I have been a dedicated viewer since the start of the show airing. Admired Steve because he was a Police Officer and Marine. Always looked forward to it! But, i do have to say i was very disappointed when my best friend (Who is also a dedicated viewer)and I set aside everything and drove from New york, paid for a hotel, travel expenses and more to see the show. I am a retired Police officer and was hoping to at least shake the hand of Steve and say thank you. But, we also were informed to dress to impress because we would be on TV. All they showed were the pretty girls in the Audience. We bragged we were going to see the show and hundreds of our friends couldn't wait to see us on the show. I guess in closing, that when your famous, you should thank your fans. Always thought you should shake the hands of people who made you famous. Not to be a smartass or anything but, i remember Jerry Springer shaking many hands of his fans. Signed, lost 2 fans.
