JUDGE Steve Harvey studio audience members have gotten fed up with a recent guest on Steve Harvey's show.
The Judge Steve Harvey crowd gave a guest on the show's premiere episode of the second season some nasty feedback after they took a swipe at one of Steve's preferences.
Today, Steve, 66, was joined in his courtroom by friends Vinny Borriello and Artie Pangaiotakos.
Artie, who was the plaintiff, sued his bestie Vinny, the defendant, for $1,800 after the latter refused to honor his winning bet when he participated in Vinny's survivor football pool.
Survivor foot pool is a game where fans choose a football team they'll think we will that week to gamble on.
Apparently, Artie wanted to sue his 35-year-long friend Vinny because he claimed that his actions were responsible for him losing.

"He asked me to join in some football survivor pool, I'm in. I always joined the pools and never won," Artie told Steve.
Artie added that Vinny took his money "right out of his pocket" because as he was about to win the $1,800, Vinny called him and told him that he was "eliminated."
Of course, Vinny disagreed, claiming that Artie "made a mistake."
Vinny, however, ended up making a mistake when he slammed Steve's favorite football team in order to argue his case later in the episode.

VINNY GETS VICIOUS
"Your honor, he's what I'm worried about. He likes the [New York] Jets. The Jets are kinda like a loser team," Vinny stated.
"I'm a little worried, no disrespect, but you love the Cleveland Browns. They could be considered a loser team too.
"I'm little worried you can be simpacto with this guy," Vinny added as he motioned to Artie.
Steve had already revealed earlier in the show, when Artie was talking, and reiterated while Vinny was talking, that he absolutely loved the Browns.
As soon as Vinny concluded, he was heavily booed by the audience for his assessment.
Steve even shot him an attitudinal look and told him to "wait a minute," conveying that he didn't take Vinny's ranting too kindly.
It appears that the premiere episode of Judge Steve Harvey's second season definitely brought the heat.
STEVE TAKES THE GAVEL
The show first premiered in 2022 and was an instant hit among viewers, so much so that fans wanted to know if he's really a judge.
In Steve's unscripted courtroom comedy series, he judges people's real-life conflicts that range from family disputes to sour friendships and everything in between.
He uses his own real-life experiences to give wisdom to the defendants, but he's not actually a judge.
However, the decisions on his show are legally binding, the Good Housekeeping reported.
Prior to the start of the show, Steve sat down with TVInsider to talk about the series, and what sets it apart from other similar programs, such as Judy Justice and Judge Jerry.
"I knew I had to just be myself," he told the outlet.
"Most judges are interested in the law: These are the facts, and that’s it. I’m going to dig up the story behind why people came to court vs. what they’re in court for.
"I lean on decades of experience dealing with all types of situations and people, and I rely on my street savvy, common sense and humor to get it done."
The people and cases on Judge Steve Harvey are real, and so are the settlements, but litigants are also paid for their appearance on the show.
An appearance on Judge Steve Harvey is worth $1,000, according to MysticArt Pictures, the show's official casting website.
In terms of judgments, those who go on the show are able to seek up to $10,000.
New episodes can be watched Tuesdays, starting at 9pm EST on ABC.
The show can also be streamed on Hulu with an active subscription.
