kristen Chenoweth! LOVE HER.

Even if you're not on The View, it's ok. Atleast I will still be able to watch you on the Tonight Show! :)

Ross looked good with Elisabeth in the beachwear segment...she's the only lady that seems comfortable with him...maybe the left leaning BW & JB are just good at talking the talk and not so good at being truly inclusive.

BW really not being gracious...she knows how to treat people but not so much today.

Joy seems pissed off...eager to embarrass both guests & cohosts.

Liz & Ross are only ones acting normal towards each other & towards guests.

i so hope that rosie gets a show that runs opposite the View and takes away their viewers.

EH has no one to take her on like Ro did whenever EH spews her BS republican propaganda.

the split screen episode of the View with Rosie was the Oliver Factor/Jump the Shark moment.

The View: RIP

I can't believe there was no mention of the cruise or Rosie. I totally agree that they warned him about mention Rosie. how disgusting considering that Rosie took the entire View audience on her cruise and paid for it out of her own pocket, not ABC's. Bill Geddie, Baba Wawa, EH, all repulsive.

i think everyone should email barbra and tell her she was very rude im sure she would do an on air apology ... ross deserves better

And then when the View went off, Barbra tell ross to hush. Man she is being very RUDE!!!!

i realize barbara walters is to be respected but how DARE she tell ross to 'be quiet and enjoy the view'.... that was just plain tacky....

Ross you were great. But it's hard to get a word in edgewise with those biatches. You are too GOOD for them.

Shut up Elizabeth! More Ross please!

OMG that hour flew by! I can NOT believe Barbara told Ross to hush at the end! WOW! I feel so badly for Ross! He deserves better treatment!

OMG - Did Barbara just tell you to hush?

You are too good for the View, Ross. Those B's are just huge losers.

great job on the view today, ross! you gave the show such a positive vibe. i felt uncomfortable for you a couple of times, though.. but you handled everything well! we love you! :)

Mom_Ross -

You must be so proud of your young man!

He has exhibited grace (under fire) and humor and is a reflection of the way he was raised.

Bravo to you, Mom.

The hosts of the View could learn a lot from the young man that sat in that chair today, especially the matriarch of that show.

I missed the very end..What happened , what did Barbra exactly say??????

bitches were rude! Ross you were the only good one!

Hiya,
I just went to abc/theview to let Barbara know how disappointed I was with how she treated Ross. The *eye rolling,holding her head* She invited him to the show as her guest. Does she not know how guests should be treated in ones home?

Ross you were wonderful and very much loved!!!

The behind the scenes will tell the TRUE tale!

Ross, you are far too good for these ladies. They can't see a good thing if it slapped them up the side of the head. This is not the show for Ross to be a co-host of.

Joy seems to have taken her bitchy pill this morning. Barbara almost seems to be ignoring him.

Considering Bill used to sit his fat ass in the front row for so long -- to play like a shy person not wanting to come out -- give me a break.

Ross -- you were great!! You really worked it considering you had nothing to work with.

ROSS!!! You did wonderful! I am sorry that they were not letting you speak, but perhaps your own show will be "found" because of this appearance!

We all love and support you!

Congratulations!!!
~AmyLou

Jahero is posted on rosie.com
It's been there since 11:17 LOL

Ross.....you did GREAT!!!!! You looked FANTABULOUS!

You, are TOO good for that show however! Barbara has become soooo rude in her old age....she really needs to kept off the air at this point, and Elisabeth and Joy....their in their own world!

It was nice to be on, but you are so above that my friend.....GOD has bigger and better plans for you, then to sit on air with a bunch of uptight, rude wenches! They should have been praising your presence, not the other way around! You deserved to be treated better.....forget that lame show! Its in the toilet!

((((HUGS)))) you are the BEST, and I so enjoy you :)

ROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ROOOOCCCCCKKKKSS!

Ross you were so BRILLIANT!!!!!

I can't wait to go home and watch it. It sounds like they really don't treat there co hosts very well unless they are regulars. Did you see when Perez was on they were SUPER RUDE to him. Bitches and haters is all they are. Ross is just the cutest thing ever!

You know - I think Babs is just trying to be funny and silly. You know how she just looks weird when she tries to be funny. Funny really isn't her thing and it always comes out rude sounding or just bizarre! I kinda think thats what's happening with her today. I don't think she really was trying to be rude.

We love our Ross -- so we're just protective!

Joy thinks that Phil Hatman's death is on Andy Dick's head. She is a complete AHole. I mean really. Ross, Im glad you spoke up and put her in her place. I can't stand her.

Ross you are IT! U looked great, sarong was fab, best part of the show! my ? is why did Joy question Kristen about her being a christian and posing nude, why not ASK ElisaBITCH how can she be PRO LIFE AND PRO WAR? Get away from them Ross they are toxic to your kind sweet pure self. WE LOVE YOU ROSS!!

ross, please tell me, did they tell you that you could't mention the cruise or rosie? i will never watch that show again. i only watched it because Rosie was on and because of you. enjoy your lunch! are you going to stop by Rosie's home today?

Ross - you were wonderful co-hosting THE VIEW. I hope the experience was everything you had hoped it would be.

I, and I'm sure many of your blog buddies, are very proud of you.

Congratulations!

Ross you did sooo good. If you were always the co-host I would actually watch it all the time! I agree with everyone above.. I wish you could have talked more!!

You were fantastic today! Can't wait for the next Talky Blog and updates as a co-host of The View!

Ross,
What a gracious guy you are...to treat all of your co-hosts with respect.

One can only imagine what you've encountered in your life due to stereotyping. It seems that you try hard to refrain from being judgmental, but you did offer a semi-negative comment about Republicans.

It may surprise you, but many Republicans have many gay friends. It's not accurate to paint all in a political party with a broad brush.

The media would have everyone believe that all Democrats are soft on security and that all Republicans are intolerant.

I hope you don't assume that every Republican you meet is your enemy.

You handled yourself with dignity on The View. Your Mom should be so proud!

All the best to you and your family.

I'll ask again...What did Barbra say to Ross at the end?

ok, i for one have sent in my e-mail to Barbara at the view - ive copied it in case anyone else wants to do the same

To Barbara:
Whats is with the attitude today? Its too bad you cant embrace the light and joy that is Ross! You should embrace your co-hosts, the eye rolling is so rude! And then telling him to be quiet at the end! I have watched your show from the begining but you lost me today. I will no longer enjoy the view from your table.

Peace out blog buddies! sorry for all the posts today!

I agree --Ross is too good for the view and a show with Rosie would be great.

BW was not gracious toward him most of the time and they did not let him talk about his personal life much at the beginning like they do other first time co-hosts. I love Ross's excitement for life and clapping, and it seemed to annoy BW and I found that disrespectful. She also told him to be quiet and the end. She is too fuddy duddy for me.

(Also EH looked quite orange today--too tan--but was in a pretty blue dress.)

Ross I think you were great--I think the women need a few lessons in manners!

I am normally positive but needed to share my neg. thoughts today.

Maybe Perez and Mario going before Ross made the View tentative about his appearance. I find Ross to be a shining star way above those 2 and there is no comparison.

The View needs to get a clue!

You Rock Ross!!!!!

Ross, YOU were wonderful. Barbara and the women were rude as hell to you! They kept telling you not to speak and all that.It's the freakin' VIEW..aren't you supposed to have one?? And what was with Joy and the "gay" remark?? Your sexual orientation is none of her freakin' business!! It seemed as though they just wanted you to sit there and look around like an idiot. You have waaay too much personality for that show..and you're too nice(they're all bitches!).I hope you get your own show and that Karma (that doesn't exist)comes around and gives those girls a taste of their own!

Well, I couldn't really tell how they treated Ross... any eye rolling action was not visible through the web (Thanks, Yooka! It was great!) but what about Mom being on national television!!!

Way to go, Mom!!!

Hey Ross...gotta admit to not knowing you before Todays View...but i like what I see..cute and funny...more power to ya, you held your own today with the ladies! Keep up the good work and good luck in whatever you choose to pursue.

Ross, WOW! You showed such class!

Barbara, I thought you were more gracious than that! wtf Shame on you!

The only one who enjoyed Ross and was nice to him was Elizabeth.

The whole thing just surprises me.

Barbara said "Take a little time to be quiet and enjoy the View"

OMG ! Barbara told Ross to "BE QUIET AND ENJOY THE VIEW" at the end of the show.. If you taped the show rewind the last 10 seconds of the show and play it in slow motion. Ross looked so hurt when BW told him to Be Quiet. Look of shock and hurt on his face. Poor Ross. I will be sending an email to all of them. They probably got the biggest rating today since the day Rosie left and now they will have NO ONE watching. BOYCOTT THE VIEW!! Much admiration to you Ross for staying on the set. It proves what a class act you are. I would have walked off the set after the first 10 minutes.

Ross, I thought you did a great job today. I felt Barbara was rude to you. I'm afraid doing that job daily would totally bring you down and you would lose your great energy. Get a gig with Rosie...not ladies who wouldn't even let you talk. Barbara made it clear she never wanted a man on the panel. You totally Rocked!

I took a deep breath & tuned in today only to support Ross. OMG.

Ross, you are a lovely person who exudes light & happiness. Offering yourself up to those 3 nutjobs is clearly a case of pearls before swine.

My only hope is that you do not take ANY of their behavior personally. You are fabulous; they are toxic.

BTW, I think you looked great, too! Take away lesson: YOU are why people turned in today. You are loved!

Hey Ross, I just watched you on The View and I thought you did a great job. I was disappointed in BW. Did anyone else catch her rolling her eyes and some of her facial expressions? I thought she was rude. Of the three ladies I would have to say EH appeared to be the nicest (you don't know how hard that is for me to say, cuz I can't stand her!)to you. IMO

I had to stop reading the comments when The View came on on the East coast and people started commenting on it. I want to see it all "Fresh and new" when we finally get it here on the west coast.

Must say tho, Ross... you look darn good in the morning compared to what I look like when I drag my sorry butt out of bed!! But, like you, first thing I need is that COFFEE!!!!

Anyway, I won't say good luck (since you've already done the show) but I will say how proud we all are of you, and thank you for including us in your excitement!

Luvs ya

Ross, you were GREAT! The ladies, not so much! Thanks for the shout out to us blog buddies!

Back to work for me! I have you recorded and will watch again tonight!

Make it a great day blog buddies!

Hey Ross..you were the best..only one thats real and with class..you looked so handsome too!!!!!

Probably shouldn't say this but those are 3 bitches in a row boat..sorry bout cussing but that was the nicest word I have for em..Ross guest host if you must..never do full time

I forgot to say I can't get into rosie's site either.

Ross, You just always shine and I think you know what the important things in life are.

Very Fondly

Grandma Moses

Man, it steams me to see anyone come even close to being rude to Ross! Not do defend her but I think Barbara is so old that she just doesn't get it. Ross, I thought you did FANTASTIC!!!! You were cute, funny, adorable and you should be so proud. I love you, I would bark it but cannot compete with Louise (give her a kiss from me). Cannot wait to see your talky blogs. You rock!

Ross, Darling!

45 min. till the view

I luv ya ~

xoxo

you are
fab
goodlooking
smart
kind

WE ALL LUV YA HERE~
YOUR THE

THE BEST!!

Ross ~

You were absolutely WONDERFUL on The View today!! I teared up when you walked out and had a smile on my face for the remainder of the show!

Well done! I'm looking forward to the day you get your own show! How about the blog buddies be your audience ? Just a thought! :)

I hope you had as much fun doing the show as I did watching it!

Kudos ~
Allyson & Sadie (ruff!!)

you were great as expected on the view
i love that you are not fancy and that a bargin means something to you
keep it real ross!

re: anti-gay GOP

Serena-

actions speak louder than words, and it always seems that the repugnicans are the ones spewing anti-gay rhetoric and sponsoring anti-gay legislation. meanwhile they are the ones that are getting caught offering undercover policemen 20 bucks if they can give them "windy work." Ask, FL State Rep. Bob Allen about that one. and i agree with joy, they are hypocrites.

it seems that the repuglicans might brag about being inclusive and having gay friends, but then why are they always throwing them under the bus?

i love my gays and only hope that one day they will get equal treatment under the law and i will fight alongside them for their rights.

Ross you were great and looked FAAAAAbulous! You threw to commercial like a pro after Kristen Chenoweths segment!

BW needs to retire, she did not handle herself well at all. What was with the comments and eye rolling??!! And Joy had a bug up her butt.

Truth be told, Ross you are a strong and talented presence a force to be reckoned with and the women today obviously felt threatened. They did not want you to steal the limelight. You outshined everyone Ross GREAT JOB!!!!

Babsy started with a slam
"You think they are here for you"
and ended with a slam.

Well, Babsy, a whole bunch of us were there only for Ross, and won't be back.

Joy, who claims to have been friends of Rosie, for 20+ years should have been the kindest to her friends friend, yet she was just as rude and maybe even the worst.

EH, bless her heart, actually seemed to be the closest thing to a co-host.

Ross, hun, you are much, much better then the View.

Ross,

I think you did an amazing job. Smart, funny and intelligent. I don't quite know about Barbara??? How did you feel with her??? She seemed a bit snotty at times, so did Joy. Maybe they don't like playing second fiddle to YOU!! On a funny note, my 11 year old son came in the room while I was watching you. HE KNEW WHO YOU WERE!! He said " hey, is that Ross from Fit Club?" See, you are officially FAMOUS!

Best of luck and we are so proud!

Gina

Ross - you were absolutely fabulous on the view today. I stopped watching after Ro left, but of course, tuned in today for you.
As another blogger commented, the view has really jumped the shark.
I'm glad that you're getting the exposure you deserve Ross. I hope that it leads to something that will showcase how talented you are.

Ross,

CONGRATULATIONS.

OMG Ross,

I don't know if you will get to read this, but I just had to tell you I LMAO with "Hide Mom if your naked". I almost peed my pants. It is stuff like that, that make so you so real and so like your blog buddies. Thats what makes us love you. Just everyday funny happenings. TY for sharing your life with us and I will be able to see you in about 35 more minutes on the View. I know you are going to do great. Of course by the time I have written this you will have already been on the View and most likely doing a lot more fun things in New York befor you have to head back home.

Oh, I forgot to mention the Karma thing. I totally believe in it and cannot figure out why Joy was so mean today (?) I thought Elizabeth was nice to Ross even though I am not her biggest fan. Barbara? Lordy be, I don't want to watch the show anymore.

NOT READING NOT READING!

I had to post! Ross 35 min until I get to see the View!!! Getting so excited here on the West Coast!!!!

I know you will be fabu!

Blog Buddies:

A shout out to JACNY! Thank you for the friend request on myspace!!! ((((Hugs))))

Also a Thank you to AMICUS. Fantastic you did it! ((((Hugs))))

Baja Danny: Saying prayers and sending postive vibes.

Ok going to fix breakfast so I can dine and watch Ross!!!!

Hi Ross, good job today! I loved the huge screen behind you showing all the places you have been(Derby,CFC etc). Mom Ross looked so cute on the big screen also.You got a good dose of what being a talk show host would be like.Personally I think 4 talking hosts are WAY too many!

Ross...you did a wonderful, wonderful job! I enjoyed watching you! You looked great, you sounded great and you handled it all gracefully and professionally! Can't wait for you to get a show of your own!!!!

I really hate to say this but..... Elisabeth was the nicest one to Ross. Not sure why everyone seemed so uptight on the show today.

Ross, I've never posted here before. But I had to write because I'm just so disappointed in those ladies at The View. You know, I want to give them all the benefit of the doubt since I'm generally a fan of the show; but wow, having a male guest seems to have exposed yet another unattractive side of those women.

I'm a huge fan of yours and I was so pissed off this morning that I was denied the fun of seeing you perform in that setting. Bummer! I'm a stay-at-home mom with 4 kids and I wrote it in my calendar and made time to watch today, and maybe the way they received you is just show business, but I'm so annoyed! I was sitting here ready for you to do for the show what Rosie did, but they never gave you a chance. I already sent Barbara an email.

