I was worried about her going after Dr. Paradise in that segment too. I'm glad he was standing up, and near the front door. I'm hoping the camera crew would have intervened to help Dr. Paradise too. Did anyone get a total count on Margaret's crying spells? I counted at least eight, but I'm betting I missed some.

4 p.m. reruns- First (2014)- Pawnshop Payback? -Plaintiff Wendy and Rosalio Magdaleno are suing defendant / pawn shop owner Sheila Christiansen for selling jewelry she pawned without giving her a chance to pay it off. They pawned the jewelry for $2100, and have pawned, and redeemed the same jewelry several times. When the defendant doesn't get the money to redeem the jewelry by the due date, the jewelry is either sold or melted for the gold. This happened in Oregon. JJ asks if plaintiff has the $2100 to redeem the jewelry? They answer that they don't. Case will be recalled when the plaintiffs have the $2100 in hand. Then case is recalled, and JJ asks defendant if she has the plaintiffs’ property. Defendant says "Maybe". Items were pawned in 2012, and the plaintiffs had three months to redeem the property. The items expired in the first of March, and the letter was sent by defendant saying that the time would expire in 30 days. The letter was sent to the pawn receipt address, which is right off of husband's driver's license. Husband signed the pawn ticket, with the wrong address on it, but it matched his I.D. The letter to plaintiff Rosario's home address matches his driver's license address. The wife went in and paid the interest twice, in March, and July, 2013. The jewelry finally expired, and went through the grace period on the end of September 2013, and when they finally came in during October, they were told the pawn was forfeited. JJ says since the people have dealt with the pawnshop for so long, and if the jewelry hasn't been melted, then JJ says that pawnshop should let them redeem the jewelry. However, pawnshop owner says she's only willing to return the jewelry, if they pay her for everything they've lost because it expired, including guns, bicycles, and other items. They go in, and pay after it expires. They're going to need more than the $2100 for the jewelry. JJ says to let the people redeem the three tickets only for the jewelry, plus any accumulated interest, and if pawnshop still has the jewelry not melted, then she should call plaintiffs, or the court and say she has the jewelry. Plaintiff will either get nothing, or get a chance to redeem their jewelry. (My guess is if the jewelry wasn't melted before the case, then it certainly was the second the defendant got to a phone). (In the defendant’s place, I would ban the plaintiffs from the pawnshop). Second (2013)- Too Much Vodka -Plaintiff Tyshara Gatling suing defendant Malcom Harris for trashing her belongings during a night of heavy drinking. Both litigants claim the other was very drunk. They bought Peach Ciroc Vodka. Plaintiff claims Malcolm drank half of the huge bottle of vodka, and he admits that. When they went to a club, plaintiff claims defendant was buying more beers with her money, and she left. Plaintiff says defendant was ranting, and when they arrived home plaintiff claims defendant was yelling at her. Plaintiff claims defendant slapped her, and then broke her TV. TV breaking was ignored by other people in the apartment. Plaintiff’s sister testifies about the assault by defendant. Sister claims defendant admitted breaking the TV, and a laptop. Defendant claims drunk plaintiff slapped and punched him. The two litigants are no longer dating. Plaintiff $420. Paternity Test Time -Plaintiff/SSMOO (Sainted Single Mother of One) Kristina Valentine is suing defendant/ex, and possible baby daddy Christopher Graham, over furniture, and three phones. Plaintiff leased the furniture from Aaron’s, and defendant put it in storage. He told plaintiff when he had to close out the storage unit, and plaintiff never picked it up, so it’s gone. As JJ said, why didn’t plaintiff tell Aaron’s where the furniture was, two years ago? Plaintiff didn’t care about the furniture until the collections notice came from Aaron’s. Plaintiff is in the process of requesting a paternity test from the defendant from the family court. Defendant doesn’t pay child support, and plaintiff never took him to court, or requested a paternity test to establish paternity, and never applied to the court to get support. Plaintiff already paid furniture off, and now has no claim. Claim dismissed. 