You mean Shill himself, right? Because he should've just told all these squabblers to siddown and STFU. He had the chance to smack 'em silly but instead he pleaded for the chil-dren, again.

I was seriously surprised to hear Phil say that his expert nutritionists (J.J.?) thought a vegan diet was good for a two year-old. It's better now, but when I grew up in West Virginia the "hollers" were full of children who weren't as smart as they should have been because their diet of beans and corn bread hadn't provided enough protein for thier developing brains. Vitamins from fruits and vegetables are great but surely a little macaroni cheese and a few fish sticks can't hurt. As for the immunization thing -- that's only safe because all the other kids are immunized.

Oh well, I watched Monster for the first time yesterday and today I'm just happy to see people loving their kids.

Was Phil just spewing a lot of crap last week about the four year old hell beast and his possible medical problems that might underlie his behavioral issues? He was talking about fungal overgrowths in the intestine and brain blockages, and it just sounded like a bunch of hooey to me. Then he said he wanted the hell beast boy sent to world-reknowned experts for medical evaluation. This means he is going to send hellboy to his quack friend in Texas, right? The one who is going to have him try to hold onto a bag of Doritos while it is pulled out of his hands, then recommend that he be placed on a diet of blueberries and hardboiled eggs?

Thank you! That relationship reminded me of the one I have with my brother-in-law, who is always overreacting to my annoying habits, and by annoying habits I mean "walking" and " breathing."

Ahhh Gemmadoll, we must be of the same vintage! 40? 41? 42? I had no love for Shaun, Potsie or Donny, but distinctly remember buying a Hardy Boys fan club membership for my friend Josette. And when I was 13, I won a Fonzie watch in a drugstore because I knew the name of the munchkin-in-leather who played him. I gave the watch to our motorcycle-riding school secretary Mrs. Farney, who had by then been dubbed "Farnzie."

I forgive you, even though I spent many nights in my teens wishing only to be miniaturized so that I might live on Shaun Cassidy's lip.

Phil was so easy on the whole in-law crowd it made me want to urp chickpeas. Maybe I should have watched the "Chasing Manilow" episode in order to cleanse my palate. Sometimes you have to set aside all of the DSM, the irregular verbs and the common human pity and tell some people to straighten up and fly right. Tell em they're being assholes. Tell em to knock it off.

If I could do the last twenty years over, I would not have bought piles of books that might help me understand the unique language of my m-i-l's soul, nor would I have sent her flowers, gifts and cards in order to break down the Great Wall of Dry Ice that she lives behind. The first time she wished aloud that I meet an untimely death in a firey traffic crash (true) I would have gone Texas truism myself and let her"call me an SOB but (she'll) have to do it long distance."

Life is too short for petty grudges, but it also too short to put up with gorillas in the gazebo. Phil should have told the parents to go home and enjoy their kids and put the grandparents on a phone-only "time-out" until they learned to act older than the children. Violence--even verbal violence--must be a deal-breaker. For the record, my m-i-l never said exactly why she feels that her greatest happiness would be to see my charred remains under a flaming diesel truck. People like that never do, they just hate for hate's sake, like racists. Phil should cut them off at the knees.

Right. I laughed when Dr. Shill spouted that fungas-in-the-intestines diagnosis.
All that kid needed was to be locked in a room with my grandmother for a first class buttwarming. In years to come, our posterity will laugh at us for lapping up this quackery.

Shill did try asking those two old battleaxes if they could possibly put their differences aside and try to get along. One answered yes, and the other answered (paraphrasing) "Of course I can, but I'm not the one who said 'Get out of my house,' she said that to me, and I never said that to *her.*" In other words, she couldn't get off her high horse even then. She kept those grievances rolling.

If that were my mom and m-i-l, then yeah, their relationship with my kids would be at the end of a phone line.

Big fat word to that.

My thoughts on today's episode. I thought the Barry Manilow kid and his family were a little odd but I kind of liked all 3 of them. I didn't find the dad hate-worthy at all. I think he just really loves his kid and is proud as heck of him. I'd be proud if any of my kids could tickle the ivorys and sing "Weekend in New England" like a pro (well, sort of) at 13 y/o. I'm glad that Ron Dante (the record producer) was so gracious with his praise and offered the good suggestions which both parents seemed to accept. I think the son Barry is most likely a bit of a geek it's obviously in his genes...lol) regardless of his musical talent, but he'll be ok.

