S09.E01: Samantha's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

At nearly 1000 pounds, Samantha is dangerously close to dying.  To make matters worse, she's paid to eat by making videos online. If Samantha doesn't overcome her toxic relationship with food, she worries that she will leave her daughter motherless.

Welcome back, Pounder!  Season 9 starts with Samantha, a woman tipping the scales at close to 1,000 pounds who makes a living through eating.  Let's see where this season takes us.

We have a hint on the guess the poundticpants's weight game.  

Original air date 2020.12.30

Yay! Looking forward to the live chat tonight!

[Kid]

I missed you guys!!!!   So glad we are back together.  I hope all are well.  Happy New Year!

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm guessing I'll have to build up my ability to eat and watch this show again, so I had my Healthy Choice pizza hours ago.    I hope this Poundticipant is someone we can all root for, and does well.   

[Pepper Mostly]

Hellllllooooo Pounders! So glad we're getting the band back together!

Happy Almost New Year's, Pounders!  Eating a ham sandwich and will probably get some ice cream later.

Hope everyone is getting through this pandemic safely!

Pounders, Pounders, Pounders! I am so glad to be back with my people!  I hope everyone and their family has held up well during the pandemic.  As of November, I am a first time nana! 9 lbs 14 oz! A big boy, who will be helping out his parents by getting a job soon.

 

[Caoimhe]

I need this show to get me to stop eating!

[Chicklet]

YAY except for my new habit of falling asleep at 8:15 lately, might have to watch this on demand. I blame nothing interesting on tv. It can't be that I"m getting old.

Glad to be back with my fellow Pounders!  I'm feeling rusty at Live Chat as I dropped out of 90DF out of disgust.

[Christina]

Assanti ran me off from this show, but I'm giving it another shot tonight.

[Suzywriter]

Wheeeee! I'm ready! Hi, everyone!

[Chicklet]

My type-snarking is probably rusty as hell, oh nooo

[aliya]

I learned how to make wings in my new shelf air fryer. I straight up felt like I was on this show as I made my way through a bowl full.

It's great to see you over here A.M!

[Concerned]

The preview looks like winter will be tolerable. The 800 pound lady is articulate.

We just got an air fryer too! My husband is busting to make some wings. Was it easy?

[CrazyInAlabama]

Samantha Mason, age 35.    I didn't catch her hometown.    I'm surprised that the show put her last name on there.   

I hope she's a total success.   35, and I'm so afraid for her health.  

How sad to grow up in a household with an abusive alcoholic.    She was always huge.   So the mother sent the two girls with the abusive alcoholic father?    There wasn't any other answer?   From that picture of the family, and next family, everyone was rather overweight.  

300 by 12.    400 by 17 and dropped out of school.    Pregnant by 17, and close to 500 lbs.  Broke up with the kid's father two weeks after the baby was born.  By 20 her father died in a motorcycle wreck.

Now those are some interesting dangly bits there.

[Guest]

Hi Everyone!

It's four minutes in and I'm already exhausted by this person.

[MsVixen]

GEEZ!!!  I'm surprised that she's able to walk!

[Kid]

800+ pounds!!  I am surprised she is functioning at all.

[Pepper Mostly]

I do that same rocking back and forth thing to get out of bed too. Of course I am old, in addition to being fat. 

[Suzywriter]

Whew! Thatsa bigga one!

[Donut Bear]

This may be the fattest one yet

[Emkat]

Whoa she is really huge. Wow.

WHAT IS THAT SOMETHING?!

I got an air fryer as well!  Not that it’s helped me to stop eating of course.

[Twopper]

I swore I would finish dinner by 8 tonight.  Almost succeeded.   My eating habit is taco soup and half of a German Pretzel baguette with rock salt and butter.   And later, a handful of oreos.

I guess I will just follow along as Mr TWoPper has the large tv to watch the Cotton Bowl.  I am permitting this as we spent the afternoon at a follow-up appointment  for his ear surgery/skin graft.   He deserves a break.  We are both exhausted from the trip to the medical building because he is temporarily using a walker.   So glad the building has a valet service, because I hate parking 10 stories in the air.  We are both a bit wiped out.

I guess I could watch on my laptop,  but I really prefer watching this show on the large screen tv.

Sight unseen, I guess her weight at 908

[Angry Moldovan]

Who helps her? She’s amazingly independent for such a heavy weight

[Pepper Mostly]

Looks like I'll have to draft another bingo card-I know I don't have "has to scrub dangly bits with scrub brush" on any of the other ones. 

[Guest]

SHE'S WEARING THE SAME UNDERWEAR AS THE DAY BEFORE.

[Caoimhe]

She looks to be in Sean / James K territory!

[Concerned]

She makes her living eating and exposing herself on the Internet.
