How would you act?


Whenever one side is listening to the other person tell their version, when they react shocked or outraged by what is being said, not only do they look stupid to us with all of their wild expressions, but Judge Milian often tells them to cool it, even when they haven't said anything, just made faces. 

However, whenever one side stands calmly listening to the other side, even when they disagree with it, it sometimes makes them look guilty. And I have also noticed that the less of a reaction shown, the more likely Judge Milian tends to become biased against them before ever hearing their own testimony. Sort of "damned if you do, damned if you don't." 

Now, granted, I would never ever agree to appear on television like this. But I have thought about it many times how I would act if the other person were lying about me, and I just don't know! 

What would you do? 

I use to watch the show years ago with my favorite Judge Wapner. My daughter has gotten me hooked on the current judge shows such as Judy Judge & Judge Millian. I'm with you about not wanting to appear on a show like this. Not my kinda thing. I don't think I could stand there emotionless as someone talked trash about me. It's human nature to react with facial expressions when someone lies about you or over exaggerates. I have to hand it to those who can stand there so calm. I don't think I could. I don't think I'd get all dramatic either gasping, covering my face or clinching my fists but I think I've have to react in some way.

I'm glad you are sensible and would never want to appear on a show like this and be a fool. It is amazing how many people go on this show and look foolish. I guess they figure they get 15 minutes of fame and they do receive something for their troubles, so they don't care.

I feel that way about most reality TV. It's shocking how much people want fame, even if it's bad! I would be mortified to appear badly on television...

The only reality tv I watch are the Alaska shows or nature type ones but even those are scripted and staged. Or some of it is. I would never watch trashy tv like the new one with Ozzie and his son. I've been an Ozzie fan for many many years but putting him and his family on tv took away all that. Pure trash. It's all drama. I tried watching Judge Joe Brown and talk about trash. I saw big black man waving his arms talking high voice and calls himself a drama queen while the Judge sat back and laughed at him I turned that off quick.
