Wow, that jacket looks a million times better on a person than hanging up in a photo! Good call.
I’m finding this psychologist co-guest a tough read, though. Does he think you’re “just an etiquette columnist,” “just a woman,” or “just a person who’s not me”? Or is he supposed to be an illustration of a difficult person? Whatsername the blonde I kind of expect to be pushy and steamrollerish, but I really hope for this guy’s patients’ sake that he just gets nervous on camera.
The really interesting thing about the man sitting next to you is his body language. He obviously didn’t want anyone else to talk, as he interupted everyone, but when you use your body language to inject your self, by holding out your right hand, he copied this movement and then repeated it several more times.
So glad that I wasn’t the only one who thought he was overly pushy. And you did look fabu in the orange jacket; almost like you thought about dressing appropriately for the weather rather than in summery tennis whites!
That orange jacket really worked, didn’t it? Billy Connolly has this whole routine about a dress shop with a sign on a dress that said “Lovely on.” “Lovely on what? Lovely on fire? Lovely on toast?”
I think this jacket is a definite “lovely on.”
Also, it was 99 cents on eBay. Have I mentioned that?
I just wanted to tell everyone else to shut up so we could hear Robin talk.
Uggg the guy was a pushy and he kept talking over Robin and the hosts. Bleh…..
Robin, you look fabulous – too bad the guy wouldn’t shut up! I love the irony of someone who is obviously a manner-less boor talking about difficult people…
I agree with the previous posts. Robin, you looked great. You also dealt very well with a co-guest who was determined not to let you get a word in edgewise. You gave no indication of whether you were frustrated or not. (Were you?). Great job! Next time, they need to have you on alone, like the first time!
It would have been nice if everyone had shutup and stopped trying to hog the attention. I got very little from this 5 minutes because of everyone talking at once. I really wanted to hear what Robin had to say but it was impossible because of the other three. Robin, you did a good job of keeping your poise and your cool. Better luck next time. Sorry I missed you in KC.
It seemed like at times, all three of them were talking at once! I think you did a nice job in a difficult situation.
I agree with Jen’s comment, “I love the irony of someone who is obviously a manner-less boor talking about difficult people”.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. Good job with not looking flustered.
You were gracious and unflappable. (And you looked great!) I don’t think that those two hosts are up to the task of dealing with two guests at one time. I hope they will invite you back to the earlier part of the show where the people running the interviews are more capable. (Watching this tape makes me realize how good the hosts from the earlier part of the show are at conducting interviews/segments.)
I had to come back and add this….oddly enough after I watched this clip and I went home to watch some E! they were doing one of their “news exploit” thing called “Hot for Student” about teachers that take advantage of their students. That guy was on the show, it was shocking to see him twice in one day when I had never heard of him before. On the E! show he was by himself but he still had the same attitude that he was better than everyone else. So it wasn’t something that was directed at Robin or the other ladies, he is just like that. Again I will say bleh.
Oh, stop it, y’all. The solution was obvious and I missed it. Had I but worn the Golden Rod Rainbow Stripe Shawl Sweater Shrug Cardigan, everyone in the studio would have been stunned into silence and I’d have been able to monologue for the entire segment. But no, I had to go wear something seasonally appropriate. If they invite me back in the fall, though …
Seriously, that guy was impossible. You were the only tolerable (not to mention interesting!) person in that segment. And his suggestion was totally not practical. Call a meeting and ask why the difficult person doesn’t like you? Come on! Your advice was practical and spot on, as usual.
And I thought the outfit was great.
I really liked your comment about how if you can deal with difficult people, you can be truly successful in the workplace.
And not to be gossipy, but did he actually touch you without permission? I know everyone is open and unguarded these days, but it came across as inappropriate. I am insulted on your behalf.
