    I'm sure whoever it was who was overweight in your home /family while you were "growing up"is so proud of you for being so empathetic . & while you "growing up" ? You think you're"grown" with your attitude? Idk bc to me it sounds like you still got some more of that to do. A lot more.

    She has lost weight in real life. Do the research. She's lost a significant amount of weight and she's padded this season.

      I bet the real reason why they have not showed her in the flash forwards i because the producers are waiting for Kate's actor to lose the wait so she can be like "Sorry I'm late" in the flash forwards and be like super in shape and stuff (LOL). I heard rumors that Toby's actor was wearing a fat suit (like a Sumo suit I guess) that made him look fatter. I think Kate's actor will use the suit for herself to appear fat.

    why has Miguel said nothing? he lives with her and instead of just sitting there watching why not say something to Randall. Miguel sees that randall is seeing the problem.

      He's not too impressive as a character, nothing to grab on to.

    I bet Kevin will get engaged to Cassidy, and Kate and Toby will argue for a bit but then forgive and forget after some incident.

    As for the future flashbacks, I have a theory too. I bet Kevin and Randall will get in a big argument when Randall takes their mom to the doctor, or something like that. Randall will be like: "She's not well." and Kevin will be like: "She's fine! Leave her alone." But then I bet Randall will blurt out: "I'm the only child who's ever taken care of her; I'm her son, you were just born by her!" And I bet Kevin (and Kate?) will be really offended by this. We didn't see Randall at the birthday party and not Kevin and Kate; it was the other way around. I think it was this or something else that Randall did to cause turmoil between these triplets, and judging based on the last two episodes we saw, it's more than likely that the mom (Rebecca) will take Kevin and Kate's side. As you know, Rebecca is very "I got this". I suppose there will be a fifth season, maybe a sixth, and then out.

    It really doesn't matter why they are not talking cause we all have seen Kate laying in bed and everyone is at Kevin's home. It will work out as usual 🙂

    Kevin probably knocked up Cassidy. I want more Deja and Shauna story lines and more Griffin Dunne. (Where were Malik and his family? I thought they were invited to the Thankstaking.) Wonder if Kate leaves Toby for acting like such a smarmy smug a-hole.

      The girl Kevin is having a baby with is Shauna, Dejas Mom. That is why him and Randall are not talking. They met Thanksgiving dinner and bam 9 months later, pregnant.

      No. that won't happen....I'm so sure. I think Kevin and Kate get very angry with Randall because he doesn't tell them about their mom. I might even go further and say Kevin used the "I'm the real son" card? He didn't sleep with Shauna.

      I think it might be the other way around - Randall noticed it, she later confirms it with him (couldn't recall the movie) and they decide to make the appointment - Kevin might take issue that the "not real son" is the one she "turned to" - maybe it's not her but them that is creating the separation - all I know is this storyline is most likely going to end my viewing days... I watch tv to escape that reality for a short time -

    I wonder if she will have an inoperable brain tumor

    It’s definitely Cassidy he knocked up who else he was talking about at the end of the finale he was obviously speaking about Cassidy the stranger he met connect the dots people it’s Cassidy my gut and the sign is obvious

    I bet she'll die on the final episode of the show.

    In the last cheatsheet it mentioned Kevin's "new" person, so I suppose it's not anyone he's been with before. We might consider that someone could be having a dream and that what we've seen may not be "real" at all. Mandy mentioned earlier that it's not dementia or alzheimers. So then, what is it? And are we prepared ( or moreso, is the show prepared) for her death? I don't think so.

      Mandy mentioned that on a cheat sheet

    I doubt Kevin would use the "I'm the real son" card. After all they've been through and including that one episode when Kate said that "she was the only one to pass on a piece of their dad", I doubt Kevin would say that. (Read my theory to learn my idea.)

      Kevin may not say it outright, but it might be implied like "Why dd she tell YOU? "

    I like him as a character. Maybe the episode where Kevin and Cassidy get married is when we see a flashback of Miguel and Rebecca's wedding.

    I'm not an insulter of overweight people as I grew up with the problem in someone in my home, but Chrissy Metz is not overweight. She is really morbidly obese, it's kind of freaky. She no longer has a neck or a chin. This would cause a break up in any relationship, or it would force a crisis. She's just not going to lose the weight in real life...so there's no choice but to cut the issue into the plot!!
