Or it's a Thanksgiving turkey platter, used every day, multiple times a day. If a wedding ceremony is so important, I bet the minister will make a house call.

Mommy isn't a lightweight either. Any bets on how many diet program commercials we'll have tonight?

So, he didn't know his father, but was grief stricken when deadbeat daddy croaked, so he ate himself to 400 lbs. by 18? I bet he'll send daddy one heck of a letter later. There's a must miss event tomorrow night, Margaret's Supersized episode, with boring added scenes.

Ontreon Shannon, Plano TX, 36 years old, and weight unknown. I find the 7 month filming ominous. He's married but they live with his mother. He's 'overwhelmed', and overwhelmingness, that sounds like hoarders, they're always overwhelmed. So, he's blaming grandma?

4 p.m. reruns- First (2014)- Dog Blamed for Violent Crash -Plaintiff/motorcyclist Richard ‘Rick’ Gibson suing defendant/dog owner Kristi Funk for her unleashed dog running into traffic, causing a motorcycle collision that injured him, his witnesses, and totaled his bike. Plaintiff wants $3796 for motorcycle damages. Dog ran out onto a four-lane highway, when a group of motorcyclists were approaching. Then, Dennis Wallace and his wife, (Vicki Wallace) on separate motorcycles, hit the pavement. Dennis Wallace is plaintiff’s witness, who was on another motorcycle, and hit plaintiff. Vicki Wallace broke five teeth in the accident. Defendant and friends had been in the park / picnic area next to the road, and her dog was off leash, swimming with the group, then dog disappeared, and the collisions happened. Defendant says plaintiff was speeding, so accident had nothing to do with her dog turning into a speed bump on the highway. Plaintiff noticed dog running into traffic, started braking. SUV started braking, and then plaintiff’s witness wife hit an SUV with her bike. Then, plaintiff witness struck Mr. Wallace, and Mrs. Wallace hit the back of the SUV. Defense witness Bergoyne says dog was swimming with them, and saw dog leave the creek, and go up to the road. Witness tries to claim the dog never went into traffic, which is a lie. Plaintiff receives $3500 for his motorcycle. Plaintiff witness’s injuries were covered by medical and vehicle insurance. Roommate Disaster -Plaintiff/former roommates Jeremy Bauer (boyfriend) and (girlfriend) Giavanna Corado suing defendant/former third roommate Nathan Osias for unpaid rent, personal property and storage fees. Defendant moved out, and was replaced with another roommate. By the middle of the month, defendant moved out, and next roommate moved her stuff in. In the hall-terview plantiff Bauer claims he’s going to press criminal charges for the dresser that defendant took with him when he left. However, the contract signed with the show states that nothing will be adjudicated after the court case. The dresser was a freebie that plaintiff Bauer inherited and put in the other bedroom. Plaintiff case dismissed. Second (2013)- Mom Thrown Out of Courtroom! -Plaintiff Kyle Grant suing defendant/former friend Leah Hensel for repayment of a loan to take several people out for a birthday dinner. Plaintiff claims defendant repaid him with a bad check. Defendant denies plaintiff ever gave her any money, and claims the $250 check she wrote plaintiff was so they could all take her boyfriend out for his birthday dinner, but just to show plaintiff’s mother (no, it doesn’t make sense to me either). Plaintiff’s mother is given the Byrd boot, after she won’t stop shaking her head like a bobble head doll, and because she’s arguing, and talking back to JJ. Plaintiff Mommy keeps saying “No” when Byrd boots her, and I wish he really had booted her. Defendant claims it wasn’t a loan, and plaintiff wasn’t supposed to cash the $250 check, but plaintiff cashed it anyway, and it bounced. Defendant’s explanation of why the check wasn’t a loan is bizarre, and how it wasn’t supposed to be cashed. Litigants claim they both went to the casino, with the ex-boyfriend, and defendant claims to remembers nothing. Then defendant wrote the rubber check. Defendant’s witness keeps laughing at plaintiff’s testimony. Plaintiff has proof he withdrew the $250 from his bank account. JJ points out the liars on this show sometimes end up with a red chest, like defendant has now. My thanks to the camera operator who zoomed in on defendant’s red chest. (I loathe the defendant for taking advantage of the compromised plaintiff. Defendant should be ashamed, but I know she isn’t.) Plaintiff receives $250. Ex-Lover’s Excuse -Plaintiff Nancy Victorioso suing defendant /Ex-boyfriend John Allen, for a loan to buy a truck, there were three loans that total $2300, and the first two loans weren’t paid back. $2,000 down payment was for defendant’s truck, and he says a truck loan was a gift. Defendant claims he never asked plaintiff for the money, that she offered, and said he didn’t have to pay it back. $2,000 to plaintiff. I wouldn’t have given her a penny, he never paid a penny back, so she had no expectation of repayment. 