S08.E17: David & Benji & Erica LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Erica is succeeding on her weight loss when romantic misfortune sends her spiraling backwards. Benji Bolton must reach his goal weight without the support of his brother, David, after a disagreement leaves the two brothers estranged.

It's a Where Are They Now episode bring back three people from season 6.

Brothers Benji & David were success stories.  Those were the days, my pounder friends! Their tale ended with formerly 700+ lb. David getting shiny new choppers.

Erica rekindled a relationship with Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.  She would not shut up about Jimmy. Is he part of her misfortune? 

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast and West Coast showings.

Original air date 2020.04.22

How y'all doing, pounders!?

[Kid]

Good evening, Pounders. I hope all are well!

[LizzyB]

Hey Pounders!  Very excited to see some Year 3 people!

Hi everyone! I'm on vacation! The view from my luxurious living room resort is...pretty much the same as the view from my home office. Today's eating habit was a Wegmans brand penne, chicken, and broccoli alfredo frozen dinner, which was...edible, I guess (the sauce was a little too rich for my stomach, I think, and what little chicken there was wasn't very good). I ate at 4:30 so I don't know if that's a late lunch or an early dinner...this afternoon my mom brought me some homemade oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies and a box of Cadbury Creme Eggs (I guess that's my Easter basket...) so one of those will be dessert, maybe. I've been rationing my ice cream but that's almost gone, too. Might have to finally venture out to a store.

I liked Benji and David. I hope they are still doing well. Don't remember much about Erica. (Or Jimmy.)

Hello.

[Pepper Mostly]

Hellooooooo Pounders! How is everyone? I hope you are keeping safe and have plenty of toilet paper! 

[Wanda]

I progressively gave up on this show, even with my love of live chat snark. I’m counting on you Erica 

[Gbb]

Hey Pounders! Are we done with new people and in to the WATN part of the season?

[Caoimhe]

No eating habit today at all, I've spent two weeks eating the next six months food so I am taking a break!  

[OoogleEyes]

Good evening pounders. I hope everyone is doing well tonight. My eating habits tonight was an asparagus frittata. Yum! I love fresh,  Spring asparagus!

[aliya]

Hello Pounders! My eating habit is homemade veggie chow mein. Carbs be damned.

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy all!  What's your eating habit?  Mine's cheese and crackers...and wine.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Know that whenever I hear the name Jimmy, I think of Seinfeld. "Somebody sidelined Jimmy!"  Did Erica sideline Jimmy?  I need to know.

[Guest]

More likely Jimmy sidelines Erica...

I had delicious home made creamy tomato and tortellini soup, with some whole wheat Irish soda bread. Yum. 

[Gbb]

I remember David and Benji but not  Erica. 

[Wanda]

Knowing benji and David are suing does color watching the here. They had a really good edit originally. Wonder if TLC/company will have had the chance to re-edit them now?

[Pepper Mostly]

How does he get up off the floor?? Block and tackle? 

[7EasyPayments]

Drankin some downmarket beer for today's calorie total of 2205 and WATN.

Cheers ! 🍻 👀

[umgoblue]

Hello Pounders!  I hope you are all well!

My eating habit today: pasta with broccoli and for my protein: Snickers!!

[Twopper]

Hi to my peeps!!

Eating habit is meatloaf, fresh asparagus and squash.  Cherry  jello and Walker's shortbread for dessert. 

this quarantine is playing havoc with my eating habit.    I never realized how often we ate out

I can't recall Erika.  I know I saw her, but is she that forgettable.   The brothers I think I remember because there was a hurricane during their 12 months of Dr Now.

[sainte-chapelle]

My eating habit was chicken wings and fries...bad I know! If quarantine lasts too much longer I will be on this show

I thought you meant us at first😂😂

[Pepper Mostly]

I like the WATN episodes but I do miss the "what do they weigh?" pool.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hello and good evening! I’m finally on time for live chat yay! We’ll see how it goes. This self-isolating hasn’t helped any of the little dreadfuls’ sleeping habits.

I thought just David was suing? 

[babyhouseman]

I remember all of them. Didn't Erica have the pissed off sister? Or was that someone else?

[AZChristian]

We did our first "order online, pick up at the curb" wine order today.  No eating habit to report . . . but there will be WINE!!!!

She’s the one who whines and tried to guilt her brother into giving up his boat/livelihood to take her to Houston ....it didn’t work

[Guest]

David isn't filled with food anymore. He's filled with sayings from refrigerator magnets.

[sainte-chapelle]

Don't eat the tacos David

I have actually stopped eating like the world was going to end!  Back to sensible eating.  Breakfast Doritos and Mike and Ike lunches are a thing of the past!!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Oof that’s a lot of crosses. Seems like a weird place, like you’d be getting the googly eye from baby Jesus whilst having some sexy time.

[Leilani]

I liked Erica and had been stalking her social medio to find out whatever happened with Jimmy.

[DC Gal in VA]

Hey there Pounder Peeps! Just wanted to say hey y'all doin before I tip on over to The Masked Singer; back in an hour. Hope everyone is staying safe.

Damn, why oh why did that woman-of-a-thousand-faces, Sharon Osbourne, have to be the guest judge this week? Can't stand her.

[Wanda]

David’s girlfriend needs to apply for the show. And put down the big gulps
