Abby Huntsman

Abby Huntsman has been slow out of the gate on The Cycle. This post is not meant as shallow criticism. She needs a new stylist. If she wants to be taken seriously she has to stop showing up looking like a hostess at a casino in Vegas.

I rather like her style, but maybe I'm a hooker or something.

( oops, I took another look, you are right)

5. She's very pretty, which is a plus on tv. I think they are giving her more air time now.

For a long time she kind of just sat there and the other woman dominated the scene. I think it remains to be scene if Abby's television career will go anywhere.

7. But it seems like all the young hosts have that kind of make-up.

Her co-host Crystal Ball is an exception, although she still wears a lot of it. Abby probably would be taken more seriously if her make-up were toned down a little.

16. She doesn't say much. A lot of it is silly, but I'm not a big fan of the show she's on

12. I saw an episode of The Cycle last week and I was shocked to find that there really is a person

named Crystal Ball on the program, very Paddy Chayefsky, as well as an 'one name like Elivs' guy. That's entertainment. I did not make note of Abby Huntsman, her name far too common to draw attention on that show. And next, Sybil the Soothsayer with tomorrow's headlines!

15. Krystal Ball is on Lawrence odonnelll a lot, she is very good with political analysis

she got her name through her dad who is some scientist and was working on crystals.

i don't watch the cycle and the few minutes i once caught was a turn off . i don't really care about these shows that try to appeal to a certain younger audience .

17. I tried watching "The Cycle" once... lasted about 5 minutes.

Krystal Ball's voice is grating, Abby giggled and made snoring sounds when Ari was speaking, and Toure (?) was hyper and rather obnoxious. It was complete fluff.

Just give me Walter Cronkite behind a damn desk.

But I was wrong. She need a new stylist. I dressed like that and had the same hairstyle back in 1999.
