    Sandoval is wrong for blaming Katie for James losing his job. He said something shitty, coupled with a lot of other shitty things he did. It wasn't a singular incident and further, there would be no justification if James was innocent of the charges against him. But again, Katie is a bully. He is right about that. But Sandoval, why are you talking to LVP about this? How the hell did this go from James not goig to Mexico to advocating for James' job back? James hasn't hit rock bottom to realize that it's not okay to be drunk and idiotic or sober and idiotic for that matter. A couple of weeks of being good doesn't mean that he's truly learned the error of his ways (as evidence from his reaction to the dis-invitation). How funny that after giving LVP his speil, 30 seconds later he's flying off the handle. At one point he got heated and Lisa said his name and he looked at her like he couldn't understand why she was trying to calm him down. Either James has poor attendance at these anger management classes or he needs to find a better one.

    I think Sandoval's point was that Katie acts out at others and nothing happens for it. She doesn't get talked to or even sent home(at least what we've seen via editing). But when she's attacked she runs right to LVP and cries about it. Again James is a POS no matter what good he's done but people act like Katie is this innocent individual that does nothing wrong when she's behind most the issues with people.

    Nope, not new. Apparently just have a different opinion than you do.

    Not really an opinion that differs. If you've watched the show every Sandoval said is pretty much true aside from saying James is provoked. Katie does and gets away with everything she does and cries when people fight back.

    FI Tom is such a little bitch - after the altercation behind SUR with Schwartz, Ariana and Katie - he RUNS to Lisa Vanderpump to tattle on Katie and lie about how wonderfully well James is doing.  What a creep.  And yes, Katie can be and has been awful at times, but James actively works to get at people and is never actually remorseful for any of his horrible behaviour.

    You have to be new to the show to say this. Tom did run to tell on Katie, he went and basically dropped facts. Katie was toxic as shit for the last 3 seasons and nothing happens to her. She's body shamed others in the group, attacked others and done other things and nothing was done about it. Lisa would maybe pull her aside and talk to her. The incident where James called her fat this season was after she attacked him.  James is a dbag but Katie is a bully that gets away with it.

    Ariana is so fake and gross.  Now that Tom is doing something, you're all about him?  Get a room, get a life.  Ugh.

    What's wrong with supporting someone? At least she's not taking over things he's doing like he did with her. Isn't that the part of a relationship you're supposed to do is be about that person? She's been about him all the time.

  4. First Jax is a complete tool and this is by no means in defense of his actions as he deserves everything he gets..... but does anyone else with the girls not named Brittney should mind their own business about their relationship? I find it highly annoying you have that gaggle of messy chicks who can't get their own crap together bagging on Jax and Brittney and basically trying to push her in the direction they want. If those two want to work it out let them FFS. It's always annoyed me how groups of so called friends do this type of mob mentality they always do. Again Jax is a tool but damn leave them alone to their own devices.

  5. A few things.....

    Anyone else think Jonathon is a fake mofo? He just seems to be that old bitty type of individual that puts his nose into everything and then tells on everyone. Did K. Michelle not need him anymore?

    Mendecees mom needs to step way way back and leave things alone. I dislike Mendecees more and more each season in how he treats Yandy and doesn't say anything to his mom.

    There is NO lack for morbidly obese people in the United States that could be on the show.  I have been all over the U.S. and there are extremely overweight people everywhere these days.  Of course the ones I am seeing are the mobile ones - you know there have to be quite a few that are bedridden.  I think the problem is that TLC really doesn't know who will actually be successful and who will not from the onset/interview.... most want to be thin or SAY they want to be thin - they just don't want to put forth any effort.  "I want to be thin as long as I don't have to watch what I eat or how much I eat".  "I want to be thin as long as I don't have to exercise".  "I want to be thin - MAKE me thin, Dr. Now.  Give me the magical surgery that will make 450 pounds melt off of my body instantly and I will continue my life eating everything in sight and sitting in front of the television".     I suppose TLC COULD stop filming a few weeks into the episode when they see that the person really isn't going to commit and do the work necessary... but I think that it's important for viewers to see that not everyone is going to be successful.  Dr. Now says less than 5% will be successful - so how is TLC supposed to find that 5% out of the thousands of morbidly obese applicants?

