[All Episodes Talk: Let’s Talk About Dr Phil the Show]

https://www.foxnews.com/us/reesa-trexler-dna-clears-sister-jodie-laird-dr-phil

I'm watching the OWN rerun of the Reesa Trexler murder, which happened in 1984, where there is another woman who has harassed, and posted hideous accustations about the woman's sister being the murderer.  The article above is one of many that tell the truth, someone else did the murder, and the sister is innocent.    

At the end of the episode when the polygraph, and other evidence exonerates Jodi, the accuser apologizes.  That doesn't make up for all of these years of accusations against Jodi, and the harassment this woman led.  The woman's apology didn't sound genuine either. 

So, a 2017 rerun on OWN ""My Wife of 18 Years and Mother of Our Four Children" wants to dump husband and 4 kids, move to her love muffin in Kenya, who is 26 to her 45 or so, marry him.   Then bring him to the U.S., get dual citizenship, live part of the year in Kenya and part in the U.S.     At least the investigator actually finds the man, so a catfish that exists.   

The wife's back up plan is to have 50/50 custody of her children with the husband.   Husband's deluded if he thinks he's going to stop a divorce, or go to Kenya and break them up without ending up in jail in Kenya.    However, the wife, fiance, whatever is deluded if she thinks she can get 50/50 custody, and still have money to support her boyfriend in Kenya, or import this guy.  

Current husband is wrong, no way this woman is a potential sex trafficking candidate.   This is the second time woman has been in a long term relationship with some person she doesn't know anything about, and the first one dumped her. 

 How does she think she's going to get the money to finance all of this?   She's not going to get 50/50 custody when she's not even in the country, She's not going to get to take the kids overseas, or get alimoney or whatever she thinks she'll support herself with.    If it doesn't work out with Kevin, the minister, then she says the husband will take her back. 

I think this is the only catfish on Phil's many catfish shows that actually was a real person. 

The woman's mother telling her 'I won't let you go to Kenya" is ludicrous.     The husband should divorce her now, wave bye-bye, and watch her fall on her face.   The husband's a fool if he takes her back.   Dr. Phil's solution is 90 days of counseling for the current husband, and wife, with no contact with the boyfriend/fiance.     Stupid idea Phil.

I wonder if she even researched immigration from Kenya, or dual citizenship?   Because my research says Kenya doesn't allow dual citizenship, to become a citizen there, you have to renounce your current citizenship, and if a Kenyan becomes a citizen of the U.S. or any other country, your Kenyan citizenship is revoked.

My onscreen guide says it originally aired 2/11/2021. The production company was Left/Right Production, so not HH.

So another Beachfront retread.      I suspect a lot of these are retreads from other shows, like Island Life, Mexico Life, etc.   I turned it off the second I recognized the couple.    When are they going to drop the phony storylines about buying a vacation home for the family?    Almost all of these are investments for the short term rental market.     Several of the 'new' house hunters are beach or other reruns.   

It's all about cramming as many mattresses as they can into a house or condo.   The one with three bunk beds crammed in a medium size bedroom on one show the other night looked like a sardine can.

Personally, I think this show has jumped the shark. It's totally unwatchable,

I agree with you.   I'm guessing on the regular show, most are some kind of vacation or short term rental, with Indy 500 rentals going for thousands a month, plus football season,   Then from their website they have a bunch of short term rentals they own.   

You can look at houses they've done with a bathroom for every bedroom, tiny dining table, or only bar stools at a kitchen island, and the many open shelves (better for short term renters so they don't have to hunt for dishes, glasses, etc. ), and they're really not doing houses for individuals any more.   

The jump the shark moment for me was when they did that three story house 'forever house'  for the producer or director for his family, and the day or so after the episode aired, it was on the market.    Then, when she did that cheap looking hack job on the NBA player's house, and she said she wanted to change to remodeling high end properties, that was the end for me.   

Sadly, I didn't even watch the Risky Business series, I just wasn't interested, because I could predict exactly what was going to happen.  

I remember someone posting the Carriage House pictures a while ago, and it screamed short term rental to me.   I can't imagine renting the carriage house, and having a party going on right next to you.  

I dislike the very dark back splash tile, or wallpaper, it shows every speck.     I haven't been watching the Risky Business series, so I had to laugh at Miss Marble everything putting contact paper on a counter. 

Here's the ad with photos.   https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/685443456300800777?source_impression_id=p3_1663880034_I7n5whk2bxPlyheI

Not impressed with the main house decorating, and definitely not impressed with the carriage house.   They claim it's an event space, but the b and b ad says no parties or events.  Notice no reviews yet either. 

[S07.E04: Truth Hurts]

Yes, if Kim and Usman marry, he'll be husband #3 for her.   Are men with multiple wives, especially ones who annouce that on TV, allowed to come to the U.S. on any type of visa and get green cards? 

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Transient Parenting? -Plaintiff/homeless father Bruce Cohen is suing defendant/landlady Laura Martinez, for return of son’s belongings.   Plaintiff and child slept on defendant’s floor, then switched to another home, and plaintiff can’t remember that landlord’s name.   Child is 8 or 9-years old.    Plaintiff wanted to rent a room from defendant, but room wasn’t ready for a while, so plaintiff and son slept on the floor.   Right before they could have moved into the room, plaintiff and son left.  Plaintiff claims he left property behind, that defendant won’t return.    However, defendant says nothing was left behind.   This happened in Oceanside, CA, and ex-wife is in San Diego.    Plaintiff wants $5,000 for property that arrived in one car load, and plaintiff left in the same car. 

