S09.E12: Irene's Journey LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Irene had to move back in with her son because her weight made it unbearable to live on her own.  When Dr. Now can't get through to her, the only thing that might help her break the cycle is a once-in-a-lifetime chain of events. 

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the initial US showings.

Good evening, Pounders!  I hope everyone is well!!

I have a feeling to know it's going to be another disaster. But maybe we will be pleasantly surprised.

[babyhouseman]

Hello. 

[7EasyPayments]

Hello people!

1526 calories today, watched part of JT hope he had lymphedema surgery.

How many times did he have to explain it WAS NOT his scrotum?!?!?1

Hi Pounders!

Irene? This is what happened when Irene came through the Dunkin' Donuts near where I work...

[Hurricane Irene, New Jersey, 2011]

(I know, I know. I got my gasoline-soaked shorts right here. Who wants to sit next to me on the bus?)

Dinner was mac & cheese with broccoli. Now I have Irish Cream Brownie ice cream. This stuff is addictive. I might need an intervention. 🍨

[umgoblue]

Hiya Pounders!  It is great to be in fellowship again this week. 

And away we go....

[sagittarius sue]

Hi gang.  I'm here with my wine (which comes from a big bottle), and I'm ready to go!

[Pepper Mostly]

Good evening my dear snarkers! Is everyone well and healthy? Are you getting vax appointments? 

Eating habit? Shakshuka and some of my nice warm from the oven bread, followed by two double chocolate-espresso chip cookies.

FIFY...

You need to be ready this week.  Our track record states that a bottle won't be enough!

Not eligible yet but I might be at the end of the month, if "office of a warehouse but I can work from home" counts as warehouse worker.

[Chicklet]

Irene went through Eastern NC too and tore down a lot of trees in my hometown.

[Azubah]

She's not that big!

[Pepper Mostly]

Sheetless bed! Already have one bingo square!

[ams1001]

Did that say "weight unknown"?

She doesn't even look that big sitting on the bed. I mean, relatively speaking, of course.

[fonfereksglen]

She sleeps in her swimsuit!!! 

[MsVixen]

Hello Pounders!!!  Are we all getting our vaccines and staying safe?

[Concerned]

She’s got a big gut, but her legs look strong. She showers well too.

[aliya]

Hello Pounders!  My eating habit was 2 beef patties on some homemade bread. I don't feel like eating much, but the night is still young.

Hmm, she doesn't look that big (and yes, I know my sense of what is big has been ruined by this show).

[babyhouseman]

Compared to last week, at least she's mobile.

[ams1001]

Showers by herself. In an actual shower.

[Chicklet]

She looks very round.

I got my J & J vaxx on Monday!  I could probably spend Easter with my brother's family now.

We have both.  March 19 is our freedom day.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Irene Walker, age 39 (I think), Houston, TX.    She doesn't look that big, but then she's following Shannon from last week.   

I had my first Moderna on 1 March, and am scheduled for 30 March for the second.  Since it's at Walmart, then I'll be collecting a lot of Dr. Now hated foods on my way home.

[umgoblue]

She's from Houston....

We will be denied the road trip with multiple stops at fast food, screams of "my layhag", searching for housing, asking someone to uproot their lives to help you on your journey...cause this is you last chance...

This episode should already be 45 minutes shorter!

[aliya]

Time for another wig, girlfriend.

[Suzywriter]

Hey, Pounders!
I'm tired enough to die, but I'm pushing myself because I know that Dr. Now wants me here. 

Irene looks small...and takes 2 showers a day. There is hope!

 

[AnnaBaptist]

In the hospital, recovering from surgery. Only clear liquids allowed, so no eating habit! 

This doesn't sound promising, so I am looking forward to live chat!

Fully vaccinated here! 

[umgoblue]

Please tell me we did not see her just put on her wig (but not well, it looks like a rat on the top of her head)...and adjust it?  We are in for a treat tonight, Pounders!

TLC is already out of control.

[7EasyPayments]

French fries with catsup, haven't had them in YEEEEEEERRRRSSSS 

[DropTheSoap]

Hey pounders! I'm going to say 562 lbs to start. I think she might be kind of short, relatively.

Eating habit tonight is a pretty basic salad with a couple hard boiled eggs, because I just cooked up a bunch of hard boiled eggs.

[Suzywriter]

eating habit was 3 spoonfuls of peanut butter and a chocolate whey protein shake because I'm too tired to cook or roll up some sliced turkey even.

[ams1001]

They give me shit for it but as long as they still give me food...

Hmm, I wanna guess 612 but I feel like that might be a little high, even.

I was going to say the same thing and she’s able to get in the shower twice a day! 

[Brooklynista]

Ugh! These are some of the rattiest wigs I have seen in quite some time. We might need to call Lola in early this week.

[Kid]

She does not look that big and she mobile.

 

[Azubah]

That woman is barely 400 pounds. Harrumph!

[Guest]

I just got home ... turned the TV on ... AND OH MY GOD THAT WIG

The CROTCH

[poeticlicensed]

I smell ATTITUDE!

Well, I was very unpopular in the Harry and Meghan forum. So I'm glad to be among my peeps!!  🤣🤣

Meghan lost me with the rescue chickens and how they are living “authentically” in a $15 million estate.

[Suzywriter]

These two are pretty entertaining!

She could run circles around Shannon.

One circle, at least. Walking. Slowly.

Big enuffff.

[Eldemarge]

Hello all!  This lady is absolutely slim compared to last week's lady.  Maybe she can make it??

[Brooklynista]

Is this a  performance piece? Can she really be this gross eating chicken?