5 p.m. reruns- First (2017)- Savage Dog Attack-Plaintiff Michelle Neal suing defendants Valerie and Jose Betancourt, for vet bills, after an attack by defendant's German Shepherd on plaintiff's Chihuahua at a dog park. This part of the dog park is for walking, not ball throwing, which is in another part of the park. Defendants claim their German Shepherd didn't attack the Chi, but it was another GSD. Chi was off-leash, (legal at the dog park area), when the GSD attack happened, and plaintiff's boyfriend Jesse Lara, separated the dogs by grabbing the GSD’s collar. Then, the GSD slipped the collar, and attacked two more times. Jesse freed the Chihuahua again, and a good Samaritan helped plaintiff wrap a jacket around the dog. Defendant wife gave her phone number to plaintiff, but later claimed the dog who attacked the Chi wasn’t her GSD. Defendant wife came up to get her GSD, but now claims her dog didn't do it. Defendant wife did give her phone number to plaintiff. but refused to pay the bills, and defendant husband got very nasty with plaintiff, and her boyfriend. Defendant wife said that her husband, and the boyfriend should settle things, man to man. Defendant husband claims his wife has massive panic attacks, so they shouldn't have to deal with this. He also claims his dog ran away, but another GSD did the attack. The reason these people lost is because of their ridiculous attitudes, and bizarre defense. Plaintiffs receive $5,000. Medical Treatment Disaster- (I remember this one, the poor woman with the treatment has a horrific disease. Money was borrowed to pay the medical bills.) Plaintiff Angelica Bouchet suing her husband’s brother-in-law/defendant Charles Schafer for the repayment of a loan for defendant's wife chemo therapy bills. Plaintiff denies she knew about the wife's condition, Wegener’s disease, which requires chemotherapy, but claims the loan was just to pay bills. Defendant had to pay $4,000 a week for three rounds of chemo, adding up to $75,000. Plus, hyperbaric treatments adding to the same amount. The plaintiff’s husband and defendant's wife are siblings, so I call bull on the plaintiff's claims about ignorance of the disease. The plaintiff's husband has worked for the defendant for 15 years, so he had to know about the poor woman's condition. Plaintiff's check was for $9,999.00 to avoid the IRS $10k report amount, part of the money was taken from a settlement for an accident. The bills faced by defendants are horrific, and for plaintiff to deny she knew anything about the treatments for the defendant's wife is appalling. Plaintiffs claim it was a loan, and defendant says he is totally bankrupt. My guess is plaintiffs will never let this go. (My guess is the loan is only a tiny part of the issue the plaintiff has with her sister-in-law, and the brother-in-law). Defendant did manage to pay back $2500. Plaintiffs get $5,000. Second (2016)- In and Out of Jail! -Plaintiff /professional house squatter Rachelle Marvel is suing defendant/former roommate Heather Parent for utilities, rent, credit card charges, and lots of thefts. Plaintiff and defendant met in drug rehab. Plaintiff was constantly violating her probation for DUI, and going back to jail. Plaintiff's house was in foreclosure for non-payment, needed a house sitter, she is still squatting in the house, and moved defendant into her house. Plaintiff is still in the home, and still not paying the mortgage or bills. Defendant was going to pay rent, watch plaintiff's cats, signed a lease for $1k a month, and moved in with her 4 kids. Plaintiff's kids all have iPhone 6, Xbox (the plaintiff's kids live with their father). There is no proof that defendant stole anything, and a lot of people had access to the house. Credit card charges are $60. Squatter plaintiff gets $60. (Plaintiff looks totally wasted). Rescued Mastiff Mischief-Plaintiff /Boxer owner Rhonda and John McGrath suing defendant/Mastiff owner Livada Miller after her Mastiff attacked their Boxer. Defendant's "Smug boyfriend" claims it never happened, because the Mastiff was chained outside. This is the one where "Smug boyfriend" says he was inside watching "a stupid TV show called Judge Judy". Sorry, that statement was not followed by Officer Byrd beating the snot out of the Smug boyfriend with the Fly Swatter of Death. Plaintiffs were walking their Boxer on leash, when their dog was attacked by a Mastiff that plaintiff had for only a month. Plaintiffs saw the other dog was loose, and turned the other way, and the Mastiff charged, hit the Boxer, and her husband went down too. Plaintiff woman started screaming for help, people responded, told her where the dog lived. Plaintiff claims the dog never left their yard, since the dog was back on the chain again (another neighbor took the dog back and chained it up). Defendant claims dog is dead, but plaintiff says it was the second attack, so dog is at animal control, and up for adoption again. I guess animal control where this happened doesn't care about bite history, or someone being injured by the dog. Plaintiffs get $261 for vet bills.

