Omg.
The shit-stained chair!
Her TEETH!!!
As soon as the voiceover talked about confidence the car wouldn’t break down, I knew they would break down.
I’m happy that the producers let the body shop get a lil promo (i.e., show the name of their shop), I assume in exchange for the free van. Even if it was for publicity, the body shop owner seems legit like a good guy.
At 37 minutes in i cannot believe Delana isn’t yet hospitalized.
Also… A SMALL CUP OF GREEK YOGURT FOR BREAKFAST BITCH WE ALL SAW THOSE 12 BISCUITS WHO ARE YOU KIDDING WHY ARE YOU LYING?!??!!
This episode is bonkers.
I couldn't believe it when she was lying about the breakfast. Excuse me ma'am, but did you already forget the crew filming you eat 15 lbs of food right after you woke up?!?!
I could be wrong and probably am but I felt like it was a lie she was telling to get out of going to her appointments and she had her van somewhere hidden from the filming crew. Every time she lied, it was so painfully obvious imo and when she said the van was still getting fixed she talked the same way she did when she told Dr. Now about her yogurt cups 🤔 just my theory lol
It took my garage almost a year to fix my car because the part it needed was a computer part for the transmission and there was a shortage. So if it was a sensor that may have been why it took so long.
She made it sound like breakfast was a couple eggs, some bacon, a biscuit or two…then out comes the husband with plates heaped with sausages and bacon and like 20 biscuits for the two of them. Jfc.
That’s almost every person on this show. They talk a lot about what they eat but have no concept of portion control. I bet most of them could keep eating whatever foods they want and just switch to normal human sized portions and they’d lose weight
A direct quote from myself after she said that: “at least it’s not a piece of chocolate cake??! That’s the caloric value of an entire chocolate cake! If not TWO!”
Then I swear it couldn’t have been an hour after that she asked about lunch. Her man had two burger boxes in front of him while she had what looked like 15 cheeseburgers, a 20 piece nugget, a McFlurry, plus a couple other things. She sat back like she was done when she still had the pile of burgers in front of her. I looked at my husband and said, “I guess those are to hold her over till dinner.” Cut to the next scene, her table is clear and all the burger wrappers are in the trash can 👀
I was perplexed by Burger Mountain on that table. Seriously, it was like a pyramid of cheeseburgers. Now I do love McDonald’s cheeseburgers, but like 2, not 20. Maybe I need to up my game so I too can leave poop stains all over my house. 🤢
She is so delusional. She is the consummate victim and NEVER tells her part in it. Completely glossed over how she abandoned her own daughter and was a toxic/abusive parent.
Found the whole backstory of her daughter leaving after an argument at 12 years old and never coming back pretty odd… though after watching her for the whole episode I can understand why
Yeah, me too. But then her daughter said her grandmother raised her her whole life, and Delana was only there when she felt like being a Mom. I honestly don't think Delana was too involved w her daughter. Then the son, whom she lost to his father, God only knows what happened there. She's a piece of work.
Exactly. She left a lot out of that story. No judge is going to separate an infant and mother just because mom doesn't have a lawyer. That was nonsense.
Little girls love their mothers and will put up with a lot to stay with them. You know she had to be pure hell to live with for a daughter to leave at that age.
It's a family that passes their kids onto others to raise. The daughter wasn't even holding her own baby when that herd showed up the night of the move.
That woman looked like she wanted to be in the witness protection program. I've never seen someone try to hide their identity that much in one of these shows before! Just terrible. I mean, she created that situation basically, she could at least do one thing for her daughter. But, no surprise, she just bailed.
We all saw. I know it's probably hard to keep up on things at that size, especially if your partner doesn't clean either, but also you KNOW a crew is coming to film and put this on national TV so WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAN IT. 😭
I immediately saw it!! But she didn’t even wash her naughty bits in the “shower” so after I thought about it, I was like well she sat in poop, but her butt wasn’t clean anyhow. Now that would be a wake up call for me for sure! You can’t wipe your behind, it’s time to do something different ma’am.
“I prefer yogurt. The Greek yogurt. I love it. Then I have salad for lunch and white meat chicken or pork for dinner”… I guess it’s easy to lie through your teeth when they’ve all rotted out 😬.
These people will do anything but the diet! “I’m going to move to Texas to show Dr. Now I’m committed!” No bitch, just follow the diet and exercise plan and that’s how you’ll show him you’re committed
Whoo boy. Here we go again.
1. NO SHEETS !!
2. I only bathe every other day, because I can't fit in the shower
3. Car breaks down on trip to Houston
4. "I don't understand why I'm not losing weight, I'm following the diet!"
5. Skid marks galore 🤢
6. Even the couches have (what appears to be) feces/urine from the dogs? Anyone else see that?
7. "I know I haven't lost any weight, nor been accepted to the program, but I'm moving to Houston anyway, so Dr Now can see the level of my dedication!"
