S06.E17: One Ton Family: Part 1 LIVE CHAT

[DC Gal in VA]

Stop off at a motel!!!? It's a four hour drive! Diva please!

[spacefly]

1/2 way today and 1/2 way tomorrow...its a f'n 3 hour trip!

[QuinnInND]

It's not that far from Lafayette to Houston. We lived in Bossier City and drove to Houston frequently to see my in laws. 

[trashtvaddict]

Dear god,, I am a bit behind. What is even on those plates? Chicken fingers and retried beans? No, I am not going to correct that...

Changed my mind..

[CringeWatcher]

Guys, they are going to HOUSTON! Who saw that coming??? (Tee hee)

[Gaffa]

I like how the subtitles are correcting their grammar

[Brooklynista]

This ominous music does not give me good feelings about the Part 2.

[Donut Bear]

Won't they break the beds?

[Shnoopy]

High load detour road sign.  Hahaha!

[zoemom]

I feel a pulmonary embolism coming on.  Are her legs really numb or does she just want to stop for fast food.  Oh no, they're stopping in a hotel.  Hope the bed will be able to hold them and they won't fall over.

Where do the live?

Lafayette, La.

[MsVixen]

I don't blame Clarence for not wanting to travel.  Jobs are not at a premium in Louisiana.  I wouldn't have been able to move if someone in my family was in Dr. Now's program.

She can't even ride for one and a half hour. Are you kidding me? First time commenter here. Hi everyone

Speaking of embarrassment, did they show any bathing scenes? I have been eating dinner in between snarking here so may have missed it.

Nah, just some naked "bending over with the ass blurred out" scenes followed by uncomfortable scene of panties that couldn't be pulled up over the knees.

[Shnoopy]

The 911. Not just 911 THE 911.

I’m thinking they don’t all make it to Houston. This is kinda unnerving. 

[Smoothcoat]

Who thinks Dr Now will admit them to the hospital??

[QuinnInND]

Once again, I'm impressed with the shocks and suspension on these vehicles.

she's pushing herself to hard? she's sitting on her damn ass in a damn car!

I bet if they were going for pizza and ice cream she wouldn't have as much problem

[CouchTater]

I can't even snark tonight y'all.  These people are not thoroughly unlikeable.  And I feel really bad for the brother being saddled with those sisters, but I understand.

Roshonda should have ridden in the back seat, or maybe even the rear hatch area , live we've seen others do.

Hi and welcome! 

I bet if she had a plate of chicken or something to eat, she'd be happy to sit there. 

[hoosiermom]

I don't even know what to say about this crew. Off the charts in my book. A 4 hour road trip took 2 days? Just wow.

Hi!!! Welcome!

[aliya]

I had to leave the room when they first headed out. I saw them leave the hotel and she said it was as much time to the doctor as going back - and then they posted "Ninety minutes later."  What - all that complaining and she was only in the car for 90 minutes???  Jeez.  I can't image doing yourself so much damage that you can't sit in a car for 90 minutes.

[Shnoopy]

Oh it's all over if we can't get help. I'm so sick of hearing that. You gotta lose a shit ton of weight before Dr Now will touch you.  It's just beginning hon

[leFay]

Preview of the rest of the show:
1) this is hard
2) I have stress
3) I'm only cheating a little
4) Dr. Now doesn't understand
5) I can do this my way

[parrotlover]

I am sad there wasn’t a fast food stop. They went a whole two hours without eating?

Unless they are hospitalized and closely watched I am skeptical that any of them will lose weight.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets embarrassed on behalf of people on TV. (Even fictional characters, sometimes.)

screwed up ma' quotes

[zoemom]

Scared.....glad I'm not drinking every time I'm hearing that tonight.  Guess because there's three of them the "scared" are in triplicate.  They're not too scared to stop eating or maybe that's what they're scared of not being able to eat.   They're going to freak when Dr. Now gives them the 1200 calorie meal plan!

Rememer Erica? who wanted her family to drop everything and stay with her in Houston?  She was the one with the angry sister.  Amazing the demands made by these people.

I just joined and my eating habit is low carb chili with guacamole and sour cream.

[aliya]

Well, I got the phone alert from my uni. And there's the hail... Can a funnel cloud be far behind?

TV's still on, though, thank goodness.

Fear of not having their drug of choice and having to deal with life without it is the fear addicts have, so yeah... plus, they still have to eat

I really wonder, what is it about the car ride that is so hard on these folks who rarely move anyway?  Is it because they're sitting instead of lying down, so maybe their bodies don't like that upright angles?

That's what I was thinking too about her riding in the front passenger seat; just sit in the back. Either that or just tie her histrionic, drama queen ass to the top of the vehicle.

I'll see myself out................

It's 4 hours from here to Chicago. Not only do people do it all the time, but they do a round trip in 1 day if they have to.

Be safe! Hope it passes by you! 

[MsVixen]

Hellbound here, but we haven't heard the usual molestation stories yet, and we're almost an hour into the show.

[Suzywriter]

Oh, and Roshonda is a big whiny baby, Brandie will not be performing anywhere, and Clarence has been driven nuts.

[trashtvaddict]

Wow.. she’s going to choke gargling and crying like that. But she has amazing hair..

[cmpbl]

So this 3 hour drive to see a Dr. will take 4 days. I can't even.....

Apparently there was no molestation. Amazing.
