It’s his 4th experience with the show and he has a history of not losing weight. He did not go into this episode as a virgin

Are we sure about the virgin part? 😂

He doesn't want people to stare at him yet he'll be on a national TV show. Oh, okay 

B freakin S. There has never been a bigger attention whore (figuratively or literally) than this assclown.

Mr. Ivy isn't home yet, thankfully. He hates this show, partly because I made him watch the first Assanti episode. 

The husband is missing this one and he's not going to believe it when I tell him what happened. I might have to record the second showing... and then use up all my Candy Crush lives when he watches it.

[Suzywriter]

I want to take both of their rank asses to a self-service car wash and use the long-handled heavy cleaning foam brush to scour them like they're 747s, then give them a high pressure rinse. I'll be averting my eyes while I scrub.

My god, he’s still pulling his hair out!

He has serious mental issues.

[88Keys]

My husband actually watches with me now!  Like, he looks forward to it each week!  I've converted him.  🙂

TLC: It's not just a channel, it's birth control and an appetite suppressant.

I still have white chocolate Reeces peanut butter eggs. May just have to have one tonight.

I LOVE them !!! Enjoy !! 

Finished my stash last week......

[cmpbl]

Are they all going to live together? Oh my!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Justin looks like a girl with a beard.  Hey Justin.....go see a barber.  And stand closer to the razor.

[88Keys]

Wow, that was some thrilling, informative narration.  "My dad wants to make sure we pack everything we need.  After we pack, we will leave."  

[Wanda]

Figured out why the need the assanti brothers.........Rhode island. Those two x 4 episodes  = 8 Ohio residents

Hopefully he realizes it, and changes.

This will never happen.

Good evening, pounders. My eating habit today, in honor of installment four of The Assanti Brothers, has been a very late brunch consisting of breakfast tacos (soft corn tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, diced ham, jack cheese, guacamole, and salsa -- egg whites only for me because I'm watching cholesterol), a toasted blueberry muffin, and a caffe latte. I'm still stuffed.

I rewatched part three of the Assanti Saga a few days ago as prep work for tonight, but probably won't be able to watch part four until tomorrow, whenever it's available online for non-cable-subscribers. So I'll probably just read along with you guys tonight. Would like to know if it will show Steven's marriage to Stephanie and his relocation to Iowa last summer.

That's what 2x4s are for. Smacking from a distance. 

The proverbial ten-foot pole.

If we still lived on the base in ND, we could take them to the wash rack where they wash the B-52s.

*channels myself from two weeks ago* DRUG TEST! DRUG TEST! JER-RY! JER-RY! STEEEEEVE!

[mmecorday]

The dad is like every dad from every John Hughes movie.

[Concerned]

Dad complains about Steven doing drugs and the dad has a cigarette on his lips and a coffee in his hands,

It’s a slippery slope, though. Next it’s grapes. Two weeks later you’re face first in a bowl of sugar free jam. 

oh, noes.   We are having grapes tomorrow.  I was supposed to have some today at lunch, but....      Have never bought sugar free jam, but I do have marmalade and fig preserves to sabotage my eating habit.

[Honey]

Where's their dog?  And where's the Father's girlfriend?

[Wanda]

Admission only to pounders...I ordered chocolate filled marshmallows on amazon since they’re sold out in stores. But I swear, it’s for educational purposes, to use in marketing class 😇

[88Keys]

Huh.  Apparently Justin's post was deleted but it's been picked up by the media (if you consider Starscasm.com the media).

Shoot, shoot, shoot -- I got bored (you people aren't posting fast enough) and went to look at my email. I got a message asking me to do the opening prayer this Sunday. Darn. No skipping out now.  I wonder if anyone would notice if I came in in my pjs and a robe, said the prayer, and ran out? 😒

[ELFairy]

The combination of Steven and the father is making me kind of twitchy.

Big difference between smoking and coffee, and Stevens opioid addiction. 

[Wanda]

I’d feel badly for dad, but well, Steven and Justin. Nuff said

Edited May 23, 2019 by Wanda
Well isn’t we’ll

[ams1001]

The way his dad says "miles" makes me twitch slightly.

[cmpbl]

Dad needs to grow a pair and stop babying. them.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Trichotillomania, aka Hair Pulling Disease is under OCD in the DSM-V (I hope I got that right, it's the criteria for diagnosis of mental diseases and disorders), and is very hard to stop.    Some people stop for months at a time, but go back to it.  

I hope that Justin gets with the program, loses weight, and gets more of a life.   

[88Keys]

I love how they give the flashbacks a sepia tone, like they're from the 1880's or something.  🙂

I would have snapped if I were his dad. I would have just started screaming and beating those two until somebody in uniform took me away for good.

Steven Senior is my favorite member of the Assanti family. He's kinda fun.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Take off that stupid hat.  And maybe just put a paper bag over your head.

I was on the edge of my seat! 

And now here we are at the riveting "we've been on the road for 45 minutes--I have to stop and rest. All I want to do is get to the hotel and eat, and go to bed". Yes, I wrote it.

Minot?  If so, I've been thru there on the train. Wait, this seems vaguely familiar. Did we talk about this before?

[ams1001]

Was it really necessary to call him from the car to tell him you're not going to visit him?

[QuinnInND]

Steven is back to his old self again.

This show should give you lots of practice praying....or at least saying “oh dear God”. No offense meant

[mmecorday]

What do you bet Justin writes Daenerys Targaryen fanfiction in his spare time? And in the stories, she has a lover named Ser Jus Ten.

Yes and yes we did. Lol 

[Wanda]

Daddy dearest has had it

[Azubah]

I'd punch Dad too. Asshole.

[Pepper Mostly]

Well. Aren't they just a delight? 

[Twopper]

The only Assanti I can stand is Cupcake the cat.

[Concerned]

Dad seems psycho. Plenty of adult siblings don’t get along.

[ams1001]

Punching someone while they're driving is always a smart idea.

"I know they both really care about each other"? Really? Not getting that vibe.

[QuinnInND]

Justin punching his dad. Wow.
