After six seasons and over 1,000 shows under his belt, Dr. Phil has met many memorable people. Today, he follows up with some of his most-talked-about guests. Rochelle and her husband, John, first met Dr. Phil nine years ago, when she became the poster child for controlling wives. She tracked John's soda intake, told him how to hold utensils and didn't want him to sweat while he slept. You won't believe the new demand Rochelle has for her husband! And, hear her message for all women who criticize her controlling ways. Next, the Dr. Phil staff traveled thousands of miles to the jungles of a third-world country in search of Mollie and Allene, who were taken by their father a year prior. Both girls were returned to their mother. Find out which daughter chose to return to the German Baptist lifestyle with her father and why the other is having a difficult time adjusting to her new way of life. Then, Shawn had earned one million dollars and spent it all. He was in debt almost $750,000 when his fiancée turned him in to Dr. Phil. Did he sell off his prized possessions, and did he and his fiancée finally tie the knot? Plus, 10 years ago, Jo Ann was struggling with the unsolved murder of her 18-year-old daughter. When she met with Dr. Phil during his appearance on Oprah, she revealed her plan to take her life. See how she's doing today and the surprises Dr. Phil has in store for her! Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

When he let his guard down for just a second,

I seemed to see a very scared and vulnerable little boy, not a successful man. I *was* married to someone who, in my case, my scared little boy ex would never let me grow, spread my wings, excel, delight in 'me'. So I'm not interested in dating Shawn at all... what I'm hoping for in my life is someone who loves me so much that I am brought to tears each time I think of him and his tremendously pure love for me.

John and Rochelle

Ok Rochelle, I'll "have at it"! John, I think you look awesome and those crows feet (pardon the lady's expresseion) make you look cute and smiley, not cranky! Secondly, I have been attempting to do MY OWN home improvements without the help of a man and your kitchen and floor are quite wonderful too! I would love to have a kitchen like that! Rochelle, get over it and buy smaller plates. My husband of 9 years treated me horribly with temper tantrums and cheating and then would try to convince it was all my fault and manipulate me into staying. I've been raising two kids alone for the past 14 years who are nearly grown and would have loved a generous person like John to partner with. Rochelle, if you love your husband you better get some quick intensive psychotherapy and figure out why you are so insecure and need him to keep proving his love to you!!!! - do you love him enough to consider his feelings at all? He is not your slave! And John, maybe on some level you are repeating that "not good enough feeling" from your dad and are still trying to prove your worth by attempting to please her? You can set limits with her by not being mean, be the grownup. Or if you too have it had it, John they'd be hundreds of women out there who would love you as you are ! I'd love to meet you but I live in New England, alas............Good Luck! rwhewell@net

JoAnn Still Moves Me

Dear Dr. Phil & Robin,

God bless JoAnn, she still moves me. It seemed so very important to her to try to convey the gratitude in her heart for Dr. Phil and the importance of what he did for her. I have noticed that Dr. Phil is so very humble that seems he is not comfortable with accepting that praise. Dr. Phil it is OK and sometimes important to the other person, for you to accept that gratitude and then you can add a comment to let them know they deserve credit for taking the action. From experience, I know how important it can be to feel confident that the person to whom you feel so grateful to really gets how grateful you are and the impact they had on your life.

God bless both of you for the work you do.

Love you both

Controlling...

Dr. Phil, made an observation about controlling people, running out of energy, to continue controlling things as they get older... I only have to look as far as my mother... as a template for what the poor lady on TV is headed for. My mother is frustrated, and on nerves edge... she has gained over 100 pounds, eating to cover the frustration... and now is driving family members away, because she cannot convince them to do all the things she wants.

Granted, her mobility is limited... and what can be done for her is... but when you try to control everyone, eventually they tune you out at best, or avoid you at worst.

It is a shame...

Afraid?

Quote From: vixx93

I cant believe that she has the nerve to tell other women to take there chance if they can make him happy bring it on. Well I think he needs to go be happy. She isnt anything but a huzzy. She needs to realize that she is the one thats LUCKY!!!!!!!! I have a wonderful husband and I wouldn't even think about telling him that he looks bad, I think we work together and hes my best friend. She isn't going to help their relationship by the way she acts, its pitiful!!!!!!!!

Fear... I am not so sure... What I perceived, is that Rochelle, is not reall willing to change... and when someone is THAT determined, you sort of are wasting your breath... Perhaps, he senses this?

Very sad ... really

What kind of woman degrades a man like Rochelle does? Why does John take the abuse. What right is it of Rochelles to DEMAND her husband wait on her hand and foot. John does not need botox Rochelle needs an attitude adjustment. He needs the "nerve" to tell her where to go is what he needs. He needs to tell her "get your own water, turn on your own damn light" What would happen if she leaves him a "list of things to do" and he outright ignores the list and just sits around and does "nothing" all day as a form of protest? What right does she have to deny him soda? ** shakes head ** I guess he likes it maybe?? Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with her wrath if he disobeys her. He just needs to sit up and get some "attitude" and tell her NO. And then go out and buy himself the soda he deserves.

oh rochelle

Soory to be so blunt, but someone needs to teach this ***** a lesson. She is manipulative and just plain mean. But her husband is obviuolsy an idiot for not spekaing up. It seems like he likes being treated like dirt! I cant belive how she talks and acts on the show. Its like she thinks she is the best thing since sliced bread. She was telling her hubby he needs botox. Well maybe she should take a look at herself first. Oh and how she said that she would like to see another women try to get her man and to come and get him. Well i wish he would go out with another women, then maybe she would appreciate him more.

one more thing rochelle

I hope that you come on here and read all these messeges. You need to wake up! You have a awesome husband. He does not beat you, mistreat you, cheat on you, etc. You should be happy to be so lucky as to have found a nice handsome man like him. Let me tell ya if you lose him you will never find another man that will put up with your bad attitude!!!

Let That Old BAG GO!!!

I am sorry Jhon but to keep putting up with her BS... I just would not do it at all!

You are a VERY HOT MAN!!! She is just jelous because everyone knows it and you more then likely get all the attention she wants...

I am 27 years old and I would be with you in a heart beat!!! But I am a very faithful lady to family and husband!! Do not change anything about your self!!

Rochell on the other hand OMG you LOOK OLD!! Did you ever take a look at your self in the mirror? Is that why you bug him so much because you don't like your self?

I see those wrinkles under your eyes!! Maybe you need to get more work on your self...lol

Ya know lady you are pretty guttsy, because once he finds a woman who love him for who he is, and treats him like a Man and a boyfriend not a SON! He will leave your but behind and never look back.

Then YOU will wish you would have kept your mouth shut because you never know what you have until it is gone.

If I were you I would grow up leave him alone because he is not a little boy you can shove around and one day he is going to leave you because he will get tired of your crap, YOU WILL BE SORRY!

john and rochelle

I really enjoyed the show today as I do everyday even though my husband and I travel in our RV all over the country. I couldn't believe my eyes today though. I actually worked with John in car sales back in the 80's at a toyota dealer in Nevada. He is just a super guy and probably too nice for he's own good. I am glad to see that Dr. Phil is doing the wonderful shows that he is so known for, rather than some of the stuff I watched last year. I know that ratings are important, but I think it's even more important to help people. Your show has turned my life around in the last 4-5 years. I had breast cancer back in June of 2003, had a radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation and watched your show faithfully thru all that torment. I realized how lucky I was to be alive and how many others had it alot worse just by watching the show. Thank you for the great job you do everyday and god bless you, Dr. Phil. The world is alot better place because you are in it. Thanks for being there everyday for me.
