Much like rehab, this show is pointless if the contestants can't/won't/don't continue to maintain their success in a healthy way. As Cracked outlines, this failure is usually what happens.

I believe all of this. I knew there was now way you could healthily lose 50-100 lbs in a few months.

13 years of Catholic schooling and no one ever told me the difference. 13. Years.

I told a joke to my old boss once. He was Catholic, I am Catholic, I figured he would enjoy it: What do you call a sleepwalking nun?

Vagnoni is 56, a few years older than I am (I'm at the boom's end.). When she writes about the ideas boomers have about how parents should be treated, I have to laugh. Boomers treated their parents like garbage. They had tons of advantages. The kind no group before or since had.

My daughter loved to play catch. I've joked she was the son I always wanted (and I have a son...). I've always felt guilty about saying no when asked to play. Don't get me wrong, I said "yes" a lot because I enjoyed it too. But some times... some times I just needed "dad" time.

ikr? That's some total X-Files shit

Um can we talk about the part where he had a girlfriend IN THE HOUSE who had him having sex with his 17 year old daughter and didn't call the cops??

She found out when she heard us making love. I guess we didn't realize how thin the bedroom floor was. She really didn't mind. Now we're like a little family. She calls me her daughter.

Yup, if any 30-year old man started talking to a girl when she was 15, and then slept with her at 17, and married her at 18, I'd call it grooming.

I'd really like to hear how anyone thinks this is okay ESPECIALLY the dad. Like, his confused teenage daughter is weirdly attracted to him... okay... now is the part where you shut that shit down, not where you hook up with her.

Like special dog, whilst moving.

it's the family thing that is honestly the weirdest part

This is NOT ok.

one time a pizza guy (rushed out the door by his manager) forgot one of my pizzas. He felt so bad that he offered to bring us free stuff ("I'm gonna bring you guys so much free shit!) and we weren't mad because we aren't crazy and we had our first pizza to ride us over. When he came back he brought a free pizza in…

First and most importantly, as a former pizza delivery person fuck those cheap entitled assholes.

Yes. This is something abusers do to victims to humiliate and debase them. Filing a police report and getting an order of protection would not be out of line at all.

this...is assault? yes??

That's assault and I would call the police for sure.