I thought you handled yourself with grace and wit. Nicely done! Still a big fan.

Ross you looked gorgeous!!

You were the shining light on that show today.

Thanks to blog buddies in chat, I was able to watch...they made if fun for me, because I really can't stand that show and the ppl involved with it.
Thanks blog buddies:o)

Hugs n Smiles,Lovey xox

I think the women on th View were pretty rude. Elisabeth was nice but Barbara was like mocking him. What is the deal?

Ross you did an exceptional job today. If you became another full-time co-host on the View I would watch it everyday! Thanks for the Talky Blogs, I LOVE THEM!

WTF is going on (oh BTW, first post, love you Ross). I agree that EH seems to be the only one trying. I haven't watched this show since Ro left and I wont watch it again. BW is acting stupid and Joy is being bitchy. I'm shocked!!!!!!

Ross you look GREAT and your sunshine inside shows. Shine on sweetie.

GREAT JOB ROSS!!! Fanfreakintastic. We love you!

And that's all I'm saying. I'm staying positive because, dammit, I'm having a good hair day and I'm not going to let anything ruin it.

Ness :)

Ross....KUDOS to you for a job well done! I thought you were absolutely fabulous!! Completely natural, composed, funny, charming, etc.. the list goes on and on! Great job Ross!!!! xoxo

Ross, Sweetie, You were absolutely GREAT today. I taped it so I can watch it again. Thought the ladies(?) could have been much better host's to you. Well, I have their names, still waiting for the name of that PIGEON. Please let us know your thoughts asap, also what did your mom think. luv/hugs--PIGEON, here I come. Duck, you Chicken.

YOU are Fabulous. I need to start a petition to have you on The View as the new co-host. You were great. Ok Bye

They were ALL rude to him.
EH told him to sit down. BW told him to be quiet.JB wave her hand to quiet him in disussion.
THEY WERE ALL RUDE!

U can do better then the View. They are just a group of catty women. What is their problem. Someone woke uo on the wrong side of the bed today (Barbara Walters). It doesn't pay to be nasty.

View comes on in 20 minutes here. I'm already mad about how BW, JB, EH treated him and I haven't even seen it yet. Completely inexcusable and those women need to get off their high horses.

Ross honey -- you have now crossed this "goal" off your list of things to do. Don't give them a second thought now. You are too classy for these nut jobs and they don't deserve any more of your time.

ROSS you were great I hope u had a wonderful time and u arent dissapointed by the way u were treated imho they only wanted u for the ratings well i hope when they hear how great the ratings were u will get your own show out of it that is what u need u are to good to be a cohost u brightened my day so thank u Have a great day everyone:)

GOOD JOB ROSS!!!!!!!!!!

Ross...loved YOU on the View...as for the ladies...well they are a bunch of beoches!!

I am shocked that BW would show such rudness to someone who is so kind. Shame on her and her wicked ways!

While I LOVED watching you....I hope you will move on from THE VIEW and go to something much more positive and worthy of your talents!

Lora

I missed it at 11 but now home and watching the DVR. First commercial just cam on and before I ff thru it wanted to say you are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok now back to watching to I can concentrate!

You were FANTASTIC on the view, though those bitches seemed kinda of bitchy especially Babs, but the audience loved you and so did we!!

NESSER -

Your hair looks AWESOME!

of course EH is always the friendliest on The View, that's how she plays, she thinks life is like a game of SURVIVOR, but then watch out, she didn't win the "MOST LIKELY TO THROW A FRIEND UNDER THE BUS" Award for nothing.

OOH, OOH, I just rewatched the beginning of the show, HE WAGGED THE FINGER AT BE. LUV THAT FINGER. HOW KEWL WAS THAT. TAKE THAT BABS!!!!!

You are to, "Fancy"!! Just look at the life for the last few weeks! So proud!!!

Whenever you get to NOLA, Starbucks on Me!!We one in the casino... I mean, come on.

Happy View Day.
Casey

This is my second time posting and normally i just lurk about but i wanted to comment on the show.The only reason I woke up early was to watch Ross on The View and well Ross was great on it but this is why i dont watch it anymore..Never watched it until Rosie was on it but then stopped after she left.Ross you deserve something much better than The View.They acted like they didn't want you and what is it with them ALWAYS fighting over politics.The ratings will only be up because ROSS was on there.I loved when Ross asked if he could have the cup but they were so RUDE!!!Ross,and JaHeRo need a show....

~Katie~

Ok, this is going to just prove how much of a non-city person I am, but I had no idea that Central Park was so huge! I have always pictured...well...you know, just a park, with a jogging path.

Anyway, I love your $6 pajamas, I want some!

You did so great! You really held your own with those women, and looked good doing it!

Just emailed my opinion about today's "welcome" for Ross to Barbara. Not sure it will make any impression on her (or if she even reads her email)but it made me feel better!
www.theview/abc.com

Ross, Sweetie, take the cup and run, run far far away.

Ross- You did well on the view when they allowed you to talk. Thanks for the shout out to the blog buddies. Loved hide mom if your naked and we hear a door shut.

MOM- Be proud of your son but he doesn't fit the view!! He's better then they are on that show.

Rosie O- Be glad you are NOT on that show anymore.

Babs W- WTF was that at the end.

Yooka- Thanks for the east coast feed.

I will NEVER view "The View" again.

Sorry Ross loved you but they pissed me off. They are now going to do a new show called "Fugly Getty."

we all watched

We all witnessed

poor ross i need to hug him

now everyone knows what it is really like

nesser

im really roflol having a great hair day LOVE IT

Ross, I loved you today!
I watched with my 16 yr old daughter and she screeched your name when she saw you.
She kept complaining about BW's voice and mannerisms.

I wrote in to Rosie.....

Did you watch or tivo the View to watch Ross?
He did great...the little he got to say/do.
BW told him at the end of the show to be quiet and enjoy the View.
I felt so bad. You guys need your own show!

All this hype and excitement and now I'm left with that "after-Christmas-let-down" feeling. Ross absolutely did a great job on The View but the "ladies" treated him with such disrespect that I feel major disappointment and disgust. I guess I shouldn't have expected any better since they were so awful to Rosie.

Ross: You do NOT need to be quiet. You need your OWN show!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ross,

You were great!

I want to say something though. I don't like Elisabeth one bit, but today she was the only one who was nice. There was something definitely going on with Barbara and Joy. They almost always take some time at the beginning to talk to the guest co-host, unless they've been on frequently. They didn't give you much time at all to talk about yourself... just kind of a quick introduction about where we might have seen you before. Barbara was incredibly rude as if she was totally opposed to your being a guest co-host. Other than that, during Hot Topics, none of them ever let another get a word in for ten years so no one should be surprised by that.

I hope you don't have any desire to host that show again. The View is too political. And the fact that they talk over each other, interrupt each other, and disrespect each other... that is not you. You have a great new friendship with Rosie and she says she wants to do something with you. I would stick with her. This was a good oportunity for a little daytime exposure, but the format isn't right and besides, I for one hate the show now, so I doubt I'd watch. After the way they were today, especially Barbara, I will not watch that show again regardless of who the co-host is.

You were fabulous and should be very proud. And I hope your feelings aren't hurt because from where you sat maybe you didn't notice the rudeness. I hope you had as much fun as you anticipated. And I'm sure you know that all of your blog buddies love you.

Luv & Peace

Ross....saw you on The View. YOU ROCKED. You are so awesome!!

Watching the view anymore is like sitting in a restaurant next to a table of women who are all pms-ing at the same time and they are all bitchin and cackling at the same time. I wont be eating there anymore!

Gotta sign off for now, granddaughter here, and she's taking over. Peace Out, for now.

This was my exact e-mail to the Viewmaster Bill Gedde below:

You lost a lot of viewers today. Ross was not treated very kindly and his Blog Buddies are not amused. Have someone on your staff go read his blog comment section and see how people reacted. Barbara should issue an apology for rolling her eyes at his excitement and telling him to be quiet, her humor is not amusing and often offensive. I am 30ish and married with 2 kids. I adore Ross Matthews and just wanted you to know my demographics since I will no longer be watching the view.

Way to go Wendy!

I won't be ablt to watch till after work. I even wore a dress today to celebrate you being on the VIEW.(lol)(first time I've worn a dress in 10 years I really needed a reason)

I know you did a good job.

GO TO WWW.WATCHINGTHEVIEW.COM and tell the board what you thought about Ross and the "ladies" of the View today, they are asking opinions.

Wendy I agree with you totally...Way to go..Well said!

You know what? I e-mailed The View and told them my thoughts too. hehe

Go Wendy! Those were my sentiments exactly mine were e-mail directly to Barbara. I hope anyone who also feels this way will express their distaste to either Bill Geddes or Barbara Walters. They must hear our voices.
www.abc.com/theview

Ross, u were great on the view today but why did they give you Fall clothes to wear when it's the middle of July?

I think you did great. Mamma is just watching out for your well being, that's what mammas do. Watch out for their children. Great job. Your personality definately came through.

Ross,You wre so profesional smart and funny.I agree with every one else they did not treat you very well.BW was very rude to tell you to be quiet.I Thought she was supposed to have class.You and Rosie was the best thing that ever happened to that show.I WILL NOT BE WATCHING AGAIN...

WOW- I missed the view..darn it but from reading the posts..it sounds like Ross did an AWESOME job but had to deal with negativity the entire show?!

I LOVED THE WALKIE-TALKIE BLOG this morning before the view...

WE LOVE YOU ROSS!

LIVE...LOVE...LAUGH

Hey Ross!
This is the first time I'm seeing you on TV :) I watch the View every morning and I'm watching you on it right now! I think yours a great addition to the group, even if its temporary... I love your energy. You're doing great :)
LOL you're talking about your blog and how you write about you and your dog :D HAHA. You're cool, don't change ;)
Take care now!
Sandra

What was it with Joy when Ross asked about the mug -- Go downstairs & buy one. Joy can't blame PMSing!!

Elizabeth appeared to be the nicest of the 3 (my fingers are cramping as I type that!!), but that too would be short-lived if he was on again.

I feel so bad for Ross. He was so so looking forward to this. I think the best thing to come out of it for Ross was meeting Kristin - LOVE HER!!!

Just finished watching. Honestly, I think the ladies were the same they are everyday, with each guest host. This is why I just can't watch it since Rosie left, because this is how it is. Too many hosts and personalities I think. Rosie was able to keep it going and get e/o to talk, it doesn't happen anymore. I don't think BW was meaning to be rude, that is just the way she comes off. We'll see when Ross posts later, but I think he did an AWESOME job!!! I just think this isn't the venue for him, b/c we want to see/hear more from HIM!!

ROSS!!!: hello :)

Your jammies were so funny because quite literally yesterday I was thinking about you and ...jammies. TRULY! I know! Weird but true! (Cue creepy yet zany music). A blog buddy here at your Blog recently mentioned the discount store "Ross Dress for Less". I haven't been to one in years but in honor of our beloved Ross (that would be you, Ross - hello...again :) ), "we" decided to stop in at one yesterday morning (its on the way to a vintage collectibles store :D). Anyway, I left Ross's (the store, not your house, of course) all red-faced and SCANDALIZED! Why? I'll tell you why. :) I had headed over to their men's dept.(the wide-eyed innocent I am...or was) and as I'm looking for something easy to slip into (which was my first mistake, I suppose), I came upon a rack called "active bottoms" :-O
What in the_____ is that all about? Who's in charge there? Is there a Ross corp. headquarters 911 number? Since when are pajama-y pants an "active bottom" now?
So beware: There are "active bottoms" available (and for purchase no less!) in the men's dept. at Ross Dress for Less!

That Central Park pidgeon: did it attack? (ala Fabio's seagull?). Or was it a close encounter with its spit-astic guano?

***********************
SPOILER ALERT!!
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TODAY'S "THE VIEW" YET, PLEASE NO GAWKING; NO STANDING; NO LOITERING! MOVE ALONG! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
SURELY YOU DO NOT WANT TO UNDERMINE YOUR RECENT TIVO PURCHASE AND THE TIME YOU TOOK TO PROGRAM IT! RESPECT YOUR OWN TIME ZONE AND ITS LOCAL NETWORK AFFILIATE STATIONS!!!
***********************

Okay, and now for "The View" . It was so weird. I was sound asleep when suddenly I heard this voice in my dreams. I listened carefully (as everyone should do when receiving messages in one's sleep) and it was blogbuddy "Joey from VA" (of all people) telling me to wake up so as not to miss The View. Now normally, that would have scared me - a voice telling me to watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck (yeeeek!). But then I remembered ROSS was on today - so my subconscious mind allowed my conscious mind to agree to listen to my unconscious mind - causing me to awaken (of course). And only minutes later, while eating a turkey bacon wrap with my dogs, I tuned into The View.

You looked great, Ross! Very clothing coordinated with Miz Barbara herself (did she have an extra big sip of your iced Starbucks this morning? Because she was a Walters ...set to Wild today!).

You were looking quite dapper. But I kept thinking that it was a shame you didn't wear an ascot.
Because...you could have stuck it into Joy Behar's mouth hole (and on a number of occasions this morning)!

Okay, now this is saying a lot (especially coming from me) but who would have thought that Elisabeth Hasselbeck would have been the one to have come across the most welcoming and gracious of the three ladies?

I do think that BW has a genuine affection for you. Its just that...well...I have my theories on BW and men. And, Joy, I swear, she's putting nails (and using a power nail gun) into the coffin of her television career (on that, I MUST agree with the questionably-talcumed Donald Trump).

You, dear Ross, are too good for that show. That was glaringly apparent this morning. In that, I will agree with (many of) the other Blogbuddies.

And what was the gag-order on not being able to discuss Rosie at all? Her name was mentioned once (in connection to celeb contributions to political campaigns). But the obvious lack of mention of Rosie otherwise told me all I needed to know about that show. LOL.

Anyway, YOU came across great. And that's the important thing. :D

Oh and they should have had SPEEDOS on this morning (not on the hosts - lol - but during that beachwear fashion show). I'm very disappointed in that segment producer. Please tell them that. Thank you. :)

As I said in an earlier comment, "Now I remember why I don't watch that show. They may ask questions (when they aren't trying to make themselves the center of attention), but they never LISTEN to the answer! Everyone talks over everyone else, and it is a mess! Forget about trying to learn something - you can't hear what is said."

Actually, the show was worse than I feared. Ross was absolutely the only redeeming feature! He continues to be a class act in every way.

Barbara was pathetic, (Can we say "retirement"?). Joy was - well, words fail me, although "rude" and "obnoxious" do come to mind. Elizabeth (even though so many posters constantly trash her) was the only one to show Ross the respect he deserved.

Ross handled himself beautifully, as usual, and I dare say he will never say one negative thing about his experience or any of the people.

Good job, Ross! I suspect you now have even more admirers than before. Now on to bigger and better things!

This is my first time posting, I loved you on the view today. You are always adorable. I stopped watching when Rosie left, and I will not watch again. Barbara and Joy were so rude. Barbara and her eye rolling, and brow raising was so patronizing. I will email her my comments too.

ATTENTION ABC
To get the Views ratings back up like they were today heres the deal.
Replace BW with Ross
Get rid of those whiney hags
Allow Ross to pick HIS cohosts AND guests

Hey Ross..one dream done..would ya do it again????

Would ya ever consider having your own show,really? your fans would love it!!

I also just hopped on "The View" website and emailed Barbara, Joy, Elisabeth and The Viewmaster (four seperate emails). I was civil but expressed how I felt. I recommend it to anyone here.

OK, its obvious the View is on its way OUT! Ross you really are "MAJOR" and simply too good for what that show has become! Stick with what you do and peeps like Rosie, the View now is 2 old bitches, BW and Joy, and Elizabeth is just to ignorant for me to take seriously...they all must feel that the show stinks now and they are trying so hard to make it work, but its OVER!

Hi Ross,

What can I say? You were absolutely fantabulous today on The View!!

And, of course, your mother was beautiful and beaming!! What a great mom!!

I know you can't wait to get back to your little Louise. I know she misses you.

