Let's see what Babs and them do now. I guess they will wait for captain save a show Rosie....yeah right!

It was about more than the weight and the wedding. You know they are very intimidated by an intelligent, EDUCATED, opinionated sista! I'm sure some of you have seen it on your jobs. (How dare she have such an elaborate wedding? how dare she voice her political ideology? How dare SHE?)

Oprah is on another planet, but they tried to get her with the beef scandal a few years ago. It is what it is...it's AMERIKKA (shout out to Soror AKA_Monet)!

I totally agree that the other ladies on the view were intimidated by Star's persona. She has a strong personality and she had it before she started to lose weight. However, I think that her confidence is more evident now and they are blaming it on the weight loss. She looks better than she did when she first started and they know that she is outshining all of them. She is the only one of the show, besides Barbara, who is really a star outside of the show. They have every reason to be intimidated. I can't wait to see what she does next.

you know when she got married and lost the weight, she changed the dynamic on the show.
- you had the "i'm just like you soccer mom" meridith
- the "divorce' with the sharp tongue" joi
- the young one (we're on what? young host #3? ditzy @zz elizabeth)
- and the "SINGLE + HEAVY sassy sista"

i don't like how she was done, but honestly she wasn't fitting in with the other hosts and ALL of their chemistry was off. For a while I DVR'd this show every day, but since the wedding I haven't been able to watch an entire show.

i don't like how she was treated but i'm glad she has this opportunity to move on and move UP.

Middle American housewives--who are, at least before the advent of TiVo, are the target audience of The View, and daytime television as a whole, really. Star's wedding and mysterious weight loss alienated that target audience. For the most part, it's hard to survive on daytime TV if you're a diva. Star's too much of a star for daytime TV. Regardless of my views on her, I think she'll do fine.

Oprah's not a diva--we've seen her at her highs and lows, and she's more than willing to admit that she's not perfect. That's why Middle America loves her.
