I think we've all had work experiences that suddenly turned disastrous.

You're working away, enjoying your life and feeling as if you've hit your groove. Then suddenly, you get a new co-worker and it all turns into a relentlessly painful horror.

You don't get along with the new person, which is a bad thing when they're above you in the food chain. You don't share the same values, you don't share the same politics and after a while, it's as if every single word out of their mouth is so annoying you just want to scream.

I have a lot of sympathy for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who finds herself with a new, apparently annoying co-worker on "The View." While Rosie O'Donnell might be doing wonders for the ratings, she's not doing much for young Hasselbeck's blood pressure.

Longtime viewers of the show continue to be fascinated with the level of tension between O'Donnell and Hasselbeck, and rumors have begun circulating that Hasselbeck may indeed leave the show.

So in the interest of having a bit of fun at someone else's expense, we're launching a contest to guess the date that Elisabeth Hasselbeck will leave her fulltime role on "The View."

The rules are simple:

1) Send your guess in an email to goodbyeguess@allyourtv.com.

2) All the entries which correctly pick the official date of her exit will be entered into the giveway, with the winners being picked randomly.

3) The contest is limited to residents of the U.S. and Canada. Staff members of "The View," as well as immediate members of the Hasselbeck Family are ineligible.

4) The contest begins on Sunday, October 15th, 2006 and will run until Elisabeth Hasselbeck leaves "The View" or until 11:59 pm ET May 28th, 2007 (which is Elisabeth's 30th birthday).

5) The contest is limited to one guess per email address during the length of the contest.

6) No purchase is necessary to enter or win.

One Grand Prize winner will be chosen, and that lucky person will receive a special "The View" gift pack.

The gift pack includes:

	A copy of the 2001 DVD: "Survivor The Australian Outback - The Complete Season"
	A 2006 Topps Chrome Matt Hasselbeck Seattle Seahawks Football Card #113 - Mint Condition - Shipped In Protective ScrewDown Case ! (Yes, we realize that her husband is not Matt Hasselbeck, but Tim Hasselbeck of the New York Giants. It's a joke).
	A copy of the book "Toxic Coworkers: How to Deal with Dysfunctional People on the Job"
	A DVD copy of the feature film "The Flintstones," starring Rosie O'Donnell

Ten second place winners will each win a copy of the DVD:

"Survivor - Season Two, The Australian Outback - The Greatest & Most Outrageous Moments"
