MILF Manor got renewed? What the fuck?

Same reaction over here. With an even more "twisted twist? What could that be?

Seriously. What have we, as a nation, done to deserve that?

“No offense…fat ass body”

Oh, I've seen Company before--twice. I love Steven Sondheim. Its very much a period piece at this point-very 70s. 

I don't know how much is left of the original, as I understood, this version is substantially updated.  But if you have seen it and loved it before - I hope you have a grand time! :)    I am going to Clue at the end of the month, I have high hopes for that one.

Oops, posted twice; didn't seem like it posted either time. Comment box is being weird lately.

I'm watching this on the Philo streaming app. I cut TV from my Xfinity package and am saving a ton of $$$.

Philo has some cable channels at $25/month, no contract, including TLC. What I'm finding is that my feed seems to be lagging a few minutes after what at least some of you are seeing, and the commercials are different. Interesting.

Probably the women date the other women's grandsons? One can only guess.

I do NOT want to know what the twisted minds at Sharp came up with. My dreams will be haunted.

Never heard of MILF manor. Im still traumatized from the Tumor show

Somebody from my local area will be on that show. Hello, everyone.

I'm headed to STOMP! in May, then Come From Away (for the second time) in June, for my birthday! I paid for the tickets of course, but hey. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

She’s going on her “last” food binge on the ride to see Dr. Now. 

Four days is plenty of time to lose the weight!

[Chicklet]

Her leg looks bigger than 10 minutes ago. and thats a lot of people stuffed into that vehicle.

[mmecorday]

She does have really nice hair. I love box braids.

Who thinks its weird that the Food Network seems to mostly have shows not about cooking, but about the host going to eating establishments and filling his or her pie hole? Why would I spend time watching someone eat??

My birthday is also in June, but for my birthday I plan to go to USA vs. Uruguay as part of Copa America.  The first live soccer game I will be attending in a long time!  Overall, my plan for mid-June through mid-July is to lay on my couch, drink beer and watch soccer (I will be off for 10 days but I will confess I will be somewhat slacking during the days I am not off too!).  And hope to not turn into this show subject as a result!

[Pepper Mostly]

Friend Shakiya: Are you ready for this journey? 

Shaikya: Yes.

Narrator: She was not ready. 

Her friend is really sweet. I hope Shakiya's worthy of her. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Shakiyia has a lot of friends and family members to blame her weight on when Dr. Now asks her how she’s gotten so big.

The name of the supermarket is Garbage Foods? Sounds about right. 

Actually, it's Compare Foods, but they certainly have a lot of high calorie low nutrition offerings.  The big stores don't allow filming any longer, so the producers have to find a store that will let them film.     

She's had a rotten life, and I'm hoping she follows the program, gets the surgery, and Dr. Now can remove that horribly painful, and dangerous lymphedema.  

Getting snaks lined up for the drive to Houston isn't on the Dr. Now plan.    Her family seems supportive, and so is her friend.   A three row SUV was a great idea.  

This trek to Dr. Now's is going to be rough. 

5 hours on the first day was a great start.   However, the Stagecoach Cafe looks like a fun place.   Another one that thinks the camera crew isn't attracting attention.

Sad for the shock absorbers.

Oh dear, she ate so many snacks she can barely get into the car now. It's been a day.

I think it's to promote restaurants.

We will need the DIRT from you! One of my favorite genres is "hometown newspaper interviews local currently featured on a reality show." The local reporters ask the best, most invasive questions, and the newly minted, temporary celebrities (cough, cough) have NO media training!  It's a s*tshow!

[ams1001]

Is it just me or was the camera angle when they were showing the van from behind tilted to the right a bit? That was on purpose, wasn't it?

Edited April 11 by ams1001

[lemoncake]

I'm taking names of the family members who are saying they know she can do it  to see how supportive they are when things get tough.

[Pepper Mostly]

Here we go. One hour later. She has to stop for food. 

Yes, when I feel ill the thing I want is a plate of nachos and half a dozen corn dogs. With a root beer float. Jesus. 

[Pi237]

As a big & tall person, I can’t hate on the trip complaints-those long drives are brutal on the knees and hips. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

A buffet. Is anyone surprised?

I used to watch the Food Network a couple nights a week some 15-20 years ago when they were actually cooking, but then the competition became about clowning instead of about cooking, and the cooking component overall started to get lost and I stopped.   I don't know if that's what the public wants or if it's what production thinks the public wants, but this country really would benefit more from people knowing how to cook tasty and healthy food, not people showing how much flair they've got...

Well, the episode description suggests that mom bails, so I'm curious how that'll go down.

It was an article I read. She loves to dance. https://www.witn.com/2024/04/05/eastern-carolina-woman-looking-love-new-season-tlc-show/

Just got in from a busy day. So glad to be among pounder pals.

That. Burger is Massive. 

[mmecorday]

"Welcome to the Stagecoach, where our burgers are big as wagon wheels!"

[lemoncake]

Its never good when the poundparticipant wants to stop on the way to Dr Now and stuff their face because this will be the last time. 

[LizzyB]

I'm trying to recall, have we ever seen a Poundticipant break a chair in a restaurant? I feel like there's a high probability of that happening, yet I don't remember it ever happening on this show.  Shakiya's Stagecoach chair made me nervous!

She has to load up on fried chicken and biscuits and pancakes and ice cream an soda and pizza and tacos and lots of stuff smothered in cheese and/or ranch before she goes to Dr. Now and can never eat anything "good" again. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

She’s ready to turn back. That food was just too tasty and she isn’t looking forward to never eating it again (until she “makes a mistake” that is).

Boy, her breathing and her leg!  Normally I'm a little hardhearted about patients who've eaten themselves into these problems, but she's had a lot of real trauma - not 'mom loved him best' stuff. 

She needs a wheelchair or walker. Whew.