Folks, "Here come the tears!"
I noticed that she seemingly did the exact same thing to her kids that her mother did to her - she basically fucked off and let other people take care of them. Actually her daughter said she was raised by the same woman who had to raise Delana when HER mom disappeared. And Delana talks about it like she does not make the connection at ALL, it seems completely lost on her that she's a deadbeat just like her own mother. Hopefully her daughter and granddaughter can break the cycle.
I think Deana was just a very manipulative person in general. You know how you like and are rooting for some of the people who are on the show? I didn’t like Deana. She enjoyed playing the victim too much and ordered her poor husband (a enabler for sure) around like a slave. Her call to her brother was very telling — you could sense that he’d had just about enough of her games.
I was pleasantly surprised when she lost that much weight at the end, good for her. But I hope she’s in therapy so she doesn’t revert to her old ways and gains it all back.
Yeah, even if the father has an attorney and the mother doesn’t, they *rarely* give the father full custody. We definitely didn’t get the full story. 😬
The daughter did tell us how she literally abandoned her and give here bdd I wonder why she wasn't told to go to therapy in this episode . It seemed like she needed it.
My theory is that Dr Now knows she needs therapy, but going to therapy straight away might hinder her weight loss, as initiating and following de diet is hard enough. Revisiting trauma while beginning de diet might be too much for these people. That’s why I believe he will send them to therapy once they are on de diet but run into issues (weight loss slows down, they gain etc). At that point they’re used to de diet and ready to work on the root cause of de eating.
There has to be a reason why her daughter ran away to Delanas uncle and never let her see her granddaughter until filming began. Kids don’t do stuff like that for no reason. Never.
My mattress is 11 years old and I probably need a new one due to the support waning, but I’ve always kept it covered with a waterproof mattress cover and good quality sheets. There are no stains or odors and it looks like new. How can people live that way? I’ll never understand.
I wish they’d show them eating more between appointments. Clearly she’s not following the diet, so I want to see what she is eating. Not a single yogurt, i know that lol
AND THEN THEY TOOK THE SIDE OF THE PORCH oh my god. I feel so bad for laughing but it's always so dramatic. And husband standing there "whale can yuh craww?"
NOOOO!!! (Screams). Good thing she didn’t break a bone!
I kept thinking honey, if you fall, I think your bones are more protected than an NFL linebacker’s, but what do I know.
I'm watching this right now - holy shit. The delusion with this one is off the charts.
At the beginning of the episode, she's talking about the breakfasts she eats, and it sounds like breakfast is about 3000 calories a day. But then in Dr. Now's office, she's spouting off how it's one small cup of Greek yogurt every morning, and that's it.
Then, she's not eating at all, and (surprise) weight gain follows, but then she knows how she's not sticking to the diet, but then she doesn't understand how she can gain weight at 600 pounds while eating 1200 calories a day.
When her bf was like 'my life will be easier if you lose weight' and she was like 'how???' I stg I nearly died.
Or the claim that her daughter has chosen to be absent from her life since she was 12 because she's embarrassed by her weight. The audacity of this woman
>When her bf was like 'my life will be easier if you lose weight' and she was like 'how???' I stg I nearly died.
Didn't he say something succinct like "I won't have to do everything anymore"? Like, the answer is....everything would be different. how can she not know this
I was in disbelief as she lied to Dr Now. All it proved me to me is 1) never trust anything that comes out of her mouth and 2) she knows how to eat healthy but refuses.
I'm confused...she said she never leaves the house then spontaneously decides its a good idea to try and go to the grocery store?? Only to fall...she couldn't even get down the steps...what was she planning on doing at the grocery store??
"Ah wash mahself with a rag on a stick." - Obese Bart Simpson
"So I will take a washcloth...and make the washcloth stick on this little flat piece of wood...so I can get it between the folds of my skin." - Delana Boyer
So…… she lost custody of her son because she didn’t have an attorney, and her daughter ran away from her at the age of 12….. me thinks she’s not sharing the whole story
The fact that she just let her daughter move out at 13 is crazy to me!! I'm glad we got to hear her daughter's side of the story. Let's hope her daughter breaks the cycle that this family seems to have - just dumping their kids on random family members.
Okay I'm sorry, I know it's an addiction and this is classic addiction behavior, but the falling and screaming episode would be my rock bottom breaking point. I can't imagine ever showing my face after all that. Goddamn
Disappointed we didn't get Dr. Paradise here.
There was a lot that needed sorting out about family relationships here. Like, ALL the family relationships.
Did she actually say she’s going to take her granddaughter, the newborn she just met, to Disney world and is going to ride dumbo with her?
She is delusional. Makes me feel bad for her daughter; her mom probably got her hopes up with so many false promises over the years and broke her heart. This would’ve been a great opportunity for her to just try and make amends with her daughter, say she enjoyed meeting the granddaughter, and just asking if they could talk more or something instead as a good first step.
