June's never had any morals, she's not starting to having any now.
My guess is that June will try to parlay the custody of the granddaughter into another season on the show. How any judge could give that girl's custody to June totally stuns me.

I don't think in a team challenge the money should automatically be divided up into equal amounts for each chef, especially when they have a list of required courses, because some courses require costlier ingredients than others. But when they decide, as a team, who's going to make which course and what each of those dishes is going to be, the budget needs to be part of that discussion. Not wait until the check-out line of a notoriously expensive store and, golly gee, we've gone over.
I'm pretty sure we've seen them take things off the bill, not just put them aside before even being rung up.
I wonder if taking things off wasn't in the rules this time? It wouldn't surprise me if they had it in the rules that once you checkout, no changes, for the drama to ramp up.

I watched this episode because I also live in Everett. Most city shots like when you see the Funko sign are Everett but the Ken’s Grocery where they showed them shopping is 25 miles to the south in Seattle. I wonder why he needs groceries from a specialty market. Ken’s is not cheap. And we have a Trader Joe’s at the mall if he needs fancier than Safeway.
It is fun seeing local places. Like the lake he was fishing in, I live a few miles from it.
Most stores don't allow filming, so for the grocery trip the visits have to be at places that will allow the camera crew.
They changed the first few scenes with the personal care assistant we'll never see again.
The remark about the state paying his bill to buy burgers, fast food places aren't legal, but lots of big box and convenience stores have microwave burgers too. And pizza, and all kinds of stuff.
First Bonus Scene (at least that I noticed) is Charles doing foot exercises.
I'm sick of seeing the outside of the town house, and Charles' brown t-shirt.
I still can't believe how rude Charles is to hang up on the video call with Dr. Now. This is after the reams of excuses about why he hasn't gone for a local weigh-in, the protein shakes not on the diet, and his total defiance of everything.
Bonus scene-Charles and brother eating out. Large taco salad, and Fanta orange is Charles' order. Definitely not on the diet.
Month 7-Flight to Houston. Of course Charles will be stared at, he has a camera crew with him. I can't believe he thinks Dr. Now will be happy to seem him without an appointment, or without any contact except hanging up on Dr. Now. His visit to Dr. Now's office is interesting. The look on Charles and the brother's face when he weighs in at 677 is stunned.
Did I fall asleep and miss the B-B-Q stop? Or did they cut it? (Last night, it was followed by Happy Farmer B-B-Q, and I bet epic amounts of carry out food and desserts. That place does have grilled options too.)
Then, after the clinic weigh-in Everett when Charles and Bradley say they'll never move to Houston is so wrong. But Charles still claims he will lose 40 lbs., and thinks Dr. Now will let him fly down to Houston and back immediately after surgery is bizarre. Then, Charles tells Dr. Now that he should get surgery in Seattle, which was the logical thing to do anyway. I wonder if he's already been refused for local programs? There's nothing Dr. Now can do to get another surgeon to take Charles in their program. (I can't believe I'm watching this tonight).

