"The people have spoken. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, one of the five cohorts of ABC&amp;apos;s daytime talk show The View, will not be returning to the couch next season, following hot on the footsteps of fellow cohost Joy Behar, a source tells Us Weekly.\r\nAccording to the source, the show&amp;apos;s resident conservative voice is being ousted after market research revealed that she isn&amp;apos;t popular with TV audiences.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing,&amp;quot; the insider tells Us. &amp;quot;People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.&amp;quot;\r\nWhen reached for comment, a rep for the show told Us in a statement: &amp;quot;Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a valued member of The View and has a long term contract.&amp;quot;\r\nHasselbeck, 35, joined the cast of the daytime talk show in November 2003 after guest-hosting the show following Lisa Ling&amp;apos;s departure in 2002.\r\n\r\nThroughout the course of her time on The View, she has gotten into numerous arguments with her cohosts, including a heated argument with Rosie O&amp;apos;Donnell in 2007 over the War in Afghanistan and with Barbara Walters over Mitt Romney in 2012.\r\nEarlier this week, Behar, 70, announced her own departure from the show after 16 1/2 years.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;You can&amp;apos;t stay forever on a show,&amp;quot; she told Good Morning America. &amp;quot;I am graciously exiting stage left. I&amp;apos;ve put in 16 1/2 years and felt the time was right. I want to explore other opportunities.&amp;quot;\r\nAdds the source to Us: &amp;quot;Joy says it just felt ... tired and like work. She was over it.&amp;quot;\r\nBehar has been with the talk show since its inception in 1997, and currently hosts Joy Behar: Say Anything! on Current TV."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