Now.....about Madeline's parents. Oh. My. Gawd. They are seriously delusional. I have a real problem with not immunizing for starters. And I'm doubtful that Shill's nutritionist friends really said this little girl at the 5th% is really the healthiest kid on the planet (or somesuch). IMO, a toddler needs more balance in the diet than beans, rice, fruits and veggies. More protein. Some dairy. Lots more calcium. How offensive that they didn't trust their parents to watch Madeline for a few hours here and there! My mom would shoot me and kick my dh in the balls if we ever treated her like that.

And Madeline is getting so much "pure" everything in her life. Purified, mold-free air and filtered water (even in the bath!) that her little immune system is going to be seriously effed up. Don't toddlers need to catch some germs now and then to grow up normally?

I could go on and on and on about this family. They are in for a rude awakening when Madeline and her sibling rebel one day at a Mickey D's or bring home an "average" report card or pick up a good case of hand, foot and mouth disease. Complete nut-jobs they were.

It is easy to overkill on the pure food, pure water, pure thoughts, and yes you better build up your immunity as a kid by getting the colds and viruses that come with the territory. I know parents who have feng shui'd their house and refuse radios and tv for fear of the waves. Also (this is a town of varied populice) I have met the "sugar is evil" crowd at more than one soccer game. You have the right to raise your kid vegan, oil free, no sugar, damn the additives, but how do you watch your kid watch the other kids snarfing hot dogs or pizza or slurpees? If your kid isn't allergic, is it worth the cost?

As for hellish behavior being caused by a medical condition, that scenario was the one that finally drove me and my stupid, quixotic self away from my career in social work. Too many kids from poor homes covered in scars because the parent had to have legal intervention to force allergy testing. "It aint corn. He just needs to act right!" (Stop reading if you're sensitive). I can only remember one death by abuse of a child whose parents refused to believe he was allergic to a laundry list of foods the rest of the family enjoyed. They tried to stop his acting out by hobbling him, literally, with blows to the feet, then beat him for walking "wrong." I know our culture traditionally says you can beat any bad behavior out of a kid and any good behavior in, but it simply isn't true.

And yes, some parents do the all natural stuff as a way to garner attention, just like the loud talkers ("See the BUTTERFLY Meredith? It is a MONARCH!" and the child being addressed is six weeks old in a snugglie. Yes we SEE you. You are a good parent. Now please shut up, this is a library) and the "I'll let my kid ruin your night out so you'll give me sulferous looks because I'm an idiot! I had kids to clusterfuck the world!" As long as they don't yammer at me about DPtet when I'm buying my flaxseed I say more power to you.

Word! It seems to me that the parents have some sort of "contamination" fear- as if their child was born a pure, unadulterated, perfect vessel of health, and by controlling everything she eats, sits on, breaths in, etc, they can continue to keep her in this ideal state. Nonsense! Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Madeline grows up to be mega-fearful of EVERYTHING & develops some anxiety issues about trying new things, situations, etc. *Ahem* speaking from experience!

Manilow Jr's dad really urked me- I felt the hate, big-time. Especially when he told the story about how he told his son's choir teacher (Or whatever) that by enrolling Barry in her class, "she was given a gift she wouldn't be able to comprehend."

How I would love to be a fly on the wall when Madeline's parents finally find an Ivy League preschool worthy of their precious darling, only to have her come home one day with head lice. Head lice does not discriminate--seems like every school, public and private, in my town is dealing with major infestations right now. Can you imagine the reaction these parents would have?

Don't ask me how I know so much about the head lice plague. I don't want to start crying again.

Why can't Shill ever show a normal AP/NFL family?!?

I know it sounds crazy but that fungal overgrowth thing is not just quackery. We had my son tested it for it and it was reccomended by his doctor. (A real doctor in a real clinic and a real test done in a real lab.) Turns out he did not have that problem but it is a real thing. (Not that I'm defending Dr Phil in any way shpae or form.)

The thing is they probably won't ever find such a preschool because they won't be looking for it. These people have home-schooling written all over them. (FYI, I'm fine with home-schooling as long as its balanced with other "normal" parenting.)

