Dr. Phil

is talking to "runaway" brides and grooms.  The first lady clearly doesn't want to get married and has set up a number of hoops for the dude, including money issues and wanting him to lose weight.  The one the good doctor is hung up on?  That she wants him to agree to change his name to hers.  Phil seems to think that is Ca-razy.

  • I think you might need to get back to work.

  • Are there ever any non ca-razy people on Dr. Phil?

  • The only proper role for Dr. Phil's wife is to support her husband by showing up at work and cheering him on.  I think he's going to have skewed views on name changing and it's importance in relation to other stuff.

    I used to like Dr Phil when he was an occasional Oprah guest. Once his show turned into Maury Povich, I haven't watched. One day there was a woman with a husband leading a double life as a serial killer or something, became violent with her, was stalking her, and Dr Phil was helping them "sort through it". How does one sort through serial killing? He was trying to get the guy to "open up" about the killings because she knew there was a serial killer in her area but didn't know it was her husband. It was a 2 day show with an update later on or something.

    Or where he gets all the people with an issue in the same room and pairs them up with person they're scared of. Like a blond white lady deathly afraid of black males because once she was attacked by one. So, if she sees one she crosses the street, hyperventilates, etc. So, she had to be paired with with a big black man to get over her fear. So on and so forth.  Weird sh*t.

    I'm pretty much over talk shows except Wendy Williams. I'm waiting for Ethan to say a really good "How you doin'?" then I'm sending it in. But even that we don't have time to watch anymore.

    That's bizarre. I'm not sure I believe it's true.

    Hah.

    And I was asking sincerely...I've never watched the show.  Does he ever have 'normal' people on?  I only ever hear stories about crazycakes people.

  • I do not believe at all that an otherwise rational, non-controlling man threatens divorce if his wife doesn't change her name.

    I don't know about "normal." I guess you aren't going on a TV psych show if you aren't effed up somehow.

  • How do you not know your husband is a serial killer?  Did she think he was in jail for parking tickets?

    I mean, I'm assuming he had been arrested and charged, and he didn't just go on Dr. Phil to reveal his serial killing ways even though he hadn't been caught.

    It's Dr Phil- "A husband's shocking confession"- I think he came on the show to confess. I only saw part's 2 and 3 and just parts of them.

    Um, yeah. Hello? BigBootyJudy??? (and I'm forgetting her original sn).  She was on Montel!

  • I think BigBootyJudy was her original sn.

    Not just divorce, divorce with life-partnership (which apparently entails remaining in the same home and going ahead with plans to have kids, just without remaining married).

  • I thought Joe Rogan put it best when talking about Dr. Phil: "Don't ever take relationship advice from a man you wouldn't f*ck."
  • No criticism from me for trying to wake up the board, i just never took you as a Dr. Phil watcher.  Or a Housewives watcher.

    Oh, Sam. I love stupid TV.  I'd probably still watch Maury's Which of These 14 Guys is the Baby Daddy if it were still on.  I'm currently watching a marathon of Rachel Zoe.  I know she stays skinny to fit into samples, but girlfriend would look so much better with thirty pounds to fill in the smoker's canyons around her mouth. 

    image
  • I love the Rachel Zoe Project, but it pains me when she looks longingly at Rodger's food.  Or when Rodger is so grumpy because he hasn't eaten all day, but no one else cares because they don't eat.  I really like her though, I hope she does okay with her pregnancy.

    I find her surprisingly likeable too.  I can't believe she managed to get pg with 0% body fat.  I also cannot imagine her with a baby.

    Nope! It was SAHM.
