Did the trip really end early? Or was it all for a week of filming, and nothing more?

In the very beginning of the episode, Margaret just appeared at the hospital ER, she wasn't a previous patient of Dr. Now. It was very abrupt, but apparently that's how it happened.

I've read elsewhere, that it's a different boyfriend than the arrest one.

I think there was a third bedroom downstairs. It was a very confusing layout. I wonder if the sale actually closed? Many don't close the first time. Plus I think the rehab and carrying costs are under reported.

Make a note, next Wednesday is another new episode. Krystal (not the Krystal that was on a while ago). Krystal A is the poundticipant. Remember 6,000 lb Diaries with Dr. Now is on Monday night 7 to 9 central on Lifetime.

S17.E05 Starlicious Gazing New, 1/3/2025 "After an unexpected windfall from selling the family farm, a New York couple, Rob and Swati, now have the funds to relocate to Port St. Lucie, Fla.; she wants a place to host new friends while he wants remote and quiet." Port St. Lucie, FL is halfway between Orlando and Miami on the east coast of Florida. She works at the UN, and is retiring, Rob is all remote. (If Port St. Lucie sounds familiar and you watch OP Live, they've been featured recently). Wishlist-Swati wants: A fancy gated community. Open plan, 2200 sq ft or bigger, 55+ community, golf cart living. Rob: wants quieter, maybe on golf course. Budget $600,000, Swati wants $800,000 to $850,000. Rob said not more than $800,000. House 1-Dahoon Drive, Port St Lucie, not gated, no HOA -5 bed, 3 bath, 3100 sq ft, $759,000. Single story, lovely open plan, high ceilings, beatiful house. Not a gray and white box. lovely kitchen. Main bedroom suite is huge, bathroom is great, main closet is big. A separate office for Rob. Lovely pool with spa and cabana/bar. Pool isn't screened, but it's huge. The couple go golf cart shopping with David. (A personal note, get seat belts installed.) House 2-Trident Trail in Port St. Lucie, gated 55+ golf cart community. -3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2200 sq ft, $725,000 single story, huge island, great kitchen, not a bland house, nice office for Rob. Community has lakes, pools, all kinds of amenities. Main bedroom is gigantic, ensuite is huge. Screened pool, with canal view, with a rather large alligator lurking there. House 3-Gumbo Gorge, 55+, gated, golf cart community in Port St. Lucie -4 bed,4 bath, 2457 sq ft, $799,000 single story. Huge kitchen with a fancy bubble glas chandelier. Stunning view of the canal. Main bedroom isn't as big as the other two houses, but nice. great guest bedrooms, and baths. Spool (Spa pool, is spa and small pool). lovely patio. They buy # 2. 1/10 is not new, just a scratch off version apparently, 1/17 is new.

All of last night's episodes were repackaged or rerun HH or beachfront, or HHI episodes. One was the Vanuatu episode where the woman wanted to live off the grid, but then was worried about where she was going to poop. Interesting to read about living there, it's very remote. It's over 1,000 miles from Australia. Limited healthcare, and very high cost of living.

Too many times pressure to follow codes or clean up hoards depends on who you're related to. I know of several cases where the hoarder was related to someone in city government, or was wealthy, and noting was done about them.

I watched a little, but the first case was infuriating. The only good part is that we will never have to put up with the renter son who is a total flake, or the girlfriend who takes and takes, and rips people off.

A Hot Tip on a Cool Flip New, S02.E03, 1/2/2025 "Tarek and Heather receive a seemingly hot tip on a potential flip from social media, but they wonder if they're being catfished. Even if it's legit, they'll need to pull this reno off fast before the market cools down for the holidays." Still using Jake the contractor. I miss Jeff. House might be a scam or might not. House was an online contact. It's in La Palma, CA. So they just walk right into the house, no one there? You know they already bought it. House has two primary suites, in a five / four bedroom house, but is the second floor permitted? I bet it's a three bedroom, 2 bath like the property records say. Second floor ceilings are low. However, turning the second floor into an entire suite, making it a four bedroom, with two suites works. They buy the house for $680,000. Make upstairs into primary, and have the entire upstairs as a huge primary. Reno budget is $200,000. Jake the contractor finds $4,000 in cash in the house, and they're giving it back to the former owners. They have permits. Redesign is boring. Tile choices look so generic again. Break even price is $958,000. But comps are up. I don't see anything high end about putting tile on the risers on the steps. House is now black roof, garage door, gate to front courtyard, white exterior walls. Boring. Finished house looks OK, but nothing spectacular. Kitchen still seems small for the house size. Just another big, white, boring interior, with another barn door. They keep calling everything high end, but it isn't. Backyard is all patio. Possible fifth bedroom has no bathroom access. Paid $680,000, $210,000 rehab, Break even $961,000. Comps say $1.050 mil to $1.2 mil. List is $1.299 million. $339,000 profit if they sell for $1.299 million. Sold for $1,255 million. The tile all looks very familiar, as if it's all clearance because it's on the way out of fashion. The constant talk about how slim the margins and profit are, makes me think they're buying clearance stuff.

I'm wondering if the wife was a recent graduate, so they rented in Illinois, and the Houston last housing was a lease too. Other shows do rent short term rentals for filming, or else use a fancy background for the talking heads. This show doesn't do that.

My understanding is the first appointment includes the screening to see if the person is competent to consent to the program and surgery, medical screening, getting their records transferred to Dr. Now's office, meetings with nutritionists or dieticians. It's not just the office appointment we're shown. Lacey decided on her own to move to Houston.

Here's the link to the show page: https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/the-6000-lb-diaries-with-dr-now Hope I did that right.

She lied about skipping appointments, she could have flown to Houston, but told Sharon and Ricky she had to take everything and move to Houston. She was not approved for surgery, and Dr. Now told her not to move until she was approved. Lacey also didn't mention Ricky would be paying for the apartment either. Lacey and Ricky had barely been dating, suddenly engaged, and then Sharon's expected to drive them to and from Houston, and the second time with the U-Haul. And Lacey took everything, including bags of cereal and stuff she could have easily replaced in Houston, instead of expecting Sharon to haul her stuff. Lacey was a liar and a user. She was also claiming to be following the diet, but was eating all kinds of junk food too and from Houston. The way people would help her and kept backing out told you a lot too.