Dual Driving Disaster ; Aggressive Accounting (JJ doesn't understand, if a tax company finds out a customer lied on their return, they have to either refile it with the correct information, or notify the IRS fraud group. The accountant should have notified the IRS about whatever made them refile).
Emotional Vandal Pulls a Knife?!-This is the memorable case of the man who had a room rented in the defendant's house by his father, and landlord/defendant claims months before the eviction that the tenant/plaintiff damaged his house with a knife.)
Plaintiff (actually his father) (son) Josh Garver and (father) Gerald Garver wants the entire rent back, and all kinds of damages, and return of security deposit from defendant/former landlord Jason Weismann.
Plaintiff was driving to school, slid off of the road, and decided he needed to move closer to school where he could walk to school. So, right after the accident, he couch surfed, then bought a car (actually daddy bought the car), and found another apartment.
Plaintiff lived in his room for a week or two, then moved to the apartment, and paid rent through the end of the lease, and paid security deposit. I wouldn't give a penny to plaintiffs, Joshua decided to move out, Gerald decided to prepay the lease, so they relinquished their right to a refund.
Defendant / landlord didn't return the security deposit. Did defendant get a police report, and file charges about Joshua hacking the kitchen up?
Defendant had three other roommates, and I would be worried about Joshua's temper, and the tenants' safety. In my view, landlord/defendant should never have rented to the plaintiff, and was nuts for not pressing police charges when the vandalism happened. JJ has a text from Joshua admitting ripping the kitchen wiring apart, but discounts it because she feels sorry for Joshua.
Plaintiff gets $475. (At least the show pays the $475, not the landlord).
Birthday Corvette and Abandoned Dogs?!-Plaintiff Whitney Bonaparte suing defendant/ex-boyfriend John Logiudice for theft of a Corvette, and abandoning his dogs when he moved out of the house (after six years living together), and return of property.
When defendant left, he took some property, but left the dogs. Almost all of the cars owned by the defendant are unregistered. Plaintiff claims he gave her a Corvette to her for her birthday, but took it. Defendant has no titles to the cars, and plaintiff claims he buys the cars cheap, fixes them up, and then sells them and the buyer registers them. Plaintiff and defendant don't have titles for the cars, and the cars all have to be repaired, and then apply for titles then. My guess, they’re salvaged cars, or junked. MV-50 (New York State) you repair the vehicle, prove to DMV that you repaired it, and I bet pass inspection, then it gets a title. Plaintiff claims she doesn't have title or keys to the Corvette. You call a locksmith and they change the locks and make keys or key fobs, then you hire someone to get the Corvette running, and do the MV 50 form, and get a title.
JJ tells plaintiff to forget the Corvette. Plaintiff wants dogs taken by the defendant, (Bullies, and Cane Corso mixes). Cano Corsos are one person dogs, so I bet the dogs do miss him.
JJ says when defendant gets a place to live he can have the dogs back, but he needs to support them. I bet plaintiff had the dogs for years.
The Court Can't Help You?-Plaintiff Phyllis Charde suing defendant Shannon Hemmertfor value of a car, or return of a car plaintiff registered, or sold to defendant.
Plaintiff can't get a license, or drive or register a car legally. She claims that's because she was pulled over for driving without insurance (bull pucky). She claims she has priors from 2002, and the one no insurance ticket.
Car was in defendant's name, and defendant sold the car registered to her, but plaintiff says it was really her car.
Plaintiff bought a car, it was registered and insured in defendant's name, and plaintiff drove it. Plaintiff's grandson took the car, it was impounded, and defendant paid the $162 to get it out of impound.
Defendant sold the car, and gets to keep the money.

First case-Who cares? Not me.
Second case, monogram on right sleeve, but defendants put it on the shirt pocket. If plaintiff had checked the order form that had a box on where to put the monogram, then it would have been done correctly. Sorry, I see no reason to embroider your initial and last name on your shirt cuff. Unless they're work shirts, and you need your name on it, why do this? J. Barber doesn't even have a receipt for the price of the shirts, but still wants $1700 for his shirts. The most he should get is used shirt price, not new. So, plaintiff gets $1,000. Defendant gets the shirts.
Third Case-Plaintiff suing mechanic shop, for $5221, this was after an accident. Weeks after repair on the car rear end, plaintiff needed the front end repaired. Then, plaintiff gives a list of damages, that she has zero proof for. She wants $2,000 for the 'damages'.
Plaintiff gets $1,000 for nothing she can prove.

