S07:E06 Lacey's Story LIVE CHAT

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Was that one number seven meal or seven number ones?

[dreadfulLeigh]

It was sweet how excited she was to see planes and fly. 

[Suzywriter]

That tiny purse.

Is this the one who falls out of the van?

Yes. Apparently 

[Armchair Critic]

And that's where the falling scene in the opening comes from. YIKES

Maybe you should have arranged to have a wheelchair ahead of time?

She may have tried but whoever took the request didn't understand how big she was. Many airlines (not all) subcontract airport wheelchair services and the quality of service can be great - or awful.

[ShortyMac]

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down...

[Guest]

SAY IT!! SAY IT, LACEY!!!

"OW MY LEG!"

[cmpbl]

Oh dang that was bad

[Hellga]

Here is drama.  She fell out of the car.  I get it you are in pain, but is a tantrum really necessary? 

[poeticlicensed]

Holy crap that was scary

[Wanda]

She got through everything great but crashed out of the taxi? She did better when hungry. And yes, our first “ow my leg”

[dreadfulLeigh]

So far, I kinda like her, if only for how nice and polite she was to people at the airport and her excitement at flying for the first time. 

[Miss Chevious]

Bay City Roller! She rolled right out of that cab! Is there a GIF of that somewhere?

[Brooklynista]

Wow! I saw her on the ground and very quickly she looked exactly like Whitney Thore.

Foreshadowing?

Guy at the airport for the win. He was lovely. 

And easy on the eyes.  

I honestly don't like seeing them fall down.  (Well, except for Steven Assanti because he deserves it).  That has to hurt so bad when you're that big.

[Erinw522]

Oh man that was painful to watch 😳 she busted her ass BAD

[Wanda]

Am I the on;y one with that niggling voice saying you’re a bad person snarking at this girl?..........yes, cool. I can live with that. Between 8-10 on Wednesday’s I’m earning my points for the bad place.

RIght?  No "I'm so scared, I'm so anxious, I don't know if I can do this."  Her excitement and optimism were lovely.

LOL...I was waiting for someone to make that joke.

[Dianaofthehunt]

OMG, she actually rolly-pollied when she fell out of the van! I laughed! Some weeble-wobble action, there.

Have we seen someone ask a taxi driver to go through a drive thru before?

No.  No, we haven't.   That's a first.  Wonder what else lies in store for us tonight?

Just what I was thinking, sister! Here, have a donut. 

[MsVixen]

Did she get her foot caught because she didn't lift it high enough?

[Julyolo]

Thar she goes! Get the gaffe lads!

I have that voice too. I like to shut it up with cookies.

Poooouuuunnndddeeerrrrs!!! I'm late and trying to play catch up. Eating habit is dill pickle chips and chicken strips because I'm eating my feelings tonight. This week is only 3 days in and feels like I've lived through Wednesday about 7 times.

 

Oh boy. I have thoughts tonight. Haven't organized them quite yet but this looks like it's going to be a helluva ride. You can just feel that the dynamic between Lacey and her mother is going to create some serious sparks. I'mma fasten my seatbelt and grab the virtual "oh shit" bar and hold on...

Hey cool!   Mrs Ropers caftan.  I'm actually binge watching Three's Company the past few days...(after this show, of course)

[Donut Bear]

Do you think these 600 pounders on the show are reading this forum right this minute?

Lacey is mobile, wears shoes, and doesn't use double negatives. She's ahead of the game (by this shows standards.)

Maybe she and Justin should get together. Heh.

Wow this is crazy.  And look at those arms!    Hardly smiling in a single photo from childhood, and who takes pictures of a kid eating anyway?

Probably there wasn't a moment when she wasn't eating.

Remember, they put themselves out there.

[poeticlicensed]

I am worried that her addiction to food is going to make it really tough to stay on the diet

I confess, I did too. Line for the gasoline soaked drawers forms on the left.

I haven't.   I would have called from the cab for food to be delivered to the hotel so it would be there soon after I check in... 

[Miss Chevious]

She was in a hurry to check in and order room service. It’s hard to watch where you going when all you think of is your next meal. She’s still famished from the airplane ride, y’all!

[Minivanessa]

I'm actually sorry to see her take that fall. Ouch.

Commercials. I'd like to toss a glass of gasoline and a lighted match - or twelve- at the Progressive Insurance box. 

[QuinnInND]

How many people is it going to take to get her upright again?

 It used to be her luggage but she's been snacking.

[chickenella]

Just now, Hellga said:

I don't know if the world's strongest man could carry her nearly 700 pound ass all the way across an airport!

No, but if it were me, I'm not 700 pounds. Overweight,  but not over 250. I feel svelte watching this show. 

But I often joke with the guys at work, when it's icy out I ask if one of them will carry me to the car,  lol.

I'm gonna cut her some slack here. She just got off of a plane, they're in a cab to the hotel, they need something to eat, and she probably is tired and doesn't want to go (or can't go) back out again to find food in a strange place.

[Wanda]

That horn on dr pimple popper has been driving me nuts all week.i would have ripped it out of my head long before it got to that size

God,I hope not!

[Erinw522]

For the love of god please stop showing me the lady with the horn/overgrown fingernail on top of her head. 🙄🤮

DAMN YOU DR PIMPLE POPPER!!!!!!!!

[poeticlicensed]

I am nauseous watching the women with the fingernail growing out of her head. 

[Donut Bear]

Help I’ve fallen and can’t get up

[Wanda]

You’ve fallen and are too big to get yourself up but you’re only concerned to get in your room and eat. Sweetie, therapy please.

[Guest]

Good for her for getting up on her own!

[poeticlicensed]

She looks huge trying to get up. 

[Minivanessa]

Wow, she hauled herself up to her feet. Mad props to her for that.

[88Keys]

I'm sensing Mom is a big part of the problem here....
