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. 

[CSunshine76]

“Tendency to misrepresent”…the word is LIE, Dr Paradise.

[lemoncake]

No don't encourage his dependency on mom.

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.

[Pepper Mostly]

"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. 

[lemoncake]

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...

[magemaud]

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

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!

Snooze fest this week folks.

Aw, wasn't he a doll? I had such a crush on him.

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

I absolutely adored him. Adorable, and so talented! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

This episode is even more boring than the usual. 

[DropTheSoap]

Making Mom the keeper of adulthood is worst idea ever, Dr. Paradise.

[lemoncake]

Most boring journal ever

[Auntie Anxiety]

A vision board. Yeah, that will make everything better.

[Pepper Mostly]

"Bend the truth"

"Distort things" 

"Could have been more honest" 

This guy. Sweet tap dancing Jesus.

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.

There is some kind of a chart on the wall! 

[mk828]

Wonder what his downstairs neighbors think.. Must sound like a bowling alley above them!

[ams1001]

Of course we're getting the "larger" smoothie.

[magemaud]

Can anybody figure out what the woman is singing in the Moen commercial? The only word I can make out is “sensation”

[MsVixen]

William looks larger to me.

[Pepper Mostly]

NO SMOOTHIES FOR FUCKS SAKE WILLIAM! 

Jesus, my blood pressure. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

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

[Suzywriter]

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. 

 

[lemoncake]

He needs to do more than fess up. He needs to create a boundary with her. Visit once a week. Text once a day. Thats it. Cut the cord!!

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

[Hellga]

At least they are having a heart to heart.  Maybe something will come out of it.  I am not holding my breath, though.

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

[mmecorday]

I don't think these smoothies are on the diet.

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. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

His goals are like my New Year’s resolutions:

Watch more shitty reality shows

Be more judgmental

Be less friendly

Jesus, my blood pressure. 

Smoothies are full of calories and sugar!

[DropTheSoap]

The show time is longer, but it's just more commercials. 

Which doesn't help when a show is this boring.

I wish you lived closer.

[ams1001]

Gonna fess up to the doc about how he hasn't been super truthful about sticking to the diet.

 

He know, William. He knows.

[Hellga]

He is going to fess up to Dr. Now.  That's his plan.  My guess is he is back to 620.  

[LizzyB]

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.

Edited March 14, 2024 by LizzyB
spelling!

[Auntie Anxiety]

635.

Hey, you gave it a shot.

[OoogleEyes]

I'm sure that William's confession will have a tremendous impact on the good doctor. Why, he may even change his way!!

[lemoncake]

Stop going to the doctor with mommy, fer f#cks sake

[Pepper Mostly]

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. 

[Hellga]

The nurse has the voice of doom.  'Please step on the scale' with absolute resignation and zero sympathy.  

[LizzyB]

"Some of the ways I haven't been super truthful" OMGGGGGGG Shut it!
