S09.E07: Krystal's Story LIVE CHAT

[ams1001]

From houseofnames.com: "Freelin is an ancient Anglo-Saxon name that is derived from the baptismal name Freeland."

"I thought she was a horrible person"...well that sounds like a great start.

Have we seen this Josh yet?

[umgoblue]

He didn't have a chance...FREELIN!  Who does that to a kid?!

[OoogleEyes]

 

People look in the mirror every day and make a choice to trim their beard like that

[mk828]

"I thought she was a horrible person at first" 4 years later.... Married seems about right 

[mmecorday]

All that Chinese food is going to send her to the hospital like Amy Slaton.

[Hellga]

Yup, addiction runs in families... drugs for one sister, food for another... unfortunately there is a genetic component to predisposition to addictive behaviors.  BUT it is always a choice whether to engage in those behaviors or not.

[Suzywriter]

I have PCOS and menopause facial hair growth...I bought a professional waxing pot 25 years ago. Only a few terrified straggler hairs dare to grow now.  This girl needs a wax pot and Youtube to change her life. 

[GuiltiestPleasures]

Can we keep the teasing about the beard to a reasonable level - facial hair due to PCOS isn't exactly her choice.

But good lord, this woman's life has been difficult. Unfortunately, an enormous amount of Chinese food is not the solution.

Also, I wonder why she feels the need to blame her interest in women on her history and not just that she's bisexual?

[Burning Rubber]

Will there be leftovers? The suspense is killing me.

[mk828]

Guess nobody ate the big tray of broccoli 

[7EasyPayments]

She STILL has a 5 o'clock shadow.............

 

[Pepper Mostly]

I'm thankful to have both of them in my life, because it would be tough for Freelin to bathe me and wipe my ass all alone.

[poeticlicensed]

Is that General tsaos or orange chicken? Inquiring minds

[Hellga]

OK, I correct on my earlier comment:  this is real plates and forks.  So it's only the fact that it is ginormous amount of mostly unhealthy food... but at least the fact that she is making an effort, I have high hopes for her.

They're a real life romantic comedy! 

[Guest]

The constant narration is grating. Why can't they show this family having a conversation around their vat of spaghetti and 14 loaves of bread?

Josh is drinking WATER! Actual WATER! Go, boy, go!

And I'm embarrassed that I occasionally have a steel gray hair that grows out of my chin.

I have a handful of those and a standing appointment with a wonderful woman who waxes or tweezes them away along with my thick brows.

For years I had one dark hair that grew on my jawline, but it is now white and I have the worst trouble seeing it to remove it.

Jen has promised to come if I am ever in the hospital and take care of them;  well, that was pre-COVID.

[Arynm]

Holy shit! That is enough food for a high school football team.

[umgoblue]

Hey...they are eating at a table on dishes, and use real silverware and cutlery.  WHAT SHOW ARE WE WATCHING??!!

[Donut Bear]

Grandpa looks the same age as Krystal

[mk828]

Is that like 4 boxes of garlic bread?!?!?

[Suzywriter]

A family meal at a table!!

[Pepper Mostly]

Holy shit that's one hell of a plate of spaghetti!

[umgoblue]

She is eating 10 servings of spaghetti.  Wow.

[WhitneyWhit]

The spaghetti on her plate!

[Hellga]

And here is Josh.  And they also have a grandfather with them?  More likely, though, they live in Grandpa's house.  Maybe that's why it's a nice, real house.

That's even worse than the Duggar grandson named Spurgeon.

Between the real flatware and the relatively nice house and her mobility, I'm hopeful too. But the show has psyched us out before so let's not get too excited.

That's a truly enormous amount of pasta and frozen garlic toast.

[MsVixen]

Grandpa a fucking winner, also!  Just stays in his room to be waited on!

[Burning Rubber]

OMG that's enough spaghetti for 100 campers! How much bread is on that table? What is in the white bowl?

Will there be leftovers? I will find out after the ads

He does look like a character from the Dark Ages.

We had spaghetti tonight.  Sigh..... I may never look at it the same.

Uhh.... Krystal needs a shave...

A good waxing.

[String Theory]

Josh.....just say no.

Poor kid, that's abuse as well.

Grandpa is hiding where?????

I'll 'weigh' in she's 645 lbs...

The ride to Houston is going to be about 20+ hrs....that's not gonna be fun.

[7EasyPayments]

That is 3 pounds of spaghetti, I hope there are leftovers.

Can you imagine their meet-cute? It's a regular Hallmark movie up in there!

[CrazyInAlabama]

The house is clean, and neat.     Everyone is nicely dressed.    However, the speed everyone eats is going to be a bad (I almost said huge) problem.   If you eat that fast, you won't ever feel full and stop.  But, they do have plates, utensils, and a decent home.      

I really want garlic bread, and I want it now.   

That town she lives in is so small.    It's over 19 hours to Dr. Now's and that's going to be an ordeal.   

I want her to be the first major success this season (apparently this is the first real episode of this season, the others were leftovers from the previous season that they couldn't finish filming because of Covid).     

My guess is that Mommy dearest doesn't feel guilt, she just wants to get on TV, and look supportive.   Mom needs the family plan from Dr. Now.    Except, I have no sympathy for the mother.

I disagree.  Nothing's worse than Spurgeon!

[Kid]

I like it that she got custody of her nephew and I like it but she understands how she is influencing him and it actually bothers her. There might be hope for this one.

I missed the snark fest last week, wasn't feeling too good. It's just not the same show without my fellow pounders.

I have never heard of the name Freelin. She's hooked on a Freelin.
