Has anyone noticed how many of the husbands and boyfriends do not drive. I was just watching Dottie squeezing herself in the driver's seat and her husband Chris sitting in the passengers seat. The same for Lupe and her boyfriend. Maybe I missed it in another thread. I would think it would be very dangerous for someone over 600 lbs. to be driving.
shareMaybe TLC has them drive so we can see how difficult it is for them to get into a driver's seat.
shareI don't think Christina's then-husband, Zack, drove either. I thought it might be because they didn't have a car and Christina's parents weren't going to allow him to drive theirs.
I also noticed Gilbert (Lupe's boyfriend) didn't drive and I believe it was Lupe's niece that drove them to Texas.
That doesn't seem like a life that any of those men would want especially at such a young age. It might be different if they were in their 50s or 60s. Christina's husband acted as if he liked the part of being her caregiver when Dr. Now asked what did he do for a job. He proudly said his job was looking after Christina.
Lupe is married to Gilbert.

I was wondering that too. It had to be very uncomfortable as well as dangerous the way Dottie squeezed into the driver's seat.

In some cases it could be that they might lose their disability if they have too many assets. For the ones that have decent vehicles, maybe they aren't on disability at all, maybe they do work. I know it's fun to bash them for being disabled for something they do to themselves but the truth is it's all just speculation. Nobody truly knows where most of them get their money. I'd say a lot of them are but not all of them.
shareWith the kind of cars many of them drive I'm guessing the show is leasing them. Most of these people don't work and the boyfriends, girlfriends, wives & husbands also aren't working a 9-5 job because they mention it. Notice -not all- but many of them look new. I can't speak for all the states but in this area they don't count assets for people who get public assistance & SSI. They sure don't do it if you get a disability check from paying in Social Security when employed.

I want to know if TLC provides them with the vehicles. They drive several different cars during the episode and they always seem way out of their price range.

It makes me wonder why the show paid for only a Hyundai Sonata for Lupe's trip from California to Texas instead of a van. Dr Now even said that she almost died because of it.

When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass.
I had posted a few times how - like with their cars - once they get to Houston some are living in really nice apartments or homes, and others appear to be living in public housing.
Joe and his mother looked like they were living in government housing and in Pauline and her sons episode they were living in a really nice apartment complex. I don't know how they determine who gets what type of car and where their housing will be in Houston.
I don't think Lupe and her husband had a car in Houston because her husband complained about having to walk so far to go grocery shopping. In the newest episode Ashley's husband Daniel didn't have a driver's license. She didn't say why unless I missed it. Ashley had a really nice car but I wondered why she would have a car she could barely get in and out of without the horn honking because her stomach was mashing up against it. Some of the things on this show make absolutely no sense to me.

that was pretty crazy last night when her belly beeped the horn but she had the biggest belly I have ever seen on this show, her mother was such an enabler, I wouldnt want someone this obese driving me around, as dr now said, she could die at any minute.
shareThe show must lend them the cars and rent the apartments in Houston for them.

A lot of these husbands/boyfriends aren't exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to significant others. They often don't work, nor even have licenses, and it's quite common for them to be on the lower end of the intelligence scale. I'm sure that some of them really do care, but others are simply there because they know that they can get a free ride, as they know that the women don't exactly have a bevy of men to choose from.
Time wounds all heels.
Ashley looked very pretty after her makeover. I have a feeling once she gets down to her ideal weight and Dr. Now does her skin surgery to get rid of her stomach she will be like a new woman. She has a sweet personality, seems intelligent, has a job, and her own car. It won't be long before Daniel will be history.
shareAgreed. This happens quite often, as we have seen with follow ups and such. The old BFs or husbands are gone once the women start to feel better about themselves and feel that they have more worth and don't need to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
