"Horses Cosbying each other" might be the funniest thing I've ever read on this board, and I'm absolutely going to find a way to work that into my conversation tonight when I'm out with my girlfriends. It'll go something like, "Did y'all see that Judge Judy case about horses Cosbying each other?" And, sorry 27 bored, but like a JJ litigant with her child's social security number, I'm stealing all the credit.

Don't blame that shit on us! None of us who had complaints about Matt asked for him to be replaced by a jackass! We wanted someone likeable.I couldn't root for the cat lady either after her horrible RFK answer*. I liked Michael a lot but knew he'd be a victim of the giant killer curse. *My autocorrect tried to change RFK to Arafat. Wtf? I can't figure out how that happened.

Don't be a neigh-sayer.

We missed a chance to see Douglas pound the disrespectful plaintiff to a pulp! Did you hear MM shout at him not to touch her bailiff? I would have loved it if Douglas had knocked him out. What an ass he was. He finds some sucker to rent his old van for $9,000 and then sues to get a new car out of the deal? The defendant was really stupid to agree to the deal but, to his credit, he followed the terms and paid every month as agreed. I think the plaintiff had more of an incentive to burn the car. He may not have had full coverage on it, but it gave him a chance to sue for damages and possibly get a new car. I don't see any motive the defendant had for torching the car; he'd made the rental payments and was all set to return it the next day.

You all have never met me in person (to my knowledge), but I was wondering if one or several of you could send me some money. Now, I don't have a job or any prospects for one, so I have no means with which to pay you back, but we've conversed on this forum for a while now. I'd just really like to have some money, and I'd really like it if you sent it to me. You can trust me when I say I am attractive, and the picture on my profile wasn't taken ten years and 60 less pounds ago. I might be able to help you out later when my tax return comes, if the IRS doesn't take it because I haven't paid back any of my student loans from that online university I attended for six years but didn't graduate from. If the refund doesn't come through, I'll take out a title loan on my car. Oh, don't worry about me having to pay the loan company back before I pay you back; I'll just sell the car on Craigslist and not disclose the lien to the buyer. What's that? You think it's time we finally meet in person? Well, that would be fine with me. I do have a pit bull, but he wouldn't hurt another living creature, except for my neighbor's cat that he ate last week in front of eight cameras. It wasn't my fault; he got out of the gate. I'm attaching a picture of him laying next to my infant. See? He's harmless. The baby? Oh, I forgot to tell you I have a child. The father and I aren't speaking anymore. Why? Well, basically, I am not sure who the father is. I've narrowed it down to three guys. You know, I do like to party. It's the guy whose name is tattooed on my chest, the one whose name is tattooed on my neck, or the one whose name is tattooed on my back just above my ass. You can see the third one when I bend over and expose my whale tail. If you've read all of this and decided that you'd just love to rain some money on me, you might be a JJ litigant. Send me a PM, and I'll give you my Paypal account information. If you've read all of this and, in your head, corrected the word "converse" to the non-word "conversate," you watch too much damn JJ. Fortunately for you, there's a support group for us. We meet here every day.

I got Run to You but was surprised it was a lower-valued clue, unless I'm not remembering the board correctly. I knew it because of my love for 80s music and that Bryan Adams CD but don't remember it being a huge hit song.I got Ai from doing crossword puzzles, and I wasn't sure how to pronounce it, either. I learned something from the show. I had no idea they made a movie about The A Team. I must have been living in a cave when it came out. I guessed Taken, but I knew it was wrong based on the clue. Taken is just my Pavlovian response to a Liam Neeson clue. I was also surprised they accepted pressure and was expecting a correction to come that never did. Kudos to Matt for admitting his mistake.

I guessed Space Needle immediately but then also wondered if it had a roof. I came around on my opinion about Matt after watching some of his contestant interviews. He also seemed to tone down the antics that made me I initially think he was a bad sport. I won't go so far as to say I'm sad to see him lose, but I can see myself missing him when we have a game in which the three contestants stare blankly at the board. Matt seemed off his game so I wasn't surprised when he lost. Getting the last answer correct to take the lead before final seemed good for him at the time, but it made him have to wager a lot more than the new champ did. I liked the Compound Words category but thought it was too easy. I think word categories are my second favorite, behind sports categories. I'm looking forward to seeing Matt in the TOC. He really has a great knowledge base, and it will be fun to see him compete against other strong contestants. Tomorrow we'll find out if Michael will be a one-day champ, like so many giant killers are.

