Dr. Phil has often said that his guests are “teaching tools” (aka guinea pigs) for the viewing public This week, three fighting couples enter the Dr. Phil House, a virtual Habitrail, to teach us what I learn from most of his episodes–that I am way better off than those guests! The most notable difference between these couples and past feuding family members is that these three women are as aggressive (if not more) than their husbands and are able to stand up to Dr. Phil without looking too stupid. Aside from the “teaching tool” motive, is the linchpin of Phil’s calling in this world: To Save the Children. I side with him on that issue and it is one of the reasons my TiVo is still set to The Dr. Phil Show.
