The Plot Thickens

Baby Fat (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 4, Episode 3, Part 1 Recap)

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!  

Immaculate Misconception (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 4, Episode 2, Part 2 Recap)

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?

Immaculate Misconception (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 4, Episode 2, Part 1 Recap)

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! 

Knocked Up? (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 4, Episode 1, Part 2 Recap)

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!  

Knocked Up? (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 4, Episode 1, Part 1 Recap)

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! 

The Skinny, Part 2 (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 11, Part 2 Recap)

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? Or will she just get confused? Then we've got a not-so-epic rap battle between Whit and Babs that ends in a stalemate. Whit also comments on what she thinks is to come in Season 4 - now that Lennie gave her some confessions about his enduring feelings for her, who knows what will happen next season? 

The Skinny, Part 2 (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 11, Part 1 Recap)

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 whether Lennie's worth a second chance. We catch up on some "never-before-seen" footage as well, which sheds light (meh, not really) on the relationship between Whit and Lennie. We also learn who else might be jonesing after Roy - we'll give you a hint, she's a jungle cat and she's not who you'd expect! 

The Skinny (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 10, Part 2 Recap)

This episode covers The Skinny, the summary episode that we love to hate! We’ve not never-before-seen clips, like Whit humping the snow on the ground (why?), Lennie saying he’d be ok with Whitney buying her own engagement ring (ew…) and more! We also recap the St. Paddy’s Day Parade, where audience members (allegedly) say they’ve never seen a fat leprechaun, Caitie threatening to take over BGDC, and Lennie poorly guessing Whit’s favorite pizza toppings (sausage and “pepp” anyone?). Stay til the end of a big surprise - Lennie’s coming back post-breakup and he’s got some words for Whit! 

The Skinny (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 10, Part 1 Recap)

This episode, Whit is recounting some of her favorite moments from Season 3! It's The Skinny! This year we've got a brand new host who's not shy about digging into some of our burning questions - does Whit really think she can be fat and fit at the same time? Did Whit and Buddy ever have a connection beyond friendship? And will Lennie try to work his way back into Whitney's heart post-breakup? All those questions and more get answered, and thank god we've got a couch full of co-stars to go through it with! 

Big Fat Breakup (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 9, Part 2 Recap)

It’s the night of the big dance competition! This episode has us questioning everything - where will Whitney and Todd fall in the pecking order of dancers in the competition? Are Whit and Lennie going to be ok? Is Roy interested in Whitney as more than just a friend? Is Whitney ever going to climb those elusive stairs? Will it be enough to win Will back as a trainer? Tune in today to find out because we’ve got the answers to all these questions and more!
