I don't have a pool but we have friends that do, and it is a lot of work to maintain. Even if they did clean it up, I can't imagine they would maintain it. And I did not hear anyone mention anything about cleaning it up. I know we don't see any hear everything but they sure made a point to show us how bad it was.

Me too! There is something so off about him. He does not seem genuine at all. Amy can do what she wants but it is hard to think of those kids living there with him. I agree about the pool too. Amy talks about having family get togethers, but there is no mention of how badly the pool needs cleaned up and I'm sure there are plenty of issues with it. Obviously it is not maintained. I think Tammy said they should just fill it in. I agree. I would not trust them to put up a child proof fence. Well even if they don't fill it in, it needs to be drained. Still dangerous though. I just don't trust them to keep an eye on 2 very active little boys. The inside of the house needs some TLC, and it would be ok but I guess they just think putting locks on the cabinets is all the childproofing they need. The whole situation makes me nervous. And it's because I think that Brian will be a distraction to Amy. Not sure what he is in to - but he made a comment about just wanting to get something to help Amy. I took it as he got her the pot to help with the stress and pain of the camel bite but that pot and mushrooms were in their vehicle before that happened. I think. Eh, I am far too invested in this show.

I'm so happy for Tammy! And I like how she explained why she didn't want to do the plunge. I think well meaning people can try to push others to face their fears or step outside their comfort zone, but they do not always understand the reason for the hesitations or refusals to do something. I'm just saying there is an art to knowing when to nudge and when to back off. Tammy made me laugh when she could not even attempt to go along with her doc's little joke. She could not wipe that smile off her face. Amy and her fiance can plan whatever wedding they want but they can't be mad when people don't want to go because it makes them uneasy. This is not just about them not liking the venue. This goes deeper. I don't know anything about this place they chose but just because Amy thinks it's cool and all in fun doesn't mean others don't take it more seriously. So is Amy going to ask for another surgery? I think just getting her diet on track would help a lot. And I'm glad to know that Amy's kids are geniuses. Because I am not a genius, I had to looked up how to pluralize genius. I also checked to make sure pluralize is a word and I am using it correctly.

I noticed how Brian kept looking off into the distance when they were all talking after the open house. It's probably just something he does when he feels awkward but I thought it was odd. Well the whole thing was odd. I'm sure it is hard for the siblings to be happy for Amy when so many of her decisions are not in her and her children's best interest. They know she is impulsive and that they are the ones likely to pick her up when she falls. And her decisions do not just affect her anymore. Is that chiropractor scan thing for real? Anyone had that done? I have never been to a chiropractor, so I don't know much about it. But that is the first time I have seen that scan thing. I wonder if Brittany will just quit the soda, or try to cut back, or switch to diet soda. The best of luck to her! I think she will kill it!

Regarding Amy not being as slim as she thinks she is, I do agree. But then when they show flashbacks of where they started, you are reminded how far they have come. All of them. I also don't think that Amy is doing anything to try and lose more weight or shape up. If she is happy how she is, that is her business. Tammy looks like if she got rid of all that loose skin , she would be absolutely tiny and petite. Carrying as much weight as she did for as long as she did, took it's toll on her but if she could get rid of that loose skin, she would be more mobile. I think she looks like some weight training would be really good for her to build some muscle. Someone has mentioned if Chris having a food truck was a good idea. But he does love to cook and maybe being creative for others is a good outlet. Remember the show Cheers -- Sam, the alcoholic , owned the bar. lol The thing with food though, is that you can't just quit. We all have to eat. I think though, when I think about Chris' collection of grills and smokers, that he has it in his blood and if he was cooking for his food truck he would be able to enjoy these foods, without being faced with having so much of it for him and his family to eat. I question every week why I watch this show. Then in doesn't take long for Amy to fart or talk about farting, and I question myself even more. I can laugh at a fart joke but she grosses me out. But I've watched it for this long, I'm invested in them. And there are some things I hope they continue . More on their quest for loose skin removal and Brittany's surgery.

Amy makes this show hard to watch, a lot of the time. I have never seen anyone so proud of their farts. I can take a fart joke or two. I'm not clutching my pearls or anything but good grief Amy. Everyone farts so it's not a special talent. And it is hard to watch an adult woman behave like a 10 year old boy. Right now, I am interested in Tammy and Chris getting skin removal and Brittany getting her approval for surgery. I am also much more interested in Tammy and her partner, than I am in anything Amy is doing. I think it's legit for Amy to be annoyed with Amanda living in her house and seemingly taking over. But on the other hand, if Amy was by herself with her kids, she would be whining about how hard it is, with 2 small kids and how much work and how she has to do it all herself. Oh poor Amy. 🙄 If they didn't have all the drama, we wouldn't watch, but I could do with less about Amy. We don't seem to see a lot about Misty but she is probably far too drama free to have much of a story line. lol

