You are my sib from another crib! 

Absolutely stealing this phrase!

[SunnyBeBe]

He’s similar to the others. He likes the food more than he fears death.

Poutine is healthier.

I dunno about that. I can eat my weight in poutine. Even the bad stuff from fast food restaurants. Except McDonald's poutine - that shit is an abomination and they should have been kicked out of Canada just for adding it to the menu... oh, wait, they have spicy habanero McChickens now. Never mind, they can stay. 

[WonTon]

At least he's self-aware, not like the rest of this season. All the episodes have been giant whine fests (and not the good kind 🍷

[CrazyInAlabama]

Someone needs to confiscate Yasmin's wardrobe of exercise leggings, and tank tops, and please no cold shoulder tops.    That poor van, and now that poor car are being asked to pull a lot of weight. 

24 pounds down to 593 is poor performance.    I bet the pizza delivery guy dropped in a few times a week.

I've seen a few of the foot show, I like it. Dr. Ebonie is GREAT. 

The male Dr went to DPM school with my surgeon. I think I like it because I have a degenerative bone disease in both feet that causes my bones to turn mush and dislocate. Both feet have been reconstructed, many with the disease face amputation. So when they say “big toe” tonight I kind of wonder what the big deal is. Just my perspective. 

[mmecorday]

I don't mind "My Feet Are Killing Me" as much now. Last week Dr. Ebonie used a cadaver bone to recreate a toe.

They do? They didn't in my school. I had home ec/shop class in grade 8 and took cooking class as an elective in grade 9 and 10 and there was no nutrition taught. Lots of english muffin pizzas and chocolate chip cookies, no calories. 

The first thing we learned in Home Ec. was how to make white sauce.  We also made some kind of biscuit from scratch involving cheese and tomato juice.

We did learn to use sewing machines and to sew from patterns, which was useful.

I also learned on a manual typewriter in Typing class.  I learned to drive a stick-shift.

[Chicklet]

I have never tried poutine, but i looove me some cheese curds. 

Now when I think of snacking, Dr. Now pops into my head and says no.

[Gbb]

Do y’all think the people on the Feet and Pimple Popper boards see 600 lb life commercials and wonder who on earth is watching that like we do about them? 🤔

My son is 42. They had nutrition even back when he was in grade school. They took home ec (with the nutrition) 1 term and shop the next. Boys and girls took both courses. 

Good Lord - she walks in the door and he's asking about dinner? It's a good thing she doesn't conceal carry, 'cause there's not a jury of women that would convict her. 

I'm 39. We didn't have home ec, and they didn't teach nutrition at all during my k-12 years. That's definitely a regional thing. 

Of course he's hungry. He's had a long day of eating snacks! 🤣🤣🤣

Counterpoint: I order something called a Spicy Perogy pizza (Canadians say heeeey!) which is: a sour cream base, sliced spicy potatoes, cheddar and mozza blend, bacon, and green onions. Lemme tell you, that needs to be dipped in spicy mayo. Like, there's just no way around it. Plain mayo is acceptable but spicy is best. 

That's so weird, dipping doesn't add to or subtract anything from it!

WHAAAAT?! McDonald's has poutine in Canada?! TELL ME MORE.

Also, everyone's eating habits are a whole lot more interesting than this episode.

Sticking with an eating plan is tough, but damn, being on tv would keep my ass on track.

Shoot, I'm a weirdo and watch 'em all! 

[gameshowjunkie]

I kind of like him and am rooting for him but he is lazy AF. Forget the wedding- his first goal should be to GET A JOB! And learn to cook, dammit!

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m only up to MONTH 2, but this music is noticeably less depressing as it has been. 

[buffo]

Ow ! MY LEG ! !

[Concerned]

Even if you didn’t learn nutrition in high school, there’s plenty of information online, on YouTube, and in books. This guy needs a subscription to Men’s Health magazine.

Ugh, "My Feet are Killing Me!!" Please stop! What's next? "I Have 12 Elbows."

At least that awful family nail show seems to be gone! 

I can't stand Anna Kendrick! Edited to add...and her resting bitch face

Not that I want to be on TV but I could sure use the accountability!!

It adds spicy mayo to the pizza. Spicy. Mayo. 

Makes sense to me.

Too true!  I can rotate this with "My Sister from another Mister" now.

[umgoblue]

What I have been able to ascertain thus far is that they episode is quite boring.   Evidence: page amount, monotone script reading, poutine discussion, Dr. Ebonie and the feet killing discussion, home ec., ect...nearly ANYTHING, but Travis.

I think I will get a proper dinner...back soon.  Ha!

I’m amazed at how some people are online around the clock but never manage to read anything educational.

Hilton needs to replace her with someone less annoying Like Carrot Top.

They probably cut it along with the arts and music programs because who needs those!

Arts, music and sports help poor people get out of poverty. Can't have that. And nutrition education? How would the fast food industry make money if people ate healthy? And, to be totally cynical, making people fat and useless keeps them from rising up against the prolotariat.

I feel like any time poutine comes up in an internet forum, it leads to a discussion on poutine including but not limited to: the best kinds of poutine, what restaurants sell it and which ones shouldn't, brown sauce versus gravy, a side bar on cheese curds, and the random three people that are like "EWWWW!"

A Facebook friend posted it as an alternative for gender fluid and non binary folks. But she stole it too, so I can't credit her! 

[Guest]

Where is Travis getting money to afford Balenciaga sneakers?! And I spied an LV and Gucci bag in that pile, too! If you have that kind of coin, get a better apartment!

[Ivylady]

Ah, the stress of looking for a new apartment. Somehow, I don't think he's stuck to the diet as well as he claims. 

[88Keys]

I like the mom.  "Pterodactyl arms."  Lol.

[Azubah]

Gloria has great teeth.

This leads me to my usual comment - They knew enough to refer to 'Dr Now' when talking to each other about the 1st visit. Why don't any of these people look for the diet online and try to lose a little weight at least, or try eating different foods, before they go to Houston? I don't understand them. You can't be bothered to even try a diet at home, but go to Houston and it's "1200 calories? No carbs? No problem, Doc." Please.

Ha little pteradactyl arms, which is true it seems since he "can't help with the moving.

[DropTheSoap]

Hey Pounders -- I'm late tonight. Guess he missed first goal, eh?

My eating habit tonight was 2 squares of 78% dark chocolate.

Reminds me of the time we had a lively discussion about peeling cucumbers!

I love you. Run away with me. 

[mmecorday]

Must he make that goat noise every time he moves?

[WonTon]

Just occurred to me, no teeny-tiny dog?

[Gbb]

Looks like a similar layout to Mom’s apartment.  

[Pepper Mostly]

Now he's going to sit there and watch everyone work. Here's a tip, Tubs. Take a five minute break. Then resume work. You are not an invalid. Sheesh. 

[Chicklet]

Oh no, now Lola can tell them to get a bed.

Gosh darn it - I got these little 'chocolate discs' from Imperfect Foods. They just melt in your mouth. I believe I have some right in my desk drawer here. Why yes, here they are. Just waiting. Thanks for reminding me.😃

[gameshowjunkie]

Pushed himself? Did we see him do anything?