BTW, thanks for mentioning your Blog Buddies today on the show!! We're so proud of you!! Congrats, Ross, on a job well done!!

That is a good idea Delly! Ross does need his own show..I would skip work of that.

BTW, on Rosie's blog today, she had a talky blog with JaHeRo, and she mentioned that they had to hurry up doing her makeup and hair so they could watch you on The View!! How Sweet!!

Um, joey...
Biscuit was working....
Have it TIVO-ed and will watch it when I get home.. just skimming the comments cause I don't want to get spoiled...
anyway.. since you were wondering..
that's where I was.

Ross, I think you were great, I am a first time poster. I have to say that the way the women treated you today on the show was totally rude. They should be ashamed of themselves. I think you are great and deserve so much better treatment!!

You Rock Man!!!

OMG... I just have to say that I was so embarressed for you today on The View. Barbara and the others totally ran you over. Ross, you looked like a dear caught in headlights... And for Barbara to start off by saying basically "what was I thinking when I invited you on my show" must have been a blow.

My mom and I watched the View together because you were on. During the first commercial, my mom said, "They are being so rude to him!". She doesn't follow you as closely as I do, but she saw it just as plain as I did. I thought maybe I was being super sensitive because I love you so much, but she confirmed it.
I was so happy to see that the rest of the blog buddies saw what I did and started sending letters. I'm off to do that right now. You didn't deserve that kind of treatment, and Barbara can take that eye rolling a face making off my TV forever.

Watching your (!) show on the west coast (Canada)... and lovin' it! I hope you become a regular on The View! Yayyyy, go Ross!

WOW!!!! you were awesome, gr8t job, so funny lol...Looks like u had fun and u were right next to BW the whole time how cool was that!!! Tell us were you nervous??? well catcha laterz

I too just wrote Barbara an email, letting her know how disgusting her behavior was today (as well as Joys), and letting her know that this 34 year old married, stay at home mom of 4 children will no longer be watching her show, and looking forward to the day its canceled.

Like I posted above....Ross and Rosie are way to good for that show, and are on a totally different level as those women are. I really hope Ross sees that show now for what it is, and no longer has a desire to go on again....he is way too good of a person!

Oh and way to go Tonight Show for picking up the hotel tab!!! Love Jay supporting Ross! Now thats class!

GO TO WWW.WATCHINGTHEVIEW.COM
and say your opinions!!! Also write the View.
Ross, you did awesome!! You are such a light in a world that seems more dark everyday. Those ladies are bitter and sour and miserable and it shows. Barbara has been drinking the high society juice too long and her condescending looks are old. Anyway, just wanted to say you did great!

I never post comments here.. but I have to today.. OMG.. Barbara and Joy were total bitches and I was pissed for Ross. I think I may know Barbaras issue, her face looks a bit pulled back behind her ears and Joy's girdle seems to tight.. SHEESH!!!!! THat show is over!!!!!

O.M.G. jUST GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL JUST IN TIME.

Am I being over protective of Ross or are they not being very nice to him, or AT least the e nergy is not good.

Don't know, still on pain killers.

Okay Need to watch the rest.

i havent watched yet; i Tivo'd, so i have to wait 'till later. Im afraid to watch after reading some of the comments left.
Im sure u were great, we ALL know this. They prolly jealous, those crazy bitches!
luv you, hun...
*hugz*
D~

CLASS! CLASS! CLASS!

Ross, you were a CLASS act.

It is easy to be polite in a polite situation.

To be polite in a hostile environment allows someone to show his or her true CLASS!

I believe someone watched, and so how you handled yourself with CLASS. I know it is probably hard for many to think this now - but I think we should thank the ladies (and I use that term loosely) at The View for giving Ross the opportunity to show what a CLASSY person he is.

I believe a great door of opportunity just opened for you, although it may not be visible to us just now.

Its me again! I just wanted to add...bc I've watched more of the show and read more of the comments about Ross's View blog:

I think they should get rid of Elizabeth and Barbara on the view. Elizabeth is so annoying, I can’t stand her…I LOVED the show when Rosie was on it, she had the personality for it and was the only one, along with Joy on occasion, who kept a voice of reality among the panel. Makes the show more amusing. Barbara never seems to have any significant input she just rants/makes a speech about her feelings and its lame.

In general, I don’t think that they were particularly rude to Ross…but they were themselves. They were just rude, as usual, to each other, and snooty. They just don’t let ppl talk! Maybe they think it’s cute or funny?
Ross DOES stand out and in a VERY good way. He changes the show in a good way and the rest feel it…They just need to learn how to roll with it. The audience doesn’t want to watch people struggle with each other on TV…they want to see flow, teamwork.
Work together people!!!! :]

WTF!!! I will NEVER watch the View again! I can't believe how Babs acted toward Ross! They were all rude today.

PozMikey - Fugly Getty - HILARIOUS!!!!

I just Emailed Barbra too. It wasn't very pleasant.

Oh, and thanks Joey for the play by play. That totally made me laugh.

Amazing!!! You were amazing on the view, I was totally crackin' up when you joined the models with your sarong...toooooo fun!!!! :)
-Kasey

Alicia-if you want to see hypocrites in action just replay today's View...Joy & the great Barbara Walters...prime examples of the the sick, twisted & dark Democrat machine...However, Elisabeth was positive, friendly, professional & generated light.

WOW...Joy knocking Ross,Rosie,Elisabeth, Christine, McCain, Guiliani, Vitter & Mrs. Vitter all in one show and BW forced to apoligize to Rev. Al by legal department... (she forgot to mention Mrs. Clinton said she was not a cookie baking "stand by your man" type so if Mrs. Vitter is a hypocrite for forgiving her husband, so is Mrs. Clinton)

IMO The View has stopped being what it set out to be in the beginning, which was five women of different ages with different points of view.

It has now turned into three women who try to out talk each other with a co-host or two thrown in the mix. ABC needs to wake up and realize that The View needs to go bye-bye. Enough is enough!! (Who use to sing that song?!)
IMO

BajaDanny - how r u? How did everything go? Feeling ok?

I wanted to add after watching more of the show and reading more of the comments about his blogging:

DEAR ROSS,

IT HAS TAKEN A RAY OF LIGHT SUCH AS YOURSELF TO MAKE ME OPEN MY EYES AND SEE THE TRUE DARKNESS AND UGLY ENERGY THE WOMAN ON THE VIEW HAVE.

Even with all the crap Rosie put up with I did not see the dark ugly energy as much as I did today.

Please do you own thing, you are to good for those 3 bitches

Love ya

Baja Danny

P.s. only half way thru the view, I hope it get's better.

ROSS, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot say anything new that has not been said I ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE BLOG BUDDIES AND THE WAY THE LADIES ON THE VIEW TREATED YOU TODAY!!!!!!!!!! We were all there for you Ross 110% AND WE ALL THOUGHT YOU ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barbara...go back to news...
Joy....get laid...lighten up!!!
Thank you Ross for being you and keep being you YOU ARE A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AND WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless and have a great, awesome rest of the day!!!!

Congratulations Ross!

You were fantastic! I'm so thrilled for you and I hope your career sees nothing but bank from this appearance.

As for the ladies, I guess I was more immune to them than most. They were no more annoying than they usually are!

BW sounded totally annoyed when Ross mentioned he had a blog...she probably thought "Oh no, here we go again!" Remember when Ross was on The View 6/5 with Kathy Griffin co-hosting and Bill Getes walked by his dressing room and saw he was blogging...he made an under breath comment and walked away. Ross called him back in when he stopped taping.

I think they are all afraid of the unknown...BLOGS! Get with it and get into blogs..it IS the way we will all communicate in the future..uncensored FREE SPEECH!

Wow Ross!
Im about half way thru The View, and had to come here to see if everyone else is feeling what I am. YUP! Babs is such a bully! She is like the popular gorl that invites you to her party, and then makes fun of you all night. You really held your own, and Im so proud of you! I hope you didnt feel too uncomfortable today,
I just wanted to jump thru the screen and give you a big hug!
No worries, you did an awesome job and will look great on your resume!!
The cream ALWAYS rises to the top!!

Gosh, I want express to Ross again how great I thought he was today. He sailed through with grace and was so adorable and funny, etc. Even with the meaness,Ross, you did SUCH a fantastic job. I loved watching every moment of you!

I agree with Entranced- I don't think they were any more annoying then usual. I actually thought EH was LESS annoying too.
I don't for one minute believe that Ross is going to say a bad word about his whole experience, so I think perhaps we should just remind him of how wonderful he was and not on how anyone else acted. Just my opinion, don't mean to rankle anyone.

Did anyone else think it was obvious that Ross didn't discuss the Cruise? One would think that he would have talked about just going on his first cruise which happened to be Rosie's, but it wasn't talked about.

Sometimes I wish Ross would be more open with these questions...like Rosie is with her bloggers, but I think he is to nice and still too young in his career to be burning any bridges.

I would love to know if anyone told him it would be best not to discus the cruise...although Joy didn't have a problem mentioning the gift giving list Rosie was on...now I have confused myself. HA!

Watching RIGHT NOW (CA) Love love love the sarong segment. You could so work that runway ROSS!! Is it just me or is BW kind of being a snoot. I don't like the way she is treating you Ross. Maybe I'm seeing it wrong????? Gotta go back to the VIEW

Ross~ You did awesome on The View, but I thought the ladies were sorta rude to you...did you think so? Congrats!!!!

Ross:
A.MAH.ZING!
You Rocked!
Pure Yellow A Shining light!
Hope you had the time of your life!
Loved the Outfit!
Loved the Beach Cover Up...lmao.
Pure Grace ...
Holla Mom, Saw you in the View Masters Chair... "How Proud are you?".. ~sigh~...Silly question, Ross Rocked !!!
{{{HUGS}}}
{{{XOXO}}}

West Coast and ten minutes left. I came in here after "hot topics" because Joy was being unkind today and Barbara was being the consumate journalist pretending to be a talk show host. EH is EH.
Love you Ross.
Looking forward to seeing you someplace you BELONG, wherever that is.
Someplace FUN

Love to love you, Ross-ola!

WTG on a job well done! :)

Hugs to you,
Sarah

BAJA DANNY -

Buenos tardes! Glad you are home and it seems you are doing okie dokie!
Sending you big {{huggles}} for a speedy recovey.

SACBARB -
R U home yet?

RFC - From your written insight to God's ears! I agree with you completely.
Ross is such a bright and shining star. His smile is magnetic! And his way of diplomatically giving his "views" is pure CLASS. I congratulate him on his bravado and daring.
I'll bet Jay Leno has plenty to say about it all on his show tonight.
Ross, you're fantastic!!

bravissimo! great job. you & EH were adorable during the summer cover-up segment. and that takes a lot to say that about EH, coming from me! LOL again...super job. ross_mom....glowing! i smiled the entire show.

Ross you were awesome!! I knew you would be.. You were the star of that foursome, no doubt about it. I was soooooooooooo disappointed in BW - never thought I would say she was rude, but I sure thought she was right from the get go. I watched that show faithfully when Rosie was on, when she left, like others, I stopped.

I watched today for YOU.. now they are off my list for good. anyways you were a breath of sunshine today.. I loved it.. the sarong TOO FUNNY...

Good job ...hope you had fun fun fun.

Peace

ok, I'll go back and watch Ross in a Sarong.

Okay, at first I thought it was just me, but reading this, clearly we all noticed how rude the "ladies" were. (And that EH actually was the nicest - whoda thunk it?) I saw how rude they were to Perez but I thought that was because his blog can be mean - what the heck do they have against Ross? OH - THAT'S RIGHT, HE'S A FRIEND OF ROSIE'S. Did they think we wouldn't notice that? Barbara totally seemed like she was just barley tolerating his presence, and Joy was downright rude. Do they not know how he has been promoting this show for a month? And that a ton of people watched ONLY to see him? Jeez!

"Gracious" (thank you, Serena) is the perfect word to describe Ross, all the time. Mrs. Mathews, you raised a wonderful man. Congratulations. Ross, I look forward to your new show, which is only a matter of time.

You kicked butt on The View today, Ross...you are a natural!

Hey Ross you did great today, fun and upbeat as always. Don't feel bad about Barbara. Lately its seems that she's been rude and condescending to almost all the guest co-hosts, just ask Kim Coles or Sherri Shepherd.

You did a great job today!!!!!

Ross-

I watched the View today just because of you, and I am NOT a fan of that show. I'm glad you did it, but I think you will do much more than that crappy show. Really no point to it, and what was with Joy calling you a "gay boy from Idaho?" And Barbara making it like you were a lot to deal with. Such crap!

Great job and I look forward to seeing the segments on the Tonight Show. You should be very proud!!

Ross........Just fun to see you on anything but the View not for U they talk over everything and its just not U

Mom looked beautiful all this exposure she may soon have a new man in her life.

Ross and Rosie show here we come.

Yeah I dont think any of them really seemed that happy to be there. How awful! How can you not smile in Ross's presence.

I overslept and missed it but a friend of mine recorded it and I'm going over to watch it at her house. Heard you were fabulous!!!

Ross- You were a bright shiny ball of enery among drab teird women. Good job!!!
Duckie

He was beautiful, wasn't he. I actually think his wardrobe choice was splendid, his smile was fabulous and he was genuinely major class on a show that no longer deserves it. Since I've stopped watching The View anyway, I'm feeling no loss here. But I do feel we should highlight the good and ignore the rude.

sooooOOOOooooo good on the view!
best one ever. yay!

Just finished watching the View...and I think there's some *major* overreaction here regarding the dynamic between the co-hosts. Am I missing something? I thought they seemed pretty respectful of one another, and Ross seemed to be very gracious and truly enjoying himself. Barbara did tell him to be quiet, but she had her arm around him and called him adorable just before. I think there's a few "buddies" on here that are a bit too reactionary and overprotective.

Way to go Ross, you were awesome!!!! You looked very handsome, just as I pictured you! The View would be crazy not to hire you as a co-host, you brought freshness to something that has become quite stale!
Congratulations!!!!!:D

Now to read all the posts, I can't believe how many there are already, you are a very popular guy!

Ross..you were lovely and sweet and well-mannered like always. But I have just emailed the view at how you were treated today. They should be ashamed ...was like watching a bully taunt a sweet kid. I kinda knew they would do it to you..they lost a house ful of viewers tody for sure.
BUT..you were FREAKIN fabulous as always!
xoxox

rats, I missed the last 15 minutes....anyone have a tape?? or can you give a recap??
I had to leave just before Kristen Chenowick came on..
darn darn DARN!!

Alright, my turn--

I'm going to describe a scenario for all of you.

Ross just walked off the stage of probably what is one of the biggest events of his career to date--co-hosting the view. Something he has been excited and talked about by him for literally a month. He walks off backstage so enthralled that he can barely breathe. "Did this just happen?", he asks himself. Mom_Ross meets him backstage and they are just so wound up in excitement that its overwhelming for the both of them.

Thirty minutes later he is sitting down in the dressing room winding down and he grabs his laptop to take a sneak peek at the comment section where he finds 400+ comments already. He starts reading through them.. at first a huge smile is pasted on his face from all the "Good Lucks" and the "I cant waits". He scrolls a bit further to read. "IM BOYCOTTING THE VIEW", "I CANT BELIEVE THAT SHIT", "THEY WERE RUDE BITCHES".. etc.

The smile goes away.

Guys, can we keep this on a macro level and offer words of encouragement and vigor?

Ross, we all thought you did wonderfully today. You were very classy, tactful, and amazing. Keep up the great! work.

Dr_Dan

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. But Ross, if it weren't for you being on The View this morning, I definitely would have turned it off within the first two minutes. I CANNOT believe those ladies!! Is it so hard to let someone else get in a word edgewise and SHARE an opinion?!?! Why do each of them think that THEIR opinion is the only one that counts?! I don't get it!!!

I missed the first 20 minutes due to crazy storms knocking out the cable. Can you believe my local cable provider had the gall to ask me if I would like to sign up for their telephone service?!? Well let’s see, they screw up my TV and internet every time the wind blows. Should I give them the opportunity to screw up my phone too so I can’t even call them and complain? I think not!

