I can't jump -- or walk -- up a 6" step. But that's bc I'm an octogenarian with two shot knees. I do understand that as a victory for Twit. But how sad is it that that is a victory for a 34-yr-old?

I love it that she compliments Jessica for just standing around for 7 minutes.  Easy money for Jess. And while idling, she doesn't have to shout fake "good job"s at Twit. Or worry about being grabbed & having her 'pits sniffed.

That victory howl of Twit's really annoys me. We've heard it at the bell ring, the jetski ride, the ATV ride, the preview's zip line trip. I almost find it worse than the braying laugh.

I loved your whole comment, @Pachengala, but particularly this!

I confess having to go to the Urban Dict. to understand it. For anyone else in my situation: it's short for fitsporation, which is images of strong, active, fit women who promote proper exercise & diet.

You really nailed it, @Pachengala!

Who is Brooklyn Slade and why are we following her?  Is this pickles show local to Greensboro?  I’ve only heard it through Whitney

Brooklyn's link to Twit is unknown -- just another annoyingly cryptic reference that Twit frequently foists on her fans. If you click on this woman's FB page, all you get is the info that she is a model/dancer, with lots of photos of her posing as a model or dancer.

Since it was Dec 12, I figured it had something to do with her being annointed Twit's "biggest fan." But she seems to have also been a guest on the Pickler & Ben show, so who knows?

Kellie Pickler is a country singer; Ben is some random comedian she teamed up with for their syndicated daytime show. Since Twit's IG page indicated she was in Nashville, I assume that's where the P & B show is filmed.

This is Twit's second visit; she was on the show 6-8 months ago. I watched it. There were 2 memorial moments. One was a 12-year-old girl who is a ventriloquist; both she & her dummy could sing & yodel. The second moment occurred after a clip of the YouTube Fat Girl Dancing video was shown. Twit was asked, now that she knows how the video went viral & led to M,BFFL, would she do anything differently. Twit said, "Yeah. I would have taken a shower."

ummm, isnt that the same skirt she is wearing in the promo for the new season ?  Is she eating most of her clothing budget ? 

Twit likes that black top, red skirt from Torrid & she wears it a lot. First seen about a year ago (12/30/17).

So it appears from the trailer for the next episode of Catfish  on Facebook (top of the page) that the victim thinks she's been online dating a "reality star." There's a briefly  flashed picture of the "star" she believes she's dating, and it's none other than Whitney's Lennie!  Next Wednesday at 9 on MTV for anyone who might be interested. I'm pretty sure I'm having a headache, or possibly a date with Bruno Mars. What - we've been texting for weeks now!

Hi, @Ketzel, dear. Bruno here. Your texts have been the highlight of each day I've received one.

Anyhoo, I've got a Q since I'm not Catfish-conversant. If the woman THINKS she is dating Lennie, does that mean it's some other guy? Or does she think it's a real reality star -- whatever that is -- and it turns out to be just Lennie?

That sounds more like it.  More fake storylines.  I don't know if I can sit through another season of this.   I barely made it through the preview. 

Do you imagine TLC will keep this show going another 5 years? Until she hits 40? Beyond that age? It's inconceivable to me that it's lasted this long. How many times can they rehash the same story arcs & hold an audience?

I'm beginning to think it will take the death of one of the elderly parents. And if Twit keeps "challenging" Glenn to accompany her to the gym, it's probably gonna be him. He looks worse & worse everytime we see him. Tho, according to the trailer, Twit's now trying to kill Babs the same way.

I would never have made it more than halfway thru S-2 if I hadn't discovered, first an IMDb board, then this forum. I now grit my teeth & tune in to MBFFL bc I so enjoy the comedic stylings of you folks. It's worth the hour of tedium every week.

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

The photo with the new lewk came along hours after her profile photos with now-I-know makeup artist, Tarryn.

According to the Urban Dict., a lewk is an exaggerated look or distinctive physical trait. So Twit is referring to the mascara on her lower lids, I guess.

And is the shout-out to Brooklyn Slade a clue to the biggest fan, who is still unidentifed?

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

I guess Twit's Dec 12 "biggest fan" is a woman named Tarryn Feldman of maybe Nashville , TN. There are 2 selfies of her with Twit in the profile. No explanation, so I'm just guessing.

Apparently she got a new bitch. She posted it in her profile. I think in Whitney’s case anyone assigned to be her friend really is her bitch. 

She's called Jessica "bish" numerous times. Boo & bish are Twit's go-to terms of endearment. Ain't she cute? And sassy? What a gal!

I love how Twit's going to get her mom moving in the gym...yes, you should be giving out fitness advice, you morbidly obese moron. . . .her fitness is awful but she thinks she's an expert. . .

Ah, but @Sasha888, you ignore what an adept human being Twit is. She need only try some activity once & she's an expert. She flopped around to music at age 4 & was immediately a professional dancer, winning an award in Saratoga. She showed Todd how to wag his ass in her kitchen & became a choreographer. She lay on her humungous tummy on a surfboard in HI & became a surfer.  (And who knows yet what wondrous activities she excelled at in AK.) She rode up a hill on a specially designed bicycle to accolades aplenty for her verve & deftness. She was carried across the finish line of an 8K race as her dad whispered, "You've inspired a lot of people today."

