It's even more frightening without sound!

I knew Buddy had a temper by the way he reacted to the "Shamu" heckler back in season one. The scene may have been a set up by the producers, but I got the feeling that Buddy was genuinely pissed and ready to beat the crap out of someone. With the clip from "The Skinny", and the article about Buddy's intoxicated assault on a cop, it appears that ol' Luby's true colours are indeed coming to light. I'll bet the rent money that he's smacked around more than one bar patron. That clip had me thinking that I was watching Intervention there for a minute.

I googled "Whitney Way Thore net worth" a few weeks ago, and several sites listed her net worth between $750,000 and $1,500,000. You'd think that with the TLC show, book, NBS clothing line, and assorted spin-offs combined, that Whitney would not be hurting for money. Whitney should have had enough on hand to pay cash for her home free and clear, and not need Glen to co-sign for a loan.

So many WTF moments from last night: *I was truly afraid that Whitney was going to fall on Babs on several occasions. I'm surprised that Whiney didn't try to squeeze in the hospital bed with her mother. *Was the Rubbermaid step especially for Whitney to climb into Mommy's bed? *Where did Buddy and Donna stay while Babs was indisposed at Whit's house? *Buddy's breathing is sounding worse, I hope that he's under medical care, or else his stroke episode will be next. *Life Lesson: Don't wear clothes that match the workplace furniture. By wearing that red top, Whitney made it look like she was a red sofa with a human head--at least on my little 19 inch TV screen. *Now that Whitney lost her fake job at the radio station, can she collect a fake unemployment cheque? *Stop sexually abusing that poor innocent cat, you insane bitch! Make no wonder those kitties are shitting all over the house. *The Sympathy Boot showed up in a few scenes. I hope that Whitney can get a toe transplant so that she can tour with the Fitness Marshall and complete the DANCE BATTLE!!!! *Glenn had the most elegant and eloquent way of telling Whitney to "Grow the fuck up and get a fucking life!" that I've heard this week. *Leave your damn top on, girlfriend! Why does Whitney always have to parade around with her gut hanging out? The exhibitionism is strong with this one...

That video must have cost all of twenty-five cents to make. I loved watching the people in the background, some highlights included the pissy looking woman who walked behind them around the 36 second mark, and what I presume to be a TLC camera man who videobombs the "dance troupe" near the end. Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Fitness Marshall a little creepy and off-putting?

You're right, it's Mattie. No fried chicken and pie for me :(

What was that quip Mattie made last night about (major paraphrasing here) "you don't get dressed up to go to the welfare office?" Is Fabulous Mattie ripping off the system?

Some observations from last night's shit show: *Glenn looked rather irked at the prospect of funding Whitney's dance garagio *I hope that Buddy makes it to Season 5. He's looked and sounded terrible all this season, and last night his speech was garbled. I don't think that I've heard any of the My 600 lb Life people sound that bad. *The Todd "Mea Culpa" Scene. Notice how everyone sat in a position of dominance on the couch, while they looked down at and talked down to Todd who had to sit on the floor? *My Going to Hell Moment #1: When Whitney told Jiya that Fabulous Dance Battle 2.0 had to be post-poned for toe-nical reasons, and Jiya told off Whitney about it, I imagined the following Babs talking head: "I don't like the way that coloured girl sasses our Whitney!" *My Going to Hell Moment #2: When the Fitness Marshall told Whitney that he was coming for a visit, and she listed a litany of reasons why he couldn't enter her abode, including "I have to groom my cat!" YES, my depraved, twisted mind went there. *The doctor must have received an honorarium from TLC to not state the obvious reason why Twitney's poor little toe toe hurt so much. *I watched 10 minutes of the Babs retrospective, and it appears that a mini-stroke may have caused Mommy's car wreck. Also, Whitney looked considerably smaller in that old footage. As a veteran viewer of My 600 lb Life, Twitney's been north of 400 for a long time now, methinks. I would love for TLC to collaborate with Matt and Trey from South Park, and have Butters tap dance in the next Fabulous Dance Battle 2.0 I'll see myself out now...

Even if Whitney could get a TKR, I highly doubt that she would be compliant with the physiotherapy and anticoagulant shots that she'd need to give herself after the procedure.

I think that Nat Geo Wild should contact Steven and have him appear on "The Incredible Dr. Pol." Here is how I imagine it: The Uberlance transports Steven from Houston and dumps him in a cow barn in rural Weidman, Michigan Camera cuts to scene of Dr. Pol and his son Charles on their way to a call. Dr. Pol: Ve just got an emergency call from a farmer who found a Manbearpig in distress inside a dairy barn Charles: Holy *BLEEP*! So it's half bear, half man, and half pig! Vehicle pulls up at farm, Dr. Pol and Charles greet the farmer. Farmer: I got up this morning and saw that most of my cows were eaten. Then I noticed this...this thing over here Dr. Pol walks to corner of barn Dr. Pol: Jiminy Christmas! It stinks in here! Vat in the vorld is dat? I don't tink it's a Manbearpig, it's someting else. A monstrosity, is vat it is! Charles: Geez, Dad, what the hell is that? Steven: My pain level is a nine! Dr. Pol: I tought at first it was a Manaphant, but now dat I heard it make a noise, I definitely now know vat it is. It's a Rhode Island Manatee! I never see von before, only in textbooks back in veterinary college! Charles: Dad, look at its legs, they're green! And how did it get an iPad?! Steven: My legs hurt, I need a dilaudid pizza or I'll call the police!! Dr. Pol: It's screaming in pain, dere's noting I can do but put it down. Charles, get the chains and the snare. We'll restrain it, and den put it out of its misery Dr. Pol goes out to his vehicle and returns with a large syringe full of pink liquid, and you can guess the rest. The world lives happily ever after.

I've been a longtime lurker, and finally decided to create an account. Having watched this show from the beginning, Babs has always given me a catty bitch vibe. As the seasons have gone by, viewers have seen Babs' true colours emerge as someone who delights in directing a well-placed verbal barb at her daughter's expense, despite playing the faux role of a sweet, Southern Belle who wouldn't say "shit", even if her mouth was full of it. Some thoughts and observations from last night's show: *Todd gave me the impression that he had the hots for the Fitness Marshall. Before the session started, Todd rubbed his chest quite a bit. When he ran out to worship the porcelain god, all I could think was that old Toddy boy had a serious case of blue balls, and couldn't stand all of the fabulousity!! (Sorry for that image, just put me on the next pedicab to hell) *Speaking of pedicabs, it's obvious that the guy who took Whitney and Todd for a spin did not skip leg day *Buddy sounded like death warmed over. I hope Whitney has an AED in her house *I feel sorry for those poor kitties who have to crap on the floor *When Whitney just wanted to lie around and cuddle with Todd (instead of exploring NYC), did she believe that she was going to check off "The Seduce a Gay Man" section on her bucket list? *The cameras really seemed to focus on her thinning hair in this episode *I was expecting Whitney to drop in her tracks and beg for a wheelchair when she complained about the steep, steep ferry ramp *Remind me that if I ever go to New York, there's much more to do than pretend you're a bunny rabbit starring in a fake exercise video in the middle of Central Park But hey, I will definitely keep watching for the snark value alone!
