S04.E01: Touched By a Holy Hand

[DanaK]

Quote

Abishola and Kemi hatch a plan to keep Ebun and the new pastor’s flirtation from growing. Also, Bob is thrown for a loop when Goodwin leaves MaxDot for a better job at Christina’s company, on the fourth season premiere of the CBS Original series BOB ♥ ABISHOLA, Monday, Sept. 19 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+

Bob really lost a lot of weight he looks good

Geez louise Billy Gardell has lost so much weight.

He looks wonderful.

Other than that, the story was ok.

His clothing also fits him properly this season.

I guess they are moving away from Abishola being dressed in more traditional Nigerian clothing. I thought Chewpacabra's mother recently had hip surgery, she should even be out of bed, let alone walking without a cane.

Just some random thoughts from tonight's episode. Kemi trying to seduce that Pastor had me laughing. Abishola's mother looked really pretty at the church in her blue dress. And while it's nice having the show back, I wanted more Dele.

My favorite scenes are almost always when Gloria, Abishola and Kemi are having lunch.  They play so well off each other.   😆

 I loved it when Gloria got up and left.  Vernee Watson has such great delivery and timing.

I like watching her pretend to eat.  She's really good at it.

Dottie is a little too excited by her son risking his health multiple times for the sake of the company.  If he has a fatal heart attack, who does she think is going to rise up to save the company the way Bob did when his father died?

[HurricaneVal]

Christine going full Dottie there was disconcerting.  I kind of like the direction they're going with Christine, that she's all competent businesswoman until she's around family, then she gets shrieky and crazy.  I can relate.

That scene was so OTT I actually thought Bob was dreaming!  Then it kept going and I'm like "wait, he's not going to wake up and gasp?".  He needs a break for sure. Bad way to do it but it seems like in this family the only way to get anything for yourself is to bail like Christina did. Talking gets you nowhere as no one listens.  Unfortunately, that includes Bob.  Had he listened he would not have been surprised by Goodwin leaving. They all take everyone for granted.    

On a happier note - I really liked Abishola's yellow sweater and a lot of the outfits tonight!   I adore Gloria and that was my favorite scene followed by poor Dele 'cheating' on his study partner :-)

Billy is looking great, good for him! I hope that this means that Bob is taking a break or is going to delegate his work more, he deserves to not have the weight of the whole company on his shoulders. 

Christine slipping into Dottie mode was as hilarious as it was terrifying. I like that Christine really is maturing, but she turns back into her neurotic self pretty quickly, especially when her family gets involved.

I know health wise it’s wonderful about the weight loss but I think he looks unwell.  Maybe it just takes getting used to when you are used to see someone one way. It seems this happens more to men that lose a lot of weight than to women. John Goodman. 
I’m not feeling the show so much this season. Will see what happens.

He's diabetic and open about it. I figure the weight loss has to do with that and wanting to live longer. He did lose a lot pretty quickly; he may have had bariatric surgery, too.

He did have bariatric surgery last year.  This article tells more about it:

I don't think it's you, I've noticed this myself.  My husband just found out he is a diabetic a little over a month ago and has lost about 12 pounds so far.  He doesn't look the way Billy and John look but he doesn't have as much weight to lose as they did.  I think it has something to do with losing weight rapidly after a certain age and the skin not being elastic enough anymore so they end up looking droopy and even gaunt.  Women tend to lose weight more slowly plus have more bodyfat even at a normal weight than men so that might help keep them looking heathier.  Just a theory.
