That was my favorite part of the episode. It was right after the initial meeting with Dr. Now. I was just flabbergasted. Usually they at least make a half assed attempt to follow the diet. She didn't even try. From day one, she had no intentions of following the diet.

I had a feeling that Dolly was not going to do well. But then about 2/3 of the way through, she went back to her abusive husband to be a sister wife? WTF? Edited to add: Well that didn't last long. She got engaged to Phillip after 6 weeks? Now they're both homeless and her mother is fed up. This woman is a real mess.

What a strange episode. First it begins so abruptly. I thought I had accidentally started in the middle. Margaret seems so incredibly mentally damaged that she needs a lot of therapy and probably some medications. It goes without saying that these tantrums, and lying around naked, are not normal for an adult. Margaret is pretty awful, but it's hard not to feel sorry for her. She's just perpetuating that awful cycle of abuse from her father and paternal grandmother.

I don't remember anything about this episode other than the cockroaches in the original apartment. I noticed one before the part where the camera explicitly zoomed in on them during the moving to Houston part. Chrystal was doing a "talking head" as they call it, and I thought I saw something else on the screen move. I had to rewind and take a second look, but it was definitely a cockroach. I shouldn't judge though. When I lived in Indianapolis, I was terrible with keeping clean and I had a roach infestation in my kitchen.

I guess I can watch recent episodes through the Discovery Plus subscription I never watch. My roommate watches it a lot but not me. Nice guy. Nice couple. I was surprised he made the weight goal on his second appointment. That doesn't happen often.

This was a disappointing episode. At first, Ryan seemed like a nice guy and I thought he was going to make it. But then it just went downhill. Once he mentioned taking cheat days, I knew it was all downhill from there. When Leroy caught him with those chicken fingers, I reflexively yelled "BUSSSSSTEEEEEED" at my TV. Near the end, he was scarfing down the cheesesteak and fries and saying "I've come close to quitting" and I'm just thinking "It seems like you've already quit". I'll bet anything Mom and Leroy were willing to move to Houston with him at first, but when he kept ignoring the diet, they realized he wasn't going to shape up and that it wasn't worth uprooting themselves for this screw up. I also find it suspicious when he said his boss at the call center fired him for being too fat. Montana is the one state out of all 50 that doesn't have at-will employment, so he should have been protected from being fired for such a capricious reason.

It was interesting to watch this back to back with the original episode. Refreshing to see Dr. Now bring the obese family member into the program too. There needs to be more of that. It was frustrating to see the weigh in appointments. It was great to see Nathan succeed, but it sucked to see Amber fail. I hope she has managed to pull it together by now and was able to get her 2nd surgery.

Mike's a smart and nice guy, and we have the same name, so it's good to see him succeed. I'm glad Dr. Now was flexible with the moving to Houston thing, given Mike's custody battles. So it's nice that Mike was able to minimize his time in Houston to a mere 2 months.

I just can't get a good head of steam, or experience any schadenfreude. about Lacey the way I could about, say James King or Lashanta, because 1) she seemed too stupid to be conniving and 2) Sharon was such a raging, hot blooded meanie. I don't get why Dr. Now would want anyone to come to Houston for anything but the first appointment and the surgery. There are doctors all over the country; you don't need to travel so far just to get your weight checked. I know he often tells people to go to local clinics (and he did this with Lacey) but he seems spotty about that. Sometimes you'll get someone hauling ass all the way from Ohio just to get a follow up appointment. I guess this is more of a gripe with the show in general than this specific episode.

NVM.... you answered this before I posted.

That fierce argument in the car was hard to watch. Sharon has a hell of a temper and you can tell is fiercely protective of Ricky. I can't figure out how that escalated so quickly. It feels like there's a bunch of unaired backstory that would have been important. I can't believe they just dumped Lacey in the middle of nowhere. That's a low blow. I liked Dr Now's analysis that Lacey makes rash, destructive decisions. Same here. Lacey is pretty messed up in the head, and not very bright, but she didn't deserve to be thrown out like a bag of trash. I'm glad she ended up on her feet and not homeless in Texas.

Did this just air? I don't have cable or anything so I probably cannot watch it for a while. I've been catching up on old seasons on Hulu. I'm on season 10 (Lacey's Story) at the moment.

Halfway through this one. I feel like I'm watching two people who demonstrate the textbook definition of the term "dimwit". Rickey and Lacey seem like nice people, but they seem so flipping stupid. Why are they moving to Houston when Lacey has not met any of Doctor Now's weight loss goals? He told them not to do that. They're not the first nincompoops to do that. When Lacey said "I'm not eating as much pizza as I used to", I screamed "you're not supposed to eat any pizza you idiot!"
-
That voice just wormed it way into my head. I find myself involuntarily doing an impression of Lashanta saying "but doctor now give me one moooore chaaaance". It's just exasperating how many times she completely failed to make any progress and begged for another chance, insisting it would be better this time.

I liked this one and thought Michael and Kim had such a beautiful and loving marriage. I was saddened with the endoscopy results and hope he is able to get the surgery eventually. I was confused though. It sounds like the scar tissue is just a problem for the instruments they use to do the surgery laparoscopicly. Couldn't they just do it the old fashioned way and open him up? But it looks like he did lose a bunch of weight according to his Insstagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CyLzVkzrHC3/
