The NJ people who wanted an income unit were all kinds of loony. They bought the second house with the attic apartment, right? I'm betting they will never redo the apartment, because it didn't look like they had an emergency egress staircase. As we hear all of the time on HH, every bedroom needs to have two routes of egress, and I didn't see any other outside doors that might have lead to another staircase inside, or to an emergency stairs out back. I bet the apartment wasn't legal, and I'm wondering if the local building codes enforcement people were watching? I hope they were, because that apartment could be a death trap if they have a fire. I hate the house hunters in the new episode, and it's barely started. She wants a colonial or Victorian, or other east coast style in Phoenix? She's out of her mind. She's not the first house hunter that hated Spanish style houses in Phoenix, but she may be in the running for most irritating. And she needs a room for her couponing? I love how she keeps saying places 'aren't her style', I guess her style would be a warehouse to store her stuff. I wonder if anyone mentioned scorpions to her? Maybe a scorpion will make an appearance and I can watch her screaming and running back to where ever she moved from. I had to laugh when I heard the amenities for the town house, and I don't think they realize that playing basketball in an uncovered court for about six months of the year will not be pleasant. It looks like they were shopping in the cooler months, so summer might be one heck of a big shock. Also, the AC bill in summer for those two story house and town house could be hideous. I knew she was going to get the new build, and add a ton of upgrades, and I'm betting they lied about the price they actually paid, or else exaggerated the price of the model. Of course, maybe the builders give them a super deal in return for the publicity of being on "House Hunters, coupon edition" I wonder if they think that supplementing the soil, and the huge water bill for their proposed garden in the back yard will save them a penny. I bet it won't, and I'm sure she'll plant things that will die in the heat.

It broke my heart when Malena said she would give up a great job with a future, whether at SMU or other schools, to dance on the sidelines wearing dental floss. I'm hoping whatever happens with her, that it all works out in the end for her career, and life.

The defendant in the squatters case reminds me of Darryl Hannah, the mermaid actress from Splash, but really looks more like her great grandmother after a hard life. I think one reason the debit cards have such large holds, is that some businesses pay employees using them, so they might be a prepaid, with no money left on them. I don't know if the prepaid cards have anything indicating that on the card or when they charge against it.

Shep has a sense of humor. If I saw that correctly it looked like he literally took him down, and kept him down by biting him in the butt. I bet when the perp got to jail, after a long stop at the emergency room, that his new roommates in jail enjoyed hearing about what Shep did to him. I love Shep, and Lor, and Flex.

The poor defendant certainly picked the wrong roommate, and she needs another hair dresser. I want a video of the fight over the missing items. How does someone who has a 9 year old, can't get their own apartment, and apparently buys tons of weed, and still buys super expensive face cream? Her ex definitely had his own key, and stayed there a lot, and sounds like a lovely person for a jerk. The woman over the defendant's left shoulder certainly had the world's biggest pout today. It's not nice to say this, but in the ran stop sign, with no insurance case, what planet was the defense witness from? I can't believe Byrd didn't literally kick him out of the courtroom. The plaintiff in the initials in car case certainly has some unfortunate appearance issues going on. I bet the handyman won't be getting nice online referrals about his work, since he seems to have anger issues with dissatisfied clients. How does someone spend almost $500 on minibar stuff, and for smoking in the room on someone else's credit card? I love the defense, "I was passed out drunk", so I guess she was smoking and raiding the minibar while unconscious? No one takes debit cards for car rental, or to guarantee hotel charges, and I bet the defendant knew that.

I still can't believe Erica expected her brother, and probably his family to beach the boat that paid the bills, and move to Houston with her for a year. Isn't she the one that kept her apartment in CA, the entire time she was in Houston? Just remember, that Erica's followup also included Jimmy, the recently bereaved ex-fiance of some poor woman, and who moves in two seconds after they meet again after all of these years. You'll never want to hear the name Jimmy again. I hate when the poundticipants find some hook up, especially a long-lost one, because it usually is followed by "I can make my own plan", and rapidly expanding waist lines.

