Dot

I agree w/ everything everyone has said about why a cruise & S-8 premiere could coincide. I can add a few more. She has exhausted the Nov-Dec itineraries & needs a new one. Fans who are in retail haven't been able to vacay in Dec. She only has the months Jan-Apr & Nov-Dec when MBFFL is not being filmed. Even so, I still think Jan is an odd time for her cruise.

Natalie just preempted Twit's annual tease about when the next cruise will happen. It's scheduled for Jan 2021, which would also be when a season 8 would start. Does this possibly mean TLC has given Twit a heads-up that S-7 is the end of MBFFL?

Anna Lynn Celeste is the other photographer on the cruise besides Linus. On her IG page she calls herself a body positive photog. It appears Diva Twit can go nowhere these days without ensuring she is captured on film. I've never gotten the sense that Natalie is much more than an opportunist. She has claimed to be a model. She facilitates the cruise fashion show b/c of her presumed fashion sense & contacts in the fashion world. She has sucked onto Twit like a giant limpet. I'm thinking Twit is probably paying for this trip or maybe it's one of TLCs promo tours. Either way, I can't see Natalie paying for it.

Just as @3girlsforus informed us can happen to a cruise's itinerary, bad weather (rough seas) has prohibited their cruise ship from docking in the Bahamas, per Heather. I think I'd be pretty pissed off if I spent so much money & ended up staying on the boat rather than enjoying the promised excursions. Especially if I was paying a premium price for a celebrity cruise.

Well, it never was on her IG page but an IG story which disappears in 24 hrs.

Does the cruise line notify ppl in advance & give them a refund if desired? Or is the itinerary change a big surprise in the middle of the ocean?

I don't understand how they ended up in Puerto Rico. The NoBSatsea website lists St Kitts, St Thomas & the Bahamas.

Don't miss Twit's current IG story -- she's really into ass-shots on this trip.

Chase has crawled out of his bottle long enuf to perform his contractural duties.

Yeah, I misread the calcs above. Still, 224 ppl booked doesn't seem unreasonable for someone who claims 1/2 million followers.

There are more than 8 ppl for Twit to comp, including: Tal, Todd, Natalie, BigYoga, at least 2 photogs. (Jon is also on the boat, but presumably Tal paid his way.) So, 14 x 8 = 112 needed bookings. That doesn't seem an impossible number.

Oh, goodie! A new photo for Twit to make into a poster to nail on her bedroom ceiling.

Chase enjoys his drink & he seems to be spending his time in the ship's bar. Twit has an IG story showing him kissing her there.

I'm wondering what makes you think that. The dance floor on the first night looked pretty crowded. OTOH, she sure didn't draw many ppl to her panel discussion. I don't think she'd pay for any of her "friends & family," so she must have gotten enuf paying customers to make her quota.

OMG. Her ass. And her cellulite legs. Twit has really gone further down hill since her cruise last year. It makes me wonder how the film crew chose angles in the filming of S-7 to keep her looking "fabulous." And how long can TLC continue to allow this woman to promote her HAES message?

Yeah, what happened to Donna Lee, who was Twit's absolute bestiest? Until she wasn't. Or Mattie, who dared to lobby TLC for her own reality show?

Twit says she will announce tomorrow when S-7 begins. I'm guessing Jan 7 if other years are any indication.

For others who are blocked from any IG pages, such as I am with Ryan, or don't use IG, there is a great way to see IG stories. Go to storieswatch.com enter the person's IG name & follow the instructions. @Ketzel pointed me to a short video filmed by ryanandreas_ of Chase talking to Glenn over cigars & cognac. The look on Glenn's face is priceless, as in "this guy is a possible SIL?"

Her tit's falling OUT of her bra.

Twit met Natalie at CurvyCon a couple of years ago. Natalie seemed to spend a lot of time stroking Twit's ego, and landed herself a spot on the boat last year as the fasion show coordinator. Same game this year. ETA: I called Ryan a pig for his oinking, "We out here." as his photo caption. Do you think he means out on the deck? (I don't.)

Thanks, @3girlsforus. Nice suit, Natalie. Why did you bother? Nice comment, Ryan, you pig It had fleetingly crossed my mind a couple of days ago if Twit would try to push Ryan toward her pal. Looks like it's happening.

He posted a still of himself in front of a sign saying "Hard," and commenting that he is aboard the boat.

Can you give a brief description? I'm blocked from his IG page.

It's Chase.

It is Chase & he is pretending to nuzzle her butt with his nose as she wiggles it.
