Yes. Funny, that.
Just like it's "funny" that it is impossible to tell the difference between her "psychic ailities" and lousy cold reading. |

Yes, and the typical deflection away from actually giving an answer, such as when asked who her next co-host would be she just says, "You haven't met him yet," and didn't give a name. On Montel, she used to give names for who murdered so and so. *shrug* Now she can't even give a vague description? Well, I suppose she did say "him" so she has a 50/50 shot at getting THAT right.

I am just thinking of the vast stupidity on that prediction in a cold read. Kelly Rippa has been hosting that show for over 10 years now. A part of that job is all about meeting people who are good in front of a camera. I find it highly unlikely that she would not have already met the eventual co-host as part of the show.

Ah...good point, that. I don't watch her show and totally forgot that it's a 'one of each sex' thing. You're right!
Anyway, this appearance may just become an update for Robert's page. I am curious as to what Sylvia's site says, but I always hesitate because I hate giving her a "click" credit on Google.

You can get around that in one of two ways.
1. Do not use Google. Have a link you keep yourself, on your favourites or elsewhere. 2. A few seconds after clicking on her site click on somewhere else, say this forum. That tells Google that the SB site was not what you were looking for, it was the second site that was useful. |

Thank you! I didn't know about those tricks. Ah...yes, she is featuring the short stint on Kelly. Her page is also just chocked full of 'membership' adverts and really pushing her books, newsletters, member questions, 'salons', and I see she even has podcasts. Urgh...
It seems she is pushing harder than ever for her son to take over more and more. He has a gentler-looking picture now (before, he sort of made me think of a thug) and there are ways to get a much cheaper reading from him. ![]() I still hope she leaves her grand-daughter out of all this. She must be close now to the age her son Chris was when she sat him down one day to take phone calls. |

I believe that Angelia (the granddaughter) is 14 or 15 yers old now, and that Chris (the son) was 17 years old when he joined the family's con.

Oh, that's right. He went in to her office one day and she plunked him down at the phone and just told him he could do it, iirc.
Well, at least Angelia may have a year or so left of freedom from the family's con. I really, really hope she stays far away from it. I think that her brother, according to Sylvia, is not psychic, so he's out of danger of corruption. At least I hope he is. |

Maybe she meant "has not met him yet...as a co-host." There...you see? Sylvia was right after all!

Has anyone contacted Kelly about this and asked if she would comment...on air preferably?

I contacted them (va their web ite) the day after I started this thread, expressing my displeasure that she had been on at all, and inviting them to check out my site. I never heard back from them at all.
I will contact them about a follow-up regarding the prediction once the guest host is in place, or at least has been officially hired, but I would not hold my breath on them actually following up. |

So much for Browne's prediction telling Kelly "you haven't met him yet".

If the prediction was anything credible then yes. For example whenever economic figures are released here they are compared with what economists expected. But since Browne is not a credible source and also wrong the prediction will now be forgotten. However if the prediction had been right, Browne could have used that to say this is evidence of how accurate she is.
