S06.E10: Benji & David's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Fearing that he'll suffer the same fate as older brother David, who is now 700 pounds and unable to work, Benji hopes to  be able to support both himself and his brother on their life-or-death weight loss journey.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing and again during the West Coast showing. 

Because they're brothers, (non-)identical brothers in every way.  They walk alike and talk alike and I'll bet they even eat alike - when brothers are two of a kind!  

[PrincessPurrsALot]

As always: Let's avoid discussing how money is being snatched from the public's wallet for the participants unless it’s specifically revealed on the show. Anything else is pure speculation not to mention also a slippery slope toward talking politics. 

[Armchair Critic]

Brothers? Does this mean we will get double the bathing scenes? EEK!

[hoosiermom]

I wonder if they will be anything like the other brothers?

[dreadfulLeigh]

Howdy, y’all! Double the fun tonight!

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everyone!!

[aliya]

[dreadfulLeigh]

[Azubah]

Oh god, skin lesions.

[zoemom]

What is on his stomach?

[dreadfulLeigh]

Omg his boobs are going to suffocate him. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Hey y’all! I hope these are the anti-Assantis. 

[Armchair Critic]

You know you have watched too much of this show when you think to yourself "at least he is not 700 pounds" when the guy is 500 pounds!

Maybe they shower together. Saves water. 

[IOU Payne]

Hah y'all doin'?    My eating habit tonight is tea with almond milk and a bowl of puffed wheat instead of popcorn.  

 

Shower scene.  With skin ulcers.  Huzzah, huzzah.  Fuck a duck, he has a girlfriend?  Maybe she suggested Suffer for the tat.

I broke down and bought a bag of jelly beans. Easter candy is my weakness and should NOT be part of my eating habit

[LordOfLotion]

Three cheers for two pairs of underwear!

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m feeling voyeuristic, and not in a good way. This one’s gonna be rough. 

[QuinnInND]

Hi Pounders!! Ack! Skin lesions!! Barf! My eating habit tonight is M&Ms. I'm putting them back.

Yep, let's hope that's not foreshadowing.

Hey Benji only has lymphedema on ONE side- and he sounds proud of that.

[Guest]

"I'm the more mobile one." 

[IOU Payne]

Benji's a good C-cup, maybe a D.  And he's married with kids.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hmmm, there’s the “I need...” when ordering fast food. 

[poeticlicensed]

Girl scout thin mints here! 

 

5 breakfast sandwiches ??

Cadbury eggs are my weakness! 

[Armchair Critic]

I had a Lean Cuisine, this show helps motivate me, those lymphodemas scare me straight!

[Samurai X]

Ooo, two shower scenes.

[zoemom]

Benji - ever heard the saying "the pot calling the kettle black"?

[trashtvaddict]

What on earth is a Breakfast Jack? Never mind five of  them..

[calpurnia99]

Like youre not killing yourself too AND KILLING HIM?

[ChickenLatte99]

What a time to be alive....when you weigh 500lbs vs. 700lbs and you are the "more mobile" one.

Reminds me of me and my twin sister but of course our arguments are about which twin is smarter not more mobile smh

[LordOfLotion]

The older one is not afraid for the younger one. Older brother is afraid younger brother will no longer be able to bring him FOOD.

[Miracle Maxie]

Benji, save yourself. Your bro already seems lost.