Anyhow, you were wonderful as always, Ross. I’m glad you survived the drive by pigeoning this morning. Even in your jammies you are adorable.

You were great on the show today...however I think that you need a show of your own...it would win more awards than the View ever thought about winning...
You are amazing...I think people can relate to you...you are a sweet down to earth funny guy...and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more of you...

BTW, EH was very sweet to our Ross. Just to show the world we are able to view events objectively.

I now feel totally justified in never watching The PHEW again!! BW needs a lesson in manners and civility...maybe she thought she was being "cute" or "funny" with the eye rolling bit....but it was just RUDE...JB was a stone cold bitch and EH was abnormally nice (kind of), at least she didn't verbally slap Ross down for being enthusiastic and happy to be on the show.
Ross, I hope you'll file this experience away under "Lessons Learned"...and keep being your authentic self! What a disapointment...I WANT MY HOUR BACK! :~~~ on those 3 wenches!

You are right Dr. Dan!
When I was watching, I was hoping he was just riding the high of being there (and having his mom with him, AWWWWE!!!)
Anyway, I REALLY hope Ross had the BEST time and didnt even feel the tension that we did.
I dont think it had to do with him beig friends with Rosie, since they knew that when they asked him to guest and then HOST! That is such an honor1

Happy Viewsday Blog Buddies
(get it, Viewsday...Tuesday. LOL)

Ross~ You looked fantastic on the show. You did a great job! So you how do feel now? Are you still on cloud nine? Can't wait to see/ hear your thoughts on the show :o).

Mom~ You looked so happy and a bit nervous. Was it a surprise to be on camera?? OMG I screamed at my TV, "HI MOM!"

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ross you are amazing... u should be the ONLY host on the view.. I can leave the others but you i just cant get enough (Great now i have depech mode in my head) The outfit SO HOT. LOVE LOVE LOVE the shoes... The ladys seemed a bit cold..Hum just a thought..
LOVE U ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are AMAZING Ross! Keep going! Be LOUD!!!!

I'm sad about the way Barbara Walters is handling the show..it's weak.
The young, blond, survivor, "conservative" supporter of hypocritical, homophobic, slaughtering, fear mongers, is killing the show.

They were lucky to have you!

Ross you were funny ,polite and charming as always but, the ladies I felt were so cold and rude and shows me its a good thing I stopped watching it after Rosie left.I don't enjoy it. Ross you are Dazzling!
Example :"Dancing & Singing on a LA street with Perez and 2 Strangers" or " Joking with Rosie off the cuff"
The View is like going to the dentist! I can't wait for it to be over! Rosie and you need to get a show in the works. TV needs you guys not 3 ladies that could give a shit whos watching and whos the co host. They acted like they need this year to end and the 10 year run to end.. R.I.P... In my best Whitney Houston voice.."No more View !Hell To the NO~!The View is OVER!

Dr_Dan -

Again, as always, the voice of reason.

I think we just want Ross to be sooo happy and never want him to hurt, yet, we often end up hurting the ones we love.

ROSS -
YOU DID, DID, DID, DID SHINE.

Ross,
How cute were you with the sarong??? :) I taped the show as I had a stupid doctor appt and wasn't sure if I would get back in time. You were great. Are you ever going to come down off of cloud 9 ??? Oh and thanks for the shout out to all the bloggers too that was neat.
To all bloggers Have a great day.

Dr Dan~~i have to say that I agree with you 100 %.

OMG OMG!!

ROSS - you did so well today! Way to go you STAR :)

You were AMAZING and really looked great.

WAY TO GO!!! We love you!

Faye

OMG OMG!!

ROSS - you did so well today! Way to go you STAR :)

You were AMAZING and really looked great.

WAY TO GO!!! We love you!

Faye

Ross you are a natural! I felt you totally held your own!

I understand why the show is loosing audience support. I would never want to be a guest or host if that is the treatment they would get. Very sad!

I thought your segment with EH and the swimwear was the best. You had fun and made a very boring segment delightful.

I don't know if Barbara is aging quickly or if it is just me. But lately she is so up tight and not very gracious. I have always respected her, but I think it may be time for her to stick to her specials and leave daytime TV.

I kind of think this about Joy too. The last few times I have watched the show she has not been very funny, she just seems mean! I used to enjoy her humor. Not lately.

I think you need your own show that showcases your positive and natural ability to interview people.

Once again you were the light and made the show. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

Mom Ross: You have done a wonderful job! I am proud of your son as I know you are too.

Dr_Dan, you speak the truth.

Ross, once again,
CONGRATULATIONS on a fantastic job on The View!!!!

Dear Ross,

You were the epitomy of light, intelligence, and graciousness. What wonderful contributions you made to the show!

I think you looked so fabulous.

You can breathe as you were just perfect as can be!

Ross, I watched you on The View and was so excited for you, you have no idea.
But the women on the view let me down and were just utterly ridiculous. Joy seemed to treat you like she does any other co-host, and Elizabeth was ok, Barbara, oh lord. She was just, well I love you so I think everyone should treat you as I would. I honestly think you could do so much more than the View though.

You were amazing when they let you be though. You handled snide remarks with SUCH class! I love you and hopefully now the rest of the world will realize how amazing you are.

You and Ro should do a show together. I'd die. That would be the extent of happiness my body could achieve. Call it the RoRo show or something. Would be perfection and I read her blog and watched her talky blog and I would LOVE to know what she thinks about your visit today. Anyways, I'm done rambling! Your mom is adorable, and my mumble says hi to louise!

I have never commented before.

I am a huge fan, love, Love, LOVE you.

The View sucked today. I watch that show regularly and was appalled at BW and Joy's behaviour. Joy has been rude to people before but NEVER Barbara! What was her problem today? She was so dismissive and condescending. Really out of character for her. She DID invite you didn't she? Barbara owes you an apology and the audience an explanation.

She was basically telling you to shut up at the end, so very rude.

You handled yourself very well.

I hate Joy, Elisabeth was a doll to you today.

Chin up.

YOU were amazing Ross! Congrats on a dream come true!

Dr. Dan
clap...clap...clap
You are right.

ROSS ~ I SOOOO LOVE the fact that you can be so goofy and silly, and yet really hold your own the way you did today!!! You did a great job, and i totally agree with "adults take responsibility"! So sorry some people acted the way that it seemed!! I thought you and EH were great together!

and thanks for the early am talky blog with central park, that was wonderful...LOL at the "fancy world talk"...SO TRUE!!

WOW! Talk about bad karma and true colors!! Deseparate times call for desparate measures. The show is quickly

Bravo Dr._Dan!
My positive post was a subtle way of saying the same thing!!!
Ross is having a "Pinch Me Moment!"
Let's Support Him and his Warm, Kind and Shining Spirit...
and the AWESOME JOB He did today!

Ross,

Congratulations on fulfilling a life's dream! You must be ecstatic with pride - and you should be! You did a fantastic job!! As you can see from this blog, you already have new fan falling in love with you after watching you on The View. You were poised, smart, gracious, funny and entertaining. You're such a dear - the light seems to just shoot out of your eyes and your fingertips!

Dr. Dan - Thanks for the post. I was about to write the same thing. BBs, please go back and read Dr. Dan's post if you missed it.

In every aspect of our lives, we should try to disregard the negative and put all of our energy on the positive. Today, the positive is ROSS WAS ON THE FREAKIN' VIEW!! A serious life goal successfully and gloriously completed. Now, we get to wait and see what new doors you have opened with your fabulous performance. Whatever they are, your blog buddies will be there cheering you on!

Peace & love,
t

First of all…and most important, Ross did a WONDERFUL job co-hosting The View today. The rest of the "ladies" need to take lessons from him on compassion, grace and class. They were downright rude to him. Especially Barbara Walters. I guess it is time well, WAY past time, for her to retire. Joy should learn some new material. She is soooo not funny anymore. I am also very surprised to say Elisabeth was the only one who showed Ross some respect. I hate Elisabeth but I do have to give her credit today for being human. Ross deserved respect from ALL of them. Ross has been giving The View lots of publicity promoting his appearance on The View for a month and to be treated like that is just terrible. They probably think their high ratings today is a result of ‘THEM" but we all know it is because of Ross being on the show. After today their ratings will be in the toilet where they belong. EVERYONE FLUSH!

Wouldn't let me post on here this morning... Who else LOVES the fact that Ross shops for $6.00 jammies at Target?! That's what makes him so endearing to us. Him and Ro both... No matter the notority, they are REAL... Can't wait to see how Ross feels it went today. I too feel that it was BW's ill fated attempt at humor. I hope you don't go back on the Veiw Ross cuz I don't know if I can sit through another hour of that show again!! You deserve your OWN show sweetie :))

Ross I can't wait to see your TTS segment about your day at the View! I know it will be fun and insightful!

Go get Mom Ross and have a celebration! Have a great lunch for a job well done and all of the exposure today gave you!

You are taking off young man! Just like a Rocket!

Thanking you for sharing all of your adventures with us!

Ross...you were FANTASTIC today!!!!! ..BUT know you have to know why Rosie left. Stick with Rosie and her kind respectful people.
The view hosts were AWFUL to you today. Barabara was so condescending ..making faces behind you're back.the little snide remarks of why did she agree to have you on.How rude!
We all only watched the View today because of you..I think America is 100% positive why we jumped ship with Rosie. Don't go on there again..go where you are respected and loved!

SHAME ON YOU GRACE!!!

You have shown all that you do not live up to your name.

ROSS IS PERFECT...DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LOUD OR INSULTING TO SHOW DAYTIME WHAT IT'S MISSING.

Great beachwear segment with EH..."conservative supporter of the hypocritical, homophobic fear mongers" was the only host that showed respect to & pleasure in having Ross share the stage. That must bug the #*!! out of Grace so she attacks.

You looked great, Ross. You are so super funny and you "giddiness"...well, I wish we could all be sooo happy and fun to be around. I hope you had a great time as I know we enjoyed watching you. Take care.

Ha! I just sneaked a look at the talky blog at work!!! Nobody's calling, nobody's in the office so I just said WTF and watched it! (my office mate does it all the time. I am usually just too chicken)

I can't wait to go home and watch the VIEW!

Lynne

Agreed Dr_Dan- I think I said the same thing (like Jacny)in my post,only not as well stated and detailed as you. Lets talk about how wonderful Ross did! Just imagine a day full of positive comments for a change!

Darlene from Washington: this is Darleen in Maryland. Where in WA are you? I lived on Whidbey Island for 4 years. LOVED the Pacific Northwest and would LOVE to come back!!

Aloha Kakahiaka Blog buds!

WOW guess Ill have to wait to form my own opinion but it sounds like the three buttheads wern't very nice to Ross. I am disappointed as I always liked Joy, her wit, her seemingly well thought out political intelligence, but if she was rude I may need to re-think that.'

BajaDanny: Welcome home you, hope you are feeling better and on your way to that glimmering speedo ;p

FlowersMommy: Hope you are doing better this morning!

JACNY: Thank you for taking care of my chat room problem.

I totally agree with Kimpetsit BW was so rude to you today wtf. It made me so uncomfortable it was hard to watch. And at the end she told you to be quiet. What the hell!!!! Tell EH to be quiet she talked over everybody! I am not watching that show anymore period.

Dr Dan is the man.

Great job today, Ross! Stylish and charming (as usual).

Would anyone happen to know what the ratings were today on the View compared to the last few weeks?

Awwwe Ross sending you love from a new blog buddy. I've been reading. Oh and HI all the blog buddies. You guys are awesome to support Ross. You're awesome Ross; loved the morning talky blog so real authentic just you. That's what we love YOU.

Just a little pop in to say you did AwEsOme JOb on the view ROSS!!!!! You were so cute and plesant. You looed wonderful in your new clothes. But I wouldn't have like it when Elizabeth's finger start wagging. I hate that. But you are so sweet and the ladies were lucky to have you there.

OMG!!! I was going to read comments, but they are already to like 450!! & It's just almost 2 here! I recorded the View guess I need to go watch since there is already soooooo many comments!! Going to go watch, be right back. (since I recorded i can ff thru the commercials) I don't hardly watch anything live anymore just for that fact. OH well, gonna go watch, be back.

Birdee, glad Boz is feeling better and you are too!
Flowers Mommy, hope today is better for you!
{{{HUGS}}} to all that need them.
Ok going to go watch for real now.

Ross,

Hmmm. So this a block? a blow? a boob? Oh, a blog.
Hmmmmmmm.

It'll never catch on.
Hmmmmmmssnnnnllleeech!
('got some birthday cake stuck in my upper bridgework).

Anyway, we seem to be missing a mug from the set, Ross. You wouldn't happen to know anything about its whereabouts, would you?

Now, we don't know what they let "interns" get away with over there at NBC, what with its Beckham mini-series money and all, but Barbara, Disney and I (but most especially Disney) aren't in this talk show game to lose money.

There was a gift shop downstairs. That's what we don't understand, Ross. Although you were a "co-host" (we really must change that moniker while I'm thinking about it), that in no way should have made you feel so welcomed as to walk away with a mug - a mug that can easily fetch us $20 on the open market and upwards of $150 on the black market (well, the ones without Elisabeth on them anyway).

I know that Barbara offered one to you. But Barbara sometimes says things "on-air" which, well, it's show biz (I'm sure you understand).

So if you'll simply place the mug (gently) into a FedEx box (I'll even allow you to return it by ground), we'll agree not to call "legal" on this matter.

Don't make us call "legal", Ross.

Yes. Joy Behar was our tipster.

Sincerely (...mean it - we WILL call "legal"),

Big Bill
(And they don't call me that for nothin')

lol. Not really Bill Getty. lol it is only I, Kevin T. :)

You were great - too great (as was Rosie, too) for that crew over there. They're last decade's news and just can't or won't step into this one (like before this one is over, too, already. lol). Completely agree with RFC that you were a class act. But there's no room for class on that show.

Great job Ross!

I told everyone that Joy would be the problem!!! She is just a bitch!! She stirs the pot and pushes the enevelope too much for me!!

I believe in karma, Ross!

Okay I lied, had to go read dr_dan & let me just say I haven't watched yet, but, I TOTALLY AGREE W/YOU!!!! C'mon! BB's let's not rain on his (ROSS) parade!
K, going to go watch now!

Ross the main thing to remember is that you are loved unconditionally by your Blog Buddies!

Your inner light always shines bright!

Congrats Ross, from a newbie. Saw you on The View this morning. You were just amazing!! Funny, articulate and entertaining -- way to go Mr. Cohost!! You should be proud. Great to see you spreading your wings. Hope to see a lot more of you on other shows. xxoo

ROSS You ROCKED!!! And just think of ALL the NEW fans you'll have now! (Gosh, that many more comments to read! We'll gladly accept it!) You seriously did AMAZING!

Ross,
You were just FANTASTIC!!

Barbara is a loser and Joy is a bitch.....and, really, Elizabeth wasn't all that nice, either. Her comment in the bathing suit segment "It's all about YOU, Ross." What's up with that?

WILL NOT watch the View again, don't care who they get to co-host. It's over.

Ross, you will be here long after Barbara, Joy and the no talent Elizabeth. Trust me on this.

As for those three, Karma can be a bitch.

Dr.Dan, U R so right. Thanks for making us remember the big picture here. And it is that Ross did a FANTASTIC JOB. Thanks again

april

(((((((((((((((((((ROSS)))))))))))))))))))))

People, people, if you watch the View, that is just the way they treat other hosts. That is why people don't like it anymore. I actually thought they looked like they enjoyed Ross (you should see the way they treat people they don't like!)
Like others have said, let's celebrate Ross's BIG DAY!!

ROSS - you were unbelievable!!! fantastic!!! awesome!!!!. Great going! Head up high, you were magnificant.. this is what you need to do fulltime..

Keep in mind on here one thing, everyone thought you were great.. alot were very disappointed in the female folk..but YOU.. unbelievable!!! so smile big and be very proud of yourself. You looked dashing.. you were polite, respectful, charming, FUNNY... you were the man!!.

I think alot of the discontent with the females on there was.. 1. they were off 2. we all have boycotted them since Rosie left..

