[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 374757, member: 23"] Weirdly I haven't noticed it much with Judge Judy, which I'm going to chalk up to the fuzzy picture quality. On the newer series filmed in HD they practically leapt out at me. I'm going to keep an eye out for red-headed guy over the next few days and see if I can spot him. I did the same thing a while back and felt a bit deflated to find this out. Off the back of this I've done some more searches and found [URL='https://screenrant.com/judge-judy-fakest-things/#some-judge-judy-cases-are-fake']this article [/URL]on 10 fake things about the series. Most are probably screamingly obvious, while others confirm suspicions I've felt from watching. Yes, I suspect it's a little cross-examination technique, probably for similar reasons that she frequently stamps on people who repeat her question back at her: to deny people the chance to potentially create or maintain a story that isn't true. Somewhere along the way I read that another psychological trick she frequently employs is to ask a question in a way that suggests she has damning paperwork in front of her when she's actually just looking at something unrelated. This is probably when she comes out with something like "I want you to be very careful about your answer here". Yes, that makes sense, but it still feels less satisfying to me knowing that someone who may have ripped someone off for money not only has that debt paid for them, but gets an appearance fee and an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles. It helps that their dishonesty is exposed and memorialised on a show screened around the world, but many of them don't even seem to care about [I]that[/I].
