Steve Harvey has returned to reality TV but as a judge on his newest show, Judge Steve Harvey. It led to some out of the ordinary verdicts.

Steve Harvey, known for Family Feud and his talk show, is actually now a reality TV judge and it's as wild as you might expect. Judge Steve Harvey is his entry into the television world of small claims court.

Harvey admits he isn’t a real judge, just a talk show personality who tries to use common sense to help people solve their problems. That makes it so his verdicts are unusual and that actually makes them more memorable than ones from real judges.

Bell was suing Hoopes for $1263.88 for costs due to an illegitimate vacation she won in a charity raffle. Someone else was meant to win the vacation but when they refused the prize, it went to Bell and the trip organizers were unmotivated to guarantee the trip would go on. Bell only discovered this when she arrived at Atlantic City and was forced to pay for everything.

Harvey orders Hoopes to pay Bell $738.88. He also takes his own money and gives Bell $5000 so she can take a legitimate VIP trip with her friends. This case raises awareness of how a lack of communication can screw someone over. Hoopes and the other trip organizers set up an elaborate plan and it backfired, leading to chaos and this appearance on Judge Steve Harvey.

This married couple was suing each other for $5000. Devin‘s wife won’t come to bed with him on time, while Cherechi claims she’s lost time and money because of her husband’s restrictive schedule. Devin is a traditional man who likes to be in charge while Cherechi is a stay-at-home mom with a creative spirit.

Harvey doesn’t award either of them their desired amount of money. He instead gives his verdict in the form of great advice and $3000 so the couple can go on date nights. He shares that compromise is the key to a happy relationship. Devin and Cherechi love each other but as Harvey points out, they need to find a healthy middle ground.

Kevin Tribble was suing his son for $4800 in back rent and a signed rental contract. When his son returned home from college, he was very messy, so if Junior was to stay at home, Kevin Tribble made him sign a rental agreement and pay him back rent. Junior claimed he’s not as bad as his Dad said and didn't believe he should have to pay anything.

Harvey, host of a long-running game show, sides with the father, awarding him the $4800, the signed rental contract, and an extra $4000 that Junior needs to pay back his dad. Audiences may have had mixed reactions to this verdict but Harvey brought his own experience with his father and his sons into this case and decided to teach all young adults a lesson.

Here, Zavala was suing Cruz for $6057.55 in medical bills accrued from an accident. Both young men were riding down a street when Cruz allegedly pushed Zavala, causing him to tumble and break his leg. Cruz ordered an Uber to bring them to the hospital despite Zavala’s unusual dream of riding in an ambulance. Zavala alleged Cruz promised to pay for expenses while Cruz denied pushing his friend and agreeing to pay.

Harvey awards Zavala $200 because he believes Cruz pushed his friend and should cover some of the medical costs. He also awards Zavala an additional $3000 because Cruz denied Michael a chance to ride in an ambulance. This decision is incredibly silly but Harvey’s delivery was hilarious. Never mind the medical bills, Cruz cost his friend a dream come true and he ended up having to pay for it!

Funlola was suing her brother for $1500 that he didn’t pay after losing a game of pool. Funlola isn’t great at the sport, she simply got lucky. So Steve tried teaching her how to play and Daniel joined in. It led to a game between the three that Harvey ended up winning.

Harvey awards Funlola $1000, and he gives the siblings $1000 to use for future game nights. The inclusion of a game of pool in this suit is fun while Harvey wiping the floor with the two kids offers great entertainment value. He uses this game to determine his verdict, giving them both something to walk away with.

Jones was suing Romca for $4800 for breaking his promise to marry her and the cost of a party she wants to throw with everyone who was supposed to be involved in the wedding. Romca was countersuing for $2300 for a lost engagement ring and the cost of a metal detector. Romca no longer wants to get married, seemingly because of superstitions.

Steve awards Jones $10,000 for the party. He sympathizes with her pain as she deserves a better outcome with this relationship. David comes off as having something to hide. They have kids, they’re still together, and yet, this is how he stands. $10,000 is a large sum of money but Harvey—and audiences—may find it reasonable considering the heartbreak she’s endured.

Desing was suing Andrew over an unfulfilled bet as Andrew was supposed to eat herring because the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl. He previously tried to uphold the bet but threw up after eating two of the fish. Harvey understands both sides of the debate and challenges Andrew to eat one herring to finish the bet and Jack to eat three.

The boys complete the challenge and Harvey awards them each $2000. There is something strange about these two scarfing down herring on live television when the bet was so silly to begin with. Harvey expresses his belief that they are honorable men and he especially relates to Andrew who has a smart communication style that allows others to sympathize with him.

Lupe was suing his Malavasi for $3400 in back rent. Carolina is from another country and has struggled to find stable work. The money she earns either goes to Brian or into savings for financial protection. Steve gives Brian the decision on the verdict, the money or his girlfriend? Brian chooses the money.

Harvey awards Brian $3400, but he agrees to pay it himself. He also gives Carolina $5000 because he understands the position she is in. The courtroom audience loves Carolina from the moment she opens her mouth. She is likable and won’t let anyone take away her confidence. Her relationship with Brian is at the center of this case which appears to be extremely toxic for both of them.

Here, Jackson was suing Crutcher for $650 for professional shots she paid for but never got. They did the shoot but Crutcher‘s camera got misplaced. David used Aleah’s money to buy a new camera and failed to communicate further with her.

Harvey awards Aleah the $650 but pays it himself so David owes him instead. To pay him back, he agrees to have David come shoot the show for the next three days. Harvey’s verdict is very generous as he gives David a chance to show off his talent while making things right with Aleah. Audiences may be curious to hear how his time on the show went and how he’s changed since then.

Robert was suing his wife, a Steelers fan, for $500 for destroying his Browns memorabilia. According to Cynthia, it was the worst Steelers game in history against the Browns, so Robert gloated and Cynthia destroyed his throwback jersey. Still upset, Cynthia said she won’t pay her husband regardless of the verdict.

Steve doesn’t award money to anyone in this case. Instead, he gives Rob two autographed jerseys and tickets to a couple of Steelers and Browns games. As a ‘punishment,’ Steve rules that Cynthia must wear one of the Browns jerseys to the game. Anyone with a favorite sports team can relate to both Rob and Cynthia. It is easy to get enraged or extremely excited during a game. Cynthia just acted on impulse when she destroyed the jersey. Steve's gifts to them are brilliant and clever; it’s any fan’s dream.