I think the Napa showings were a property Pacaso (strange spelling) owned, and the other two were decoys. With eight owners on each property, I think the scheduling would be a nightmare. I think the Napa stuff was just for publicity for Pacaso, and to get more film for the show. However, I'm always happy to look at expensive houses. I just wish they would stop with the arguing, and storylines. Just show houses.

I'm wondering if Ximena is even allowed to move to the U.S.? Her living with a hitman may be the least of her background issues.

Charlotte, NC. I was totally confused when the kids said they wanted their own rooms at the beginning, and then in the third house the house hunter kept saying the kids needed to share, because none of them liked a single room. I suspect it was sharing to free up a bedroom for her plants. She kept talking about having an entire room for plants, and claimed she wanted to put them everywhere, including on a window high on a stairway. I'm wondering if that was just a storyline? I also was wondering if the extra bedroom was really for a live-in nanny? In that case a bedroom that's first floor level would make sense.

I'm hoping that the locations where they have public screaming and swearing are closed. I can't imagine most people wanting to be within screaming and swearing distance of this crew. Can you imagine being on vacation, and the place you went to eat had something like the family meltdown going on. I bet Tammy's real motivation for refusing to stay in close quarters at the cabin is that she knows the family will want her to actually try to move around, and she expects to be waited on, do her social media postings, and her selfies to communicate with her 'fans'. And judging from the previews for next week, she can party with whoever those guys are, and drink massive amounts of booze. That mason jar of drink looks like antifreeze. Wonder where they found the guys for the hotel party scene? Or is it the rest of the film crew that haven't been on TV yet?

"New Tudor Home in Time for a Newborn" They turned the two car garage into the primary suite, big ensuite, the laundry room, and a huge 'family closet'. Just because the laundry is down there, putting everyone's closet down there seems bizarre to me. This guarantees everyone will have to go up and down stairs to and from the former garage level. It makes no sense to me. The other bedrooms were upstairs. So, when the kids get older, they're supposed to run up and down stairs for their clothes, and things? The outside looked better painted, but I didn't get Tudor from the wood trim, just refreshed ranch. I guess the garage level entrance will replace the front door use?

I live in the Central time zone, so it's 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. My DVR will be recording this. I love seeing the U.K. edition.

I wonder if the thought of wandering bears crossed anyone's mind, when Tammy wanted to stay in the van outside the cabin?