Ex-wife, son’s mother is in court, they’re just friends now, and not romantically involved.  Plaintiff and ex-wife were staying at the motel with son, then ex-wife left to her parent’s house.   Plaintiff lost his job, or quit, to be stay-at-home dad, and was staying in motel with son.  Ex-wife, and child’s mother isn’t working, but taking care of her ailing parents.   Ex-wife was unemployed, and plaintiff quit his job.  Plaintiff has been on public assistance for three months, and is transitioning to stay-at-home dad.   Plaintiff’s goal is to get a job.  My goal is to be very wealthy and 5’9”, that’s not happening either.

Room rent was $600, at Martinez residence, and plaintiff moved in with another woman, Lauren, but he can’t remember her last name, and was there for two weeks.  He left there because Lauren’s husband got jealous.  

Plaintiff claims he left suddenly, and defendant was screaming and yelling at him, and threatening to call CPS.   If anyone needs payment for pain and suffering then JJ does, and I do too.

Defendant claims she was talking to her adult daughter about how plaintiff treated son, and maybe calling CPS, and overheard by plaintiff.   So, plaintiff and son took off.  Defendant says they heard plaintiff choking his son, but didn’t actually see it. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Good Deed Gone Wrong -Plaintiff Alexis Lawson suing defendant Teri Bennett for not repaying loan to get her car out of impound.   Defendant says her car was towed, and impounded for an invalid parking permit for her neighborhood.    Litigants discussed the car impound issue, and defendant claims plaintiff gave her a gift to get her car out of impound.   (This was in Las Vegas).

Defendant says she had no money.  When JJ says defendant ‘Is not a rocket scientist’, defendant thanks her for saying that, and I have no idea why she thanked JJ for insulting her.  

Plaintiff receives $395

Second (2014)-

Blind Curve Catastrophe -Plaintiff /uninsured motorist Dawn Coltellino is suing defendant David Novak for her auto damages.  She was driving uninsured, and is suing the other driver for totaling her car.  Plaintiff drove for eight months without insurance.   Plaintiff was living in Pennsylvania, moved to Colorado, and didn’t change her address or get insurance in Colorado (you have to be covered by a policy from an insurance agency that is allowed to operate in that state, and had to have coverage according to the laws of the state you live in.)  Policy was in plaintiff’s name, not her parents the way she lied to JJ.   She also claims she was ‘in the process’ of moving to Colorado, but over 8 months?  

Plaintiff was driving south on Colorado State Highway 119, on a mountain road, and was being tailgated, so she put on her turn signals, pulled over but not off the road, two cars went around her, when defendant rear-ended her.   Defendant says he crested a hill, saw plaintiff parked on the road, shoulder was blocked by a snow bank, so no shoulder of the road was available, on a no passing zone.  There is a double yellow line, and no passing.   

Plaintiff’s boyfriend Daniel, man bun, lies to JJ about the accident.   Sorry, but a 4-cylinder Subaru does fine on the mountain roads in Colorado, Subaru is referred to as the ‘state car’ of Colorado.

Manbun, Daniel claims it’s not a blind corner, but it is. Plaintiff wasn’t off of the road.   I think she was still fully on the road.  

Defendant’s insurance company found plaintiff liable.   JJ is steamed at defendant for not going slower.  Colorado’s full of blind curves, and he was going at 30, 15 below the speed limit.

JJ gives plaintiff $50.   

Trashed Transport? -Plaintiff Augustine Okon suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Tamar Meeks for trashing important legal documents, including his Green Card.  The litigants were dating, and he put his old stuff in her storage room.   Storage junk was left for 14 months, and when defendant had to give storage unit up, plaintiff didn’t pick up his stuff, including his green card.    I call bull pucky on that, plaintiff carries his drivers license, and other items in his wallet, but abandons his green card in a storage unit for 18 month?    JJ’s right, no way plaintiff stored his green card.      This was in Beverly Hills, CA.    

He wants $5,000 for his green card and his passport.  Defendant says storage was dirty, used crock pots, dishware, etc.   He also claims his stuff was only there for a month, which is a total lie.   His own statement says items were in storage for six months, not one month.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2017)-

Sardines, and Dr. Pepper Vandal-Plaintiff Samantha Hines suing ex-boyfriend Timothy Peck, Jr for a bad check she cashed on his behalf, return of tools, and bank fees for the bad check.     Defendant Timothy Peck Jr. answered a craigslist ad, to have their cars wrapped in return for money.    Litigants never had the cars wrapped, but plaintiff received some of the money for an auto detail shop, to have the cars wrapped.    There were two checks, one to each litigant, and plaintiff deposited both checks.   

Defendant can't have a checking account, because while he was incarcerated, and divorcing the soon to be ex, he bounced checks, and the bank would make him pay the money back before he gets an account.    $1488 was plaintiff, and $1850 for defendant, and both were deposited by plaintiff into her checking account.    

Plaintiff claims she cashed the $1850 check, and claims she gave defendant the whole amount in cash.    Defendant says she paid him with a pack of Marlboro Reds, and a $20 bag of weed.   (This is when Byrd says JJ is the person writing a check at the grocery store that holds up the line.   JJ says she uses cash for groceries).        

Defendant claims the plaintiff ruined his fiancee's car (she's his witness), and plaintiff says car isn't in defendant's name, but her property.  So the plaintiff admits she vandalized the car, in front of 10 million people.     Defendant's new fiancee was incarcerated a few months after break up with plaintiff.   

Five days after the deposits, the checks were returned by the bank as bogus.    They broke up after this, a couple of weeks later.     Plaintiff paid a lot of her debts off before finding out the checks were bogus.    Plaintiff claims she was leery of paying the check money out, so only withdrew the money from his check.    The bank account shows she did withdraw her $1488, so she's a liar.      

