Wide World of Women

For the second weekend they were glued to the new desk
Starting Sept 3 Sara Haines will probably be at the desk for a minute

Totally agree, Cobra, what's up with that?? No legs=no watching as far as I'm concerned. I hope this is merely a temporary move by the show, though I can hardly see why they've gone to it. Is there some kind of worker's strike in NYC I haven't heard about?

I saw that new girl Sara Haines on GMA yesterday. Didn't even hear her speak with the other cast of characters around. With Amy, Josh, Sam and Bianna hogging all the mic time, she basically just stood there.

Yes Sara is now a regular on GMA Weekend doing the Pop News segment and the show was all desk.

3rd weekend glued to that desk
the old desk showed legs of Ginger and Guests

Let's have some congressional hearings on this scandal!

Maybe they're shopping for a new couch?

i'm saving hard drive space

So...she's basically the 3rd string 'Pop News' girl, behind Lara Spencer and Rachel Smith. Kinda depressing.

I see they got a piano. The women could take turns lying on it like Michelle Pfeiffer in the Baker Boys movie.

4th Weekend el show de Crap

lolz!

But you're right, it is crap.

The only good thing about that desk is that whenever they want to go to the weatherperson they usually do a shot where they show all four people at the desk, but the camera is shooting from whoever is seated to the far right, which is just a cheap excuse to show Lara Spencer's (or Sara Haines) profile, and focused on the weather board to the far left. That way you're not having to focus on that ginormous GOOD MORNING AMERICA logo with those neon bars on the front of the desk. If they would just go to a desk without that enormous logo it would make the visual experience better to take for everybody.

They have added plywood to desk to block Sara's side View

wtf! well at least Ginger Zee is normally on the show...

to me, the show lost major points in the hot category with the absence of Rachel Smith

Seriously? next she'll be behind a curtain with a disguised voice like a whistleblower.

Hmm ... It looks as if it's some kind of insert that the desk was designed to accept all along.
See the blue channel that it's attached to? That's always there.
Probably made of the same plexiglass or whatever the desk is made of.

Which would mean it's purpose is to come and go at the producer's discretion -- say if a skirt is
too short, or maybe even put there if one of the ladies themselves requests it.
"Bad leg or bad shoe day"???
"wearing a bandage or a cast" ??
So they say -- okay, let's put the wing on for today.

Just guessing.

Get Sara a cash register

Sounds reasonable, but then Erica Hill and Dylan Dreyer both had visible wounds over the summer and no boards were set up for them to hide behind. I don't remember ever seeing pieces added to desks or tables seemingly just to block the view.
