The Plot Thickens

Burning Love (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 16 Recap)

This week, Whitney’s hoping to take her relationship to the next level - and Babs tells her that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach (not his loins, as Whitney previously thought)! So what better way to get Lennie into her heart and her bedroom than to whip up something delicious - but what’s cookin’ in Whit’s kitchen? Will it be feast or famine; delicious or detestable; fabulous or needing a fire extinguisher? 

Big Girls Summer Showcase (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 15 Recap)

We’re pulling out BIG stops this week - and we mean BIG stops, because it’s the summer showcase for Greensboro Dance Theater and Whitney and her Big Girls have been invited to participate. Whitney may have punted the solo to Lauryn, but the pressure is anything but off. She still needs to tighten up the BGDC’s choreography to La Danza, and they’ve got a long way to go. Everything looks like it might work out until an outfit malfunction threatens to cause injury at work and serious embarrassment at best! Will Whitney and the girls hold their heads (and skin headbands) high and slay the house down? Or will poor Lauryn buckle under the pressure of the event (and her sarong, which is anything but sa-right)? Tune in to find out!  

No Body Shame (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 14 Recap)

We've got just what you wanted this week - another episode entitled "No Body Shame" in case y'all didn’t already get the point last time! Whit's on a mission to make "No Body Shame" a household campaign - not just for fat women, but for people of all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds. But will her mission end in success, or will the costs, financial and otherwise, be too much to bare? Tune in now and listen! https://www.instagram.com/the_plot_thickens_pod/?hl=en

Not Your Mama's Cat Show (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 13 Recap)

Henchi-Mayne, the Beast from the East is headed to the cat competition with his coaches, Whit and Babs. Prepare yourselves FUR REAL for an absolute furball of fun - and nerves! But don’t be a scaredy cat! Henchi is FELINE good and there’s no way Whit will let this competition end in CATastrophe. Will the judges think Henchi is just purrfect? Or will Babs and Whit’s efforts be more HISSterical? Tune in to get in on the CLAWsome fun!

A Muse in the Nude (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 12 Recap)

This week, Whit is taking her No Body Shame Campaign to the next level - aka, she's taking it to level 1, because the campaign was formerly just a blog and a hashtag. We're starting on the journey to make merch of all kinds splashed with the NO BS logo that Whitney devised herself - a stunning blend of hearts, ballsacks, and words that don't seem to connect. Whitney may not have a logo that's not on notepaper and she may not have an actual plan for what NO BS can do for the Grasshoppers, but she's going forward with a business meeting regardless! 

Fighting the Scale (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 11 Recap)

This week, the scale is Whitney's nemesis. Though we aren't quite sure what she thought would happen when she dragged her scale into the kitchen to weigh herself in front of Buddy... did she think she'd be down a huge amount and be able to do a victory lap? Regardless, Whit's 10-pound uptick on the scale has her feeling some type of way - i.e., PISSED. After she sees the numbers, she starts a fight with Buddy, has a horrible workout with her trainer, and misses Glenn's long-awaited return to Tae Kwon Do. Will Whitney stay curled up in her "nap spot" eating a gallon of Ben & Jerry's? Or will she make up with Buddy and get her butt over to the Dojo on time to see Glenn back in black (or purple)? 

First Day on the Job (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 10 Recap)

We've finally reached the big day - it's Whit's first day working for the Greensboro Grasshoppers and she's coming up against some seemingly insurmountable obstacles - she's got to wear khaki shorts, for one! And for another, the stadium just has SO MANY STAIRS. What's a girl to do? Sit and cry on the training table? Or get up, show out, and make a great first impression, even while looking totally nude from the waist down? 

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? 

5K Run (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 7 Recap)

This week we’re recapping an old classic - the Penguin 5k! Can y’all believe it’s been this long since Glenn and Whit “ran” to save the penguins… of the world? We sure can’t! 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!
