Gawd, he looks like he's going to collapse before he even reaches the car.

Ohmygod, I cackled. I understand they're probably trying not to sound as stilted as the other Poundticipants, but jeez. Cut the dramatics.

He only has a 45 minute drive!!

2 drive thrus.

On the way there.

[chickenella]

I noticed this season many of the poundpicipants (pardon my spelling) live in TX, and I can't recall any supermarket scenes. Wonder if it's because of covid? (Limited amount of people allowed in the stores)

[CrazyInAlabama]

Doug from Wichita Falls had a wife who had bypass or sleeve surgery.    He had his, and then they both went to keeping with the program, and lost a lot of weight.   

He's tall, isn't he?      Sorry, but having someone who hasn't driven for two years, and has a lot of anxiety is a recipe for disaster.    Having the back of the seat flat is a terrible idea too, and no seat belt.  

Yes, 45 minute drive, is plenty of time for two Whataburger stops, with the giant combo meals, with the huge burgers.

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.

I doubt a happy jolly person would eat themselves up to 600+lb - they would have other things than food in their life, and they wouldn't want to eat to the point where they lose mobility...

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!

I don't mind people coming up behind me (I am very good at sensing people and I have excellent hearing, it's pretty hard to sneak up on me).  But if someone runs up at me, especially someone I don't know, that someone will be on the ground, followed by either an ambulance or a police car.

Aren’t his kids old enough to be without a babysitter??? It’s a 45 minute ride, they will be gone for a few hours. 

Acting as amateur shrink, maybe he's overprotective of his kids because of his past. 

[DropTheSoap]

I feel failure coming on.

[Suzywriter]

How does wifey stand that sagging, miserable, joyless wretch?

I was going to say...  Then again, he can't go outside and play ball with them, so therefore they have to sit in the house and play video games.  Maybe he's overprotective because of his own childhood?

Don't forget the hat!  It's very slimming.  Just remember to take it off before the weigh in.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, he's already getting combative. These two! The histrionics! They're like a pair of 15 year olds, mooning and sighing. 

[mk828]

Sooo... does he sit on the folded down seat to drive??? 

[Kid]

Oh dear!!!  He is turning into a whiner!!

[Scarlett45]

Why is he getting pissy with her??

This guy is not going to do well.

He's so negative already. And she said he stops when things even look like they aren't going his way. I have no patience with people like that and couldn't live with having to constantly build him up - cause I bet he doesn't do it for her.

[Guest]

This guy and his dramatics are annoying me. 

It's 8:26. 

[poeticlicensed]

I'm not thinking this is going to be a success story.

He was molested at this ago so maybe he’s overprotective. Also he’s a huge drama queen.

GMTA!  I even used the same word!

[Armchair Critic]

His whining would be a major turn off if I was his wife

It's suddenly like being around my 16 year-old niece and my 12 year-old nephew.

OMG! He is soooo much drama! Hope is dead. This is just the appt guys, not the surgery.

 

[Donut Bear]

I hope he takes his hat off to get weighed. Doesn’t need the extra weight. 

[hookedontv]

Oh the drama!!

[Hellga]

Wow, I want to smash Michael's 'woe is meeee' face into that steering wheel.  I *hate* people like that.  Whatever Kim's shortcomings, the fact she hasn't murdered this man and had three kids by him already makes her a saint in my eyes.

I guess his weight at 672.  Again.  He is mobile but he is on the tall side and he must have some muscle under there after his martial arts training...

I do too... He had a PS5 controller, it came out in November. Just doesn't seem like he's going to make a year with that being there.

Not sure I can deal with this episode to the end.

He’s already 600+ lbs of dead-to-me.

So they didn't stop for fast food.  What show is this?  I mean, I know it was a 45 minute drive but still . . . .

Too bad he couldn't stick with the martial arts. 

Martial arts in the park at the end of the show.

[Armchair Critic]

He looks like he should be with Chrissy Metz, he reminds me a bit of Toby on This Is Us

[Floatingbison]

I hope we're getting two tickets to (Dr) Paradise tonight!

It’s judgment day!!

[umgoblue]

Uh, oh!  He can't see 700...my guess 712 (just so I can see his head explode)!!

[Hellga]

That neon-green smock on the nurse is something.  That's like Word highlight bright.  

[PaTatertots]

Whoa, he's tall! 

Guessing 789

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Dramatic commercial break!

[hookedontv]

Commercial break. Time for my push-ups and crunches!

[Twopper]

So far, his wife has the patience of a saint.  He's a real Debbie Downer (is there an equivalent male term for that?_

[Kid]

He is not going to like it when he is told there is work he needs to do to get what he wants.  Not going to like it at all!!

[Armchair Critic]

It amazes me that these people who are (to be honest) so unattractive plus have a sucky personality end up with a nice mate/
