600 POUND LIFE THE ASSANTI BROTHERS

catlover — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 23:58:24 GMT

Where do we begin with this one???

I'm half way through watching and I can not believe what I'm seeing.

What is wrong with these 2 and the father?????

The 800 pound brother, Steven is atrocious and the 600 pound brother does not think he needs help.

Dr Now threw his sorry ass out of the hospital for abusing the staff and all his crying and begging did not make the Dr change his mind.....

This is the 1st episode that is 2 parts..........

The one who is Dr. NOWZARDEN's patient is a real piece of work. The dad and both sons are certified nut cases. TLC struck pure gold when they found this family. They could spend the whole season on just them.

Totally disgusting, what a waste of resources. The father ordering pizza to be delivered to a hospital bed- it is mind boggling.

My sis and I watched this last night. OMG! TLC *did* strike gold with this messed up family.

That Steven is the most obnoxious, nasty piece of work I've seen on this show EVER. And Justin is just kidding himself.

And the father...don't get me started. He left his kids with an alcholic, abusive mother when he walked out. Nice, dad, real nice. I'm guessing their childhoods are a big part of their problems and therapy would help immensely. Of course NONE of them would ever admit to needing it!

I watched a small part of it. The biggest brother looked like he was wearing a soiled diaper.

I was trying to figure out what he was wearing. What is that? I would like to know when the conclusion will be aired.

My husband can't understand how I can watch this show. I just can't look away!

That episode was clearly a trainwreck. The father is probably the worse enabler ever. He's got some fire in him too. He checked and shut down the younger son when told him what he was doing was wrong by enabling Steven. I think the father can be mean.

Steven is very creepy. He was leering at the camera when the nursing staff was washing him up. Yuck.

Next week will be quite interesting.

I can't thing of anything positive to say ... I only saw the last 45 minutes that was enough for ME to put down that brownie!!!!

Not really - wonder why TLC doesn't let you know what the outcome is, wasn't there a episode on the week before with the same issues (he had a enabler gf)?

very sad and addict to both painkillers & food😱

What this Steven needs is to be left to lay in his own filth and leave him there to fend for himself....a wake up call of sorts. Bring him nothing....no food, nothing. It seems "helping " him is doing no good.

This post is one of the funniest I have seen in a long time. I watched the show and was so disgusted by the behavior of the one in the hospital , I had to keep watching to see what happened. It was just gross. Good for the doc for putting him in his place and removing him from the hospitals. If I had been one of the nurses I would have been fired as I would have let fly with a few expletives not for print here.

@homedecor1 They all have enablers. They have to as they can't get out to get food by themselves. Some are too big to fit into a car.

These people are so huge and gross when they show them without clothing, you can't even identify their body parts.

I just saw this thread about them and wanted to let all of you know that a few of us are posting on the other thread "600 lb. life" if you want to join in.

If you google just his name, you will find a lot of info on him. He was on Dr. Phil back in 2007.

He's an "attention getter" IMO and what a waste of taxpayer's $.

What about Steven's trip from R.I. to Houston!!!! He actually broke the bed in the medical unit and they had to get concrete blocks to hold him up.! And every two hours he made everyone stop so he could eat. And EAT - that baby did EAT!

Steven had that little habit of bossing everyone around and telling them everything they should do for him.

When donkeys fly....

When they showed Steven eating a burger & fries during the trip, it was nauseating to watch. He's just downright repulsive & seems to revel in it.

I noticed the folks who had the delightful chore of washing him had on masks, so I bet he smelled real fragrant! Gah!

I live in RI-a few miles from where these brothers live. I remember reading in the local paper when Steven was thrown out of RI Hospital for ordering pizza delivery--that was in 2015. Waiting to watch Part 2--just to find out what happened to these guys. Very bizarre family...and getting paid for it! Just found out he has some crazy videos on youtube!