“Rentally Incapable”
New, Season 10, Episode
(Kenyada Ellsion vs. Phyllis Goldsmith)
From the show site: The house was in "perfect" condition when this tenant and her four kids moved out, according to her. But the landlady says floors were scratched, appliances were broken, and cabinets were glued shut. The tenant may have an imperfect definition of "perfect," but do the landlady's actions entitle her to her deposit back?
Plaintiff/former tenant suing defendant/former landlady for return of $4300 security deposit. Defendant is counter suing for $5,000. Plaintiff claims right after move in the house was a nightmare, and they stayed five years. Defendant claims the perfect house was trashed by plaintiff and her four children, including severely scratched floors, appliances destroyed, cabinets glued shut. Plaintiff says house was Section 8, so there was a move-in and move-out inspections by the housing authority. Defendant says she didn't know about an issue with the stove until move-out. Also, defendant says water heater went out, but after four years, and defendant had it replaced immediately, and spent $1600 on it. Security deposit was $5,000, but plaintiff paid $4300.
After four years (not five the way plaintiff claims) defendant gave 90 days notice to plaintiff to vacate, because defendant was selling her current home, and moving into the house occupied by the plaintiff.
Defendant is sleeping on a relative's couch, because she can't afford to fix the damages to her own house to enable her to move back in. Defendant claims the video from plaintiff of the walk through on move-out is altered, and the audio has been deleted. Landlady says move-out video of the walk through was when the cousin and plaintiff were there, and landlady was asking questions. (I'm sure Corriero will take plaintiff's side, but I believe the landlady). (This was in Gardena, CA).
Corriero takes plaintiff's side. Hosing authority failed plaintiff on the move out inspection, the move in inspection passed the defendant's property. Hardwood floors are trashed, tile looks bad. L.A. Country Housing Authority did the move-out inspection.
A company called Open Doors paid some of plaintiff's bills, the rest was Section 8.
Judges compare the move-in inspection, and everything passed. Move-out inspection is horrible.
Juarez says neither side have proof, and Tewolde agrees. Corriero wimps out again.
Decision is plaintiff didn't prove her case, per Juarez and Tewolde, so $0. Correiro would have given plaintiff $1500, so he dissents.

I've eaten ham with raisin sauce, too--New York. (Maybe not so excited to eat it again, I must admit.)
I have the vague idea that the chefs can't pull things once they have been rung up, but I'm not sure where I got that idea. Does anyone else think this is the case? It makes things harder on the chefs, but it respects the cashiers, who would have to be redoing the bills all the time. (If I haven't made this up entirely....)
I would split the money evenly, have everyone buy what they can with their own money, and if other team members want to donate left over money they can. It's totally unfair for Laura or Season 20 Tom, to take a lot more than their share.

Have you watched "Ripley" on Netflix? Filmed in Italy in black and white. Very slow moving story but highly intriguing.
I didn't get to watch the whole episode last night, only the end, so that's why I'm posting late.
Since this may have been the season finale, can anyone refresh my memory as to the success rate of the Poundticipants? How many actually got WLS? I seem to recall the season started out on a promising note with likeable people, then it was all downhill from there.
Krystal S. success, Rose great success, Abi success, Delana success. However, William, Shakyia, and Charles all failed.

I looked at the ideal weight chart, for 100 lbs. Charles can't be 5', he must be shorter.
I think Charles was another delusional poundticipant, who thinks he doesn't have to diet to get surgery, will instantly receive surgery when he goes to Houston, and can fly back to Washington right after surgery. And he'll magically lose hundreds of pounds without dieting.
If they ever considered moving to Houston for a few months, I bet the logistics of moving, getting an affordable place, and probably losing their Washington affordable housing changed their minds.

How did Danny wind up having to sacrifice the majority of his portion of the budget instead of everyone having to take some of their stuff off the bill – was it really just because he was the last at the register? On the other team, Rasika disproportionately sacrificing had a stated reason – she has immunity – but if there was one for him, I didn’t hear/see it (I was distracted at the time, but everyone else in the Live Chat thread was pissed too, so I don’t think there was one).
Of course, budget didn’t make him over-season his tahini, but thankfully a couple of others on his team screwed up far more than that; they were clearly the losing team, but he wasn't in danger of going home. I cringed when Charly started cooking his fish so ridiculously early, so no surprise it was hella overcooked. I’m sad to see him go, but he seemed a clear choice since it wasn’t just that he destroyed the fish, he didn’t get enough spice in the pikliz, either, when he knew the heat's what makes the dish.
Nice for Dan to get a win on a challenge that is a local favorite of his. I wasn’t all that excited just looking at it, but I appreciated hearing from the diner who said she normally doesn’t even bother with the relish tray because it’s boring, but his was special.
I liked the QF challenge. At least Charly won that, with a dish inspired by his mom, sweet after him saying he thinks a lot about wishing he could tell her all he’s grown up to do since her death. Also, I love W. Kamau Bell, and laughed at him knowing those were fight muscles, not gym muscles, on Manny.
I think the ones who sacrificed their dishes for Laura's budget busting purchases, were the ones who went through the register after her. I wish she had to go last, and stick to the budget. I think on team challenges they shoule have an even share of the budget, and after everyone makes their purchases, if anyone is under budget they can give that amount to the others.