4 p.m. reruns- First (2014)- Karate Camp Neglect? -Plaintiff Nicolle McClintock mother suing defendant /karate instructor Jon Alster for a refund because he left her 5 and 7 year-old sons unsupervised during Karate camp. Defendant admits he left the kids unsupervised while he went to get lunch, he claims for only 15 minutes. Plaintiff wants a refund after she found out about the lack of supervision, and defendant keeps saying there is a no refund policy once camp starts. On the first day the two boys, and 10 other kids, were left alone while defendant went to get lunch. On day two, plaintiff withdrew her sons from the camp, she stopped the childrens' karate lessons, her own karate lessons, and that was a big financial hot for the defendant. During the one-hour lunch break defendant went to a nearby drive thru, children were unsupervised. (This happened in Calabasas, CA) What on Earth was the defendant thinking? ANything could have happened in the amount of time he was gone, including a kid leaving on their own, or someone taking a kid. $470 to plaintiff. I absolutely agree with JJ’s decision, and defendant is lucky he only had a refund to pay. I wonder how his karate business did after this aired? Bad House Sitter?- Plaintiff Sue Ellen and Kevin Mobley suing defendant Andrew Wilson, for wrecking their van, and neglecting their rescue animals while they were on a trip, and allege defendant stole $1,000 from the house. The $1,000 was the amount they were going to pay defendant for house sitting. Defendant denies it was stealing, but just collecting his house sitting fee. Defendant says his girlfriend was in the hospital, and he had to leave. $1,000 for plaintiff. Sister Fight -Plaintiff /sister Shalina Smith. suing defendant/sister Leah Heron for impound fees, and tickets in her name, after plaintiff sold car to defendant for $2,000. Car was in plaintiff’s name and would be changed in the registration month. Plaintiff had to pay the tickets off, impound fees, and other costs after car was impounded while defendant was driving it. There were no tags on the car, so car was impounded. Defendant never registered the car in her name, and tags were gone. Defendant claims car was in her name, but if that was true, then plaintiff wouldn’t have been able to get car out of impound. Plaintiff submits proof of the tickets in her name. Defendant claims car was in her name, and they were her tickets. Defendant is so nasty in court, that Officer Byrd escorts her out of the courtroom. I suspect that JJ is one of the few people that didn’t put up with defendant’s guff. $892 to plaintiff. Title is still in plaintiff’s name, and JJ will do an order saying if defendant doesn’t get car from the mechanic shop in 15 days, that plaintiff can junk the car. Second (2013)- Feuding Divorcees -Plaintiff /ex-wife Teresa Blendin suing defendant/ex-husband, Thomas Blendin for causing her to lose her job. Both were addicts for a long time, and plaintiff works in a drug treatment facility. Both litigants had successful treatment at the drug program. Plaintiff was a transcriptionist, then worked in the medical records section. Plaintiff is suing for punitive damages, of $5,000 for causing her to lose her job. However, defendant is counter suing for $5,000 for the records violation. Plaintiff accessed ex-husband’s treatment records at the facility (HIPPA and privacy act violations, and cause for immediate firing, and possible legal charges). Ex-husband found out from plaintiff that she had accessed his medical treatment records, and she was terminated after the facility found out about the records violation. Defendant says he found out about the record violation, then he started dating another patient at the facility (it’s an intensive out-patient drug treatment program). Defendant says plaintiff told defendant, and the girlfriend that she accessed the girlfriend’s records. Litigant’s daughter is plaintiff witness, was also working at the facility, and was also fired for snooping in records. Plaintiff claims not to know the girlfriend’s identity, then admits she knows the woman’s drug counselor, and other information. (In hall-terview, plaintiff says “He’s the (her ex-husband) only person that I told I looked at his records”. So, she apparently snooped more than once. She’s lucky she was only fired, and her daughter with her. I wonder how many other people’s records were accessed illegally?). (A local medical person in the next town was caught doing this, illegally accessing medical records, and disclosing information, and did it on several occasions, and was fired. The medical facility was also sued by the patient who had their records accessed, and received a large settlement, in the middle six figures). Plaintiff case dismissed. As Baretta said, “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time”. Defendant receives $1500. (I would have given defendant the entire $5,000). Abusive Boyfriend? -Plaintiff/ex-roommate Christa Bates suing defendant/ex-roommate Cheyenne Hoggard for moving out of their joint apartment, and breaking the lease. Defendant says she moved because plaintiff’s boyfriend moved in, he was abusive to plaintiff, did jail time, and defendant says she moved for her own safety. Plaintiff admits boyfriend was abusive. Plaintiff’s boyfriend was arrested for domestic violence at the previous apartment plaintiff stayed at