In Molly's case, JJ asked her if she was 'sick' which I thought meant to ask if she was on drugs because her behavior was kinda odd. I don't think she was trying to audition, I just think she was trying to get sympathy. Boy, did she pick the wrong judge! BTW....where is everyone from the old board? I thought everyone was going to post about JJ on another site but when I went to visit recently no one had posted on that site in weeks. I didn't catch that - I thought she asked because she looked like she had a contagious disease and very ill. Didn't like her at all. |

As I said before, I don't watch much Judy, so I have little to say. However, I check this and the other board daily. I miss you guys.  Hi Gubbs, good to see you!! I check the boards daily too and post every once in a while. Miss you guys too!! |

She also didn't get it when JJ asked her a couple of times if she thought being with that guy was the right thing to do. |

I haven't been posting because she was all repeats the past 2 months (just when we started this forum). This month she's back with all new episodes because of 'ratings sweeps' which means she's back-to-back with new, recently taped episodes (I think one on Friday was taped in April, according to her calculations).

What struck me as most odd about the 'betting pool' case was the fact that the activity was ILLEGAL. Oh yeah....I never thought of that.
Then again, with the prize pool the amount that it was....it'd be interesting to see if the IRS would be calling.
I mean...the one we have at the bowling alley....isn't exactly high-stakes. 100 squares at...I think $5 a square.
A little more than half goes to the prize pool, and the other portion towards the Bowler's Association.

There's another good point you just made...
JJ should have asked the plaintiffs (all of them) if they have ever won in betting pools before, and if so - how much in total (or there-about). She should have then asked if they claim their winnings on their income tax...and that she hopes the IRS is watching the show to know these plaintiffs just won $2000 and they better include it as income.
It's not just plaintiffs who get paid 'under the table' who are cheating the IRS.

Last week I finally watched two episodes, neither particularly noteworthy. Is it possible that I'm actually BURNED OUT on JJ?!

Yesterday there was a case where a woman was bitten by a dog, which belonged to the room-mate of the person she was visiting. Turns out the person she was visiting is her hairdresser, and she works out of her bedroom, where it was established she had no running water in the bedroom. Still she's able to cut, style and do a foil treatment in her bedroom for her customers.
Not once did Judge Judy ask the hairdresser (who was a witness for her room-mate, the defendant) if she filed income taxes for last year. Not once did she ask her if she was a licensed hairdresser, and was the premises inspected by the health department. Not once did she ask how much she earned a year hairdressing out of the bedroom, nor how much she charged the plaintiff that day. Now she got up to testify as a witness for the defendant, so she wasn't there for 'moral support' or as a 'spectator'. She took a very active role in the case, and should have been subject to all these questions by Judy.
And I'm on the fence about whether Judy should have entertained this case, as well, as the plaintiff was at the apartment participating in an 'illegal business' if this location wasn't approved by the health department, and if her friend is not claiming taxes on her income. She should have thrown it out.

Three college girls staging an 'intervention'....
Three college girls staged an 'intervention' on a fourth room-mate, because they felt that her drug use and drinking were getting out of hand. JJ questioned these three girls on what kind of education or experience they had to stage this 'intervention' - the three admitted they had none. JJ ripped them apart for interfering with this girl. HUH? Since when do you need education and clinical experience to "stage an intervention" ( a term widely misused in the 2010s) with a roomie who drinks excessively?
If the roomie had fallen on the floor and was choking, and one of them performed the Heimlich maneuver to save her (with no education or clinical experience behind her; just what she saw on a TV show once or twice), would JJ still have been so harsh on her - and tell her she had no right to get involved since she had no training or proper education?
BTW, the defendant had one large nose on her. I thought it was fake nose at first, but then realized it was the real thing in need of rhinoplasty.

Judy was clearly nitpicking on the meaning of "intervention" to belittle the girls and for her usual drama. I was surprised she went in that direction, because any idiot would know that while saying "intervention," the girls simply meant that wanted to have a frank talk with the defendant. Judy's getting into the clinical meaning of "intervention" was RE-DICK-U-LESS! This is a fine example of why I find her cross-examinations tedious and difficult to sit through. |

I agree, JJ went on too much with the 'intervention' issue but also it was because the girls misleadingly used that word, so I guess she was trying to make a point. |

She has to do it to keep up her ratings and keep her adoring public happy. Frankly, I don't understand why her minions can't see through her. It's more than obvious that she's playing the role of a miserable bitch, because half of the time, she makes little sense. I can only take so much of her. |

"Intervention" is the pop-psychology buzzword in the college community these days (I work at two different colleges, and hear this all the time - everything is 'an intervention'). So the girls were speaking as they have been taught in their community - I can't understand why she was caught up on the word.
Like I said, if someone jumped up and performed the Heimlich maneuver, with no clinical or First Aid experience, would it matter to JJ?

It's VERY possible. Neither case that aired on 5/10 were really memorable.
So, it's possible that I'M burned out, too! 
At the end of this season, I may just walk away from JJ. Then again, I've been saying that for the past 3 years.

I'm getting a bit tired of the show, too. I mean how many more 'dog bites' and 'gift not a loan' cases can we watch? And we know how it's going to end before she asks the third question.
Not even the plaintiffs are all that entertaining any longer. The word 'Texas' still makes me chuckle when they mean 'Texts', but other than that...yawn. What happened to the good ol' days when apartments came furnitured and rapists were standatory?

I'll always enjoy it, she's still a spitfire, even if some of it is put on for show! She had me laughing the other day when she repeatedly told the plaintiff 'I DON'T CARE!!'  |