I get what you're saying, but it's never been my understanding that the doctrine is: clean hands, or at least cleaner hands than the other person. I've always thought that if you're culpable in the bad act, then you can't collect. I could be wrong, though.

I didn't understand the ruling in that case at all. They're both scamming. Neither of them has clean hands, so how could the mother recover any money?

I certainly have gaps in my knowledge base, but I can't remember the last time all three contestants got an answer that I had never even heard of. Hell, I was the only person I know who got Liederkranz when Stefan (one of my favorite champs) was on the show! I had to look up Bayeux Tapestry, too. Matt started his cat story with, "So..." and I couldn't help but chuckle. There's a poster here who despises when people do that, so it was funny to me. You guys are with me even when I'm not reading this board.

I wouldn't have criticized the plaintiff's daughter for living with her had the plaintiff not been such a freaking hypocrite about it. Sure, lots of people have to move home during hard times, but maybe granny should spend some of the "tons" of money she claims she spends on clothes toward helping her daughter get her own place. It's so important to her that the kids have nice, ironed clothing for school. I bet the kids would like it more if they had their own house and didn't have to live with that control freak, who I'm sure never misses an opportunity to criticize their daddy. Someone who works, shares custody, and maintains his own place is in no way a deadbeat. We watch JJ; we know what deadbeat dads are. Granny probably thinks he should be paying child support or alimony or something. If custody is 50/50, there's no reason he should. JJ was right; she needs to stay out of it. The arrangement seems to working for the exes, so why is she being a shit-stirrer?

We had a sad cas today. A woman and her daughter are murdered by the woman's boyfriend. The deceased woman's ex sues for the balance owed on the sale of a horse. Bakman is his usual charming self, implying that the father will abscond with the money if it's awarded. The nasty defendants decide that now is as good a time as any to throw shade on the deceased and her ex husband while the surviving child is standing right there. Just vile. I did a little digging and found a news story written shortly after the murders. So freaking sad. http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/crime_courts/2014/03/16/palm-springs-murder-suicide-suspected-shooter-had-gun-shop-job/6483895/

I had a first-world problem today; my stupid DVR taped the early rerun but didn't catch the new episode that ran aired hours later. I know it sounds whiney and petulant, but I really hate coming home from work to find out my DVR failed me again. I missed someone saying "fecal" position, too. Damn, damn, damn (channeling Anthony Anderson channeling Esther Rolle.)

Granny seemed like a control freak. JJ was right; there's a simple solution. Stop spending money on clothes for kids who aren't responsible enough to take care of them. I doubt the father, who doesn't seem at all like a deadbeat to me, was denying them the ability to take their clothes with them when they left his house. His ex is living with her mother and not paying rent, but he's the deadbeat? Okay. I'll tell you when I started taking care of my clothes; it was when I got a job as a teenager and started buying them myself. It's amazing how much more people care about things when they have paid for them. It's the same reason we see cases in which tenants have destroyed a rental property. Not all tenants do it, but we see a lot cases like that on JJ.

Where can I get me some of that? I know he's unemployed and can't drive a car without crashing, but that man is irresistible!

I don't have a Twitter account, so I can't view it. I think I'm better off not being able to do so!

Student loan debt is almost impossible to discharge. If I were dating someone who was dodging Sallie Mae, we wouldn't be dating for long.

Yonnette? Good grief.

