Dr. Gnome says it looks like JT only lost 20-30 pounds in those two months he was home. Dr. Gnome gives JT the speech about how this could kill him, and they need to be aggressive getting the weight off so the lymphedema can be removed surgically. So I guess that means Jessica is on her own for a place to stay in the brand new city. They park JT in a private suite, but there's a chair and couch in there, so maybe Jessica can sleep there. (Ad with "Everybody Got Their Something" by Nikka Costa in the background. Love that song.)

"We" are trying to find a place to stay - meaning Jessica is. She doesn't want to stay in Houston with him and wants to go home. Dr. Gnome says it wouldn't be a good idea for JT to make the trip back to OK. He complains about the hospital food - duh, there aren't many people who like it, especially for restricted diets. Well, surprise, they're arguing about it all, and he's being a shit. Jessica leaves. Aha, the first whine about how none of this "is fair"! You know what isn't fair? Hardworking people taking care of you via your living on the dole because you ate your way to 900 pounds. His cousin shows up in Houston, and is going to stay to help JT out because Jessica left.

In two months on his own, he lost 8 pounds. In the hospital a month, restricteddiet, he lost 126 pounds. This is my shocked face.

Dr. Gnome wants him to go to the rehab center and work on things there, to get him under 600 pounds. The dude is wearing the same clothes he wore when he got there. No tarp sized hospital gowns?

Oh look, a bike rack and a biking trail there in Houston. Someone should tell Big Al, since she wants to ride a bike again. These people annoy me with their ungrateful whining about everything. This is all being given to you, for free. Stop being assholes. Ol' JT isn't making good progress in rehab, and is ordering food in. He's been there for two months and hasn't seemed to lose any weight. Time for a weighin. He's only lost 10 pounds. Now he's arguing with Dr. Gnome that he has so lost weight. Dr. Gnome isn't buying his bullshit, and JT is being a sarcastic asshole to him.

Only 35 minutes to go. Will JT get his shit together? I dunno, he is awfully defensive, and has a defensive posture (arms crossed against his chest). Dr. Gnome says JT should be able to lose 100 pounds in a month if he sticks to the diet, but his goal is only 80 pounds and he should be able to do that. Dr. Gnome is ever the optimist.

JT acts like he's a prisoner. "I guess I'm not getting out of here any time soon." You could, you know, leave. It's voluntary, dude. But he called his cousin for some support, and the cousin found him (potentially) a place to live, and is keeping him some company in the rehab center. JT claims he's sticking to the meals at the rehab place even though they suck. Yeah, we get it, man. Hospital food isn't the French Laundry.

The number of reality shows that exist (not just here on TLC) is staggering to me.

Time to leave the rehab center. JT met the 80 pound weight loss goal by losing 77 pounds. His cousin was down for a month, helping out JT. Do none of these people have jobs? (Rhetorical question.) Next goal is to lose 75 pounds over the next two months, on his own.

25 minutes to go. JT checks in to the halfway house his cousin found. Question for pondering: these people have all the time in the world, but I've yet to see any of them do something like pick up a book. JT says (again) he's sticking to the diet.His lower left laaaayyyg looks bruised, but maybe that's just where the lymphedema bangs against his laaayyyg.

20 minutes to go. Weigh in time! Did JT meet Dr Gnome's requirement? Damn, that lymphedema is enormous. Commercial break, of course.

15 minutes to go. Magic 8 Ball Scale says: 619, which is 52 pounds in two months. Dr. Gnome won't like that, as we know, but he's a big ol' softy and schedules the surgery a month from now, with another goal: 40 pounds. Hall talk with Dr. Gnome: JT should have lost more, but he's on the right track.

JT does look a ton smaller since this began, but losing the equivalent of a couple people will do that, I suppose.

10 minutes left. Time for surgery. Wishes he had someone there with him to support him. Well, when you're bedbound, who do you have beyond your partner (who doesn't want to be in Houston with you) and a cousin who can't spend his entire life there with you? Maybe you should have invited one of the food delivery drivers. JT's lymphedema is making it hard to keep him on the operating table like they need. I guess they better custom design a superfatty table.

Rooms lights off! Standard hallway talk with Dr. Gnome about what the WLS involves. Let's see how giant that stomach is. Damn. I guess they're not doing the lymphedema also in this surgical session. Now they have to figure out how to get him off the table. They need more people in the OR to move him. looks like 10 people. Dr. Gnome is going to keep him in the hospital until he recovers since he has no one to help him. Liquid diet time! I'm sure he won't bitch and moan about it. Pep talk from Dr. Gnome.