Defendant claims plaintiff put fish oil in the car vents, etc.   Defendant bought a new car for fiancee, and JJ tells defendant to have his current squeeze sue plaintiff. 

Plaintiff claim dismissed over the checks. 

Motorcycle T-Bone Crash-Plaintiff Alondra-Soto Castillo suing driver that hit her while she was on her motorcycle, for a totaled motorcycle, damages, and lost wages.   Defendant Priscilla Valdez (car is owned by defendant's mother) received no citation for not having insurance, or the accident.   What a surprise (not at all) , defendant didn't have insurance on the day of the accident.      Police report confirms the defendant was at fault for the accident.   

Plaintiff was riding motorcycle straight, and defendant was coming from the other direction, turned left, and received no citation by the police for driving, or lack of insurance.     Plaintiff bounced off of defendant's car.    Defendant still says accident wasn't her fault. 

Defendant failed to yield to on-coming traffic.     Plaintiff only had liability on her motorcycle but missed a month of work.

$5,000 to plaintiff.  

Second (2017)-

Unwed Teen Parent Turmoil & CPS Visits-Plaintiff Haley Crosby s suing her child's father, defendant Christopher Stevens for filing multiple false CPS reports, and return of property.    Plaintiff says she can decide when defendant sees the child, because she's the mother (Sainted Single Mother of One) SSMO.   

Both litigants are 18.   Plaintiff now lives with a friend, and her friend's mother.    The litigants lived together at defendant's grandmother before the baby was born, and for a while after.   Before that plaintiff lived with family, but was booted out.    

Plaintiff claims defendant is controlling, so she moved in with the friend, who is 17, and friend's mother.     Plaintiff really never worked, but defendant has been constantly employed.   

Plaintiff claims defendant called CPS three times.    The property plaintiff wants back are baby items, and defendant will keep them.    Plaintiff is a jerk, and my guess will do anything she can to stop any relationship between father, and child.   

Defendant was caretaker for his son for months at a time.    

My guess, plaintiff will never get a job for any amount of time.   The last time defendant was 'allowed' to watch his child, she called the police to get the baby back.     She also pulled the old 'I was breast feeding a little" as an excuse to keep full custody.  She was only feeding a little at bedtime, to keep full custody.    

 The woman who lets the plaintiff live with her seems to think defendant has no right to see his own child either.  Jennifer Basset (the woman plaintiff lives with) is just as bad as the plaintiff.    

(Why do I have the suspicion of how well the plaintiff's friend's divorce will go?) 

JJ throws out plaintiff's stupid case.    JJ says to get a mediator, or court order delineating custody, support, and visitation.

Mayo will work IN AN EMERGENCY as a conditioner.  At least that's what I always heard growing up 60+ years ago. I have no idea if it's true.  

It's also an easy way to remove a perm, if you slather it on right after it's done.     I don't know if it's because of the protein in the eggs, or the oil, or a combination of both.   A long time ago I wanted a body perm, loose curls, and the woman turned me into a poodle.   So, when I got home I took a close look, drove right next door to my grocery store, bought a big jug of real mayo, slathered it on, and left it for a while, and when I washed it out, the hair straightened out, at least the part by my roots that had just been done.   Of course, the older perm was still there.  

On the women pooping commercial, isn't that the same company that's doing the Kathy Lee Gifford vitamin commercial?    They should have a join commercial with plastic surgery, botox and fillers for the KLG one.

John is having some legal issues concerning a barn on his property.

https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/?p=2707439

After reading the article, I side with the trustees who oppose giving him amendments that totally ignore the rules that the trustees, and everyone else follow in the properties they oversee.     He sould have bought land that wasn't in the restricted area,   Maybe he should realize it was be cheaper to develop other land, instead of spending millions to get a variance he will never receive.     People who put land in a conservancy should know exactly what they're getting into, especially when someone buys land that's in restriction.    

Tonight's new episode "Colorful Victorian" 1800s Victorian in Marblehead, redone for the family and their two Great Danes.   Holly, and Jason are the owners. Only had three owners, beautiful house.   The living room moldings are spectacular.   Woodwork is fantastic.   There are no closets on the first floor.  THe built-in china closet is beautiful.  the sun room is bizarre, Laundry is in the basement, and the handrail on one side is rope, that's going to be moved to the first floor.     Kitchen is hideous, with a post in the middle of the room.   I wonder if the kitchen is an addition? 

Sun room will turn into storage, and part mudroom.   Kitchen will get new cabinets, and laundry will be behind kitchen, not in that hideous basement.  Budget is $175k to $225k.   

Jon goes to Las Vegas where Debbie Gibson and Joey McIntire are appearing (hope I got the names right). 

Jon goes to see Kristina's family's car collection.  What a fantastic collection of antique cars!     I love the tile mosaic with hexagonal tiles for the entry floor.  It's exactly what the homeowners asked for.   I like that the wallpaper coordinates with the foyer mosaic tile colors.    I don't like the change from the yellow front door to the brighter blue.   I love the new foyer, and the mudroom/coat closet, and the office wallpaper that coordinates with the floor mosaic tile. 

The dog bed area is cute, but I don't like the log wall.    OVerall, with the new kitchen, mud room, office and foyer, I really like what Jon and Kristina did.

