This week’s episode may be called “the skinny” but don’t worry, it’ll be a long time before Whitney discovers the fountain of youth and weight loss stemming from Novo Nordisk. This episode is framed as a season-closing tell-all where Whitney sits down for an interview with one of her producers. While Whit may have been this episode’s intended focus, we couldn’t keep our eyes off the producer, who has been involved in other freak sh...

Hard to believe we're already on episode 9! Even harder to believe is the fact that Whit talks so much about leaving the nest but never does. We've got a jam packed episode for you this week - Whit gets an EXTREMELY serious diagnosis of pre-diabetes, for one. Unsurprisingly, Babs and Glenn act like it's the end of the world. Whit goes on house tours with Buddy in hopes that they'll start living together - but don’t worry, that won’...

You’ve heard of double-blind experimentation but have you ever heard of a double blind date? This week, Whitney is roping Ashley into a blind date, double date, and online date, all rolled into one. But if you thought anything about this was going to be normal, think again! Whitney has once again pulled Ashley into a world of trouble… And she’s done it by impersonating her online! But there’s only one small problem: Whitney complet...

Well there's one thing we know about Whitney when she sets her mind to something - she'll not only do it, but she'll make everyone pay, including her friends. When Whitney is asked by a fan to choreograph a wedding dance (a solo dance for all we know, which... yikes), she drops everything (BGDC, BGDC and BGDG) to do it. But when tensions rise and the bride gets cold feet, will Whit fold under pressure or keep the rhythm? Will her s...

While her parents prepare for their big wedding anniversary, Whit entertains the idea of a fling with an old friend. In fact, for reasons, we don’t really understand, Whit invites her old friend to the anniversary party to “reconnect“ with Babs and Glenn. But will trouble brew when Buddy appears? It all depends on whether you focus on who he brought to the anniversary party… Join in for all the drama, romance and love triangles - e...

This week, Whit and her BFF Ashley "do" the beach! But don't worry, this isn't a "Debbie Does Dallas" situation. Whit claims that she hasn't been to the beach for between 19-20 years and since she was between 100-114 lbs (can never get a straight figure from her). Will Whit crumble under the pressure of having a bikini body? Or will she "rock her curves the best" and flick those haters off her toe?

In this week’s episode we’re exploring the tenuous grip that Whitney has on reality. And of course, the best example of that loose grip is her “relationship“ with her “best friend,” Buddy. Though Whitney may want us to believe that she has crossed the “flesh hold“ with Buddy, and that all kinds of sexual tension remains, we are dubious. Tune in and let us know if you think Buddy is more than just a friend, or if romance already bre...

In this episode, Whit embraces the "say yes" philosophy! And if you didn't know what that was, don't worry, she'll beat you over the head with it for the entirety of the episode! To Whit, "saying yes" means starring in a big girl fashion show called "I Rock My Curves the Best." Though the staging of the show isn't great (it's at a long since shut down cigar bar without an actual runway), Whit certainly makes an entrance in her 2014...

If we had to title this episode, it would likely be called “mail from the producers,” because we’re sure no one could possibly feel the vitriol towards Hwhit necessary to write some of these comments. Regardless of their source, this episode centers around Whit’s haters - whether they’re yelling at her from a passing car “call Sea World! Shamu got out!” or leaving her anonymous comments on social media, the haters are in the buildi...
