I bet since there was a property manager, that the owner didn't get the tenant herself, but took the apparently lousy screening the property management company did.
For example, I was in a rental house for three months, the company had a lot of rules, and did all appropriate background checks, and credit checks, and took pictures before move-in, and when we did the walk through when I moved back to my house. They were very good, and had a great reputation.
There was a house across the street, and down a couple of houses that they same company handled, the owner wanted over market price for it, so it had been empty for at least nine months. After I moved back to my house I noticed that the house was rented, and to a lady who had a dog rescue decal on her back car window. The property manager told me at my walk through that the lady wasn't doing rescue, and had a limit on the number of dogs she could have in the house. The tenant lied, she was still running her phony rescue, had at least 10 dogs, and the dogs were barking constantly, and escaping, and I'm surprised none of them were run over. The property manager was told by several people, including me, about the massive number of dogs, and that she was running a business out of the house, but did nothing.
Even a good property manager can sometimes give in to the temptation to rent a property when it's been empty for a while, and shirk the background check to get the long distance owner happy about having the bills paid. The end of the story is someone (bet you can guess who) called the business license man at City Hall, explained what was going on, and he confirmed no business license, or zoning, and he went down there that day with animal control. She was about to leave anyway, and got rid of the dogs, probably selling them for what she paid for them, and that was nothing. The house owners put it on the market, after they got the move out report, and had to fix a lot of damages over the security deposit. It was all because the property manager didn't do her job, and a bad tenant took advantage of that, and because the owner lived far away and would never see the house.

I think Tina lost a lot of weight in a hurry, and that leads to the drawn, much older look she has now. I'm pretty sure that last year with the alumni session at the dance studio, Tina weighed more.

The HGTV reno shows have a big gotcha connected. Any discount on the materials or labor, or the designer are charged against the homeowner's income tax. So if you get hugely discounted, or excess flooring, you might pay a relatively low price, but with the free labor, designer fees, etc. your income tax statement would be for full retail prices as if you bought it in the store, or hired the designers or workers, and it's straight income. I'm sure some of the reno shows homeowners have to pay many thousands in taxes.
I know the Lottery winners have already bought or decided what they're doing, but I still enjoy seeing the local properties. I imagine the couple in Tallahassee probably went on the new home tour, or looked at other properties, and then decided what to put in their home on the lot they bought. And what was David thinking when he raved about that scummy pond on the second house? It screamed snakes, and alligators to me, and I can't believe he didn't think of that in Florida. I'm betting a lot more lottery winners are buying property and building, and I bet the producers weren't picking those people before. If I ever won a lot in the lottery, I wouldn't be publicizing it on TV, and having everyone who wants money hitting me up for gifts. I do like that many of the lottery winners are buying really nice, but affordable properties, since I'm sure many of them take the annuity, and then get maximum amount.
I wonder if any of the lottery winners, or even regular house hunter participants, ever see a decoy house, and wish they had bought it instead? I think that's a reason that some of the chosen houses underwhelm me, and you wonder what the buyers were thinking about choosing the house they buy.

My guess is the shenanigans with the episode summaries being switched was so CMT can guarantee more viewers next week. They said calendar reveal was for next week, and it was this week, and Cameos were announced as this week, and they're next week. I think the producers realized that the longer the cuts take to happen, the more viewers, so they gaslighted all of us. This may be the last year for me to watch this, because I want to watch a show about tryouts, training camp, and a team forming, not a bunch of drawn out, soap opera stories focusing on some, and ignoring strong performers who will be an asset to the team, and have personal stories that are interesting.

I think it was Cleveland, but I'm not positive. I felt so sorry for the owner, she tried to fix the house, made it liveable, and that woman and her brats trashed it. I'm glad she got the $5,000, but it's going to cost at least a $1,000 to get rid of the bed bugs, and other vermin. Only specialists handle the bed bug issues, and it's not an easy fix. I hope grandma realizes that since her daughter had bed bugs, that everything they brought into her house was infested too. I wonder if grandma's neighbors knew about the pest ridden daughter, and her destructive kids were moving in with grandma, and bringing their little buggy friends too?
If someone actually paid attention to where the trashed rental house was located, please correct me if I got it wrong, or confirm it if I got it right. Thanks.
Monday's rerun episode is supposed to be the thieving grandson who stole thousands in cash from dead grandpa's safe, and shared with his friend, and mom believed they earned it mowing lawns. I guess coming on the show is the only money grandma will ever get back, and I'm sure it's only one of the thieving grandson's future thefts.

