I thought Dr. Phil has had a few good episodes lately. The vaping one was really interesting! I had no idea what a problem this was among kids. That mom was a mess, though. The DNA secrets one was interesting as well. Both mere more old-school Dr. Phil type episodes!

Well said. Not really interested in this current plotline at all.

It ultimately didn't do any good, did it? (Digging up the case.) No justice was found, thanks to the way Erin handled it.

Is it just me or was Erin completely insufferable? The whole digging up her boss' case was ridiculous. What was she trying to prove?

So much for the stereotype of gay men having fabulous taste. That place was so tacky! Also, fun fact: I looked up Skip on Google, and he was well-known for beautifying his community. His motto was "Nice people don't litter." A tribute to him said that "Scenic beauty was his delight, for his home, this park and the Boulevard trees." Heh.

Reminds me of the shows about weight loss surgery. They rarely have people who are like, 250-300 pounds -- fat but not immobile. Because it's not as dramatic. But even Hoarders used to have Level 1, 2, etc. hoarders initially. Like the Pumpkin Lady. She was a mess but was redeemable.

It is true! I have a Peloton, and I'm watching this season because of Cody. He has literally hundreds of thousands of fans who take his rides; he is very popular in the Peloton world!

I am a runner who has done many races and training sessions in Central Park. So I was excited that there was going to be a crime involving tracking where a runner was. But the show blew it. First of all, two hours for a marathon training run is a perfectly normal time, contrary to Baez's discount. Second, they might have been able to look up the runner in Strava or Garmin without having to get his phone, and see his runs right there. Third, 11 miles in two and a half hours for a fit middle-aged guy is pretty slow. That's about my speed, and I'm a slow runner! Anyhow, there are millions of people out there who are runners, so these apps aren't obscure things.

Yes, his actions didn't set right with me. Why no loyalty to your fellow officer? And I imagine other officers in the precinct wouldn't trust Jamie after this as well.

Exactly! I didn't feel sick to my stomach when watching. He wasn't as funny as he thought he was, though.

I thought it was bizarre that the podcast chick would be so disappointed over not getting to interview the bad guy, and that she totally missed the forest from the proverbial trees. You mean to tell me she helped solve crimes where there were six victims, and she wouldn't want to talk on her podcast about how she solved this? That doesn't even make any sense!

I wouldn't read anything into that. I've been in the studio audience for The View (they used to give out really great swag -- now not so much!) and the audience does what they are directed to do by someone near the stage. Before the show starts, they even have you practice laughing, clapping, standing up, etc.. His standing O was directed by the show staff.

Yeah, that kid will be on My 600 Lb Life within a decade if nothing changes.

That's a really good point. The addictive behavior wasn't finishing the race. It was her being unable to control her weight or stick to an exercise plan.

Sara, the best friend featured on the show, has posted on the Intervention Facebook page. Apparently Katherine C. got arrested for heroin possession and tried to claim she was Sara! "She is exactly where she was before the intervention and nothing has changed. She was just arrest at the beginning of June for possession and impersonation of me. She drove home drunk and high two days ago. It's really sad. She blew a great opportunity and now she's left with insurance that will only cover two weeks somewhere." She also responded to commenters in the thread: "it's so sad and so bad though. Her mom is super codependent on her. Almost like she likes taking care of her like a child. And she excuses all her behavior and blames everyone else. She was never held accountable for anything." "Really I feel like I don't even know her anymore. And we were best friends/sisters since very early childhood. But now even though she is still living it's like the ny best friend I knew is dead. She's not the same person, and it's so hard because I wish she would come back to us. When she's not on drugs she's a very sweet and funny and caring person!" "oh I know.. I actually was still talking to her after she left rehab when she would call- mainly just to see how she was doing but after she got arrested trying to impersonate me to pin a heroin possession charge on me I will not talk to her. I know it's the drugs but that made me feel like she does not see me as a friend or care about me. I will not talk to her again until she gets herself help. I will always care about her but she needs to start caring about herself and others." https://www.facebook.com/Intervention-8770211279/ Mods: I assume this is okay since this is from a publicly available page. Please let me know if it's not. Thanks!

The creepiest thing to me on this episode (which is saying something, given her doing crack in front of her parents!) was when she was talking on the phone to one of her johns in her parents' house. She was calling him "Daddy" in a little-girl voice and talking about what she was going to wear. And you could see her mother overhearing her conversation. Yikes!

I don't know what to make of this episode, particularly the creepy relationship between Joe and Jessica. For one thing, the New York Post reports that they have a 3 1/2 year old daughter together! Oh, and he hooked up with Wife No. 2 when she was 18 years old as well, the way he did with Jessica (Wife. No. 2 was the babysitter for him and Wife No. 2) Joe is 63, BTW, and Jessica is 26 now. And I am going to defend Barry Williams' "all about me" behavior a little. Maybe Jessica doesn't know what an assistant actually does, but it was not unreasonable to expect somebody who is replacing an assistant to actually do assisting-type work. I didn't think it was out of line for somebody who was supposed to help him with the show to 1) show up on time, 2) give him the correct equipment, 3) not have a diva act of her own. But at least Barry, while certainly not perfect, seems like a good father and an okay human being. Piscopo came off as a total creep and a weird father (is it really too much to actually have a meal in the same room as your children?)