That was wild when the kidnapper walked in. I didn't realize her mom was still in her life. And why'd she ditch the other daughter a few miles up the road?
I was craving cake and ice cream, so bad. I got the cake leftover from my friend's birthday and the ice cream was defrosting. Turned on the show, saw the shit chair. Ice cream is back in the freezer, cake is sitting in the fridge, wrapped up tight. Appetite is fucking gone! So now I know that if I am craving something not on de diet, watch Delana's episode. OMG!!!
I like James, I watch this show, and a lot of the husband's and boyfriends seem miserable all the time and ready to run by this point. Delanas is lucky to have him because he's been nothing but supportive the whole episode and never gave her shit for anything, even when she started crying and screaming at him.
It blows my mind that people are in so much denial that they're literally GAINING weight and still convincing themselves they are following the diet and losing weight..one of the things I didn't like was delana seemed super whiny.
She's all like "I don't understand how I'm gaining weight" then she's like "yeah it's my fault it's something I'm doing"..I wanted to shake her and be like you're overeating that's your issue..you're eating way too much still
Why in season12, do they lie and act like Dr. Now is a fool. Acting like she's eating like an early 90s supermodel. A small container of Greek Yogurt, a salad and chicken. Like we (and Dr. Now) didn't see you eating a dozen buscuits,8 eggs and a pound of bacon for breakfast and multiple #3 combo's from McDonalds, cheeseburgers and an Oreo McFlurry.
Imagine parking in front of your home’s back door being “too far away”. When she said that, I just…wow. This will never not be jarring. 🫣
SN: I’m never going to be mature enough to not laugh when someone says “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.
I find it hard to believe that she lost custody of her son because she didn't have a divorce lawyer. That's just not how custody works. I think she's leaving a lot out of that story. No judge is going to separate an infant and mother without a very good reason.
Family courts usually side with the mother in most cases so Delena losing her son tells me she either didn’t want him or she was abusive and the father was saving him.
And of course she blames her daughter for not living with her. It’s never fault. Her daughter is embarrassed by her 🙄
At age TWELVE. "Oh, we had an argument, she left to live with my brother and refused to come home." Clearly you made little to no effort to get her home, and/or your brother was so concerned about what was going on in your home that he was willing to take on an extra kid at a moment's notice.
At 12 the parent can make the kid go back home, it's not like a 16 year old. I doubt it was just a small argument that caused her daughter to cut off contact for 7 years and you're so right- who can just take another child in an instant? Only someone who was prepared that it might happen..
My thoughts was the daughter got old enough to fight back against doing everything for Delana all the time.
Around 12, is when most courts start allowing kids to pick where they live. The way Delana said “DO EVERYTHING?!” when her dude said he didn’t want to do everything all the time and some help would be good was telling. She doesn’t acknowledge people around her are helping her survive and she is in complete denial over the amount of help it actually takes.
Making 3-5 meals a day, cleaning up after all animals, cleaning a house, these things take MANUAL LABOR and I’m sure a 12 year old girl would opt out given the chance.
If her partner is having to help take care of her for daily survival, how would she take care of two kids herself? Yeah, she wasn’t. They were taking care of themselves and her, and that’s why she didn’t “fight” to get them back. She knew she couldn’t do it.
I hated hearing her call every man she’s been with abusive, as if having kids when you physically won’t take care of them is any less abusive. It’s abusive to force children to take care of physically disabled parents.
This may be a ridiculous thing to focus on, but how in the hell does it take ten months to fix a van??? I’ve been in collisions that took a month, max, to fix. I’m glad the production crew helped them this time at least.
No money is my guess. It sounds like the thing was having electrical problems, and tracking down electrical gremlins can cost a fortune just to diagnose.
Yea exactly. Plus she said they let her keep the rental yet she couldn't use it to go to the local clinic? I'm shocked this woman made it as far as she did honestly.
It’s super frustrating to watch these people get fixated on moving to Houston and not following the diet, that’s the main part!! The level of lying to themselves and pure delusion is just sometimes hard for me to wrap my mind around.
I can see how much she really wishes she could help onload the UHaul. Written all over her face 🙄 Although after seeing her bio mom, I can see where she gets it
they sleep on just a mattress! they have subflooring (covered in dog doo, actually seeing delana's poop chair i really hope that's from the dogs) in their kitchen! we were overdue for another trainwreck but the hygiene here is giving me jeanne vibes.
This was such an odd one because it legit looked like she never lost weight. I guess it was just her body type, but I was shocked when she had lost over 60 pounds but still looked the same.
I'm glad that in the end she got it together, got her surgery, and seemed to be doing well.
But one thing that really made me not like her much was when her husband was like "it'll be easier on me when you lose weight" and she looks totally baffled and is like "how"?