Unfortunately, if the grandparents either died, or sold out, and someone rented the place out, or someone who didn't care about the property, it could get trashed very quickly. Some of the worst former tenants on the judge shows haven't lived in the rental very long.
I know someone who seemed like a sweet little old lady (but I knew better), and rented a house for 10 years or so. Since the owners had a ton of rental properties, and many tenants were students, they didn't inspect her house, because of the turnover in other tenants, etc. Then, Lulu (not even close to her real name) died, and her poor daughter had to clean the house out. Everything went to the dump, and took many truck loads. Then when the daughter turned the keys back, the owner and property managers walked through, and were appalled. They had to gut the place, rebuild it, and sold it.

Kem's family was pretty well off too, apparently. I think when she found out how rich Carter's family was she wanted the money to finance her AIDS clinic, not a clinic in Chicago. And no one will ever convince me that she wasn't boinking the 'friend' in Paris.
They are showing the episode where Carter goes to Paris because Kem's mother is sick. I just watched that scene at the hospital when he arrives where Kem is stunned he's there, and she asks Carter if he's been dating, and is shocked when he says no. That's when she admits the man with her is an old boyfriend, and later Kem's mother tells Carter that he needs to fight for her. He was such a fool when it comes to Kem.

I agree about the sendoffs, and think the Benton character would have told the judge the truth, that the current job and schedule would keep limiting his time with his son, and saying he would get a 9 to 5 job with regular hours at the suburban center, and wouldn't lie in court.
I think Blizzard from the early years is my favorite episode. The one where it's a blizzard, no patients, and Greene and Lewis put a cast on Carter's leg when he's asleep. Then there's a big accident, and Carter can't get the cast off, and the biker patient who has had many casts over the years grabs the cast saw, and removes it for him while Carter's screaming in fear (he didn't hurt Carter at all), while saying "It won't hurt a bit Doc".
It's also the one where Bob the clerical lady saves the aneurysm patient by clamping his AAA, and it turns out she's a vascular surgeon in Poland, and needs to pass her boards to practice in the U.S. She's a character that should have stayed on the show, and her journey back to practicing would have been interesting.

I'm not sure, but I think the plaintiff owned the house in Cleveland, and then had a job transfer to Florida. However, they didn't say where grandma lives, and I'm wondering if the daughter and kids are supposed to be living with her? I'm guessing there are property managers all over the country trying to find out where grandma lives, and if the daughter, and grandkids moved in with her illegally, and how fast they can get them off their property.

Someone like Jinelle could have worked with Taylor for a few hours on issues to be aware of, how to cope with public appearances, and other issues and she would have been ready to be on DCC. Instead, they had Jinelle wasting time with VK, and getting ignored, and lied to, and thrown under the bus.

The one thing that amazes me is how James K. is always ending up in ICU, not expected to make it, and he ends up surviving. I'm surprised the death toll hasn't been higher, considering the horrible toll that 600 lbs + takes on a body's respiratory, and circulatory system.
-
Dale Carnegie, or Toastmasters could be very helpful for people like Taylor, since it would give her confidence, and teach her how to research topics for speeches. I know people that found it very useful to do both of these, and say it really helped them.
However, know-it-alls like VK don't take any correction or criticisms so she wouldn't last at Dale Carnegie or Toastmasters.

Someone could have helped Taylor T with her news issues, and that could have given her more confidence for appearances. She could have started with the topics media day covered. She had the dance, the looks, and the personality, but needed some coaching, and that's a shame.

