S07.E18: Mercedes' Story LIVE CHAT

[DC Gal in VA]

"I gotta PEE!" Yet toilet paper is obviously OPTIONAL. Check ✔

[dreadfulLeigh]

Her cousin needs a fucking medal for helping her ass out. He doesn’t seem to have the full use of his arms. Man, someone give him her shower scene bonus check!

[Psycho Suzy]

I love that when Mercedes started saying she should just go home and die and started crying, her friend did not try to fix the problem. I've noticed many men instead of listening to you, want to tell you how to fix it. I love that he said you just go ahead and cry and I'll sit here with you.

[Kid]

Well, at least she does understand that she is eating herself to death!!  Many people on this show do not.

I have those. They help - to a point. Like, I don't need to spend the next 12 hours in the bathroom wanting to die but the husband and the cat still give me that Look and abandon me when the gas starts up. Though, honestly, it gets me the couch and the TV to myself so sometimes the Farts O' Doom are worth it. 

That’s where the beano comes in...extra pills than the recommended dose.

[cmpbl]

She is going to pee in the bed! I never want to spend another night in a hotel now.

I'm not good at guessing weights...but judged by the look at her (and depending on what mattress she's on 😉 ) I'll guess....792. But won't be surprised if she's above 800

Pee pads on a hotel bed

 I am never staying in a hotel again.

Hey, at least there WERE pee pads. Think of the ones without them...

So, like, as someone who is (somewhat) new to the lactose intolerance side of life, I usually get a little drool at the corner of the mouth when I see real dairy ice cream being consumed but after that? Not tonight. 

Yeah...rethinking that ice cream sandwich here...

[Friday]

Happy May 1, Pounders!

Having a glass of Velvet Moon Cab.  My eating habit will be homemake minestrone soup and Kalamata Green Olive Bread from Sprouts, and probably a bit more wine.

ETA:  I like May because it's my birthday munt.

So shes capable of walking... but needs a pee pad if she has to use the bathroom in the night. I feel bad asking this but is there some reason or is she just incredibly lazy?

Oh yeah, screaming in the hotel room. Great way to be strong for your kids.

As bad as it sounds, I'm not surprised. It seems like most of our obesees have arrested development and very little emotional control.

Hey, me too! But mine is 1 week from tomorrow. Sooooo stressful, I understand the need to snark.

Fist-bump 😊 Good luck to your kiddos!

8 days on the road? What?

I think they did at most 2 hours the first day.

[MsVixen]

This heifer is not worth our great snark......

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I was hoping for a broken toilet like Lumpy

I would be very sad about the lack of hunky firemen, but the preview showed a fire truck showing up (hopefully not for something tragic), and so there's hope.    Unless it's a preview for another segment. 

I can't believe they got in the van without help.   At 2 hours per travel day, this could take years to get to Houston.   It's 16 + hours to Houston from Cincinnati.      

Wait! They only drove for 2 hours!? I’ve been only paying half attention but when she said 8 days, I thought they were coming from fucking Maine or something.

Flesh eating bacteria..that's a first

I think Schenee had it as well.

[Wanda]

The hospitality industry needs to have a ‘chat” with the producers of this show

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

I think she said that because they only drove for 2 hours the first day.  At least she can do maths.

Was the baby daddy (Terry?) a feeder who bolted for fear she would lose weight?

[ams1001]

So sleep in the fucking car, then. It's not like you're driving.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Best Poundicipant in a hotel room was Nicole the Juggalo.....ya bunch of bastards....

[88Keys]

What up, Pounders?!  Today sucked!  The past week has not been great!  All I want tonight is to snark with you fine folks!

My eating habit is Ellie Krieger's Tuscan Soup and a grilled cheese.  

[fonfereksglen]

Love her, but Diane Keaton needs to retire.

Wine, that's what I need.  Time to hit the box wine in the fridge.

I always hate when my leaders in stellaris get arrested development. I normally just immidiately kill them off.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I'm proud of myself.....I sat in a car all day while someone else drove.  Meanwhile I finished up the K1s for my side consulting job today.

[hoosiermom]

I already ate my ice cream bar before I got any more grossed out. But, if I can get it down after this, I may eat another.

[DropTheSoap]

I’m calling 703. 

My eating habit tonight was a pork chop and salad at a restaurant. I’m staying in a hotel tonight, and planning on hitting the gym tonight; but not until I digest a bit. 

[88Keys]

Can we stop with the shots of her crotch, please?!

[Kiss mah grits]

Well at least we haven't seen multiple stops to fill her pie hole

[Concerned]

Don’t the kids have school? They are wearing winter clothes so it isn’t summer vacation. This whole experience and listening to mom wish she could die must be traumatizing.

[Gbb]

Man, her cousin is a saint!

[MsVixen]

Dramatic Much?

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. 

[sempervivum]

At this rate, she'll barely get weighed before the show ends.

I'm calling it now- she may lose some weight while they keep her in the hospital for something or other, but she's not going to be a success story.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

You did good.....you got out of a car.  Next up;...putting on your own shoes.  

[poeticlicensed]

In and out of the van. Wouldn't it be easier just drive straight thru?

[Psycho Suzy]

This guy is so so so nice. I want to be his friend.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Oh sweet baby Santa Christ.  They have to stop again for the night!?!

[88Keys]

I'll go with 712 for the weight.

[String Theory]

I'm south of Cleveland - Cincinnati is about 3 hours from here - can't imagine why she thinks its going to take her eight days to get to Houston -  we did it in about 17 hours.......oh, never mind, we didn't stop or whine.  We aren't "supersized" - so maybe it will take eight days for her.   

Still looks like she might throw a clot before she gets to the Land of Now........................

[cmpbl]

I feel bad for her cousin and her children

[Donut Bear]

Dr. Now’s exam room is going to be like a bus waiting room if they all go in.  No reason on earth for the cousin to go in but I bet he does.

[Splashes]

This lady whines and cries more than I did moving around after I broke my bloody back.

[Stiggs]

I feel like if not anything else, the pee pads would be enough of a wake up call to put down the 100 pounds of breakfast. The people on this show both fascinate me and make me sad. And angry. And confused. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

That van’s oh shit handles are shitting themselves every time she reaches for them. 

[sagittarius sue]

I really don't see her completing the trip in that van.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Do you want to eat.  Does a bear crap in the woods.  Do I want to quit Accounting and play in Iron Maiden.....
