I’m catching up with these on TLCgo. I thought there was going to be a second episode about Jennifer when she got the surgery with about five minutes left. No — so much worse. What a shame that she got religion about her health just a little too late. If she’d pursued surgery just one year earlier, she might have been getting the lymphedema removed around the time it killed her. She did so well surpassing the weight loss goal in the very first month. Her prognosis seemed so positive! What a shame. She was exactly my age.

Color me shocked when they toasted “mazel” and I saw the Star of David tattoo on Brent’s arm. I do not expect working-class people from small towns in Georgia to be Jews. Nor people named LeFevre, or people on weight-loss reality shows, or truck show enthusiasts. They were breaking a lot of stereotypes about my people there. I wonder what the backstory is — are one or both of them converts? How long has the family been in Hinesville?