First (2014)-

Child and Car Custody Battle -Plaintiff Juanita Butler (mother of defendant’s ex) and her son the father of the grandchild with defendant) suing defendant/ex-girlfriend of plaintiff’s son, and mother of his child, Desieree Welte, for the balance of a car loan..   Custody was 50/50, and plaintiff and son wanted that changed, and plaintiff served papers on defendant at her job for the custody case, and repo’d the car that defendant was driving.   Defendant says plaintiff would give her the car if she relinquished custody.   (This happened in Santa Barbara, CA).

Defendant claims one payment was late, and one skipped.   Plaintiff told to produce proof about car payment arrearage, but can’t.    Police were called and helped plaintiff take the car back.    That evening plaintiff called defendant to her home to sign a contract about car payments.   Defendant claims plaintiff never brought up anything about the car payments, and going to 50/50 custody.   One month before this case it was more like 10/90, with no support, and each paid for expenses when they had the child.   Then, plaintiff mother and son wanted 50/50 custody, and the car possession came up.    Plaintiff son’s wages were garnished to pay Medi-Cal (medical care by the state, for the baby).    Then, the plaintiff repo’d the car, and defendant signed the agreement to get the car back, and keep up payments.

Instead of paying the car payments to ex’s mother, defendant wanted to buy another car for herself.  Defendant took her tax refund to buy another car, instead of paying car off to plaintiff.    Defendant also didn’t try to refi the car loan either.

Plaintiff gets $5,000, leaving a shortfall of $2000 for plaintiff.

Older Cabbie’s Young Roomie  -Plaintiff/landlord Stephen Smith suing Katelyn Carmine defendant/former tenant for unpaid rent.    Plaintiff is a cabbie, who is 60, and he moved defendant, 23-years-old, into his two-bedroom apartment, and wants months of unpaid rent.   

Between September and March defendant didn't pay rent, and he didn't move to evict her until she had been there for eight months. 

Defendant crashed at plaintiff's place a couple of times, and then he invited her to move in. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, no contract. 

Second (2014)-

Mama Drama! -Plaintiff mother Angie Hartman suing defendants Jeffrey Hartman (son) and (girlfriend) Kerie Mainord breaking a lease in her name, stealing property, and damaging a car in plaintiff’s name.   Plaintiff prepaid 6 months rent on the apartment.  Rent was $620 a month, and defendants were supposed to pay plaintiff $350, after the first six months were up.  (Pasadena, TX is where this happened).

Then, plaintiff was called by apartment manager about trashed apartment.    Then plaintiff mother argued with Kerie, and Kerie moved out.    Three weeks later, plaintiff and friend cleaned the apartment up, and changed the locks.   Defendants moved in with defendant Kerie’s mother.    Then, Kerie went back and took her clothes, and Jeffrey’s clothes, but left everything else.  Kerie claims plaintiff owes her $2,000 for property Kerie left behind in the apartment and never picked up.

Plaintiff is still paying the rent on the apartment, and wants a car she loaned to son, car is in plaintiff’s name, and JJ will give mother an order to pick up the car.   Car is in Pasadena TX, at defendant Kerie’s mother’s house.    Plaintiff wants rent $350 after six months, but prepaid the first six months in full.

Defendants claim they paid two months of the $350, but didn’t pay utilities, JJ tells plaintiff to give up on utilities.     JJ says plaintiff coming into apartment on the eight’s month breaks the contract for defendants to pay rent.  

Plaintiff case dismissed. She gets the car back with a marshal’s help, and defendant will give mother back the key to plaintiff’s sister’s storage unit.   

In Hallterview plaintiff wants son to leave Mainord and move home.   Defendant Mainord says she’s not holding plaintiff hostage, and he’s free to go back to mom’s at any time.     

The Mentor and the Squatter?   -Plaintiff/former landlord Wilson Reeves suing defendant/former roommate Kane Martin for unpaid rent, gas, and auto insurance costs.    Plaintiff wants gas money for taking defendant to and from work (plaintiff’s not going to get that).    Plaintiff has a big house, and rents two bedrooms at a time.    Defendant says there was no rental agreement with plaintiff, but $500 was the rent though.   (East Carbondale, IL)

Defendant stopped paying rent, even though the rent was reduced to $300.   I have no idea why the rent went down.   Defendant paid $200 a month, short of $300 rent.    Plaintiff owes rent and stopped paying, but stayed at the house, because defendant says plaintiff invaded his privacy.   I wonder what the backstory is on the rent reductions?  

Plaintiff wants $2,000 for unpaid rent, not happening, and not getting gas money or auto insurance either.   

$575 to plaintiff for rent, everything else dismissed.    Defendant finally moved out.

First (2017)-

Teen Assaults Woman With Mace-(I remember this one, I really hoped that Officer Byrd would mace the spoiled brat, or taser her, I love to see a tasing where the person is flopping around on the floor and screaming) .   I bet Officer Byrd and the security crew were close by for this case)-Plaintiff Cassandra Griffin was sitting in a nail shop getting a pedicure at the Pink Lotus Nail Salon, and the 13-year-old defendant, Adriana Sterling, daughter of Bar'Jah Sterling walked into the salon, and maced the plaintiff. after saying she was going to mace her.   Plaintiff wrestled the mace away, and police were called.   

Plaintiff wants medical bills, and punitive damages from the assault.   Defendant's mother doesn't care, never will, and JJ can stop telling the defendant's mother about teen's future. 

Defendant daughter claims she had a confrontation with plaintiff a couple of years ago, over tag football, at least according to defendant, and her mother. Defendant daughter claims plaintiff grabbed her hair, and was swinging her around over the football argument.

After the salon macing the result of criminal charges was minor teen had a three-year protective order keeping her away from plaintiff.   This protective order was in lieu of criminal charges, but the daughter has no consequences from mother. 

