"Had to leave my kids with my mom" Had To.

This season is full of failure.

I can't imagine taking care of someone Tammy's size, let alone with a trachea. Just washing her up would take forever, let alone all the gear she needs and that nasty temper. It'd be miserable for everyone in the house.

Lmao at how impressed we all are that he wore pants 🤣

I saw in the chat alot of people thought his dad was mean, but I just saw a father who has Had it. His son is 42! And refuses to grow up, refuses to get the help he needs to be an independent,grown man, talks nonstop about what he wants to do, but never actually Does anything. Mark's not some teenager. I don't blame him for being hostile at this point. He called his Dad a dick, I think? Just because his dad told him he had to move out. That's his only move left to force this manchild to grow up.

Im always astounded that these families can afford feeding their 600 pounders these enormous meals all day, every day. His breakfast alone had to cost $50 at least. And you know they're not only eating three times a day. Plus, fast food isn't cheap anymore. I don't get it.

Thats the norm for this show now. The whole script is written to serve a handful of one liners. NONE of their storylines are realistic, and the characters change their backstories every week to serve 'zingers'. And with each week, they all grow more heinous as people, except Ben and Mark who need to run as far away from these miserable users as fast as they can.

Probably fake, just Iike the stupid “I need to talk to Tina. Should we ask Megan to step out?” Nonsense

Only saw the last ten minutes, but feel like I saw the whole episode.

Wish we could’ve seen how their abdomens looked after the surgery.

I liked Syreeta, too. She mostly stayed positive and, shockingly, in spite of the filthy condition of their house, always looked well put together. I don't know where she found so many outfits in her size...excluding the tights, yikes. Her husband seemed nice, but like he could barely work up the energy to speak. Was shocked to see a smile on his face that one time. I hope she succeeds. I also hope that cat is ok..we never did see it again... Always laugh at how over it Dr Now's nurses always seem. They should do a scowl off with Syreeta's husband.

I felt for Amy between the hormones making her emotional and insecure, being overwhelmed with two crying babies, everyone watching and Then she makes the 'forklift' crack and I'm like-Sigh. Amanda has a good heart. I was glad Someone got up to help. In my family , we let the new Mom and Dad eat their food while it's still hot and take care of the kids. So, was weird to me to see them keep eating and not help, but could've been editing.

Whenever they ask if the furniture stays, especially if it’s brand new, it’s so obvious that’s already their house lol These two were like sisters from another mister. They really jelled. The bachelor pad was a hoot. Astroturf in the bathroom? That’s a first. I love the episodes that don’t include the fake “Person A wants charm/projects/city center, but Person B wants modern/move-in ready/country” Drop that nonsense already. It’s so annoying.

Did Michael have chew in during the delivery? Lol maybe it’s just his mouth shape, but it looked like it on his hospital video

I’m glad Tammy continued therapy privately. I don’t think any therapy should be televised. You’re not going to be 100% honest when you know you’ll be judged by the public.

I felt for Amy’s anxiety about having two babies to care for without her husband’s help. She was so overwhelmed and scared. Happy for Tammy making her weight goal, but her coquettish grinning about it made me cringe. I know, I’m a horrible person, but it was just uncomfortable. Good for her though. Hope she’s able to continue losing. Did I see panic on the eyes of the siblings when she told them? Like-uh oh-that means they’ll release her soon? Lol Never had gator, but, as always, Chris’ enthusiasm was infectious.

I feel like the episode description doesn't match what we saw?

I watched the peacock one too. That off campus apartment wasn’t even his. He asked to stay on a friends couch for a short while. The friend Traveled a lot so didn’t mind. Then, Larry kept bringing more and more kids in, took over and did crappy renovations, etc. took the guy 6 years to get him out. 3 to get an eviction and 2-3 more to get someone to uphold the eviction. Just crazy!

There’s an article in the Feb 20 People Magazine on Felicia that mentions things not shown on the series-unless I missed them….that Larry would beat her until she was black and blue, forced them to sleep with strangers and make sex tapes which he would use to blackmail money out of their parents (I wondered why they’d give so much money to him. That makes more sense than they ‘damaged his property’) He would make her sleep on the porch while working for weeks planting sod…she tried to kill herself with pills in the apartment and he caught her and dragged her out by her hair and told Isabella-“Don’t let this bitch kill herself again” It was even worse than the Stolen Youth series presented. Crazy to me how anyone can fall for this. As soon as he started with his Marines stuff, I’d have known he was bullshit because no one I know who served brags about it like that. He sounded on the tapes like a typical mansplaining douchebag to me But I guess we all think it could never happen to us. Still, every time one of these guys are exposed, Im always left confused, like “Him!?! Really???”

They needed to hire older writers who were familiar with the original run because these changes are awful. Would it really have been so hard to write funny, poignant storylines that were accurate? Of course, I’d have acted like anything including the lottery win never happened, but changing Bev into a complete monster is such Lazy writing. Part of the authenticity of original Roseanne was accepting how family members could be flawed, yet there’s still love and good sides to them, too. Everyone’s so one dimensional on the Connors and it really wasn’t necessary after they spent years fleshing out whole multi-dimensional human beings. Drives me nuts. They’d have been better off creating a separate series with new actors because there’s nothing here that’s from the original anymore. Plus, I want to kidnap Ben and Mark and put them on a better show.

Low impact is all they should be doing for now. That kind of weight slamming down on their ankles and knees is a recipe for disaster. They did do some low impact stuff, the walking, bike, pulley weights. It was just too much all at once. The point is to make exercise something you can motivate yourself to do even if you hate it. Not make it so painful and humiliating that you despise every second of it. But this is tv. They always have to 'Biggest Loser' the hell out of all the obese people just for daring to exist.

Vanessa has such thin legs, what a relief it’ll be for her to get that stomach cut off! And I nearly missed her say someone pushed her off a balance beam and she was in a hip to ankle cast, in hospital for a year? Damn! Her attitude is 180 from the first time we saw her. She’s really motivated. I can see how her digs can sting different now that she’s the thinnest, but Megan is too resentful of her success.

Nothing would motivate me less than someone busting into my room uninvited with a bullhorn, yelling Wake Up! Wake Up! I’d have left that farm day one. I hate that ‘break you down to build you up’ crap. I wouldn’t have screamed at everyone, but I wouldn’t have been all rah rah we walked on the boards! woohoo! high-fiving everyone. I hate that crap. Lol

Too bad, I liked her in the beginning. She’s a hardcore food addict. Needs at least 6 months inpatient help.

They put them in Room 5 😂