What I don't get about attachment parenting is when do you detach? And how? If a child is used to your constantly being there doing everything she wants when she wants it, how would she get used to your not doing that? See next paragraph...

I know some people who seem quite a bit like these people, without the "super kid" aspect: breast feeding when the child was 4 years old, co-sleeping, no immunizations, home-schooling. They now have two children, a three year old and a 10 year old, and the children are almost never out of the presence of at least one of the parents. The 10 year old is a very nice and smart kid, but he's scared to be away from his parents for even a short time (like a half hour with his grandmother; I'm serious). They still all sleep together.

So at least this child seems to be still "attached" at a very advanced age, and that can't be a good thing. I'm not sure how things will go with the three year old, but it doesn't look good.

The idea is that children will become independent when they get older, but there is no need for it when they are small. It is important to pay attention to your children, so they know to trust you and that you will support and be there for them as a parent. Mothering Magazine has some articles explaining it more clearly.

It is very beneficial to get illnesses and colds to build up your immune system, hence not vaccinating. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Also, vaccines go against being vegetarian, vegan, and anti-abortion, as they contain animal ingredients and aborted fetal tissue. Dr.Mercola has an entire list of the toxins and an offer of $25K for any doctor willing to drink a mixture of them. Also, antibiotics and too much sugar can cause an overgrowth of yeast and fungus, leading to yeast infections. (FYI--if you smell fruity when urinating, you're consuming too much sugar.)

Getting dirty is good and using anti-bacterial products are only making more antibiotic-resistant bugs!

As for Barry Manilow, he needs to practice music from other artists and find a qualified voice teacher because his voice was going all over the place and getting pitchy. It's one thing to name him Barry, but I think he's going to be hating his parents for putting in Manilow, especially since most classmates don't know that much about Manilow.

I would recommend that sports Mom read the following: "Manning: A Father, His Sons, and a Football Legacy," by Archie and Peyton Manning.

I didn't mind the Barry Manilow lovers that much. Actually the kid seemed to actually LIKE what he was doing and seemed genuinely happy. Maybe it was just me but it seemed like Shill was harder on the dad because Manilow Dad didn't kiss his ass and say "Your right Dr.Shill I see the light". Shill said that Manilow kid should be in art programs to meet other kids, Manilow Dad said "He is active in community theater"..I could just see Shill getting pissed.

I really really have a burning hate for the parents of the little girl. Ok you try and teach your kid all kinds of educational stuff ever since she popped out of your womb, fine. You don't immunize your kid? Why? You'd rather have your kid get chicken poxs Ok...I had the poxs when I was young and didn't die. I can kinda see not getting your kid immunized. And I'm not 100% sure but I think that when kids go to preschool or kindergarten they have to have proof of immunization? But as a previous poster wrote they have "Home school" written all over them.You kid is a Vegan?! What?! Ok I have NOTHING against vegans but not giving a growing kid any kind of dairy? That's the best way to get calcium in a kid, not to mention that milk has allot of other essential nutrients and vitamins that everybody needs. Not giving the kid any protein either? So what is the kid on all kinds of vitamins or something? Because vitamins have preservatives and other "icky" things that I'm sure they wouldn't want to be putting into there precious gifted child. Not to mention that the dad (not sure about mom) not even being a vegetarian let alone a vegan. Hypocrite. I hope this kid is getting calcium and protein from something else because this could cause growth problems of the body and mind...which leads me too..

Shill said that the kid was in the 5th lowest percentile of weight and height...wow. The mom said it was because the kid was so "Active" but it didn't look like the kid was that active in the clips they showed. I really hope it's not because she isn't getting all the vitamins and nutrients that a growing kid needs. I wonder if the little girl has any playmates her age? It looked like she spent 24/7 with mommy and daddy. *Sigh* I feel so sorry for that little girl.

Also I have known a few vegans and they had to take tons of vitamins/supplements because they weren’t getting enough with what they ate.

As for the Sports parents...hehehe. Arn't they going to be pissed when little bobby decides he wants to be an accountant instead of a basketball player.