5 p.m. reruns- First (2017)- Don't Fence Me In - Plaintiff Michael Jackson is suing defendants, Ken and Jull Kaufman, for cost to replace fence after he says defendants ruined his fence, and tree trimming. Plaintiff Michael Jackson owns the fence on his property (not a joint fence) between his house, and defendants' yard. He also trimmed overhanging branches from defendants’ tree hanging over his fence line. Defendants piled tires and junk against the fence until the fence broke, when plaintiff wanted replacement costs, the defendants told him to stuff it. Then they piled the junk against their front gate to keep their dogs in, so they still have a yard with lots of trash and tires. Defendants also wanted plaintiff to pay for the branches they trimmed on their property, from plaintiff's tree (dismissed). If someone’s tree is hanging over your property, you have the right to trim the branches, but it’s at your own expense. JJ says since fence is old, defendants don't have to pitch in on fence. I disagree, because if the trash was leaning against the plaintiff’s fence for years, then the defendants did wreck his fence. This fence stuff has been going on for over six years! Too bad no one moved away from the neighbors. Defendant tries to tell the entire history of their disputes with plaintiff, and I side with the plaintiff. Wonder how much wildlife is living in the trashy yard of the defendants? Case dismissed. Sister, I Don't Believe You- Plaintiff/sister Sarah Maher suing defendant/sister Nada Maher for cost to repair her car, defendant counter claim is for payments she made on car. Defendant claims because of bad credit plaintiff either co-signed or registered car in her name, and defendant drove car for two years. Then, plaintiff claims she told defendant she needed the car back, and defendant wrecked the car. JJ thinks both litigants are lying and just here for the money, and I agree. Supposedly plaintiff co-signed, and car was in plaintiff's name, but defendant drove it and made payments for two years. However, defendant didn't have insurance. Plaintiff says after defendant wrecked the car Cases dismissed. JJ told them to go back to where they came from and sue there. Mess or No Mess- Plaintiff Chrystina Walker is suing defendant/ former landlady Geri Zollicoffer for return of security deposit ($200), but wants $5,000. Rent was $650, so she still owes $450 for last month. Landlady wants damages. $450 for defendant, nothing for plaintiff. Second (2016)- T-Boned at a Stop Light- Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Cari Braun, and her mother, Christine Cass, suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ian Rosson for half of a car damage settlement, after he had an accident, and after plaintiff wouldn't put car in his name (defendant paid for the car). As JJ says, sign car to defendant, go to DMV, and they will send him a new title. Defendant was driving, and speeding, blew a stop sign, and t-boned another car. There was no insurance, because defendant stopped paying for insurance, because plaintiff wouldn't put the car in his name. Plaintiff had to pay over $2,000 for car damages, because of the insurance, and title issues. Sadly, the litigants have a kid together, and defendant isn't paying child support either. $2050 was plaintiff's half, but defendant hasn't paid his half yet. Defendant is a total sad sack, just as JJ says. Insurance charge is already in collections. Defendant doesn't want to pay, because plaintiff didn't transfer car to man's name, and he would have had insurance. Plaintiff agreed with insurance company to pay $2050, and defendant would pay $2050, but hasn’t paid. Defendant is paying off the other driver’s damages. If plaintiff had turned the car over to defendant, then this would all be on defendant, and he would still have had insurance. JJ fines plaintiff $500, so court pays plaintiff the remaining $1550. Restrain Me No More- Plaintiff Breanna Anstine and defendant /uncle Jorge ‘George’ Rosas moved in together, and plaintiff is suing for lease breaking fee. Then defendant’s girlfriend, Lenasia Rosas wife, moved in, and plaintiff got a protective order against both defendants. Apartment residents were plaintiff, defendant and wife, plaintiff's boyfriend was there often, and both grandmothers. Uncle moved out after protective order, and niece/plaintiff wants money for uncle abandoning the lease. Apparently, plaintiff and uncle's wife knew each other from high school or something, and don't get along. $500 to plaintiff to repay a car deductible defendant uncle owes plaintiff. Plaintiff wants lost wages, dismissed. Plaintiff moved out of the house already, and the $500 is all she's getting.

Last time I looked, the Live Chat hit 19 pages. I'm wondering if she ever had surgery, but either way I don't put a lot of credence with her face looking different in her later pictures, with filters anyone can look very different. Mother Millie really took her chance to be on camera, and show off all of her assets.

