I've never posted here, but I stayed home from work today and I saw Marisol, Georgetta, and Moynisha. Oh, Good Lord. I think it was a re-run, but does anyone know if any of these..."women" have located the fathers?

I'm in total agreement about some sort of class to understand conception. Ovulation times can vary, of course, but damn! How big of a whoresluttramp do you have to be to fuck around with 10+ guys in the span of a few days? And, hello? He's not going to be the father just because you really, really, really believe it (this time).

I concur about the tiresome "Nevaeh," but in a sea of misplaced apostrophes (posing as accent marks, because, y'know, it's French), heinous phonetic spellings, and more vowels in a name than any one person could ever need, I think that Nevaeh is about as good as you're gonna get.

I only watched the segment with Moynisha and the 6th guy she got tested. Oy! I think that these girls just don't know when they got pregnant. Mind-boggling I know, but it seems the best explanation.

I think Marislut's most recent appearance was a new episode, since she was looking for the babydaddy of her FIFTH child, Anthony. Is this whore too stupid to understand by now how to avoid unplanned pregnancies, or does she just not care that she keeps having what seem to be unintended pregnancies? And doesn't she feel any shame at having now five kids by five different fathers?

I believe many of the guests are pretending to not know who their baby's daddy is. I believe some of these couples appear because they get a free trip plus a hotel room paid for by the show. What a great way to get a free vacation don't you think? Just the way some of the guys sit there and laugh while trying to deny their children, it looks fake.

Also, for the girls who seriously can't figure out which of the 5 guys fathered her baby, I think the first thing she needs to get tested is herself for AIDS! Why doesn't Maury ever mention this to the guests? All those sex partners, no condoms and babies are made but no one discusses any STD's or HIV/AIDS????

I'm a little late to this thread, but I just had to add my two cents. I watch this show from time to time when I'm on vacation, and I'm actually off for the next two weeks. Anyway, I just got done watching a paternity test show. It does seem staged. I find it hard to believe that time after time these women don't know who their children's fathers are. I hate to be mean. I really do. But why is it always the extremely obese women who fall out of their chairs, roll on the floor, or run to the back of the stage when Maury announces, "You are NOT the father of baby ______." It also amazes me when it does turn out that the guy is the father, and he and the mother end up kissing or getting back together after he just called her a hoodrat or a whore just five minutes prior.

Where do they find some of these people? Some of them seem so dense. Others are just plain ghetto. If you've tested one or two men and you still haven't found your baby's father, seems like you'd be too embarrassed to keep testing guys on national TV. Aren't you ashamed of what people in your town think of you?

I don't know how the Maury show had the nerve to keep putting up its "Spring Break Updates" logo during today's show. It was nothing but old paternity show clips-- there weren't any updates at all. It was just one big commercial for the hotel where they were filming.

So much word to your post!

I feel ashamed that these girls allow themselves to be called degrading names and after the test is done, all is good and lovey dovey. It is typical abusive relationships. Now, that is assuming the couples are there FOR REAL and it is not staged. For the rest that are staged, the Maury show is being taken for a ride by a bunch of hood rats who want a free trip to Chicago!!! Whoo hoo. And they don't care what people back home think because those people back home are hood rats themselves and have no class. They don't care what the rest of America thinks about them. I have no clue how it is some girl has to test up to 8 guys (that is the most I have ever saw get tested) to find out which one is the father. Maury lost my respect so long ago with his show. He is married to Connie Chung. I wonder what or how she feels about his shows? I would think Connie would be embarrassed to go to functions with her man knowing the kind of shows he does.

I thought Maury's show was in NYC.

I thought it was in Chicago.

See, that's how long it's been since I watched the show. I may be wrong about the city.

NBC Universal is moving Springer and the Steve Wilkos Show from Chicago, and Maury fom NYC, to Connecticut to take advantage of recently enacted tax breaks. Stephen Colbert had a funny routine last night about how the shows would go from hillbillies fighting each other to well-dressed women fighting over who stole whose recipe.

As I was watching today's lie detector show I had to marvel at all the guys (today it was guys, but it's been women too in the past) who think they can beat the lie detector. I guess they just figure that since they've been successfully lying to their partner all this time, they must be the world's greatest liars. One guy today had this great deer-in-the-headlights look when the lie detector results were read. Of course, by the end of the show I was fuming because two of the cheaters got down on a knee to propose marriage and both were accepted. I can't figure out how these women take the cheaters back.

As far as Maury's show is concerned, hood rats best describes his guests, not hillbillies.

Yeah-- I'm not sure that Stephen Colbert really watches much of Maury.

It does make me wonder, though, if people will still debase themselves for a free trip to Stamford Connecticut. (Or maybe the show will fly people into NYC and let them stay there).