What is wrong with these people? Seriously, they are mentally ill. Not immunizing children is abuse IMHO. Do the words infant mortality rate mean anything? The reason we have vaccines is to prevent millions of children from dying. Unimmunized children still die every day all over the world. We live in a society where we are fortunate enough to have access to these life-saving measures. The idea of someone not taking advantage of that is just incomprehensible. Also, I'd rather not get diptheria or rubella. I don't want to die from a disease from Gone With the Wind or a Dickens novel. That's so 19th century.

Thanks be for the internet, where every odd idea can not only find adherents but can morph into truly cult-like hideous behavior. For every parent concerned that a vaccine might better their child's chances of becoming autistic there is another parent who fears the word "diptheria" comes from the name of an ancient pagan god and therefore the shot must be avoided. (Think I'm kidding? Some crazy SOB is advocating the elimination of housecats, once worshipped by Egyptian "pagans. " I don't know why he is siting "historical" evidence which shoots right over his followers' heads. He should just say cattails are made up of aborted fetuses.)

I have spoken to really intelligent people on both sides of the argument who made up their mind using scientific evidence. This, I applaud. Same with homeschooling. Parents who see public schools in their area going to seed and want to sacrifice to provide an "A" level at-home experience, and those who homeschool because they are afraid somebody might say "Darwin" or "San Fransico" or "feminism."

Phil is truly becoming more of a windsock in the way he chooses to confront and other times to pucker up and kiss the butt of whomever he thinks represents his best demographic. Funny how money and power do that to people. Just pay attention to not who is correct, but who is screaming the loudest. He should advise parents that kids are human beings, not hot house flowers. Instead of raising a normal kid, they are trying to make her into a Grimm's fairy tale princess. The Princess and The Microbe.

Oh and if you can build up your kids' immune system by exposing them to anything that is covered by the major vaccinations, then you're at the wrong playground. Also, I consume great amounts of refined sugar because I want my urine to smell fruity. Who the hell wants to smell piss?

I don't normally do this but, BWAH! I needed that this morning.

As far as not vaccinating, doesn't it only work well because most everyone else is vaccinated? It's "good" to get diseases, but not small pox, scarlet fever or polio etc., right? Since most kids in this country are vaccinated against them, you probably won't be exposed to them here. But just the the attitude that vaccination is bad is a little arrogant. There are human services groups that go to other countries where vaccination is not readily available to try to bring it to the people there. You know, to reduce the *infant mortality rate.*

I'm all right with the child's being vegetarian, but no way is that kid's low weight and height from "being so active." Also right on to the person who said that the dad was hypocritical about food. If it's so important that your kid eats this way, why aren't you taking care of yourself in the same manner?

As far as the Barry Manilow People, I don't have any trouble with their encouraging their kid to do music as he does seem to enjoy it. The problem I think is with the father's and the son's ego. No wonder other kids and families don't like these people. Did you hear how the kid described himself? Did you hear how the father spoke to the music teacher? These people's egos are out of control. The good doctor really missed the point with these people. Of course, the Shill's ego is pretty bad too so maybe that 's why he didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

I forgot to mention that I was perplexed when I heard Madeline's mom say she was pregnant with #2- and she was still breastfeeding Madeline! I know lactating isn't a sure form of birth control- I was just weirded out by seeing it!



Gemmadoll, are you a writer for the Daily Show??

Orange soda, spewed all over a keyboard? Not a pretty sight. Hee.

We should tell that guy that the ancient Egyptians worshipped Hathor in the form of a cow. Let's see if he's willing to give up his Mickey D's for the sake of his convictions.

As for poor little Madeline, I wonder if she'll ever be allowed out of the house, to go to parks, museums or the zoo. Hell, anywhere in public. Do you think Madeline's gradmothers are allowed to babysit her in their own homes, with all that unfiltered air and nasty drinking water straight from the tap?

As for the Barry Manilow family, I can recall which musical kids got tormented and which didn't, back when when I was a kid. Kids who had true talent, and whose parents didn't make a huge deal out of it, those kids got along fine. Kids whose egos, and whose parents' egos, were out of control, got a playground beatdown. And by a strange coincidence those were the kids whose parents had them playing cheesy music too, like Lawrence Welk tunes on the family Hammond organ. Or anything on an accordion. Barry Manilow, sheesh. From a 13-year-old. Too bad his parents didn't start little Barry on Cole Porter or Lerner and Lowe; something more classic, anyway.

How sad for you.

