Tammy's Hypothetical Vegas 'Trip' in Season 3
Still steadily doing my proper watch through of the show and I have to speak on this because it just…throws me for a loop lol, but in s3ep5 Tammy mentions to both Amy and Misty (I think, pretty sure it was those two) that she’s thinking about going to Vegas to visit her then-boyfriend Phillip/the BBW King. When she said this I was just like uh…mam??? HOW DO YOU PLAN ON DOING THIS?? Mind you, this was when she was still 650-ish and struggled with just walking from the house to the mailbox. The only way she got anywhere long distance at this time was on the floor of a specific van driven by either Michael or Chris, so…was she expecting one of them to take off work to drive her across the country from Kentucky to Nevada solely for the benefit of her ‘relationship’? I can’t imagine a plane would’ve even been an option for her at that point so…I’m just kinda lost lol, I really have no idea what she was thinking when she concocted that scheme or how she envisioned it happening, and that says absolutely nothing about what she planned to do when she got to Vegas in terms of getting around, taking care of her needs etc- was she intending for the BBW King to do that for her? Maybe Amy who’d probably come along if Michael drove? A part of me wishes she’d had an opportunity to go into more detail about what, in her mind, the specifics of that trip would look like, but it seems Amy and Misty wisely kinda brushed it off without challenging her on the details, as obviously it wasn’t going to happen.
But idk what do yall think? What do you think Tammy’s ‘plan’ for this was or if she even had any? I know the point is mostly moot because it never happened anyway, but still, inquiring minds want to know lmaoo.
Given her strong sense of entitlement I could absolutely see her assuming, at least, that Michael and/or Chris (and maybe Amy tagging along) would take off work to drive her across country for this, but I honestly don’t know if she got that far in planning or considered the logistics of the situation in any way before floating the idea to everyone.