before the apartment shared with defendant, and had a week in drugs detox. A week in drug detox isn’t a program, and I don’t see why plaintiff thinks her boyfriend was sober. Plaintiff did not get a restraining order against boyfriend after the assault, or break up with him. Plaintiff’s boyfriend started visiting plaintiff at the apartment about two weeks after the girls moved in. Defendant filed an ex parte application to get the boyfriend barred. Supposedly, the plaintiff claims the boyfriend wouldn’t come to the apartment. Defendant moved out after three months. Defendant testifies that plaintiff said boyfriend wouldn’t come over to their joint apartment, didn’t know where they lived, and wouldn’t bother them, then came the assault on plaintiff, and the arrest. Boyfriend had outstanding warrants too. Defendant moved out, and in with her boyfriend, and then moved back into her mother’s house. Defendant has to pay for her rent, $700 to plaintiff. Minus $140 of defendant’s security deposit, so plaintiff gets $560. I wouldn’t have made defendant pay a penny to plaintiff. 5 p.m. reruns- First (2017)- Time Share Fiasco-Plaintiff Leslie Faraone suing defendant/her daughter's ex-boyfriend Gage Cate for failing to repay her for a failed time-share vacation. Daughter Ashley wanted to take boyfriend, and use the plaintiff's/parent's time share in Las Vegas, and then the couple broke up. Plaintiff Mom wants the airline ticket for ex paid back. For the time share, they don’t go to Vegas, but use it to exchange their time there for another location, but have to pay booking fees. Defendant said he wanted to go to Florida, and didn't know about the time share in Vegas. (Daughter was adopted at 19, so she never went on vacations to the time shares, or anywhere before this). Then couple broke up, and plaintiff wants time share change fee, and airline ticket. The payments, airline, points, and everything is very confusing. Plaintiff claims defendant should pay for airline, and booking fees. Defendant took out a loan right before this, and it was to consolidate debt, but not for the trip. Plaintiff receives $220. Bad Luck Car Sale-Plaintiff Alfonso Lopez suing defendant/ unlicensed car buyer, Joey Lopez for towing fees, (both litigants are not related, but have the same last name), tickets, and impound fees. Down payment was $800, and defendant should pay $215 a month. Defendant only paid the $800, and additional $100, so car is half paid off. Defendant was driving the car, and three weeks later was pulled over by police. Defendant had no license, and car was impounded. Car was still titled to plaintiff, so only he could get it out of impound. Defendant wanted plaintiff to sign pink slip, so he could get the car registered/titled, and get his license, so he could get the car out of impound. Another issue is there was a 30-day hold on the impound. Plaintiff tried to get the car out of impound, but he couldn't with the 30-day hold, and the $2,000 storage fees for an $1,800 car. The impound lot said they would only release the car earlier than 30 days, if the plaintiff/owner said it was stolen. $3800 to plaintiff. Second (2016)- Grandparents' Rights Now-Plaintiffs John and Victoria Heatley are suing their former attorney/defendant Paul LaValle for fees paid to him to fight for visitation with their grandchildren. Defendant claims that couple never had a marriage, and therefore, the payments from plaintiffs to get the son a divorce was bogus. Plaintiff's son was convicted and sentenced to prison, and they hired the attorney to get visitation with the son's children. Plaintiff's witness is mother of the children, but was never married to father of children (except common law apparently, which is still legal in Texas). Attorney claims the son, claimed to be common law married to plaintiff witness/mother of children, and needed a divorce to get visitation. Plaintiff witness Ms. Karmclaims she didn't appear in divorce court, but attorney claims it there was a divorce hearing with plaintiff's witness testifying. There was a hearing in divorce court, but the son and girlfriend reconciled, so divorce was dismissed. Agreement with attorney says he was hired for divorce of son, not custody hearing. The grandparents had son living with them, before prison, and if they did the divorce, then the son would get visitation, and the grandparents could see the children. Attorney did substantial work for the divorce and custody case. Attorney is counter suing for unpaid fees. Texas has common law marriage, so grandmother is stupid claiming it doesn't exist. There are specific requirements to quality as Common Law in Texas. There were videos of two robberies by the son, and was suspected in a third robbery, and he received two concurrent sentences for robbery, and had a drug problem Dad or stepdad is offended that the son/stepson was called a druggie. Because son of plaintiffs and ex reconciled, the grandparents see the grandchildren regularly Case dismissed. In the Hall-terview, grandparents still don't get that there are no grandparents' rights. The Dating List-Plaintiff Leslie Kortez suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Robert Widlacki for various unpaid loans she made him. He repaid a $500 loan, but not the smaller 'loans' for things such as, dinner out. No expectation of repayment means case dismissed. Case dismissed.