I totally agree about the father's ego being the real problem. I actually thought Shill's & the producer's advice that the kid start or join a band was pretty good, but you could just tell that Dad was thinking, "No one else is good enough to perform with my perfect child!" The guy reminded me of Beauty Pageant Mom from a few months ago -- the one whose little girl had won soooo many pageants that they got flaming bags of poop left on their doorstep in retaliation for her utter wonderfulness. There's a big difference between telling your kid that he is special, and telling him that he is better than everyone else. The latter is the vibe I got from Manilow Dad.

Does anyone else think that Kitty might be one of those fashion "suckers?" Bullshit, you haven't heard of Jimmy Choo, Phil! I also like how there is inevitably a Dr. Phil fanatic on his "obsession" shows. That makes three or four of them now...

Phil it is time to retire. Don't worry, I'll go with ya.

Sounds like yesterday's trainwreck was good, but as far as today's goes:

Brad Pitt mom: Lady, get a life. You're an embarrassment to your children. Although he's attractive, he is not God's gift to women. I'd bet the farm that he has his share of infuriating habits just like everyone else in the world. Pay more attention to your kids because by some miracle that has nothing to do with you, you have two good kids.

Jessica Simpson wannabe: Pathetic. I don't feel a bit sorry for her. She spent $20,000 on surgery, and she still throws temper tantrums like a baby? Obviously, the $20,000 was a waste of time. She should have put it aside for her daughter's college fund. Having my child's future secured would make me feel a lot better about myself than getting a boob job. Already, Stacie looked like she's had way too much plastic surgery. She looked fake. I wonder if those were her real "sad eyes." I bet she was hoping Dr. Phil would give her a free nose job. And how could she possibly compare herself to the women who go on The Swan? At least Dr. Phil called her on that one. Ridiculous.

Shopper lady: I liked her. Probably because I saw a hint of myself in her. I don't think she's a sucker like Dr. Phil said. I think she uses material possessions to increase her self-worth, especially considering how little respect teachers get in some circles. I do wonder how she affords a Louis Vuitton on a teacher's salary. I haven't seen a Louis Vuitton that costs less than $800. Where did she find one for $600? Anyway, if she lives in L.A., I can understand her obsession even more. I didn't give a shit about what kind of purse I carried until I moved to L.A.

Wrestling guy: Just grow up and shut up.

Orange-haired suck up: Famewhore alert! She knew she would get to meet Dr. Phil if she presented herself as a Dr. Phil fanatic. Pathetic. I hated Dr. Phil's suggestion for that couple. He should have told them to find an activity or hobby that they could enjoy together--something that doesn't involve wrestling or Phil.

Today's show: Dr. Shill tells people not to be fooled by the vapid shilling of the media? Yeah, I really buy that you think people succumbing to shilling is bad, Shill.

One of these days, one of those Dr. Shill fanatics they let onto the show is going to turn out to be a homicidal maniac. One who knows 45 ways to kill a fat man using common objects found in a TV studio.

Why would anyone want to look exactly like that dumbass Jessica Simpson? There are all kinds of people in the world, I guess.

Yeah, I don't believe Dr. Shill had never heard of Jimmy Choo either. Kitty must own at least one pair.

No, Gemmadoll, you are not evil because you didn't like nursing. I personally know two women who chose not to nurse for the same reasons, and they are great mothers. I, myself, have a medical condition that prevented me from breastfeeding my now 4 1/2 year old daughter-but I still had to take a load of crap from women who believe that bottlefeeding for any reason is tantamount to child abuse.

I must go tell my mother that she shouldn't have given my brother Isomil. She should have been proper and breastfed, regardless of my brother's milk allergy. I mean, so what if he died, at least she would have done things the right way. Oy. It's my personal belief that children grow teeth for a reason. Let them use them. If they're old enough to bite on purpose, they have no business near my boobs. But, hey, that's me.

If you're going to talk about breastfeeding, it needs to relate to the show, and it needs to not be snippy. Several recent posts do not qualify on either count. Topic, please.

I am astounded that this kid din't have stripes on his face from being slammed into the lockers on an hourly basis. Well after the show airs, I'm sure he will. Thanks Asshole Dad and Ferret-Mom.

Can't wait to see the goldiggers tonight. It's 2005 and dayum, there's still goldiggers!