So forget about them, today was not about them, it was about YOU... and all I can say is WOW... I can hardly wait to see what you do next!.

Cheers

Marsha, I so agree with you 100 percent and could not have said it any better. I was wondering if Mom-ross saw how rude they were to her son. Joy I am sorry to say IMO is a biotch more than EH and always has been. Today she proved it over and over again. Starting with her unwarrented remark of Ross being gay. None of your business Witch. BW was a total Witch with a capital B. I could not believe how rude she was to him. I just hope that if nothing else Ross was still able to enjoy himself and have a good memory of his being a cohost. Even though they sure did not treat him like one.

OMG I am new to this blog. I have seen Ross on Rosies blog and I am officially addicted to him. OMG funniest guy ever. I love the talky blogs I love all of it. I am one of your newest fans. Hey to all the blog buddies. I have been spending all day today reading from day one of this blog. This is a great way to spend the day off from work. Loving it people. I would like to say I am an addict and my addiction is Ross! LOL

xxxooo

My View -

Ross was acting way too gay on the view. That is just not appealing to the typical viewer.

The whole hand movements, leg crossings, and facial expressions of a FEM is just gross. It's not funny for a man to act like a girl on national tv. It will be a short lived career. Wearing that scarf around your waist was a disgrace to all men. Stop acting so damn gay! It's not funny, Ross! Truly, it's not funny.

Joy called you a gay Idaho boy...OMG I would be crawling under my chair. Joy said no testosterone...get it? She meant you!

I hope you TiVo the show...watch it! It will make you hurl!

Enjoy "My View" of The View.

***PERSONAL MESSAGE ALERT*****
(skip unless you're BIRDEE, Boz, or those aware of the Boz the Boxer medical drama)

Please let me know how BIRDEE'S Boz is doing! Thanks.

*******END OF MESSAGE*******

Congrats, Ross!! You were wonderful--gracious, funny, and adorable!!

I hope you come down from cloud 9 soon, LOL!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Yay! I'm so happy for little you getting to be on the big View!! Woot Woot! I actually haven't had a chance to watch the View like I used to... haven't seen it since I was in the audience the day you were a guest in June, but made sure I got my but in gear to watch today. You were great, and I hope you had a good time! Love ya!

Does anyone have the link that someone posted about free ring tones? I have looked and looked through Ross' blogs and can't find it anywhere. Thanks so much.

Ignore the elephant in the room.

aww I'm so freaking excited for you!!!!!!!!
Love you Ross,hope it was fabulous!

Ross- You really showed your class today. You shined like a beacon on that show.

MOM_ross- You raised an amazing son and you looked fab!!

That's another one to check off your Life List of things to do!!

CHECK!!

Okay BB's just watched the 1st hot topics segment, think Ross is doing extremely well! Just 1 question....What does Babwa Wawa have hangin off her Ta Ta?!?!?!?!
K, going to go watch segment 2!

Hi Ross,

I wrote a comment before but wanted to today.. I have been following your blog for a while and think you are wonderful.. Am a big Rosie fan and love the two of you together..

Saw the few.. You were great.. But BW and JB did not treat you nice at all.. Where you uncomfortable?

MomX5.

I saw the thing hanging from BW's TATA too. Please someone tell us!

Rossy Ross Ross Ross!!!

Thanks for being the one to make the show fun AND funny today:-)

What the world
needs now
is Ross
Sweet Ross
It's the only thing
that there's just
too little of!!!!

sorry, I couldn't get it to rhyme

I don't think anyone..well let me just speak for myself... meant to make Ross feel bad with my comment. I was simple reacting to how a friend (even though I don't really know Ross personally)had been treated poorly by other people.

My appologies Ross. I thought your outfit was great and I thought you did a wonderful job!

What the HELL kind of comment was that by Joy "yeah, a gay son from Idaho" -- just after Ross' mom was introduced, and they were all saying how proud she must be of him? Please tell me I didn't hear that correctly. It was just WRONG on so many levels.

My take on the show? My God -- a horrible mess of squawking by the "ladies", Ross having to fight just to get a few words in edgewise. Honestly, the show is a mess, and it's annoying. Ross, you deserve a much better forum.

Can't wait to see TTS version of the show. Maybe that's why the ladies were a little out of sorts--a camera crew concentrating on our rising star and not on them?

I've never seen The View, but I turned it on today to see Ross.

Ross, you were great! Articulate, fun, witty, and handsome.

To be honest bloggers, I did not see all of the rudeness which is a major part of your comments.

What I saw was a group of friends interacting with each other. Different personalities? Definitely! Agreements/disagreements/explanations/and banter.

It was a good show with a Great Ross. I totally enjoyed the interactions and his personality shining through.

Just my 2 cents worth

Ross,
You were great on The View. Your Mom must be so proud of you. And she looked so good. When will this be on the Tonight show?

Love you Ross,
Nancy

oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I missed out on the View.....I'm so pissed about it ....I'm sorry Ross and blog buddies....well..

My brother passed away at sunrise this past Sunday, to say the least..I'm so very sad...well what do you say at this time..I don't know...still in shock :(

I'm not wanting noise , so the TV and everything had been turned off till today...came here to check up on Ross...and found I had missed the show with him :(

Love...is really all we need

Love ya

Mary

Ross~ Great Job!! I esp loved the sarong segment...you are too cute!

So how did it feel? I bet it went quick. Any news of when you will be co-hosting again?

xoxo

ps...come into CHAT tonight!

The ladies weren't that mean to Ross... the view ladies are like a geriatric version of that movie "Mean Girls"... they talk to everyone like that.

Ross is the light, that's what made him stand out today.

We are soo soo proud:-)

Below is the e-mail I sent BW re todays show:

Dear Ms Walters, I am sure you are inundated with negative comments about the rudeness that was shown to your guesthost today. From your first comment of "do you think that (applause)is all for you, to "no, you can't have the cup," to "be quiet" ... very bad form Barbara. I was embarrassed for you. How sad that a lady that has been so admired has fallen so far in just an hour. Regretfully.

Ross, loved the jacket! You looked great! Sorry the ladies weren't letting you get a word in edgewise, but you are a gentle, polite soul, and they are man-eating barracudas.

It is a new moon, so that might explain why they were ruder to Ross than they are to the other guest hosts. Also, I think there might be some jealousy - NBC cameras were following Ross for a spot on Leno, and when Joy has made one of her rare Leno appearances, she's as excited about that as Ross is about The View. Those women just aren't Leno calibre, certainly not on a recurring basis!

Elizabeth's dress and shoes were darling, but pregnant women see her and think they can wear those high heels, too...not a good idea, and she should keep that in mind. Also, she needs to give up the tanning spray stuff. Orange is not becoming. Does she not look in a mirror?

Ross, you were so funny in the sarong!

Okay, back out to finish watering. It seems to have stopped raining and I think in spite of paying someone to water, some of the plants are dead.

Ross
You were fabulous today! Your mom looked great!

Mary, I'm soo sorry for your loss. You & your family are in my prayers. Enjoy more peace and quiet today.

It was a zipper

Ross, You looked fabulous today. I think you handled the women very well.
Mom -it was so good to see you on TV. I said "Hi Ross's Mom". I was so excited my husband came in to watch with me.

You are total class. I hope you feel good about co-hosting the view. You were incredible. Cant wait till you have your own show.

www.phonezoo.com

I missed it now I'm sad :(
oooow

Mary-so sorry for your loss.

Mom_Ross-Lovely as always. Watch out Ross, you may be having to share your rising star with another Mathews...

Shout out to Eric and Amy~~~ how are the newlyweds doing? Congrats again.

**PERSONAL POST for momx5 & Yaklots regarding Boz**

See please see Area 51

Hi Ross,

I loved you on The View today.
You should have your own talk show and I hope someone offers it to you real soon. I think a fun format like Ellen's show would be excellent for you.
And I would love to see you on at the same time as The View. You would blow them away!
You looked handsome and well put together. Oh, and your talky blog was very entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

xoxo
Mink Pinkowitz

Thank you so much...very kind, Sybie and goldie

Hey Blog Buddies... I missed the View this morning (due to bad weather and icky reception because of the weather)... Does anyone know if the episode will be posted online anywhere?? AHHHHHH I want to see it sooooo badly... Any thoughts??

It is days like this when I miss Meredith the most. She was always so warm and welcoming to everyone and would have taken Ross under her wing. She probably would have let you feel her up too, ala Susan Powter!!!! (*)(*)

Ross you did a great job despite some hurdles, AKA The Ladies of The View.

=^..^=

And what was up with the snoozville hot topics today. Not much to work with there.

yay some of it is on abc.com i'm happy now :)

From the moment it started I thought "What is their (ladies) problem?" I'm appalled at how they mistreated our Ross! Why would you treat a guest like that? Triple love to you Ross!

You DID NOT deserve to be treated like that, but you sure showed them by staying true to you and holding on to your excitement and positive energy. You have shown us a great example of how a "true star" should behave...you rose above all their rude and tacky BS with style and grace. Way to go Ross!

First of all you get a A+. You were wonderful on the View however, I don't think the view is for you. There are better things coming your way. WAY BETTER!!

Mary:
I am sorry you lost your brother, may you always walk with the laughter of him in your mind, and his love in your heart.
Aloha~

Mikey,

I echo your sentiments. Mom did a GREAT job raising 2 wonderful boys.

And she looked beautiful on the show today :)

p.s. My 2 days to Kathy Griffin is when I see her in concert here in TEXAS! :)

1st-- Ross you were wonderful today!! You're always so adorable and so sweet and so funny.

2nd-- I'm glad I'm not the only person that thought Barbara was being really rude to Ross. She was rude all through but especially at the end when she told him to be quiet and enjoy the view. I also didn't appreciate Joy's gay comment either. It came out of nowhere and for no apparent reason.

3rd-- I did think Ross and Elisabeth were fine together. I am probably one of few who actually like both Rosie and Elisabeth.

4th-- I hope they give Ross another chance to go back sometime to co-host. IF he would even want to do it. I generally watch the show every day but I did not watch when Mario was on, can't stand him, so annoying. I also hope that Ross and Rosie eventually come up with a show together... just a light fun show, it would be awesome.

Keep being you Ross and stick with Jay Leno... he gives you the respect you deserve! You did such a great job!!!
Hugggs :-)

Ross ~

JUst saw the view!
Everyone clapped so much for you when you came out~
Your mom looked lovely!
You did a great job
Just need more of you ~

Kristin Chenoweth is just so adorable, She has so much talent!

Ross we all luv ya

Happy smiles

TO: Mary-Great NW ~

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers today.

You did us proud, Ross!! I really enjoyed you on the show. Always upbeat and that killer smile!!!

I'm not a huge fan of The View. I watched because you were on it. I enjoyed Rosie when she was on it.

Other than that, The View isn't my thing. They talk over each other and it's very annoying to me.

Better things to come! Congrats!!

Oh! Your mom looked beautiful in the audience.

Ross. You looked intimidated by the ladies. Your input into any of the conversations was shallow. How could you just sit there and look bemused when Joy called you the "Gay from Iowa".. You were out of your league today Ross. You don't have what it takes to be one of the girls. Stick with the blogs.

I watch The View everday since Rosie premiered and I have NEVER seen them be more rude to co-host. I find it hard to believe some of you saying "They treat all the guest hosts like that," because no, they don't.

VERY shocked at Joy's strange attitude, Babwa was her usual self (rolls eyes), also shocked by how NICE Liz was to Ross. They weren't NEARLY as rude to that lunatic Star woman they had on (not Star Jones). Several things that Joy said were just in bad taste, WAY moreso than usual. But ah well, Ross was awesome, as always, they were probably pissy because they had on a co-host that FAR outshined them in every way. Nice job, Ross.

hey ross! you were AWESOME!

Ross,
You looked stunning on 'The View.' I was rather upset that you really did not get a chance to speak much and show how wonderful, spontaneous, and funny you really are. I tell ya what, I think you need a show with with people that will respect you and allow you to 'shine!'

I agree with Mopar!

He is a follower not a leader by far!

Mary
Sorry to hear about your brother.
((((((HUGS))))))

Dr Dan..
having not seen the show, I was kinda holding off on posting, but you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
wading through all the posts today has been kinda depressing..
What should be an insanely happy moment for Ross just seemed icky.
I for one am just going to be happy for the wonderful opportunity that he has had and leave the negativity to someone else..
and at least wait to see how ross feels about his day.
When you go out looking for something negative and pick it apart for just that.. well.. sometimes it's hard to see the bigger picture..
GO ROSS!!! I've heard you were fantastic and I can't wait to see it for myself!
love,
b

Ross, I don't mean to sound maternal, but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! You conducted yourself with true class, which is more than can be said for your co-hosts. Luckily, YOU DON'T NEED THEM! This was your day to shine and that you did! Now on to the next adventure.

To my fellow blog-buddies: I've emailed Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth to let them know my thoughts and I think you should too! This is what I wrote:

"Dear Barbara,
I was very excited to watch The View this morning, though I must admit I had not watched since Rosie left. My excitement stemmed from the fact that Ross Matthews would be a guest co-host. I am a regular reader of Ross' blog and know how thrilled he was about his upcoming gig on your show. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to see what poor hosts you and Joy were (but especially you, Barbara) to your guest. Ross is a kind, generous, vibrant young man with an open mind and a very open heart, and I found your constant snide remarks, eye-rolling and general condescending demeanor towards him very distasteful. Now I am certainly no fan of Elisabeth, but it was very clear that she was the only one making any attempt to be gracious. You should have considered yourselves lucky to have such a charismatic rising star on your show, but you and Joy were just plain mean and show be ashamed of yourselves. I tuned out of the view a while ago, and now have confirmation of why I need not ever tune back in.

Dear Elisabeth,
Though I do not consider myself a fan of your views, I wanted to thank you for being the only gracious host to your guest this morning, Ross Matthews. I thought your colleagues' behavior was deplorable, and have let them know this via email. Thank you for being kind. I may not always (ever) agree with you, but today you showed class when others showed none. Except for Ross, of course, as he is always a class act."

Ross: You and Elisabeth showed a lot of class and grace today. Congratulations on a job well done!!

Ross...
You did freaking fantastic! I wish I could say the same for the rest of them. I stopped watching when Ro left. Today was the first time I have watched since that time. I am ashamed of the women of the view. I thought they treated you with disrespect. Ross...as hard as it would be to say no...I don't think you should ever darken their doors again.
I am done with The View. This show has gone about as low as a show can go.

The View is toast, but you Ross are the most!! You have a brilliant future, I predict!!

Mary,
My condolences on the loss of your brother.

Ross. From my View...You looked scared today!
PINEAPPLE! PINEAPPLE!

Ross,

Professional. That is it!

Grace to you my friend. Hugs to Mom!

Auntie Mame,

Will you give us a report on Kathy Griffin after you see her? Would be great!

Mary-NW
I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my brother several years ago. I hope you will eventually remember your brother's memory only with joy as I do mine. It may take time, though; allow yourself that.

Brie the cheese, you should be able to go to abc.com and click on the View icon & watch the show.
Mary, sorry for your loss.

Am I the only one that thought Ross did well, & they treated him pretty much like every other co-host? (besides the gay Idaho remark) BW is close to 80! Her humor is not very hip, if you will, & she chose to wear a jacket w/something hanging from her ta ta, even if it was a zipper bad choice. Joy was trying to be funny, & was a lil offensive, but its not the 1st time!
I think everyone here loves Ross and wanted him to be treated "better" than just the average co-host because he so not the average person.
I'm not bitter I think Ross did great. I haven't watched the View since Rosie left, & watched to day and probably won't watch again unless Ross goes back. The girls on the View were like any other day & thats why most of us don't watch BUT Ross was GREAT!!! & I agree that Elisabeth was very nice!

Just my two cents.. Joy's comment was a jab at Idaho, not at Ross.

Again, Ross was fantastic!

auntie mame!
had no idea (or did I???) that you were goin to see kathy! we see her here next month CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
shhh though.. don't tell me anything! I wanna laugh my AO..
:)

You and Kathy Griffin are the only two people i have seen lately that are good co-hosts. Congrats!

