So, savannah?

[bunch]

I think she's rocking it. She's very bubbly. Whew!

[Deleted]

I only turned it on for a minute this morning. I saw the bloopers where people kept calling her Samantha and was very confused. But she looked like she was doing well as an anchor.

[panicked]

She and Matt have much better chemistry than he and Ann did. I will equate Savannah to Katie Couric; very bubbly, always smiling, light sense of humor. I think she'll do well, although I don't think she'll challenge Matt and keep him in his place like Meredith did.

[slug*bug]

I just saw her get ambushed w/Shawn Colvin: !

She did really well for having someone throw a guitar in her hands and ask her to play a song with her idol on a whim! That's quite a first day in her new role, lol!

I wish I'd seen the bloopers...

I like her a lot. She's bubbly, but she's also very educated and has a bit of a different attitude when she's talking law or other news points. I also like she can poke a little fun at herself with the cooking segments.

[ejpint]

We couldn't watch much of it. I don't know why, but my dog hates her. He barks and growls when she's on screen.

I like her. I prefer Natalie. But that ship sailed.
I also noticed in her flashbacks that she looks better with darker hair, IMO.

So why didn't Natalie get the anchor position after all? Her supposed affair with Matt? Is she still on the show? (I don't watch it, but I like to hear the gossip )

I really only watch the Today show during the summer. I do like Anne Curry, did not like Meredith. After watchig this morning I really like Savannah!

I mean, she went to Georgetown for law school, got the highest score on the AZ bar exam, and worked at a pretty good biglaw firm for a few years before getting into journalism again. I think she's plenty smart.

I know that MM smart judgment system is basically all about education and if you are a lawyer you get a few extra points also... but my system is different. I don't care too much about education... I mean, she got her undergrad at U of Az. If you were breathing, you got in.

Well, a U of A grad was good enough for Georgetown Law (apparently) but she doesn't make the grade for you b/c of her undergrad pedigree? Lol. Okay.

I think you need a little smart girl, a little friendly girl
I dont want the big bang theory guys in my morning show

(And also, Ann Curry's University of Oregon pedigree *is* enough for her)

Again, I do not care about education. It's meaningless to me.

What makes someone smart enough to you to anchor a morning show?

[blondemoment123]

I'm still sad about Ann, but I like Savannah so far.

[otowngirl]

I got rejected by GULC. Therefore, Savannah must be SUPER smart.

Lolz.

[chicken]

So, she's Elle Woods. Ditzy, undergrad sorority girl gets into top law school and goes on to have a successful career, all while still being somewhat ditzy?

Probably because she looks like a chipmunk.

At least she is much better to look at than Meredith. I was happy to see her go (I don't get the Meredith love), sad that it didn't work out for Ann, and curious to see how Savannah does.

I wasn't a fan, I switched to GMA after about 15 minutes. I figure I'll try it again in a week or so.