Of course, she's now a fitness trainer. She's been going to a gym 3-4 times a week since Jan. Why wouldn't she train Babs & 5,978 fans on-line?

Hey, @AZChristian. You've commented a couple times that Twit would not meet the wgt limit for a zip line. Apparently, the MBFFL producers found a place in AK where they could put Twit in a cage to zip along in!

Thanks, Dot. It's a fairly unflattering shot of everyone in it, but maybe it was TLC's choice for a publicity shot, not Whitney's.

That's what happens as you age - gravity makes it drop.  I know because I used to have one of those bellies.

It's medical designation is panniculus, aka pannus. And it doesn't go away without surgery. If Twit's skin is already losing elasticity at age 34, her arms are gonna be bat wings if she loses weight. She is more & more becoming a candidate for Dr Now. And I'm sure TLC is awaiting the crossover show.

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

The trailer shows highlights of the coming season. I call them RETREADS. It's just one tired, rehashed moment or story arc after another:
🔹 Twit frets about Babs' heath & schemes -- probably with Glenn -- to "help" her.
🔹 Heather whines incessantly about how unhappy she is that Buddy ditched her.
🔹 Twit, never a wuss, needs to redeem herself after the 8K fiasco; the barnacles worry that she will peak too early.
🔹 Twit's dance career runs into road blocks.
🔹 Everybody worries that Buddy is on the sauce again & Twit makes it all about her.
🔹Twit is lonely -- and weeping about it. So what better reason to adopt a kid?
🔹A Babs's comment so startles Twit that she must feign shock by widening her eyes & dropping her mouth open.
🔹Twit wags her ass into Buddy's crotch because -- well, she's so senshus always.
🔹 The Kiss -- will they or won't they? Again.

I wonder when this picture was taken?

Remember a couple of months ago when the gang was all in that photog's studio for promo shots? That's when.

ETA: @Ketzel, a date between Oct 17 - Nov 1, from dates on photos in Twit's, Tal's & Heather's IG pages.

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

The trailer for S-6, approx. 2 minutes, can be seen as an IG profile story on Twit's page. As always, this can't be shared. However, Heather states you can link to her bio -- from her IG page? FB page? -- to see the trailer. I couldn't figure out how to do that; perhaps someone else can so that those without IG can see it.

I'll wait to comment on the trailer till more of you see it. But, like Twit, I'll give you a tease: Heather's fans are outraged & crying "girl code" foul.

ETA: The article @Elizzikra provides above also contains a video of the trailer. I couldn't access that. If you have a problem, too, go to the IG profile story.

[Hired Friends: Whitney's Social Barnacles]

The gang's all here. (Not a great pose for Twit but at least she's clothed. Glenn and Buddy look grim.)

A plus size event in Times Square, underwear and bathing suits, but no Whit.

 

That's really something; thanks for sharing, @AuntJess. It takes (exposed) guts to parade around in your underwear in NYC's Time Square in winter.

I appreciate the fact that the organizers see body positivity as important for all sizes. Twit never sees it except as something she demands for herself & a few others, such as Natalie. And as much as she loves to parade around in her underwear, she'd never do this event bc she would be only one among many & not the "star."

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

I've returned to Tal's "sensible body roll" in Manila because I think it's fascinating that Twit is unable to perform this roll. She is essentially spherical; the move requires someone who is a thin cylinder like Tal. Note how Twit is trying to hide her inability to body roll by placing a slim woman in white slacks in front of her. If we weren't viewing this dance move from the side, Twit would be more or less obscured.

Jacob?  Anything to keep the "star" happy?

Pilgrim Media Group, the MBFFL production co., used to list their crews for each season of MBFFL. They don't do that anymore & have deleted the former lists. IIRC, however, Jacob didn't appear on the crew list until S-3 or S-4. And he has lasted, unlike the first several producers. I've always kinda wondered if Twit sexually harassed her first producer(s) until they said, "I quit," so PMG installed a gay guy figuring he was immune to her advances.

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

Twit's profile story this morn places her in Runyon Cyn, LA, in one of her flimsier sports bras, with Jacob Isenberger of PMG & producer of MBFFL. She has her fans all atwitter by claiming, "he's my BOY FRIEND." Since he's gay, this is just another of her teases to keep the fans interested in her. She also says the premiere date reveal will be tomorrow, not today.

Lots of canyon photos, incl a kiss on the cheek from Jacob, in her profile today. Sorry, can't share profile stories.

[Social Media: What's Up With Her?]

Twi has stopped over in LA instead of going directly home as Tal has. My guess is that's where she'll announce the premiere date for S-6 tomorrow. I'd also bet the "biggest fan" she'll meet on Dec 12 lives in SoCal.

That made me furious. Completely inappropriate comments from Twit when there's a LITTLE GIRL who appears to be about 9 on stage with her. Way to sexualize a child, you jagoff. 

Not just the comment. It merely emphasized an inappropriate "dance" move for a family-oriented festival. I would hope this is the last time TLC invites Twit to perform at one of its events.
