The Plot Thickens

Little Big Girl Dance Class (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 9 Recap)

Whitney’s worn a lot of hats in her life - dancer, dancer, dancer and dancer, to name a few. But this week on the Plot Thickens, we’re seeing Whitney in a totally new role: teen therapist? No one could have seen this coming! But don’t worry; she still manages to make things 100% about her. Will Whitney’s counseling help the little girls in her Little Big Girl Dance Class to find their self esteem? Or will Whitney agree that Rylie really might break the monkey bars? Regardless, it turns out that the little girls are struggling with a lot of the same demons as Whitney did when she was called “Baby Beluga.” But don’t worry, we don’t point fingers and say that any of them has a “whale of a tail!”

Aloha 30 (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 8 Recap)

This episode, Whit says goodbye to 30 and hello to 31, but she's not doing it in the boring, usual way. She's saying "Aloha!" to BOTH! You might not know, but "aloha" means "hello" and "goodbye!" In any event, Whit is throwing a luau themed birthday party for herself and she's soliciting entertainment from the BGDC girls and a hula teacher all the way from... Charlotte! We had you going there, didn't we? And as if the hula performance wasn't stressful enough for Whit, her new boyfriend Lennie is coming to the party in a coconut bra, cowboy hat, and Hawaiian shirt. Will Lennie flounder when he's stuck alone with Babs and Glenn? Or will he wow them with his coconut bra, a telltale sign that he doesn't take himself too seriously?

Whit and Glenn are setting out on a 3.1 mile adventure to prove to Whitney and all her friends that she can do hard things, even at almost 400 lbs! But will the one, single practice walk Whit takes with Glenn be enough to prepare her for race day? Or will her feet slow her down as she heads for the finish line? Tune in to find out!

Do you think Whitney is going to embrace that GLP-1 lifestyle (aka, continue embracing the lifestyle, but finally tell the truth about it) on TV? Or will the show finally end, leaving us wanting more? Also - did Whit throw anyone else for a MASSIVE loop when she decided to actually move to Salem? Ashley wasn't the only one left wondering what hit her!