Personally, I think Blake was too gaga to do in Bonnie, and I bet he thought he could pay her off and she would leave him the baby, and then disappear, I think it was just a matter of finding her price. Bonnie's daughter's raving about her mother was just to build her case that Blake should pay her a lot to heal her "loss". I think a lot of people could have found Bonnie, and established a routine, and their favorite restaurant with a little sleuthing. Stars, even older ones like Blake are easy to find on websites, and since he lived there so long, I'm guessing that his address was very publicly known. Bonnie scammed and extorted so many people that I'm sure there were tons of men, and their relatives that would have loved kill her. I think the two stuntmen (they were stuntmen?) that testified were just looking to get out of trouble, and have their moment of fame again. I don't think Blake was mentally capable of planning and executing a hit like that, and anyone he hired would have ratted him out later. I bet that the killer is one of the many victims, or one of their relatives, and I'm sure that there are hundreds who are possible suspects. From reports I read, some of her extortion victims were financially ruined by her, and she wouldn't let anyone off the hook. A funny story, years ago a lady I knew had a friend who lived in LA, in a fancy neighborhood. The house next door was very nice, and they constantly had a gardener working. Cars kept driving by and taking pictures of the house, and some even asked the gardener if Robert Blake lived there, and the gardener said he had moved. The neighbor found out later that the 'gardener' was Blake, and that between seasons of Beretta (spelling?), he liked to keep busy with gardening, and other jobs around the house. People didn't recognize him dressed in work clothes.

The producers are making up for the boring cases Monday and Tuesday. Yippee! Is there a time tunnel from Haight Ashbury (spelling?) to Judge Judy's courtroom? What a couple of losers they were. I bet his family is so sick of that loser, and now his girlfriend showing up at their door every time they get evicted. I love how he was supposed to buy a relative's trailer, squatted there for 17 months, and then got the boot when he never paid a cent. What was on that woman's head, a poodle? Shampoo is cheap, she should get some. I love Judge Judy saying to get rid of their left behind junk. Not paying for two months makes them professional squatters right? Stolen frozen meat, future Slim Jims-My mother could be locked in a room, have only Slim Jim sticks to eat, and she would starve ( however, she'll eat pork roll, don't google it, that stuff is too disgusting to know what it is). Some people never eat beef sticks, because they're worried about the interesting ingredients I guess. I once saw beef lips as an ingredient on a package of a beef stick, so I'm not fond of them either. What on this earth would someone do with 700 lbs of summer sausage, and beef sticks if they can't resell them? And if they had no where to store it? He wasn't even dealing with the original owner after August, what a loon he is. I wonder if the relatives he gave used meat to survived? I think that someone needs to go to Slim Jim rehab. I love the halterview by plaintiff (who had nowhere to store the meat), "If I knew they were getting rid of it I would have picked it up", and stored it where? I have a vision of him picking it up, throwing it in the back of his pickup truck, and having flocks of vultures following him. Did anyone else notice the lady sitting behind the plaintiffs right shoulder who either was sound asleep, and occasionally would wake up and grin and laugh? Evicted after 19 days? Is that a record? Plaintiff certainly looks like a potential bunny boiler, doesn't she. This woman is exactly why I would never have a roommate from Craigslist. I wish I could get the body cam video of the police rooting her out of her room and the police dog going after her. I love a good police dog biting video, with appropriate screaming and crying by the perp. Did the judge just say 'pissed off'? Cause something got blipped. So the homeowner stole her Pink Floyd album, pushed her, then the landlord called the police, and had her evicted by the police, chewed on by a police puppy, and landlord got a restraining order, or the loon got the restraining order, and they had to stay five feet apart, then the police showed up because she violated the order? I don't know which way it was, but that woman scares me. Wow, what a loon she is, and can't remember if she took her meds that day or not. And she violated her restraining order, and she got arrested again with her dog in the car. Poor dog disappeared, and I guess went to animal control, so I hope it has a nice owner now. And she was in jail for five months for missing a couple of court dates for trespassing on other property, so that's trying to be a squatter I guess? Doesn't five months in jail for missing a couple of court dates seem a lot? There's probably a lot more behind that, and my pathetic googling skills didn't find any other crimes online. Kind of forgot to mention that stay in jail didn't she. Too bad the defendant, his wife, the kid, and the long term roommate had to leave, but ending up with many squad cars is not good for property values. If her current landlord is watching, I bet they're crying right now. After her trespassing arrest, I wonder if her current landlord knows she's living in their property? I guess that will teach property managers to check references with previous landlords, and do better background checks. I feel sorry for her poor husband who is now at her mercy.