Yes, on the second fund raiser, Chip matched donations for a lot of it, so they do contribute a lot. I can't wait for this week's new Fixer episode.

I'm hoping the restaurant scene was staged, and it wasn't an open restaurant. Can you imagine being at a commercial establishment when Tammy starts her tirade, and then the swearing and fighting was joined in by the others? If any other customers were near, then I would be shocked if anyone stayed after that started.

He also cuts off the hair in return for donations to St. Jude's. The first year he did this, they raised just under $300,, the second year combined with another cancer treatment fund in honor of a friend, and a lot was matched by Chip, St. Jude's received $2 million plus. It's in a good cause. However, I agree that he needs some decent shampoo. I suspect he just uses the same soap that's used for showers, and it's not good.

There was another hoarder named Gary in Colorado, who did have a terminal cancer diagnosis. I'm not sure if he was on Hoarders, or Hoarders: Buried Alive. However, Gary and Roy look very similar, their property is very similar, so they would be easy to confuse the two men.

4 p.m. reruns- First (2014)- Widower Waiter’s Bailout -Plaintiff Minerva Spurlock suing defendant Darrell Abascal for loan for bail that wasn’t repaid. Defendant was on probation for petty theft, for two years. $1060 was the bail amount. Defendant says he was in a romantic relationship with plaintiff from day one. However, plaintiff denies this allegation, says she lives with her fiance and their child, and says defendant was never at her home. Plaintiff claims that she was only trying to help defendant cope with emotional issues, after he was widowed. Defendant lost his wife to MS, the same month plaintiff says she was asked to help him. Defendant claims he had an argument with plaintiff, while they were in bed, and then he got drunk, drove drunk leaving plaintiff’s house at 4 a.m., and was arrested while he was on parole for the theft charge. Plaintiff says she never had a personal relationship with defendant, never argued with him, and JJ doesn’t believe plaintiff’s story. Defendant says he paid plaintiff $460 on the bail. So, he still owes $600. Plaintiff claims defendant owes her $800. Defendant is counter claiming against plaintiff for his late wife’s jewelry. Defendant still claims he lived with plaintiff, and lived with her for months at a time. JJ doesn’t believe the jewelry story defendant told. Plaintiff claims she had to get the police involved to stop delusional defendant from harassing her. $600 to plaintiff. Colliding Bike Boy -Plaintiff Paul Mancini suing defendant/ mother Shawn Maynard (father), and Melina Herrick (mother) for their son Devin Maynard (age 12) hitting plaintiff’s car with his bicycle. Devon was going west, turned left when traffic was stopped, and hit plaintiff’s car (Devin says he T-boned the car, but damages are on the driver’s side of the car). Devin claims plaintiff hit him, but JJ says that Devon hit the center of plaintiff’s driver side. Defendant father calls plaintiff greedy. Plaintiff receives $600. Second (2013)- Honey Delivery Disaster -Plaintiff Konrad Bouffard suing defendant/former honey delivery driver Katharine Dutcher for having two accidents in company car, and taking the car without permission. Defendant drove company car to make honey deliveries. The defendant would meet plaintiff, with the company car, already loaded with honey. Then, defendant bought her own car, and she would meet at the warehouse, and pick up the company car, wrapped in the company advertising. (This happened in Austin, TX). Plaintiff was a 1099, contract employee. A few months later, defendant had one accident while delivering honey while driving the company car, and sometimes she took the company car home. Defendant admits first accident was hitting a tree. Plaintiff says she wasn’t on site she was assigned to when the first accident happened. Defendant doesn’t remember hitting the tree, until after the second accident. Photos of damage from accident #1 with the tree shows the pickup truck bed passenger side is very dented. Second accident was when defendant went to a wine bar, and then to another location, and had the second accident. So, defendant wasn’t on company business for the second accident in a couple of days. The defendant says she only had an hour’s worth of sleep in 36 hours, and was drinking wine. My question is if defendant doesn’t remember a major accident with a tree, was she really driving? Plaintiff withheld a $647 check from defendant. JJ says defendant either hit a tree, or a buffalo. Accident damage is $2293 minus the $647 owed to defendant, $1646 to plaintiff. So, Sue Me, Roomie -Plaintiff Evan Serling suing defendant Gilbert “Petey” Garcia for non-payment of rent and utilities. Plaintiff was renting a house, and defendant rented the bedroom for $750, from plaintiff. Defendant was there for 5 months, and didn’t pay for 3 month’s rent ($2250), and owes $1,000 for his portion of utilities. Defendant says he told plaintiff he lost his job. Then, defendant moved back to his parents’ home. Defendant claims plaintiff told him not to pay, what he said was not to worry about it. JJ can’t take it when defendant says “like” and "basically", “you know” and other filler words, and asks Officer Byrd if she can borrow the Kelly Blue Book to read until defendant finishes his ridiculous statement. Defendant is counter claiming for his TV, and property he left behind at plaintiff’s home. $3250 to plaintiff. 