Clipgasm: Rosie blesses hick couple, upstages Amazing Race - 
by Tabloid Baby
It's the television appearance of the day that's gotten the most talk but fewer views because most of us don't get to watch The View (only because we're at work, right?). So here's a look at the cleaned-up and coiffed Amazing Race losers, Kentucky coalminer Dave Conley and his lovin' wife Mary, as they hit the sympathy jackpot in their second tear-wringing appearance in forty-nine hours. There's a bit of interesting trivia on display that diehards might already know: Dave originally tried out for Survivor and the Race producers had wanted him to team up with a second coalminer (that way the title under their names could read simply "Coalminers"). But what we we find most viewable is the sight of little Lizzie Hasselbeck, dwarfed by her co-host, peeking around the cartoonishly rotund Rosie O'Donnell like Boo Boo with Yogi or Gilligan hiding behind the Skipper.

If only I had a way to make confetti shoot out of my ceiling, my life would be complete.

Mary looked more excited about the confetti than anything else...
I adore Mary and she is quite possibly the most genuinely nice person ever on reality television and I hope to see more people like her on the Amazing Race and other shows. She deserves everything she gets and I totally teared up again since watching the that last show.

Never thought I would almost cry watching a clip from the view. I hate myself-BUT I love Dave and Mary!

That's the American way Steve! If a C student can be President, why can't two hicks from the sticks get free stuff? It's better than being stuck in Iraq- isn't it?

Loved that KFC asked if the Cho Brothers could come with them on the cruise (but not the Mommy Bitches).
So, Rosie...you couldn't have thrown in a set of veneers?

I'm normally not a touchy-feely-cry-at-sappy-commercials-type person, but I love the Amazing Race & I love Dave & Mary. Then I watch this clip & have to fight off the tears cuz I'm at work. And then, I scroll to comments-there's always gotta be one a-hole in the group. Talkin' to you STEVE! One thing I cannot tolerate is condescending a-holes who believe that people like Dave & Mary are stupid yokels who fell into a pot of gold. Not all education comes from college, dickweed-and I am someone who has a Bachelor's degree plus post-graduate studies. So let's see here, because of the following you had to be a douchebag:
Dave & Mary
1.) Made an honest living at McDonald's-too bad they weren't smart & went where the real money is-meth production!
2.) Applied for a reality tv show in the hopes to have the means to provide a better future for their children and to gain some life experience-gee, why not go to the casino & gamble away your life savings instead? Steve would probably respect you more!
3.) They were arguably the least experienced in travel and the world in general of all teams in the race, yet they came in 6th. Yeah, losers! (sarcasm there)
4.) Are given items that many of us already have and take for granted and this will give them perhaps a somewhat middle-class existence. Not only that but when offered a cruise immediately react by asking if they can share it with the Cho brothers, their competition. What jerks!
Sorry for the rant, but when I'm pissed, what can I say. Go KFC!!

This is what happens on daytime chat shows, confetti, hillbillies and free stuff?
