It's probably less the going down and more the going back up. When I hurt my knee, going downstairs was fine. Going up? Excruciating. 

Between my terrible knees and my terrible ankles both up and down are fraught with peril!

What do you suppose they talk about? Books? Movies? The current political scene? 

Existentialism and the origins of the universe.

[Donut Bear]

If they all go into Dr.  No’s office, that will be hilarious. Mom, Shantel,, Carleton, Cash, Shantel’s husband, Monica, and three kids. Have I missed anyone?

[Hellga]

I think Shantel weighs more than Carlton.  She looks more... voluminous.  Though maybe she is shorter... but she is older and thus has had a few more years of eating like  champ.

[Suzywriter]

I walked out for a moment, walked back in to smelly grimy-looking Carlton hugging a blonde. He has a girlfriend?

Does she know he takes dumps in a plastic bin lined with garbage bags yet?   

It might be her new job to put them in place for him and empty them!

I live by myself and it can be difficult to just be with me sometimes. 😄

Same here.

My best friend lives in a two-family house. She and her husband and two kids (5 and 7) live downstairs; her mom, sister, and her sister's two kids (11 and 20) live upstairs (though the older one's in college an hour away so she's not home most of the time). (They also used to have three large dogs between them.) The kids are...stompy. And yelly. And don't listen so mom gets yelly. I love them but I could not live in that house.

 

[Chicklet]

But will we have the drama of pretend heart attacks like Joyce had?

His online name is Plastic Bin Pooper

[FormeryHeavyJ]

His body hurts from the clean in those clean sheets.

[DEG9]

I'm sure this is not something most want to think about, but sometime people of that weight have to employ... carpenter built equipment to, shall we say, have 'relations'. Don't ask how I know this.

[Psycho Suzy]

LOL. He just said that his body is wearing down fast but he remains focused. Is that focus on a little hanky-panky with his serial killer friend?

[Hellga]

3 hours a day - talk about low expectations!

[Pepper Mostly]

They have to stop at a nice, clean, neat hotel. Torture. 

[Kid]

He wants it until he sees that diet! How fast he changes his mind will give you whiplash!

Yep, I get annoyed just fighting with my 9 lb dog over the blanket.

We had that fight just last night.. she won.

Damn I’m late again. Took puppy for a walk and he would not poop. This bunch look like real winners! Gonna try to catch up so I can snark in real time. 

Keep a garbage bag nearby. Preferably the ones that are Febreeze scented.

Great, now Jazz joins the ad parade.     

I bet that's right, night time departure, equals skipping on the rent.

Three days on the road, and only to Benton, AR?    Columbus to Dr. Nows is 18 hours, but almost all on interstates.   

Monica is not a light weight either.      Slam that door Monica!    

The entire family needs the Dr. Now diet.  

[DropTheSoap]

Carlton - 636
Shantel - 663
Catfish - 305
Michael - 360

We have Hoarders, 90 day fiance, 600 lb life representing so what could possibly be next? Intervention? Who's got the drugs? GF is running from the mob or something- thats why she moved with them.

Just started watching. That house!!! Do they not own a vacuum or a a broom???

Their faces never change expression while they eat. Totally mindless eating. 

Yet it's "the only thing that makes her feel good."

It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to eat
And another child grows up to be
Somebody who loves to eat more too

Mom loves the both of them [or does she?]
You see, it's in the blood
Both kids love their food
Blood's thicker than the mud

It's a family affair

Yes, it's a family affair with mass quantities of food.  Will each of the siblings have their very own recliner?  Will they hold challenge matches to see who can eat the most?  Will we get double the bathing scenes? Is tupperware involved?

Let's watch and see.  Join us in the snarkfest that is the LIVE CHAT thread.  

Original air date 2020.02.19. 

Didn't want to forget to say that it's not every decade day somebody makes a Sly and the Family Stone reference; one of the best bands of all time! Well done. Thanks! 😊

[Ivylady]

I'm wondering if Monica was homeless or housing insecure,  so jumped at the chance to move in with anybody. 🤔 Make this make sense.

Now this can be an HGTV/TLC Show. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I hope nobody farts in that car.

[Callaphera]

Carlton: "We can only manage about 4 hours before we need to stop for food or a hotel."
Also Carlton: "We need to make it at least three hours today to make good time for tomorrow."

I guess counting isn't his strong suit.

[Chicklet]

And they make the husband go in to pick up the tons of food. Of course they do.

I've heard that ramps of an adult nature are quite common in inter-weighted couples.

Housing insecure but had wifi/mobile to maintain an online relationship.

Even if they did, they're so exhausted from hauling their huge masses around that they can't deploy them. 

[ams1001]

"The Fast Food Farewell Tour"

Why do they never think "hey, maybe we should stop eating so much before we get to the doctor's appointment?"

[Guest]

How are these folks sitting in the front seats of their cars?! They're sandwiched in there like sardines!

Walked away from minimum security mental hold.

Oh gosh, just now joining!  Missed the beginning.  Got beer though!

Come sit next to me! Can I offer you a pretzel? Triple cheeseburger? Bucket of chicken? Deep fried ding dongs? No, that wouldn’t go with beer. 

[MsVixen]

I can't even!  From these people being close to a ton in weight to their packing all their belongings in see through plastic bags, just makes me want to take a dump myself!

[Wanda]

New Olympic event, tandom cheeseburger car eating

[Hellga]

Farewell tour of fast food places they know and love.  That's actually kind of sweet in a perverse way!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Did you see the text?   "The Fast Food Farewell Tour Continues".    I'm dying!     

Shantel must have a ton of stress.    

So Monica whacked the other van, or did she pull in front of Michael and get hit?     There's something wrong with Monica, that girl's just not right.  

So Carlton wants to bail?     They're lucky that everyone involved have their own built in, huge air bags.     

Stop showing the phone Twitney show!    Everyone knows the 'boyfriend/fiance' is paid.

I'm guessing the smell is so bad already that no one would notice a fart.

They used to. Tasted good frahd!

I swear, the episode no one blames "the road" for their food choices is the day hell freezes over.

That's not that difficult with all the businesses that offer free wifi. When I go to my dentist, he doesn't have free wifi but I can pick up the Staples next door. Libraries, restaurants, your neighbour with an unsecure connection...

[Leilani]

These two dress nice. They're not just wearing sheets or full out naked sitting in bed showin their hoohas.

[ams1001]

"so we're enjoying it while we can."

While he shoves it in his mouth like a desperate man who hasn't eaten in weeks.

Honestly? Yeah. I know people who were couch surfing who still found time to game. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[DropTheSoap]

Yup...fast food is the only option. Such places do not sell salads. Grocery stores do not exist. 

It's amazing.

[Wanda]

And prepare for the lawsuit they will file against TLC because they got into an accident

[Gbb]

Carlton starring into the computer was creeping me out. 

A wreck?!