I'm so happy for Beth and Charles. It's amazing that the Pols wore the same clothes to their vow renewal that they were married in.

The former tenant certainly attracted a lot of trouble, didn't she? I wonder what door kicker was looking for, and why so many people wanted into her mailbox, and to threaten her? My guess that she wasn't as innocent as she claimed. I'm betting she had a really good idea who broke in, and wonder if she really is in a nicer place now? I think the six month rental is because of the temporary, no background check rentals. They don't attract the best residents (I lived in a week-to-week furnished rental for almost two months, and it was seriously interesting), and all kinds of wild and crazy things happen there. Sidewalk tree crusher from yesterday-I bet plaintiff's wife didn't come on the show was because she did notice something going wrong with the tree people, and didn't want to admit it. There is also no reason for the tree people to be there that long for branches that were hanging over the p.'s property, they should have taken the branches down first, ground them, and then gone to the d.'s property to do his part. I'm guessing that they were dragging branches to the p.'s property, because it was harder to get them out of the neighbor's yard, but plaintiff's yard was unfenced.

I live really close to the Florida and Georgia border, in fact I can go south about 10 miles, and buy lotto tickets (they let people drink here, but not indulge in the evils of gambling), and Georgia is about 30 minutes. I'm also on high ground too, so if it ever floods here, we're all going to have to start treading water, and building arks. The tropical storm (hopefully not a Cat. 1 hurricane) is nailing Pascagoula Miss, and hitting around Biloxi. It's going north west after, so I'm hoping that we don't get weather bulletins during JJ tomorrow, and ruin my evening. I'm hoping for a really trashy case tomorrow, because all of these nicely dressed people with most of their teeth, and no visible tats is not good enough. They have plenty of wild and wacky candidates for this show around here, and they have their own freaky wigs, and trashy clothes, so maybe they should send someone from the show to start trolling for litigants.

Ashley (Lili) is the third sister, married to Nick (unless I screwed that up again. Dale and Crystal (Kiki). I think they said something about Dale and Crystal's house is on the same street, or really close to the Busbys. Nick and Ashley have a new house too (they said that a few episodes ago, this season), so I'm wondering if they moved close too. The yelling about Hazel's possible eye surgery was over the top. That was totally out of line, and is going to be very embarrassing when the kids grow up and see this. Parker escaping is not cute. They need to put slide locks on the outside doors, way too high for the girls to get to. I'm just glad it wasn't the front door, with traffic going by, and I'm glad they don't have a pool, or that could easily have been a tragic outcome.

I'm getting very irritated with HGTV renaming shows, but it's the same show they had before, like Music City Flippers (or whatever it's called) are the same people that were Masters of Flip. Rename it all you want to, but I'm still not watching it.

You mean rigor mortis stew? I bet they're saving the really gory, bizarre litigants for November sweeps (I think sweeps are November, February, and May). The week is young, so there's hope for some nutso trash to show up still.

Almost missed everything, because of a tornado warning a hundred miles away. Everyone was wearing actual clothes that covered everything! I was shocked. Pit bull/Husky puppies. What an idiot. And why would the plaintiff want a pit bull/husky cross puppy? I can't imagine a worse cross, both high energy, and some aggression on both sides of that breeding too. The defendant could afford rent on a house, and couldn't get her dog five year old spayed? P. sues for puppy from this cross, and also admits D. and P. had no contract. What a snooze that was. Handyman didn't paint house-Just as boring as it sounds. Bad contract, clueless defendant, and no money paid to defendant, and deposit returned. Black mold in apartment-The most notable thing is the defendants both coordinated their outfits, she had a red jacket, black dress, and he had a black suit with a red tie. Just two more whiny losers who want to move out of an apartment, not pay the rent, and stick the other roommates with it. The apartment complex actually moved everyone out to a hotel to remediate the mold when it was discovered, and the defendants couldn't move back because girl defendant is such a delicate flower. Of course, plaintiffs were stuck when the defendants took most of the furniture with them, and wanted furniture rent. The plaintiffs got the 1/2 month rent, but not furniture rent. It was obvious that the two love bird defendants wanted to be together, alone, and wanted to stiff the others on the rent. The two women with the young defendant getting a car with a loan from the plaintiff (older woman), and defendant actually paid $300 to the plaintiff, so it was a loan and she knew it. Defendant lost, and blamed everything on the fact the plaintiff was older, and that made it a gift. Not even a good try by the defendant. Four rather boring cases overall.

