The Plot Thickens

As we move between Season 1 and Season 2 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, we’re treating our listeners to something special and different: our Duggars bonus series! We know the TLC family rolls deep, and if you love (to hate) all things WWT, you most likely have also (hate) watched the Duggar family and their cultish outlook and lifestyle. We’ve got a bunch of episodes jam-packed with content and background you’ve never heard before! Next week, we’ll be back with Season 2 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life!

Well, finally, we're at the TRUE end of Season 1 and what a wild season it's been! Obviously, the heroine (and America's Mom) of MBFFL is Babs Thore, the queen of red nails and red lips! But will some fresh lipstick and a shot at Whitney's Big Girl Dance Class be enough to bring Babs out of a three-week-long funk from getting into a scary car accident? Or will Babs be clutching her pillow and lurking at the screen door for good? Hopefully Whit won't worsen Babs' condition by throwing any more heavy objects directly at her face! 

Well, well, well. We're finally on the last episode of season 1. How did we get here, y'all? In celebration, we're treating you to a FULL version of the Whitney Way Thore Fabulous Life Anthem to start off the episode - it's become our favorite song and we hope you all feel the same! This episode has Babs front and center - she's fresh off a very scary car accident involving a black-out and skid down a hill (embankment). Babs is unharmed, but mentally shaken. What will it take to bring her back to her BABulous self? We'll give you a hint: it comes in many shades, and it's one of the two things Babs is known for! 

This week’s episode may be called “the skinny” but don’t worry, it’ll be a long time before Whitney discovers the fountain of youth and weight loss stemming from Novo Nordisk. This episode is framed as a season-closing tell-all where Whitney sits down for an interview with one of her producers. While Whit may have been this episode’s intended focus, we couldn’t keep our eyes off the producer, who has been involved in other freak shows like “Dr. Pimple Popper” and “Thousand Pound Sisters.” Our question to him is whether he ever saw Whitney Way Thore’s success coming, and how quickly she asked for his digits after the interview wrapped. 

Hard to believe we're already on episode 9! Even harder to believe is the fact that Whit talks so much about leaving the nest but never does. We've got a jam packed episode for you this week - Whit gets an EXTREMELY serious diagnosis of pre-diabetes, for one. Unsurprisingly, Babs and Glenn act like it's the end of the world. Whit goes on house tours with Buddy in hopes that they'll start living together - but don’t worry, that won’t be awkward at all! Finally, Whitney choreographs some Zumba for a breast cancer benefit. Will she crack under pressure (and back/butt pain) or will she "rock her curves the best" and pad her portfolio? 

You’ve heard of double-blind experimentation but have you ever heard of a double blind date? This week, Whitney is roping Ashley into a blind date, double date, and online date, all rolled into one. But if you thought anything about this was going to be normal, think again! Whitney has once again pulled Ashley into a world of trouble… And she’s done it by impersonating her online! But there’s only one small problem: Whitney completely forgot to provide any identifying information about Ashley and somehow – shockingly – ended up giving her own life story instead! Tune in and hear how this Poorly executed double date ends!

Well there's one thing we know about Whitney when she sets her mind to something - she'll not only do it, but she'll make everyone pay, including her friends. When Whitney is asked by a fan to choreograph a wedding dance (a solo dance for all we know, which... yikes), she drops everything (BGDC, BGDC and BGDG) to do it. But when tensions rise and the bride gets cold feet, will Whit fold under pressure or keep the rhythm? Will her swollen feet keep her from performing or will she tap dance her way to the top with a beer in one hand and a phone in the other? Tune in now to find out!

While her parents prepare for their big wedding anniversary, Whit entertains the idea of a fling with an old friend. In fact, for reasons, we don’t really understand, Whit invites her old friend to the anniversary party to “reconnect“ with Babs and Glenn. But will trouble brew when Buddy appears? It all depends on whether you focus on who he brought to the anniversary party… Join in for all the drama, romance and love triangles - even if they are only happening inside Whitney’s head!

This week, Whit and her BFF Ashley "do" the beach! But don't worry, this isn't a "Debbie Does Dallas" situation. Whit claims that she hasn't been to the beach for between 19-20 years and since she was between 100-114 lbs (can never get a straight figure from her). Will Whit crumble under the pressure of having a bikini body? Or will she "rock her curves the best" and flick those haters off her toe?
