The Plot Thickens

We’ve got a whirlwind episode today for you - Todd and Whit are still “doing New York” and things are ramping way up with the Fitness Marshall’s Dance Concert Experience! While Whitney is usually the one to go down during a tough cardio workout (à la Danceathon pass-out), Todd is turning the tables as the one who’s out of commission this episode! The Fitness Marshall is pushing everyone to the bri...

In this episode, Whitney travels with Todd to New York City so she can attend a dance workshop with The Fitness Marshall, a hardcore dance/cardio instructor who loves big moves and big personalities! Whit and Todd have been watching the Fitness Marshall for ages, and are hoping to gain some inspiration for the Dance Competition with Jiya (Round II) which is coming up. But will Whit be able to cut...

Today’s episode is a combination of revelations and brand new, daring experiences! Whit is risking it all for love and dance as she heads into an aquarium date with Nathan where he’s promised to reveal something that he “needs to tell her” - get ready because it’s definitely not what anyone would see coming! We’re also tuning into Daliana’s dance crew, a lesson in belly dancing that Whit takes to...

On today's episode, Whit is going "belly up" for belly dancing! She's joining Daliana, who made her first appearance on the show as one of the judges on the Big Girl Dance Battle, at her belly dancing studio to draw inspiration for the dance battle rematch! Whit also continues to question her date with Nathan, a country boy who has two teenage kids and seems polite and kind, but might not be light...

This episode we're unpacking a LOT - not only are we harkening back to the days of the Kids' Cruise to Lose (aka No Body Shame at Sea) and seeing if any of you queens have been on the cruise, but we're also jumping into Whitney's first date post-Lennie with a true country boy named Nathan! Nathan's got something special worked out for his date with Whitney (that the producers definitely did not pi...

This episode is a mishmash of many topics! First,  Whit gets ready to take some fresh photos with the bomb lighting for her online dating profile - she’s trying to show off all her best - ahem - assets without coming on too strong. With help from Tal, Whit is throwing together her dating profile and trying to reel in some fish - but if she gets a bite too soon, is that a red flag? Whit and Tal piv...

The battle is on and all bets are off as Whit and the gang head to UNCG to battle with Jiya and her crew of Trophy Wives! Both teams come with surprises up their sleeves, but one team really pulls out the big guns - adorable little kids who also know how to drop it low - to the FLO'! Will Whit's moves and her team's drumsticks be sufficient to face off against Jiya? Or is there just too much heat...

We're finally gearing up for the dance battle of the century - and don't forget, it's North Carolina's first official dance battle! Both BGDC and Trophy Wife Fitness are prepping for the dance battle between Gia and Whitney, while the tension rises. For the Big Girls, this promises to be the most intense performance of their lives, but they come with some extra tools in their tool belts - drumstic...

This week, we’ve got another crazy episode for you with a brand new crazy celebrity guest - dance choreography expert to the stars (or at least our kind of stars such as the ones from Dance Moms fame) JENZI! Jenzi may be in the “land of the trees” (or that’s how she sees Greensboro, anyway) but she’s not taking kindly to the BBQ - even with Greensboro being the BBQ capital of the world according t...

With the dance battle looming, Whitney pulls out all the stops and brings in choreographer Jenzi, a wild and unpredictable star of the dance world who is a viral sensation. Jenzi's cutthroat methods, including her screams of "BOOM - CAH!" upset the class - but will her unsavory tactics make Whit's Big Girls (and boys, who Jenzi remembers as "cute, but unmemorable") stronger, securing victory, or w...

This week is a landmark episode for a number of reasons: not only does Hillary Clinton, legend and queen, call into the Maney, Roy and LauRen show, which is absolutely mind blowing, Whit experiences her own version of “girl power” the likes of which she’s never seen! You might recall that last week, Whit’s high school friend (and infamous banana bread baker) Amanda came on the scene and bumped int...

The rumors (the ones about Whit being engaged, anyway) are TRUE! It feels like only a couple of months ago that Whit introduced us to her mystery man, Jake. Now they're going to be married! Jake proposed during a hike with a beautiful Aquamarine ring! We don't know the significance yet, but we do know there's a story there and we're reporting everything we've seen online, including some crazy rumo...

On this episode of The Plot Thickens, we're recapping Whit running into an old friend from high school who invites her to go horseback riding. But is there a horse big enough for Whit to ride, she wonders! And will Whit's horseback riding adventure turn into something of a Brokeback Mountain situation? Babs also plans a big surprise for Glenn for their 39th anniversary - we know how these two love...

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 weigh...

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...

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 reali...

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 t...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 a...

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...

FINALLY we are FINISHED with The Skinny - but don't worry - we're polishing it off and eating every last morsel up for your enjoyment and listening pleasure! Finally, we're bringing comedian Kerrin Feehan onto the love seat to discuss her views about fat people, and SPOILER ALERT: they haven't changed since her episode! Kerrin shows up rough and tumble and ready for a fight. But will she get it? O...

This week on The Skinny, we're dealing with some discomfort. There's not only the looming question of whether Whit and Lennie will rekindle their romance next season, but there's also the question of whether a workplace romance is lingering in the not-so-distant background. While Whit contends with some stunning confessions (Lennie still has feelings for her, Roy - not so much), she must decide wh...
