    The Tyra show
    How can Tyra Banks be a good talk show host, when she is one of the most judgemental women on TV? Why does she feel the need to attack her guest, just because they are her opposite?

    Conflict is what gives ratings... Look at any "reality" TV show.

    Agrees - conflict creates drama and Tyra loves drama. Ratings love drama. Attacking the guest is not something new - look at the talk shows that have made millions of dollars and millions of dedicated viewers. People like to see confrontation. A host who soft soaps the guests, consoles them, sympathizes with them, lulls the viewer to sleep.

    Tyra is sharp and knows what to do to achieve her goals. Not that I agree with her tactics but I have to hand it to her for making a continued success of herself.

    Personally, I think she's great! Yeah she can be a little confrontational but that's what makes he who she is... BOLD. That's what a talk show is all about... talking... whether people agree with what you have to say or not. :)

    The one of the most judgemental? Apparently you haven't see The View.

    But would you be asking the same question of it were a man?

    Good lord... if Jerry Springer can stay on the air all these years... Tyra can too. You ever seen Judge Judy attack people... makes Tyra look like an angel!
