Your honest and to the point!

What I like about your show is that your honest and to the point, but you do it in a nice way to get your point across. I watch about 5 to 10 shows everyday of yours and I love them. But every once in a while you have to put your foot down, and even when you do that…even when you have had enough..your still pretty nice about it and at times make a joke to get the point across. For instance…the 2 part show on truthfully Teresa ? I think that was her name. When she fell on the floor and you said oh my god! I was happy, because she seems that she needs so much attention…but she made herself look a little crazy. Ok, sorry I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your shows. Oh and Robins face regiment does look awesome. The people in the audience are very lucky to receive any of it. I would love to try it, however it is a little high for me right now. But one day I’m going to try it because it looks amazing and she gets a lot of good reviews. Thank you for listening, have a wonderful day. Susie
