When women fought, at times they would rip the wigs that they wore right off and sometimes the wigs themselves would be thrown into the audience. When there were two guys brawling, sometimes the ladies would take advantage of the guards breaking up the males fighting which would allow them to brawl once again. When the women fought, it was usually with one or both of them grabbing the hair and not letting go. Some of the brawls had even been between a man and a woman, especially when the woman was revealed to be transgender and the man did not realize it. At the end of each segment, Springer would ask what would happen to the participants from that point. Occasionally, they would get back together, but more often than not, the relationships were over for good, and the case will be closed on this one. There would be various recurring acts involved in the stories, one of which would be that an off-stage doorbell will sound and Jerry would announce in an exaggerated voice, ""The Doorbell! I'll get it!"" When he would answer the door, it would usually be someone bringing in something that would be tied in with the situation at hand, such as a cake, a bunch of flowers or brownies or things of a similar variety. Oftentimes, these deliveries would not bode well for the guest, as it would, at best, be a cover for a confession of some kind of wrongdoing committed against the guest, or, at worst, something that would reveal someone who would be bragging about the wrongdoing; or something that would be considered as an insult to the guest, i.e., a mother being called a "slut". Sometimes, guests would bring bouquets of flowers, boxes of candy, (on one occasion, even a scrapbook or photograph album) or stuffed animals, among other things, as an offering to the person they want to be with. Almost inevitably, these would be destroyed by the angered outside party. Sometimes, the bouquet of flowers itself would be used as a weapon on the interloping adversary. Occasionally, the fights themselves would be where the scorned guest would be on the catwalk above the stage where they would throw things, such as eggs or other foods, at the target of their wrath. Once finished there, the guest would come back down to the stage, where the usual brawling would commence. At various times, some guests would recite poetry, rap, or even sing (more often in a Country Music style) in an effort to plead their cases to the people they've hurt.
