Well aren't you guys a breath of fresh air!!??!!

I only rarely watch Dr. Phil (Dr. Shill -- what a perfect name) but for some reason I have in the last couple of weeks.

I was so incensed over that 19-year old sexual predator show I registered on the Dr. Shill website so i could post. Do you know they have someone who reads the posts and decides if they will be posted or not? He's a Bushite so that sort of censorship makes perfect sense.

All the time I should have been here ranting with you guys.

I said how cheap and dishonest DP is and how he only did the show for ratings, that if he'd actually wanted to help, he would've helped off the air. I also mentioned how I'd always considered DP a bit of a snake oil salesman.

Sons-o'-bitches didn't post my posting!!! And I didn't even mention his creepy foetal alcohol syndrome eyes?

Am so glad you all hate his hideous wife too. I feel as if I've come home. Thank you all.

(I, too, am afraid Lisa knows more than she's saying. I live in Kansas City so i've known about this case for sometime. I didn't know anything about Lisa but don't hold out much hope for the children. People are such monsters.)

In yesterday's first story, I totally hated gastric bypass Wife more than I hated the husband. I think she totally had an affair with her now-husband, and I think she moved the kids across the country to start a new life and erase any trace of the old husband. Kids don't start calling their stepfather "Daddy" on their own. And if her mother wants to see the kids, why doesn't she fly to California? Her daughter decided to move there. I thought defying a court order and basically stealing your kids was against the law.

As for the second story, the "friend" Lisa (I think that was her name) is a drama-whore. She wants the attention. She's like those women who marry convicted serial killers in prison. She totally knows where those kids are, and she's feeding off the other woman's pain. She seemed like she was having a really good time during her interview.

The exwife was court ordered not to move and did so anyway. The courts are there, let them do their job. The father shouldn't have to pick up and move each time the mother decides to pick up & move. Not to mention that there are job, home, factors that play into those decisions.

I'm not buying that the father was abusive or that their fighting was completely one sided. I think it was a convenient excuse for the wife to do whatever the hell she wants.

Did Lisa say she's never asked that guy where the kids were, or has she asked and he's just never answered? I can't remember what she said.

She supposedly asked him numerous times but he didn't respond. If you believe her story, that is.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the smirking really got on my nerves. How is this woman smiling while the mother next to her is basically watching her life fall apart?

Yeah, the smirk really got to me. "I'm a private person" and "They didn't ask" are such bullshit excuses, and she seemed so proud of herself for jerking that poor mother around. Lisa said something outrageous (I forget what) that made the mother snap her head in Lisa's direction. She gave her this venomous look, and I thought she was going to lunge across the chair and strangle Lisa. Which would have made me cheer because that bitch needed a total smackdown.

I really don't hold out a lot of hope for those kids being alive.

That dad is sitting in jail on a Kidnapping charge and I can't believe he wasn't offered some opportunity to make a deal for a lesser sentence if he would just give information on the whereabouts of the kids. That question is going to come up every time he is up for parole, too. Yet he sits in jail. The only reason he would do that is if giving up what happened to them would only make his situation worse.

Lisa was just a total sociopath.

I tuned in late and I also actually thought she was the guy's mother. I was thinking, if she was his mother it makes sense that he would turn out to be the kind of person who would do something like that.

Lisa seemed to enjoy emotionally abusing that mother on national television. That "I have to be asked the question worded in just the proper way in order to get me to tell what I know" bit was just unbelievable. Along with the little smile on her face.

I watched part of the precious couples' bootcamp because I missed Philip. More importantly, I missed Bob Eubanks. I think it is darling that--thirty progressive years after the snickering premise of The Newlywed Game--our Phil could revive the whole base affair, asking couples what their beloved's worst fault was? (She farts loudly and blames the priest) or the adorable sex questions so dear to the days of girdles and brown paper packaged contraceptives (Where is the most outrageous place you have ever made whoopie? Um, your wife's shower, Dr Phil).

Is there NO ONE on his staff who can buy him a cup of coffee and say to him as Lorne Michaels did with Belushi,"No more, dude. You're imploding on us man. No more bootcamps, retreats, Robin's tour of douchebags and shows where people who should be in shackles go to Bali instead! I'm not going to let you end up feeding lines to Geraldo. I'm just not..."

Funny, I thought today's bootcamp pretty innocuous next to the other shows he's done recently.