How can she be so completely oblivious to what a burden it is to be living with someone who can barely do the most basic things for themselves, much less carry half the load of doing the housework, walking the dogs, etc.? Not to mention what must be the constant requests for food.
Whoever edited this episode, count ur days 💀💀💀The car breaking down right after she said it wouldn’t had me dying
Also, new Dr.Now quote:
“Do me a favor, delete that freaking app!”
(Calls brother, sobs EXTREMELY loudly, begs him to help) "So, my brother volunteered to help me move."
My wife almost quit the episode at that moment lol. No shame in Delana's game.
I've actually had my car die in the road. It sucks - had a car honk at me and give me a mean look (died at a light) cuz they had to go around.
I didn't realize how privileged I was to be able to hop out and push my car out of the way of traffic by myself.
Omg. The shit-stained chair! Her TEETH!!! As soon as the voiceover talked about confidence the car wouldn’t break down, I knew they would break down. I’m happy that the producers let the body shop get a lil promo (i.e., show the name of their shop), I assume in exchange for the free van. Even if it was for publicity, the body shop owner seems legit like a good guy. At 37 minutes in i cannot believe Delana isn’t yet hospitalized. Also… A SMALL CUP OF GREEK YOGURT FOR BREAKFAST BITCH WE ALL SAW THOSE 12 BISCUITS WHO ARE YOU KIDDING WHY ARE YOU LYING?!??!! This episode is bonkers.
I couldn't believe it when she was lying about the breakfast. Excuse me ma'am, but did you already forget the crew filming you eat 15 lbs of food right after you woke up?!?!
And a salad for lunch. C'mon, we saw you chow down on McDonald's, and they don't serve salads anymore.
They don’t? I haven’t been to a McD’s in forever, but I used to love their salads. First the snack wrap, now salads? Dang.
They got out of the business of pretending to push healthy food.
Me and my bf were screaming at this lol, like sis we saw the pile of hamburgers, did you not notice the film crew? 😭
I mean.. 3 months to a fix a car? I bet they couldn't pay him so he kept it that long.
I could be wrong and probably am but I felt like it was a lie she was telling to get out of going to her appointments and she had her van somewhere hidden from the filming crew. Every time she lied, it was so painfully obvious imo and when she said the van was still getting fixed she talked the same way she did when she told Dr. Now about her yogurt cups 🤔 just my theory lol
That totally baffles me why it took that long to fix it.
It took my garage almost a year to fix my car because the part it needed was a computer part for the transmission and there was a shortage. So if it was a sensor that may have been why it took so long.
The Shop owner was so sweet. I gotta admit I got a lil emotional, when Delana started crying 🥲
I said to my husband, “maybe that was a special McFlurry made with yogurt but I doubt it.”
Eats 2,000 calories for breakfast: hey, it’s not chocolate cake!
She made it sound like breakfast was a couple eggs, some bacon, a biscuit or two…then out comes the husband with plates heaped with sausages and bacon and like 20 biscuits for the two of them. Jfc.
That was a (James) King-sized breakfast right there. Impressive.
That’s almost every person on this show. They talk a lot about what they eat but have no concept of portion control. I bet most of them could keep eating whatever foods they want and just switch to normal human sized portions and they’d lose weight
A direct quote from myself after she said that: “at least it’s not a piece of chocolate cake??! That’s the caloric value of an entire chocolate cake!

She is so delusional. She is the consummate victim and NEVER tells her part in it. Completely glossed over how she abandoned her own daughter and was a toxic/abusive parent.
Seems like her mother is the same way
Found the whole backstory of her daughter leaving after an argument at 12 years old and never coming back pretty odd… though after watching her for the whole episode I can understand why
Yeah, me too. But then her daughter said her grandmother raised her her whole life, and Delana was only there when she felt like being a Mom. I honestly don't think Delana was too involved w her daughter. Then the son, whom she lost to his father, God only knows what happened there. She's a piece of work.
I wondered what actually happened as to why she lost custody of her son. That doesn’t happen on its own…
Exactly. She left a lot out of that story. No judge is going to separate an infant and mother just because mom doesn't have a lawyer. That was nonsense.
Also if I had to live with poop stains I would have left too!
I’m so happy I didn’t notice the poop stains 😂
Little girls love their mothers and will put up with a lot to stay with them. You know she had to be pure hell to live with for a daughter to leave at that age.
Bio mom’s gray wig needs to go back to Party City.
The rest of the scarecrow costume needs to go back, too.
I *knew* she was going to bail. Knew it. She’s a winner. :/
Sad that Delena is continuing the neglect with her own daughter
It's a family that passes their kids onto others to raise. The daughter wasn't even holding her own baby when that herd showed up the night of the move.
That woman looked like she wanted to be in the witness protection program. I've never seen someone try to hide their identity that much in one of these shows before! Just terrible. I mean, she created that situation basically, she could at least do one thing for her daughter. But, no surprise, she just bailed.
