snarkish

Hi, folks. I've been reading from the wings for a season or so now. I wanted to chime in regarding his height. I am a mere 4'10". Even if Charles is 5 feet, 100 pounds is a ridiculously low weight to be at. At my leanest I got to 95 pounds in high school and I looked way too thin. Yes, I have to lose weight (currently 180 and size 14) but my goal is not to be under 125. One of the reasons I have been quiet is although I watch this like a train-wreck, Dr. Now's recommendations (jumping to a 1200 calorie diet immediately, no immediate psychotherapy, etc.) really concern me.

I was glad they did this episode to show how they prep them before the drop. And introduce the cast a little more. One thing that kept distracting me was the face masks outdoors. I wonder when this was filmed? Especially them being outdoors with masks on constantly. I wonder if it's just worry about getting sick before they begin. Where I live, barely anyone wears masks anymore and I haven't even heard anyone speak about COVID or having had it in the past several months. (Southern US).

I wish Diana's Journey had a chat page! She's one of my favorites! I can't wait to see where she is now!

I had a tough time watching this episode, and shut it off after he gained before surgery. These are the reasons it was making me uncomfortable: 1. Mr. Snarkish's name is David, his father is also David, and before his father was adopted by his StepDad, his last name was Nelson. 2. Pounder David looks ridiculously like Mr. Snarkish in the face. Same coloring, eyes, nose, dark beard (Mr. Snarkish's is trimmed). To the point Mini Snarkish walked into the room, looked at the TV, looked at Mr. Snarkish and announced, "Is this one of your younger brothers?! This will be you if you keep gaining weight!" 2. Mr. Snarkish is about 300 pounds and several doctors have already asked him to consider WLS which he refuses to do. So...yeah. It was uncomfortable to watch because I felt like I was looking at my husband after another 400 pounds. But, I recorded so will go back and finish later day. Also, Robin is on FB (Robin Villareal). I couldn't find an account for David. I was getting the loony vibes too. Wondering if she fostered without a husband or her own children?

Her name is Lisa Barnett Ebberson. She has an active FB account. She was vaguely "looking for help" January 27th in some group post. People are bashing her on her private page because, of course, it's set as public.

I just shut the damn TV off, this POS is a total and complete waste. Night, folks. Here's to hoping we get a halfway decent episode next week.

I was about to post that I believe James K. has come back from the dead as this female blob. Watch her order fried raaahce next.

Randy is facing the wall while she's talking to the crew.

"Get 8 cases of sody. It'll get drinken".

I believe a pack of stoned teenagers would have had a healthier shopping cart. The cashier probably thought he was having a party.

THIS! I found the change in his facial expressions so disturbing I had trouble paying attention. His "RBF" looked very angry, always knitted brows like he was fretting over something. Maybe it was the constant pain he said he was in. Then there was his odd manner of speech, like everything was coming from a pulpit. We get weird Margaret and Mom and now Larry...this is one oddball season.

Please tell me it's Halloween with these outfits. The Dolly Mama looks like she's actually attractive if she had a serious makeover.

I pretty much knew the moment Musa cooked him that lovely fish dinner (which I very much would have enjoyed) that this one was enabling himself. I hope she gets a Greencard at the very least out of him. And then runs.

Two hours in and Minister Toolbox is now up 15 pounds. That was some cinnamon roll. Goodnight, folks! *clicks off remote*

We have been robbed. Yet again.

Dude is actually using religion and the bible to justify his actions, eating that Diabetes inducing combination? FFS...

Musa seems like a sweet woman, but when I see her all I hear is Eddie Murphy's standup routine in Delirious (1983)..."Goonie goo goo". "Onetron! What have you done for me lately?!" I will see myself out now...

As were the drinks they had at the Drag Show. My jaw dropped at that cereal/milkshake concoction Amy was drinking! I get her wanting to loosen up and have a beverage (or two) but she picked the worst possible drink ever (especially after having gastric surgery! How did she not "dump" afterward??). I'm a very big fan of Margaritas, but even when we cruise (and drink more than usual) I will break it up with vodka tonics with lemons/limes.