Defendant mother keeps saying the daughter was protecting herself, and carries mace all of the time.  Why would someone who claims to be afraid of the plaintiff, and clearly saw her before entering the salon, then go into the salon?

Plaintiff submits medical bills, but because of her health insurance, there were no medical bills that were not paid by Kaiser.   The lawyer plaintiff consulted sent her to the chiropractor, that plaintiff is not getting that. (funny note, right after the chiropractor/lawyer statement by plaintiff, a couple of local personal injury attorneys advertised on my local channel).    

$2500 to plaintiff.  Defendant's idiot mother is still making excuses for her in the hall-terview.

When Old Cats Attack-Plaintiff Nichole McClure suing neighbor Betty DalPorto for vet bills, after defendant's cat attacked plaintiff's dog.    Plaintiff was walking her dog on a leash, and defendant comes along with her own dog on leash, and with defendant's vicious cat trailing behind.   Plaintiff says cat attacked her dog, without warning.   Defendant claims her cat ran out from under a car, and attacked the plaintiff's dog, and claims it was self defense.   

This gets even better, when plaintiff says the number defendant gave her to discuss the vet bill was totally wrong, not a number or two reversed, etc. but four last digits are wrong.    Defendant says there is no leash law for cats in California, but JJ points out the cat doesn't have to be on a leash, but the owner is responsible for damages.    Pictures of the poor dog are bloody, and horrible to look at.   

Plaintiff receives $305.

Second (2017)-

Don't Sell Dogs to Teenagers!-Plaintiff Francine Smolkowski sold the 18 year old defendant Halle Frey, a German Shepherd puppy (defendant used to be a student of plaintiff).   When puppy was injured, defendant refused to take dog to vet, until the choice was put the dog down, or do surgery.   Plaintiff loaned the money to defendant for the vet bill.  Defendant and boyfriend are both unemployed, and living with boyfriend's parents.     Puppy gets leg infection, vet said dog needed surgery, or needed to be put down.   Vet bill was $4,169.     

Plaintiff breeds one litter per year.   Plaintiff has texts from defendant saying she would start paying money back.   Why did plaintiff sell the defendant a puppy?   Defendant doesn't have a stable situation in housing, and a spotty employment record.    

Plaintiff wants to buy dog back from defendant. Defendant says she does interviews for money? Sounds shady to me. 

  The plaintiff telling the viewing audience that she wants to buy the dog back was a huge mistake.    I'm sure if defendant had any intention of selling the dog, the price would now be huge.  

Plaintiff gets $4,169. 

World's Worst Roommate-Plaintiff Wendy  Scheller suing former roommate Bradley Bates for unpaid rent, and vet bills.  Plaintiff's witness is another roommate Anthony , and defendant and plaintiff witness were on the lease.    The plaintiff and witness were paid by the roommates, and then defendant paid the landlord, until defendant stopped paying rent for five months.      Plaintiff paid the back rent to the landlord, after defendant stole the plaintiff and her witness' rent money.     When landlord contacted plaintiff and witness, plaintiff paid the back rent, and kicked defendant out.    

Defendant says in the hall-terview that he was sending money to some Catfish online, and is still sending her money.   

Defendant wants his property back, and claims that he owes the landlord or property manager.   However, there is proof the plaintiff paid the landlord, but only has a suspicious receipt for the payments.  I'm hoping plaintiff will be able to show where she took the money out of her bank account for the back rent, $5730.  Defendant claims that since plaintiff Wendy Scheller wasn't on the lease, then landlord wouldn't come after her for money.   What law school did defendant graduate from?   

I think the plaintiff and witness should have filed criminal charges against the defendant.  However, embezzling like this is often not even prosecuted.   $3530 was proven to be paid by plaintiff.

Defendant's claim for his property is dismissed, but he will get stuff back from the front porch (someone else will have to pick it up), and at the appointed date and time items will be there for one hour, and considered abandoned and trashed after that.

$3530 to plaintiff.

I really liked Marcus, I think he's just not a competition baker.   I think the time limits on all of the baking contests are too short.     However, I would love to try his food, he seems like such a nice person, and so creative. 

I can't imagine how to be creative, work with the time limits on this show, decorate up to their standards, and still come up with creative flavors that go together.      I know there have been contestants on other competition shows that were criticize for doing the same dishes over and over.   If your bakery specialty is pastry, or pies or cakes, it would be hard to change that for this 8 week contest.   

I'm wondering how fast they do the actual contest and filming?   Since the first two episodes were two hours.    Starting next Monday they'll only have one hour of this one, followed by a cookie contest.

I'm not sure I'm ever watching this show again, after yesterday's reruns.     JM's ruling and comments were despicable, and cruel.  She obviously in only doing this for the paycheck.    I'm out. 

I might wait a while, or next season (starts in October), but I'm definitely not watching any more animal cases.    I thought JM being so out there with treating litigants with cruelty, but looking at the older cases, (I must not have watched them in 2018), she's been getting mean for a long time.    For one example, look at how she kept treating the grandmother who bought furniture for her granddaughter, and the granddaughter kept lying about how much she repaid.  JM kept saying the grandmother didn't remember, when my view was the granddaughter lied about repaying.

First (2014)-

Stabbed in the Face! -Plaintiff Isaac Medina suing defendant Derek White for assaulting him, and stabbing him during an argument on the street.  Plaintiff is suing for medical bills, and defendant is suing for property damage.    Plaintiff was out with a group at Picnic Day at UC Davis.   Plaintiff and friend were crossing the street to his car.   Defendant was in his car, with his two children, driving down the same street.   Plaintiff claims there were a lot of people in the street, and plaintiff and friend were crossing in the crosswalk.   When defendant drove down the street, and almost hit the plaintiff and witness.    Defendant got out of his car, after plaintiff witness, Kelsey Crane,  and I bet others, yelled at him.    Plaintiff was about 10 feet away from defendant.   Other people from plaintiff's group were behind him.  Plaintiff drinks the Water That Should Not Be Drunk.   

