Season 13 Live Chat

[OoogleEyes]

"I'm going to prove you wrong"

BINGO!

[Hellga]

753.  Not any better.  Meh.  Another delusional guy.  

I guess our prize will be a ride around the courtyard in a scooter chair?  Or maybe a consolation cake. 

[Chicklet]

Oh he's going to prove him wrong! He is really delusional, I wonder why therapy wasn't part of the deal?

[ams1001]

What is with the terrible plastic surgery on those 90 Day women? I really wonder what those people actually see when they look in the mirror? 

[lemoncake]

Dr Now isn't getting any younger Gary. It this rate its gonna be a decade before he loses enough weight to qualify

[aliya]

I didn't understand Dr Now. Gary messed up, but Dr Now was still going to do what for him?

[mmecorday]

"I'm going to be the next Biggie Smalls! Only I'll call myself Really Biggie Smalls!" 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Two hours? For this? I might have learned my lesson after this stupid episode.

[ams1001]

You know it's bad when the PT needs to wear rubber gloves.

I show up for the Live Chats because ya'll make me smile. 

[lemoncake]

A walk in the park is now a motorized roll through the courtyard

[Auntie Anxiety]

Gary’s going to need a few vanilla cupcakes after this strenuous workout.

[mk828]

Whelp another 2 hours of nothing! Hopefully next week will be better.

Me too. It’s the only reason that I haven’t bailed.

[SunnyBeBe]

I wonder if he’s still alive. 

[katycat74]

No walk in the park, but a a few steps in a courtyard instead..

[OoogleEyes]

Whelp, I keep saying that I've reached my limit. Damn, that was bad.

But, I just can't quit my Pounders! I'll bring cupcakes next week!

[Pepper Mostly]

So no walk in the the park, we get to enjoy Gary shuffling across the courtyard of his building. Inspirational.

Or do a spin off with just the ex wives. No kooty

Christine is pretty insufferable with her dramatic squealing. 

[ams1001]

He thinks he's going to go to Houston and surprise Dr. Now?

You don't surprise doctors. You make an appointment. They know you're coming.

[Chicklet]

Gasping fpr breath "I feel good" . Give up.

See everyone next week! Hope someone has some success.

[sainte-chapelle]

His heart is going to give out if he doesn’t lose some weight. Weight loss is 80 percent diet

We got 8 steps and 10 pounds in 120 minutes

[Hellga]

I have underestimated him.  Walking with a walker.  7 or 8 steps is better than zero.  But I don't think he will sustain his progress.  He is going to start eating again and end up back in bed in a year... which is sad, but I think he needs professional help to deal with his delusions.

He isn’t your friend Gary…he doesn’t care

[Auntie Anxiety]

Gary, the clock is ticking. 

[mk828]

12 steps!!! Wow! Go Gary!

[HorrrGoodnight]

He took 12 steps! Yeah he's ready to pop up on Dr. Now.

[sainte-chapelle]

We have had two really good stories to start….more of those please

[magemaud]

He’s in his own Twelve Step Program 

[HorrrGoodnight]

Well damn that was abrupt.

[Pepper Mostly]

Dear Lord, listen to him! "I took twelve steps today!" I'm just....what? A year of diet and PT and medical consultation and this is the result. I CANNOT with this guy.

[Hellga]

Yup.  I am here mostly for you guys.  Have a great night, and see you back next week.  Maybe we will have a snarkfest, finally. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Have a good night, everyone. Don’t forget to fill up on eggs, grits, pancakes, bacon and biscuits tomorrow for breakfast. And wash it down with some Coke. Back on Friday. Adios.

[babyhouseman]

Good night. Good chat. 

[ams1001]

So, two nice, cooperative, reasonably successful people, one seemingly-nice-but-maybe-not-so-much delusional agoraphobic, and then this. Wonder what's in store for next week?

[sainte-chapelle]

It was lovely to hang with you all but what a waste of an episode. See some of you Sunday or maybe even Friday

[ams1001]

Good night, everyone! I guess I should find something else to eat...

[Pepper Mostly]

Good night, Pounder pals! Have a good week, see some of you on Friday for fun with felons. Love you all!

[aliya]

Good night, folks. It's good to be back!

I don't know where I left off last time, but I was going to sell my house and move to be close to my grandchildren. I did that in May and have been playing Nana in frigid Dairyland. 

[EtheltoTillie]

Tuning in late here. What a sad mess. A meth addict for god’s sake. He never changed his diet one bit. In the first couple of scenes he was using his chest as his table for his giant plates of food. He clearly did not change after that but they never filmed his meals or just edited them out.

Well, he says 12 steps. The nurse said seven steps. 

Well, this is more like it. A second lying, delusional failure in two weeks. I can't believe we had two successes. 

See all my lovies on Friday, stay warm! Stay safe, and enjoy those cupcakes. But just vanilla cupcakes, mkay?!

[EtheltoTillie]

At one point when he was talking to Dr Now I could see a Burger King Soda behind him. The logo was unsuccessfully blocked out.

I wonder whether he actually can understand the diet, if it's not just procrastination.  He never graduated from high school, he isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer and remember than some 40% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate.  It won't surprise me if he is in fact unable to read Dr. Now's book in its entirety and understands only a small portion of what he had read...

Unlike those first two poundicipants this season who were so articulate and intelligent. They were successful.

Calling his mom "Mommy" was the first clue that he didn't have a clue

I noticed that too.  The production crew makes sure to let viewers know about stuff like that.    I'm sure it wasn't zero calorie either. And I bet there was a huge bag out of camera range.   

The only surprise I had was that he lost any weight at all. 

Supersized edition of this episode is on Saturday 7 to 9 central.  I'm definitely not watching it.

I have anxiety and travel like that isn't easy. I wonder if she's on meds.

I think she mentioned that she had been on them but stopped taking them.  She's also been missing her doctor appointments so can't get the prescriptions renewed.
