So we have another photo of them kissing, presumably in response to all of the posts saying it’s fake or she’s being duped. Once again only photos from events either for the show or for her “brand”. This one is from the cruise back in Nov. Nothing from everyday life. Nothing that shows they spend time together when cameras aren’t rolling or just doing regular day to day things. And again showing the immaturity of Whitney thinking that posting pictures of kissing proves they are passionately in love. That’s not how it works.
At the same time, Chase is posting a pic of his true love.

She wants to tell Chase she's loves him??? Huh?? Isn't that like something you struggle to say after maybe 10 dates?? Aren't they supposedly "engaged"? What bullshit.
In REAL time, yes, they are supposedly engaged. In REALITY time, however, they have not yet made it to Paris where the proposal supposedly took place.
Took much use of the adverb "supposedly"? Not when discussing this Grand Romance.

Heather's children must be fairly old by now?
Ava turned 12 this week. Eli is 8, but his next birthday is close as the kids are about 3 years apart in age.

[Whitney] has done basically nothing to develop the brand. She doesn't appear to solicit public speaking gigs or consulting contracts, she has never really done anything with merchandising, ...
She did quite a bit of public speaking in the early years. Engagements seem to have dried up, however, probably becuz many ppl have realized she is a fraud, not an "inspiration," just as many of her fans have lately indicated they think the romance is scripted fakery.
Her own "brand," NoBSactive, has gone nowhere in terms of merchandise. (And the same would be true of the video exercise, were it not for Ryan running it.) Also, she has few "paid partnerships," e.g., Fabfitfun cosmetics and, recently, Torrid swim suits. I don't think these partnerships bring in any money, just freebie products.
She has an agent who doesn't seem to be doing much for her. (And ITA she is too lazy to hustle gigs & sponsorships herself.) Mostly, tho, her problem is that she is a Z-list celeb who is of little or no interest to ppl who hire SM influencers.

So she is moving on from Jessica after she was the reason Twit finish in the last contest!? What a biatch!!
Don't read the spoiler below if you have not kept up with Twit's wgt-lifting adventures on SM & don't want to know.
SpoilerTwi attended a specialized wgt-lifting gym as a prelude to her entering contests. On at least one occasion, shown on IG, Jess accompanied her & shouted "good job," as usual, no matter how bad her form was. Sorry, I don't recall the name of the gym owner who's doing the actual coaching.

Oh dear. NoBSDance's Facebook group has dropped to 32. NoBSActive's, on the other hand, is now up to 634. Even if only 500 of those group members are paying customers, Whitney and Ryan are grossing in the neighborhood of ten grand a month. (Maybe a little less if a bunch of the customers took advantage of the discount if you pre-pay for a year, but I suspect the $20-a-month-pay-as-you-go-and-cancel-at-any-time plan is still what most people sign up for.)
No one ever said that the conniving, opportunistic little rat didn't see a great grift possibility when he saw Twit's profile on an online dating service. I'd say Ryan's been successful beyond his wildest dreams.

I don’t know if I didn’t see the particular episode or couldn't understand Mumbles, but was it ever explained why Buddy all of sudden is trying to be a comedian? Did he say he always wanted to get into comedy or had some sort of epiphany after getting sober or was this the producers saying....let’s morph Buddy from pizza delivery guy to comedian.
IIRC, he has several times claimed, over several years, that he wanted to do standup. I can't name particular times, however.

I could be wrong but this doesn’t look like his sister
Exactly my thought when I saw this on Chase's IG page. And does he ever look happier with a 20-something of normal wgt than he has ever looked with 350 #s hanging on him.

So I am trying to figure this out, they got engaged in October - yet nothing on her social media about venue searching, wedding dress, cake tastings, etc. So they must be saving it for next season which I assume is being filmed now? So basically we have until what Sep-October in real time before they break up ?
( not that I wish that on them if they are for reelz, but I just ain't buying it)
Generally, they film from April to mid- to late Oct.

They've renewed this crap for yet another season? I thought Dot said the ratings were on a downhill slide?! Or is this just Whitney teasing the fans (and giving us haterzzz headaches?)
I don't want to mislead anyone. The ratings for ep 7 did take a big hit. Is it a trend? Or an anomaly? The only way to know is to follow the data over the next weeks & see if MBFFL bounces back or continues to slide downhill.
The smugness of Twit's latest IG story leads me to believe she is sure of another season. I don't know how TV contracts work, but given how many shows get cancelled suddenly, with no warning, I suspect the network writes in a paragraph giving it the right to do that. OTOH, 800,000+ viewers for a cheesy cable network is probably pretty good, so maybe Twit's days will never be numbered unless she keels over from some fat-induced medical problem. I agree with what someone said in another thread: the elderly parents are healthier than their 350-# daughter.

Genuine question - not snark - why? I know a lot of people who refuse them and I don't get it. If you never need their services, you will never interact with them and if you do need them you're probably going to be pretty grateful they were just a push button away. . . .
Help me understand...
The reason I don't have a device is that there is no cell service in the rural area where I live.
I'm 81 & of limited mobility. I was falling a lot until I had to use a walker full time. Still, there are moments when I have to let go of the walker, so I still worry about falling. I attached a phone holster to my walker since it's usually within arm's length. So, at least, I can carry my cordless phone around the house. But I would love to have a wrist or pendant device.
To bring this back to MBFFL, I think Babs is too vain & Glenn too stubborn to wear a device. As you pointed out, they may live to regret their vanity & stubbornness -- but probably not long if they fall without someone nearby to help. Frankly, I think they're crazy not to move downstairs. I think if Hunter had suggested it, without Twit around, they might have done it. But they have a passive-aggressive relationship with their daughter.