Witness Kelsey Crane was a couple of arm lengths from defendant, plaintiff was about ten feet back.  Plaintiff pulled his witness back, and then defendant hit him, and it turned out defendant had stabbed him in the face.    The pictures are horrible.    Defendant was looking for used stroller for his infant child, turned around the corner, and saw people all over the street.   Witness told defendant he almost hit her friend (who was in the crosswalk).   Defendant claims someone punched him first.     Defendant claims he saw a hand with a knife coming at him, and he grabbed the hand, and pushed it away, slashing the plaintiff's face.   

Then defendant got in his car, and went around the corner, saw some police officers, and reported the incident.     Defendant also had a stab wound on his cheek, and grew a beard to cover the scar.    Defendant's 8-year-old was interviewed by police right after the incident (sorry, I don't give credence to an 8-year-old's testimony).

Police report tells a different story than plaintiff.     Defendant's 8-year-old on police report says plaintiff and friends attacked the father, started punching him, one man had a knife, and went after her father.     Neither litigant was charged.  JJ is blaming plaintiff witness for this.    What about defendant almost hitting people with his car?    (I wonder if the police report was made right after the confrontation?    If it was, that was only claimed by defendant).   

I think both sides were acting like fools.    Even if the plaintiff witness wasn't drinking, the plaintiff certainly was, and I think the plaintiff witness is volatile.      However, the defendant certainly must have been going pretty fast, and not paying attention to people crossing all over the street, and that huge crowd.       I think JJ was right, no one deserved anything.   

All cases dismissed.   

Second (2014)-

Soldier Accused of Credit Card Theft -Plaintiffs (mother) Linda Zapora and (daughter) Taylor Zapora are suing defendant Miles Fredette for unauthorized credit card charges on mother’s credit card.  Defendant was in the military,  Army Reservist, and is now in truck driving school.    Plaintiff daughter had mother’s credit card, and since litigants were shacking up, they both used the mother’s credit card.

Daughter lives in Boston, and works in Boston, and defendant moved to Lawrence, Mass, so mother thinks anything out of Boston will be defendant’s charges.    The only reason JJ will consider payment on card is defendant’s facebook message about paying Taylor back for something.   Mother’s mistake was putting daughter on credit card as an authorized user.  Mother claims they were only shacked up for a week.

$554 to plaintiff.

Super Lovebug Lawsuit -Plaintiff Elizabeth Lewis suing defendant/ex-boyfriend David Johnson over a 1972 Super Beetle, plaintiff wants either the money she put into the car, or the value of the car.   After they split up, defendant has car because it’s titled in his name, and defendant paid for car.   But defendant traded in his Mustang, worth $1800.    Plaintiff claims she put about $9,000 in the car.   JJ will only consider what plaintiff has receipts to prove.

Plaintiff totals up receipts she put into it, and so far it’s $2000.   However, defendant does everything in cash, including deposits to plaintiff’s account so he’s out of luck.  

JJ drafts an order to give title to plaintiff, defendant gets $1800, and defendant gets money when he transfers title to her, and she takes possession.

First (2017)-

Heartthrob Concert Chaos!-Plaintiff Michelle Miller mother suing defendant mother Lisa Moore for concert tickets, and limo, plus for bullying, and an assault.    This was a concert trip for a nine-year-old's birthday party, including the limo ride (limo was only to go to the concert, not roundtrip).    The birthday party was a concert trip to see a Jacob Sartorius concert.   Plaintiff mother wanted to take her daughter, and defendant's daughters to the concert, plus a friend and her daughter, and hired a limo.    So. plaintiff's daughter heard about the concert trip, and then defendant (daughters were friends of plaintiff's daughter, but not friends anymore), and the friend and child went too.    Concert performer was Jacob Sartorius, who apparently lip syncs. 

Defendant said her daughters could go to the concert with plaintiff's daughter.   Plaintiff purchased the tickets, and then defendant claims she hadn't agreed to pay for the tickets yet.   However, plaintiff purchased tickets for her own daughter, and later purchased tickets for defendant's daughters, at first the plaintiff was willing to buy the tickets, and defendant was told the tickets were $162 for defendant's daughter.   

The limo was booked the day after the ticket purchase by plaintiff, and plaintiff wanted defendant to pay half for the limo, but defendant claims the price for limo kept changing.     Litigants can't agree on how much the limo was, and who was paying for what part of the limo ride.    (The reason the third each is plaintiff, defendant, and plaintiff's irritating witness were using the limo).    The day of the concert is when the limo arrived, and when defendant found out about the limo.      Plaintiff is awful (and so is that stupid looking wig she's wearing).   (Also, the third mother, Tracy is staring at JJ with her mouth hanging open, not a good look).

Defendant says the day before the concert was when she found out about the limo being hired, and the strange 'contract' for the limo is submitted.    After the concert was when the defendant was told about the limo cost.    Limo cost $434, split three ways.    Then defendant posted pictures of her own children at the concert, and then the limo price demanded by the plaintiff was $394.    (Limo ride was only to the concert, not back home). Then the bullying charge was added by the plaintiff to her case. 