This is revolting. Idiot plaintiff leaves her dogs in her poorly fenced back yard for hours, neighbor's pit bulls kill one of the tiny dogs in the p.'s yard, or in the d.'s yard, and dog got tossed back. Of course the d.'s pit that killed the little dog had a litter of puppies, so I guess they breed them constantly. The dogs were in p.'s yard 9 months before, but fortunately the p.'s dogs weren't out at the time. The defendant, and her lying stupid cousin are trying to claim the little dogs dug into the p.'s yard, and then the pits killed one of the tiny dogs, and no one can figure out where this happened? The p. brought the ashes with her. It looks like a joint fence to me, but the plaintiff keeps saying it wasn't her responsibility to fix the fence. Another idiot dog owner.
The d.'s say their dog wouldn't fit through, but I could easily fit through the hole in the fence, and it wouldn't even be difficult, and I'm not small. I hate the defendant, and the plaintiff, and think they're all garbage animal owners. What do you want to bet the plaintiff still lets her dog out in the yard alone? I bet the fence still isn't fixed either. JJ tells plaintiff she's an irresponsible owner, and that's certainly true. D. has to pay the vet bills, and cremation. JJ also told d. to fix the fence, like that will ever happen. D. was 'fostering' the dogs, but who 'fosters' two or more dogs for at least a year? She claims they were her son's dog, but having his dogs is not fostering. She also claims they have been 'rehomed', and I'm assuming that means to the son's breeding kennel where she's still popping out puppies for profit. D. wasn't even supposed to have dogs according to the lease, and renter's insurance certainly didn't cover them.
I wish JJ could get the little surviving dog a new home. P. gets $2450 for vet bills, dog cost, and cremation. I hate both sides in this case.
Rerun-This is the loony mom who moved into the rental house room with her son who was starting college. It may be an oldie, but I deserve this one after watching the previous idiots.
Mother either lived on couches, or in son's room until they got evicted after three months. Landlord/defendant says mommy gave son booze too, and he's 20. How weird, son has bright pink hair, and it clashes with his Golden Girls Dorothy collection patterned flowered tunic top. Landlord rents five rooms to college students, UC Berkeley. There's one bed in son's room, and mom slept on mattress they brought with them from home. When the son says the mom and the landlord hit it off, and said that's why mom stayed, I thought the landlord was going to wet his pants. Rent was 1300 a month for one room!
Landlord says mom put desk by front door, to 'monitor' things, and son and mom argued constantly. Other tenants were creeped out by the weirdo mom's residence. Dad came with son and mom, and Dad left the next day to go to Shanghai, and Mom never left. The defendants claim Dad never left the country, and I don't see why they keep worry about it, unless Daddy isn't a resident yet, and might not be able to leave and return, or something similar? Landlord says mom and son destroyed kitchen, and son's room, Landlord offered her extra room for a few days at first, but she didn't do that, and wanted to stay on son's floor. The loony plaintiffs want hotel costs, security deposit, illegal eviction, and stolen property. The room pictures after they moved out are horrible, and there are a bunch of pictures of empty booze bottles. Even the plaintiff's pictures are awful, and full of garbage in the room, and they left under the supervision of the police.
Plaintiff gets nothing.
Next rerun-woman rented house to defendant after she bought cheap and renovated, and claims the defendant trashed it. D. claims no damage, but don't they all? Defendant is blaming everything on the kids, I guess supervising kids, and teaching them how to behave is old fashioned. The property manager calls the plaintiff, and tells her to come and look at the house. There are pictures of crayon writing on the walls, and ceilings, but defendant says she supervised the kid. That must be a super tall eight year old, she wrote on the ceiling, the blinds were trashed by the kid, and the wall crayon pictures aren't even the same colors, and obviously done over time.
What a liar! She's blaming a little kid for everything. Property manager and contractor took pictures and did estimates of damages, including the kitchen cabinets that look like they used a flame thrower on the doors. The place also had bed bugs, roaches, and mice, and needs heavy duty pest treatment.
The landlord/plaintiff gets $5,000, and I added this to my list of reasons I will never be a landlord. The funny thing is bad tenant, and her unsupervised hellions moved in with grandma, and she looks stunned at the damage, and claims this doesn't happen in her house, and I'm not believing that either.

In my personal opinion, I bet Mrs. Plaintiff spends her time monitoring the neighborhood for possible poisonings, alien invasions, and someone like the neighbor remarrying, and she's probably doing it while chain smoking, and having an endless cocktail hour too right in the front window. I haven't heard a voice like that since they stopped showing old movies on TV, with those hard living ladies with gravel voices.
I think the defendant did say something about her smoking.

