Another piece of the puzzle.

Holy cow. It looks like he needs a full set of veneers.

DENTURES

Why did they show us this? Ahhh!

That was as bad or worse than the shower scene. It's like there isn't ONE, good, in-tact tooth in his head!!!

He needs false teeth period. 

[BuddhaBelly]

But you can buy them. They sell salad mix and rotisserie chicken in most grocery stores.

[trashtvaddict]

That is a perfectly serviceable kitchen! 

[88Keys]

Why can't Benji and Amanda cook healthy meals at the hotel?  I see a stove burner there.  And fresh salads don't require any cooking.

[WhitneyWhit]

"We can't cook healthy meals" damn, maybe someone, someday, will invent something like rotisserie chickens, bagged salad, and frozen vegetables that can be cooked in a microwave.

[poeticlicensed]

These people need to stop with the whole fast food is my only option. I see a fridge, stove and microwave.

He didn't go to pageants......remember??? The pageant kids had "good" teeth or flippers!

[aliya]

So he's got teeth problems and let's it go until it's unbearable. No.  But then he says he's never been to the dentist. Dang.

OMGoodness - that big hole in his tooth! Jeez Louise.   When I was a kid, a friend's father was a dentist who taught at one of the local dental schools. He loved showing the kids his medical slides. All kinds of stuff can go on in your mouth w/o proper dental care. I don't see this stuff as gross now, I just think how much discomfort and expense it's going to be to fix all of that. 

[ChickenLatte99]

All Benji needs is a cheap electric hot plate...they already have a microwave and fridge.

Ahhh yep. Funny how your teeth will decay and give you problems when you don't EVER go to a dentist. 

And eat like shit, too! All of those milkshakes and sodas did him no favors!

[Miss Chevious]

Fast food is not the answer. Grocery stores were operating after the hurricane. Produce department anyone?

[QuinnInND]

Wasn't there a little two burner flat stove next to the refrigerator in Benjis hotel?

That hotel room is just a little smaller than my apartment!  I made Thanksgiving Dinner for six.

Walking IS exercise.

Looks like it. It might be less convenient than a full stove, but YOU CAN COOK!

[Caoimhe]

I think it’s reverting to how you were accustomed to coping with stress - food makes you feel better, therefore you eat.  The crappier the better in terms of dopamine!

Perdue (sp?) makes some delish pre-cooked grilled and roasted chicken "strips" (not like the kind you fried but thin cut strips like you'd put in salad or fajitas) that could be used with some veggies or something. There are always options that don't involve full-on cooking.

Yep. Years of coating your mouth in sugar and acid and little/poor brushing.

[DC Gal in VA]

I am truly sorry about Benji and his family losing their home and possessions but why is the only alternative fast food meaning the most fattening, calorie-laden part of the menu? There are grocery stores and farmers markets as well as countertop appliances--slow cookers, electric grills, convection ovens, etc.--that can mimic a kitchen set up in the short run.

Well, next week's show sure looks depressing. 

[CalpurniaF]

Ugh.  Those sister wives are so unattractive and their husband is a creepazoid.

[zoemom]

Next Wednesday looks like its going to be ugly........

[Armchair Critic]

That mother looks like a dude

I want to chop that mop off his head.

[poeticlicensed]

I'm sorry, I blame mom for david never seeing a dentist 

[MsVixen]

Mary has gained weight.  Her face was too fat for the telephone screen.  And that was David with the bad teeth?

[Standard Staples]

Really glad he got the teeth taken care of. It's just one piece of the overall "body image improvement" puzzle. David really seems to be doing tremendously well.

[Barb23]

Why does mom have to go to every appt?

[hoosiermom]

Was that the same girlfriend?

[trashtvaddict]

WOW, nice teeth!

[Armchair Critic]

They faked us out... he lost.

When this show and Witless Weigh More are done I won't have to see any more creepy multi-spouse show promos or Duggars for the rest of the year.

[Standard Staples]

These brothers have collectively LOST an Assanti!

[Armchair Critic]

Benji's face has really slimmed down. Good ending for both is nice to see.

She is enormous. I guess she's learned nothing from her boyfriend's plight.

[zoemom]

Way to go Benji (shocked)

Way to go David (not so shocked)

[poeticlicensed]

Benji looks so thin 

[ams1001]

Interesting that David's girlfriend never goes to the appointments, but Benji's wife is at every one.

[Azubah]

Benji's unrecognizable.

[WhitneyWhit]

They're not bad looking guys. Glad to see them so well and that Benji ended his cruise down the river of denial.

[Armchair Critic]

Fishing, that is awesome they can do that together now!

[DC Gal in VA]

Look out now, those two are gettin'  kinda cute! Good for them both.

[Threnners]

As much as the Assanti's disgusted me, these guys give me back the faith in the show.

[Trillium]

Benji probably weighs less than his wife. And David is probably close to weighing the same has his girlfriend soon. Good for them! 

[poeticlicensed]

Yay pool house is back!!

[elly1517]

These two did great. Nice episode.

[Guest]

Good for these two! 

[BuddhaBelly]

She did get bigger!
