S09.E11: Shannon's Journey LIVE CHAT

[SunnyBeBe]

I wouldn’t think that sitting on a hard floor would be comfortable for anyone of any weight for more than an hour.  So, their expectations are unreasonable. 

[aliya]

Can somebody explain again why these people are in pain when they're just sitting or laying down? I don't want to be mean, just curious.

Simon sounds like he's a bit fed up. Dad ain't too happy either. 

[Concerned]

I love how the cameraman doesn’t put down his equipment and help. He’s probably thinking her tears are gold.

[Pepper Mostly]

They should just roll her out into the parking lot and drive away. 

[snarkish]

Someone this size does not need to be transported in the back of a minivan for a drive that long. Seriously? Who thought this would work? I am no where near this size and I would be "stove up" sitting in the back like that after an hour or two.

It doesn't seem fair does it.

I bought a couch from FB Marketplace a couple of years ago, and I rented a UHaul to pick it up.  It was only about $30.... 

[Hellga]

This version of 'oh my laig' is too long and not memorable enough!

[nytonc]

They’ll never make it to Dr Now

[ams1001]

Gee, maybe he doesn't remember exactly how he had it when you left. Jeez!

I love how she went from whining 6 year old to angry yelling and back to whining.

[umgoblue]

Oh my goodness, what are we watching?  Fat ass Baby Huey crying like a 2 year old.  The fuck...

I can't.

[Kid]

Dump her out on the fucking road and drive away.

[Suzywriter]

Ooh, she's a nasty bitch.

They’re gonna need a pound of crisco and a winch to get her in the car

Expand  

People used to talk about crisco parties back in the 70s.  I don't think they had this situation in mind. 🙂

[sainte-chapelle]

This is Whitney and Buddy in 5 years...the pout, the blubbering...the Baby Huey pose...pure Whit

[HulaTallula]

Oh my, I missed the first 35 minutes, and I cannot stand her. 

The transport plan is a bad idea, but she went right to whining and tears, and then got mean.

I dont think they are allowed to help.

[MsVixen]

Must admit that the family of MsVixen would never be taking care of someone like Shannon.  How do you watch an immediate relative get to a point where they can't do anything for themselves?  MsVixen's family would have let that relative know that being in the 200s was cause for concern.

I mean Dr. Now does say to excersise.. Could be helpful for her to walk/waddle after the van!

BTW, the snark is GOLD tonight. We are a well-oiled machine. 

I hate you, Wayfair.

[DropTheSoap]

She needs to be in a bariatric ambulance. But you know that ain't happening.

So rent a cargo van and put down a mattress.

[Wollstonecraft]

Why are the women so dang horrid? Crying like a baby.  Stick a drumstick in her mouth already.

Because of their weight their entire body hurts, I can absolutely believe it.  Think of how bed sores form on pressure points - they get to a 'pre-sore' point far quicker, and their skin is stretched thin, and their joints are damaged, and they have oxygen saturation issues...  and they like as not have diabetes and could have neuropathy from uncontrolled diabetes...

I do really believe she is hurting. All of that pressure, a bump on the road would intensify it. Also the cargo area wasn’t designed for humans to sit in!

[CringeWatcher]

“Act just a little bit normal, Shannon!”   I do not like this woman.  I have sugar-free strawberry panna cotta.  That is all.

The crew of this show are the real MVP's without their bravery, we wouldn't have our weekly snark. One can only imagine what these brave men/women must endure. 

[snarkish]

My 13 year old stumbled through the living room earlier, glanced at the TV and mumbled on her way out: "Spoiler...she'll never lose weight or get surgery...why do you even watch anymore."

[Guest]

It takes 15.5 hours to drive from Tucson to Houston.

15.5 hours in the car with blubbering, pooping, peeing, complaining Shannon.

Simon and her dad will need a bottle of Jack Daniels each after this Journey to Hell ends.

[Suzywriter]

Why not use a couple of mechanic's back creepers or a padded dolley to move her into the van? Seriously. They're like, $12 bucks each and would save so much sobbing and so many sciatic nerve paths.

[WonTon]

Almost an hour in and we're still on Month 1! Another uber-fail!

[7EasyPayments]

The girl in the Kohl's ad has no sclera..........

Freaky.

[HulaTallula]

At the very least they needed a real wheelchair van, with a ramp.

It's like they are trapped in quadruple gravitational pull.

Raising them right.

[EtheltoTillie]

Since I have not watched for a couple of years I don’t know how they are handling the pandemic. Are they still sending people to Texas like normal?  Or were these episodes filmed before?

That would shut her up. Stop in a fast food joint and and buy her about 50 dinners. She can eat her way to Houston.

[Donut Bear]

Why in the world would the neighbors be going on this trip?  Are they all going to jam into Dr. Now’s exam room?

don’t even want to think about the bathroom situation on this trip 

[WonTon]

These people are awful.

[Guest]

What kind of bullshit is this that we didn't see her entering the hotel room and breaking the bed?

You underestimate the seriousness of the sitchiashun...

[HulaTallula]

I knew they'd never do 17hrs straight through. I'm amazed they made it to Las Cruces. They've got all of Texas to go. 

[OoogleEyes]

I don't think that Shannon fell in love with Simon's smile 

[Wollstonecraft]

"I was hungry.  We just had to stop".

[sagittarius sue]

I knew she wouldn't more than 4-5 hours the first day.

[nytonc]

How can she be sobbing and blubbering in pain AND hungry??

[Suzywriter]

Simon has quite the dodgy set of gnashers.

And it's 100% their own doing.

No one believed they would do 17 hours in one sitting...  Will they do it in 2 days or will it take 3?   Who wants to bet it will be fast food they eat on the road, and not salads but something to 'pick her up' after all the suffering?
