Odd reward

I found it strange that Dr. Phil rewarded the first couple with a second over-the-top wedding. Just another chance for things to go wrong and for Janae to go home sobbing about how her special day was ruined. (Although I'll agree with her that Mike shouldn't have been sloshed.)

Dr. Phil's gift only plays into the wedding industry's script that every couple has to break the bank for a wedding that's just like what Diane and Charles had. This is a recipe for disaster.

Here's how to have a fun wedding: Keep is simple, have low expectations and assume that a couple things will go wrong. You'll have a great time.

Complex problem

I really don't think a new kitchen and a few trips to the dump will solve Nancy's compulsive hoarding, which is a difficult psychological problem to solve. And Bob the boozehound won't be of much help here. I wish Dr. P. dwelled more on the science behind hoarders, and offered her a complete psychological exam, along with follow-up counseling -- and removal of all of the trash from the home. I think the animals need a new home too, as they're the source of a lot of the filth.