A couple of these hos have tested men into the double digits. Sholonda was in the lead last time I watched. Is she up to 17 men now trying to find the father of Kayla? That's a lot of unprotected sex to be having, let alone a lot of adultery!

Are you serious?? 17 guys?? Get that girl to a clinic quick! Forget finding the father of her child.

Sholonda's story is that she cheated on her spineless doormat husband Tywrell with 6 guys. When none of her side lovers were shown to be the father, she confessed that she got really drunk at a party and slept with about 14 other guys. Now she's in the process of eliminating the party guests. She must be crawling with diseases!

If she got so drunk, how could she remember who was at that orgy?

The only eps I ever look out for is the Caught On Tape ones or the Face Your Fears ones. All others I pass.

Last night's Cold Case had a character, a baseball groupie named Marisol -- ha ha, no wonder she can never find the daddy; he's a dead Cuban ballplayer!

Post deleted.

I find it either sad or amusing... not sure which... that Maury's show hasn't changed a bit from 1995 when it was one of my guilty pleasures while recuperating from surgery. Does anybody know if he's ever done a show where the child of someone who needed a paternity test back in the 1990's has come to him recently for help finding the father of her OWN child? If he hasn't, he should. And I'll take a cut of the proceeds... thanks, Maury.

I just had to post this. Apparently it's from a few days ago. The ending is just too much. I couldn't stop laughing.

I feel sorry for all of the kids, especially the children of Marisol and the other women who tested 10+ men. Can you imagine looking back at parents acting that way on television?

`Povich' joins campaign to prevent teen pregnancy

The show is confused, since I thought they'd be for teen pregnancy - how else will Maury stay on the air?

Anyway, so they've had so many ladies unable to find baby daddies - now they've introduced the ultimate man-slut. This guy has 22 kids that he's denying. His mama comes on with him, defending her boy every time. So far, amazingly, he is not the father for the first five they've tested, yet his cousin (both of who "got on the amusement ride" regarding one lady) got busted as the father of one of them.

I just watched that show. That guy and his family are annoying. I wish the next kids they test are his just to shut him up and/or humble him.

In "I have a secret to tell you" episodes from today and last week I've started to notice how many of the women aren't actually crying when they pretend they are-- their hands shake, they wipe their eyes, but no tears ever fall. I always thought that some of the guests must be just going for the free "vacation" by appearing on the Maury show, but now I think it's even more prevalent than I realized.

Victoria, the out of control 15 year old who wanted to have a baby and whose clip was very popular on YouTube, came back today on a recent rerun featuring updates. She's 17 now, and though she claimed she turned her life around, she has had a baby! She said she didn't plan to have it, though she was obviously not using protection, or at least not every time, if she still got pregnant as a teenager, even if she wasn't planning it anymore! Maury congratulated her for "turning her life around" and gave her a gift certificate for baby clothes and supplies and stuff.

I don't get his pick and choose attitude of condemning wild teen girls who want to have babies, yet trying to normalise other teen girls who have had babies. (It pisses me off the most, though, when he tries to make it seem so normal for some of his teen guests to be married or engaged and have a couple of kids already. I'm never surprised when we get updates saying that these teen marriages broke up.) He also did this on some update show featuring long-overdue updates on people he hadn't updated in years. Piggy, an out of control 15 year old girl who was 4 or 5 months pregnant, was 21 by this time and said she had totally cleaned up her act, yet she still had 4 kids already. How again are you making a solid future for yourself by being so careless with birth control and continuing to have presumably unplanned pregnancies at such a young age?

Piggy? I hope to God that's a nickname or an alias.

Bit behind in the UK...
Any news on
Shalonda- is she still fat and has she found the father of her child?
Shawn- is she still prostitutin' and has she found the father of her child?
Moyisha- is she still a stupid cow and has she found the father of her child?
Marisol- has the most fertile woman on the planet found the father of her child?
Simone- has she got any thinner/even worse an actress and has she found the father of her child?

I thought Michelle Duggar was the most fertile?

When will Maury do the country a favor and get all these women and guys tested for STD's and HIV/AIDS and announce the results on television??

Maury hit a new low in irresponsibility on today's episode. Nineteen year old Delila was sadly born with HIV and lost her mom to the disease when she was seven (although for some reason Delila herself didn't find out she was HIV-positive till she was fourteen). Now she has a 9 month old daughter, Nancielle, who has luckily had three HIV-negative test results. The 20 year old babydaddy (already forget his name; Tony?) thinks Nancielle belongs to Delila's current boyfriend, Nanci, whom she named the baby after. What really galled me about this story was that Delila says they didn't sleep together until two months in, and that it was his decision to have sex without a condom. There's never any mention of whether he's had any HIV tests since having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman. What is going through this young lady's head? Doesn't she grasp the seriousness of her disease? Why would she allow any guy to have unprotected sex with her, even if he decided to take that risk? If she loved this guy so much, why would she be okay with unnecessarily exposing him to a deadly disease? And why would she take the risk of continuing a pregnancy when there's always that chance of passing it on to the baby? Maury never even mentioned any of this.

