Maybe it’s because Victoria Stilwell is a judge (she does a lovely dominatrix-cum-dog trainer on “It’s Me or the Dog”), or maybe it’s because they aren’t rewarding J.D.’s arrogant assumption that he and Galaxy will win, but I still love this show. Can’t wait for the gloves to come off next week between Wendy & Victoria. I hope Allen has Kevlar on under his shirt…
You call it whipped, most call it trained. Firstly, NO ONE should ever encourage their dog to run off and eat random food sitting on the ground. That’s a good way to get your dog killed.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didnt beth joy kind of do the same thing in front of the judges when they got after her for putting clothes on her dog? She brought Laurie and Andrew into it becuz andrew had top knots or something on his head. What goes around comes around
Go, Presley! You are one beautiful okie dog. Woof! And, Star, you are a cup of sunshine. I don’t know who I want to pat on the top of the head more: Travis, Bill, Presley, or Star!
Is there an episode where Beth Joy *doesn’t* cry? I hate her using the fact that her dog was a rescue to justify the pup having issues having her paws touched. “Rescue” doesn’t automatically mean a dog has issues, or was abused.
This challenge was stupid. When they brought out the dog painting “expert” I about fell off my chair. Has anyone ever painted with their dog before, except by accident? Although trying to play along and critique art my favorite was JD’s painting best. In trying to rationalize her trouble with this challenge Laura made the mistake of pointing out Bella Starlet’s cries.
As for me, Bill and Star are the team to watch!
How can you not fall in love with Bill and Star, love them
I have been watching for Tilman and them
I was a little confused with the judges’ inconsistency. On the one hand they crucified JD for having the letters backwards on parts of it (and making it look TOTALLY) like a dog had done it) but then praised one of the others (sorry can’t remember) because “after all no one is perfect!”
Go Star!!! Beth Joy is a neurotic mess, and I’d be surprised if she hasn’t given Bella Starlet ulcers by now. Would you want to live with her if you were that dog? Her yelps were her way of saying, “Get me the heck away from this insane woman.”
Didn’t like Laura, but LOVED her outfit on judgment day. Dress was adorable.
Teresa is the nicest person alive. I would die if i met her>
Mandi, for your information, according to their bio Andrew is a nationally certified therapy dog and therapy dogs are TRAINED never to leave their owners side. What would it look like for a therapy dog to be in the hospital and run off to go eat off a patient’s tray? So, yep, not even for chicken and bacon. So for you to call a well trained dog “whipped” because he won’t run off to go get food off the ground, then you are calling every service and police dog whipped as well. They are dogs, not humans and therefore cannot be “whipped.” Dogs are trained to do things and not do things. If anything Andrew might be too well trained and too well mannered to be on this idiotic show.
Tillman is the GREATEST AMERICAN DOG — the show is so dull without that handsome and lovable bulldog!!!
Last night’s elephant test was proof enough that sensationialism is the only factor for reality shows, whether it’s CBS or another network promoting them. I can’t believe that the dog owners put up with that baloney. People and dogs were at risk; this was not entertaining for me. It was awful.
The maltese sitting firm —that might show lack of intelligence rather than “courage”. How stupid can people be ? The smart dogs got the H….L out of there. Watching Bill and Star endure that stupidity and then being sent home was very upsetting.
The others all must have had plenty to say off camera, but we’ll never hear it, right ? Just when I thought it could not get any worse, it truly has. And now I can’t imagine what horrible tasks are left. I cannot believe that they called Kirsten the “dog art instructor” in to examine Galaxy. Since when is she authorized to say the dog is okay. Where’s the vet, who allegedly was on set 24/7?
No humane owner would never betray their dog’s trust for a lark… CBS should be ashamed! Everyone in Hollywood knows the moron producers lied to Laura, saying the vet approved bacon for the bone challenge, when Preston was already sick from salmonella poisoning and no vet in his right mind would feed a giant greasy bacon slice to a 7lb pomeranian. Preston had food poisoning, and Laura refused to ask him to paint. But leave it to Emmy award winning producer RJ Cutler to fool the public into thinking Laura is a lazy artistically-challenged tattle-tale … when everyone knows they kicked off Laura because they were scared she would shut down production. Laura fought day and night for Preston and the dogs, threatening to violate her contract and go public with the truth. I am appalled that CBS would let Actual Reality get away with this. I’m sure Laura is very happy to be done with it. And now it looks like JD has grounds for a law suit too! The post-GAD tell all will be interesting…
The right dog won. Pressley was very impressive for a 16 month old Boxer. Anyone who owns Boxers know at that age they are very hyper and don’t have a long attention span.