Except.....except, where he faced professional-girl and told her she was too "edgy". Be Work Woman at Work. Be guuurrly wifette at home. And all will be happy fluffy kittens with hubby. After all, you're marrying a Football Coach. Love that anvil-like subtlety.

Phil probably thought Marabel Morgan was strident.

Dr. Phil is having an update on Mikai and his family this Wed., the 9th.

So we will have an update on Mikai on Wednesday?!! Good.

Here is what I hope would happen:

Mikai gets death threats.

He keeps molesting his younger sister.

Mikai gets beaten up really bad & has to go to the hospital.

Mikai goes to jail.

His family will throw him out of the house & disowned this bastard.

This so-called helping Mikai by Dr. Phil has failure written all over it!!

Good. I can't imagine what will be exposed this time. I'm hoping that the father is proven to have some sort of responsiblity. I don't trust him and thought something was very strange about him. The least thing I want to have happened is that CPS came in and took ALL the kids out of that home. Those parents have forfeited their right to have children if they can't protect them from each other, period.

Has anyone heard any updates about Dr. Shill's Fucked Up Families 1 & 2?

I was thinking the same thing today. I think FUF 1&2 are so FU that there is no hope for them and Dr. Shill can't spin or edit them enough to make it look like he has helped them.

So Dr. Shrill can now just nod and look sad that the FU Families are prone to being healed thanks to the magic power of Speaking the Stupidly Obvious? Oh darn, I guess they're just going to be exploited.

I hate that I have to watch this show, but if I don't I can't enjoy the snark so much. I am interested in updateing Mikai the molester. The winner of couples boot camp should take a few bucks frrom her winnings a get a new hairdo, that was one odd looking do.

lmwilker, there was a FUF update at the beginning of the season. Shill pronounced them all cured and sent them on their way. I suspect we'll never see them again, since they've probably just gotten more FU in the interim.

This sounds like it could be the best episode ever (currently listed in the "Be On The Show" section of drphil.com):

Sounds just like a Springer episode...

Any woman doing this that has an ounce of a brain, self-respect, & dignity would NOT go on Dr. Shill. God, this schmuck thinks he's Jesus or something. What a bastard!!

Look, he offered me first class acommodations, a BlackBerry, and his strongest assurance that my Vegas Strip street-walking avocation would be "tastefully handled." I just couldn't refuse. (There was even talk of an early morning muffin basket! Ting!)

Word, Gemmadoll.

Exactly how much background verification can Dr. Shill's producers do? Most, it not all, of the Springer guests are phonies and posers. The more sensational Dr. Shill gets, the more he's exposing himself to fakers.

I don't know about Springer Fakes, but we do know someone who faked a MauryTrauma for a trip to the BigApple.


I totally think it would be worth eternal public humiliation for a chance to meet Dr. Phil, and get that basket in the A.M. Totally!

Oprah had a phony pair slip by her as well. A shriveled impotent and his therapeutic sexual surrogate. Come to find out they were actors, pulling the wool over the Harpo staff, and Oprah had a right royal hissy fit.

I was thinking about how Phil screens and researches and rehearses so that he may be as prepared as a politician before any situations arise. No spontaniety with Phil, because curve balls generally show what one is made of. Donahue was so secure he took calls from the audience, some odd, some really tough question from no BS New Yorkers. Sometimes he was left blushing, or with phone bone. Phil would not brook such disrespect. He isn't, after all, mortal.

Wanna bet that Shill will only show female prostitutes? Becasue it'll give him another chance to dump all over the wimmenfolk for endangering their families with their risky behavior. Male prostitutes, whichever gender they cater to, Shill won't go near. Because it might give Kitty ideas.

Was anyone else pissed off by the couple who was in debt for $400,000? Particularly the wife. I just loved her constant whining, "I can't go back to work full-time." Lady, unless you're on federal disability, get off your fat ass and head down to the nearest target. I especially love how they send the kids off to summer camp every summer so she doesn't have to deal with them all day. Some stay-at-home mom!

There's also no shame in driving a Volkswagen, or whatever they were driving. And any family member who is so concerned about competing over having the best car isn't worth having in their lives. Real, loving family members would be urging them to cut back on the expensive shit, instead of egging them on.

Oh, yeah, and you don't need a time-share in fucking Hawaii if you're in debt for $400,000.