5 p.m. reruns- First (2017)- The Danger of Dog Parks-Plaintiff/Greyhound owner Linda Hagood suing defendant/German Shepherd owner of three GSD dogs, and an old Samoyed, for John Yocum for vet bills resulting from an injury to plaintiff’s Greyhound at a dog park. Plaintiff says defendant's dog bit her dog. Defendant says he thinks injury was from his dog's sharp collar or some other foreign object, and wasn't his fault. Vet report doesn't have a statement, just what procedures they're going to do. Defendant also says Greyhounds have thin skin, and Dr. Google agrees. JJ agrees that dog parks are a free for all, unless you're taking a vicious animal there, and dogs will be dogs. Case dismissed Study Abroad Misfire-Plaintiff Karalin Henderson suing defendant Stephanie Roberts for not paying for a car lease that defendant took over for plaintiff, when plaintiff moved overseas. Defendant was supposed to pay $290 for nine months, but stopped paying half way through the period. Plaintiff raised the contract amount after a few months, because of excess mileage, changing the contract, so that voided the contract. A month or so later, plaintiff notified the leasing company to repossess the car. Defendant is counter claiming for her clothes, her kid's clothes, and other items, and says for a period they were living in the car. Plaintiff bought the car off of the lease, because it was cheaper than paying the overages, and for damages. Car was repossessed by plaintiff from in front of a homeless shelter (that's a first for me). In hall-terview defendant says she was not given notice about the pending repossession, but she's lying. Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed. Friends Don’t Let Friends Borrow Money -Plaintiff Jessica Jolly suing defendant Jennifer Frasier for an unpaid loan. Defendant needed money for a utility deposit, is unemployed, with three children (lives off of her child support, and son's disability checks). As usual, defendant claims it was a gift. Plaintiff took out a cash advance for $500, plus fees. (Defendant's witnesses should have been booted, for their commentary trying to coach the defendant). (Hall-terview with defendant states that she paid the utility deposit with the loan, and her friend's court fees). Plaintiff receives $561. Second (2016)- Escape With the Children-Plaintiff Joseph Kirkland suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Jessica Torres (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Four, aged 4, 3, 7 months, and she has a 9 year old by someone else) for stealing his money, and identity theft. Plaintiff claims defendant is an abusive mother. Defendant says she never married because her parents never married (40 years together, and are very happy), and were fine without marriage. Plaintiff when defendant was pregnant with the youngest child, he claims the father of this child is one of two or three possible fathers, and not his child. Custody case is on-going, plaintiff claims he took the oldest two kids and left, so defendant empties the bank account, and sold his tools. Plaintiff has no proof of the abuse of the kids. Plaintiff claims he gave the defendant $8,000, but she claims she had a settlement, and loaned him the $8,000. Plaintiff case dismissed. Defendant claims the children were kidnapped, but they don't have a custody agreement, so that's dismissed. Defendant also has an older child, not plaintiff's kid. Everything dismissed. Jail Time Between Best Friends-Plaintiff Gregory Barnett suing defendant/former friend and roommate Joseph WIlliams for selling his possessions while he was in jail for a few months, emptied his bank accounts, etc. Plaintiff and boyfriend had a fight, which resulted in all three getting arrested. Defendant claims they were all friends, and that's why he knew the plaintiff's banking information to drain the accounts. (Defendant certainly dressed from the Darth Vader Bling collection today. The gold spike epaulets are spectacularly awful). Plaintiff was in jail for months, and claims the defendant is a thief. Amazing that the plaintiff spent months in jail, bet there's a history there. Plaintiff's clothes were either sold or donated, iPhone was sold to the electronics store. JJ entertains with her instructions in how to spackle wall dents. Defendant keeps making comments to the audience when they laugh at his outrageous comments. $3,000 to plaintiff.