I'm hoping this season resolves story lines quicker, because I'm not sure I want to have characters rehashing the same arguments forever. That's one reason I love watching the older season reruns, they have so many episodes a day that the story lines that take an entire season on the first run are resolved in a few days. And I get to see my favorite episode, with Bailey having her baby.

I can't believe on the rerun where the woman had a flat tire , managed to ruin the rim on at least one, and then has the car back for four days, and then goes on the highway, and the tire eventually comes off, got a penny. There is no way that that happened after four days of her driving highway speeds, and you know she was, and if it was that poorly installed it would have come off the first day. SInce he was still working on the original rim, I'm wondering if it happened on the temporary spare instead of the new tire. I'm guessing her relative/witness was slow to get up and talk was because she didn't want to be caught lying on TV. Judge M. certainly seems to like to give away the production company money to some of these losers without much in the way of proof.

Those huge hair bows are very popular, and some kids have entire wardrobes of matching dresses and bows. I bet that's another sponsor, like the kids matching clothes, and a lot of others things that get shown. I can see why Danielle spends so much time at the cycling studio. With her executive management background she's a great choice to keep everything running smoothly, and making sure clients are happy.

The ones where they keep talking about how many people it can sleep, and are totally fixed that the bathroom number has to equal the bedrooms, and keep talking about how much the annual rent is, like the Panama City episode, makes me think the house is for investment only, and they'll only be there for the filming, and never again. There used to be very tight restrictions on using investment property by the owner, and their family, I think then it was two weeks a year or something like that, and I don't know what the current rules are. They only wanted the toilet closet, because upscale rentals have it, and that's also why they went trendy on redecorating in my opinion. They painted the walls white because they're easiest to repaint, because with a rental you have to do that every few years, especially with the big groups that would rent a house like that at the beach. I bet every sofa was a pull out bed too, to sleep more people. And the toilet closet is so more people can share the master bedroom, and bath, also for rental. I still hated her toilet closet whining. I wish they would be honest and say they're only buying as an investment. I bet the realtor's company does property management too.

Where I used to live the local Fox channel carried JJ, and the evening new/repeats were cancelled a few times for breaking news (such as rain, in Alabama), and sometimes they would play the new episode in the middle of the night, but sometimes they would bump the new ones a day or so, so there my episodes were always a day or so behind the online Judge Judy website schedule.

I bet Marshall's on camera visit had something to do with the opening of the branch of their salon at the Star in Frisco. I think Marshall works most of the time at another branch, but I'm sure having him there with the other stylist was connected to the opening of the salon for extra publicity which I'm sure is part of the deal with DCC in return for all of the free services. Of course, as others said I'm sure they've always done the in studio consultations, and then the day of the makeovers Kelli and Marshall were discussing what they already agreed on for the ladies.

Kayne Gillaspie had a reality show for a while, and it was producing pageant gowns for the state and national pageants for adult women on the big name circuits. I liked it and it was interesting to see the entire creative process, and how you have to hide creations from competitors. He and Joshua McKinley, who met doing the PR All Stars season in 2012 do a line of evening dresses, and shoes that are still marketed around the country. He does a lot of the Nashville crowd dresses for red carpet. I'm glad he's doing so well, he seemed like a really nice person. http://johnathankayne.com/info/about-johnathan-kayne-designer/ He goes by Johnathan Kayne now, and is based in Nashville.

I looked at the website for Sift, and the chocolate croissants looks delicious. I'm glad he won, but I loved the others the show too.

Laura's husband died of cancer in 2012 (I think 2012), and a few years later she took up archery on the tournament circuit. I didn't know she was originally an architect also. Here's an article that's a few years old about her: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/brandi-megan-mantha/from-project-runway-to-archery-fame-laura-bennett-shelton_b_7521456.html I forgot how much I loved this season until I saw the reruns today. I still can't stand Jeffrey.

Remember Bettie Jo (of the telescopic detection of her neck tumor that wasn't a tumor) quit the program for about two years, and then came back and was on the Where Are They Now with Susan. So quitting isn't always forever on this show. However, I think Schenee's post show fad diets (some kind of tea) and whatever else she's doing might be a problem with her ever coming back to a real program.