I was angry when they showed the team with Laura taking so much of the budget for a cake that wasn't even good, and how it made her teammates dishes fail. That was so selfish. It wasn't that everyone agreed on the team either, Laura went through checkout, and the ones following her had to change everything to make up for her selfishness. I really thought she should have gone home for putting the "I" in Team.
It was like the Season 20 Picnic where Tom (I think Tom) took almost the whole team budget for a dish that failed. The producers have to find a way to make it fair on purchasing for the team challenges.

Charles wasted every effort. I suspect he's probably right back where he was when the show started.
I've been thinking about it, and next weeks WATN One Ton Family may be called "Supersized", but I remember a follow up episode about them about a year after their short season started. or maybe it was the last episode of the series. It may be a rerun with a few changes. One the chance it's really new I'll probably start it, but I'll have to see if I remember it.

lol 😂 I read it as fried chicken but that sounds delicious. I know fried chicken is fried but I don’t like overly greasy fried chicken….i recognize this makes zero sense
No, Chicken Fried Steak (white gravy) and Country Fried Steak (brown gravy) are both round steak, tenderized, and fried with the breading like fried chicken has on it. Meat and three places are very popular here, a meat entree with three sides.
Month 10-Everett, and the sister shows up. He's now struggling again. And he's drinking juice with dinner. Now, he talks about getting surgery in Seattle. So, Charles thinks he'll claim to move to Houston, get surgery, and then sneak back to Everett.
No surprise, he's not going to Houston for surgery, and he's doing a video call with Dr. Now. He wants Dr. Now to refer him to a Seattle surgeon.
Tomorrow night is the 2 hour Supersized of Charles. I think I'm skipping that.

Actually, chicken fried steak is with white gravy, country fried steak is with brown gravy. Sweet tea is something I can't explain.
Month 7-677 lb.
Month 8-Back in Everett. 15 minutes from the end of the episode, this is a snoozefest.
Month 9-still in Everett. Another tie died shirt, and on his way to his Uber to the local clinic. Weight: 604 lbs. down 73 lbs. I'm surprised he did that well. Call to Dr. Now, and Dr. Now tells him to lose 40 more lbs in two months, and move to Houston. If he meets those two conditions he'll get surgery. Charles says he's not moving to Houston, still thinks he can get surgery and fly back to Everett.

I swear by Kohl's Tek Gear brand. Very durable.
I understand TSC (yes, Tractor Supply) leggings are very sturdy, and comfy. However, I understand they run a little big.
Month 7-At least he changed shirts. He's on his way to the airport. It's 4-hour flight. He's too wide to fit between the passenger lines. He's delusional if he thinks he'll only need two seats. He talkes up two seats, and even more, and his brother doesn't even really have one seat. This visit is a surprise to Dr. Now, that is not a good situachon. I don't think Dr. Now will be surprised at all. The weigh-in should be interesting, and the visit to Room 5.
Still Month 7-in Houston. He surprised Dr. Now alright, and Dr. Now is ticked.
Still Month 7-And the big visit to Dr. Now. Weight: 677 lbs. He's only 5' tall. And the trip to Room 5.