Ad break. I love that Progressive ad where Jamie is showing off slides and has all these pics of him doing all sorts of stuff none of his colleagues know about. It's great they gave him this other, secret life when he's such a schlub at work.

2 minutes left. How will this end? Probably with another 40 pounds gone. I wonder if they're saving the lymphedema removal for JT's followup ep. "I've been trapped here in the hospital since my surgery." OK, VictimDude. People waiting on you hand and foot, making your food and binging it, no responsibilities, and all free. Yeah, rough life, fatty.

Final weigh in of the ep: 519. That's 52 pounds this month. You know, JT has kind of a shitty attitude. Dr. Gnome says once JT reaches 450 pounds, they can remove the lymphedema. JT is still moping and doesn't seem to be jumping for joy at leaving the hospital. At least he isn't wearing those same ratty clothes he's been wearing. Hospital gowns now fit. At least he's up and walking around now. Walking to the park, final voice over. Had his first post-hospital weigh in, and weighed in at 491. His voice is putting me to sleep.

Time is up. On to the Slatons!

The part where his main concern is Jessica not dropping the milkshake was hilarious. You can barely take three steps and weigh almost 900 lbs. But Heaven forbid Jessica drops that shake.

They actually went for fast food two hours into the trip. JT couldn't wait? He probably gorged right before they left.

The look on Jessica's face throughout the episode. She had really had it. Yeah she's no lightweight either. But having to wait hand and foot on a 900 lb slob who wears the same tattered pants every day is going to not leave much room for self maintenance. I hope she loses the weight. She already lost 900 lbs by walking out that door.

But those pants.... He claims the reason why he only has those pants and the two tattered shirts is because of his size. But note the PS4 controller. He can buy vidya but he can't get on Google and search for supersized clothing? He could at least get some shirts. There's gotta be some place that sells items he can wear that cost less than vidya. Hell, he could sew two pairs of shorts together if he had to. I think his issues with clothing were psychological as well as laziness.

JT says he tries to bathe at least once a week. So that coupled with those nasty ass drawers... Imagine the smell that permeated through that shoebox apartment 24/7. :cryblood:

He has a brother and sister but they were not on the show. I wonder why. Maybe they don't want to be a part of the circus.

Maybe now that he is smaller his attitude will change. He told Dr. Now his dream is to live in Japan. Wonder if he's a weeaboo.:lol:
 
Summary for tonight's ep: Gina and her wife Beth live with Gina's mom. Gina's family blames Beth for Gina's out of control lardassness. Gina needs to grow a spine, get her head on straight (so to speak) and go visit Dr. Gnome. Sounds like a bunch of drama llama stuff tonight, and even before it airs, I wonder if the family only blames Beth or if they reserve some blame for their own family member, Gina.
 
Here we go again. I can already tell I'm gonna be big mad at this ep unless everyone in this house gets an attitude adjustment, pronto.

Hour one

Gina: 28 years old, 600+ pounds, from NJ. Gonna be a long trip to Houston from NJ. Can't wait for THAT ride.

Usual opening whine about how she's "trapped" in her chair and only bathes when she's forced to. What the fuck? Haul your ass up and walk a little. And bathe yourself, you filthy whore.
Beth, her wife - also a fatty, really butch haircut. Cathy, Gina's mother - also a fatty. Is the whole house just fatbodies?

She sits on the toilet in the downstairs half bath and bathes with a sponge on a stick out of a bucket of water. Gets tired doing just that and stops, heading back to her chair. I guess complete washing is out of the question. Apparently she's a bitch, per her mother, who says they have to walk on eggshells around her. You know, fuck that, you're enablers.

Now Beth says this isn't the type of marriage she had in mind. Well how fucking fat was she when you got hitched? Beth says it's like Gina has given up. Duh. Look at her.

Gina says she's "starving" when she wakes up. These lardasses need to stop using that word. Beth makes a triple breakfast for Gina before she heads out to work. And Gina's fat sister then brings her food so she can stuff her face again. Aw, poor Gina, parents have to deal with the older sister because she was diagnosed with agoraphobia. That's it? That's your fucking excuse for eating yourself into near immobility?

When she was 10 she was already 150 pounds. Claims physical/mental abuse by dear old dad. By the time she was 14, was about 300 pounds. Parents got divorced, mom didn't try to keep the kids, so they wound up with dad, and would eat eat eat. Over 450 pounds by the time she graduated high school.

