S09.E12: Irene's Journey LIVE CHAT

[Suzywriter]

Amazing how aging works. I can't imagine going out trolling for sex like Brittany is advertising. I've turned into Ouisa from Steel Magnolias, minus the money.

I need to look into air fryers. I don’t want to spend a lot in case I don’t use it. I don’t eat meat so it would be for all my veggies and maybe tofu. 

I didn't eat meat when I got my first one (I'm on my 3rd) and it was fine. You can try out a smaller one for <$70, but I think you'll like it so much, you should probably get a regular sized one for $80-110.

[WonTon]

Wait, what - did she just say she isn't dieting?

I had to go take my fresh-baked bread out.

Yum. The smell of fresh-baked bread.  Years ago my grandmother would always bake up a batch the day we came to visit, what a greeting!

I spent about $65 fro mine, I think, but it was on special for Christmas. I didn't even want one, I got one for my son for Xmas. I ordered one, got my confirmation, then got an email saying it was on backorder, and that if I didn't want to wait, to do nothing and the order would be cancelled. So I did nothing and found one at another store. You know the rest. A week later, after I received shipping notification on the second one, I got a cheerful email saying my item was off backorder and on the way! Rather than faff around with trying to return one, I kept one. and I LOVE it. I use it probably 3 or 4 times a week.

Roasted tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper then topped with a balsamic glaze.  Perfection.

Or a little red pepper flakes and lemon. Delish.

I think they filmed this entire episode in a month. Irene never weighed "603 pounds." The apartment isn't hers. COVID was in full swing long before they ever started filming and conveniently used that as some "event" that dramatically altered Irene's "journey." 

This show is such bullshit. 

 

 

I wonder if they filmed the first half years ago and then gave up on her. But when COVID started, they went back to her because she was in Houston and they had an hour in the can. She clearly hasn’t made any progress and will never get surgery, but she fulfills the contract for a certain number of shows.

Irene walks pretty well for her size. I missed it, how old is she?

39.  She must be tall, right?  I didn't think she would be over 600 lbs at the beginning of this episode.

[WonTon]

Here we go!

She trolls old rich dudes. Maybe there's still a chance for wealth.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Bigger. Much bigger. Guarantee.

Mine is a bit small, I will probably get a bigger one somewhere down the line.

Guys, I’m nearly comatose.

In a gym. 

During a pandemic.

No masks on ANYONE. 

I'm done. 

And they were so physically close to one another.  It was bizarre.

Welp I am reading I spent a lot on my air fryer ....I think appliances are more expensive in Canada though. It is a big one.

It took me a WHILE and a lot of experiments before I made good bread

Now I'm coughing. I've caught what Irene has.

Just roll your ass through the park and call it a day.

Just want to re-up this gem of a comment from @WonTon

[mmecorday]

I wonder if Irene refers to her wigs as her girls like Moira Rose does?

[WonTon]

You know it's another snoozer when we'd rather talk about bread, South Park and air fryers.

I love it with mango pieces.  Delightful sweet-salty combo.

I like broccoli, and I ADORE asparagus. Now that I have an air fryer I always have it--I roast it up with a tiny bit of olive oil and kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. I love bags of salad and those little grape tomatoes. 

I love asparagus! Steamed, roasted, with Hollandaise, with lemon juice, in a savory tart, cream of asparagus soup, in risotto. My sister grows it in her garden and is very nice about sharing.

This season is a flop. No surgery for anyone.

OMG my husband brought home a bundle of asparagus last week. The spears were tiny (slim), smaller around than my little finger, so they cooked in  90 seconds.  Butter and lemon juice. We had two days worth.  

[Chicklet]

Now I'm craving broccoli, thanks lol

[umgoblue]

She is on her way to wheelchairing in a parking lot territory. Or in the drive-thru.

Calling Janine...Calling Janine

 

[magemaud]

Dr. Now is going to forget how to operate 

[sainte-chapelle]

I love broccoli and asparagus but they cause me....intestinal distress and many bathroom breaks. I eat way too much per sitting.

Wow, she actually beat the goal by 5 pounds!

I have noticed that she's had the same random fake nails missing for the entire 7 months.

It wonderful. I put on Roast,400 degrees. 8 minutes. Yum. 

Okay, now that's the same with me and my oven. I'm trying to justify another thing to put on my counter 

[WonTon]

Wow! Good job!

[Hana Chan]

Wow... she actually did it. Good for her.

[babyhouseman]

Can Dr. Now do surgery in 5 minutes?

[sagittarius sue]

She finally managed to lose some weight.

[3girlsforus]

Wow!! She actually did it. Imagine if she'd tried the entire time.

[TazDevil]

"she" did it or everyone around her cooking for her and making her do exercise did it?

[hookedontv]

The pandemic is not an excuse. She didn’t do anything but sit at home to begin with. Sick of these excuses. 

[DropTheSoap]

Guess with her son at home she couldn't sneak in the delivery food.

[sainte-chapelle]

Wow colour me impressed.

You and me both. The older I get, the more items get added to my "eat sparingly" column.
