The Plot Thickens

The Lady on the Bus Goes Bye Bye Be (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 9 Recap)

Today’s episode has the potential to be Whitney‘s worst birthday yet… And that’s exactly how she planned it! Trust us, she can’t wait to see how crazed her friends are when she makes a very exciting announcement. But will everybody react with a “hell yeah, girl!“ like Whitney is hoping? Or will they react completely normally, like people who aren’t totally obsessed with whit’s *journey*? Todd makes his solo talking head debut this season - but we’re still worried about his status. Todd: blink twice if you’re being held captive in Whitney’s attic! Also, if you thought the road trips were over, you were wrong! Prepare to head out on the world‘s longest, most awkward car ride ever, because the passenger in the backseat is not happy! And no, we’re not talking about Goosey!

The Cupboard Was Bare (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 8 Recap)

Whitney's returning to Salem this week to visit her bewitching new friends! But something is rotten in Denmark... and it's not what Whit is cooking up in her witch's cauldron! Jess starts to openly show signs of anger toward Whitney and her willingness to drop Greensboro - and her Greensboro friends - at the drop of a witch's hat. And what's going on with Jess and Isaiah's marriage? Whit starts looking at apartments in Salem, but totally ignores the fact that her potential new abode is between two throughways and might fall into the ocean. Will pregnancy roulette result in good news to Whitney (or one of the other girls in the roulette group)? Or will it be as bad of an idea as it seemed from the beginning? Tune in for answers to all these burning questions! 

The Town Mouse and Country Mouse (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 7 Recap)

This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re delving into all the worst things about Greensboro - from the perspective of everyone’s favorite Brit whose name no one can spell - Mabel! Whitney’s got Mabel in for the weekend and Mabel is pointing out everything that’s wrong with Greensboro - from the lack of men asking her out to the size to the nightlife. And don’t even get her started on the “theater district!” But will Whitney listen to Mabel and let her criticisms light à fire under her butt to move out? Or will Whitney get pregnant and decide to stick around with the only support system she has?

You're Witchy and You Know It (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 6 Recap)

Are you ready to get witchy with it? Because this episode, we're back in Salem, the witch capitol of the USA to get more insights into the creepy haunts and HAINTS, and all things spooky. But don't worry - we've got some new tea to spill about the feud between Tal and Buddy - and trust us, it ain’t pretty but you're going to want to stop by and listen. 

Round the Cauldron Go (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 5 Recap)

Round and round the cauldron go; where it stops, no one knows! Welcome to the witchiest episode we've had thus far of my Big Fat Fabulous Life! Whitney and her squad of incredibly unrelated individuals are headed to SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS to set spells, meet ghosts, and hopefully catch a HAINT! 

Rockabye Maybe (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 4 Recap)

This week, we’re finally getting the answers to a lot of questions we’ve been asking for quite some time, the most important of which is: did Whitney’s artificial insemination take? Whit is dead set on making one of two decisions: starting a family and staying in Greensboro versus moving somewhere totally different and starting fresh. But will Whitney get discouraged if this first attempt at pregnancy doesn’t go as planned? Will she fold under pressure if moving away seems too complicated? And where will she work if she moves to, say, London? All these questions and more are posed and answered on today’s episode!

Pussycat, Pussycat, Where Have You Gone? (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 3 Recap)

This episode is jam-packed - we should have called it "a birthday and a funeral" because it incorporated both Glenn's 79th birthday and Henchi's memorial service. Though Henchi's departure was tragic for all fans of the show, his memorial service was an affair to remember - it was rife with gifts, memories and of course, lots of plastic. As for Whitney, we're still wondering if she actually inseminated herself. In this episode, she's either got a horrible and very conveniently-timed bout of food poisoning, or she might be experiencing some early effects of morning sickness. Tune in and let us know which one you think it is! 

Twinkle, Twinkle, Fertile Star (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 2 Recap)

Well, the votes are in and, thanks to Isaiah and Jess, Whitney has chosen her League Baby sperm donor! In “Twinkle, Twinkle, Fertile Star,” Whitney puts Ashley’s womb preparation skills to the test as she undergoes a full womb energy cleanse - complete with salty food from an unnamed popular fast food restaurant (McDonald’s) and a plastic turtle named Cappy (after Cappy, of course) with his own enclosure! But will the egg wash, chanting, and turtles be enough to get Whitney and Jess pregnant? Or will the fertility spells only work on one (or neither) of them? 

Bake Me a Baby as Fast as You Can (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 1 Recap)

We're finally here on season 13 of MBFFL! We can't believe it. And to add to the fun, TLC has given your girls SCREENERS so we can watch the episodes in advance, create our episodes, and get you the recaps the day after the episodes drop on cable television! In the premier episode of MBFFL, Whitney once again fakes us out in a classic Robert Frost conundrum - two roads are diverged in Greensboro and Whit has a choice to make: will she say in Greensboro and try to start a family on her own via artificial insemination, or will she move somewhere totally different and start fresh? Season 13 holds all the answers and we can't wait to explore them together! 

Design a Date (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 6 Recap)

Y'all - we're coming to the (temporary) end of our coverage of Season 2 of MBFFL - because we're going to pick up next week on Season 13, which drops TODAY, JULY 1! Throughout this season, we're changing our podcast drops to MONDAYS instead of TUESDAYS, so you'll be able to recap the previous week's episode the day before you watch the NEW episode!
 
But while we're still on Season 2... This is a landmark episode. And that's because it's the episode where we first meet Lennie. Is it just us, or did Lennie come on the scene way sooner than you all thought too? Because we were SHOCKED that he wasn't a Season 4 or 5 add-on! In any event, Whit is meeting Lennie tonight and love is in the air... or is it in the beard? Because Lennie's got a big, bushy one and it's full of scented beard cream that you know our girl Whit just goes wild for. Tune in and listen to the last episode of Season 2 before we go full speed ahead on Season 13!