So these two started dating when Gina was already over 500 pounds? WTF did Beth expect, exactly? Gina will text her with whatever crappy food she wants, and picks up food for the whole house. No sex for three years, and Gina is whining that Beth will make excuses. Well, bitch, you're the size of a small car, WTF did YOU expect?

Oh, the sister and her fiancée (Keith) also live in the house. Keith is a fatty, too. Answer to the question of if that whole house is fatbodies is a yes.

Gina is demanding that Beth stop and pick up food for everyone. Beth says no, we have food at home. Gina snippily informs her that no, Beth is not going to cook this late. What bullshit is this? Her mother mouths off that Beth shouldn't treat Gina like this - by what, saying that they should cook and not pick up greasy, fatty diner food for everyone? I hate this bitch. So now they're all sitting around downstairs, stuffing their respective pieholes. Goddamn.

"I know that if I don't lose this weight, I won't have much of a future" as she stuffs every scrap of food in her face. Good lord, Beth is getting ready to get on the couch and go to sleep and Gina asks her to bring her a snack. Which she does. How about this, Beth: NO. Try it. It will work wonders. Or just get a fucking divorce and get way from these fucking people. (First ad break, includes Alive! multivitamin)

And we're back. Today is the day to begin the trek to Houston. Gina is "overwhelmed" and pissed off at mom because mom has decided to stay and help the sister with her wedding instead of babysitting Gina. Wah, it's just like my childhood when mom ignored me. Mom is out of breath carrying a bag of clothes to Gina. Thinking Mom's gonna be falling out with a giant heart attack at some point.

Beth says the car's ready. Gina doesn't move. VO is talking about how she hopes WLS will help her lose enough to go to her sister's wedding. Bitch, Dr Gnome ain't going to do surgery on you as you are right now. Gina finally hauls her ass off the chair and stuffs herself into the back seat of the van. Hey, Beth just put a big old fan in the back. Haha.

Whining about the trip, just got on the road, she nauseated. Starts snacking. Asks Beth to stop at the next fast food place. Because it wouldn't be a trip to Houston for a weightloss consultation without a giant pile of fast food all along the way when you've barely gotten started. Gina says she doesn't know how she's going to be able to give up the food. Well, then, don't, bitch. Eat yourself to death if you want. They made it a whole four hours on the road, for a 22-23 ish hour trip.

Jesus: "Just go get the stuff, get the fan, I'm hot and sweaty." Gina says to Beth. I'd be divorcing this bitch so fast. (ad break)

Back. They've made it to Houston. I'm hating her little girl speaking voice. She's soooooo scared. Surprisingly, no one else will take her on as a patient. Because you are a giant fatass. My guess as to her weight: 600 pounds. Weight: 606 pounds. It's amazing how good you can get guessing weights of these people.

OMG, she's wearing her hair up like our pet lardass here.

Dr Gnome asks what is wrong with her eating. She says eating the wrong things, snacking. Dr Gnome asks why do you snack? Boredom. So, you don't work. How do you support yourself? Disability, and Beth works. The usual 1200 calorie diet. Wow, an easy weight loss goal: 50 pounds over the next two months.

We're only half an hour in. This better be a juicy ep. Dr Gnome says she will probably need to move to Houston for care. Just how portable are the jobs the partners have?

Hall talk with Dr. Gnome. He has reservations about Gina. Preach it doc, because I do, too. Gina says she thinks it is amazing Dr. Gnome is going to work with her, but it is overwhelming that she has to lose weight on her own. Of course they stuffed their faces with fast food on the road trip back, because of the "stress" of travel. Gina is whining about not feeling well, and bitching at her mom and Beth that they are not doing this diet. Well, bitch, they are not the ones seeking WLS, are they?

Wah, nobody understands how hard this is for me. Hey, another shelf ass! Nobody is supporting me. They don't care. You know, not doing every fucking thing FOR you is not the same as not caring. Grrr. (Ad break.)

