The Plot Thickens

As usual, we’ve got a fun new episode for you this week! Whit is standing “ten toes” in her drama with Jiya, the owner of Trophy Wife Fitness, a competing dance crew to BGDC. But is it, really? Because Trophy Wife Fitness has an emphasis on FITNESS while BGDC really emphasizes the confidence building factor of dance. We also loop back with Buddy, who finally might be committing to taking his weight loss goals seriously, thanks to some gentle urging from Heather. Finally, in an ultimate twist of fate (and Whit’s rivalry with Jiya), Maney and Roy somehow talk Whit into a full blown dance battle - BGDC vs. Trophy Wife Fitness! But first, Whit will have to figure out what a dance battle is, because allegedly she’s never heard of one. 

The rivalry between BGDC and the Trophy Wife Fitness girls is ON like Donkey Kong, and Whitney is attending rival Jiya's dance class. But Jiya's class isn't a bed of roses or a pleasure cruise - it's a full blown intense workout! Will Whit crumble when her skills get tested? Or will Whit be able to shock Jiya and her Trophy Wives at how low she can go? Also, Whit and the gang prep for Jiya and her Trophy Wives to step onto the BGDC turf, where Whitney has a couple of tricks up her sleeve. But will the Trophy Wives take kindly to those tricks and appreciate the homage, or will they be offended and will this feel more like Bring it On than a guest feature at a new dance class? 

It's a rodeo on this episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life - but don't worry, we're going to save a horse and ride a Big Girl - and not just any Big Girl; a member of the BGDC! Whit and the girls are suiting up in their best cowgirl attire to dance at the Folk Festival. They've got to practice in front of a highway and the big day is finally here - but BOY HOWDY are they about to get a dose of reality when Jiya, a self-made, smart mouthed gal with her own dance crew comes calling. But before that, Whitney's Dress as a Drink party is finishing up, and we've got to wonder what possessed Lennie to bring a Bloody Mary? And by that we mean, why would he bring a date to his ex-girlfriend's party? We've also got a shopping interlude at an antique shop with Whit and Babs, and some serious discussion on keeping a man (and why Babs can and Whit can't). 

On today's episode, "producer" Whit's editing skills are put to the test when she turns in the final cut of her Pride interview piece. Will it be the "Kiss" of death? Or will she prove herself to the 95.1 team? Next, Whit only has two days (per usual) to prep the BGDC girls for the Folk Festival performance. How will Whit get the group (including "struggling" dancer Tal) up-to-speed in time? But the main attraction this episode - Whit's housewarming party! What do Little Orphan Annie, rapper Ice-T, and a donkey have in common? Tune in to find out!

In this episode, things are getting pretty gay - and don't worry, we mean that as a compliment (since Hilary Duff taught us right) because we're going to Charlotte, NC Pride, y'all! With Babs, Mattie, and Todd in tow, Whit's all ready for a gay old time! Whit's in the hot seat because she's trying to make content that can go on the Maney, Roy and LauRen show. She's doing "on the street" interviews and trying to get as many interesting answers as possible. Little does she know, there's something far more nefarious than bears, twinks or even platinum gays lurking and waiting for you, and it comes (unfortunately) straight (literally) from Philly. So sit back, relax and just remember not to talk and to only ask three questions! 

This episode, we’re covering some explosive moments - and we’re not just talking about the fit Glenn Thore throws when he finds out Whitney is pregnant. Maybe it wasn’t just finding out the special news, but it was the fact that Glenn Thore had to find out from none other than COUSIN ALEXIS?!? Oh, the humanity! If you’re going to spill some tea, serve Glenn a cup before you guzzle the whole thing yourself! But there’s one catch that might make Glenn feel a bit better - it’s the fact that Whit isn’t actually pregnant and she finds that out at the doctor this episode! What a relief! But how will Whitney tell Lennie, who’s actually surprisingly excited about the whole thing? Also, as our B story, (as in BUDDY story), Buddy starts his own workout regimen with Will. But whether he’ll stick to it or get fired just like Whit was remains to be seen!  

On today’s episode Whitney is flabbergasted. Not because she’s pregnant - nope, she’s finally in a place of acceptance about that. Whit’s breaking the news to the baby’s father, Lennie, who she “backslid” with after their breakup. When Lennie asks to see the positive pregnancy test, Whitney isn’t exactly thrilled at the implication that she could be lying. Does Lennie not believe her? And if Whit can deal with the reality of being knocked up at 370 lbs, why can’t Lennie accept the reality that he got her there? Was Whitney’s belief that Lennie would be accepting of the news and even maybe excited just an immaculate misconception?

This week, we’re recapping a big (pun intended) episode in MBFFL history - Whit confesses to none other than “Boo Bear” (her CURRENT best friend, Buddy) that she’s pregnant. Buddy doesn’t exactly take it how you’d think… Then the confession goes from 0-100 real quick when Maney, Roy and LauRen attempt to encourage Whit to take a pregnancy test LIVE on the air! Will Whitney do it? I mean, the show does come on super early in the morning so it’s not like Lennie (who we know loves to sleep in) would hear! But cousin Alexis might be another story…. Finally Buddy comes clean about his dissatisfaction with his weight. Whitney makes an interesting suggestion: she says Buddy should work out with Tal. Given their current status, a Buddy-Tal joint workout experience will certainly be interesting. Tune in now for all this and more! 

We ended Season 3 of MBFFL with a BANG - or was it a whimper on a couch between Whit and Lennie? Regardless, we're coming on really strong with Season 4 and no one is going to be disappointed! Because we're opening with a (the first of many) pregnancy scare that we did NOT see coming (this time around)! Whitney is feeling "nauseated" and can't even seem to keep food down these days - she's tired all the time and everything starts adding up to Heather, a two-time mom. Are Whit's symptoms a sign that she's pregnant? Or did she just poorly prep her Thai chicken from the night before? And we know that, since Whit hasn't been messing with anyone BUT Lennie, it must be his, so how will he react to the news that he's likely to be a DAD? The perfect episode for fathers day is HERE JUST IN TIME!  

This episode follows the newly single and newly BLONDE homeowner, Whitney! As is customary, just when all the things in Whitney’s life seem to be falling into place with her new home ownership and blonde ‘do, everything else falls spectacularly apart - Whit not only has a pregnancy scare that goes beyond just a missed period (she’s got the multiple pregnancy tests to prove it!) and she also works to balance the relationship with Buddy - who is now both her “buddy” and her tenant. Will Buddy finally sign a lease to show his commitment to staying in the house with Whit? Will Whit’s potential pregnancy lead to a rekindling between Whit and Lennie? Tune in and find out!