Plaintiff claims text message from defendant the night of the concert started the feud.   Plaintiff daughter was invited backstage, when plaintiff 'just happened' to meet the star's manager, and plaintiff's daughter went to meet the star.    JJ tells plaintiff it was rude to have only her daughter go back stage, and plaintiff is nodding, but smirking too.   I really wonder if the backstage pass was as spontaneous as plaintiff claimed it was?  I doubt it.

After the concert the daughters started arguing.    Plaintiff added bullying to the law suit, after the original filing.  However, defendant was never served with the amended complaint. Plaintiff claims her daughter received mean texts, and other bullying incidents, and is claiming for an assault.    (In hall-terview plaintiff calls defendant a lousy mother, and says she hopes defendant moves away)

Plaintiff receives $306 for the limo ride, and tickets. 

Second (2017)-

Drugs, Kids, and Feuding Parents-Plaintiff Nancy Minacci (mother-in-law), and DIL Carmela Minacci, and Steven Minacci, (husband) are suing defendant for tax deductions, and refund for the children.  Plaintiffs were going to lose custody of their children after drug arrests, and defendant Joshua Mendez, (ex of plaintiff) took custody. 

Plaintiff has three children, 10 and 8 with defendant, and baby with plaintiff husband.    Plaintiff mother is suing for income tax for the two boys, but the plaintiff mother only had the children for two and a half months.   (Plaintiff daughter-in-law is another personal care assistant).   Defendant pays $200 a month for child support for his two kids.   

Before 2016 defendant had custody of his two kids, and the children's mother had the kids part time, no support order.     In 2015 defendant had six months custody for the two boys, and all of 2013, and 2014 defendant had custody.     In 2016 the three kids were with the plaintiff, her idiot husband, and they got busted for drugs, and CPS wanted to put the three kids in foster care.   Baby was born 2015, and plaintiff claims the baby wasn't born addicted.    MIL has an 8 year old, and dumped into foster care, and she had the baby for a few months. 

Defendant was about to become homeless, so he let children go to their mother.    CPS is involved in 2016 because of allegations from plaintiffs about the defendants.   The oldest child is in a therapeutic foster home.   Plaintiff mother-in-law gave 8-year-old to CPS.    I wonder if anyone drug tested the plaintiffs, including the MIL?    They seem totally stoned, especially the MIL, who can barely talk.      Defendant says plaintiff DIL called CPS herself.     Defendant says allegations by plaintiff wife, and MIL are preventing him from taking custody, because of CPS allegations. 

JJ points out defendant shows no signs of drug use, but plaintiffs can't say the same. 

Defendant says in hall-terview that plaintiff ex-wife has had parental rights severed to all four of her children, two with defendant, one with the other plaintiff, and who knows about the fourth child.  

Plaintiff case is dismissed, and JJ says defendant should go to family court to get custody of his two kids.

Childcare Drama-Plaintiff Krystena Wall suing defendant Kayla Franks, for unpaid babysitting fees, and damaged property.   Defendant was working part time, and later full time.    Defendant is now paying her mother to watch the children, but didn't pay plaintiff.   Plaintiff was never paid at all by the defendant.   Defendant claims plaintiff was supposed to take two classes to be paid by the state, and she didn't take the classes.    Defendant is paying her own mother $250 every two weeks to care for the children. 

I love it when a litigant barely has to say a word to win.   

Plaintiff receives $850 for babysitting services.

Drug Arrests and Friendship-Plaintiff  Cheyenne  Verbish  suing her former friend Jenny Benzon for a loan for bail, after defendant was arrested for selling drugs.   Defendant was arrested more than one time, for drug sales in a short period of time.    One needed a co-signer, and that case defendant took a plea, she also served jail time too.

I fail to see why defendant is so damn happy about getting arrested twice for selling drugs, and going to jail.     Plaintiff signed for bail for the first arrest, and a few days later defendant offended again, got caught, and bail was revoked.  $1251 was bail charge paid by plaintiff,

$1251 to plaintiff. 

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

2018 rerun "Dog Attack Anger"

Case 1- Plaintiff Mr. Friedman and daughter, claim defendant's lab ran out of defendant's garage and attacked their dog, defendant Arthur Gurtman really doesn't care.  Plaintiffs want $5,000 for vet bills.   

Plaintiff daughter was walking Beagle Sweetie, 13-year-old, leashed and on sidewalk, and Labrador ran out and pushed Sweetie into the street, kept attacking and biting the poor Beagle.    Plaintiff daughter (24 years-old), says she's the only one that did anything (defendant's daughter was 15, and did nothing).    Then when defendant came out, he denied the dog was injured, took the Beagle inside his house, and plaintiff took dog to vet, and then emergency vet.    

Poor Sweetie died about 10 days later.    Lab was given back to shelter it came from, and I bet another family member adopted the dog on the spot.   Defendant denies he picked up Beagle, went inside his house, slamming the door in plaintiff daughter's face.   Defendant paid just about $1800, and says he can't pay more.  Bills added up to $6800, and $5,000 with the 1,800 payments. 

How nice of JM to say the 15 year-old who let the Lab out is not reponsible, and plaintiff daughter's freezing at first was just as bad.  

JM uses the excuse that Sweetie was older, and sick, and blames the other condition on the dog's death.   JM lets defendant loser off the hook.    So, now plaintiffs owe $5,000 but due to defendant's negligence they will owe the bill, and have no dog.   I agree with plaintiff wife, defendant says he got rid of Lab, but who knows.  Also, defendant admits the Lab was dog aggressive.  I bet the shelter (Oyster Bay) adopted that dog out again.  I dislike JM right now, she actually said spending more than the dog was worth on vet bills was a waste. 