I just watched the whole hot topics portion of the View again and I think I may have been a little hasty in my original reaction. Joy was really just being Joy... she wasn't really any more rude to Ross than to anyone else. Barbara kept trying to make Ross feel welcome. I think she may just be a bit too old for his style.

I still don't think it's the right kind of show for Ross to co-host though, because they just aren't cheeful enough. Just look what they did to Rosie.

If you can, I suggest watching again. I was in the middle of writing a nasty letter to Joy, but wanted to check my facts before sending it. I'm glad I did.

Luv & Peace

lynmarie.wordpress.com

Ok so watched the View and I have to say I think people over reacted on here. Did I miss something? She did tell him to be quiet but I thought it was kind of kidding? Am I wrong? Anyway, ross you were WONDERFUL!!! LOVED the outfit. Your Mom looked great you were wonderful. Just yourself and screw them if they were being rude.
Will look forward to what Tonight Show does with it. Love ya.
Janine In Raining Bellevue!

My Ladies let. me. down.
I will not be watching again
unless they apologize to Ross.

Ross as always you were fabulous, fun & professional in the face of madness and managed to be yourself
even with all the stifling
going on.

Come ON! people.

:)

not for Ross's sweet ears,
I try to post only positive but i need to vent.
Everyone, write to the view. If they receive many emails they may just think about it a little.

BW has always been a fake. She once filmed a reserve showing the houses burnt down but refused to show the new houses built across the road.
Her reporting has always been skewed. Dont you think its evident by the way she acts publicly? bash paris, lindsay,etc then retract.
I so believe that she told Trump what he said she did (rolling in mud with pigs).

Hence the eye-rolling to appease the right-wingers.

we now return to the regular positive and happy program

Oh i totally agree the Joy Idaho remark was a jab at Idaho, but easily misconstrued?(SP) because I think she thought he grew up there and then he corrected her. I think everyone did over react a lil and if you can go back and watch it over, you would see.

I watched after reading some comments, and I thought i was going to have to kick someones butt! :) j/k
Maybe, it was good I read the comments 1st because I really don't think joy or bw were that bad to him, & he held his own and was absolutely freakin perfect!!!

Dr. Llama face? :P,
you know I know people who can deal with tennis playaz such as as yourself ;)

time for a "meeting"

**Everyone has a bad day maybe that is what happened with Barbara. Also, I think it is good that he didn't mention Rosie. Don't get me wrong, because I LOVE ROSIE. However, I think he needed to let his talent shine and he did!

Don't you also think it was kind of weird how obviously Elisabeth was the "good guy". Maybe this was her way of softening her image.

Thank you RFC read your comment in Area 51. My daughter would really be interested in that article, so thank you! Glad that Boz is on the mend & you were here to help Birdee!
Peace

RFC and momx5 - Help! How do I find Area 51?

Ross,
I'm so super upset that I missed your appearance on the view! I was so excited to see it, but it comes on here exactly at the same time as my sons swimming lessons and I do not have Tivo or DVR. Anyway, it sounds like you were great and the ladies not so great. That's too bad. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I love every post you make. Also, I just need to give Elizabeth a shout out. I love the girl, I love Rosie too. What happened between them is unfortunate. There are a lot of Elizabeth haters here and that's too bad. Anyway, I'm going to find a way to watch that show and I can't wait to hear what you thought about it!! I'm so happy for your accomplishments.

Area 51 is what we refer to as the comments for the day before, so go to yesterdays comments!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PUT THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE?????? I was working and could not watch it.

-Billy

Barbara,

I was pretty ticked off at you & Elisabeth re Rosie, but I kept watching hoping that I

was wrong. Well I was not wrong! At the very end of the show you were so rude to

Ross. If you don't think so watch the end of the show. You shushed Ross up by saying

"Take a little time to just be quiet & enjoy the view. O.K.?" All the time patting his

hand.

Also why did you NOT engage him in conversation? The only thing mentioned was

Ross the intern from the The Tonight show. He mentioned his blog, his dog Louise

and his Mom in the audience. You always talk to the guest co-host and get to know

who they are and what they are about. But not this time. Indeed you thought Ross

was a gossip columnist or something. I'm sure you don't know this but Ross has a

huge following and they may be angry as well. And how are your ratings since Rosie

left?

Why do you let Elisabeth go on & on with her extreme right wing rants? We all know

where she is coming from, you should have shushed her. I will no longer be watching

the View and I have lost all respect for you Barbara. I have written my last letter to

you as well.

bBlog Buddies:

Write NBC and tell them Ross needs a show of his own!

Instead of writing the "View" who can do nothing for Ross. Write his employer and Jay Leno and let them know how much you love and enjoy Ross. He is a "Natural" talent.

Ross is a true American Success Story. He is one of us, we can all identify with him, his weight struggle, his dreams, starting off at the bottom and working his way up. The love for his family and friends.

He was able to accomplish all this with his positive attitude and stick-to-itness that we all enjoy. He gives us hope that maybe we can make it to. He is an example of what working towards your dreams can deliver.

Ross you where a true gentleman on the "View" this morning, as you always are. You looked GREAT and came off as a genuine person who exudes grace and dignity.

Don't let "small" minds and "jealousy" of others bring you down. I am refering to the "ladies" of the View. The standing ovation was for YOU. You were brillant. You were GREAT in the beach wear segment. The true essence of Ross showed through. You stepped up to the plate and kept on swinging. I would want you in my Foxhole anytime. I loved the line, "It's sarong, it's right". You also looked like you could have a modeling career.

Ross, I love who you are. Best of Luck and I'll be writing NBC and Jay Leno on your behalf.

Your Blog Buddy Fan,
Laura from Morris, Illinois

No kidding!?

Thanks a bunch. Going there!

I am so proud of Jay Leno. Last night, he gushed about his "son" Ross (alright his and Kevin the band leader's son), being on the view. Then the Tonight Show put Mom and Ross up in such a nice place and bought him clothes. I just like him so freakin' much right now.

And I can't wait until Jay talks about the show again. I'm guessing he'll have something to say!!!

Ross, dearest, you are stellar. GLORIOUS. I salute you with my Starbucks!

& I really think the worst thing that was said was by BW because it sexist, saying something along the lines of, We have never had a male co-host a probably never will again, this is just a one time occasion. Did anyone else think that was wrong? I think a male perspective on the View wouldn't be such a bad thing, it would just have to be the right guy!

okay i feel dirty posting negative.

So Happy Tuesday y'all

Mary -Great NW - So sorry to hear of your loss. glad you came here. Its usually good for a smile.

Hey Ross,
Great job!! I remember reading that why you want to be a talk show host is because you saw the happiness it brought your mom as she watched Regis and Kathy Lee.
You do bring happiness. Your optimistic, friendly, kind, and articulate. I definitely see a future for you.
Today, however, I was embarrassed for my gender. The ladies were so caught up in their own ego's, so condesending. And yet, what's amazing is that under that pressure of watching three egotistical women fight to get a word in edgewise, you remained yourself. Once again, showing class touched with humor and lightening the moments.
You did a great job in a tough situation.

Ross...you were WONDERFUL on THE VIEW today! You were sweet, charming, and handsome as usual...however; you were also PAWFECT with your interviewing and comments! I was a bit distressed with some of the View gals comments and not letting you "chime in", but I guess that's the way they are. Anyway, would LOVE to see you and Rosie in the near future do a show together. Again, CONGRATS on your very special day!
xoxo Cindy

you are so welcome yaklots!!!
:D Glad to be of service!!

I went from such a high watching this morning's Talky Blog to such a surpirsed low watching the show I had to blog about it!
so if you want my more long winded opinion go to
www.myspace.com/mntnmadness
I know you do Dr.Daniel...not
:)

I ask you…

What. Are. The. FREAKIN’. Chances.

That on Tuesday, July 17 at 10:06 in the freakin, morning, 6 minutes into Ross’ finest hour…the freakin CABLE WOULD GO OUT and stay out for 4 freakin’ hours!?!?

Comcast Freakin’ Comcast
How do I hate thee?
Let me count the ways…

And now I shall compose myself and go read the 500+ comments to see what the freak I missed.

The whole point of the show for Barbara from the beginning was that she would have four different viewpoints from four different THINKING women. It was all about the women from day one. Because of the underrepresentation of women with a brain being on television. Let her keep it the way she envisioned it. This is not the show Ross needs--it's not really "Ross-like."

Ross deserves to be the star of his own show--not on a show where he has to scream over others to get his angelic voice heard.

It'll come. He should not settle for second best.

Hi Ross,

You were great today! If they Knew what they were doing on that show, they would have featured you more. As it is, you will be snapped up for something else, leaving "The View" in the dust. And Barbara was just horrible.

ditto that daddykevin
and Laura

****ALERT***PERSONAL POST*****

BIRDEE, RFC, momx5 -

Great news! Hope all continues to go well.

HAPPY DAY FOR ROSS & BOZ, TOO!

Dylan I am offended by your comment! What's wrong with gay? NOTHING, people are gay they act gay because they are WHO cares. How would you like to be told you were acting too straight like as if it were a negative thing and you were just being yourself? How would that make you feel??? HUH HUH! Hey I am straight person raised by gay women. Gay is the same as being white, black, asian, you just are! Your comment was prejudice and there is no room for that here or in America. Ross represents me, my culture, like it or not. I want to see him on TV. I want to see more people like him on TV! TOLERANCE PEOPLE. peace!

Ross - You were AMAZING! I would watch the View if you were one anyday:) I agree that the women didn't seem welcoming to you, but I thought you handled it wonderfully. Although it was fun, you are better than that bitchfest. Mucho besos!

Sorry guys don't like to argue and you never see me doing that here but in this case I had too. Won't do it again. Ignore the elephant or should I say homophobes.

I haven't read all the above comments, but I agree the View women were rude to you and didn't let you speak...hell, they don't even let each other speak. Keep being yourself Ross...you don't need the View and neither do we.

PSS...Ross you are Fabulous!

I've been trying to get into the chat...is it super busy today with everyone there chatting about the horrible way BW treated Ross today? Or is it just me?

BFFLouisiana Jen

My bad
Forgot to say that I sent the above note to BW at The View. 13:59:56

OMFG...........TIME WARNER TIVO BLOWS............I TIVO'D THE VIEW BUT THERE WAS AN "ERROR RECORDING YOUR PROGRAM SOME MAY BE LOST" YEA LIKE 59 MINUTES OF IT........

CAN ANYONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO FIND A RERUN OR PERHAPS SOME CLIPS FROM THE SHOW

Hey all. I had issues earlier. Let's see if it works this time. Here's my post:

Wow. Some of you have very strong op pinions about The View. I thought everything went well. Don't mind them cutting off Ross, they always cut people off. And Barbara was just her Barbara self. I didn't see any problems. I think they treated Ross with the same respect they treat all of their guest co-host, maybe even more.

Did anyone notice how Ross took them to commercial in one of the last segments and introduced Kristin Chenowith. Most first time co-host are not given that much responsibility. Usually Barbara takes us to break.

And on the Rosie thing, they did mention her. They said that she donated to Hilary Clinton's campaign. I don't think they have to talk about her cruise unless they want to.
The only thing I don't like is how they have Sherri Shepherd (a Black Woman) on to talk about Al Sharpton and Ross to talk about some anti-gay governor. They shouldn't be so choosy. Its not like Sherri can speak for all Black people and Ross can speak for all gay people. People are different and I think the View needs to look more closely at how they are selecting topics for their guest Co-host.

TTFN,

Happy Tuesday!!!

Ross - thanks for the early morning Talky Blog!!! As for the View - You were AMAZING!! Looked great and I feel handled yourself with grace, class and dignity!! Can't wait to read tomorrow about your experience!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!

A Ross-related post just went up on ONTD ("Oh No They Didn't" -- a gossip blog).

community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/13973405.html#cutid2

Prefix the above link with "http://".

Hopefully this will post!

JOI,

Even gay guys say, "I don't like Fems." Only interested in masculine acting guys. Does that offend the gay population The majority of the viewers of The View are Str8 and make fun of FEMS. It's just the fact! Not to mention that they come across as weak and passive. That is why Ross was never able to get a word in. They just don't get the respect they want. Sorry!! It's a fact!

Wow...

For all that coveted bashing of EH, which I am very proud that you didn't, She was the only one I found to be kind to you. She was even flirty. Joy was exactly what I said she would be. I knew you would never be mean to anyone but EH was kind right back atcha.
Wish I could say the same for the rest of the co-host.

We sure did find out who has class.

Daniel - I think you are talking to "deaf" ears!! But it was certainly worth a try.

Mary - so sorry for your loss.

Yooka - thanks for the east coast feed!!

Nesser - glad that I could help you out today - and I'm SO happy you are having a good hair day!!! LOL

I tried to help out for the west coast one - I understand the sound kept cutting out - sorry!!

Joey - sorry that your date didn't happen!!

Birdee - how is your puppy?

Welcome all the new posters!! Enjoy!!

ONTD comments are usually extremely rude -- like those on Perez' site, most post for shock-value. And yet, the comments to the post (see my prior post for the link) are LOVING Ross :) !!! YAY !!!

Loved, loved you on The View today, you were great but I don't know why Barbara kept making a face like she didn't know what she had you on for, I thought that was rude on her part. I can't take Elizabeth and her rambling on and on, she is so darn boring, I can see why Rosie would get upset with her.
I think you are a sweetheart, such a nice guy.

ross...you looked fabulous on the view. it's been confirmed for the that i will no longer watch the view from this day forward. barbara walters should be ashamed of how she treated ross. she was elietst (sp?), rude, caty and just downright mean to ross. i havn't watched the view since rosie left and i will never again. i hate the way barbara talks, she takes too long to get anything out of her mouth, half the time what comes out doesn't make any sense. ugh!

ross i love you and you did great today inspite of "the view"!

Ross, let us know how you are doing. Please post. Thanks! I thought you did very well.

You were great!!! I've gotta say, though, they're not good enough for you. I don't think they "get" how much your energy and sheer joy would bring to their little show. Just as they couldn't handle Rosie's spectacular "realness". Keep on being you, I know you're going to land somewhere where you'll change lives and attitudes... you do it daily on your blog... I just know there are big things coming your way. *hugs* :)

--Pam

Protective of HIM (not them)

I am truly sorry for any negativity I added to the blog today. I love Ross and feel very protective of them, for some strange reason.
I love all of my Blog Buddies too. I hope you all know that.

Ross,

Hope you read this. Do you ever read this far down?

This is my first post. Just want you to know that you have totally made my summer. No time for vacation this year for me, but letting us all hang out with you has made me soooo happy! You are so fun, sweet and just plan awesome. I am a huge fan! I wish you could come and hang out!

You were wonderful (as always) today on the View. Yeah, I do agree that BW and Joy were rude.... Hope you are not upset. Just know that YOU ROCK! Just keep on being you. We love you!

Cathy

Hi Ross and mom_Ross. Enjoyed you both on The View today!

This blog has the most interesting variety of comments today. Lovers and haters and everything in between. It's intriguing how everyone can watch the same thing and see something completely different.

Ross - you were absolutely yourself and your hosting today was great and your wardrobe choice was perfection! When you modeled the sarong, I spit up my gulp of water. It was the perfect thing to do! I just love you to pieces and wish only good things for you and your career. Thanks for taking us along with this blog!

Peace all! :)

****Anonymous****

If you want to know what Barb said at the very end I would be more than happy to tell you. Just please post with your name so I know who to address my reply to.

Ross--You were GREAT!! I was so happy that you got to fulfill a dream and make your mom proud. You looked very nice and you carried yourself with dignity. Jay Leno should be very proud of "his son". LOL

Am I mistaken or wasn't the thing on BW's ta-ta her mic? Or is everyone referring to something else?

*********ALERT****************For anyone who missed Ross today on The View:

If you click on the following link (make sure to add http:/)

abc.go.abc.go.com/video/index#

you can look under "Daytime" to find The View, and the most recent 3 listings star Ross.