The kid has a good reason, because she's a dinosaur. (joking, but that's what she says). I dislike this one, the ones where you add a ton of shredded cheese to any food and the kids eat, and the Kraft Mac and Cheese one where if the kids refuse to eat, they get a big bowl of this. I guess in the commercial world, the kids are in charge, and the parents do what ever they demand. Now those hideously ridiculous Yoplait ads are back, the ones that celebrate little kids doing ordinary things, and the mother celebrating like they just were awarded a Nobel Prize.

Just like with other remodeling for a specific client show, I suspect the homeowners get a lot more input on the project than the show says. I bet the over-the-top children's rooms are because the homeowner said they want a princess theme room, or whatever theme they want, and a specific budget. I'm guessing some of the homeowners already have the furniture, and bedding and other items they put in the theme rooms. I think in a lot of cases, the homeowners who apply to get on the show, want exactly the aesthetic the hosts use. Personally, I can't imagine buying and living in a Property Brothers house, or a flip done by the Flip or Flop people. Or anything Alison Victoria touched.

Ratings sweeps month in February (they do that in November, February, and May), so I'm guessing we'll get the Catfish, and other juicy episodes next month. Until then, it will be reruns, and boring new episodes. I guess I'll just have to find the Catfish reruns on OWN until the schedule on first run episodes gets better.

I'm so glad everyone is posting about this episode. We had the usual thunderstorm line come through, so I missed a lot of the last hour because I turn everything off during lightning storms. I know they have the reruns later in the week, but since they often show the juicy stuff at the end of the episode, there was a lot I missed. Caleb and Alina simply don't make sense. They have no real connections emotionally, and I suspect they're just on the show for publicity. I feel sorry for Mike, he's going to find out what Ximena said about him, and that will be devastating. Even if she comes to the U.S., will her sons be able to come here right away? And I wouldn't be surprised if she will demand Mike gets a big house, because she'll think she can import the entire family, and he'll support them too. Caleb and Jasmin seem perfect for each other. They both have the same hideous laugh, and seem to be happy with their dynamic.

I love the Pumped About Laurel episode. I love the house, and the remodel. I also love that Shuff's mother was the artist who contributed the lovely art work on his episode, and on this one. I love the way the relocated kitchen turned out. The Walter Anderson print studio has been deluged with orders after the show aired. Realizations, Inc. is the studio name, and the owner says that they usually have a quiet period for sales this time of year, but not this year. https://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/story/news/2022/01/10/mississippi-realizations-ltd-ocean-springs-hgtv-show-hometown/9155378002/ This may be behind their pay wall.

I loved the Fixer Upper Welcome Home first episode. I applaude them for pulling Home Works. I read a couple of articles about that show, and the behavior of the hosts, the time lines, and the massive budget overruns are awful. The shoddy work was expensive to fix, and that's unacceptible. When there are three homeowners coming forward with similar stories, then something is very wrong with that show.
