S08.E05: Gina's Story LIVE CHAT

[CrazyInAlabama]

Yes, she polished off a full bag of family size chips, and it's over 2200 calories, then needs Burger King?   If you divide the 25 hours to Houston by 11 days, it's only 2.3 hours of driving per day, add in at least 5 hours for drive thru stops, and it sounds like the people on this show.  

You can tell the camera crew hates her, they usually only show the drive thru marathons on the Bonus Scenes on the Friday Supersized version.    I bet the film crew are wearing the same respirators that they use for Ebola exposure.     

Who ever is designing those cold shoulder tops for the giant on this show need to stop.    

Sorry, but the four hours of driving probably included a bunch of drive thru stops too, so probably they weren't 'driving' four hours, just in the car that long.      Please, someone tell me Beth leaves her in a rest stop and goes to rescue the dog.

Not even going to attempt to keep up with reading the posts until tomorrow. Lol 

I'm keeping up with the posts because the alternative is to have all my attention on this gaggle of hosebeasts. Or switch to Forged in Fire. But I'd rather hang out with y'all.

[Chicklet]

Beth should take the car and just drive into the sunset alone. She'd be happier.

Suddenly that 11 day round trip claim doesn't seem so wacky. 

It's going to take them 11 days just to get there.

You know... I live in NY and I have a great surgeon on Long Island. But my doc wouldn't put up[ with Gina's BS for three seconds. Dr. Now is going to have his hands full.

My god she orders Beth around like the goddamn Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland. 

She's so exhausted guys. Sitting in the car for four hours was unimaginable torture. Fucking drama queen. 

Off with your head on the way to the deli. Like, now, you have to. 

[sagittarius sue]

She lies back on the hotel room pillows.  I hope they dispose of them afterwards.  They have to stink to high heaven.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I thought she was an Accountant when the episode started by having her say every day is pure hell.

[calpurnia99]

She has no intention of changing, she enjoys laying there bossing everyone around

This show is so bad for my hotel phobia 

[ShortyMac]

These people are all the same. Horrible childhood, partner that has no self-esteem or self-worth, and hates conflict, enabling partner and family.

At least they made it 4 hours in the first day.  Not the worst we have seen on the show...  I wonder if she will fit into the hotel shower?  They tend to be huge especially if you get disabled room?  Then she won't have an excuse not to shower...

I am almost surprized she gets her fat ass to the toilet instead of asking for a bucket to be brought to her chair/couch...

I don't remember any pounticipants complaing about the shower.  Toilet and bed, and WTF hardwood floors.  But most of these folks, if they can get takeout and flop down are good.  They already showered in Scene 1.

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’ve never been so happy for commercial breaks. It’s saying something when tlc commercials are considered a palate cleanser.

what is so damn scary?  And she moves pretty good for someone so big .... wearing shoes and real clothes and everything .... 

it's always so SCARY.  One night I'm going to try to count how many times a participant says they're SCARED. 

If they're not scared, Dr. Now won't see them.  Think its a prerequisite.  Although I think the writers at TLC are getting lazy with the scripts they're having them read.

Jeeze,, how long did it take them to FINALLY get to Houston?

There we go another "SCARED"

[poeticlicensed]

I'm guessing 755

 

[Chicklet]

The scale isn't saying it's "screaming" get off of me!

Oh her hair is a crime.

[Hana Chan]

Oh, that was an angle I didn't need to see...

 

[ams1001]

Who the hell writes these scripts? So repetitive.

She's wearing slippers...

606.7

"Not the worst number I imagined."

[gameshowjunkie]

We forgot to guess weight!

[MsVixen]

Because when you walked into the doctor's office, you fucking reeked!  Who wants to work on a compost heap?

 

[Hellga]

606.7.   Should have been 666!  The scale is surely off!

[TMI]

The scale will say ....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH help me

[LookABird]

It's astonishing how limited their goals are.  Walking to the car.  Sitting in a car for five hours.

Incredibly sad.

[Donut Bear]

If she had taken her shoes off she would have weighed less

[Caoimhe]

She’s happy it isn’t higher!  More fast food on the trip home to fix the “anxiety”.

[Pepper Mostly]

I missed her weight! What does this sow weigh? Over 700? 

[7EasyPayments]

The scale will say - OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miracle Maxie]

She's about 100 lbs less than I thought she'd be.

 

[Callaphera]

Dr. Now: "So what brought you down to Texas?"

Really?

[Azubah]

I think the bingo card is already filled.

[Guest]

Why is Dr Now asking them "what brings you down to Texas?" 

Should he KNOW?

[FormeryHeavyJ]

That thing on the left side of her face reminds me of Mrs. Malenoma from Uncle Buck.  Here's quarter....go have a rat chew it off.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Also, you know Momma wasn't going anywhere near Dr Now. Like he wouldn’t say anything about her, too. 

[mmecorday]

"Beth, you should be calling

The restaurant right now.

Because I'm sitting here starving

And you're always somewhere else."

[Hana Chan]

"Not eating the right things... I snack a lot..."

LIAR!!!!!

[ams1001]

BMI of 100.

Gina, in her head: "I hear the food is fantastic! And the portions are so big!"

[FormeryHeavyJ]

[Concerned]

606. And “This is my last chance” and “Where are you coming from.” “Your eating habit,” that’s a bingo right there.

[LizzyB]

Dr. Now really upping his joke game--the ol' baseball bat/head hurts joke! 😂

[DC Gal in VA]

What's the scale gonna say? It's gonna say "Get the Fuck offa me you ginormous, funky ass beeotch!"

[CrazyInAlabama]

That red dress is hideous!  

[Hellga]

Eating out of boredom is terribly common... but most people do have at least one other hobby!

[Chicklet]

What brought you to Texas?

Er..the car?

Oh and all the blubber you are sitting on.

[Wanda]

These people must watch the show. They know they’re being filmed. Are they told to panic Dr Now will say no? He never turns someone down on the first visit. Not the second either, even when you screw up. Only when you sit on the toilet and keep asking him if he believes in God while sneaking whole pizzas in the hospital does he tell you to fuck off.

[String Theory]

And I was upset this morning when I went to my physical and my BMI was 25!

Can't imagine having a 100 BMI......

She just ate a BAG OF CHIPS!  Apparently they didn't help in "calming her down" enough so she needs another 798797954739574937548 milligrams of sodium.

Chips are my weakness, I will hover a bag faster than these folks 😂I don't keep them in the house.

Same. 

[gameshowjunkie]

50 lbs in 2 munt? Has he gone soft?

[Donut Bear]

Geez just 50 pounds in 2 months!  Usually it is 100.

[Pepper Mostly]

She eats because she's bored. Get a damn hobby, girl! Take up crocheting or something to keep your hands busy!
