    Season 13 aired in 2009, so it’s been 16 years IRL, but I don’t think that matters for the time jump.

    Bobby was what, 12, 13 when the first run finished? Also, did they say how long they were in Saudi Arabia? If Bobby’s 21, and they were there 10 years, they’d have had to have left when he was 11 which doesn’t check out.

    But I did wonder about the aging. Boomhaur looks like shit but he also tans a lot, so that makes sense. Dale looks almost exactly the same, but he’s kind of a basement-dweller/opposite of Boomhaur, so I guess that makes sense.

    There’s no way Bill dropped his shut-in weight that fast, but I’ll let it slide. He should definitely be graying though.

    Peggy, Kahn, Minh, and Nancy, and the Wassanasongs all look about right, IMO.

    Hank, though, doesn’t look like he aged a day.

      People can age radically differently from one another. I smoked for 20+ years, still look better than most of my graduating class, no more wrinkles than anyone else, and mostly fewer. My wife’s Asian, no wrinkles, perfectly smooth everywhere, maybe a dozen gray hairs. I was carded for tobacco and alcohol well into my 40s. At 55, we both have all factory original teeth and hair.

      Then there were the guys losing their hair and getting fat in their 30s. Don’t go on FB anymore, but I was shocked at so many of us turned out in our 40s. 🤷🏻
