How I loathe her! She is so fake and so full of herself! I love Montel Williams but I can't figure out what the deal is with him giving her control of one of his shows every week. There must be some money in it for him, is all I can figure.
Does anyone here believe she is really psychic? If so....WHY? People ask her lame questions and she pulls answers out of her ass and they believe her! "Will I have children?" "Yes, two." WOW.
"Is my dead mother watching over me?" "Yes". (cringe)
She claims to know everything about everyone. She doesn't even hesitate with her answers...just says whatever comes to her mind.
And then the religious stuff (as if she is the authority) mixed in with telling people about all the lives they've had...and the ding bats are eating all this up as if it's based on anything other than what comes out of her mouth at the time.
Her voice is grating and she is disgustingly fat...but mostly she just reeks of bullsh*t!
So...is it just me? :D

I'm 1/2 and 1/2 with her.....I feel she does have some insight , but is feeding off for $$$$ . Too bad, as I do feel some people have more powers than others. I really can related with many of her readings.

She's a big fake. I took a "pseudoscience" course in college, and the professer was amazing. He *used* to be a magician and psychic in his younger days. He would do "psychic" readings in class that were just astounding.

Once, he gave me an envelope and a piece of paper before class. He asked me to go to a very private place and draw a picture. Not a stick figure, but something very definitive and hard to counterfit. I was then to seal the picture in the envelope, put it in my backpack and go to class as normal. I was not to approach him at all after I finished the drawing (not hard in a class of over 100 people). I went into a stall in the ladies' restroom, and did exactly as I was told. I drew a picture of a dog balancing a bone on its nose. I was very suspicious and kept my eye on my backpack the whole time. At the very beginning of class, he gave a brief explaination of what he had asked of me, turned on an overhead projector....AND DREW A PICTURE OF A DOG WITH A BONE ON ITS NOSE! He then asked "Is this what you drew?" I produced the envelope and drawing from my backpack. Still sealed. I still don't know how he did it.

He told us flat-out that everything he did was not real "psychic powers" or "magic". It took an immense amount of skill and practice, but there was absolutely no "psychic" power involved. He would not ever reveal his methods, since he said he did not believe in giving away the secrets of those who made a living by being "psychic". But he did say that there have been "psychics" since the Middle Ages, and that modern psychics use the exact same methods now that they used back then.

I do believe that some have a gift for Sight, but there is something inherently wrong in using it for personal gain. But hey, both sides of my family are Celt, and we're a wee bit fey ;)