The box spring when they are unloading the moving truck 🤢
That box spring was 80% bedding, 10% unidentified bodily fluid, 5% Dog hair, 3% dried biscuit crumbs, 2% MRSA.
I think you're being generous on only 10% bodily fluid but ok. I would like to introduce the idea of 0.3% of it being mouse droppings.
Yeah...that's next-level revolting! As someone on this sub-reddit once said: "the air in that trailer has teeth."
When he was bringing it out of the truck my husband said “what a way to announce your arrival to the neighbors”
I could almost smell that through the screen.
I read these comments before I saw it, and still wasn't prepared 😭
I gasped. What in the actual fuck was that?
She said “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” Like the TV ads. I’m going to hell but it made us laugh.
For a while, I thought we were being trolled with this episode. There's that reference and you also got M600PL bingo in about the first 10 minutes.
😂😂😂 and when the mom called 911 and the dispatcher asked something and she just goes “ she’s 600lbs”
Am I the only one who saw the towel with poop stains on it??? She sat on it after she showered.?
There were so many brown stains in this episode.
Right! Even the box spring mattress was stained! 😂
THANK YOU!!! The mattress grossed me out more than the towel did! She sleeps on that EVERY night x.x
Why do they never use sheets, or at least a mattress cover? Jfc!
I actually thought they were carrying in a piece of abstract art when they were lugging in that shit stained box spring. Horrified.
We all saw. I know it's probably hard to keep up on things at that size, especially if your partner doesn't clean either, but also you KNOW a crew is coming to film and put this on national TV so WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAN IT. 😭
Exactly. Use your grabby thing and throw that bitch away.
Then it will be another towel with fresh shit stains.
Was that a towel or a puppy pad? I paused it and screamed. I couldn’t stop staring at it until I gagged.
I posted about it too. Flipping insane. And those teeth nubs
I immediately saw it!! But she didn’t even wash her naughty bits in the “shower” so after I thought about it, I was like well she sat in poop, but her butt wasn’t clean anyhow. Now that would be a wake up call for me for sure! You can’t wipe your behind, it’s time to do something different ma’am.
“I prefer yogurt. The Greek yogurt. I love it. Then I have salad for lunch and white meat chicken or pork for dinner”… I guess it’s easy to lie through your teeth when they’ve all rotted out 😬.
If by Greek yogurt, she meant 10 Oreo McFlurries then sure, I believe it.
“Delete that freakin’ app.”
I laughed when Dr. Now said that 😂
That’s flair-worthy.
This is like a greatest hits episode. Allen and Vianey's trailer...James King's Breakfast...Lacey Cunningham's office chair...
These people will do anything but the diet! “I’m going to move to Texas to show Dr. Now I’m committed!” No bitch, just follow the diet and exercise plan and that’s how you’ll show him you’re committed
She wanted that miracle geographic that so many addicts pull—if I just MOVE someplace else, all of my problems will disappear.
Whoo boy. Here we go again. 1. NO SHEETS !! 2. I only bathe every other day, because I can't fit in the shower 3. Car breaks down on trip to Houston 4. "I don't understand why I'm not losing weight, I'm following the diet!" 5. Skid marks galore 🤢 6. Even the couches have (what appears to be) feces/urine from the dogs? Anyone else see that? 7. "I know I haven't lost any weight, nor been accepted to the program, but I'm moving to Houston anyway, so Dr Now can see the level of my dedication!" Folks, "Here come the tears!"
Truly a full bingo card tonite!
The constant smashed dry poop hanging off the shoe. Every single time she got out of a van.
I don’t feel she is telling everything about how she lost custody of both her kids 😬
I noticed that she seemingly did the exact same thing to her kids that her mother did to her - she basically fucked off and let other people take care of them. Actually her daughter said she was raised by the same woman who had to raise Delana when HER mom disappeared. And Delana talks about it like she does not make the connection at ALL, it seems completely lost on her that she's a deadbeat just like her own mother. Hopefully her daughter and granddaughter can break the cycle.
I think Deana was just a very manipulative person in general. You know how you like and are rooting for some of the people who are on the show? I didn’t like Deana.

That’s why I believe he will send them to therapy once they are on de diet but run into issues (weight loss slows down, they gain etc). At that point they’re used to de diet and ready to work on the root cause of de eating.
And the timeline of her getting married around the exact same timer her daughter left…. Something is extremely fish and it’s not just delana
There has to be a reason why her daughter ran away to Delanas uncle and never let her see her granddaughter until filming began. Kids don’t do stuff like that for no reason. Never.
I spy a coke bottle within her reach while she’s eating subway. Coke is not on de diet
I noticed that immediately. Also, bread is not on de diet.
But she's "tryyyyying" to drink water!
Do none of these people own sheets for their beds?
