Rep Power: 10 | She has really been getting the press lately. We might need to give her a forum of her own soon. | |

Rep Power: 10 | See, they are doing what I suspected with promoting Ingrid. It was only a matter of time that a new 'star' would emerge for FN.
I'm not a fan of hers. Reminds me too much of RR only with an accent.

Rep Power: 2 | When she speaks, it sounds as though she's a pre-school teacher talking to tiny, tiny children. Of course, the Rach calls us kids all the time. This should tell us how FN sees its viewers. :eyemouth: | |

Rep Power: 10 | Don't get me started on the 'names' they all use....RR is horrible at calling all of us GUYS....I loathe that slang word and so many just throw it out.
We were at a VERY expensive restaurant the other night. The waiter came to the table and said, "Good evening. How are both of you tonight?" I thought, "Wow, this is very nice." But no sooner did I think that and he said, "Can I get you guys anything to drink?" He must have called us GUYS 20 times throughout the meal. It was me, daughter and husband. Let's see, that's one guy and two ladies. Think I'll write a letter to the owner.

Rep Power: 2 | For some reason around my part of Pennsylvania, waitresses and waiters will address a table as yous. "What can I get yous?" You = singular; yous = plural. I worry about the educational system here.  | |

Rep Power: 10 | What is happening to the proper why of addressing people? We hear it on FN, on newscasts, when we dine out, it's very sad to me. But then, we grew up calling everyone Mr. or Mrs. When was the last time you were addressed like that?
