Is there a thing about stuff that happens in the Bahamas staying in the Bahamas? No? Well, that's good news, if you're enjoying the vacation hijinks of Hoda and Kathie Lee. On their very first day on Paradise Island, things got very spring break-y.
"We kissed a girl and we liked it," they sang. UH OH!
Okay, they were talking about a dolphin, but dolphins are almost as smart as people, so it counts. The ladies spent yesterday booze-cruising and wakeboarding at Atlantis's Dolphin Cay, where both of them took the opportunity to plant one on Sasha, a lady dolphin. Judging from the footage, Kathie Lee may have gotten to second base.

Then there was a waterslide race – Hoda intimidated with trash talk, and Kathie Lee pulled out her ace in the hole, the nostril trick. Hoda, we love you, but you got smoked.
And yes, of course, there are photos.

After, the ladies the chatted about the the makeout sesh.
"We've kissed a lot of people," began Hoda. "Well, you have," ribbed Kathie Lee.
Then KLG called out a heckler, Hoda dropped her note cards, everybody did a singalong to "Margaritaville," and the girls fed each other raw conch shots (for their aphrodisiacal powers, naturally). It's almost as good as actually being there, with less chance of getting your T-shirt wet.

I am loving the show. However I am distracted by the hot weather environment and the cold weather accessory on Hoda's neck. A necklace would have been much better, or tie it around her waist for a belt! I hate scarfs worn in warm climates.
Hi Kathie Lee and Hoda!
Love the show from the Bahamas. Just saw you beautiful girls with your new RED Today show wraps. They are beautiful as well, just make sure you don't get them wet or your dresses will be pink :( Just thought you should know :)

Love Abaco!! The show is so much fun!
Thanks for all the great comments! Keep them coming. So glad you liked the show! -Danielle, KLGH producer
I'm surprised.. oh wait maybe NOT surprised that you refused to post MY comment regarding the captivity of dolphins and the price they pay. Care to rethink this at all? We can do this privately as you have my email ...
I regularly watch the Today Show including Kathie Lee and Hoda's hour. I was very disappointed today, however, to see highlights of the the two of them swimming with captive dolphins. On the surface, swimming with captive dolphins looks like an amazing way to interact with such a beautiful, gentle, intelligent creature. But dolphins have to endure horrible cruelty in order for a few dolphins to end up at facilities like the one Kathie Lee and Hoda visited . Please educate yourself before you make the decision to swim with them.
Kathie Lee and Hoda, while you're in Abaco, stop by Guana Cay, Abaco, Bahamas and visit Baker's Bay's Club to see their brand new golf course. Be sure to get a good look at holes 8 and 9 with the beautiful views of the Sea of Abaco and the Guana Cay Reef. A scientific report issued in January, 2012, prepared by Dr. Thomas J. Goreau (a much respected reef scientist and algae specialist) etc. states (with positivity) that the golf course runoff is polluting the waters, causing sewage type algae to develp on the beach and reef.
Dear Kathie Lee, Hoha Koth and Sara Haines:
I am hoping you can provide help for my loving partner, Christopher (Mr. Cee), who is a gentleman in his early forties. He calls himself an average person, but I think he is an exceptional human being. He is very insightful, compassionate and intelligent. I am a very fortunate woman who is well-loved. Unfortunately, dyslexia has created many obstacles in his life, especially with reading and writing. Due to the economy, he lost his full-time job in 2008 when he was laid off from a computer technician position of 13 years. He has maxed out his unemployment benefits while trying to find a full-time job. It is very difficult to get a computer industry job without a college degree these days. He currently has a 20-hour week custodian position. He is grateful to have a job, but it is not what he had achieved. He would love to pursue a better life and improve his skill set, but he feels ill-equipped to obtain additional education to choose a different career. His biggest obstacles to attending vocational/trade schools are reading the textbooks and taking written tests. He is so gifted, he is skilled in working with computers, carpentry, vehicles, appliances, plumbing and electrical issues. He has always used his skills to do different hands-on jobs to help others. I have seen him figure out problems that even certified professionals could not solve. His family, friends, and co-workers have requested his help countless times. He is more than capable to perform a trade job and have his own business. He has always dreamed about having his own business and creating his own destiny. But he has needed to live off of his savings that he had put aside to start a business. He also has a vivid mind to invent and re-design products, but has such difficulties in trying to follow through with written ideas. He started working at the age of 14 and feels he has nothing to show for it. At this point, his level of frustration is high and understandable. Can you facilitate my quest to find assistance for adults battling dyslexia? He has taken tests and obtained paperwork regarding his disability. However, this only confirmed what we already knew; he is dyslexic. I have not found assistance regarding adult dyslexia in Richmond, Virginia. We have called special schools that teach children with learning disabilities and universities for help. Neither could provide assistance for adults. Dyslexia has not stopped him from living and pursuing a well-balanced life from day to day. He is an admirable man. He really wants to be able to read on a higher level to improve on his skills in life and become more dependent. Instead of battling dyslexia, he desires to overcome it. I hope you are able to find some time to help us so he may fulfill a dream to better help himself.
Sincerely,
Andrea from Virginia
Send KLG and Hoda to see how those dolphins were capture in places like Tajii Japan. They may change their song when the see how many dolphins die so they can 'swim' in captivity with people in the Bahamas. .
Wow Ladies, looks like you had fun swimming with captive dolphins, nice of you to promote captivity..last I knew Dolphins belonged in the OCEAN with their pods, do you know where these dolphins come from? look up Taiji Japan, I mean REALLY look and watch what these animals have to go through,maybe you'll feel differently but you have to have a conscience for that.