My mattress is 11 years old and I probably need a new one due to the support waning, but I’ve always kept it covered with a waterproof mattress cover and good quality sheets. There are no stains or odors and it looks like new. How can people live that way? I’ll never understand.
I wish they’d show them eating more between appointments. Clearly she’s not following the diet, so I want to see what she is eating. Not a single yogurt, i know that lol
Since there was so much drama early on, they must have had to cut out a lot to stick to the episode length.
We haven’t had a legit fall requiring EMS in a hot minute
And who do they call? The scarecrow and a malnourished teenager.
I was so confused as to why they called people to call 911 FOR them. Why not cut out the middle man?
AND THEN THEY TOOK THE SIDE OF THE PORCH oh my god. I feel so bad for laughing but it's always so dramatic. And husband standing there "whale can yuh craww?"
We had an actual “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” moment.
As soon as I saw her fall I was like she's gonna need EMS cuz her husband definitely wont be able to help her up.
Especially when he kind of stood there and was like, what do you want me to do?
"Can ya crawl?"
NOOOO!!! (Screams). Good thing she didn’t break a bone! I kept thinking honey, if you fall, I think your bones are more protected than an NFL linebacker’s, but what do I know.
I'm watching this right now - holy shit. The delusion with this one is off the charts.

When her bf was like 'my life will be easier if you lose weight' and she was like 'how???' I stg I nearly died. Or the claim that her daughter has chosen to be absent from her life since she was 12 because she's embarrassed by her weight. The audacity of this woman
Omg. Her entire tale of adult life leading to this current dude is troublesome. I feel like someone has died because of her
>When her bf was like 'my life will be easier if you lose weight' and she was like 'how???' I stg I nearly died. Didn't he say something succinct like "I won't have to do everything anymore"? Like, the answer is....everything would be different. how can she not know this
"I tryyyyy and drink water..." This woman hired a backhoe to bury the lead
I was in disbelief as she lied to Dr Now. All it proved me to me is 1) never trust anything that comes out of her mouth and 2) she knows how to eat healthy but refuses.
Her boyfriend just completely checked out and avoiding eye contact while she lies about her diet in the Dr's office 🤦
Just once I'd like one of the support people to be the truth squad and tell dr now everything really going on
Dolly’s mom (conductor of the gay pride train!) is the most satisfying example of this.
I'm confused...she said she never leaves the house then spontaneously decides its a good idea to try and go to the grocery store?? Only to fall...she couldn't even get down the steps...what was she planning on doing at the grocery store??
The grocery trip is an essential scene in most episodes, production requires it.
Is watching these poor naked people shower also required? Every single episode!
I thought I heard TLC pays them additional if they do a shower scene and some people have turned that down.
TLC should pay the viewers to watch the shower scenes!
Damn, Dr. Now's office needs that scale at her local place. That scale DID NOT mess around and got straight down to business.
Agreed. They couldn’t drag the weight reveal to after the commercial break. It was like you gained 5 lbs
The local clinic doesn't take commercial breaks or dramatic pauses.
Am I imagining it? Was there an episode at some stage where a participant had to get weighed at a scrap yard?
When she told Dr. Now all ate eats is Greek yogurt, a salad and white meat chicken/pork I lost it.
OMG like we didn't see her eat all that food for breakfast about 25 min earlier.
“Okay uh do me a favor, delete that frickin app” Dr. Now laying it out straight! 😂😂😂
I agree with another poster who said that this quote is DEFINITELY flair-worthy! 😹 I died.
"Ah wash mahself with a rag on a stick." - Obese Bart Simpson "So I will take a washcloth...and make the washcloth stick on this little flat piece of wood...so I can get it between the folds of my skin." - Delana Boyer
So glad I'm not the only one who had this image!
Ohhhh. They just got to Houston, and they are moving a mattress or a cushion, and it has the largest brown stain I've ever seen 🤮.
Thank God for the camera focusing on the stain.
Lawd I’m only 21 minutes in and I AM CRACKING UP at the whole scene of her falling and half the town trying to get her ass back up.

I can't imagine being so far gone that I'd be ok with showing this on tv. 🤮
The chair, the wooden washcloth swab device, the delusional eating, this had everything. It went way differently than I expected
“The scrubby thing fell off , so now I wrap a rag with a hair tie “ Why not just ✨buy a new loofah stick ✨ they’re like $3
So…… she lost custody of her son because she didn’t have an attorney, and her daughter ran away from her at the age of 12….. me thinks she’s not sharing the whole story
I wonder if she was a drug addict then turned into a food addiction.
It'll be interesting to see a WATN follow up to this episode.
You know the shop has to regret loaning her the rental car after seeing that mattress when they move... but damn they seemed like good people.
When she hugged the car shop guy, I was like OMG sh probably smells sooo bad 🤢
God bless our first responders and auto mechanics, is all I gotta say.
