A scam to test the Average Joes: Larissa goes out for the day and in her absence the Joes are questioned by her overweight Mom who later reveals herself to them as Larissa in a fat-suit, prosthetics, contact lenses, new teeth and a wig. This was almost identical to the gag pulled on the Joes by Melana Scantlin in the original Average Joe: apparently both series were filmed before the first one was transmitted
If you compare this image of Larissa’s Mom ready for her unmasking with the completed makeup when she interviewed the Joes you will see that for this scene they skipped the contact lenses, eyebrows and (I think) the teeth. You can also see Larissa’s lifecasting and makeup application.
Michael Burnett (Michael Burnett Productions) was responsible for this makeup.