Hope this helps!:)

1..I thought you were FanfriggenTastic! I even was a little verklempt when u walked out.

2. I was getting annoyed with Barbra's facial expressions towards you and at the end of the show.

3..I wonder if you had to sign a confidentiality contract as to not discuss your true thoughts.

As Molly Shannon would say..

" Superstah"!

Dr_Dan..theP.R.man...you are so right! I admire your way with words and your positive "tude"
Ross needs to hire you up as his celeb grows
Ross we are all happy for you and proud of you

Not sure if you will get this far down but I hope that, dearest Ross, if this experience today did not measure up to your expectations, then perhaps some insight happened instead. And please don't apologize for what you look like in the morning! With those gorgeous baby brown eyes, you look better than most after a make-over!

You are loved and lovable. [And the reply from the rest of the posters: well DUH!]

LaurieG,
Thanks for the post to the pics of Ross.

Didn't notice in the talky blog but in the pics noticed -- Tattoo is all gone!!

Hi Ross and BB's

I agree with everyone who said that the View ladies were mean and rude. I actually fell asleep during the show (sorry Ross) because they were not letting you talk at all. I felt uncomfortable for you at times. You did wonderfully given who/what you had to work with, but I've never been a View fan, and I don't plan on watching it ever again.

You are better than that Ross!! You were wonderful on the View, but it's not for you... you are above them!

Lots of Love! xoxox

Can we all affirm how much we loved Ross on The View?!!!! He was brilliant.

Thanks, LaurieG, for the link to ONTD!. The photos look great; NBC should have a really fun segment from Ross' latest adventure. Go NBC!

when i first watched this morning i thought joy was giving him a hard time. after reading all these comments i rewatched it and i think they treated ross just fine. ross, you did great!! you are very natural in front of the camera and exude such a positive attitude - it's infectious!!

Ross, loved you on the View, but I thought BW was extremely rude and condescending to you! Did you get the same feeling or was it just me? I thought you were great!

OHHHH NOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! !

I came home from work to find .... THE VIEW DIDN'T RECORD..... I'm sooo bummed ! ! !

Ross I'm sure you were a bright shining star today, and made everyone proud. :)

Dr_Dan .... Will you be my friend.. LOL I just really appreciate the fact that you try to see the bright side of a situation. It's nice that you don't just say that you want someone to be happy, but that you MEAN IT ! ! !

There are so many blog buddies that have commented today .... I'd hate to forget anyone so I'll just say ... HELLO TO EVERYONE ! ! ! !

Smiling David :)

U DID WONDERFULL TODAY!!
I just LOVE the fact that u talked over elizabeth so u can get ur point across. cuz honestly who gives a rats ass what she has to say!!! but i hope that ur gonna be able to go back soon!!
love ya!

I just sent an email to Barbara tellingher how rude she was to you. It is strange because when you were a guest last month she seemed so warm to you and today she was so cold. You were great though!!

Daddykevin and whoever else mentioned it -- There was a reason the Tonight Show paid for last night's hotel and bought the outfit. They sent a TTS crew to film the shopping and Ross' backstage stuff on the View for an upcoming segment. At least that is what I understood from some of the other comments Ross made. I think it was a "business" expense, not just a magnanimous (spelling?) gesture on Jay's part. :) That is what I thought anyway -- maybe Daria or someone in the know can verify that.

Hi Ross & Blog Buddies,

First time posting!! I guess your treatment on the View made us all sit up and write! Wow...I thought they were super mean to you also.
However, to take the good things from the experience would be the love, support and excitement from your blog buddies! And yes, I'm dying for the Ross n Rosie show too!
You were great, keep following your dreams and yes the Karma will come back to you :-)

Ross,
I watch the view today just because you were going to be on. And of course you were fantastic as always!!! You had next to nothing to work with since the Barb and Joy were acting like jerks. But you pulled it off Ross because you have more talent and personality than those ladies on The View obviously showed today. Since Meridith left and then Rosie, that show is and never will be the same because they have scared their own reputations on that show with their rude and snobbish attitudes.
Anyway Ross, you are way to good for that show! The View ladies have lost their status and you Sir are sure to be a BIG STAR because you are a bight light that brings so much fun and laughter to us all in this sometimes sad and stressful world.
Keep doing what your doing!!! Much Love To You....

Dr. Dan - you were right. This is about ROSS, not them.

Ross, you were wonderful. You looked fantastic; the outfit was the right combination of professional, classy and fun (the shoes!). You looked comfortable behind the desk, and were great on camera and with the guests. Your commments about Karma were right on - you know it's true and so do we. :)

I do think that Jay Leno knows "star quality" when he sees it.

Great job Ross! You should be very proud.

Oh Kevin, you blew out the template, lol.

Biscy, yes we are going to KG on Thursday at The Majestic. Promise not to let any spoilers out. The good thing about her is she keeps her material pretty fresh! I can't wait!!!!

Ross, I thought you were just great today. After reading previous comments on how rude the ladies were to you I was ready to not enjoy the show (west coast viewer here). But it was a fun show. Barbara was being Barbara and Joy was Joy. I bet you had a great time! Looking forward to your "view"!

Has anyone been able to get into rosie's site. I haven't been able to since early this morning!

grandma moses - I've been getting in fine all day. Just double-checked, and it's still fine.

Yes Gramma, I've been checking ROSIE all day - there was a jahero movie this am which I had a lttle trouble with, but finally worked, and she updated questions, twice,(which I missed - I always do), and now she is "taking a little break". One of her previous answers said she was promoting her book today, thus the reason she was getting her hair done. That all I know my fellow stranger friend. Take Care.

You were GREAT on the View, Ross! I wish Barbara Walters could shut Elizabitch up so that you and Joy could of talked more. Thar girl talks for 2 now, and doesn't even get quiet when Barbara says QUIET!
Anyway, you were wonderful, loved ya, Ross.

kev babe..
you totally just blew the blog template.. :(

Ross, you are a star! Congratulations on your sting on The View.

Oops, sorry, should've proofread my previous post, should've said "stint".

Baja Dan, how are you doing? Our thoughts are with you, sending hugs your way :-)

Mary, so sorry for your loss.

I agree. Yay for Mom_Ross!

Such a Classy Lady... yet down to earth and grounded... quiet/reserved/non-Hollywood type...yet a rock, model and good sport, willing to "be there" for her children.

I think, that's where Ross gets it. Real, true yet kind.

Can Mom_Ross please be my Mom for a little bit or at least give hints to us Moms out here on being a great Mom?

Oh yeah... you did good today too, Ross. : )

Wonderful job Ross!

I agree. Yay for Mom_Ross!

Such a Classy Lady... yet down to earth and grounded... quiet/reserved/non-Hollywood type...yet a rock, model and good sport, willing to "be there" for her children.

K..First of all lemme just say Ross, precious darling - you are sexy as H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS when you first wake up!! Just adorable. And I love the lil nervous jittery way you get before a big appearance.

Now, on to some sad news. I am in Charlotte for work and couldn't watch The View! I have it tivo'd at home but won't be able to see it until Friday?! @$%^$%& I am so disgusted! So, I didn't read any comments today for fear of a spoiler. Ok...I am going to pout now.

Peace out.....

I am a huge ross fan I stopped watching the veiw when rosie left i watched today to support ross how ever i could not beleive how rude they were to you ross. did anyone else notice that. lots of love from stephanie in MD

Beth C. R U kidding? U wish Joy had more time to hurl insults (she wasn't being nice when she called him the gay boy from Idaho or made fun of his belief in Karma) Elisabeth haters just can't accept fact that she is bright, pretty & gracious.

Karma. What goes around. They made their final kill. What else did you expect ?

Good Evening Blog,
Let me 1st start by telling u all how disappointed I was in watching the view today. I havn't watched since Ro left and thought everyone deserves a 2nd chance but, I was sadly mistaken I really thought when u r a guest somewhere u should be welcomed and feel at home. Poor Ross I know it made him sad. His spirit is nothing like that negative energy in that room today. I felt so bad and even embarassed. That show does not relize what they just missed out on. They did not let Ross get one word out. I am sorry that I was sooo long on my vent but, I could not restrain myself.

This is so far down on the comments, I am pretty sure Ross won't see it, but I have to agree with everyone else. I watched The View when I got home and I was so disappointed with the reception that Ross got from the so-called "ladies". Ross, you were wonderful and how exciting it was for us all to see Mom in the audience, but you really are too good for that show and I hope that ABC pays attention to the comments and e-mails that they are getting from us. There is no excuse for being rude to a guest and they were definitely rude to you. I hope that you are ok and that you are not too hurt or let down by the experience that you were so looking forward to.

I have a strong feeling ross is not taking his appearance on "the view" this morning very well. BW and JH were rude, no doubt. But He is being strangely silent at present. Will he be honest when he finally replies to these blogs???? Or will he gloss over what happened.

Really, I
am a right-wing ROSIE fan (an oxymoron, I know) . . . because she is honest "to the bone". Ross is too "OMG - I am totally in love with you" with EVERYBODY. More of a kiss ass, compared to the naked honesty and raw openness of ROSIE who tells it like it is. LOVE HER!
Ok, just, my thoughts

Ross, baby....

My brother and I both agree that you did a WONDERFUL job. Young man, you handled yourself quite well, and I would be proud if you were my child.

And I won't say anything about your singing....

BUT I really do love you.

Ross, I would like to simpily say your outfit just classic just like you!

You did an out standing job on the Veiw today! You looked like you were really enjoying your self.

And you truly held your own with the View Ladies.

Shout out to Mother Ross...You looked very stylish!

Ross-
Wonderful job. You are the picture of grace, class & dignity with humor and kindness rolled in. I must agree with the others that BW was really rude. I will email her next to let her know. She has been so irritable since Rosie left. I'm done with The View, but you are an amazing individual, so give yourself a nice pat on the back. You did an amazing job.

Finally I get around to comment, but it's .... sheesh # 620 something???? WOW busy here today.

I was able to watch The View. I could not believe BW. She was rude and disrespectful to Ross. I have never seen her treat a guest host the way she did today.

But, Ross, rose above it and out classed all the ladies.

And Joy? She needed a chill pill today. I was yelling....GREEN TEA!! GREEN TEA!!

And the one I least like, EH. Well, damn if she didn't look very comfortable around Ross. Maybe because she knows he's close with Rosie and maybe she's afraid of the back lash she might have received? Well, kudos to her.

MOM-ROSS---------please PLEASE tell us if that pillow works.

AND Ross----- I want that SARONG!!! It's my colors!!!

Well, this is post #620something about the same thing everyone else has said.... same same same but I don't care cuz...........

~~Hello, I'm Sandy and I'm a RossnRosieaholic~~

Well, it looks like the feedback says it all... this looks like it just may be the end of someone's 15-minutes... how was the ride?

I have a strong feeling ross is not taking all this very well. B and J were SO rude, no doubt. But He is being strangely silent at present. Will he be honest when he finally replies to these blogs???? Or will he gloss over what happened?????????

Really, I am a right-wing ROSIE fan (oxymoron, I know) . . . because she is honest "TO THE BONE". Ross is too "OMG - I am totally in love with you, and you, and you . . " with EVERYBODY. More of a kiss ass, compared to the naked honesty and raw openness of ROSIE who tells it like it is. LOVE HER! I am sure Ross is sweet, but he needs to be more REAL!
Ok, just, my thoughts

Ross-

I thought you were GREAT! Really....the best of all of them and this was your first time!

Yeah.....it would have been a helluva lot better with Rosie but you were great regardless and that is even more impressive!

Bravo!

you were great on the view today!!!!!!!!!!!

I've watched The View from the beginning, and I enjoyed it up until Meredith Viera and Star Jones left. Then, I was excited when Rosie became a co-host. After she left and NOW after seeing how rude BW and JB were to Ross today, I will NOT be watching anymore! I noticed when Kathy Griffin co-hosted, she seemed to be looked down upon, too. BW made a comment to her essentially stating that if she wanted to come back, she would be on her best behavior. The View is supposed to be about everyone getting the chance to speak THEIR views, not censorship! So, anyway, I'm hoping Ross and Rosie will just form their OWN show! P.S. Ross did do a GREAT job today, though!!!!!

Sterling, please explain. Sounds interesting - where are you going with that????

Hart- I'm protective of Ross too.

Kevin T- ROFLMAO@you blowing out the template.

In my excitement of Ross
and the great day he deserved to have ,
I posted my feelings to ROSS and other blog buddies
before reading all 300 comments & missed Dr.Dan's first post. So I imagine I having been ticking people off all day for being open about my opinion on what I saw. Sorry once again.
It's pretty clear we ALL care
and we probably all saw the same show he was on. Didn't mean to bring forum or Ross down.

Hi-
Ross, you were so great on The View! You were hysterically funny- I loved the sarong!

There are 635 comments as I post, so if anyone is still out there reading, Hello!!!

First of all, Ross did an excellent job!

He showed class, intelligence and loyalty, both to his Mom and his Blog Buddies!

He presented himself exactly as I/we expected him to.

I say APPLAUSE PLEASE!!!!
And as I sit here with a glass in my hand, I raise it to Ross and Mom for being the gracious, class act they have always been!

Ross will be getting his own show soon, and we will all be able to say "we knew him when"!!!!

Mary, I send my deepest sympathy for the loss of your brother. I, too, have lost so many family members, my heart goes out to you. The fact that you can even post is amazing. XOXOXO

Lynn D- and others, I just called SacBarb and got her voice mail, so I don't know if she made it home yet, or if she is just resting. I hope she will be back posting on the Blog herself REAL SOON!!!

Sending good wishes, good vibes and lots of love to Barb, if she is reading this!!!!

And, so MANY new posters. I am sure many are new because of Ross being on The View today. Welcome!!!! Sorry, but there are like 400+ names I did not recognize, and as sharp as my #2 is, I failed to take notes!!!!!

Nonetheless, you are welcomed here and have a good time posting. We are a friendly (mostly) bunch and are happy you joined in!!!

If anyone is still reading, have a great Tuesday evening, and Peace Out Blog Buddies!
DonnaJean

Ross---You looked so adorable!!
I loved what you were wearing, including your shoes. You did an amazing job. I have to admit, Barbara and Joy were not overly welcoming to you and it really ticked me off.

To me, you are like sunshine in a sometimes very dark world.
Love, love, love you!!!!

Ross! You were so stunning on The View this morn - I waited for weeks to see you! Your clothes were fantastic, so cute! I loved your bright, happy face----I thought the ladies tried to keep the co-host cut out from the convo though.....and they were so boring this morning. Actually, I haven't watched since Rosie left & tuned in to see YOU. Thanks for being on this morn - your "light" made my day! I will see you on The Tonight Show! Love.

Ross...YOU are so much bigger than the View! They are so lucky you agreed to be on it! I know how you feel about getting attacked by pigeon this morning...I too was attacked by a seagull last week! I feel tramatized!I see good things ahead for you. Love ya, Tippi

First time here and I am just amazed by you. You rocked today. Until your blog on the cruise at Rosie's site, I did not realize that you were the same Ross as on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Fantabulious weight loss.

And remember.......people that are afraid of KARMA will never accept the power of it.

PEACE!

Ross

FANTASTIC job!!

Love ya

PS you're mom looked so cute!

"I hope that you are ok and that you are not too hurt or let down by the experience that you were so looking forward to.

canadiangirl - "

Canadiangirl...I feel the same way..I was just going to post about it then I saw your comment.

I do hope Ross is doing ok tonight..I'm concerned as well. And also a tad co-dependant and worry too much.

It's been a wild ride the last few weeks..I wish only the best for Ross.

www.4youmyworld.blogspot.com

Just finished watching the View. You were great but your co-hosts were horrible. Barbara was the worst of them all. She showed no class in her eye rolling. So disappointed in her. They'll see their ratings falling again tomorrow.

Love you Ross
Rooster's Mom

Something needs to be addresssed here. Part of the problem with some of these bloggers is that they want to sugarcoat everything.Mentioning the negative aspects of how the ladies treated Ross is not being mean to Ross or raining on his parade. It is merely pointing out and stating the obvious. Why does everyone try to sweep things under the rug around here and act as if life is perfect?