    That's not the point of the show. It's just to show drama and crazy situations fatties are in(I'm a fatty BTW). It's just shock and awe for views and it works. I think they also try to get people that have life issue that "caused" them to be fat. If you notice all the intervention shows and hoarding shows always feature someone who had some sort of life changing event happen. You never see anyone that just decided to hoard or do drugs just to do it. Same with this show. It's the best way to get the drama effect and pull people in. The results and success of these people is non-existent.

  7. I love how all the chicks that are trying to be rappers would rather fight than actually do anything in their careers. This is why they'll never be taken seriously and actually have careers. I thought all this was fake for the show with how Bianca and Bri act.... nope that's exactly how they really act.

     

    Rich and his Type 2 Diabetes BS was funny since I have it as well. His overreacting ass and crying about it. Then goes out and drinks heavily, eats bad food. Like come on bro you can't cry about "almost dying" then go out and do that.

     

    Jonathon to me is fake as hell. Is he back because K. Michelle isn't doing her show anymore? Dude is telling on people like snitch working for the feds.

    I'm always surprised at how little Dr. Now actually makes these people do before giving them surgery. My good friend had a gastric sleeve done about 2yrs ago now, and she told me she was required to see a therapist regularly, a nutritionist for actual nutrition counseling (multiple sessions), and follow a strict diet (including a liquids only diet right before) before going in for her surgery. These people on the show are getting off easy. It blows my mind how little the participants on the show are willing to do to save their own asses.

    They go through a lot. I don't think we see everything like nutritionists visits, physiologist visits or others. His part is really to see if they're willing to do anything at all to get better and you can see most don't.

    I said it last episode but Jax’s behavior in regards to this cheating are really cold and disconnected to Brittany. Like look I know Jax cheats all the time and he’s no prize of a boyfriend, but I don’t know.. in the past when he cheated on his girlfriends he seemed really heartbroken about what he did.

    Besides Stassi in seasons 1 and 2, even the girlfriends who were more or less blips in the shows(one was named Carmen I think?), he seemed sad when he was caught cheating. He seems really disconnected from the situation here. 

    And this is what I’m not sure what is going on. I wonder if real life stuff was actually going on with Jax at this time? And no that’s not an excuse but still. Or if this is all a faux storyline kind of and he can’t be bothered to care?  He just seems over it and tired and annoyed at the whole thing. And yeah.. it kind of feels like we are literally watching him have the same conversation over and over again, just with different people. 

    Also Kristen sort of feels like a non entity this season. 

    I don't think he's over it, and I think he's sad and heartbroken he messed up. I think the issue is the little clique of girls keep bringing things up and pushing Brittany. Every time they're together they can't just hang out it's always "Jax this or Jax that". Regardless of their dislike for Jax they all just need to back off and let whatever happens happen.

    Agreed- I just think there's a time and a place for the whole "it's a choice" arguement.  Maybe for Pauline or Penny, in month 11, when they've been offered nutritional counseling and therapy and group support and surgery and they're STILL making excuses.  But on day one of treatment?  It reminds me of Intervention- if anyone watches that show.  At the Intervention, no one discusses why the person is an addict or whose fault it is- the goal is just to get them into treatment.  If Now had them in therapy right away, they'd be figuring this stuff out all along.  

    A little late in this but here goes,

    The problem with eliminating the choice out the why they do this just takes away the responsibility from the individual. Regardless of why they are eating they are making that choice to eat another plate of food. They made a choice to drink 4 - 2 liters of soda a day. They made the choice to wait until they were going to die before giving a care and acting on it. If you watch the show when Dr. Now talks with them and then read about the surgery no doctor will just do the surgery. They make you in some cases going to a shrink and getting evaluated. They also make you lose weight before surgery and keep it off. That shows that you can make the right... choices when you have the surgery. In the end it's all choices that led them to their health issues. You can add all the side acts like mental issues, emotional troubles or anything that can cause people to do things. But at the end of the day those don't matter because you make that choice to keep going with how you're going.  It's a hard fact to understand but it's fact. Anything less is way to simple and letting these people off way to easy. I had to come to terms with what I was doing and I made the choice to fix it.

  11. I hate wishing this upon anyone but this dude just needs to die off. He obviously doesn't give a shit about himself or others. He only cares when it's past the point of no return. His whining and crying when they moved him angered me for some reason. All these shows anger me. I'm obese and big and I have pains but god damn these people. How about not become human Jabba The Huts and you won't be in pain. All that crying and whining just pisses me off. It's like touching a hot stove and being told not to but you still do it. I don't feel sorry for his girlfriend as she can walk away anytime. Damnit, this one angered me.