Tonight's episode is the 7th of season 12. Next week it is WATN Supersized: One Ton Family. So, I guess tonight is the end of the season.
His story of changing addictions reminds me of Doug from Texas several season ago.
Charles Bridgman, Age: 31 , From: Everett, WA. Personal Care Assistant Yelena. Another young poundticipant. 5' tall. Sister works full time, brother's full time job is caretaker to Charles.
Breakfast: 5 eggs, with cheese, 7 biscuits, sausages. He lives with his sister and brother for free. He was on drugs, and after rehab he changed to food addiction. His pictures show he was always big, even as a toddler. 180 lbs by middle school, grandmother was a major enabler.
350 to 400 lbs by the time he went to rehab, and then he traded drug addiction for even more food addiction. Charles, brother and sister all live in low income housing. I can't believe that grocery cart full of every junk food available.
Month 1-video call to Dr. Now. Dr. Now says he should weigh 100 lbs. at 5' tall, so needs to lose 500 lbs. Dr. Now tells him he has to lose weight before he goes to Houston, and he'll have to stay in Houston for a while after surgery. Charles is about to get ugly with Dr. Now. Charles says brother will go on the diet too, but brother doesn't look overweight. He's being sent to a local clinic for a weigh in. 50 lbs a month is his goal, and he has to be much smaller, and walking easily before going to Houston.
Month 2-Working on Dr. Now's program at home. His labored breathing worries me. He missed the appointment at the local weigh-in clinic.
Month 4-Still doing the program at home, with diet and exercise, and still no weigh-in. He's getting another video call with Dr. Now about the lack of communication or weigh-in. Dr. Now doesn't allow protein shakes, and he calls them empty calories, and poor nutrition. Charles slams the laptop shut because Dr. Now told him the truth, and he tells the camera crew to leave.
Month 5-Still on the protein shakes. And the camera crew showed a taxi/van driving by. At least he's walking better. And he's a smoker. He thinks in Month 6 he can fly to Houston.
Month 6-He's going to the lake and go fishing, and picnic with his brother. If he can use the taxi/Uber for fishing, then he can go to the local clinic for a weigh-in.
I liked the Fresh Pet commercials with the sister and trailer, and the garage/man cave one.
GLP-1 Ro commercials on this show seems a bit much.

This week is a new poundticipant, Charles. Next week 24 April is WATN One-Ton Family Supersized. So, I guess tonight's episode is the end of the regular season.
I'm suspicious about the WATN One-Ton Family being new, or if they slapped Supersized on it to make it 'new'. I remember a follow up with the family the last time, so it might not be new.

“You've Lost Your Trucking Mind”
New, Season 10, Episode
(Andre Jackson vs. Marvin Anderson)
From the show site: A trucker broke down in South Dakota and spent his own money to repair a leased big rig. The owner points to the contract, saying repairs are the driver's responsibility. But is it fair for the driver to pay for wear and tear that pre-dates his possession of the truck?
Plaintiff Jackson suing defendants for truck lease he says they owe. Defendants claim the truck broke down after plaintiff lied about the condition of the truck, and are countersuing for truck repairs and lost wages. Defendant said he had to replace a couple of tires, check engine light was on, and brakes needed repairs. $3700 was the cost of repairs to defendant.
Defendant's witness is his wife, Marvet Anderson. She says they rented truck for three months, paid the first month only. She says it was the brake repair, airbags were out, etc. Corriero, as always, takes the defendants' side.
The litigants disagree on the mileage on the truck, when payment was due. They also disagree on the condition of the truck. Plaintiff says until truck ready after starting the check engine and other lights come on, and then when truck is ready to go, the warning lights go off.
Corriero goes totally on the defendants' side. Juarez says plaintiff didnt defraud the defendants.
$2404 for defendant, this is minus the lease price to plaintiff, but takes care of defendant's repair bills.

I was very confused about the layout of the farm. It looked like the cheese building was removed from the main house, and totally separate. I wondered about the second big building, but it wasn't mentioned at all. Maybe caretaker's cottage?
-
The Where are They Now last night was asking if they really fixed up the fixer upper they bought.
Including a fixer that was purchased for $725,000 or so, when their budget was $1 million if turnkey. The wife ripped out virtually everything. The after looked like a generic model home, right out of a decorating magazine. I bet the finished house was way over the $175,000 they saved on the initial purchase.
The second couple irritated me so much by constantly mentioning how quirky and unique they were I turned it off.

S21.E05: Supper Club
in Top Chef
I suspect the 'supper club' aspect was to get people in the door, and guessing that people would become regular customers, and buy a lot of drinks. Profit is huge in liquor sales. Since they started in the 1920's I bet that was also a way to have liquor with dinner, since it was a private 'club'.