S03.E08: The Good, The Bad and the Hungry
mishap replied to CrazyInAlabama's topic in 1,000 Pound Best Friends
Hated the stylist. Meghan could hardly walk. They were all awful, imo. And they all looked better at the luncheon. Maybe they took some of the stylists advice and made it suit them better. They seemed more comfortable, even if they were spanxed to the max. lol And did Vanessa say Meghan was not happy for her and her weight loss? I barely pay attention to some parts of this show and I’ve heard her congratulate her, and seemed genuine. Probably just more producer driven drama. -
S03.E07: Pouty With a Chance of Meatballs
mishap replied to CrazyInAlabama's topic in 1,000 Pound Best Friends
No mistakes were made, or the restaurant not researched thoroughly enough. I doubt Scott made the plans. All these types of things are producer driven. Maybe the cast members have an idea or suggestion. But the producers take over and make sure we have them doing crazy stuff. Wasn't Meghan right about taking the skin off the chicken? I know that Vanessa was also right -fried is fried - but taking the skin off would have helped a lot. But maybe that is covered in their pre and post op diets - no fried anything, even chicken with the skin off. But in any cast, Vanessa could have let someone else finish a sentence. They could have left, they could have asked if there was any way to get some grilled or baked chicken, or some kind of protein, and asked if they could get some veggies without all the butter, etc. And if not , then you can politely leave because not everyone in your party can find something to eat. Who I like and don't like really shifts on this show, moment to moment. I just get annoyed with the producer driven drama. I felt like them cooking at the cabin was probably more real. Too many cooks in the kitchen, can be very annoying. But sheesh, if you don't like something you don't have to eat it or choke it down, to not be rude. I think it was a genuine question, like what is missing from the meatballs, not just someone saying that these meatballs suck. lol . I think Ashley thought something probably got left out. Well it doesn't matter but these big emotional blow ups over the silliest little things, is over done on this show and the other one, 1000 lb sisters. I missed it where Meghan wants another surgery. I have seen her episode of Too Large and she has come a long way, but still has a long way to go. Has she talked to Dr Procter, and does she have a goal, or is she just talking about it? I don't know when she had her first surgery, but her Too Large episode aired in 2021. Seems a little too soon to be asking for a revision. Maybe that is more common than I think. Even though both the shows I watch has had a repeat surgery. -
S03.E06: String Cheese, as Far as the Eye Can See

String cheese seems like such an odd thing over which to lose control. -
The farting and crude humor has over stayed it's welcome, as far as I'm concerned. I know it is their personality and I never minded it at first but I think they think that is why people watch the show. Their jokes are tired. Yeah, spotted dick , ha ha ha, oh and there's cream. I am just tired of the obvious and overdone attempts at humor. Why was Amy so upset at that Mayflower place? I know the steps were hard for Tammy. But Tammy is able to say no and opt out. We've seen that before. I don't know what kind of laws there for for accommodating the handicapped in England. Some of the old buildings might be exempt from being handicapped accessible? I do not know. But I think Amy was on the verge of making a scene about it, and that is why they told her to hush. They should have let her go. She is not a child. I thought they had a thread for the 1000 lb Best friend show. I can't find it anymore. But anyway, it reminded me of the time when they went on a glamping trip and the one lady had to run around outside naked, and another was so embarrassed. I thought that was awful behavior and I do not blame the other lady for being upset. There are other people staying there who might not be thrilled to see a 400 something pound naked lady running around. I guess my point is, that I understand if someone else's behavior can be embarrassing when you are with them. It does reflect on you to a point. People should be themselves and not be afraid of that but also, in public places you need to have some consideration for other people.

Tammy is wearisome. Anytime the answer is not what she wants to hear, she shuts down. I am sure a lot of this drama is producer driven. But Tammy just sitting in the van and not even saying good bye to Amanda was pretty ridiculous. Well maybe she did and they didn't show it. I wondered if she really put the window up when she was asked to come out and say a prayer with her family, or if that was some creative editing. Because if she really wants to be that nasty, then she should not have bothered to come. She would get no points from me from showing up, not when she is showing up just to be rude. No Chris, you do not have to go, just because Tammy is mad and said so. I wish he would have told her that. I know Tammy eventually said he didn't have to leave but just that he even considered it, bothered me. He does a lot for her and all his family and he is allowed to put himself first. Oh Amy, wearing slides to a 5K walk. Come on now. I guess she finished but she would do herself a favor by wearing some decent footwear, appropriate for what she is doing.

I fully expect that movie and show adaptations of books will have differences from the book. But there were so many changes that are hard to understand why they are necessary. I was not expecting to love this. I didn’t love the book either. But I thought this was bad.

i didn't realize this was the last season but I sure had my suspicions after the most recent episode. lol Oh Ben will get to be a Dr. again. They have been all over the place with him, making it seem like that Testosterone was some dangerous drug. And I don't know that much about it but i thought when he told Miranda, she would be clear about any side effects and risks. But it appears there are none. lol Ben has always annoyed me. I don't see why they needed to kill off Maya but i suppose it makes for better drama on Greys, to see Karina struggle , or maybe she won't be allowed to adopt or something.

I wonder if Gerry and Theresa agreed to the marriage and everything, just to take advantage of the attention, the honeymoon, etc. I find it hard to believe that 2 adults with that much life experience would not realize that real life, outside of the bachelor bubble is totally different. Just theory -- maybe they said, let's take what they are offering, have some fun. And if it works out, great but if not, we'll go our separate ways. No harm, no foul. And I also wonder how much it affects them when they read forums like this and other social media. We are not kind to them, when we voice our opinions. That is not a criticism, that is what this is for. And why most people experiencing any type of fame or attention are told to not read this type of thing, not to engage. But I know if it was me, I would take a look. We can be brutal, but these forums are for fun and we can be honest and snarky all we want. I just wonder if they think a little differently after reading some of the opinions of others.

i am re watching, so I am caught up , when i start season 3. I really was not paying much attention the first time through because I even questioned if i had watched the second season at all. But anyway, i thought they would have Mitch get covid and then Alex would have to decide if she comes clean and tells everyone she was exposed. I really thought they would go that way, when she drank from his water bottle. Well that might come up later -- i have not finished the re watch of the second season yet.
