They won't let us put 'Game of Games' ratings up, so I'm making a general rating for both: Ellen show is AWFUL. I HATE watching her shows, bc she clearly enjoys making ppl suffer. She delights in scaring ppl, or knocking them over w/ the push of a button😒 what a awful dried-up has been.

Always puts a smile on your face no matter how bad your mood is. She is so generous and has such a big heart that my feelings for her and her show go beyond words. She is the highlight of my frantic days,I love her and her show and it is on the only thing on my bucket list is to go to one of her shows but I don't see it happening unless one of boys get a good career and can afford to send me there one day and they know how much I love ur show.
