Is Dr. Paradise a little person, or just not real tall?

He’s short but not a LP. He always looks so tiny next to the poundticipants.

I don't think we've ever figured that out. Just from comparison to pounders whose height we knew, it seems he's only about 5 feet tall, if that.

Ok, that's just "not tall". He is in the Danny DeVito arena.

"Back on track"

Oh dear god Mama lurked in the waiting area? Couldn't she go get a coffee or something?

My beloved Davy Jones of the Monkees was five foot three. Precious adorable elf.

William throws the depression word out there a lot. I didn't hear any  convo with the doctor about depression. Its a word he uses to excuse himself

I accidentally sprinkled double the garlic into my soup.  It's not bad but it's weird.  Kind of goes with this episode, I guess.  Not truly memorably snark-worthy, not successful, just garden variety delusional...

She needs some training!

Sit her down in front of the tv to watch with you and keep giving her treats while marking it with a clicker. Positive training techniques!

William’s mom is going to make him a Star Chart with stickers for good behavior 

Didn't some other Poundticipant's indulgent mama do that? Someone will know.

Okay, I did a google and found a reddit post from four years ago commenting on how the doctors are all tiny on this show and make the patients look even bigger. Dr. Paradise commented on it! (But does not confirm his height.)

Quote

I am, in fact, travel size. People let out an audible sigh of relief when they sit next to me on airplanes.

My size was an asset as a wrestler back in my school days, and I think it sometimes makes me more approachable to clients now. I think I also have a special appreciation for people who are perceived as physically different.

That said, my height had absolutely no bearing on my becoming involved with the 600 show. I was initially asked to participate, sight unseen, and the office layout you see in the episodes is pretty much identical to what it looks like for any client I see in person.

Anecdote: I'm taking a partner dance class without a partner. We all get paired up by the instructor. It's so bloody hard! Left, right, turn, step, what???

All of these grey geezers are twirling around me like they are on pixie dust, and I'm clomping around like a mobile anvil.

So sitting in his living room wouldn’t be a good place for a long talk, because you can’t justify a supersize smoothie.

He can get down on the floor, and get up?

NO SMOOTHIES FOR FUCKS SAKE WILLIAM! 

Jesus, my blood pressure. 

You should apply to work for Dr. Now. The 2 of you together would set these delusional poundticipants straight!

That's because they've been doing it forever! I would love to take a dance class, so I'm seething with jealousy.

I did a tap dancing class as an adult. I learned that I cannot pick up choreography. I did not learn to tap dance.

This is the stupidest system I have ever seen.  Tokens? Mom's getting them or giving them or whatever?  This man is 34 frickin' years old. Nothing makes sense.

So now he'll have lost 20 pounds and think he's king of the world. Cut to the famous final scene of a walk in some sad, shitty park, while his droning voiceover tells how how excited he is to continue his journey and see what the future holds.