    If it's a choice (and some people believe it is), then why is Dr Now performing surgery?  Isn't this a strange belief for him to have?

    Because people can make the choice to get better. Isn't everyone allowed the make the choice to fix themselves and get the help? One of the hardest things one can do is admit you have an issue, ask for help and actually use the help. Writing it off as some strange belief if pure ignorance. I mean if that was how things were, why does religions try to help those that aren't saved? Or that don't believe in God? That's a choice they made.

    FWIW I have almost 14 years sober and a few months into this bulimia recovery thing.

    That's why it's a choice(and congrats) you make the choice every day to not fall into past habits.

    They aired this episode again today.  I have to say, I'm fat (I can take care of my own needs, and I don't require the fire department to leave the house, but I'm legitimately fat), and I am not nearly as lazy or whiny as most of the people on this show.  It's a mind-boggling amount of laziness.  And Lupe gained over 80 lbs in one month!  That's verging on impressive, IMO. 

    It's always the ones that have enablers around them that pretty much just let them get that way. It's just like the addiction shows where the parents keep giving them money and they keep buying the drugs or booze.

    I know it's not supposed to be good for you, but why don't any of these people ever drink diet soda?  It sure would save a lot of calories.
    I haven't had a regular soda for many years, and I think they taste a lot better than all that sugary sweetness.
    Don't have but one a day, and drink mostly freshly brewed iced tea, but I could go with just Diet Coke for a bit.
    I wonder if CPS from their home county saw the show, or if Neiko has already dropped out of school.  That kid deserves a break, so hope there's something good in his future.

    Diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda. People think the word "Diet" means better but with soda it's the same or worse.

    Ok, I'm not done being mad over this.

    If overeating is a choice, Now, close the clinic!  Send everyone home, lock the doors, turn off the lights.  Post a sign on the door telling everyone to make better choices, leave the number for a nutritionist and the address of a Planet fitness and call it a day.  The end!

    Why is this guy doing surgeries- and making a significant profit off of them- if all of this is a choice?  

    It is a choice. She had the choice to stop eating herself that way any time. It may have been hard but she had the choice. This is the issue with obese people and those on the outside looking in. They make excuses and try to diminish their fault in the matter. It doesn't matter what your past history was like, you made teh choice to start a habit and keep on that habit. She made the choice to keep eating and ignore the Dr. and her family. 

    Before the dumb comments, I'm obese as well and I put no blame on any past or BS for my wieght. I own it as mine.

    He's perpetuating stereotypes of the obese this season pretty badly (it gets worse every season).  You do realize, in the first season he didn't make them (Melissa, Ashley, etc.) lose any weight to "prove" to him that they could lose weight--and they were all at around the 600 pound mark.  I'm not saying that these people shouldn't have to try their own or don't need an intensive amount of therapy--THEY DEFINITELY DO!  But what Dr. Now did, in just the first season anyway, was to take care of the acute problem first, give them weight loss surgery, without the games.  The thing is that these people are in big trouble health wise and every day they live through at 600 + pounds is a miracle.  Therapy doesn't work on a dead person.  First things first, start getting the weight down as quick as possible (if they aren't healthy enough to survive surgery, absolutely admit them to the hospital so they can be put on a very strict and monitored diet), THEN, make sure they are regularly working with a therapist.  The whole "go home and lose 50 pounds to show me you are serious" is just drama for the camera, and is very dangerous.  Seriously, go watch the first season again and you'll see what I mean.

    He did actually, but if you paid attention you'd also see the 1st season was completely different than any others. It focused on the surgery and after. As for the "go home and lose 50 pounds to show me you are serious" that's not dangerous that's seeing if they can be productive and serious. Read about how many people think this surgery is just you getting it and you don't have to change your diet. Many people that look into the surgery think this and then become highly surprised that you have to be very very strict with your eating. If you can't lose 50lbs practicing good eating habits before the surgery you won't do it after, that is fact.

    I'm re-watching Erica.  Her sister and her BIL as just awful.  I get that they are probably tired of dealing with her, and they need to draw boundaries, but you can do that without being so nasty, I think. 

    If you watch they way she treats them by trying to guilt them into things you can tell that she had been being manipulative for years. She doesn't get her way so she tries to guilt them, blame them for what's happening to her.
