What is wrong with sharing a room? It is a great way to learn to co-habitate as an adult.
I know, right? In a family as large as this it should be the norm. It is a rather ridiculous expectation that each child would get a room to themselves.
I grew up in a family with 5 kids and I just now realized that in my entire almost 60 years of life I have never had a room all to myself: childhood, college and now marriage. Maybe that plays into the resentment I feel when I see that these kids (or their parents) have this opinion that all their kids are entitled to their own rooms.

When Kody decides to move again, as you just KNOW he will, I wonder if he even gave a thought as to how difficult a big plyg house would be to sell. They are already having a heck of a time selling their normal houses. Who in the world, unless someone wants to open a small hotel, would buy that house? He really lacks even a tiny bit of financial common sense.

Truely’s dramatic scream/faint when Mitch Dipped Aspyn was the most adorable thing ever.

Using the term “verged” is being incredibly kind.
TLC’s bread n’ butter are the “kind” version of a freak show. A glimpse at the lineup brings you “Inseperable” about twins joined at the head, “30 inches and Turning 18”, “Little Life on the Prarie”, “The Little Couple” and “7 Little Johnston’s” (4 shows about “Little” people,) Dr. Pimple Popper, Sister Wives, My Big Fat Fabulous Life, etc.
All they need is the “Bearded Woman” and a “Dog Face Boy”.
You forgot “The Man With the 132 Pound Scrotum”.

I hope they at a least changed the sheets.
Poor dogs.
I doubt there were sheets on the bed to begin with. Most of these people never seem to use sheets.

Don't know if anybody noticed, but a couple of the dogs looked like older ones. My heart sank just thinking of them having lived iin those conditions for 9, 10, 11 years or more.
And yet, the poor things greeted Jeanne and Barbara like returning royalty. Granted, they probably were excited at the thought of finally getting fed, but they seemed to really like them despite the shitty life their humans forced on them.

How did they get food when they were dropped off back at their house by the medical transport? Neither one of them was in good enough shape to even take a taxi to a grocery store. I am concerned about whether those dogs are getting fed properly.

I have little compassion for Jeanne who refuses to drop her mantle of victim hood that she wears so proudly, but those dogs...they did not ask for this kind of life and they have no control over their circumstances. I am more worried about the dogs than any humans in this story.

So in her first trip to Houston, she can barely squeeze into a pickup truck, but the second trip, where she does not look much smaller to me, she slides into a small sports car. How did she manage that? Maybe that rental car crybaby should watch this episode to see how it’s done.

“Chrisshun. Chrisshun. Chrisshun. Chrisshun-uh! Answer me when I am talking to you!”
That little exchange right there encapsulated so much that was wrong about Maja and how she dealt with other people. I am truly surprised that Christian didn’t try smothering her with a pillow a long time ago.

Honestly, what would the answer be if an airline employee fielded a question via phone call asking, "How far is it from God Knows Which Gate I May arrive at" in Houston Airport to the baggage claim? Does anyone tabulate that? Is the information available on Google Maps, perhaps? I'd love to know who she decided to call and what their answer was.
Just like people are told in a fancy upscale boutique asking about prices: “if you have to ask, it’s too much”.

Even Justin’s voiceover sounded different from other patients. No stilted, flat monotone...it is obvious that he is very bright. Even though he suffers from some of the same issues as others-depression, anxiety and food addiction-he has managed to not use them as excuses.
justin has a lot going for him, including a really special dad.

These poor guys. When that drill hit granite when they were expecting a chamber, and when their engineering spectacle started springing leaks, I felt so bad for them. Luckily I had hunky astrophysicist Dr. Taylor to keep me entertained while they searched for Templars under every rock. I am not sure I buy his astronomical map theory, but I sure liked watching him pitch it.

Casey is not bedbound. He should be filling up his own horse trough whenever he wants to take a bath. It would be good strength training for him, carrying all those pots of water out to the back deck to fill it.

