If the show is aired, we do get money, just did not find out how much. The girlfriend spoke to her, not me.
So we wait...I hate waiting!

Awesome dude. Why not get a paid trip to LA? Plus, you've clearly filed a case in small claims so that bitch that ruined your carpet is going to lose one way or the other. At least if it's settled on a "court" show, she'll be compensated.

The losing party does not actually need to pay the judgment, as such. Instead (as is stated in the disclaimer at the end of each show), both parties are paid from a fund (set up by Ralph Edwards-Stu Billett Productions). This fund was based on the amount of the lawsuit claim, but an exact formula was not stated. The fund was to be first divided equally, then any monetary judgment ordered was subtracted from the loser's half (and presumably both halves in the case of cross judgments). Each litigant received at least what remained of their half in shows concluding with that disclaimer.
