Back in the Room of Delicious Crap, the Blue Team members are starting to really get freaked out. And Bob has left them to go Skype with Biingo. He lets Biingo know that he's sending out a pediatrician and childhood obesity expert named Dr. Joanna. She's also a nutritionist, and Bob wants Biingo (and, by extension, the other kids) to listen to her very closely. And then we follow Dr. Joanna as she visits all the kids. First she asks Biingo what he does at home (play video games) and for how many hours (NINE). His mother clarifies that he can only play for nine hours per day on the weekend. Oh, okay. During the week, he plays for a measly five. I have to say I feel a little bad for the parents of these kids, who are probably completely stressed about the judgment of the entire country that will be foisted upon them. Well, that's what happens when you let your kids be raised by a stick of salami.
Biingo acknowledges that he eats while playing video games, and Dr. Joanna says that when you're not concentrating on what you're eating, you eat 25% more calories than when you're sitting at the dinner table. As someone who has eaten whole boxes of Girl Scout Cookies while recapping this stupid show, I concur. Dr. Joanna then tells Biingo that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of screen time a day. Biingo is clearly not thrilled with this news, but agrees to cut down on the video games. He doesn't specifically commit to two hours, because he is sly like that.