Month two. Tonight is the rehearsal for the wedding, tomorrow is the wedding. I'm wondering how this woman thought she was going to lose a ton of weight between the time she made the appointment with Dr. Gnome and now. She's all stressed and "overwhelmed" (I think that's 3 overwhelmeds so far) about the rehearsal and doesn't know if the chairs will hold her. She sits, is whining about how long she will be able to sit there. Her fupa is serving as a table for her to rest her arms on. Thinks this is a bad idea, it's "just too much for me". FFS, do you do anything other than whine? She's been there maybe five minutes, is already exhausted and working herself into a panic attack. Beth points out she can't do this tomorrow. Gina whines it's too much, the sister is worried Gina will back out. Next day, she's trying again. OMG, the three fatasses of the apocalypse are walking in. Beth must be a notary, as she's officiating this. very small wedding. Gina whining some more. Goes back to the car, Beth is going to facetime it for her. Beth takes the mic out to the car so Gina can give her speech for the sister. Good lord. (Ad break)

Picking up hour two, after the ad break, in the next post.

She gave her speech from the car, I am dying

The way she spoke to her wife about getting dinner was a level of whiny, snide bitchiness unheard of since Penny- or maybe Angie, the drug addict that sassed Dr. Now when he called her out on her shit.

I just caaan't with these people and that word anymore. Saying you're hungry is one thing, even if you're lying, but none of these people are starving.

No sex for three years, and Gina is whining that Beth will make excuses.

Death by Meat Apron.


This chick's voice is so annoying I want to shove food in her mouth.


eta: I don't think I've ever heard one of these people say they thought their weight would be more than it actually is. Maybe I missed it.
 
Hour two

Month three. Heading back to Houston. Sister's wedding over, they're moving to Houston for the year. Gina says "We need a bed." Beth says, "I don't know what you expect me to do tonight."

me me me me me me. That's all I hear.

Followup with Dr. Gnome. Blizzard of excuses, but "I worked really hard." Famous last words. God, the red splotches everywhere on her skin. She needs a heart workup done. My guess: no weight loss. Whoa, weight is 614 today. Gained 8 pounds. More excuses, scale can't be right, blah blah. We know this story. It doesn't make sense! I worked so hard! I hope he believes me. NOPE.

Dr Gnome: how did this happen. Gina: saying all the things they normally say. Dr Gnome: come on. You just wanted to settle back into your own ways.

Protip, Gina: Dr Gnome has heard all these bullshit manipulative things. If you value your life, you need to get your shit together. You need to do the work. WLS isn't automatic. You're both enabling each other, you're both fatties. You both need to start doing something that doesn't involve food. Follow the diet. New goal: 58 pounds in the next two months. If not, go back to NJ, you're just wasting time. "It doesn't matter what you say. It matter what you do." Dr Gnome channeling Yoda. Y'all going to therapy.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome: dysfunctional. Gina is delusional (agreed), just giving answers she thinks I want to hear (agreed).

Gina is disappointed she didn't get approved for weight loss surgery today. How the fuck did you think that was going to happen? Dr Gnome is right. Almost all of these people are delusional. It's like none of them have watched this show to know how shit works. Of course, that would not be as much to comment on for all of us, so I guess we should be happy a ton (ha!) of them are as dumb as a box of rocks. (Ad break)

Time to start the countdown to the end of the ep. 45 minutes to go. Will Gina and Beth stay on plan? Will they go to therapy instead of shitting on it like Bethany did two eps ago? Will Gina continue with that stupid little girl voice (this one is definitely a yes.) Holy shit, that big fat fabulous life woman just did a clean with some serious weight on the bar.

Back. Time for therapy. Gina's upper arms are lumpy. And red. Oh hey, Dr Lola! Good to see you! What do you think the biggest problem is? Beth: communication. Gina says they try to get at one another. Dr Lola, in with the common sense: you can start by stopping. Just stop that nonsense. Beth is resentful that she does almost 100% of the work. Dr Lola has some homework for them. For Beth: a staycation. Just get out for the day, enjoy yourself. For Gina: have a day without help. Homework for the two of them: go, together, to get a bed. End of session.

Gina whining that therapy was harder than she thought it would be. Apparently everything is. Welcome to the real world, where people don't wait on your hand and foot.

Month four. They went and bought a bed, the dudes set it up for them. Now they can sleep together, in the same bed, for a change. Do they even own sheets? Ah, good, they do. They're making up the bed together. That's a change, since Beth would likely have been doing that alone previously.

What's interesting about this ep is that we're not seeing what they're eating in Houston. Or what exercise they're doing. Weird.

Month five. Back to Dr Gnome's office. I cannot get over her lumpy red arms. Weigh in time: 609. Grand total of five pounds. What the fuck are you doing? Beth should be weighing in, too, just to see. Dr Gnome is not happy. Gina is blathering on, saying all the right stuff again. New goal: original goal of 50 pounds over the next two months. Gina has a giant mole under her left ear.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome. They need to work harder, continue therapy. Her situation will continue to get worse unless she pulls her head out of her shelf ass.

