You still watch that guy?

I have not seen his show in at least 3 years. He is not worth the time.

I usually like what he has to say (unless it’s anti- FreeRepublic), but his obvious self absorbed, egotistical personality is a major turn off so I don’t watch. The body language girl is the least of it.

Geez, and to think, I have to work for a living.

“certified Hypnotist”

Same thing as a certified chiropractor only more BS and friends you don’t really want to have around.

Funny. Good post.

I’d rather see Joe Navarro doing the “body language” segments. He’s a retired FBI counterintelligence guy who’s paid big bucks to teach poker players to read and understand “tells” (body language) of other players.

And yeah, Rosy’s “congruent” all right. Most crazy people are.

Reading body language is a valid activity and its even more valuable in specific circumstances: interview and interrogation, jury selection, intelligence analysis, etc.

But Tanya R. just really isn’t very good. She should just admit 2/3rds of the time that it is impossible for her to give any kind of meaningful interpretation based on 10 seconds of video while viewing a subject she has never seen before.

Also, if she is a hypnotist then she is probably also doing other stuff which is somewhere close to made up. I know this is hard for a lot of people to digest, but hypotism doesn’t exist. There literally is no such thing. There is nothing happening. There is no way to prove that anything at all is taking place therefore it is a totally imagined event. It is literally just one person talking to another in an authoritative way. No trances, no seances, no special powers.

Its simply talking - kinda like when Hillary was ‘talking’ to Eleanor Roosevelt back in 1993. Any possible gains are from positive suggestion which results from the subjects own willingness to believe it. (IE, its all in ones own mind).

If somebody is putting ‘hypnotist’ on their card or resume’, they might as well put ‘con artist’ or ‘faith healer’ as well.

Tonya is HOT!!!!!

I wonder what Tonya would surmise if she could see all the TV viewers sneering and rolling their eyes or shaking their heads, then reaching for the remote.

"...we hear how “congruent” Rosy O’Donnell is, how she so believes everything she says......"

Of course she does, Rosy the moronic carpet muncher is as ignorant as she is ugly --- and that's a LOT of ugly..

The funny thing is, a few days after this thread was posted, there was the story about the TSA looking for small body cues from the way that people answer simple questions about where they're going, what they're carrying, etc.