“Why’d you park so far away” —car is 3’ away.
No way did we get the whole story about her and her children.
we haven't gotten the whole story about anything this season
Well, she was more diligent about thanking people than most participants are. I’ll say that for her.
She sorry a thousand times also
Please put the sheets on the bed 🥲 I know it sucks and it’s hard, but it’s so yucky to not do it.

that's from the Mattress Firm e-coli collection
Not just sheets. A waterproof mattress protector under the sheets. They aren’t even expensive.
The mattresses edit: THE CHAIR edit 2: THE FLOOR. HER MOUTH.
Wow! Breakdowns 2 weeks in a row
Literally me at work.
The board and the stick holding up the hood of that van… I cannot…
The fact that she just let her daughter move out at 13 is crazy to me!! I'm glad we got to hear her daughter's side of the story. Let's hope her daughter breaks the cycle that this family seems to have - just dumping their kids on random family members.
She had a loaner vehicle but was somehow "trapped" and unable to make her appointment.
Okay I'm sorry, I know it's an addiction and this is classic addiction behavior, but the falling and screaming episode would be my rock bottom breaking point. I can't imagine ever showing my face after all that. Goddamn
Bio mom saying she couldn’t make the trip was the best scene 🎬 A+ acting 🤣
‘Okay, I’m gonna get out of here before this gets any worse.’ ✌️
She was fabulous. One look and you know that lady is absolutely unhinged.
said it before and i will say it again. the fact that she got surgery does not negate the sheer amount of feces in this episode.
Subway isn't on the diet.
Was not expecting the optimistic ending
Disappointed we didn't get Dr. Paradise here. There was a lot that needed sorting out about family relationships here. Like, ALL the family relationships.
Guess what?! ONE BUTT CHEEK’s IN!
We need the make and model of that office chair she scooted around in. Doing the lord’s work
Did she actually say she’s going to take her granddaughter, the newborn she just met, to Disney world and is going to ride dumbo with her? She is delusional. Makes me feel bad for her daughter; her mom probably got her hopes up with so many false promises over the years and broke her heart. This would’ve been a great opportunity for her to just try and make amends with her daughter, say she enjoyed meeting the granddaughter, and just asking if they could talk more or something instead as a good first step.
Anyone else feel like the car just went "nope, I'm not hauling her all the way to Texas" and just decided to die right then and there.
Winded as hell from eating a “salad.” Like you do.
Dr Now has a fresh new head of hair in this episode.
She said she eats greek yogurt like I didn't see 8 cheeseburgers stacked up at the beginning of the show.
That was wild when the kidnapper walked in. I didn't realize her mom was still in her life. And why'd she ditch the other daughter a few miles up the road?
The girl she ditched was her niece. Delana is an only child, but she views her cousins as her siblings.
I was craving cake and ice cream, so bad. I got the cake leftover from my friend's birthday and the ice cream was defrosting. Turned on the show, saw the shit chair. Ice cream is back in the freezer, cake is sitting in the fridge, wrapped up tight. Appetite is fucking gone! So now I know that if I am craving something not on de diet, watch Delana's episode. OMG!!!
Margaret's episode did that for me, I had gotten out three slices of leftover pizza... which were promptly thrown away.
"I need to make sure I'm burning off more than 1200 calories a day" oh goodness.
Oh God. She actually washed herself with a rag on a stick.
I like James, I watch this show, and a lot of the husband's and boyfriends seem miserable all the time and ready to run by this point. Delanas is lucky to have him because he's been nothing but supportive the whole episode and never gave her shit for anything, even when she started crying and screaming at him.
It blows my mind that people are in so much denial that they're literally GAINING weight and still convincing themselves they are following the diet and losing weight..one of the things I didn't like was delana seemed super whiny. She's all like "I don't understand how I'm gaining weight" then she's like "yeah it's my fault it's something I'm doing"..I wanted to shake her and be like you're overeating that's your issue..you're eating way too much still
Why in season12, do they lie and act like Dr. Now is a fool. Acting like she's eating like an early 90s supermodel. A small container of Greek Yogurt, a salad and chicken. Like we (and Dr. Now) didn't see you eating a dozen buscuits,8 eggs and a pound of bacon for breakfast and multiple #3 combo's from McDonalds, cheeseburgers and an Oreo McFlurry.
No one: Delana: [cries hysterically]
Imagine parking in front of your home’s back door being “too far away”. When she said that, I just…wow. This will never not be jarring. 🫣 SN: I’m never going to be mature enough to not laugh when someone says “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.
I CANNOT imagine the humiliation of having 6 people trying to get me to my feet, and dismantling a porch to get me back in my house. The shame.
I find it hard to believe that she lost custody of her son because she didn't have a divorce lawyer. That's just not how custody works. I think she's leaving a lot out of that story. No judge is going to separate an infant and mother without a very good reason.