The litigants in the tale of nine cats case were all ear-achingly shrill. OMG. Who in the world would voluntarily listen to them have any sort of conversation? I kept screaming shut up at my television, until I realized I could just fast forward through it. I didn't even care how it ended. Next! Then MM apparently opened up her confessional booth, wherein two litigants confessed to crimes. Did they mistake her judicial robe for a pastoral one? Wtf is wrong with people? One idiot proudly declares she knew she couldn't lock out a tenant but did it anyway. I missed it; had he not sued for treble damages? He certainly should have. If you have that many rules for your home maybe you shouldn't turn it into a damn YMCA. Then we have the genius defendant in the car crash case who needs to go upside her son's fool head. If you can't enunciate a sentence, maybe you shouldn't have access to a car. I can't stand that disinterested mumbling talk. It drives me nuts. However, I liked him basically telling Curt to fuck off, because I do so mentally many times myself. Was there someone in the hallway with a sniper rifle trained on him or something? Why were his eyes darting around? He does music, right? I'm sure that's his dream. Mine is to write the next great American novel. But until Harper Collins starts returning my messages, I have to work a regular job to take care of business. It's called being an adult. Mama should make her baby try it out. The neck tattoos might make it hard for him to get hired, though. I remember my dad almost killing my brother when he got an earring. This one has done something much more stupid, and permanent. Mama is going to be cleaning up his messes for a long time.

When they showed the picture of her stove with all the grease stains, I could only think that she really doesn't need to be frying her food. I'm not fat-shaming either, I'm speaking from experience. I've gotten myself down almost to my high school weight simply by changing my eating habits. If the plaintiff doesn't change hers, she's not going to be around very long to provide for her child. Regarding the case itself, I despise when litigants who haven't paid their rent indignantly say that the landlord knew their situation. Just because you tell your landlord you're going through financial difficulty doesn't mean they lose their right to rent. Is he supposed to pay his mortgage with her sob story? And she was suing him? Why? I'm glad he won his counterclaim.

MM is definitely tired of this shit. I can't imagine her telling someone they have a small brain even a year ago! I agree with her, but it was surprising to hear her say that. Like her, I am also tired of people claiming they gave money to a lover because they have a big heart. You want to be charitable? Donate to a charity. The defendant who made the comment about a lesbian not needing an engagement ring has apparently missed the news. I guess she's been too busy bailing her asshole fiancé out of the slammer. I loved the way MM quickly put her in her place. I don't think the ring was fake; I think they pawned it. Maybe to the pawn shop in the other case?

Is there a limit to how soon you have to report credit card fraud? If there is, there shouldn't be. A lot of people wouldn't know immediately. My guess is that the CC companies required a police report and mama wasn't going to have her daughter locked up. What was crazier was that the son seemed to get exactly what JJ was saying, until she let him speak. Then he sounded as clueless as the mother. I'm not buying it. JJ did that thing she does that drives me crazy in the second case. Just because someone did something in a way she wouldn't have done it, she dismissed the case. The defendant admitted in the hallterview that he got the cash. But JJ didn't even bother to ask him that during the trial. I have little sympathy for the plaintiff because she did something really stupid, but that doesn't mean she's not entitled to her money back.

That was my take on it too. Mallissa didn't have a veracity problem. I knew that once she admitted to hooking up with some random on FB. But JJ hates women who drink. (To the person who asked, I never heard or Four Locos either.) And JJ definitely had an issue with promiscuity. We have often seen JJ decide what she thinks happened absent of evidence. That's why she asks questions instead of just letting litigants tell their stories. It's supposed to lead her to the truth. But all that goes out the water when she dislikes a litigant.I think it's dangerous to do what Malissa did, but she should have been compensated for her phone. Like you said. She reported it immediately. JJ often dismisses cases because the plaintiff didn't file a police report. Malissa files one and JJ still doesn't believe her. I'm not a fan of slut shaming either. The defendant did the same thing the plaintiff did, minus the alcohol. So JJ should have had the same disdain for him and she had for her. By the way, I wouldn't even consider having sex with someone who's drunk unless I were drunk too. When. I'm sober, drunk people are gross. He must have been desperate to get his willy wet.

Of course he didn't. She's a woman. Jeopardy has already told us what we want in the category, "What Women Want." Apparently, we want clothes, tea, and a vacuum cleaner. With all that on our minds, we don't have time to be smart like Ken.

What struck me most about the case was MM revealing that her father had passed away recently. I know she's mentioned him over the years and was proud of his background in construction and how long he'd been alive. If she's mentioned his passing before, I missed it. The litigant crying about her dying husband, MM getting choked up about her father, and my father's recent series of strokes made me all kinds of emotional. I've thought MM was a little snippier lately with litigants and that she was getting to JJ levels of just being over it all, but her revelation about her father may explain it better. I know my tolerance for BS is much lower now that my focus is on taking care of my dad and realizing he's not going to be here forever.