Ugh, this show. It's becoming a chore to watch. (Yet...here I am). 14 year old Mini Snarkish is all in, and watched this episode ahead of me and happily watched it again, with me talking to the TV. I don't know if it's possible to despise Tammy any more than I already do. The most miserable, rude, entitled, narcissistic mound of flesh I have ever witnessed...and she has a TV show to boot. To agree with others above, I would TOTALLY watch a show based on the rest of the family. I was literally at a loss for words over the fact that she expected them to drive all the way back from the cabin to take her home. That she couldn't manage to try to get inside the cabin door. That she refused to cooperate with the electric wheelchair. That she threw a tantrum in a restaurant (where she ordered a burger covered with chorizo and spicy cheese on a pretzel bun). I would have left her fat ass in the van. Production wants drama for the cameras? That would have drawn more viewers than poor Michael (why does he always give in?) driving her to a hotel. I would watch a show with just Chris and Amanda, TBH. People mentioning Amy on the coaster with the two guns, I couldn't get past her filthy, black-bottom bare feet flying through the air. Watching this show, all I can think of is, "What have we stooped to as a society?" When people like this have become popular TV personalities? We all make fun of them (at least, in our heads) in Walmart, then go home and watch them religiously every week on TV. They probably even are earning more money by this show, than people of healthy weight, good manners, who work regular jobs/careers. I just shake my head, and...wind up watching this shit show...Every. Damn. Week.

I literally just went back and FF to that scene because I missed it. There is a pole right where that puddle is. Not sure if she could have peed right near that pole or it "ran" towards it. I ignored it at first because of all of the rain I normally see on episodes at his office, I wondered if Houston is prone to pop up showers often and then it dries quickly with the heat?

Okay....UNCLE. I finished the episode. Poor Dr. P. I agree with above, her waddling to the bathroom half nakey was a big "F U" to everyone there. Dr. P. was right though. let her go...obviously she can walk if she wants to! Yeah, that eating while lying down was insane,, I don't know how she can do that. One thing I wonder watching all of these poundticipants is how how they can lie prone. I am about 50 pounds overweight and have sleep apnea, I have an adjustable bed frame. How they can sleep flat without dying from suffocation baffles me. This episode brought up memories of my ex husband...the man would cry over anything and everything and it drove me bananas. Now, I have to say I am a cryer and will cry when frustrated, which pisses me off because I really want to kill you. And even he would cry over shit more than me. I never knew what would set him off. Margaret was the female version of him. Margaret's butt reminded me of Charity from seasons past. Another butt with wings. Did anyone else notice Dr. Now looked like "Get me outta here!" uncomfortable when he told Margaret and her Mother that he'd let her get surgery? It was like she won the showcase showdown on The Price is Right.

Sweet Lord, Jeebus...I'm not sure I can go back and watch the rest of this having read this thread! I ended it early as I had an early morning today and all that blubber-crying didn't seem worth watching through. As those before me have mentioned, the initial scene of her lying in the hospital bed and looking up at Dr. Now with large eyes and sniffling, looked just like an infant about ready to wail. Then I saw the beginning of the shitshow of her lying slap naked in the bed in front of the therapists, the pack of wild Chihuahuas and then first tantrum. Then I said, "Nuh uh" and went to bed. But now I might fire up the DVR and at least see poor, sweet Dr. P get what he doesn't deserve.

Tammy - "I'm still fighting". Yeah. With Dr. Smith, your siblings, production, the therapist...

It angers me more each episode the opportunities these bumpkins get that are a complete waste. Tammy needed a slap across her RBF for her manner and glare towards the therapist. Plenty of folks would be grateful for free therapy. A breast lift for Amy? She can't even buy a proper fitting BRA. They live in a duplex that looks like it should be condemned by the Board of Health but have $ to get facials and waxing? Tisa and Gage are the only saving grace. And Tisa, glad you added that Tammy better not abuse her "pain excuse". It's more like "pain pill ABUSE" at this point. They're really reaching for content at this point. I assume/hope this is the last season of this.

I really like this show so much more than M600PL. These folks seem a lot more motivated, educated, level-headed and CLEAN. And there is so much less bullshit. I really enjoyed the Family by the Ton past seasons, and since I'm a creeper (besides living in metro ATL) have friended and chatted online with several of the participants of that series and now Meghan from this one. Such very nice people. I know where Dr. Procter's office is and absolutely love his manner...AND his dimples. I just watched Jennifer's episode knowing she didn't make it. That was really hard to watch. Especially to see she was 6 years younger than myself. I really thought she turned a corner after her CHF flare, but Sepsis is no joke. I loved the banter between her and her husband, the "knower of all things"...I might just steal that line from her.
