S07.E18: Mercedes' Story LIVE CHAT

[novhappy]

Wow I hope we don’t have to go along for all of this ride to Houston. She’s tedious. 

[88Keys]

"I need what I need.  I don't have a choice."

I'm not predicting success.

I just checked - it's 16 hrs from Cincin to Houston - and they're going to take 8 days to do it??

Maybe they’re stopping on the way to pick up Ohio nicole and her juggafamily.

No food is making it worse

Idiot

[Guest]

OMG the redundancies! 

"I'm in so much pain."

"My body is gonna give out."

"[something something] RIGHT NOW"

"My body can't take it." 

I don't even know why I watch this show with the sound on—I can pretty much guess what these folks say on my own.

[Brooklynista]

Yep, feed the kids the KFC too. Nothing  like spreading the hypertension through the family. Geesh.

I want to send this little girl to a spa. She needs a vacation at 11yrs old.

I am guessing 756.  I never can tell how tall  these people are.  

My eating habit tonight was pork loin, some mint jelly (not sugar free) instead of the usual pepper jelly, sweet potatoes with sugar, butter and cinnamon,  and steamed broccoli with butter.  Dessert was 3 mint chocolate milano cookies.

Have set DVR to record this plus The Amazing Race.

Ooh, I totally forgot I got mint Milanos on Sunday!

Will be good and not eat them tonight.

I like her cousin. He's upbeat and has a good attitude.

[DC Gal in VA]

As for her weight, I'm guessing 813; Cincinnati's area code, 513 plus 300 pounds.

[cmpbl]

She's just wore out from all that sitting and paying down. smh

[SunnyBeBe]

Thank goodness for the fried chicken and Cole slaw or she wouldn't have made it there!

[AnnaBaptist]

Kassandra is back!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

GRUMPY NURSE IS BACK!!!!  ALL IS WELL!!!!

[MrsClaus]

762

[Kiss mah grits]

752 for weigh in

[MsVixen]

Have we ever heard that some of these people have tried to diet on their own?

[mmecorday]

I'm thinking she's got to be close to 800.

[Wanda]

Get my gasoline soaked drawers out, but whenever she backs up into the chair, I just imagine the cousin is picturing his looming crushing doom

[poeticlicensed]

What does she think that Dr Now is going to to her immediately that will give her relief?

Dr Now is her last hope! Doing ding ding we have a winner 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

4 fucking days to make a 16 hour car trip.  Good grief.  I would have been tempted to smother her on night 2.  I’m not saying I would have done it, just that I would have been tempted...

Her cousin is a goddamn prince. For real. He has not lost patience one time. I want to call him the next time I'm having a crisis. He's so calm and cheerful. 

I know! He’s so calming and supportive. A goddamned prince for sure. 

[Viqutorious]

707. I never guess close.

[DEG9]

[Suzywriter]

skidding in from getting my car serviced! I had the channel on my phone all of the way home so that I could hear the voice over!

Hi! My eating habit is sausage and peppers and Vitamin Water Zero.

[dreadfulLeigh]

This is my last hope. Bingo!

You are close to my guess. I am curious as to whether she looks so large due to big bones. Lol

The family that needs quadruple heart bypasses together stays together.

What’s that? Only Dr Now can save their lives by telling them to stop eating. And if he turns them down he has signed their death warrants. Totally his fault, not theirs.

Let’s see what she tells Dr. Now her eating habit is. Truth or naw?

Peeing in the bed is not "using the bathroom." It is literally, peeing in the bed.

And her kids sleep in the bed WITH HER and her pee pads!!!!

[Viqutorious]

How many is this from Ohio now?

[Twopper]

adding piercings and tattoos to my Bingo card.   I cannot look at her mouth.

Cousin Mercedes is my favorite person EVER on this show and quite frankly as of now one of my favorite people on "reality TV" these days. He's kind, good-natured and patient (and a good-looking guy to boot). I wondered if I was imagining some mild issues with his arms (though he still gets a lot done) ... can't help but think he'd make a wonderful caregiver and wonder if perhaps he doesn't have a full-time job but might be on some sort of disability, since he's able to come take care of his cousin on short notice. 

Also, her kids seem kind and caring as well. 

Also-also, per what someone mentioned about the stilted narration, I also noticed that with Cilla ... I don't recall the show being QUITE as annoyingly scripted. 

I'm rooting for Mercedes but not optimistic ... still, maybe having loving and supportive family in her cousin and kids might be the kicker here. Fingers crossed.

Every time I see the girl on the dating commercial say she wants someone smart I break into my Fredo routine.  I'm smart.....I'm not dumb you know.....I can handle things.....and I want respect....

That is almost as creepy as the guy in that Amazon bed commercial.

I would find the show more palatable if they would play "It's A Family Affair "by Sly and the Family Stone as a soundtrack for this group.......

When she backs up, I expect to hear a ‘beep-beep-beep’ sound. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

She’s gotta be pushing 800. I’ll say 774lbs.

She seems to be more aware of her situation than other patients on the show, but who knows if she'll be honest.

A few weeks ago I traveled 12 hrs and got treatment in one day and was back home at bedtime. Of course nausea negates any need to stop for food.

Official: 773

773!? 😲

[Concerned]

I’m thinking of the Janis Joplin song, oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

[poeticlicensed]

That Poshmark commercial is stupid. Maybe if you hadn't bought so much designer crap you could take two vacations 

[sagittarius sue]

The promo was correct, 773.
