<p>You have just answered a question I’ve always asked about this show. Why in the world would anyone ever go on it?! I didn’t realize that the show paid the plaintiff if Judge Judy ruled on their behalf. That explains a lot.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d never go on. People watch that show for comic relief and the individuals who are participating rarely, if ever, come off in favorable light. I’ve watched it a few times when my D and her friends had it on and, all I could do was shake my head.</p>