The lady and her fifteen-year-old brat: $75,000 in debt and she's buying the daughter $200 jeans every week? I suspect the woman was a Hollywood trophy wife and used to being pampered like Robin. Either way, there's no excuse for not being able to balance a check book. And any idiot with half a brain knows you shouldn't buy a $6000 hot tub when you're $75,000 in debt.

I always find it amusing when Phil does these financial shows - as if he and Kitty know anything about being in financial trouble. Phil can't afford that Hawaii timeshare? Yeah fucking right. Shut up, Phil. I must really hate people who think and act wealthier than they are because the first couple didn't bother me so much.

Oh, plug that book, Phil.

Edited because it was a $6000 hot tub, not $600 (though that also would have been stupid.)

Yeah, they were beyond stupid. She was hateful. What a bitch. It's one thing to not work, that's fine if that's your priority, but it's quite another to drive your family to the brink of financial ruin because you want everything now to keep some stupid competitive thing going with your neighbors and family that most likely exists only in your own mind. I bet their neighbors could give a rats' ass what kind of car they drive - I'm sure they have more important things to worry about. They're probably the only ones who are obsessed with one-upping the neighbors.

HATE!

I just don't agree with the lifestyle of the last two guests (the single ex-flight attendant and the last couple.) Nice things are great, if you can afford them. They obviously can't, and I'm sure it's causing a tremendous strain on all the kids involved.

Sure, everybody makes stupid purchases, and a lot of people have debt problems. These people seemed to do this for a much greater emotional reason than Phil addressed.

Massive debt is a big problem in this country, and I agree (!) with Dr. Phil's diagnosis of this sense of entitlement. I learned that the hard way in college when I ran up a ton of credit card debt. But like most people that age, I learned that instant gratification wasn't always a good thing, and I grew up and worked my way out of it. It's hard as hell and requires a lot of sacrifice. I get the impression from these people today that they are unwilling to make the hard sacrifices.

I kept waiting for him to tell that wife to get a job! The older kid is obviously in school and the 2 younger are in preschool part of the day, get a job. Obviously she's not hitting the gym with her down time and the husband said she watches Dr. Phil every day. Been to Hawaii it's okay but take your kids other places. Travel around the continental US, it's cheaper. What exactly did the ex-wife, flight attendant do for a living? I understand they sold their multi-million dollar house in the divorce but she said she blew through it. What is she doing for an income? Alimony and child support I guess.

I'm happy our Phil recognized that endowed woman needed reduction surgery and not two tickets to the off Broadway show,"Your Boobs Are Too Big To Slow Dance With God."

I'm glad he used the precocious child's questions as an excuse to show us his porcine self bouncing about the tennis courts like Fat Bastard in tennis blacks. (And no Phil, it isn't a Nicole Miller cocktail dress. Even in monochrome you still looked SO bloated, girlfriend. Lay off the cocktail wienies.)

My only disappointment (other than that he didn't bitch slap the husband in segment one--The Controlling Gargoyle) was when he and Kitty did their ventriloquist act ("Sit upon my knee, Kitty Girl. You're no more than three, Kitty Girl." Lovely vaudevillian song) they didn't finish with Phil drinking water while Kitty spoke. I thought that was a never-fail ending? Kitty looked super realistic this time, though.

Wow, Gemmadoll. You are VERY FUNNY!!! I like you.

Today is Ask Dr. Phil day on his show. zzzzzzz...... OK, Here is what I like to ask Dr. Phil:

Where the hell do you find these idiots?!

Why do you piss me off on a daily basis?!

Why are so stupid?!

Do you, Robin, & Jay have ADD?!

Does your studio audience have ADD?!

Why do you act like you're Jesus & that you know everything?!

Can Mikai spend a wk at your house?!

Why hasn't your new dog mauled you yet?!

I think Mikai and Jay would have a great time together.

I'm tired of Robin speaking as if "her boys" were nine and twelve and waiting on the front lawn with their catcher's mitts like Wally and The Beav. Big Butt is in his twenties, right? With his own mansion and hot tub? And little Jordass is out of high school, right? Kitty you slay me. It's just you and Phil in that 8,000 square foot cottage so if you're lonely, hire more staff.

Dr. Cher: Mikai can teach Jay on how to get girls & to make babies.

That girl Amy with the 34HH breast crying because people stares at your big beautiful breasts. GET OVER IT, GET A BRAIN, & GET A LIFE. God, what a stupid bitch!!