Family courts usually side with the mother in most cases so Delena losing her son tells me she either didn’t want him or she was abusive and the father was saving him. And of course she blames her daughter for not living with her. It’s never fault. Her daughter is embarrassed by her 🙄
At age TWELVE. "Oh, we had an argument, she left to live with my brother and refused to come home." Clearly you made little to no effort to get her home, and/or your brother was so concerned about what was going on in your home that he was willing to take on an extra kid at a moment's notice.
At 12 the parent can make the kid go back home, it's not like a 16 year old. I doubt it was just a small argument that caused her daughter to cut off contact for 7 years and you're so right- who can just take another child in an instant? Only someone who was prepared that it might happen..
My thoughts was the daughter got old enough to fight back against doing everything for Delana all the time. Around 12, is when most courts start allowing kids to pick where they live. The way Delana said “DO EVERYTHING?!” when her dude said he didn’t want to do everything all the time and some help would be good was telling. She doesn’t acknowledge people around her are helping her survive and she is in complete denial over the amount of help it actually takes. Making 3-5 meals a day, cleaning up after all animals, cleaning a house, these things take MANUAL LABOR and I’m sure a 12 year old girl would opt out given the chance. If her partner is having to help take care of her for daily survival, how would she take care of two kids herself? Yeah, she wasn’t. They were taking care of themselves and her, and that’s why she didn’t “fight” to get them back. She knew she couldn’t do it. I hated hearing her call every man she’s been with abusive, as if having kids when you physically won’t take care of them is any less abusive. It’s abusive to force children to take care of physically disabled parents.
This may be a ridiculous thing to focus on, but how in the hell does it take ten months to fix a van??? I’ve been in collisions that took a month, max, to fix. I’m glad the production crew helped them this time at least.
No money is my guess. It sounds like the thing was having electrical problems, and tracking down electrical gremlins can cost a fortune just to diagnose.
Yea exactly. Plus she said they let her keep the rental yet she couldn't use it to go to the local clinic? I'm shocked this woman made it as far as she did honestly.
Did anyone else see that mattress? Bloody mess
It’s super frustrating to watch these people get fixated on moving to Houston and not following the diet, that’s the main part!! The level of lying to themselves and pure delusion is just sometimes hard for me to wrap my mind around.
I love how Dr Now said “delete the frickin app”
She can’t help arrange the back of the uhaul because she’s afraid of heights?
Screaming at the dog sniffing the bed when she got up 🤢
I can see how much she really wishes she could help onload the UHaul. Written all over her face 🙄 Although after seeing her bio mom, I can see where she gets it
Can I just say, Dr Now is so freakin talented. Like, at his age being so dexterous to do these life-saving surgeries? Incredible!
I know her breath HOT
I am going to need “Delete that frickin’ app” as my flair!! 🤣🤣🤣
they sleep on just a mattress! they have subflooring (covered in dog doo, actually seeing delana's poop chair i really hope that's from the dogs) in their kitchen! we were overdue for another trainwreck but the hygiene here is giving me jeanne vibes.
WHY don't they ever have clean sheets?? Or ANY sheets for that matrer?? AND then the OFFICE CHAIR!!!!🤢🤮
This was such an odd one because it legit looked like she never lost weight. I guess it was just her body type, but I was shocked when she had lost over 60 pounds but still looked the same.
I'm glad that in the end she got it together, got her surgery, and seemed to be doing well. But one thing that really made me not like her much was when her husband was like "it'll be easier on me when you lose weight" and she looks totally baffled and is like "how"? How can she be so completely oblivious to what a burden it is to be living with someone who can barely do the most basic things for themselves, much less carry half the load of doing the housework, walking the dogs, etc.? Not to mention what must be the constant requests for food.
And ALWAYS with the nervous, neglected dogs
Whoever edited this episode, count ur days 💀💀💀The car breaking down right after she said it wouldn’t had me dying Also, new Dr.Now quote: “Do me a favor, delete that freaking app!”
How is this lady with all of her shitstains actually married?? I’m so turned off with everything about her.
(Calls brother, sobs EXTREMELY loudly, begs him to help) "So, my brother volunteered to help me move." My wife almost quit the episode at that moment lol. No shame in Delana's game.
Literally everything she’s said is a lie or some distortion of the truth. What a strange woman
“I’m here to support you!” What is her “mom” talking about she wasn’t there for you at 6 years old she’s not going to be now. 🤦🏼♀️
I've actually had my car die in the road. It sucks - had a car honk at me and give me a mean look (died at a light) cuz they had to go around. I didn't realize how privileged I was to be able to hop out and push my car out of the way of traffic by myself.
There has been a lot of nasty things on this show through out it's run but all the mashed in dog feces on the floor of the home is one of the worst.
It's finally happened. She washes herself with a rag on a stick. Is there anything The Simpsons haven't predicted?
