Maybe we could have a showdown with "Dr." Phil. I'd be happy to go up against him any day. I watched part of one his shows about his weight loss challenge group, and I wanted to reach through the TV and smack him. The way he treated those people was so awful. They might lose some weight, but their self esteem seems to have plummeted. Maybe he thinks he has to act like an a**hole to make the show more interesting.
No program claiming to help people should involve public ridicule. He was treating them like stupid, untrained dogs! I can't imagine thier sucess will last.
Just put me in a room with him!! Televised or not, I'd love to give him a piece of my mind!!