Yes, if DIY/Magnolia is on your TV lineup, it's on regular cable. It was on the Discovery + app, from July until now, with occasional previews on HGTV, or DIY, but now it has replaced DIY. I really enjoyed the before and after on the Welcome Home season 1, episode 1 house last night. However, the house was so filthy, and disgusting that I could imagine exactly how awful it was. Joanna's designs have changed for the better. It was so lovely of the couples' friends and relatives to clear out that disgusting hoarder house.

I don't think Jessica is interested in working at exercise, diet, or anything else. She says she wants the surgery, but she doesn't. Jessica isn't even trying. Amanda and Lashondria (?) are so amazing. That's great that both women lost so much weight, and kept it off.

Amanda must be tall, to weigh 220, and have Dr. Procter so happy with her. Amanda needs to wear tops with more coverage in the boobage area, she looked like she was about to have something blurred out.

I don't care about Margaret or Millie, her mother. They are both sick, codependent, awful people. The awful way they treated Dr. Paradise, and Dr. Now shows exactly how awful they are. After the true story about her mother's 'abandonment' came out, that told me everything I needed to know about both ot them. I'm afraid that Margaret and Millie not putting out full length photos means that there is a follow up episode in the works. I don't care how much weight Margaret loses, she's still going to be a hopeless, mean person who lies about everything. After finding out from the mother that Margaret lied about everything, I'm wondering if anything in the episode was true, except for the parts with Dr. Now, the physical therapists, and Dr. Paradise. My guess is nothing that came out of Margaret's mouth was true.

The previews for next week are horrifying.

It was amazing to see Amanda, compared to what she used to look like. I wondered her cancer issue came out. I don't like Jessica. I'm not thinking this one will keep weight off after surgery, if she ever gets that far. It terrifies me that she was driving with all of her physical problems. And what the hell tiny bangs were on that other woman's head?

I'm sure the crew would be quick to haul Dr. Paradise out of there if either of these harridans went after him. So much for Margaret claiming her mother abandoned her with the abusive dad, now we learn she had a choice and chose to stay behind with him.

No, send them cases of Vicks Vaporub. They can put some under their nose to keep the smell of Margarets coochie from knocking them out. Month 1 752, Month 4 632, Month 5 626, Month 6 595

Mom finally left dad, but took the other sister, and left Margaret behind with the abusive father. Millie (Mom) didn't even say goodbye to Margaret. Dad told Margaret that Millie didn't want her daughter around because she was fat.

I bet Mom Millie is another one who thinks Dr. Now is her dream man, or at least her dream wallet. Dr. Now better do every test in the book on this one before surgery. This woman has horrible surgical risk written all over her. Thank heavens, she's wearing something to cover her lower region this time.

Plot twist is Metro Lift is a crane company, or a Chinook helicopter (the one with two blades that lifts tanks). I'm really disliking Marget the Perennial Victim. I betting she gained a bunch if she ever weighs in. So, Margaret's Mom takes her on Month 4. Why didn't they get a U-Haul truck? Month 1 at hospital 752, down to 685 in two weeks. Month 4 at Dr. Now's 632. And looks the same, even with 120 lb. loss.

That's where they put dad? So Month 3 or 4, skips her appointment. Dr. Now is right, Mom and Margaret both sabotaged this appointment. Why does Dr. Now hate the Physical Therapists to try to make them go to this horrible house?

I'm assuming dead, so there's a possibility of another poem or letter to dead Dad this episode. She's from Baytown, TX. I wonder why PT refuses to come to work with her? The smell? The awful attitude? The mother and Margaret screaming matches?

What is Mom auditioning for? She really seems to have a script, and is auditioning for something. Margaret is 35, and acts 10, and so does Mom.

They are, but think about how you have to treat the camera people to have all of this footage included? She seems to think Dr. Now will save her from herself, and if she doesn't make the effort he can't help her.

Don't worry, I'm sure Margaret will make up for that on the ride home, and after. OK Poeticlicensed, are you happy now? I bet not. The film crew hates these two women, . She was a huge baby, Her dad was 1,000. Mom was a horrible Mom. Dad was awful, but Mom enabled him at the expense of her children. 120 by 6.

