Quote

A man who weighs 790 pounds is bedridden, unable to stand and can barely move his legs.

[Armchair Critic]

This episode is the guy with the scary looking legs. He may also be the one who falls off the golf cart (crosses fingers).

Ladies and gentlemen - Let's get ready to rumbllllllllleeeeeeee.......... 

[CouchTater]

Oh my Lord, his poor legs.

[55Unicorns]

Can you BELIEVE those legs?!?

[CouchTater]

No!  I don't understand what's going on with those legs!!

[sandrajane]

I've been recently obsessed with this show.  But I don't think I can watch this one.  I've already changed the channel.  That was too much to see.

Wet wipes and a catheter. This is horrible. He said he has cellulitis? No idea what that is. Dr. Internet says it's a bacterial infection of the skin

Hoisting him up to clean him when he craps the bed. Once again I will say "how do these people have a boyfriend/girlfriend?".

[55Unicorns]

And the mother pulled her out of school to take care of him?!?

[Pers]

Free Bailey! Poor girl.

[ChickenLatte99]

Looking at this...it's hard for me to rationalize my being single?!@&?

[55Unicorns]

Wait a minute...."can't be a mother and a father, both"....women do it every day!

[Pers]

This guy's life is like a bad country music song. "Mom died, house burned down, dog ate my homework and ran away."

[55Unicorns]

Obviously, was looking for a "mama" ....

[CouchTater]

In the commercials I assumed she was his mother.

Oy.

[55Unicorns]

God Almighty....those poor kids...

[Kid]

Oh my god.  12 minutes in.  What a mess this family is. His daughter doesn't stand a chance. They pull her out of school to take care of that piece of work.

And the girlfriend's job is to keep him fed all day and what goes in his mouth comes out the other end and then she's got to clean that up!  

And the question always is, where does the money come from for all that food, for the roof over their head,  and for the car that they're driving.  

This season's stories are hard to take.

Bed Bound and Beyond!

[CouchTater]

Damn.  I'm waiting on a pizza delivery.  Looking at this guy, I'd call and cancel if it wasn't too late.

[poeticlicensed]

I'm sorry, he can't get up and they are enabling his eating. Don't feed him! He needs to be hospitalized and living in a controlled environment

[55Unicorns]

So, did "mama-girlfriend" ever get divorced?

[spacefly]

Darn it, I had plans for biscuits and gravy with eggs for my husbands day off tomorrow. Not sure now.

[55Unicorns]

SH*T...let him yell and get mad...is he going to jump up and kill them?!?

[ChickenLatte99]

That breakfast looks so unappetizing...gross.

Seriously. I don't understand these enablers. Just leave, they can't chase you down the street!

[Armchair Critic]

Dr. Now has his work cut out for him. If this guy loses a substantial amount of weight, changes his eating habits, and will be able to steadily walk around it will be miraculous.

[55Unicorns]

Oh boy...perfect storm...abused woman and demanding bedbound baby.

[poeticlicensed]

He has become infantalized. Take the paper off the burger. Bring me my breakfast. Clean up my mess.

And the  daughter actually telling the mom "he doesn't need that much" and mom just ignores it. Count me in on Team #saveBailey! That poor girl! And she's in need of losing a few pounds herself. But then look at what she's surrounded by!! OMG - train wreck to end all train wrecks. 

[MrsClaus]

I'm not sure I can stick with the whole 2 hours.  I'm at a loss for words right now.

IKR??!?!!? They almost always make that excuse (the enablers) but seriously - the guy can't even SIT UP!!! He'd probably throw his own pooh but I doubt he can reach under himself to get to it. 

[55Unicorns]

I'm betting she was so beaten down by her husband, she just shuts up and takes it...

[Hana Chan]

I am definitely going to hell... because when I look at him, all I can think about is Jabba the Hutt. Lording over the women in his house who have to provide him with what he wants, otherwise he gets angry. Shitting his bed. My sympathy for this man is at absolute zero because he has done absolutely nothing to try to help himself. His life was rough, but not an absolute horror, and all we've seen him do is shove food down his gullet as fast as he could swallow it down without choking.

This poor woman... she's still being abused. And she unfortunately is letting her daughter be abused. I'd pack up the whole house and leave the oversized infant to stew in his own mess.

[BXD]

I'm seriously questioning the paternity of his two kids! Wasn't she still with her ex husband the whole time? Super weird situation.

You got that right!  Is she STILL married?  I mean, wth...

[Hana Chan]

How the hell are they going to get this lox from Kentucky to Houston for treatment? He'd never survive the trip.

"I know I gained some weight." Ya think?

[Azubah]

"Lisa, my girlfriend". So they're not married.

[poeticlicensed]

Dr. Now Skypes! 

I don't see how he can be transported to Houston

Seriously! Not only can he not jump up and chase you if he gets pissed, he's obviously too delicate to unwrap his humongous fast food burgers so I wouldn't worry about him throwing anything at anyone.

BTW, is FOUR the M600PL record for how many people it takes to bathe one super sized person?

Should have done that with a few of them...

[Armchair Critic]

I am cringing just thinking of the whining we are going to hear from this manbaby.

[Pers]

That filthy aquarium is driving me nuts.

[Hana Chan]

1,200 calories a day? That's going to go over well.

"I don't know how I'm going to do any of this." How about shutting your pie hole?

[Azubah]

In fairness, the insurance company is being evil denying the transport.

[Maggienolia]

OMG!!! That SKIRT! She can't even close her knees - DON'T wear a skirt that short!!! DAMN WOMAN!!!

EWWW....I just noticed that....

[Schippmom]

How much are they spending on food?   And asking for donations?

[Armchair Critic]

Blech is Lisa not wearing underwear? They blurred her crotch.

[BXD]

Of all the causes to donate to, this one would not exactly be my first choice...

[poeticlicensed]

GoFundMe? Seriously? The savings on food alone should net lots of money.