Gina: knows she's running out of chances. Is gonna work toward the goal, etc. We've heard this before. (Ad break)

30 minutes left. Month six.
Gina is going to cook dinner for the two of them. Beth had some alone time. (Good for her.)
That's an awfully large portion there on those plates. What the hell is it? No idea.

Month seven. Back to Dr. Gnome's. She still doesn't look like she's lost anything. Weight: 586. 23 pounds down. Well, it's something. And since Dr Gnome is a softy, he'll be happy that at least you're trending in the right direction. I am really curious as to how much Beth weighs. Ha! Called it! Dr Gnome says at least she's heading in the right direction. Why didn't you lose more? Gina: I don't know. YOU'RE EATING TOO MUCH. Duh. Dr Gnome points out that's not what his diet plan calls for. You made up your own, so you're eating all day long. Gina doing the child caught out, shrugging, I dunno.

Dr Gnome is sending them to a dietician. We're giving you all the tools to get this done. Stop fucking around.

Back in two months. Hallway chat with Dr Gnome: Things are not looking good for Gina, because she doesn't want to do the work. This is her last chance.

Gina, once again, happy with another chance. Says she's doing everything else she can. Except, you know, not eating a giant plate of food. Goddamn. (Ad break - puppies! Oh lord, The Biggest Loser got a reboot?)

20 minutes left. We're either not going to see any WLS here, or it's going to be one of those "WLS in the last five minutes of the ep" episodes, and we'll have to wait for the followup ep to see what happens afterward. This season is fucking weird so far. And if there IS WLS in this ep, I hope they run full panels on Gina, because that red blotchy skin thing in her arms, face, and neck is a tad concerning.

Time to see the dietician! Can't wait for the tour of the fridge. get that poop bun in place, gorl. Hey, Roxanne! It's been awhile! Give them the talk about their shitty diet practices!

Nesquick chocolate milk mix. BAD. Fridge: "lite sour cream" doesn't always mean "light". Not a good choice. "Light mayo" - 35 calories, 30 of which are from fat. "Wow". Have these people never read a fucking nutrition label? Damn, how much cheese do you need? Roxanne is taking the shit food out of the apartment. That was a fast visit. Now they're sitting in the living room just staring at one another. Do you not have hobbies? Take up speaking lessons so you can lose that damn little girl voice and speak like an adult.

Month nine. Back to Dr Gnome's. Gina is (of course) nervous. Time for a weight check,. (Ad break)

10 minutes to go. Weight: 543. Down 43 pounds. Better than last time, and knowing that Dr Gnome is a softy, he will schedule it and give her another goal. Dr Gnome gives her an atta girl, asks her how she feels. He is approving her for WLS. Stick with it: goal for the next three months, lose another 50 pounds. Keep it up.

Hallway chat with Dr Gnome: good to see Gina moving in the right direction. She needs to show another few months of hard work because of her lack of progress at the beginning.

Month ten. Gina is going out on her own for the first time in years. Grocery shopping. This should be interesting. I wonder why on this ep there's hardly any views of what they're eating. Gina gets on a scooty puff to pick up the groceries. So many temptations! Thinks there are so many more options than the last time she was in a grocery store. Gina cannot drive a scooty puff. She knocked over a rack of reading glasses. Good lord. This is what happens when you shut yourself in: it looks like a different planet after eight years in the house and not going out.

Month eleven. On a date to a ceramic painting place. The girls in the place are staring at them like they have three heads. VO: cooking every day, every meal is HARD. So they've ordered delivery now and then. BZZZT. Wrong answer.

Three minutes to go. Month twelve. To the hospital. She has a tarp gown on , but they have to blur out the groin area. She's overflowing the gurney. Let's take a weight! 556 - a gain of 13 pounds. I guess we wont be having WLS surgery on this ep after all. Dr Gnome is cancelling the surgery, but giving her another chance. Lose 75 pounds over the next three months, and we will reschedule if you meet the goal. If not, you're out.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome: disappointed, because she was getting herself on track, but she's not consistent. Hopefully she will wake up and do what needs to be done.

Gina: I can't believe this is happening, don't know what happened. YOU ATE TAKEOUT FOOD. YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. "I must be sabotaging myself, I need to talk to Dr Lola."

Episode rating: FAIL.