Yesterday's Brad Pitt obsessor reminded me of a joke I heard from a comedian. "I'm sitting at a bar and these girls are taking about how bad they felt that Huey Lewis got married." I looked at them and said, "Yeah, like YOU had a chance."

I was thankful Dr. Shill didn't try to get Brad Pitt to come meet that woman.

OMG, Neon, what a major oversight on Phulofit's part! He'll be banging that moonlit head of his into a concrete wall when he realizes how he blew that one! But, you're oh.so.right.

BTW, Phulofit - Riiiiiiiiiiiiight, you don't know "who you're wearing". Or perhaps you'd prefer us to believe that Robo-Robin hand-crafted your Texas-sized tuxedo? And you'd better check out Robo's side of the closet once in a while, cuz' methinks it will explain some of the clothing bills you're paying - or are you stiffing them like you did the charter airline company?

What's with Shill baiting and switching on show topics lately? First, he deprives us of seeing the brother and sister who got married. Earlier this week I know I saw a very disturbing preview about a teenage boy who may or may not have molested his baby sister, which made me think the parents were fucking nuts for taking this matter up with Shill and Shill was even more nuts cause he at least has paperwork saying he has training for putting them on the show instead of attempting to provide them with real help. To my knowledge, this segment thankfully did not air, but I'm wondering who grew a brain at the last minute or whether it's being saved for a primetime special or a very special sweeps episode.

Word about Shill knowing damn well who Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blanik (sp?) are as I seriously doubt Kitty buys her shoes at Payless!


Bwwwaaahhhh!

The forums were down almost all day yesterday, otherwise I'm SURE someone would have posted a comment about K.T., the scary, scary golddigger on yesterday's show -- the self-proclaimed plastic surgery fan who had turned herself into an enormo-lipped, top-heavy freak. I'm surprised she didn't give me nightmares. Hon, you're getting older, and you can NOT turn back the clock by inflating your lips 'til they're each the size of a jumbo hot dog. I can only hope that she's able to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, 'cause that's the only way she's going to bag a zillionaire at this point in her life.

I have to admit, I kind of liked Charmin, even though I wonder if her momma named her after the bathroom tissue. Sassy!

As for Harmonie, I hope she takes Shill's advice and softens her approach before her looks start to go and she has to try to compensate for gravity's pull by inflating everything in sight. K.T. should scare that girl straight as though she was the Ghost of Golddiggers Future.

Yesterday's show was so very instructive. I hope you all took notes on how to rook a millionaire. It'll only cost you about $5 K and a year or two in a Catch a Millionaire program before you get your Gold Digger's degree.

The poor next-to-the-last woman -- she looked so much prettier before her plastic surgeon put those thousand bees on her lips to puff them up. Because surely no doctor would inject THAT much collagen into that woman's lips.

Siamesecatlady, I saw the ad for the "2 Hour Special! Kid Molests His Sister!" episode yesterday.

I don't know how he does it, y'all. Today, he matches the *whole audience* with their *perfect* partners. He's good y'all. I just don't know how he does it.

Oh wait...he doesn't.

On the Boston networks, this show is being advertised as coming up in about 2 weeks as a special 2-hour showing. Not sure if it's one of his primetime psycho-sessions or if being aired daytime. So, we have not been spared.

Changing topics, there was a fun blurb in yesterday's New York Post "Page Six" column (but couldn't link because the time-sensitive column expired during TWoP's downtime). Fortunately I printed it out, because it's a gem. Under the "Sightings" section of the column appeared "A young North Carolina woman at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas showing off the Dr. Phil autograph he signed on her chest". Oh, the depths to which Phulofit has sunk to fall into this rock star syndrome. What's next, Dr. P - spandex tights and triple-sized sunglasses? Has your previously thinly-veiled disregard for women now bubbled completely to the surface for all the world to see?

Take heart, snarkers...the end is near.

Word! I thought it was just me that did not have an ounce of sympathy for that woman. For the life of me I could not understand why a man would want to be with a woman with self esteem that LOW. I found her to be so freakin' annoying I wanted to throw my remote at her pancake face. Her obsession with Jessica Simpson was sick, and stupid. And to go on national television with it! I wonder if Jessica Simpson watched that episode...what a way to give her ego a boost! Some woman she doesn't even know is so envious of her looks that when she sees her on television she doesn't even want to go outside! I don't know whether she'd be flattered or afraid.

