I have to apologize for the delayed postings on the Monday show- I have been sick as a dog and then one of my kids ended up in the ER.
I would have skipped it but the show was too good to pass up.
First, there was a love fest between Rosie and Barbara that threatened to push Joy over the edge. There have been several shows since the Rosie leaving announcement that Joy has shown her frustration with the Rosie fervor.
I am pretty sure Joy will be pretty happy to see the media hog leave.
I would also like to have Bill O'Reilly's body language expert evaluate BW's body language while she made the comments detailed below.
She doesn't look up at the camera throughout much of her statement. Her mannerisms don't indicate she actually believes what she is saying. It is though BW is making the statement against her will. If she actually believed what she was saying, she might look up at the audience, at the camera or even at O'Donnell.
Rosie is better at giving kudos to Walters. Maybe she is a better actress because I find it hard to believe that she would actually give credit to anyone else for her "success" if they do win an Emmy.

BW: We have won an Emmy for best show. We have never won an Emmy for best cast and if we win this year, I mean I think we are all wonderful but this was your year with us and that makes me very sad that you’re not going to be there- so now are going to start to read “she deliberately isn’t coming
Rosie: No- you’re the mother of four you know. But listen- if you do win- listen if we do win best host- Let me tell you something
BW: but you’re not going to be at- I am gonna have a big- you know these things where you get
Rosie: cardboard- you can get a look-alike. There was a lot of look-alikes
BW: I’m gonna walk up with the cardboard. Listen- I could bring your mother-in-law
Rosie: Oh please, no gosh. But the thing is Barbara if this show does win best host, all the credit goes to you for hiring me. So there you go Barbara Walters
BW: We’ll share
Rosie: But either way I’m going to be rooting you on and watching you. So know that. I’m going to miss it and you know that’s kind of
Joy: So what are you saying- we couldn’t have won before you came?
Rosie: Why do you have to turn it into a negative? Joy- What do you want me to say? It was the same exact show it was for 9 years. It used to get just as much attention
Joy: No- but we’re the same people- we are
Rosie: If you win best host, if we win best host it’s to her for hiring me
BW: Look guys- our first big fight- look, we have not won before and I don’t think we are going to because as you say- you’re favorite quote
Joy: There is always one of us to hate
Rosie: Right
BW: But if we do it was a different show this year. Rosie was on with us
Joy: I know
BW: If we win it’s because of all of us
Rosie: Correct
BW: but it was a different year
Joy: But maybe they just hated somebody previous to us
Rosie: Well who knows what it was
Elisabeth: But you know I think
BW: But 9 years with wonderful shows- we’re going to be on until I no longer even know what I am talking about- but this was an interesting- this was an interesting year. Can we agree with that?
Rosie: Yeah- we can agree on that
Joy: Yeah
Elisabeth: Oh yeah
BW: I want to get back to something that- what’s your name? Joy- was saying.
Joy: Maybe it’ll be before 20 years Barbara