On to the Slatons!

I love all the attempts at blurring out brand names. It's like, we know what that shit is.

Blue plastic with round chocolate creme sandwich cookies inside? Oreos.
Red box with huge orange squares on the front? Cheez-its.
Tube with fake-looking "chips" inside? Pringles. ETA: She eats the WHOLE FUCKING TUBE even after three gigantic meals and some Oreos. Gross.
Ordering chicken fries at the drive-through? Burger King.

Maybe the producers should go ahead and get some good promotional crossovers with these companies. I'd honestly love to see a Burger King ad blitz right before a localized ad for a nearby bariatric center. Capitalism!
 
I loved the wedding. Help, I can't do this. I can't be in the center of the room. Everyone will stare at me.

Bitch your whole family is morbidly obese. I hope that venue charged by tonnage.

Most everyone is going to be staring at your wife trying to figure out if she's a man or not.

Also this is the first time I've seen Dr. Now cancel surgery. This fucks up OR and PACU workflow so damn this is not done lightly.
 
Is it possible they really do feel like they're starving? Like their bizarre lifestyle has stretched their stomach to such gigantic proportions that it always feels brutally empty like they're on the verge of death?

Probably they have hunger pangs, and of course to them, that equals "starving". Makes me want to throat punch them.

They have to for liability reasons, otherwise it supposedly looks like the companies are endorsing the show (and companies are paranoid and run by dipshits, so, you know).
 
Omg Gina half-bathes from a bucket once a month. :o I can’t imagine the smell.

That's some Hamber-and-Necky-by-proxy realness.
Thanks for posting this- missed it on TV, now I'm catching up. I thought this absolute ham planet was the most hateable in a while. She had the gall to be upset that her family wanted her to shower more than once a month. She even made her sister's wedding about herself. I feel like this episode provides us with a very real look at a future Amberlynn Reid.
 
This episode was gold all over for anyone who’s wondering if it’s worth the watch.
Have your blood pressure meds on standby though.

Notable highlights:
- “It turned out to be a good thing, cause once I reached 500 pounds, I qualified for disability assistance from the state”
- Gina only takes a bath once a month. And by “bath” she means a Bart Simpson-esque rag-on-a-stick and bucket combo. She does not finish this “bath” & leaves half of herself unwashed. It’s too overwhelming for her.

- There is a bleached-out stain on the crotch of her (only pair of) leggings, presumably due to the fabric marinating for weeks around aforementioned unwashed vagina.

- All 3 family members on disability & living together
- Beth (Gina’s litemode Becky) is the only one that works
- Scene 1 - Bethy is on the phone after a long day at work. She wants to cook when she gets home instead of coming home with take-out. Unacceptable. Gina throws a fit until Beth concedes. Not enough. Gina doesn't want to call the takeaway place herself. She guilts Beth some more until she agrees to do that too. Mama Gina follows this up by talking shit about Beth and implying that Gina is too good for such abuse. :story:
- Quoth Lola the therapist - “just stop”
- NECK HUMP WATCH 2020
Amberlynn 2.0 confirmed

- They go to Gina’s sister’s wedding, where Gina panics about being seen in public. She decides that the better option is to give her maid of honour speech FROM THE VAN OUTSIDE OVER FACETIME LMAO. Thank god she figured out how to dodge the judgement of the wedding guests!
Screen Shot 2020-01-31 at 12.08.16 PM.png

- She sounds like Louanne at some points. Her voice is pretty annoying.
- She manages to get her shit together at a couple points & actually stick to the diet, so you’re like ‘oh? maybe she can actually do this?’
- BUT THEN, classic foreshadowing before the final weigh-in. “I’ve been doing well… but we’ve gotten fast food a couple times. Nothing like cheesesteak and cheese fries though.” Pretty specific there, Gina.
- TLC trolled the fuck out of both the audience and Gina at the last weigh-in. She’s in a hospital gown and everything, dead convinced that she’s going to get her surgery. They come back from commercial break with one of those “surgery ahead, viewer discretion” warnings. But Gina is looking suspiciously large. Then Dr Now comes in and says he wants to check her weight to make sure she lost enough for the surgery. She gained. Has to go home without surgery. Perfect ending.

10/10. Would definitely rewatch.

And she says if she had her way she’d bathe less than that and wonders why Beth hasn’t gone calm diving for three years.

It gets worse she's a lesbian. You know, the sexuality that requires your partner to spend long periods of time with their head between your legs?
