Default About the whole suing thing... why are people taking this so seriously?

Why are people taking this thing so, so seriously? Maybe there is a difference of culture because threatening to "sue" someone is used more flippantly in the states. It shouldn't really be taken too seriously until they ACTUALLY do sue you which is very rare. It's more of a way of trying to throw fear into someone. And she threatened to sue when she was clearly in an angry mood and not sober. Her twin talked sense into her but I doubt she'd ever seriously was even going to consider going through with her threat to sue anyways.

Off the top of my head, I can think of one example with the whole suing thing you may not have been aware of. A couple years ago, a very prominent radio host named Michael Savage (millions of listeners) threatened to sue the British government for banning him from entering the country. I don't believe he did end up suing them even though he had the money to do so.

I'm a little surprised at how reactionary everyone is. If you're not going to vote for the twins, please don't say it's for this reason because it really is silly. My first impressions were that their threat to sue was funny. Come on, these girls are HILLARIOUS. It's funny that so many don't see that. The fact that Frankie's polling numbers have practically doubled tells me that this is a very reactionary board. He was in hiding for most of the show and now he's going to win because of one good night? Now that's silly.

I don't have a vote but if I did I would 100% vote for the twins and I'll give my reason. None of them have fooled me because I know they are all there for the wrong reasons whether it's to make money or advance their careers. To various degrees they're all fake. They're all phonies. They all are playing to win. Therefore, the only standard I would feel appropriate to judge them on is entertainment. And no one has been more entertaining than the twins.

Don't take this suing thing so seriously because there clearly is a difference in culture.
