"The news of Elisabeth&amp;#x27;s Hasselbeck departure from The View broke late last night; today was her final day on the show. Here&amp;#x27;s how the spitfire blond&amp;amp;#8212;who&amp;#x27;s been sitting next to Barbara Walters at the table for 10 years now&amp;amp;#8212;wrapped up her long, memorable run. First off: Let&amp;#x27;s not overlook the last-day outfit. It&amp;#x27;s important. And I like it. Lavender + red + blinding statement necklace = pretty power. The crowd gave EH a long standing-O. The tears began around three seconds in: &amp;quot;For a decade I have been able to work efficiently at this table because&amp;amp;#8212;and I mean this for my whole heart&amp;amp;#8212;the people behind the scenes have worked more efficiently,&amp;quot; Elisabeth said. Babs held court, reminiscing on the fact that Elisabeth was &amp;quot;you were still a newlywed when you joined us at the table 10 years ago...three of your children were born while you were here.&amp;quot; Joy brought up the fact that Behar v. Hasselbeck was a common dynamic during political hot topics, but the vitriol never followed them backstage. Joy said of their sparring: &amp;quot;It was exciting for the show.&amp;quot; Whoopi said that she thinks Elisabeth is &amp;quot;the cat&amp;#x27;s meow,&amp;quot; and Elisabeth nodded really thoughtfully, because that&amp;#x27;s what you do when Whoopi pays you a vintage compliment. Elisabeth mentioned at the top of the show that she&amp;#x27;s excited for whoever gets fills her chair, and I think that was a nice thing to include. Sherri wasn&amp;#x27;t there. OMG, I&amp;#x27;m devastated by this for some reason. At least she tweeted support: &amp;amp;quot;I am praying that God send you a man who loves you and loves my Jeffrey&amp;amp;quot; @ehasselbeck&amp;amp;#39;s texts to me while jogging in the park #friend&amp;amp;mdash; Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) July 10, 2013 I&amp;#x27;m thinking that&amp;#x27;s a throwback, and not like something that happened today. Otherwise the tag would be more like #frenemies, &amp;#x27;cuz Sherri is now married to Sal. You know who was there? Justin Bieber&amp;#x27;s mom. Talking about how she&amp;#x27;s not having sex again until she gets married. God, not now, Justin Bieber&amp;#x27;s mom. Barbara closed out the show by saying &amp;quot;Remember, when you&amp;#x27;re at Fox, take a little time to enjoy the view.&amp;quot; Where do you think The View goes from here? Babs was clear that a replacement won&amp;#x27;t be named immediately. But plenty of women have been gunning for that chair. Photo: ABC"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
