S08.E17: David & Benji & Erica LIVE CHAT

[Armchair Critic]

Oh my he said when he was overweight he took what he could get and settled for his girlfriend Mary.

[umgoblue]

David's teeth still looks good!  Loved the initial brushing scene.  Good omen....

ETA: Now he realizes that she was an enabler and is dumping her, since she was all he could get.  He is checking off the boxes typical WLS paths.

WHAAAAT?! He's gonna leave the girlfriend because he "settled" for the girlfriend?! 

Dude. You can drop all the weight in the world but you're still a dumb and ugly. You ain't no prize at any weight.

[Gbb]

“When you’re 700 lbs you take what you can get and settle.”

Asshole.

DICK 😠

Especially since they seem to have a very limited understanding of "progress."

"I feel like I'm losing" and "my clothes feel looser" for example

Hey, Pounders! I missed the first 10 or so minutes because I had to have a shower. I got here in time for Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy buy a house Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy dream man Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy skin surgery Jimmy Jimmy start a family . . . 

And Benji who seems surly as sh*t and is gaining weight and his liver numbers aren't looking good and he's drinking "every other weekend" (my *ss).

So far this show is boring as hell. I'm only here for the snark!

We're here for you! 

[Caoimhe]

I can see Mary being an enabler, she certainly had  no interest in losing weight.

I think Erica always was a hoarder.

[Wanda]

Erica don’t do it......Jimmy will eat you alive and take your box money

[sainte-chapelle]

Oh shit David hates his girlfriend 

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, she can see some of her dresses for tents. 

I'll show myself out. 

[LizzyB]

OMG The collectibles!  These camera operators are just GIVING us the snark opportunities!  I'm dying. She thinks she can make thousands of dollars? LOL

[PureMantis]

Yep. Those collectibles are her ticket out.

[dreadfulLeigh]

“Collectibles”. Uh-hm. 😐

[Chicklet]

To have an estate sale you have to have, you know, an estate, Erica. Jeez.

She's just as big as when she started. Isn't she?

Ohh this chick is a de-hoarder!

[babyhouseman]

So Mary got the fat blob, and the new girlfriend gets the hunk he thinks he is.

[Wanda]

Boy, when Jimmy isn’t physically there Erica reverts back to sad sack mode who can’t do anything for herself

[LizzyB]

So she thinks she has a collectibles appraiser over, but she's actually one of those therapists from Hoarders?

She's already failed weight loss surgery once, I wouldn't be getting rid of them so fast!

[poeticlicensed]

Erica has collectables. What a shock, not. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is they filmed this last year, and long before the legal stuff came up.     Oh oh!    Girlfriend is going to the the Bye, Felicia!  routine.    David is not the chick magnet he thinks he is.    

Erica is not going to make thousands off a lot of cheesy, TV shopping network 'collectibles'.   I thought Erica and love muffin Jimmy were cleaning out her apartment on the previous WATN with her?      

I really hate Jimmy.

What an asshole. "You take what you can get". Shitbird. 

Dollars to doughnuts he's already haunting international "dating" sites in search of a "traditional woman" with "strong family values".

I think there can be female chubby chasers as well as male ones.  I don't see a problem when he feels she isn't supportive.

Oh boy. A mashup of Hoarders and M600PL. 

[mmecorday]

She sounds like she's in sixth grade. "Jimmy is my boyfriend. He's my dream man. Jimmy lassoed the moon for me. Jimmy likes me."

Damn I wanted to see her collection. Thinking its snowbabies and other crap figurines

Yes, the season is over and the remaining episodes, I think, are all WATNs.

There’s a youngish dark-haired woman with a huge stomach in the teaser clips at the beginning of new eps that I’d swear we haven’t seen yet. 

[Hellga]

Hi all!  I was taking a long walk and totally forgot it's a Wednesday today, but I will catch up with fast forwarding during commercials. 

I liked David and Benji, and I hope they continued to do well.  Can't remember Erica at all.

Eating habit today is probably red wine (it's my brother's birthday, the older brother who died as a baby before I was born) and grapes (the horror!).  I had a massive lunch of a big chicken breast (oven-roasted with mustard glaze) and mushrooms (sautéed with garlic and balsamic glaze) so I am still not hungry.

Because I could get pretty plastered if I took a sip every time I here Jimmy.

Jimmy (thud) (Passes out)  

 

 

OK you must be passed out by now, so I hope you sleep well.  Not the worst way to pass some hours in quarantine.  By the way, Erica is choosing Jimmy, "of course," over her collectibles.  Sorry if that last "Jimmy" just sent you to the ER.

[Wanda]

Hmmm, Lupe needs a new man.......

[umgoblue]

I endured 2 hours of Me and Blah/Blah (fill in Jimmy by the end) crap the last time.  I don't know if I can survive it today.  I've had enough of her voice and her horrible grammar for a life time.  And this is one boring episode to boot.  Cleaning the house is more entertaining.

[Chicklet]

Naw he's screwed since immigration is now shut down. He'll have to worship "Irina" (who may or may not be a catfisher) from afar.

[Leilani]

I knew it was odd that Erica had the same photo of her and Jimmy up all year on her IG. lol

Oh, right!!! I forgot he got new chompers on his first episode. 

What a catch.

I get she has a stash of Beanie Babies. You know, those things are going to be worth a fortune one day, you'll see. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

David's teeth only look good because they're dentures.    There was nothing salvageable about his rotting teeth I saw in the last show.    

All three of these people are delusional, and seem to think that they would lose the weight, don't have to try any more, and they won't look misshapen from a lifetime of abusing their bodies.  

I guess Jimmy found out what her 'estate' and 'collectibles' were worth, about 47 cents a ton.      So Benji's a lush, Erica's on a binge, and David and his fake chompers are looking for a woman worthy of his sorry butt.

Go to New Jersey! That's what I've been doing.

I'm in New Jersey! I don't drink much but I had a half bottle of ginger beer going flat in the fridge and my rum is almost empty so I figured I may as well add some...

Sorry, 90-day fiance self-quarantined...she's taking him to urgent care but she has time to stop and record some video while he looks miserable all masked up in the passenger seat?

[Scratches19]

1) Sell collectible raccoon figurines (mini episode of Hoarders ensues)

2) Skin surgery (My 600LB Life)

3) Get married to Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy (My CoDependent Fiancé)

 this is like three shows in one!