There's not much to add to the great comments already made about this episode. MBFFL's become so overscripted, unrelatable & just plain phony that it's harder & harder to find anything to snark about. Nonetheless, here are a few random thoughts:
📌 It's pretty obvious Ryan wooed & won Jacob Isenberger, the MBFFL producer. What fat, furry, unattractive gay guy wouldn't be flattered by the overwheening attention of a physically fit man? (And some even think Ryan is handsome & sexy. I don't, but Jacob probably does.) There are lots of IG photos of Ryan in LA with his arms around Jacob's shoulders. Ryan wined Jacob, he dined him -- hell, I wouldn't put it past him to give Jacob a BJ -- and he ended up the star of MBFFL this season. I really hate the opportunistic little rat & don't think his presence on the show saves it if that is the intent.
📌 Where were Tal & Jon at the party? And Ashley? Why didn't Todd participate other than to eat a plate of food? Why was Buddy in a different state? Where were the parents who attend every event Twit is in? And the same for Hunter. And why was Heather relegated to such a minor -- and embarrassing -- role? An assemblage of 20-something strangers doth not a house-warming party make. Why bother any more with these cameo appearances of former MBFFL "stars"?
📌 The production crew really clean Buddy up for the show, particularly his beard. On MBFFL it's brown & groomed. On SM it's multi-colored -- lots of gray -- and wildly bushy.
📌 That conversation between Ryan & Twit about his desire to reach out to fitness SM influencers was so obviously foreshadowing for his announcement -- seen in a promo -- that they're going to Paris to expand the franchise. What nonsense; it's an internet biz. That's the worst reason for a trip since Glenn claimed he was spending his bonus to take his family & all Twit's friends to Hawaii.
📌 There are steep stairs from sidewalk to front door & from 1st floor to 2nd at Twit's townhouse. How's she going handle all those stairs when she regains the 50 lbs. she lost? (As she will.)
📌 Twit says to Hunter, "We'll put them downstairs." Hello? Your parents are sitting right there. Maybe you should give them the right to say where they will be "put".
📌 Once again, I am of 2 thoughts about Twit's elderly parents. I agree they need to think about what aging means. But the pushiness of their unhealthy daughter makes the hair on the back of my neck rise. If she wants them to move downstairs -- a good idea -- she could point out the advantages. They could close off the upper floor & save a bundle on heat & air. Or they could rent out all 4 bedrooms.
📌 Hunter was right: offer to help the parents make changes, but support their choices, don't bully them.
📌 I'm so sick of the Buddy story arc. I am so tired of Twit's referring to a sexual event which may or may not have happened. In fact, I thought we were going to get thru an entire episode without her mentioning it again. Then she said she couldn't figure out what Buddy needed to make amends for, unless it's for how he was "after we hooked up." Arrgh.
📌 Ryan: "Heather loves Buddy." Yet another story arc I am soooo tired of.
📌 There are only "8 simple steps" to becoming a certified personal trainer. On the internet, not a classroom, not a gym. For sure, that's the only way she could become a trainer. Even so, it'll probably go the way of becoming Jewish.

Were that the plan & they break up in this season, what is the point of Chase pretending on SM to be in love with Twit?

I regret ever starting this food thing. Can we move further comments to Small Talk?

OMG you totally nailed it, very funny. Assume this Chase thing will be over at the end of this season.
My bet is that this romance will be milked for all it's worth -- her fans have been demanding it for several years -- and it will be extended into another season, presumably all about wedding planning.

Regardless, I love it. Macaroni and tomato juice, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and salmon patties is my favorite meal and I will never give it up.
Of that, I only find the cornbread palatable. Oh, wait -- the mashed potatoes, too. As for the rest -- gag! 😖

Twit's shilling a skin care product in today's IG story. I question that she is the SM influencer some manufacturers seem to believe she is.

I don’t understand TLC’s reasoning behind this commercial. Do they think revealing the engagement so soon will draw in viewers? I think it would do the opposite as they have completely ruined any surprise or anticipataion
Viewership took a big dip this week. Too early to tell if that's the beginning of a trend. But if the viewership continues to decline, I think we'll have our answer.

I think she wants us to believe that they just had marathon poopshute sex and he collapsed on her back... but with his HAT on? lol
I wonder if he also wears his socks to bed.... sexxxy 🤮
So she's lying on her stomach, not her back as I thought? (I'm still having a problem putting all the body parts together.)

Social Media: What's Up With Her?
in My Big Fat Fabulous Life
I hope you swiped to see the other photo of Piper 2 years ago as a puppy -- adorable! (Look at those ears.) It's easy to see why Chase chose her.
And from his hashtag, it seems he adopted her from a shelter, as did Heather a few months ago with her pet cat. Say what you will about their being Twit's social barnacles, I really honor both for adopting from a shelter.
