    I dunno. They called me to come on, but I changed my mind real quick. Decided that my personal probs should stay personal. But that's an awesome question!

    U know what I don't care who is taking bout saggin as long as somebody is! Hell Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch could talk about it for all I care. I don't really think that this is a doc Phil issue but as long as someone is addressing the fact that u look like an idiot doin it then hey whatever. Y the hell are people still even saggin anyways didn't that go out with Kris Kros and Cross Colors!!!! I thought this was the Millionaire Status Generation........................I don't c Donald Trump saggin! And as far as Ying Yang repin Hip Hop..........................It's a sad day for hip hop when the people that song "Shake It Like A Salt Shaker" are what we have as reps!

    I think part of it may be is if they go on national television with it they have no choice but to deal with it. Everyone will know their secrets. Some people just want to be on television I guess.

    Some people crave the attention...and the drama....for others....they really are hoping to get some helpful information.......Just imagine the ones who dont make it on the show.

    Who knows? I would never do that b/c then everyone in you neighborhood and your school and/or work knows your issues... some things are better to be discussed in private and not in front of millions-or thousand, however many viewers he gets.

    Its all fake.Nobody goes on national TV and tells all their personal buisness.Those people are amatuer actors.

    because people are desperate and do anything for a freebie...pretty sad though that a so called Dr would take advantage of that.

    They want a free trip. Half of them are probably making their stories up anyway.

    I think that they just get to the point that they are desperate for help and will try anything that might help their situation.
