But, the show that ITV ripped this idea off - ABC's The View - don't they have a regular small panel of regulars? So, why the need for Loose Women to have 20 panellists?
The whole idea of the show is for the viewers to get to know which panellists have which sort of opinion. Getting to know 20 of them, each appearing sporadically, defeats the object of having a contrasting and opinionated presenting team.
Yeah it's a bit daft, Sherrie Hewson and Gloria Hunniford have both not appeared for 3 weeks each, Jamelia is appearing less and less which is quite good,
In my opinion it should be like this
