  1. Although I watch the show every morning, I get infuriated when the three ladies and sometimes the guys talk over each other you can’t understand a word they’re saying it’s very very annoying that they do that so much every day savanna is the worst but the others are just almost as bad please take control of the show, and let’s just one person talk at the time it would make much more sense to the rest of us