Why the hell is this bastard talking about participaing on some stupid tennis outing (that I don't give a DAMN about) to raise money for the Tsunami relief?!! What an idiot!! If this was playing in my backyard, I still won't give a DAMN.

They pimped this Tsunami relief stuff to death & frankly I'm sick of it.

There's people suffering in Compton CA, Camden NJ, Newark NJ, Southside Chicago, Mississippi, Overtown- Miami, Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, & etc... and I don't see Dr. Shill talking about it & helping them out. What a worthless bastard!!!

Hilarious! Shil is so patronizing to women. My daughter said she saw his 1st wife on one of those shows (Extra or Access Hollywood) a long time ago and she said Phil was controlling & wanted the little woman to stay home & she wasn't willing to be that person. But Robo-Robin sure is. Crying at the very thought of her boys! I kind of thought he gave that hopeless couple so much time 'cause wifey reminded him of a young Robin. Today's show made me sleeeeeepy....

Robin creeped me out today. "My perfect home is where I feel safe, secure, and protected, and where I feel like if I never left again, that would be just fine." She should move to India or Pakistan where she can just stay in purdah and let the big strong man protect her. Her statements reminded me of last year when Shill declared that "I don't even let my wife go to the 7-11 by herself!"

I just have to say that this was maybe the creepiest thing I've ever seen on TV. I mean, a 50-something woman who apparently has never ventured out in public alone, and a creepy man who's that controlling. Shudder.

WARNING: this post will automatically erase in 20 minutes so that a permanent record is not available for future posters to see: Ok, I think Shill did well with the first couple. I think his advice was good and right on the money. And if the Kitty and Shill Variety Hour was a bit precious, well I guess more husbands and wives could stand to be a bit more like that, it wouldn't hurt. Ok, let's go all the way--Kitty looked pretty. She has very smooth skin. However she gets it, give her props.
Why even bring her on, and pump her up (sorry, bad boob pun) with positive-speak when you know that in 2 weeks all will be a non-issue?? Send her a check at home and be done with it. I just love the double-standard of "You need to be secure in yourself, focus positively, blahblah self-esteemcakes" and, by the way, plastic surgery will cure all as it always does!! By the way--I had that done--worked out great.

TONITE--THE MIKAI HOUR OF POWER. I hope all of you will have your LDS-OMETERS on tonight, maybe we can figure it out once and for all.

And worth every dime Phil paid for it.

I couldn't wait for the Makai episode to air, so I went to the website for the downlow.

DrPhil turned the family in to CPS, but Makai is going into treatment and not prison like he deserves.

The double-H lady ticked me off. I'm pretty top heavy myself, being a D by 7th grade (and getting teased by the boys) and DD by adult hood. I had breast reduction, I made the right choice at the wrong time. I had it before I had kids, now I've got extra weight I never lost from pregnancy and back up to a DD. Did she not have insurance to pay for reducing those jugs? I know mine did. If it's causing you back, neck, whatever pain, it's medical. Even if she doesn't have insurance now, in all these years she's never had insurance? She didn't say how old her boys were, and it was nice for Dr. Shill to have the Plastic Surgeon do it, but who's going to help her during recovery? I think I slept a week straight at first. It's a looong recovery-about 6 weeks. And when the doctor said one of his patients was shocked in the recovery room at the new size-that's bullshit. In recovery, you are so out of it, you are really only woken up to get another shot of Demoral. You are completely wrapped up so tight like a mummy in an ace bandage to keep them from swelling. It wasn't until weeks later until I got to actually see them and realize the new size.

And when she said cops pull her over just to see them? How the hell do they know what size they are? Do cops specifically drive by cars and stare in your window to catch a glimpse of your tities? Now I can see if that was like Pamela Anderson saying cops pulled her over to look at her boobs, but not this lady whose cupputh overflowed.

Big boobed lady: "Mabye I'll complain to Dr. Phil, then I can go on his show and he'll give me a breast reduction for free. I need to practice the tears now!"

I felt bad for her. I don't think it was an act; I think she really did feel very insecure and self-conscious about her size. Especially growing up, girls can be very worried about being different in any way. So for her it must have been very hard to get all this unwanted attention, and basically being treated like an object. I'm kind of top-heavy too, & it always annoyed me. And I'm nowhere near a H! So I do believe she was really sick of being teased, stared at, etc. I actually had a little bit of a problem with the fact that Dr. Phil immediatly suggested surgery. If a woman complained of being too small, viewers would be offended if he wanted her to get plastic surgery; but isn't this the same thing? What about self-acceptance?

