I don’t even know what chicken fried steak is…

I had it once or twice decades ago in Oklahoma, where I assume they know how to do it well, but didn't like it. What I do like is chicken fried chicken. Omaha Steaks sell it, but I can also get it from the grocery store  here in Iowa. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I do.

Not even being snarky but their mom was on meth all the time…they might have developmental issues due to her using when pregnant. 

That explains the wobble 

[EtheltoTillie]

He’s excited. Translation: delusional.

His brother does seem sweet. I'd never have the patience.

Bro self-medicates for patience. 

[Pepper Mostly]

So, how much do you think he's lost? I'm betting at most he's lost 22 pounds.

[DropTheSoap]

None.

It's a poor, poor piece of steak that's breaded and fried like chicken. It's very sad and was originally a way to make less desireable cuts of beef better. Or so I was told. I was lied to as a kid though.

That gravy tho ❤

[EtheltoTillie]

I am astonished.  He does not look smaller. 

[katycat74]

Not bad! I'm surprised

[ams1001]

Wow, he did better than I expected. Less than ten pounds away from the goal.

[Auntie Anxiety]

604? Doesn’t look like he put a dent in it.

I love fried chicken..not all the time though…I am not Charles

[Pi237]

Woah. Good for him. 

[CSunshine76]

Oh hell, his BP is better than mine normally is. F me.

[Hellga]

Wow he did manage to lose 73 pounds somehow.  Very decent progress.  Can he do it consistently for a long time, that's the question. 

[MsVixen]

Just think!  When he loses all his weight, he will look like Danny DeVito!!!  

[Chicklet]

So now he's not moving to Houston? What is his problem.

He wishes. 

He's all upset that Dr. Now isn't groveling and begging his forgiveness for being so mean. 

[Red Bridey]

oh, this guy. He is so annoying.

[ams1001]

"I'm not moving to Houston." Does he plan to lie to Dr. Now?

Does he think production isn't going to tell Dr. Now he said that? He does know he's on camera, right?

[Auntie Anxiety]

“I don’t give a shit about Dr. Now’s stupid rules.”

I'm not sure if it is fried - though I guess 'chicken fried chicken' would be a hint, huh? There's certainly a batter? skin? on it, but it doesn't taste like fried chicken to me. It's a different texture.  I'm not putting any of that white gravy on it, though. I'm not a barbarian.

[Hellga]

What's holding him in Washington?  Not like either of them has a job or any actual commitments.  Are they secretly mooching off the sister or something?  Or their benefits are tied to staying in Washington? 

[sainte-chapelle]

Can’t he get surgery at home with another Dr?

[ams1001]

Please tell Kevin Hart to stop yelling at me.

[crazycatlady58]

He doesn’t seem to understand that they don’t need to move to Houston forever just for a year.

I couldn't see any difference. He still moves like a weeble.

I know. I definitely would have ordered that.

To be fair, he doesn't seem to be especially bright.

Okay, with just 10 minutes left, in case y'all don't return for next week, I need to say thanks. My Mom used to watch the show and we'd debrief on Thursdays as I drove to work.  She LOVED Dr. Now and loved when he got SERIOUS with the Poundicipants.  Sometimes I'd tell her what y'all wrote and she cracked up many times over your witty commentary.  Anyway, this Saturday marks one year since she passed away. It's been tough, but you have honestly all made this past few months much nicer.  I can actually watch the show and be happy and not sad--still missing my Mom, but at the point where I can laugh again (in general) and, here, think about her in happy ways.  I just wish she could have seen Dr. Now's next-level shade and snark this season!  Thank you all--you are the BEST!

[DropTheSoap]

Making his own rules for Dr Now is not a good sichuashun. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Actually, chicken fried steak is with white gravy, country fried steak is with brown gravy.  Sweet tea is something I can't explain. 

Month 7-677 lb. 

Month 8-Back in Everett.  15 minutes from the end of the episode, this is a snoozefest.  

Month 9-still in Everett.  Another tie died shirt, and on his way to his Uber to the local clinic.   Weight: 604 lbs. down 73 lbs.   I'm surprised he did that well.  Call to Dr. Now, and Dr. Now tells him to lose 40 more lbs in two months, and move to Houston.   If he meets those two conditions he'll get surgery.   Charles says he's not moving to Houston, still thinks he can get surgery and fly back to Everett.

Their dealers are in WA.

lol 😂 I read it as fried chicken but that sounds delicious. I know fried chicken is fried but I don’t like overly greasy fried chicken….i recognize this makes zero sense

[Auntie Anxiety]

Wasting space in a fridge on your dog’s food? How can that even be a thing? My dog comes first!

Trust me Houston has plenty of dealers.

[EtheltoTillie]

I like chicken fried steak with cream gravy, but can’t really get it in NYC. 

[ams1001]

Did we need a full view of that woman's thong-clad backside?

Sister does still exist!

[Auntie Anxiety]

No juice! 

[Hellga]

He is such a clown.  I can't move to Houston so I have no motivation to lose weight because I am only doing it for the doctor and not for my health, yeah.  *facepalm* 

[sainte-chapelle]

I don’t like the purple hair. Not flattering on her.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Ummm, Sis, you can exercise AND count at the same time.

[Hellga]

He will do it his way.  Heh.  How long  before he is back up to 700?  

[OoogleEyes]

The journey of my weight loss, not my weight loss journey. How refreshing

[babyhouseman]

Darn, Dr. Now is asking too much. He won't go to WA state to operate.

Aw, right back at ya, neighbor! You should join us for Love After Lockup on Fridays. Some quality snark right there. 

Seriously, to echo the peerless @LizzyB, you are all a real bright spot in my week, and I love our oddball little community of snarkers.

That's the sign that Saint Peter put up at the Pearly Gates when O.J. Simpson died.

You are asking for some serious mulit-tasking. 

[Suzywriter]

Charles never smiles.

[LizzyB]

"Dr. Now has just asked for too much." This sums up his whole life. Dude's trying to SAVE YOUR LIFE but you see it as a burden. Sheesh. I can't.
