Hey, it's Canada. You should have seen the prizes on some of our classic game shows. Like "Definition."

Has anyone ever heard a first hand account from a bride on the show? I would love to know the behind the scenes dirt - how far apart are the weddings (what if you weren't available on one of the wedding dates??), how much are they encouraged to bitch and moan, what is the real story on the "surprise" honeymoons....

When I'm bored, and when they don't mumble the last names, I track down the couples and often find their wedding websites. On more than one occasion, the website has said "Susan and Bob will honeymoon in Upper NoWhere" and, when they go on to win, the "surprise" honeymoon is to Upper NoWhere. That would explain how some couples win honeymoons to fabulous and expensive locations like Italy, while others go to generic all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic. Because they have already planned and paid for the honeymoon. Presumably their prize is simply reimbursement of what they already spent? Of course it doesn't explain why the winning bride can't pronounce the name of the destination, as if she has never seen the word before.

Oh, but he didn't really love his family. He didn't know what love was until he had his children. Something I'm sure his parents, siblings, and wife were real happy to hear. He was a real SanctiDaddy.

"How many ways can you pee on a stick?" as Rachel said to Phoebe.

Because the realtors are actors and/or friends of the HHs. Except for the awesome Adrian Leeds of Paris.

Agreed he was a lousy prosecutor, but the fact that people, including you, were left with the understanding this was somehow Zoe's case or Zoe's lawyer, just bolsters my position that Degrassi (and most tv shows) does a horrible job of depicting the legal process. Seriously, people, Street Legal - Youtube it.

That wasn't Zoe's lawyer, or Zoe's case. It was a prosecutor, bringing a criminal case against the defendants on behalf of Her Majesty/the citizenry of the country.

Bianca went to Wilfred Laurier.

Claude was a faux hipster who talked Caitlin into participating in a protest, or spraying graffiti on a polluting factory, or something like that. Then he abandoned her when the police came.

It would absolutely be covered by homeowner's insurance.

I second that emotion, FunGirl. I hate flipflops, largely because of the stupid sound. Although, as a practising attorney, I noticed the open back sandals I am wearing today (boss is out of town so office is casual today) are making that slappity slappity sound. I'm trying not to leave my office too often.

"I don't care if you're a double mom", said in response to every financially irresponsible woman who pleads "But I'm a single mom."

If I hear one more HHInternational say "we want to stay within budget TO WHERE we can afford to travel....", I will... Well I don't know what I'll do, but it's crazy-making. What the Hell kind of grammar is that? The expression you are looking for is "so that" or even "in order to".

See, I understand the Tupperware Roommate Lady. As @MrBigFists recently tweeted, "Just when I think I've finally got my life together I look in the cabinet where I keep my Tupperware."

A divorce agreement is binding only on the parties to the agreement, it has no effect on creditors. The credit card company can continue to pursue the person whose name is on the card, and then that person has to go after the one who was supposed to pay it under the divorce agreement.

Actually, Becky could testify as to what Luke said; hearsay is admissible against the party who said it.

That "trial" was even worse than last week. The "victim impact" statement before the verdict (not to mention standing in front of the bench to do it, rather than sitting in the witness chair), a defence witness undergoing direct examination by the Crown and cross by the defence??? , the judge "presenting" the verdict like he is the narrator of Masterpiece Theater, the convicted being taken away by the sheriffs rather than having a date set to return for sentencing. Plus there would be a publication ban prohibiting identifying the victim, plus the video was excluded on the basis it was seized without a warrant so defence counsel would have objected to Becky testifying to its existence let alone its contents..... Where are the writers from Street Legal when you need them?

But isn't it just called a personal loan? I can go to my bank and apply for a loan, they don't care what it's for as long as I can pay it back. I must check my bank's website to see if they offer Whatever Loans, in addition to mortgages, car loans and personal loans. Maybe I can get a better interest rate!

Yay! Today was the Defendant who took out a Whatever Loan. Did we ever figure out if that was an actual thing? Do banks advertise this???

Sorry, Natasha gets a free pass on any perceived "irrational" reaction in the heat of the moment. And yes, I was yelling "You're a Skanky Hobag" at Carrie through the television.

I think I have loved every episode, and watched each one more than once, with one exception. Kristen Stewart and Chris Rock. What a big dull dud.

Joey Jeremiah. The best character ever, since his first days on Kids of Degrassi. And Caitlin Ryan was the worst character on any incarnation of the show. Although "You were fucking Tessa Campanelli?" is the best line on television, all time, ever.

Somewhat????

I was trying to recall precisely how old the defendants are, thinking perhaps it was Youth Court, which would explain the lack of gowns. But then the presence of the press would be even more unrealistic.
