I loved Bruce’s comment: “I have to warn you, I just took two Ben & Jerry’s.” 🆒

Who else but Dr. Drew to kick Jeff to the curb.  
Which brings me to this question-- do the people behind this show really care or is it all for the drama in front of the camera? I mean, they went to the trouble of an intervention but went with an MTV doctor to intervine.

A little of both, I guess. Jeff is gone.

Do you think Young MC is doing anything “extra-curricular” to lose weight? And what bug got up Tempest’s butt? I wish she was more articulate with what is pissing her off? I think it may have been Bizzare, Bruce and even Chastity’s inability to pull off the challenge, hence the “The challenge was too challenging but _I_ finished.”

I also wish they’d spoken more to Kelly and Tempest about the weight loss stall. I believe them when they said they stuck to their new routines. I would be disappointed in the small weight loss also.  
Lastly-- Gunnar doesn’t need to lose any weight. He needs to hit the gym.

I just saw this episode and was just— “Damn!” at Gunnar. Son, if you wanna lose the weight you need to lose then take Metamucil for the next two days and let Chastity and Bruce and Bizarre and the folks who really do need to lose weight and _don’t_ just want a venue to whine about their mother have the show.

Who did they turn down for his spot? Paris Hilton? He’s not even Hollywood fat.

And why didn’t Jeff mention he was Zack on Babylon5?  
I loved Zack.