So Mikai didn't get arrested for molesting his sister because Dr. Phil smoothed things over with the authorities? Gee, the next time I committ a FELONY, I'm going to go confess on the Dr. Phil show and have him take care of it for me.

And pedophilia is not a DISEASE. Its a choice.

I had a big problem with yesterday's opening act, what I'm calling The Bully and The Ninny (a.k.a. The Controlling Gargoyle). Good grief, did those two ever deserve each other. But when Shill brought Kitty up on stage, as cringe- and snarkworthy as that always is, I thought he'd start yapping to Bully about marriage being a partnership, a pairing of equals, etc. But no; it's all about the lil' woman feeling safe and protected behind those eight-foot-thick mansion walls. What a creep. Purdah indeed!

Re the double-H gal: she wears a 34HH bra? That sounds wrong to me. Aside from her breasts, she looked like something of a big gal to me; maybe she wouldn't have four-boob if she tried wearing a 36HH or 38HH. 34HH, I dunno; seems too small (in circumference) for a gal that size.

I'm kind of surprised a 34 would fit someone who is a 12-14, too - I've been a DD since I was a teenager and have gained way too much weight as I've gotten older, but the last time I was able to wear a 34DD, I weighed about 115-120 lbs. and was a size 6-8, but I have broad shoulders and a big rib cage. The 4-boob problem is either she is wearing a bra too small - and it would be more likely be a too small cup size, not the other or she's wearing the wrong style bra.

I did think giving her the boob job was not such a horrible solution, but what's all the malarkey Shill used to spew about people needing to be in the right frame of mind to have plastic surgery. I think she has issues about her breasts that aren't really about her breasts and won't be solved by giving her smaller ones.

Mikai needs to be locked away where he can't be a predator. Child molesters don't get "cured," it's my understanding that even chemical castration doesn't work, so society (and his little sister) need to be protected from him. A 19-year-old boy messing around with a 16-year-old girl wouldn't make me think that he was anything but a horny teen, but hitting on the two younger brothers' female friends to the point they wouldn't come around and groping his baby sister makes me think otherwise.

Hee. I'm thinking that the cops are more concerned with other things that looking at this woman's chest. Sure, she's got big boobs, but the rest of her...nah... it's not her boobs they're looking at.

As for Makai, I did check out today's show on Phil's site. I have to say that as sick as Makai is, I still feel an intense hatred for the father. Something just ain't right about that one, I just can't put my finger on it yet.

No kidding! Something is so not right with the Mother also. I don't think she's shed a tear yet. Matter of fact, the whole Mikai family is very creepy to watch.

I am totally flabbergasted by this sexual predator show. I'm really trying to figure out how Mikai can avoid criminal prosecution. Phil said that he talked to the police and social services and they believe this treatment center is the best thing. Okay. Fine. But what does it mean that he has avoided (as far as we know) going through the criminal system for what he's done? Better yet, how is this "special treatment" fair when you talk about other child molesters and criminals in general. Because Mikai has privy to Dr. Phil he avoids a criminal record, he avoids being listed as a registered child molester? Can any nonviolent criminal molester go on the show and bypass the criminal justice system for a mental treatment center?

I really don't see how this can fly.

If (faux Mrs. Brady) Mom said one more time, "But he's my son!" I was ready to reach in, pull her through the screen by her scrawny neck & point out that her 4 year old is her daughter . Sorry, but her reaction does not ring true - it's just not normal. She seems unusually close to Mikai and inordinately fond of the cameras. Also the brothers have so much anger against Mikai. Either he molested them too, or they resent Mikai's favored by Mom status. She skeeves me out far more than Dad. I think Phil's in dangerous territory with this one. Where did Mikai get this "disease"? These parents surely have something to do with it, even if it's leaving him alone with a molesting grandparent. I hope they do pull the little girl from that home for her own safety.

I really don't think the show is real. Honestly, how can the mother want to hug that creep after finding out he molested her 2 yr old daughter? What kind of family is this anyway? And the father is NOW just getting angry; he knew his son had loose screws in his head way before the Dr. Phil show. I was not touched, or impressed with his outrage. He should have reacted that way A LONG TIME AGO. He is the reason behind this. I hold him responsible for the molestation taking place (if the show is real)

Considering what happened I don't see how you can continue on a relationship with a child molester, especially one so close to the family. K
