S08.E21: The Assanti Brothers LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

If Steve Sr. thought getting weight-loss surgery for both of his sons would help bring them together, the 3rd year of their weight-loss journey will prove him wrong, as Justin returns to Rhode Island with every intention of never speaking to Steven.

TLC has different descriptions of this episode depending on the source.  So it may be new.  It may be old.  Even if it is "new" it will be chockfull of old scenes spliced together.  Regardless, heaven help us, it's the Assanti Brothers redux. 

If this is a repeat, we will still hold a live chat and will combine the threads later.

Either way:

 

Real footage of Pounders during Assanti brothers episodes:

[Armchair Critic]

I don't know if I can stomach (no pun intended) watching this family tonight, just call me a glutton for punishment.....

[peaceknit]

Ready for the Assanti brothers, Pounders? Woohoo!

[babyhouseman]

Hello. We have an epidemic and now the Assantis.

[Kid]

Good evening, Pounders! I hope all are well.

Frankly, I don’t know how much it is I’m going to be able to take tonight.

[7EasyPayments]

Just finished a lllooonnnggg sweaty workout. 1797 calories today.

Enjoying a beer included in them there calories !!! LOL 🤣

[Lillith]

Good evening Pounders. Only because I have your snark and company do I have the fortitude to endure the Assanti Brothers.

My eating habit tonght was pan seared tilapea and creamed spinach.

We're here for you. Stay strong.

Hello Pounders! Glad I tuned it in time to see some of Brandi's rapping. 

Eating habit? Giant chef salad and a brownie. Yum. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I recommend that anyone who had a snack lined up for tonight, put it away now.     This is not an episode to try to eat through.   

Oh goody!   Steven's caravan to Houston.  

Steven of the cloven hoof.   

I do love the Assanti's house though.    The one back in R.I. they just showed.

Here dey come.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I haven't taken any painkillers for my hip surgery in days.  But I think I just might find the need to reach for the Oxy tonight.  Last week we had Roshana, Clarence & ReRun.  Tonight it's the Fuckfest of all Fuckfests......The Assanti Brothers!!!!

[7EasyPayments]

Is S still on drugs?

[DC Gal in VA]

Aah, the Poundemic that is the Assanti Family! Do we have our masks ready for the stank that is to come? Let's roll Pounder Pals!😁

[babyhouseman]

They say it's the final chapter. Hmm.

[ams1001]

Hi all! It's an Assanti night. I'm here for you all. 

Tonight's eating habit was scrambled eggs and toast. And I'm wondering whose bright idea it was to make the seams off the inner bread bag go down the sides and across the middle, instead of at the end. WTH, Pepperidge Farm?

Also today I did Day 6 of my 30 Days of Yoga challenge.

[peaceknit]

The final chapter....thank dog for that!!

[Kid]

The final chapter!!!  We can only hope.

I need pain medicine to get through this episode.

[Pepper Mostly]

@Kid Jinx!

[aliya]

I detest the Asantis and don't know if I can take these people tonight. I may have to just read the comments here.

I don't have an eating habit so far tonight. I got my roots done (thank God!!) and had a big salad when I came home. I'm pretty sure watching these despicable people is not going to help my appetite. 

 

[Pepper Mostly]

Good god those legs. I will never be able to erase the horror from my mind.

[babyhouseman]

People not familiar with these charmers can enjoy the flashbacks. The rest of us can have PTSD.

The guide says it’s also the season finale. This seems like a clip show.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Time to go back to the model shop.  Oh sweet Jesus smite me now.

[ams1001]

Who else is now singing "The Final Countdown"?

[Suzywriter]

My eating habit is a chocolate Pure Protein shake.

Hi, Pounders!

I don't know if I can bear this one. I despised these guys with a rage and contempt that actually made me afraid of myself. 

[Honey]

I wanna see Princess again.

Except for the butt wings, we haven't had many lymphedemas lately.

[ams1001]

There's a lot of reading in this episode so far...they're trying to force me to actually look at these people.

[Pepper Mostly]

I can only imagine the smell in that room. Shudder.

Right there with you. 

The music is particularly grim...I wonder what the outcome will be?

[Mary Godfrey]

I've been away a while, so sorry if this is a stupid question: Did everyone know James King died?

Princess has probably fled the country and is living in Majorca under an assumed name.

 I wasn't going to watch this tonight, but if it is the season finale, I will watch just so that I can watch with my Pounder Pals

Does the Pope shit in the woods? Is that bear Catholic? 😇

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Steven should apologize for everything he put US through.

[Armchair Critic]

Will father Assanti be there paying for more pizza?

I know it's been mentioned in chat..

[Pepper Mostly]

Justin. You cannot believe anything Steven says. 

[7EasyPayments]

I think S is intelligent unlike some other participants.

Also narcissistic, mean-spirited, and arrogant to the point of being EXTREMELY unlikable.

His ploys for pain-killers in the original episodes were some of the most entertaining this show has aired.

[umgoblue]

Hey y'all!  They are ending on a bang...I am missing you already (more tears in 2 hours)!!!!

Eating habit is a protein bar until I can get some food...

I’m just here for the comments. No way can I watch these guys another time. 

[Twopper]

Hi pounders!!! I will follow the live chat.  Not sure I can watch this awful group again.  I have found this entire season to be disappointing. 

Was already disappointed once this afternoon when the spaceX launch got scrubbed.  I have seen launches in person, and it is just awesome.

Eating habit== a King's Ranch  chicken casserole from Dirt Road Gourmet, side salad, green beans, and handfuls of mini milano dark chocolate cookies from PF

[sainte-chapelle]

I need wine for this mess

[FormeryHeavyJ]

As the father of two children I could not imagine the shame I would have if my kids turned out like these two losers.

[babyhouseman]

Stephen should be with that catfisher lady.

[sainte-chapelle]

Steven always looks high as a kite

[ams1001]

The only good thing about this episode was the puppy.

Poor puppy.
