Mablean made the show what it was. This new judge is a horrible wannabe judge Mablean. I dunno if it's just me but it looks like she tries acting just like her (the way she talks, her tone, attitude, etc).
It appears that Toler is trying a little too hard. To refer to Joe as much as she does, much like Mablean, makes me a little uncomfortable and Joe doesn'r look too enthused about it either. Mablean and Joe had built that relationship over years of working together. For Toler to carry on as if they had been fast friends in the same way is strange. Toler needs to be herself and not try to fill Mablean's shoes. No one can do that but Mablean.
give her a chance. Yes we were all used to mablean. but toler isnt bad. i dont thinks shes trying to fill ephriam shoes. and maybe joe will get more into it as the show goes on : )
i must say that when judge m left i was pissed but i have also noticed that judge toler has gotten better. before you could tell she was trying way too hard as she had big shoes to fill but now she seems more comfortable and seems to be more of herself.