After thinking about this case, I guess JM thought since the attack victim was older, the plaintiffs should have just let her bleed out, or die of infection because she wasn't worth saving?    That's pretty much what JM said.  The defendant knew his dog was dog aggressive, since the dog was from a rescue then I'm guessing it came with an attack history.      JM and the defendant's attitudes were despicable.  And JM claiming the defendant's daughter doing nothing, was the same as plaintiff daughter momentarily freezing was exactly the same was also despicable.    

Case 2-Plaintiff owns apartment next to defendant's apartment.  Plaintiff rented her apartment to defendant's employee, and she says the apartment was trashed.    Why is defendant's witness in full naval uniform (Two stripes, so LT I think).     Defendant rents huge boats for charters, like Uber for boats.     

Plaintiff lived next door to defendant, so his uniformed buddy was renting the plaintiff's apartment.   Apartment was rented from for 9 months, before plaintiff inspected apartment.    Plaintiff says floor was trashed, bathroom was disgusting, and she wants $2,000 for remediation to clean, get smoke smell removed.     Captain Crunch (the boat captain) says he smokes, but outside.    Plaintiff said painted had to repaint entire apartment twice, and remediation of the smoke smell, and cleaning was expensive. 

Plaintiff thought she was renting to one boat employee, not multiple.  In fact, plaintiff just found out in court that it was rented to multiple employees of defendant. Defendant blames everything on the hurricane. 

$2000 from defendant to plaintiff.   

Case 3-Plaintiff put down a deposit to rent an auto body shop from defendant, changed his mind three days later, and wants his deposit back.   I agree with defendant, plaintiff found another shop to rent at either a better price, better location, or both.   Defendant keeps the deposit.

I do wonder if Libby will write any of her own nursery rhymes or just stick with the classics?  Too bad Ba ba black sheep has already been written because she has that to expound on from her own personal life experience.

Yeah! Sounds too adventurous for Jenny!

Taxis are so cheap, why get a car?     Driving in that wild traffic would scare me to death.

Why can't they go to Homegoods/Homesense or Target?

Yeah, I'd probably skip the $250 cushion.

My guess is Homegoods/Target etc won't allow filming in their stores. 

[Jenny & Sumit: Slumdog Thousandaire]

And Daddy Sumit called her an 'Oldie".   She was 62 when the show started filming her so I bet she's 65 or so by now. 

[Renovation Island - General Discussion]

So, they can't finish half of the house, because they need permits, but the other half could be finished, and they could move out of the RV, but Bryan's still working on the hangar.   I can't believe how much other work they do when they need to finish the house, so they can move in.       I can't believe the subdivision they live in would be OK with him parking that RV in the front driveway.   

Also, when they know there's a possibility of tornadoes, why leave so much stuff sitting outside?    They have no sense, no scheduling, and I really don't care about them having to spend 10 days in a hotel to do the hangar epoxy floor.   I'm down to hate watching and laughing at their ridiculous story liines.

I used to live in Enterprise, but I didn't watch this show this week.    Did they show the boll weevil statue is very tiny?     Because it is.    The way they photograph it for the tourism website is hysterical, it looks like it's 10 feet tall.

New season started Saturday with 2 episodes.

Didn't watch the Gabby Petito episode. 

Dressage coach episode:  Um, based on my totally scientific evaluation of the evidence which was expertly comprised of my just looking at her --I do agree that bitch drove him mad! Still, dude should have ended his coaching relationship with her, got her off his property, and sued her for defamation ~not shot her! 

He was trying to evict her, she refused to go, and her father was negotiating for her to leave.  The police refused to do anything about her squatting on the property.    The police didn't test for fingerprints on the gun, or have any testimony but Karanek and her employee/boyfriend.     She said she wanted to destroy him, and take his farm over.

There's no guarantee that the decoy houses were actually on the market. Could be they are places that they got permission to film.

My understanding is the decoy houses are usually short term rentals,     That way they can use the furnished ones as decoys, and the house that's already owned, and has some furnishings isn't so obvious.  

However, that's only if #3 was a quality remodel, and the electric and plumbing was done up to code.  

[All Episodes Talk: Let’s Talk About Dr Phil the Show]

OWN Rerun, "Ultimate Moochers from 2012.      The first case the people got a job out of state, tried to sell the house, and couldn't, so they locked it up and winterized it.    Then, some squatters a scammer sold it to broke in, and won't leave, and the authorities won't do a damn thing.   

Dr. Phil tells the wife that she should be fine with that because she still has her husband and kids.    Who is he kidding!    They are on the hook for taxes, insurance, mortgage, and you know the squatters don't do any maintenance or anything else,and are probably trashing the house, and selling anything they can. 

 Then, he says Bank of America with work with them.    I bet the squatters never left, and the family lost everything. 

Then, the couple bought a big house with a garage MIL apartment upstairs.   But they moved into the apartment, and let daughter and three kids move into the main house, then her husband moves in (don't know if they're husband's kids or not).

   The couple haven't received rent in almost a year, the mother pays for daughter's car when it gets repo'd (mother paid twice to get the car back), insurance, all of the bills for the kids, and the daughter's paying nothing on utilities, so you know the mother's paying that off.     

The daughter is 'going through a rough patch' , and tried to run over the gutless father on at least one occasion.     Her only statement about that is that if she wanted her father dead, he would be.   The mother's solution is daughter moves, and leaves the kids behind for grandma to raise.      You know the daughter will never move and give the kids up, because it's her leverage against the parents.     

Phil's solution is to give them 90 days with his useless counselors,, and then if the family dynamic doesn't change, then they should evict daughter and kids.   You know the gutless parents won't do that, and daughter won't stop being a freeloader.   I bet the situation is exactly the same.
