Who watches Out-Daughtered, exactly? Is it really entertaining to watch a bunch of toddlers screaming? 

I have to say some of the adults are funny. And everybody in the family seems to like each other.

Walk on the beach!  Who called it?!

*slowly raises hand* I'm child-free by choice so it helps me feel smug about my decision to not be a parent to anything more than a 15 pound cat.

Same, with cats, as well.

[Callaphera]

Isn't Mom dead? Is he Facetiming her grave? I'm so confused.

Just dropping in to say hi! I missed the first 90 minutes, but from what I can tell, I didn't miss much. These folks are lazy. 

You got that right.  Took him over  6 months just to fill out a damn application for public housing.  And the only reason he's " doing things in his own" is that his lazy brother probably had a day laborer job.  

[WonTon]

This season is a bummer. See you next week!

[Snarkastikate]

Watch out, he's determined now!!!  LOL.  Good luck boys.

[mmecorday]

Lovelies, have a good week, stay strong, and stay well!

[Callaphera]

Dominic: "I'm going to keep taking steps to move forward."
Also Dominic: "Except, you know, actual steps. Or moving. 'Cause, you know."

[ShortyMac]

"And I can't wait for that." Always in the script.

[Caoimhe]

I really hope next week is better!  In all ways, for all of us.

I am genuinely curious about what he does with his time.  

me too.

Those wool beanies are still pretty much the fashion. The very hip young musician who rents a room from us wears one often. And very handsome he looks, too. 

he's less than 600lbs, I'll bet.

Did Dr. Paradise suggest this? I thought Lola and the letter writing was bad enough. 

[Splashes]

Sorry I didnt get to snark tonight. This took longer than I expected.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Earlier in the episode he was blaming his mom for "kicking his dad out."  Y'know, blame the parent that actually tried to take care of you.

[Callaphera]

Stay safe, everyone. I wish you an abundance of toilet paper and happiness in the future.

Ha ha! I was an only child so shows about large families have always fascinated me.

LOL! Every single ad I've ever seen for that show just shows those kids running around and shrieking. Shudder. 

[LizzyB]

Well, good night, all.  Be safe, and I hope to see you next week.  😎

[7EasyPayments]

OK the phone call to the dead Mother got to me. 😢

No, I saw an episode once and the parents are pretty annoying. 

I guess he won't get surgery in the last 5 minutes.  Quelle surprise!   

Will we see him again in another season for munt 7-12?

Good night until next time, if there is a next time.   I was really hoping for a better season.

Stay healthy everyone!!!!!

Well dayum @Giant Misfit you definitely nailed it tonight. Kudos my psychic friend!😊

Thanks for the company Pounder Pals; I really appreciate it during these stressful times. Much love!

Good night all!  We really need a great success or a true trainwreck.

I don't understand why Dr Now doesn't force all the Poundticipants to keep a food journal. That way, they can turn it in during the weigh ins and maybe he - or a NUTRITIONIST - can help these people figure out why they keep taking wrong turns. 

And, especially in Dominic's case, at least he'd have a writing prompt to start journaling.

Good idea, but maybe they do it with the nutritionist. Dr Now is there to do the surgery and see if they are trending down in their weight. That's it. He has other staff for the other stuff, such as taking weight. Before I retired, I met for about 6 weeks with one of my employer's health counselors with one goal being to see how I could improve my dieting so I didn't blow up like a whale once I was at home. We did some behavioral therapy. I didn't journal everything I ate, but I did go over some of the choices I was happy with or not so happy. I think this type of thing is more useful with the nutritionist or counselor than Dr Now. Plus, it's not unusual to be asked to keep a food journal, so maybe they do it, but we don't see it.

Oh hell yes. He's a very attractive lad indeed. "imperially slim", one might say.

Not me!  I have twins.  I cant imagine that times 3.  Even the commercials make me cringe.

Edit- and now Dr. Pimple Popper is on and the first patient is having a shower scene.  Guess it is TLC-wide.

Gnight be safe, wash hands and no licking doorknobs 

[babyhouseman]

His attitude's not bad compared to a lot of people on this show. I just think he has more pressing problems than being overweight. 

[Hellga]

Good night, everyone!  I do hope for a success story next week, it's been a while since we had a true success.

[Pepper Mostly]

Good night, my dear Pounders! Take care of yourselves, stay home, wash your hands, tip your Instacart shopper, be brave, keep on snarking! Lets all hope that we will begin to see a return to a newer better world.

Hope everyone is safe and well here, Looks like we have another oh Brother episode  ?

I'm missing the Assanti Bros, myself.  At least they were highly entertaining, that's for sure!  Those were some great episodes, weren't they tho?👍🏼😄

[Roxie]

It's a little late to be posting this, but I think maybe the long line they referred to was at a homeless shelter, not a place to apply for housing.  The shelters have only a limited number of beds, so you have to be near the front of the line when they open for the night in order to get in.

Sure but I don't know if you can reliably cook an egg on the engine of a mini-van, though. I mean, I'm a fan of over easy eggs so I would be all right but still. 

I could donate my copy of Manifold Destiny.

If Dr Paradise visits them at home, we will see Paradise by the dashboard light.

I'll let myself out . . . 

You win the internet, as far as I'm concerned.

I use Supernanny for that particular schadenfreude, myself.