It would have been best for her to accept the fact that she looks like Jennifer Anniston and just fuckin' live with it . There is no way in hell that a plastic surgeon can make her look like Jessica Simpson---unless some crazy psycho doctor cuts off her stupid face and sews a jessica simpson look alike onto her neck. That is the closest that fool will ever get to looking like her.

Yesterday's show just reaffirmed my belief about golddiggers vs. trophy wives: golddiggers aren't good looking enough to luck into a millionaire and play the eye candy role. They have to be cunning and cagey about trapping a rich guy and getting access to his money... theoretically, of course, since none of those women have actually gotten a rich guy yet.

I liked the rejected rich guy, however. His dog was cute.

K.T. was one scary lookin' critter! Wonder how old she is. Can't believe she actually thinks she looks good with those lips - and that hair was nasty lookin', I've seen Halloween wigs at the dollar store that looked better than that mop. And those outfits she was wearing looked like something Peg Bundy would have worn. Class-ay! I'm sure lots of millionaires would want to marry ol' K.T. when they could buy themselves a sweet young thing who didn't need all that plastic surgery - or at least didn't look scary.


I saw it too - maybe I was too disturbed by the concept of Shill and the parents thinking national TV was the place to handle this situation that I originally missed that it was a 2 Hour Special, not just an episode this week.

It absolutely cracked me up that the "seasoned" gold digger had some choice words of wisdom for the young gold diggers -- "Honey, don't be looking at his watch. A man of status isn't gonna be wearing some flashy ass watch on his arm." Ok, that's not exactly what she said, but that's what my brain heard, and she's right. New money, maybe; but old money, no.

Edited to say, siamesecatlady, the ad was confusing. It started with "2-hour show" language, and so I thought it may be one of those horrid Katie Couric/Dr. Shill specials; but later in the ad, I got the impression that it will be a two-hour series, sort of like the FUF series, yet back-to-back. <shrug>

I don't believe this. First, this Perfectmatch.com bullshit that I had to suffer through, Now he's doing the dating game Dr. Phil style. Gee....... What's next? How to make love Dr. Phil style?

How to make a baby the Dr. Phil way?!

How to Fornicate Dr. Phil style?!

Will his stupid son Jay make an appearance relating to these topics?

Will Jay be discussing to teen girls how to make a baby?!

Will Jay be demonstrating to some teen girl on how to lose her virginity?!

Friday's show was a god damn WASTE!!

I have 2 phone numbers that these so-called perfect-matches better remember!!

1-888-45MAURY (paternity tests, lie-detecter tests, & shocking secrets)

1-877-311-2222 (Divorce Court)

Oh, I hope not, Tiramisu.

The *last* thing I want in my brain is how to fornicate Dr. Shill style. I imagine he'd be wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.

"So how's that working for you?" he'd say.

"Well, honey kitten," I'd say (cause you gotta stroke his ego), "it's not."

"D*mned if I'm the one who drove it off in the ditch," he'd say.

And then he'd say, "Foreplay? HUH?" in that dumb voice he reserves for guests he thinks are beyond stupid. "Why would I want to do *that*?"

And even if I said it's because what you get is proportionate to what you give, he'd say, "That dog ain't gone bark for me."

No! No! No more talk about Phil and sex. Those of us with queasy stomachs can't take it!

Wouldn't surprise me if the Gillespie family from "Wife Swap" was recycled to become an example of Phulofit's ideal family: Right-wing bible-reading Conservative Texans, 3 "excellent" children, immaculate home, uber-scheduled lifestyle, etc., etc. I'm betting Phulofit and Robo-Robin have already called them, promising to "do right by y'all".

There's a poll at DrPhil.com:
Have you ever considered swinging with another couple?
The current responses:
Yes 22.7%
No 77.3%
Maybe we should all go over to the site and click "yes" so Shill can know what kind of degenerates are really watching his program...

Oy, the thought of copulating the Shill and BBJ way makes me cross my legs!


Maybe they got that way by following the teachings of Shill. Hell, maybe they used to live nextdoor to Shill and Kitty before they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly!

"...Hills, that is."
