[mk828]

So he ate a lot to keep the pedos away?? I would figure his mullet would do the trick alone!

Eating habit: I ordered a damned pizza after (2 years of low carb) because I accepted a job!!

This week, I got offers for not one but THREE jobs for which I am not fully qualified, but I applied anyway. THREE offers! I even had the nerve to make the first two wait because I really wanted the third one. Start date: March 8. I'm almost employed!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

JINX I just said the same thing

As my husband says "Pinch, poke, ya owe me a Coke!" Lol

[chickenella]

Alright Pounders!! I have a good feeling about this guy, we'll spoken, clean house and he sounds like he's had enough of being fat. But I'm optimistic every week. 🤞🤞

[Armchair Critic]

Who molested him? Too busy reading here and missed it. His voice sounds like Paul Giamatti.

Did I just see him shave his stomach with a machete? 

I gotta rewatch this!

[Guest]

Did this man go to college to become ... a security guard?

[Scarlett45]

Hi pounders! I made it to the live chat. 
 

For the record, I hate the phrase “took advantage of”- to me that means that someone was manipulated or too trusting. A grown ass adult missed the signs that another grown ass adult was married or something, or someone was emotionally vulnerable and fell into bed with someone for a self esteem boost. 
 

Not that a CHILD was sexually assaulted by an ADULT. No. Hellz no.

This is shaping up to be a theme this season. Didn't someone else get fat to keep the pedos away?

Bad tattoos

One was a pile of books, at least? (I think that was on the wife's arm.)

[Hellga]

This is actually a nice breakfast.  Even has fruit salad!  And not terrible portion size either...   maybe he gets 15 refills or something?  

[7EasyPayments]

I don't want to diminish the impact of sexual abuse, but could the producers of the 

show NOT make it a prerequisite?

CONGRATULATIONS!! 

Thank you, Pepper. I literally jumped up and down when accepting. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Michael Blair, Age 43, Conroe, TX (is that where Karina was from?).      He looks very mobile.   I hate those huge arm tattoos.    That purple patch on his leg looks dangerous.   

Two sons 17 and 12.   

Why do they always whine about getting bigger, when they could portion control, and do Dr. Now's diet at home?    

I am dreading his history of abuse.   Grandma was overfeeding him by seven, when he was 100 lbs.   Camp leader was a freaking pervert, why didn't someone say something, and do something about him?   A lot of kids were his victims.   That is why I would never have a kid in scouting. 

250 lbs, by 14.     Almost 400 lbs by high school graduation.   Close to 500 lbs, but doing martial arts.    Down to 380 by 25.    Met Kimberly, married her, and now they have two kids.

I can relate. When I got the offer for my current job I literally screamed. Not in the ear of the HR rep, thank goodness. But close.

I think I'm the only person w/o a tatt2. 🤪

I have no tattoos. Nor do I have purple hair.

I missed it... Do I want to ask what the knife in the bathroom was for? 

[PaTatertots]

Yeah, if some rando comes and tackles me out of the blue, that's just how you get throat punched. 😂

Don't do that! 

[Wanda]

I want to care but, yeah. Nope.

 

that girl’s smile scares me too much. I can’t do this show anymore. Not even for my peeps.

[Scarlett45]

His wife seems nice. He’s still mobile so she may not be an enabler.

I want the producers to approve a really jolly person who laughs and eats joyfully.  I mean, I want a real life-of-the-party type.

[babyhouseman]

His wife jumped him when they first met?

[Concerned]

He’s very tall. My guess is 800.

I thought it was to scrape off the crud, but others interpreted it as shaving.

Why do they always have an office chair with arms in the kitchen?  If they have to sit down, why not a stool?

For cutting the cake he eats on the toilet.

Yes, they could just wait until before an actual surgery segment.

They don't want to tip us off. Gotta keep us in suspense!

[mk828]

Looks like elementary school cafeteria pizza

[hookedontv]

Thankfully Michael doesn’t have that drab monotone voice most Poundticipants have.

But he’s pretty mobile. He may still be in the 600s. His belly hangs a lot. 

[Pepper Mostly]

They have an Instant Pot!

[Kid]

His wife seems so nice.

They've had several episodes in recent years where there wasn't any.  It was more like mom and/or dad didn't pay me enough attention, or they worked too much, etc.

Don't do that! 

You might think it nice if you were going to visit the rando on purpose.  Might.  Maybe. Probably not.

Looks to me like they jazzed up Totino's party pizzas. 😂

[umgoblue]

Stop the train y'all...I'm here...token in hand...ready to ride...hopefully not a train wreck this week!!!

Eating habit:  pistachios and protein shake.

[Suzywriter]

How are they having sex with these bellies?

"Office chair in the kitchen" is on the bingo card!

In case someone wants to butter their toast while showering. 🧇

[OoogleEyes]

Pizza AND spaghetti AND garlic bread. The Gods of Carbs are smiling down on him

I have no tattoos and don't intend on one.  Why the heck would I want such a permanent accessory?  Life is all about variety.

Martial arts at hundreds of pounds... is that just squashing people?  But he was in a way better shape when he met his wife.  But it's so weird that she fell in love with him based on someone's second hand stories...  why was she so desperate?

[Guest]

Why is there a rave light show machine on all the time behind his chair? Is he going to get up and dance to some LCD Soundsystem at some point?

[Wanda]

My normal weight daughter and her normal weight husband have had 3 miscarriages this past year. I can’t watch the story of a 500 lb man who decides to have a third child and viola, 9 months later there’s the kid. 
 

 

[Armchair Critic]

He sounds self aware.

[Sile]

I'm going 738, he's tall, but seems to be carrying it all in his stomach.

[ams1001]

How many garlic breads you want? 3? 4?

Just bring the whole plate.

"He's a glowing star." Okay, then.

I am getting a carb overload even just looking at the screen.  Pizza, spaghetti and garlic bread...  just wow.  Is that for three of them?

I don't do people coming up behind me, I HATE when someone runs up behind me or tries to sneak up while I'm in my own world. I don't know why, but my fight or flight kicks in!

[Suzywriter]

Can you do school work with them? Needle work? Puzzles? K'nex? Lincoln Logs? Raise tropical fish? Play cribbage?  Pour resin molds? Why do these nitwits think "I can play video games, watch tv or eat."?

My son's a chef at a local spot. He called me to tell me that they use Elio's frozen pizza for the kid's menu pizza. I said I hope that he tarts them up for the kids. 

Aw. He doesn't want to leave the house because he wants to protect his kids. Doesn't wash.

Yeah, he's definitely a unicorn among the typical Poundticipants.