I'm ticked, but I'm not sure who I'm ticked at. Last night's episode said cameos, and other things that are next week's episode, and the calendar cover reveal was this week, not next week like the description says. Except they had the media training on the right week. I hate incompetence, and unless CMT swapped a lot of things between episodes, it's really strange that they aren't more accurate, unless they switched around to make us watch next week for the cuts.
I bet VK's cameo shot will show her from the shoulders up, and not full length, unless they are going to tie VK and Tara's cuts to the lard in the cameo pictures.
I wonder if the group leader initials are for the candidates they want in their group?

Not exactly, but they all blur together for me too.
Karina is the one that lives in Texas, and her sister hates her guts, because Karina deliberately gained weight to get attention when her mother worked to jobs to pay bills. And she's the one that lived in her parent's living room, claimed to have broken her leg and it still bothered her, and wouldn't get out of the wheelchair even after she lost some weight, and Dr. Now's x-rays showed nothing was wrong with her leg. She ordered Domino's pizza for herself, and in spite of a stomach balloon (done in Mexico) ate two medium pepperoni and sausage pizzas, a full order of wings, and a giant box of brownie desserts.
Ashley R. lost a lot of weight, then she and her quiet little husband decided to move back to California, and she went from 400 back to 500 very quickly. She was tall, so the 400 pounds looked smaller, and she was very mobile. Ashley was also very mobile, drove the car (her husband didn't drive), and moved very well.
Both of them had longer brown hair, and looked very similar, but Karina was shorter.

OK, so this week was the Lisa rerun, complete with a memorial statement at the end. Next week, at least according to my cable guide is Robert. How depressing.

If the plaintiffs wanted to let the cats outdoors, they do make fence attachments that keep the cat in their yard, and they showed them on the Jackson Galaxy show. However, I sincerely doubt the plaintiffs would do that, because they're the type of people who enjoy their animals irritating others. Also, when your cat roams, who says a puncture mark isn't from wandering and running into something else? A wandering animal can run into all kinds of hazards on other people's property.

I'm sure that anyone who has appeared on this show, and their multitudes of relatives must watch this show regularly, but they still assume they'll be different, and will have the magic surgery the day they hit Houston, will be instantly thin, and will be able to eat anything they want through the entire process.
Next week is supposed to be Robert, and I'm skipping that one, since Lisa was depressing enough..

Also, most of the larger boobies have bizarre, unreadable huge titty tats on them, and I find that ugly, especially when gravity takes it course over the years.
There are also cat perches that have a cat bed, and attach to the glass for looking out the windows in comfort.

Another tow case where the idiot p. thought he was special, and didn't have to follow the rules.
How does anyone like the trailer woman ever get someone to work for them? Another person that wants a lot for nothing.

Some places animal control doesn't handle livestock, and that's what horses are considered. Livestock complaints might be handled by the Sheriff's office, the state Veterinarian, and might not be handled at all since the horse had food, water, and shelter. I feel sorry for the horse, and think the barn owner did everything she could. If the horse owner cared about the animal, she wouldn't have dumped it, stopped paying, and refused to talk, email, or text the barn owner.

I do like that they rerun a few episodes each week, from the previous week, but I wish they still had the Wednesday reruns on the Lifetime Movie network too.
I'm not sure, but didn't Daniels and Gabriel actually date for a while before he told Brenda, at the diner with the French Toast, and the dismembered body in the dumpster?
Columbine-I lived about 50 miles from there, and the actual plan wasn't publicized until a long time after the attack, so I can see that LAPD, not SWAT or anything else involving hostage or school shootings wouldn't know about the real aim of the attack, and how it failed. I don't remember how long it was before the analysis of the attack came out, but it was a decent interval.
Poor Babs, too bad she got no respect from Brenda, until she needed her. However, the first bomb they found, with Sanchez carrying her out, followed by Brenda going back for her purse, and saying "Help, Me!", and getting carried out by the bomb tech was funny. My question is on the roof, do they really say Good Luck to each other? That seemed out of the blue, and awkward. They never showed what Flynn, and the others did to get the propane bombs away, so I guess they just got them out of the line of fire from the shooter, and the shooter's plan was for him to detonate them by shooting the canisters?
