Dr. Acula

Urban Shinmin... so cringeworthy. She described something on one of the displays as "dope".

The real reason nobody will rent Buddy an apartment is because he’s a weapons-grade bum, with no job and no employment history. Period, end of story. And that’s *if* I believe he’s actually looking. He’s embarrassingly pathetic.

I'm not surprised at all. She has absolutely no chance at a quality life while being raised in that donkey show. I'd suggest that CPS needs to pull her out of there, but the irreparable damage has already been done. And get a good look at her now while she's the thinnest she'll ever be for the rest of her life. Her misery has only just begun. Tub of butter anyone??

Heather claimed that they're all so "competitive". To that I say, phoooooey!! With the exception of Glen, none of these life losers knows the first thing about competition. Not one of them can even drag his/her sorry ass out of bed every morning to compete in the workforce. Try navigating a career through corporate America, you dumb snowflakes... that's competition. Facing the world with independent thought, and achieving self-sustainability... that's competition. Un-fuckin'-believable. Get a god damn job, all of you... hell any of you.

She doesn't even put any consideration into it. She just seems to gravitate to the most grotesque image on the flash wall, and says "Yup, that's the one. Pick a roll and slap it on." She's vile.

I don't believe for a second that Whitney works out with Jessica and Will 4 times a week. And why does Jessica waste ANY time with that vile ghoul? And why would Whitney bother showing up at all if she just goes home and plugs in her ice cream IV? None of this makes any sense.

That was ultra gross. All I could think of was this internet photo.

Her ass has never looked worse than it does this season. It's repulsive, and not just in a "hah hah look at the fat girl waddle" humorous way... but rather in a way that's so disgusting that it makes me angry. She's 35ish?? Just imagine what she'll look like at 45, if she makes it that long. She has a crippling food addiction. People with normal eating habits tend to gain wait in their 40's, as activity and metabolism slows down. She's a speeding train, aimed directly at the washed out bridge.

Heather is woefully pathetic, with possibly the lowest self-esteem of any chud ever featured on television. The way she cried hysterically, and continues to pine for Buddy, more than a year removed from their relationship, is disgraceful. Really, Heather... Buddy??? I can hardly think of a worse male influence for her young kids than such a slovenly, obese, drug addicted, unemployed loser with zero ambition, developing anger issues and the personality of a dead deer. Harsh, but realistic opinion in 3... 2... 1... no way Buddy sees 40.

Buddy is insufferable. Every word out of his mouth is spoken to elicit sympathy. Speaking as someone who is 14 months sober after 27 years, to meet me, or spend any time with me, you'd never know I may have once had an issue with alcohol. I recognized MY problem, and fixed it. I don't now, nor have I ever, burdened everyone around me with desperate cries of victimhood, or an exhausting need for kid-glove treatment. He needs to shut the hell up and realize he's not special. And get a GD job.

Of course it's a pit bull... the "misunderstood" and polarizing misfit of dogs. It'll fit in perfectly with every other undesirable victim in Whitney's circle jerk.

I don't know anything about producing a TV show, but $250k - $400k per episode of MBFFL sounds outrageous to me. They literally just follow a fat girl around with a camera. I could do it with my iphone.

Neither one of them is employed. Their only income is whatever TLC pays them to be exploited. What's the going rate for freak show geek these days? Once this show ends, they'll both be on disability welfare... that's if they're not already.

This show is a psychiatrist's wet dream. Just make it a competition reality show, and get it over with... each season Whitney's circle of misfits compete against one another to prove to a panel of psychiatric professionals, which of them is the most severely broken. The winner takes a medical treatment prize package worth $100k. As a condition of treatment, whichever misfit wins each season may not return for any subsequent seasons, and in fact must permanently cut all ties with the other misfits. (Kinda like when you're getting sober, you shouldn't hang around bars.)

Every time Amy advises someone to sell their house, I half expect to her to make a weird face and hand them her Remax card... "Yeeaaahhh... I'm also in real estate."

I don't get the tight time limits on these shows. All it does is undercut the quality of the final product... it all looks half-assed. Supposedly, you have a room full of talented bakers, so give them adequate time to fully showcase their capabilities, and present a complete product. The time limit, not only adds NO value, but it actually hinders the potential "wow" factor. Give 'em time to do what they do.

Does anyone know what time commitment is required to participate on one of these shows? Is the whole season taped in a week? 2 weeks? Curious, because anyone who participates would have to leave their job/business for an extended period. That might not be agreeable to some potential competitors, and result in repeat contestants... the one willing to show up.

There may be individual talent spread thinly across the teams, but the end results being presented this season have generally been mediocre at best. Some of them have been downright embarrassing. And where's the creativity? I thought flashlight mouse and franken-puppy were clever, though poorly executed, but otherwise the concepts have been completely unimaginative. Not to mention the awful team names...

This show is doomed without Todd Hoffman. Watching him, and his team of lazy welfare addicts, FAIL miserably every year was TV "gold"... car crash eye candy. Now we're left with the relatively likeable Parker and Rick... Zzzzzzzz... and that whole disgusting Beets family.

Please do, I'm a religious reader of your recaps. :)

How'd you like to be Noah's wife's parents? Their dumb-dumb daughter hitched the family wagon to a cult of professional victims. Thanksgiving and Christmas will never be the same. Billy shows up wasted, and only turns up from there... following daddy-in-law around begging for a "loan". Opioid Ami wimpering, and tugging at mommy-in-law's heart strings with fake tales of hardship. Noah the neckbeard pitching whatever pyramid scheme, or get-rich-quick boondoggle, he's into that year. Snowbird feeding squirrels and racoons in the kitchen, while lecturing the in-laws about the benefits of a holistic diet. Bam Bam starting arguments with extended family over politics and religion... and really digging in. Bear spends dinner under the table gnawing on turkey bones, and the rest of the day on the roof throwing up blood. Gabe making everyone uncomfortable with cringeworthy celebrity impressions, and leering at his new female "cousins". Matt spends half the day in the bathroom hitting the meth pipe, and the other half "fixing" grandma's car that ain't broke. Rain-iac neither makes eye contact with, nor speaks to anyone while staring at her iphone on social media all day. Awful. Check please...

Noah needs his own show... or even better, just have a camera crew live-stream his every move. I could watch that weapons-grade neckbeard on a 24 hour loop. He's irreparably, and profoundly, broken... and that makes him TV gold-ahhh.

Not to mention such a waste of a perfectly good rack.

Whenever Billy or Ami spew their 3rd grade wisdom, the "kids" hang on every word, with that dopey look of adoration on their faces, as if they're being addressed directly by Jesus. That's textbook fear and ignorance, resulting from a lifetime of enforced control and isolation. It's easy to make fun of the "kids"... I do, it's hilarious, please don't stop... but the reality is that it's not their fault they were born into a dangerous, soul-sucking cult.

These "kids" are clearly terrified of Billy and Ami, which then begs the question... what punishment techniques have Billy and Ami levied against the younger flock over the years to ensure such subservience? Incestual, substance, psychological and physical methods of abuse are obvious to me. I'd just love to know the sick details. Maybe one will escape someday to pen a tell-all book. Can't believe CPS hasn't removed the minor yet. The others may have flown under the radar before they became famous, but now their twisted regime is exposed to the world.
