Have a defendant and plaintiff on a court show like "Judge Judy" ever conspired to scam the show?

Wapner had some style in his decisions. I remember a flustered plaintiff being awarded $1. Another case he threw out because it was about $3 in damages. Judge Judy just likes to yell at people. Her husband Judge Jerry did the People’s Court for a while, and he just seemed to be annoyed to be there in the first place.
