The show can be very interesting on some of the subjects they have but the guest that they have are usually only in the Calorfonia area which I do not think it is fair. I sent a question to the plastic surgeon about my face cuz i was in a serious accident 28 years ago and never got an answer. Which is sad cuz he stated he can do just about anything now a days with plastic surgery. But other than that it is a good show. I have not watched in a while but I might pick it back up again.
Ha ha ha.... That was funny about the chop sticks... I know when I get chinese and I have to watch myself too... Learn when I was a child and got faster thur the years. I just thought I would tell ya that made me laugh. I hope these help out alot of people on here too..
