The Plot Thickens

Big Whit's Debut (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 21 Recap)

When Whit's boss at the Greenboro Grasshoppers asks her to fill in for the stadium's beloved hype man, Spaz, Whit doesn't know if she's up to the task. Spaz's job is a big one, and he's leaving some big shoes to fill as he heads off to a wedding and can't be around for the game! But with some training help from Sean at the Clerb, a new jersey and a fresh nickname ("Big Whit"), Whitney finds that she’s not only up to the task, she might be willing to fill in for Spaz again! That is, if he ever lets her. Listen now to experience Build-a-Burger, Sumo Wrestling, Fireworks, and all kinds of other ballpark goodies with us as we recap this episode! 

Whitney's Ticking Clock (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 20 Recap)

On this episode we’ve got the first of many times that Whitney starts to feel her biological clock ticking (which, in Tal’s opinion, is awesome!) as she embarks on a babysitting adventure with Tal’s nephew, a very cute 11-month-old with a very southern-sounding name! Though Whit has to strap a towel to her face to avoid smelling his dirty diaper, she quickly forgets her horror and falls in love with the little guy, wondering if maybe she could be a mom herself. Lennie seems skeptical, but we know better - this episode will be sure to ignite Whitney’s maternal instincts and set her on a course of fertility exploration - but will her PCOS hold her back from motherhood?

A Dance To Remember (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 19 Recap)

This week on The Plot Thickens, we're headed to New York - no, not New York City. We're heading to Saratoga, NY to the National Museum of Dance. With her performance at the National Museum of Dance upon her, Whitney is still unsure of her routine - should she add an impossible backward roll just to add some spice, or should she go with a move that's more tried and true? Leslie, the owner of Greensboro Dance Theater, may feel one way, but we feel another. One thing's for sure - Saratoga never saw Whitney coming! 

Truth or Dare (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 18 Recap)

This episode is LIT - and we mean literally on FIRE - it’s a fireside chat of an episode and Whitney is having all her buddies over for a campfire. But instead of roasting weenies and toasting marshmallows, Whit and the gang are playing a rousing game of truth or dare. Tensions are high and Tal’s feet are higher (because they’re above his head as he does a naked handstand)! But will the shirt switching and stop-drop-and-rolling lead to fun and fear conquering or disaster? 

Working at the Car Wash (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 2, Episode 17 Recap)

Whit's short on cash in this week's episode (even though she's working two jobs) and what better (and sexier) way to raise funds than a car wash? Whitney and her Big Girls are banding together to wash some cars and raise some cash. They've got some picky customers (like GlennThore) and some rowdy onlookers (luckily no shouts of "Shamu got out!") but they're ready to work and use the funds to get Whit (and not themselves, apparently) to Saratoga for the Museum of Dance recital! 

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)

We’ve got a MEOWvelous episode for you all today! This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re herding cats - literally! 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!