Margaret Johnson, 35 years old, 750 lbs., from Houston area (transferred from a hospital that couldn't handle her 750 lbs.) Margaret says she has been immobile for 6 months, cared for by her mother 129 BMI. Says she was abused by father and others. I suspect she'll be a failure. This is sad. Two weeks later, still whining. Month 1 752 lbs., two weeks later 689, down 63 , and her 3 month goal is 100 lbs more. Home health and physical therapy. Mom needs a dentist. Mom had a gastric bypass years ago, with dumping syndrome, and other side effects. Mom wants Margaret to be looking like her, I think I'm going to puke. I can't stand Margaret, and I really can't stand her mother.

4 p.m. reruns- First (2014)- Dog Custody -Plaintiff Stefani Myers suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ryan Silva over custody of a German Shepherd dog (GSD). Former boyfriend/girlfriend decided to get a dog, then they split Defendant is suing for cell phone cancellation fees, and dog expenses. They were together for 5 ½ years, or 2 ½ years, and then got the dog, they split up 3 years later, and defendant has the dog now. Plaintiff wants either the cost put into the dog, or the dog back. Defendant’s $150 to cut plaintiff of the cell phone plan is on defendant. Dog was registered in defendant’s name in 2010. They broke up in 2012. Plaintiff reregistered dog in her name, in 2013. They split custody, until August 2013, and dog has been in defendant’s custody at least 50/50, then only in defendant’s custody. Then, after the final breakup, plaintiff re-registered the dog in her name only. Plaintiff and defendant’s cases dismissed, and dog stays with defendant. Roommate Dispute -Plaintiff Aaran Quincey (pronounced Erin) suing defendant Jeremy Arnold for lease breaking fees, unpaid rent. The two signed a joint lease on a home. Defendant didn’t pay rent, and moved out early. Defendant has a ton of excuses, and all of them are ca-ca. Defendant didn’t pay four months rent, but claims he only failed to pay one month, but sworn statement by plaintiff says he didn’t pay for three months. JJ has to tell defendant witness to sit down, and I am glad I was already sitting down. $1400+ to plaintiff Illegal Driver -Plaintiff Laura Bare suing defendant Matthew Piles for wrecking plaintiff’s truck while on a test drive for sale to defendant. As usual, defendant had no license. Defendant also claims the truck steering wheel was loose, and made him lose control. Plaintiff was going to sell the truck to defendant for $1,000, but plaintiff wants impound fees totaling $5,000. Defendant’s license was suspended for a D.U.I. Defendant keeps swaying and weaving around in court, he’s making me dizzy. Defendant claims it was illegal to impound the vehicle, because he wasn’t the legal owner. Plaintiff couldn’t afford to get truck out of impound. Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant case dismissed. Second (2013)- Angry Tenant Break-In? -Plaintiff/former tenant Noemi Camacho is suing defendants/landlords Pamela Hall and Clinton Golden for return of deposit, and rent back. Plaintiff rented a home from defendants, and house needed repair and would be ready by 1 April. However, plaintiff demanded to move in before remodeling was done, but plaintiff claims house wasn’t livable. Plaintiff signed a document that house would be ready by mid-April, but she demanded to move in by April 6 or 7. Plaintiff admits she signed document about time frame of remodeling. Another twist is plaintiff is on Section 8 for part of the rent, so how can you move in before house passes Section 8 inspection? My understanding is Section 8 inspections must be passed before the tenant can either move into Section 8, or move to another home also under Section 8. Plaintiff gets the rent refund and deposit $900, because property wasn’t finished by the date it was supposed to be. Defendants claim plaintiff damaged house. Plaintiff claims she never moved in, just had her stuff in the house for a week. The back sliding door is shattered, and plaintiff did it. Plaintiff claims locks were changed, and a sheriff’s deputy told her to get in any way she needed to. Defendants deny they changed any locks, Plaintiff’s deposit, minus door costs of $1560 to defendants for door. So, after deducting damages from deposit, $275 to landlords. $4,000 Tuition Scam? -Plaintiff Harland Kayani suing defendant Carl Woolsoncroft, a loan for college tuition. Defendant needed tuition, so plaintiff claims he gave defendant $4,000, and defendant never repaid him. Defendant claims money was a gift, not a loan. Defendant only went to Erie Community College for one term, not a year, and only took 4 credits. However, it turns out when defendant was supposed to be enrolled, he wasn’t. Defendant didn’t use money for school, but instead paid off his car note. Defendant claims in the hall-terview it was a gift, not a loan. Plaintiff receives $3300. 