Another jaw-dropper on a recent show was 16 year old Jasmine, who first came on the show at 14 when her mom was desperate to stop her from having a baby. Jasmine cleaned up her act to a degree, but not 100%, since she ended up getting pregnant at 15, and confessed to her mom on a past episode when she was pretty far in. Now Rhianna is 7 months old, and Jasmine tearily confesses to her mommy that she's 4 months pregnant. She sobs to Maury about how the condoms were old and they broke, and of course both she and her mom are crying about how they can barely take care of Rhianna. Why the hell is this girl running out and having unprotected sex all over again when her first unplanned child is only a few months old, and why is she using old broken condoms? King Maury gives them a year's supply of formula and diapers, "so you won't have to struggle anymore." He should have given them a year's supply of condoms and pills. I won't be surprised at all when Jasmine shows up again to tell her mom that she's pregnant with her third unplanned child.

I am not surprised Maury didn't mention any of those things. He never mentions AIDS or HIV exposure when he has a baby-mama on stage seeking the identity of her baby's father after she has had unprotected sex with God-knows how many men in a short period of time. I have never ever heard Maury mention to anyone about the worry of STD's or some deadly disease. The show harps on two screaming banshees over paternity and nothing else. In this day and age I still cannot conceive why any person would risk unprotected sex with anyone. If you have sex with someone, you are essentially having sex not only with that person, but with every person they ever slept with. I stopped watching Maury years ago because I was so tired of the same old thing and not enough education to ignorant people.

Is anyone seeing the "Revenge of the Geeks" episode from last month today instead of the new "Send In The Decoys... Bust My Cheating Man!" on their local channels or is it just the channel I'm seeing the show on?

I didn't even realize that Maury started with new episodes this week. Anyway, the Maury Show has a Facebook page now.

I saw the decoy show It was like all the other ones. Boring.

Here are next week's shows on Maury.

9-21 - Paternity Tests

9-22 - Its not worth your time.

9-23 - More Paternity Tests (Telena will be back to test man #8.)

9-24 - Out of control Teen Girls

9-25 - Lie-Detector Tests

Geez am I the only one who misses the old my child is horrible show. With the little 8 and 9 year olds who thought they were badasses and usually cried like 20 minutes in. I miss the talented kids when they used to actually have kids who went on to do something... One of my favorite episodes because I am totally creeped out yet oddly fascinated by child pageants. The episode where they had all those little beauty queens on and they all went on stage and danced to that honk a honk ba donk a donk song or w/e the hell it is...

What bugs me about the "sexy decoys" episodes is that it always goes like this: woman comes on accusing her man of cheating on her and he denies it, only to be caught on camera coming on to a decoy while they're in the green room. When is it going to be a woman that caught with a sexy decoy (male or female)? It would be a nice change of pace.

I don't watch the show anymore but I am still perplexed they have these kind of episodes.



When are the guys who agree to be on Maury figure out the chick coming on to them is a decoy and they are being filmed? After a few of these kind of episodes, you'd think these morons would know it is a set-up. I mean, the guys most likely don't work and are at home watching Maury.

I remember one episode where the guy actually suspected there might be a hidden camera, so he went with the decoy into another room. As luck would have it, there was a camera in that room as well!

No one does Maury recaps anymore? Damn, times are a'changin...

Okay, so today's show was supposed to be on the ghosties and ghoulies bandwagon. Instead it was the old switcheroo...the first few segments were dedicated to the paranormal, the next segment we were supposed to guess if ghostly videos were "real or fake," and the last few segments were dedicated to scary real-life situations i.e. bad guys robbing liquor stores and high speed police chases (nary a ghost to be found)!

Duped by Maury's misleading show titles again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me umpteen times, shame on me.

Keep watching, America!

So today I think we had a first. Kayla says Dustan is the father of Malachi. Dustan denies because ... wait for it .... he's gay! Yes, they did sleep together, though. But he's not the father, because Dustan's new lover Russell says Kayla was sleeping around. Here are the results: Dustan, you ARE the father! Russell starts yelling at her: "We are going to court! We are going to court!" Backstage, Dustan and Russell get real tough with Kayla, with plenty of accusations of "bitch!" flying around.

Oh where are the fat babies of yesteryear?

EDITED TO ADD:

Marisol is returning in an upcoming episode. She thinks she's found the father of baby #5, Anthony. As for now, of her 5 children, she knows the father only of Eliza.