I found the underwater camera during the pool party scene to be tasteless and as exploitative as the gratuitous naked shower scenes in M600PL. We get it. These people are overweight. No need to have a creepshot from the bottom of the pool looking up at them. I was scared to death one of the guys would accidentally flash us because the cameraman had his lens practically poking up the leg of their swim trunks.
Also, I just remembered a zoom in shot they made of the woman who just had weight loss surgery (can’t remember her name). She was sitting poolside and the camera zoomed in and lingered on her legs and abdomen. At the time I thought it was really unnecessary.

He is the living embodiment of that huge guy in his thirties, sitting on his bed playing video games, that we all hear about. Late at night, when the crew is gone and everyone is asleep, I'll bet a week's pay that its all internet trolling. And porn.
This is dead on. Casey seems to be a not very nice person on his best days, and he seems to have quite a bad temper when he doesn’t get what he wants. I always imagine that people that enjoy trolling are angry, unhappy with their lives and want to make others as unhappy as they are. I think, from the little bit that I have seen of him so far, that he fits this mold.

The scene where his dad brings him McDonald’s and casey looks in the bag and says “I got bad news for you. If you ordered lunch for yourself it’s not in here” or something like that. Then he throws a container of fries at his dad to eat for lunch and he dumps the 4 or 5 sandwiches in the bag out and tries to stack them onto each other so he can more quickly and efficiently cram them into his face. It was infuriating.

He was already so heavy that he had to quit his job and got kicked out of his mom’s house, so the BS about blaming his weight mostly on his dad had me practically wanting to kick in my tv screen.

I am liking this family for the most part, but that redheaded man-child Casey I can see is already going to get on my last nerve.

Does anyone else think that Laird (the archeologist) doesn't seem to say much? He appears to get steamrolled by all of the alpha dogs running around. On a completely superficial note-the big blond from the explosive company was pretty cute. I loved that accent too.
Gary Dayton seems to be just as knowledgeable as Laird when it comes to anything that is dug up. Laird doesn’t seem very sure of himself, and I get the feeling that he is in over his head. What I am wondering is why they had to ask whether they can remove the moss from stones, but they also cut down a whole bunch of trees and made that huge cofferdam. Wouldn’tthe Canadian government had a problem with those drastic measures?
As for the big blonde, he sure caught my attention too. ;-)

That woman looks even more plastic and artificial than Theresa if that is possible. Larry definitely has a “type”.

I thought the Gabby Barrett logo merchandise that her dad was sporting (as well as others in the Pittsburgh segment) was the most obnoxious thing I had ever seen. Talk about being full of oneself! What other singing competition contestant would have the huge ego to think they were a “brand” already? She gets on my last nerve.

Once again, even though some of them have lost over 200 lbs (I couldn’t really keep up with who lost how much; I kept drifting in and out of sleep) they really don’t look very different. I think it is because I was hoping to see their attitudes change, or they would look more lively or engaged with the world, but even after losing that much weight they still seem to spend a lot of time draped over the furniture like discarded clothes. Rotunda (dammit I can’t think of her real name now, LOL) really does have some nice clothes, though. I thought her hair and her outfit looked really put together at the doctor visit when she had that long red striped cardigan and those patent leather flats on.

She [Gabby] has talent and stage presence but I just can't warm up to her. I think it's because her confidence sometimes comes across as cocky and arrogant. When they crown winners they always seem shocked and humbled to varying degrees. She strikes me as if she would act shocked but not really mean it because she knew all along she was the best. Or like she was entitled to it. Just my opinion.
Oh, this is so true. I started out being a huge fan when Hollywood Week started, but even then her cockiness was starting to get under my skin. But her backstory made me root for her. Over time, she began to show her true colors little by little and my preference for her faded. Last night was the ultimate when she brazenly basically asked Katy Perry on live television for a job as opening act for her tour. How classless! She is pretty young, I know, but still that is not the way to try to “network”. It made her look so full of herself. Turned me off all the way. I took away any votes I had planned to throw her way.

I happened to screenshot that moment because I was going to do a side by side comparison with Charles Manson...he looked so cray at that moment.
i was too lazy to search for a Manson photo, but here is that screenshot. And yes, he looks completely unhinged.