5 p.m. reruns- First (2017)- Renter Hell! -Plaintiff/former landlord Garey Ledin suing defendant/ former tenant Tami Warborg for damages to his rental home. Plaintiff and former partner bought property, plaintiff ended up with it, but former partner was living in the house, and later with defendant. Former partner moved out, and defendant was still living there. After multiple police reports, plaintiff went to his rental property, and found someone living on the property in a trailer, shady characters living there, and trash everywhere. JJ doesn’t like the plaintiff, and I have never understood why landlords came on this show. Plaintiff filed to evict defendant, after a call from a police officer about the nuisance problems with the house, and tenants. Defendant’s daughter lived there, daughter’s boyfriend had a drug problem. Also, defendant had custody of two children from daughter too, but daughter’s boyfriend has the children now. Also, multiple people with drug issues lived in the trailer. The trailer turned out to be stolen property, so it was impounded. Defendant also had multiple vehicles parked all over the property. The house pictures show massive amounts of air brushed walls. The house is totally trashed. Defendant received a stay order, and claims all of the trash was caused by landlord, and people he hired to clean the house up. Plaintiff can’t go to his own house, because of defendant’s friends. (This case infuriates me every time it's on. The owner of the house isn't getting any rent, won't get any damages, and can't get rid of deadbeat tenant, and her druggie friends. I find it interesting that defendant blames the air brush paint on the grandkids, because there is no way they did that.) JJ dismisses everything for plaintiff, because he’s “slippery”. No, JJ wasn’t listening. Plaintiff took interior pictures during the week that defendant was out of the house, then when she moved back in after the stay, he can’t access the house. Defendant is counter claiming for the vehicles that were impounded. However, the list of towed vehicles doesn’t match the vehicles that defendant is claiming for. $5,000 to defendant for her bogus claims, and nothing to plaintiff. Second (2016)- Babysitting Scam?! -Plaintiff/babysitter Stephanie Winningham suing defendant/so-called mother Dawnette Sigmon (SSMOF-Sainted Single Mother of Four) for babysitting fees for her four children. Previously, defendant’s mother was paid $700 to $800 a month for babysitting her grandchildren. By the way, defendant’s new job was at a strip club. Defendant was on a probationary period at the strip club, and state should have paid the plaintiff’s fees. Grandmother was paid $700 to $800 by the state for her monthly babysitting fees. Plaintiff says defendant was paying her $150 a week for the babysitting. Plaintiff had a previous CPS issue, so defendant put paperwork in plaintiff’s sister’s name on the paperwork to get the state to pay the babysitting fees. Plaintiff receives $1200. Father and Son Drama -Plaintiff /father Ray Thomas suing defendant /son Jeffrey Thomas and son’t girlfriend Brandi McGill for not paying rent on a home plaintiff owns. Plaintiff bought house 32 years ago, and when he moved out, son and girlfriend were renting house. House had $30,000 profit, but had to pay a line of credit, and only netted $3,000 on the house. Why did plaintiff agree to come on this show? JJ is going to screw him over. Defendant lost his job, and stopped paying the mortgage payment. Just because plaintiff refinanced the house, it doesn’t mean he’s not entitled to mortgage / rent from son. Case dismissed.

I looked at the Magnolia schedule for a few days ahead. The Fixer Upper Welcome Home episode 1 runs tonight (8 p.m. Central), and reruns a bunch of times for the next week. During the day it's pretty much the old DIY remodeling shows. Some shows moved to HGTV. So, it will be interesting to see what new seasons of shows are on the Magnolia lineup. The fixer designs seems different, more current and less rustic than they used to be.

Jeff is always remodeling, selling and moving on to the next house, so I doubt he's ever leaving L.A.

Just look at the Windy City Rehab thread on here, and you'll know all about her, and her design choices.

The Drag Show event looked like fun to go to.
