90-Day Fiance peeps, wouldn't you pay cash money to see Baby Girl Lisa and Dr. Now get into a verbal disagreement?

Come on Erica, don't give up. You still have your collectibles, after all. 

She's driven away her whole family because she's such a horrible person. 

She doesn't know if therapy can fix a broken heart? Pro tip, Erica. You know what doesn't fix a broken heart? Burger King. Sheesh.

And she didn't know what was on the burger?

As if she doesn't have EVERY FAST FOOD menu memorized?!?!?!??

FAKE NEWS !!!! 🤣😈

I had to pause the show and play Jimmy Mack by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas for Erica.  

Run away with me 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Won't somebody think about the dog figurines?!?!?!? She sold them; a.k.a. threw them in the trash because no one in their right mind wanted them.

[Snarkastikate]

I give Erica a lot of credit, she actually did it.  It ain't easy, I'm in the process of downsizing from a big old house I've lived in for most of my life and moving 500 miles away to a much smaller place.  Packing up, throwing out, can't donate right now because the places are all closed.  It ain't easy by yourself I can tell you.  Thank God I'm working from home right now and can work on it.    So YOU GO ERICA!!!

Not snarking, honest question. How is online teaching going? Why so many emails? My MIL was a teacher but retired before the digital age.

Well, I would say that, despite the fact that I teach writing and literature and am a competent communicator, the online platform is not ideal for clear communication.  If this were a planned online teaching situation, I might be better at it.  However, this has been more of a scramble.  And students are anxious, understandably, so I think the excess email communication is mostly their way of clarifying my instructions, but also assuaging anxieties.  Finally, I think they just crave that connection.  We were getting along so well before the virus.  😎I miss them.

[88Keys]

Good grief, why does every commercial have to be about COVID, or about reminding us of all the stuff we USED to be able to do?  I watch TV to escape from real life.  😞

[umgoblue]

I lurve you, Pounders!  For an off-the-chart extrovert and perpetual hugger, you are the highlight of my (non-familial) interactive, on house-arrest week (including seeing my two favorite grocery store cashiers biweekly ...lockdown is a mother, but I digress😞)...but I don't think I can stomach anymore of this episode. 

I look forward to reading the reading the rest of your snark later...

[Hellga]

Wow, Erica has A LOT of clutter stuff.

Benji looks totally different now.

I can't remember what relationship between Mary and David was, so I don't know if he or she is to blame for their break-up...  He did sound kind of jerky, but then if she was unhappy with his weight loss and was holding him back, I get it.

 

Still 20 minutes behind you all.

[CrazyInAlabama]

So Lindsey's husband should pop in and yell "Eat death Erica"?    I would love that.   I wonder if her car smells like Grease and Freedom now?   

So that taco order didn't sound like the diet plate, and Dr. Now will know that Benji cheated.  I'm betting he's gaining 30 lbs. this time.

Perhaps sold them, at 25 cents per piece.

[babyhouseman]

Interesting she has a dog collection and not an actual dog.

Jesus, this music! Did someone die?

Awww I wish it was going better. I work with university professors and college teachers and I know they are really struggling.

I would bet she did the fast food tour to Houston so she has achieved her grease and freedom dreams.

[mmecorday]

Yes, steak street tacos are the key to permanent weight loss.

[Chicklet]

He's going to get down to 200 pounds as soon as he finishes those tacos with cheese. Good grief.

[Leilani]

Lola looks so pretty. The hair and lashes look great.

[sainte-chapelle]

No Benjamin......order the salad

[dreadfulLeigh]

I haven’t been getting burgers...I only get tacos with extra cheese. Durrrr

Well that was fast. I went to the bathroom and Jimmy left by the time I got back

You should know not go #2 during the middle of the episode! 😂🤣

[7EasyPayments]

What is the purple taco place?

Prince of Tacos ? 😜

[mk828]

Oh man everyone going back to fast food... These WATN episodes are usually good, tonight, not so much. It's no wonder at this point in the season I am grateful for Yankee baseball to keep my entertained on Wednesday nights. 😓

[dreadfulLeigh]

Wait. Did she get someone to drive her to Texas? I thought she was driving.

I agree.  I'm surprised everyone is hating on him.  Mary might very well have been an enabler or a saboteur.   We've seen it over and over again.

Honestly, there are worse things he could be eating.  And wow, steak tacos sound amazing right now...

[sagittarius sue]

I'll give Erica credit for driving to Houston in 3 days.  It's about 1700 miles, 26 hours driving time.

Thank goodness!!!  Dogs deserve better than that.  I don’t like whiners.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Cassandra really hates Erica doesn't she?   Oh well, I think everyone on Earth does too.  

[Armchair Critic]

Did she say she was down to 258 at one point? 

[Caoimhe]

Haha!  Love Kassandra, "Probably not".

[mmecorday]

Erica: So I guess I gained a little.

Me screaming: A LITTLE?!?

I have some parrots around my house. NO WAY do I want a real parrot.

I guess she decided to take a taxi to the doctor.

[CringeWatcher]

Wait, wut???? Erica did not sell her thousands of dollars’ worth of dog figurines to finance her new life with jimmy jimmy jimmy? And jimmy jimmy jimmy left her? I’m shocked, SHOCKED at this development.

[ams1001]

I know I gained weight but JIMMMMMYYYYYY's GONNNNNEE 😭😭😭😭

[Gbb]

240 lbs in 6 months. 40 lbs per month. That around 4000 extra calories a day if my very quick math is right. 😮😮

[dreadfulLeigh]

Jimmy left faster than you can wash your hands and sing happy birthday! 

[mmecorday]

I am glad she 86'ed the bangs.

[Caoimhe]

Erica is still mentally a child.  She's not responsible for anything and never will be.

Edited to add:  of course she has stretched out the sleeve!!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Omfg I can’t with her body language and facial expressions during her Dr Now smack down.  

[Guest]

Oh no. She's gonna see Lola. UGH.

"Dear Jimmy, 

I am writing this letter to you today ..."

[Leilani]

She talks and sounds like a 15 year old girl. I stick by my arrested development assesment.

Bet the shocks, and undercarriage on the car couldn't take it, and had to go to a shop to get reinforced.    A taxi or Uber was her only choice.    What's different about Erica's face?   She looks very different all of a sudden, and not just from gaining 162 lbs. or her disappearing bangs.   

So Erica's had stomach stapling, gastric sleeve, and may get gastric bypass?   If she thought living with gastric sleeve sucked, then wait until she gets the bypass.

That really baffles me. I haven't had fast food in years. The very thought of it repels me now, though I loved me some McDonald's and Burger King back in the day. I wouldn't touch it now, its just gross. 

Popeye's on the other hand.....

[Armchair Critic]

If she was so crazy about Jimmy you would think she would have been willing to part with what she needed to keep him. It's not like guys are lined up to be with her. Yes I know she shouldn't be codependent but just saying if she was so gaga over him you would think she would have made more of an effort.

[poeticlicensed]

Can you just imagine the therapist session?? Jimmy jimmy jimmy ..........