LaurieG and Janet,

thanks for the rosie update.

i still cant get in!

Great job, Ross. Shame on Barbara for her disrespectful attitude. I hope it doesn't get you down. -Sue

LaurieG and Janet,

thanks for the rosie update.

i still cant get in!

Barbara is Barbara...she treats people that way. If they aren't up to her "status". I 've seen her do it time and time again! Granted...she has definetly made her mark, but my goodness be a human being! It's horrible how she treats some people. Plain old rude!

Dylan,

You're a douche - check your "facts" - stereotypes are not facts.

Why do you bother to come to this site? You can go now, thanks...

hey guys-i fixed the template-Kevin T i hope you don't mind, i just broke down your post without losing the essence of it and your style. :)

and for whomever was saying that the tonight show was shooting a segment there about Ross' visit at the view, that is totally correct. that's why the one day that they were put up in the hotel.

also, just for the person who was saying that Ross should be more "real", i work with him every single day, we share an office, and we talk on the phone about 20 times a day when we're not together, and what you saw on the view today, and what you see on every one of his television and web appearances IS the REAL Ross. he's no different to me on a monday morning when we are catching up on emails and chit chatting about our weekends than he was on the view today. ok, well, maybe he was a bit more excited on the view. lol. but none of it was fake. he doesn't "act" or play a character...that's just ross. love it or leave it.

glad to see all of the support today blog buddies! we certainly are proud of him now, aren't we??

xoxo,
daria

OK ROSS.....WHERE ARE YOU???
PLEASE HURRY AND UPDATE US ON THE REST OF YOUR DAY....AND YOUR VIEW OF YOUR VIEW EXPERIENCE!!!!

We have all spoken ours, but how did YOU feel it went?????

This is driving me crazy!
LOL
We all love ya so much!

Dear Concerned,

With all due respect, people don't sugarcoat, as you put it, when they give zero attention to negative energy.

Ross rocked and therein is the reality of today. Just because nobody else did really does not need to be mentioned in detail.

SO SAD :( had to rush my baby dog to the vet this morning and missed you on the view :( awaiting more talky blogs about it to see how it went.....You are SO COOL! Luv ya lots

"that's just ross. love it or leave it."

And we LOVE it! Daria. :)

So how did it feel to be Rosie on The View for a day? It ain't easy, is it?
I want you to know I think you were terrific.

Concerned,
I dont think anyone is trying to sugar coat anything. Ross had a super exicitng day doing the show, and we just dont want him to come here and jsut read a bunch a negative things about it, especially since im sure he is still flying high about it. I know he will reflect on it, and digest what happened, and things can ALWAYS go better, but it a nutshell Ross was AWESOME, and we are all so proud of him!!
Thats what most of us want him to come away with after reading his blog..its really just a big group (((((((hug))))))) after such a special day!!!

Daria - that was me. Kinda psyched to know somebody actually read my comment a zillion pages down.

So have YOU talked to him yet today? Is he OK? He really was awesome and looked so cute and happy. I hope he didn't let any of the ladies
negativity get him down at all.

XOXO

Daria

:)

Hosts at the view are homophobic and hate blogs and bloggers.

I apologize if my last post caused anyone's computer screen to develop a crack along its right side.

:) It was not on purpose.

See?

I apologized.

Which is much more than I can say about a certain person whose name rhymes with Misrilbith Wrassleneck.

Hello Daria,
When is the tonight show airing the view segment??
And please tell Ross to just give us a little follow up soon.
I can't wait to hear how he is doing!
PS...I agree...Ross is always keeping things real!

oh, and guys, ross' schedule has been crazy lately, as you can imagine...rest assured he hasn't forgotten about his bloggers, but he's got a LOT to catch up on...we've got a lot of TNT stuff going on and a lot of other things in the works, so i'm sure he'll check in soon...just give him some time to decompress and soak it all in! can you imagine...? it must just be surreal today to walk off the set and realize that you just co-hosted the view!!

xoxo,
daria

Clarifying for my above post to Daria - that was me who said the stuff about TTS segment being filmed -- NOT the mean Ross comment.

LEMON DEB - ditto right back atcha. :)

Yes, he's doing great. i'll let him update you guys...you'll just have to be kept in suspense a little while longer!

xoxo,
daria

Hahaha!! I'm watching the View right now!! (I had to tape it because I was at work). Ross, you look Fabulous!!

Jenn

Ross Congratulations!!!
YOU DID IT!!!
WOW you were awesome as always.!!
Daria your a sweetheart!
Love you guys wayyy up here in the North of Canada

Thanks Daria for the update.
I can't wait to see him decompress and let it all out.

Amy, I just knew you would come back and post to clarify which post you did that she acknowledged. :)

Thanks Daria!!

We have to realize too -- he has to fly home to see his Baby Louise too!!!

Triple K -- She is at home, isn't she???

WOW! Look at all of these postings! I thought sumtin was up when I saw how many there were. I didn't get to watch the View. Guess I'm glad I missed it with what everyone is saying about BW! Hope it doesn't bother Ross too much! Sounds like he has a LOT of loyal fans here! That's all he needs to care about! Maybe BW was having a really bad day. LOL! My hubby just said he will go beat up BW for Ross! LOL! I think we could round up some torches and pitch forks too! Really, Ross, don't let any of that stuff bother you! You are SOOOOO much better than them! Hope to see you here again soon!

Not pointing any fingers... just looking at it from another angle. While done with the best intentions, when we write to a television network objecting to the treatment of 'So-and-So' and threaten to never watch again, it is not likely to be viewed as a reflection of their inappropriate behavior, but rather as.. "don't book So-and-So, he's bad for ratings". I think it's important to look at the bigger picture of how our reactions might affect any potential appearances in Ross's future.

Ross is a gentle soul, and it is only natural to want to defend him when he is treated rudely, but remember, Ross made a career out of allowing himself to be ribbed by bigger celebrities. I think he held his own today.

Daria,

Thanks so much for setting a few people straight! You are such a good friend to Ross...and we appreciate all the support you give to this site and to fellow blog buddies. PLEASE let Ross know that his Blog Buddies are CRAZY PROUD of him and we love him!

PS - Welcome to every new blogger! You have stumbled upon someplace very special!

Ross,

You looked flawless this morning. Great job and you did sparkle!

Hi Ross and Blog Buddies,
This is a first for me.....
Only recently started reading blogs, Ross and Rosie.

Anyway........

Ross,
You were fantastic today. Funny, sincere, respectful, well dressed and very handsome indeed. A total class act. You and your Mom should be very proud.

The ladies on the View on the other hand should be ashamed of themselves. I think BW thought she was joking. Unfortunately, she's just not good at it. Joy is so ticked off with the show, she can't think straight. And EH was only pretending to be nice....she knows you're going places and doesn't wan't to burn any bridges.

My suggestion for the View
Hire Ross
Hire Sherri Sheppard
Keep Joy
Keep Barbara, she's not there that often, allowing a co-host/guest to appear to keep it interesting and if BW leaves who will offer up those lame appologies the lawyers have her read.
Fire Elisabeth, she's just ignorant with no redeeming qualities.

Please Ross if EH is still on the View when they offer you a position......RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY FAST, RUN AWAY FAR.

Luv You and Thanks for the numerous hours of entertainment.

Mary- Great NW- My heart truly goes out to you. Know that you have lots of love and support here, and a shoulder (or a dozen) if you ever need it.

And you know what? I bet it'll be on youtube or the fan page or somewhere for you to watch when you're up to it.

MEK- THANK YOU! I would have loved to see the setup.

Lynn D- I was so happy you joined us today. I won't say where, just in case. ;)

You did an awesome job on The View today. I thought it was just me that noticed how rude BW was to you...what was her problem? Keep your chin up...you were refreshing!!!

Daria, my thoughts here! Sorry about the "he should be more real" comment. I should know better because people have said the same of me (too nice - must be fake). Although you wouldn't know it by my commment. Thank you for coming to your friends defense - that says a lot about who he is. Again, my sincere apologies.
Just,
my thoughts

*****About Barbara rolling her eyes*****

I went to abc.com and watch the first part they have on there. And you know what it really looks like. Barbara is not rolling her eyes, it looks like she is looking up at the monitor. I am not sure but that is the way it looked to me. That still does not excuse her when she made the comment in the beginnng about him thinking the Audience was for him or her comment in the end about hushing up and enjoying the View. Just my opinion.

daria..
we certainly ARE proud of him!
he is a wonderfully funny, genuine, nice guy..anyone who says differently is insane.

Daria...

You deserve kutos too!! :)

So glad Ross has a co worker like you!

Ross is on cloud nine...it will be a while before he comes back to cloud 3!

We would all love to be part of Ross' decompression after such a high! Can you do it on a talky blog and forget about the stupid 10 minute rule? I never have any problems downloading and I always feel cheated when he cuts us off when he gets close to the 10 minute mark. Can't the talkies be posted in two or more segments?

Ross, you totally rocked today and last week. We love and miss you and are thankful you have a great friend in Daria.

Daria, thanks for the updates. I'll quit checking in every 2-3 minutes and go get some work done!

Thanks Daria! Sorry for the extra work -I thought it would wrap "naturally".
:)
I get all excited.

(And yes, remaining true to the spirited styling of that post was most vital! lol)

Hi Ross...You were freakin' fantastic! I enjoyed you tremendously as co-host on the View today. When you wore the sarong over your pants I was laughing myself silly. You have the greatest natural sense of humor. You are loved just for being yourself...gracious, funny, and real. I hope your day was one of the best ever. Love to you, your Mom, and Louise.

It's people like Ross that prove to everyone that it takes an individuals uniqueness to get them where they are. How dare the ladies at the view--who claim to be all accepting--knock him down for that. I was so appalled by their behavior today.

But if I know Ross, he's going to brush it off and just be proud that his hard work has gotten him this far. And dang it all, I'm proud of him.

GO ROSS! YOU ROCK!!

Hi Ross...I posted to you earlier but it disappeared?! Anyway, didn't want to miss telling you how absolutely PAWFECT you were on THE VIEW 2day! You were handsome, charming, entertaining, and you had so much CLASS! I am so sorry that the view girls were not more friendly. You are going places, my friend! Can't wait to see you and Rosie together in the perfect forum!
Love you! xoxo

Just curious about the ratings today. Anyone know?

Ross...I was so proud of you and how you carried yourself on The View. They really embarrassed themselves on this one. I think....things backfired today on the View. I agree with ViVan
we shouldn't write into The View. However, that doesn't say their behavior was very good.
They simply "were not nice to you" and it was obvious to anyone who watched. Its my belief that they watched the negative reviews on Rosie's Cruise Show (whom I adore) when she was talking in front of the marked poster of Elizabeth.....and took it out on you (cuz' you are such good friends to Rosie). I am simply NOT going to watch The View EVER again. You were a "victim" of some "witches" today...but you are sooooo better than that. You are above them and SOMEDAY "Karma" will bestow on The View what it deserves. Simply put.."YOU are the BEST Ross" and you are loved dearly....ox

Hi Ross...Im new to your blog...but always enjoy you on Leno. I watched the view today and I will never watch again. I emailed Barbara and Joy with the same comments below. You did not deserve their belittling attitudes:
Heres my email to them:
'I sent this same email to Joy:
I thought you and Joy were extremely rude to Ross. I think you both owe him an apology. Barbara, you especially...you were acting like a snob. He wasnt even as flamboyant as he usually is and you all treated him like he wasnt even there, or like he was getting on your nerves when he did get to say a word or two...and that wasnt much with all of you talking over one another all the time, or cutting him off when he did try to get a word in edgewise. I have only watched this show since I have been home from work recovering from surgery since December....this was the final time I will watch it. You showed this poor man much disrespect that he didnt deserve. True colors came out."

Thank you blog buddies

your a awesome group of caring people ....Ross ...I'm so sorry I missed the view...because I missed you talking over EH....that is priceless....kudo's Ross..and much kudo's to Ross Mom...because she has done an awesome job raising you...

{{{{Hugs}}}}

My thoughts: Your a class act.
Mary:May I add my sincerest condolences to you :+(
Flowers: Take care, good to hear from you.
Daria: You are a good friend to Ross & his blog buddies. I for one truly appreciate you!

I Love Daria!!

Mary from Michigan.
THANK YOU for your GRACIOUS words to me (as I take my foot out of my mouth and wipe the egg off my face) - YOU ROCK! And you made my day.
totally embarrassed,
by, my thoughts

You were fantastic on the View today. You're Mom looked so pretty and very proud in the front row. Congratulations :)

Ross, Sweetie, You were great today, in every way. Damn Right your MAMA is proud of you. Can't wait for your thoughts on how you felt. RFC, Momx5, Yaklots, Mek in AZ, Moweenie, and all the rest of you WONDERFUL people, Bozie Boy is doing very well today, he ate, kept it down,and even jumped on his hind legs to welcome daddy home. Waited by stove as I cooked dinner, so alls back to normal. Go figure. O' HAPPY DAY!!!! Love to you all. Most supportive people in the world. That's why we all flock to this site, because of the wonderful person that invited us in. Could anyone be more supportive than Ross, Sweetie.

Just watched The View again and it was better the second time around!! Ross you are so genuine!

BTW: Its time for BB8! Got to go watch!

Have a great evening blog buddies! It was one GREAT day wasn't it?

OMG Ross you were so terrific on The View. How much fun was it? Elizabeth looked like she was either not going to be your friend or a real bitch. Care to dish?

Mary - so very sorry for your loss. I, too, lost a brother and another regular blogger (I'll let you identify yourself if you want) has also recently had the same loss. Words can't do much for your broken heart, but know there are people who understand and care.

I honestly didn't get the impression that the "ladies" of The View were being mean. Barbara & Joy were attempting to be funny, but it came off as rude. As I said in my earlier post, I was appalled at Joy's "Idaho" comment -- it was inappropriate and tasteless, but I honestly don't think it was meant to be offensive. She was trying to make a joke, but it was just BAD. I'm not making excuses -- she should know better.

Ross, you were a ray of sunshine in that storm. IMHO, you out-shone all 3 ladies with your wit, charm and professionalism.

ok I guess I am ready to be flamed.

I love to play devils advocate so I picture a different scenario:

Ross is so excited when he comes backstage and all is good and well. Then he starts to go over everything. Did I say enough, did they like me? Is this the way they treat all co-hosts.

Given those thoughts also when he reads the posts, he gets a sense of what all people thought after first glance. I found the comments to be opinions and Ross likes to hear those. He can also get a sense of how much we love him and how overprotective we are of him.

So to sum everything up I think that Ross is interested in all of our opinions of how he was treated.

Personally I think he did a great job and I will love him no matter what. My only complaint is the hour went to damn fast.

Ok I might not be around much because I have to go read an acquired copy of a certain book that is coming out soon.

Don't worry I won't give anything away. :-) Besides I don't know how accurate this copy is.

Ross I can hardly wait to see you on the TTS and give louise a big kiss and hug for me.

The View was awesome! I only got to watch the first half... but Ross was adorable! Can't wait to hear his stories from today.

BTW..loved the target PJ's Ross! Keep on bargain shopping.

Welcome to all the newbies. Loving all the post. Mary Great NW I'm so sorry for your loss, prayers are with you. You're in need, we are here. BajaDanny, glad you're home, doing ok!!??? Flowers mommy, glad you're back, u ok too!!??? Yaklots, u had very funny post earlier.

pssst, BIRDEE ...Area 51...u and Bozie Boy had visitors...a close encounter...

arf, Brozie Broy...Arreaa Frify Won...u(oooo) arnd BIRRRDEEE ahud r'isiters...a(whooo) crose r'encounter!

I am fasenated that we ALL watched the same show and there are soooo many different "views" (sorry about that LOL)

Ross must say again I think you are a natural talent that is going places!

Daria: Thank you! You are an asset to NBC and to the Ross Blog!!! A really good friend too. I watched J & R Q & A it was great fun! can't wait for more.

Nesser: LOL

DonnaJean: Than you again for the SC update!
