S08.E18: Alicia and Pauline LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Alicia's relationship with her boyfriend Tim comes under the microscope in the 2nd year of her weight loss journey. And now in her 4th year, Pauline must beg her way back onto the program after quitting in a huff when her last weigh-in didn't go so well.

Please, please, please, for the love of all that is holy, do not have Alicia refer to Tim as Timmy.  We are all still recovering from last week's Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy . . . .  Alicia and Tim were both generally pleasant, low drama folks even though he is a recovering addict and she could eat a dozen donuts in one sitting.

Pauline and her put upon son Dilly, er, Dillon are back for where are they now round 4.  Will she still be riding her double wide scooter?  Will she do just enough to keep the show interested so she can get round 5? Will it ever end? Let's see how much more unlikable she can be.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast and West Coast showings.  Live somewhere else?  Your cable provider may provide access to watch live with the East Coast showing on TLC.com.

I awoke this morning fully in the knowledge that we would be seeing the wonder that is Pauline for the FIFTH time.  Suddenly this came to mind;

I realize my loins are safe.  They may well retreat as far away from her as possible while the rest of me recoils in disgust).  Is there a way to gird our brains?

 

[Kid]

Good evening,  Pounders!!!  I hope all are well.

Tonight’s episode should be snarkworthy!!

[Concerned]

Loins girded. Eating habit, quiche.

Who can't wait for more Pauline?!

I caught the beginning of Alicia's original episode last week. I liked her and Tim. Apparently she wasn't thrilled with the edit of the follow-up episode.

Tonight's eating habit was chicken, couscous, and peas with chicken-broth gravy (which I made the other night, with flour, and had to add water to thin it out). Dessert was the last one of the oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies my mom made last weekend, and chocolate milk, because I need to use up some of my milk.

Howdy all!  Looking forward to the snarking tonight!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Where is the anvil to fall on my head when I need it.  F Pauline.

[babyhouseman]

Hi. Last week was about Jimmy. Now we have Timmy(Tim).

[Azubah]

Real soon now they're going to have to give Pauline an Actors' Equity card.

I have finished my dinner of chocolate chips and am girded!

[Guest]

I'm already pre-disappointed in Pauline's episode and it hasn't even started yet.

[sainte-chapelle]

How y'all doing? My eating habit was grilled chicken with vegetables and now some popcorn for a snack

[mmecorday]

Good evening! My eating habit tonight was cheesy broccoli and chicken casserole and cottage cheese and tomato.

[OoogleEyes]

Hiya, Pounder Pals!

Eating habit tonight was a chicken and pasta bake. It looked a lot better on paper. Would not recommend 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I want to see an entire episode devoted to Cassandra.

[Pepper Mostly]

Helloooooooo Pounders! Hope everyone is well and keeping safe! 

Eating habit, home made creamy tomato and tortellini soup, followed by a generous slab of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. 

[MsVixen]

Good evening, Pounders!  My eating habits are soup and vegetables (with a side of ice cream).

[Guest]

I don't remember Alicia at all. 

How I will remember her tomorrow morning.: that lady who was on Pauline's episode.

[mk828]

She can be in SAG since her skin sags.

[CringeWatcher]

Pounders! Pauline is a scooter wreck and I’m here for it. Eating habit will be a loaded baked potato. Drinking habit wine 🍷

[Concerned]

Hate to say it, but I’m halfway to gaining the Quarantine 15.

Don't forget Pauline's son, Dilly! Jimmy, Timmy and Dilly sounds like a boy band from the 60's. Like Dino, Desi and Billy.

[ShortyMac]

Hello. Eating habit was chili, with beans.

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders! My eating habit tonight is thai curry! At least it will be when it arrives.

[Twopper]

Drat, I nearly forgot;  we have been binge-watching the last season of Homeland.   I guess it was a few seasons back when I decided I hated to wait a week between episodes so I decided to record all or most of them and binge-watch them over the course of a few days.

Eating habit is roast with yams and broccoli followed by a lot of brownies.   Dis not good sitchuashun for my waist line.   But no one sees me anymore except Mr Twopper and the neighbors who bring food and wine

Come running with me tomorrow morning.  3.25 miles.  

[mmecorday]

She walks down stairs better than I do these days.

[Azubah]

Tim "let me" join a gym? Grrr.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Alicia looks like a totally different person.    I'm glad for her.     I can't say I like the phrase from Alicia "Tim let me join a gym".    I don't like the controlling way that 'let me join' sounds.

[ams1001]

Did she say Tim "let" her join a gym?

(Unless he's paying for it...)

[MsVixen]

"Tim has let me join a gym"???  WTF???

[CringeWatcher]

Did she just say Tim “let her” join a gym?

[Guest]

Tim didn't "let" you join the gym, lady -- you just spend 45 seconds setting up all the reasons you didn't go before, like, you didn't want to "do too much."

Not unless you are the WHOLE pie! 😂

[Gbb]

[Chicklet]

TIm is a controlling asshole? He "let" her join a gym? I didn't remember that part.

[poeticlicensed]

I just ate a pepperidge farm milano. Bring on Pauline!

[MsVixen]

LACEY SHORTS!!!!!   I've got to wash my eyes out with the hand sanitizer!

[sainte-chapelle]

I gained 7 lbs since quarantine, I need to lay off the chips and wine

[aliya]

Greetings. My eating habit is some homemade Greek salad w/a pita. I hope everyone is well.

My ex and I did that with 24 on DVD (more because he didn't have cable). Then we broke up and I started to watch the new season when it started and realized it wasn't any fun by myself. Oh, well.

[peaceknit]

Hey Pounders! Coming in late. My eating habit was shrimp alfredo with angel hair pasta with TJ's Limone alfredo sauce (good stuff, y'all).

[Kid]

The one thing I remember about Alicia is her boyfriend.  He is a recovering addict himself and he did not enable her.  He was supported her and called her on her bull when necessary.

Actually, I remember Tim as a good partner, questioning her on her food choices when she wanted to overeat.

The most important part. 😁

[Pepper Mostly]

Tim's enabling her, that's why. "He says if I'm in the 300's that's a real milestone". Because he knew she was nowhere near 350.
