Just watched the five today with Harold Ford. Loved it. When Jessica is on I wonder why I’m watching.
I agree Jessica needs to Go
I wish Jessica was gone forever. This is the dumbest person since Juan Williams. Whenever it makes its mouth noises I just mute the TV because there's no reason to hear that squawking noise. Harold is great. I can disagree with some of his views, but at least I still respect him as a human being. I can not like what he thinks but I know he's at least being rational and intellectually honest. Whenever Tarlov the charlatan makes its mouth noises it's like getting stabbed in the ears and the brain by a red hot mangled fork. Scraping a fork across a chalkboard would be preferable to Jessica's mouth noises.
Jessica is amazing. Would you rather have some token liberal, like the conservatives on MSNOW? She's articulate and has coherent thoughts, I dont' agree with her many times, but if you want to understand the left, listen to her carefully.
Totally agree. I turn the channel when I see her
I HAVE WATCHED THIS SHOW SINCE THE BEGINNING. The last few months have been disappointing, too many fill in hosts. When the Judge left the show and Dana off more than on, the original foundation is no longer enjoyable to watch.
Why do we have to put up with Squeaky Jessica.When my wife and I see that she is on we change the channel.If we want to hear Trump hate speech(which we don't) we can always tune in to CNN or MSNBC(which we don't).I cannot imagine any person watching "The Five" because of her.
I turn off The Five when Jessica T is on the show.
Can’t stand her screeching!
Update:
The title of this show should be changed to "THE FOUR" --- consisting only of Gutfeld, Watters, Pirro and Kennedy.
Dana Perino and Harold Ford can be eliminated for being much too banal, humorless and boring for this type of show.
Jessica should also be eliminated for being extremely "irritating", according to many commenters (below).
Replace Gutfield on the FIVE,
We need someone who is interesting.
He has his own show. Why does he need to be on the FIVE???
I won’t watch The Five when Jessica is on! Please take her off!
Unbeliveable dumbed down garbage!!!!!!!
