At least a couple of times a week people walk up to JJ and try to give her their evidence and Byrd says, "Hey, get back." Why don't they know the procedure by now? This show has been on for twenty years. If they were going to be on a show you would think they would watch a least a couple of episodes and know better.
shareIf they actually watched couple of episodes they wouldn't appear on JJ.

When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass.
But a lot of the people who come on the show have watched it.
shareI actually find this statement hard to believe [not that you are lying].
if these schlubs actually watched the show they would take notice that she dislikes bullchit. she despises trash people who want things they can't afford/ are able bodied on the dole/ don't raise their children as best they can.
yet they still show up with all this crap.
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.
People are willing to risk it for the money. I have heard people even joke about making up a fake case just to get money out of Judy, that any yelling she did would be worth it. Let's be honest. With all the litigants JJ yells at, its not like any one in particular will suffer serious public humiliation unless it attracts great attention through social media like the Tupperware lady, Kelly Filkins, or the two kids who stole the wallet and admitted to it, etc. Those people just ruined their reputations as their cases attract more attention than most, but 90% of the cases won't. So the question becomes, is the money worth a few second of public humiliation that chances are will be forgotten the next day after the airing?
sharePeople don't mind embarrassing themselves on TV. That's the reason we have so many reality shows.
shareMaybe because they're nervous?
My question is, why is it when Byrd has to go to the litigants to get paperwork, who is he looking at before he gives it to JJ. The cameraman?
OMG, MiketheMechanic!!
You totally read my mind..... I've wondered that exact thing since the show started in Sept/1996 - no matter whether Byrd is handing the paperwork to JJ, or getting it from the litigants, he NEVER looks at that person, it has been almost TWENTY YEARS that this has been quietly annoying me!!
I'm glad to know someone else is as perceptive as I've been, Mike
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot - than to open it and remove all doubt!
I like when he has to read the document or text message himself first, on his strut back to the bench, before he hands it over to Judge Judy.
How I wish a litigant would yell out "That's confidential! I only gave Judy permission to read that text!"

And not just her show, all the court shows do that.
shareI beg to differ, rdpepper210......Douglas, the Bailiff on The Peoples Court, makes eye contact with everyone - litigants, witnesses, and most importantly, Judge Marilyn Milian herself. He (and Byrd) actually behave like actual Bailiffs, whereas the clown on Judge Mathis acts more like a cheerleader - at the end of each case, he's applauding louder and harder than the "audience", and litigants are. Judge's Judy and Marilyn do not encourage a sense of "courtroom participation" that idiot (imo) Judge Mathis does - his show is comical, the ladies have a far more dignified approach to their shows.

Thanks! It makes you wonder if he's looking at the clock hoping for that 5 o'clock chime!

Thanks so much for the explanation, Tatmanlulu_BACK, that makes perfect sense.
But inquiring minds want to know.........were you the Plaintiff or the Defendant, and did you wind up on the Plus or Minus side of the case?

Watch again - he looks right at the paperwork when he picks it up from the defendant.

Yeah, maybe that's it. Nerves.
shareBecause the captain didn't turn off the "No Walking Up To Judge Judy" sign, that's why. :)
shareI say that all the time. If I was going to be on a show, even if I had never seen it I would watch it a few times to see what it was like. I never get those people either.
