I totally agree. Been in that situation way too many times over the years.

I didn't think it was possible, but the family have become even more crude in their language. I'm still watching though!

Another time-wasting episode.

Watched this show for the first time tonight. Gotta say I really enjoyed the performances. James Van Der Beek has a wonderful voice. I set it up to record because I really want to know who the other singers are. They sucked me in!

Thanks for the heads up! Just set my dvr.

Well here we go again with the location shenanigans on this show. All the food sales took place in Westchester on Sepulveda Blvd except for Senorita's (sic), who were selling in Playa Del Rey (near the local fave Salerno Beach restaurant). Only the talking heads & the volleyball challenge were in Manhattan Beach. I also think Southern Pride was robbed & the Cheese Whizzes can leave my screen anytime. Those judges were totally lame.

I grew up in Venice Beach and now have lived in Redondo Beach for many years. There was a lot of location shenanigans in the last show. On the most recent episode only had the talking heads & team recaps/totals on the Redondo pier. All the food truck sales took place in Venice Beach. I recognized all the locations/streets the last two episodes took place at. Wonder why they faked the location as being in Redondo? Maybe they couldn't get permits or permissions to sell in Redondo? If anyone knows let US know. PS I'm glad Salsa Queen left but felt sorry for Missy. Class act there. PPS It's not a good idea to let someone from out of town wander the streets of Venice alone. Too dangerous.

It might not ever be made but there’s a tv production company looking to make a show about people who’ve had bad outcomes from either the gastric bypass surgery or subsequent reconstructive plastic surgery. I submitted an application regarding my messed up plastic. It’s been a few months since I’ve heard back so I’m not too optimistic.

Totally agree with you on the dumping. I’m 22 yrs out, lost 150 initially & maintained pretty much except the past 3 yrs or so. I went from 300 to 150, then started inching back up to 160 & THEN did alot of bad eating during lockdown & worry about my LEO husband in SoCal & went up to 185! I’m glad to report that I’ve been on a keto/ low-carb diet since April 1, 2021 & as of today weigh 133! I’ve never weighed this little in my adult life! The family on this show think they won’t have to watch their diet after surgery but they are so wrong! Plus you really need to take advantage of the surgery your first year out because weight loss slows down after that (the “honeymoon period”). PS I’m only 5’ tall.

Thanks for the link. It was quite interesting to see all the available services. All of which would be wasted on ungrateful Tanny. Kudos to all the nurses who do this work. If I lived closer I’d volunteer to run a karaoke 🎤 show there. Fun and therapeutic. Have a great weekend ladies.

I just ran across a new show on HGTV that stars Luke & Clint from Boise Boys! It starts Sept 18 and is titled “Outgrown”. I hope it’s as good as the original!

This is the first show in a long time that I really enjoyed. All challenges were food/cooking centric. Each chef had their time to shine No rummaging through trash, chasing pigs around, or other non-cooking related physical challenges. Looks like next week though, unfortunately, they are reverting back to form.

I really thought I was going to like Levar Burton as host but I surprisingly don’t. Too much up-talk inflections and exclamations. I’m finding it exhausting & distracting. I watch this show to relax. YMMV.

Yeah. These people just piss me off. I had no sympathy for her but felt really bad for those girls. They don’t have much of a life and are very overweight. Neither girl looked like they lost any weight. Too bad. Unlike you I am a food addict but I definitely followed all my doctor’s instructions when I had my bypass in 2000. I want to thank all the snarkers on the live chat for this episode. Some hilarious stuff!

I got my husband to watch this season with me. I’ve been watching this show from it’s debut. I used to find it inspiring & motivating. Not anymore. I have to keep telling him the people being featured used to actually have surgery! Now I just snark on it and crack up my husband. At least it makes him realize how far I’ve come in my own weight loss journey. Too bad Obesity Med couldn’t make more episodes. It looked promising.
