The first thing I thought when I saw Cshasey's "romantic" dinner in their suite (the one they share with fratbro Ryan) was "holy shit, there's nowhere near enough food there for Sweatney." Then she called it "sensible" and I laughed.
I agree. Also, that meal must've cost a fortune. In a city full of gorgeous little restaurants, many with prix fixe menus that are very, very affordable. We would walk all the way to the Latin Quarter for dinner every night as the food there was delicious and cheap.
But why bother walking a few blocks to a restaurant when you can spend the early afternoon in a hotel room (dressed and in full makeup) eating? It's the same logic as - why spend a romantic day in Paris alone with your boyfriend who you never see if you can cram into a car with four other people to go to a winery far away?
And I don't believe she climbed all those stairs.

I didn't understand why Ashley and Todd's room had two huge beds and Twit's/Chase/Ryan's room had only one bed, or why the three of them had to share one room.
This is part of the whole YOU NEED TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF of this stupid show. Why didn't they just switch rooms? Whitney and Chase could have had the one room to themselves. I'm sure that Ashley and Todd would not have minded sharing a bed, and Ryan could have kept the cot.
When I was in the early stages of my relationship i couldn't keep my hands off my boyfriend/soon-to-be fiance. To be in Paris and not have a private room with your boyfriend -- especially when you make so much money -- makes no frigging sense at all. And even though THAT hotel may have been booked, i'm sure there's another one in Paris. Or even an AirBNB, VRBO, etc option. This show is becoming insulting.
Oh, and seeing as I'm irritated, I have to add that while she was careening down the incline on the bike, she wasn't pedalling at all. I looked. argh. Why do i watch this idiocy?

I'm so dreading seeing her braying and clomping around that beautiful city. I've been to Paris twice and did not see anyone near her size - even among the tourists.

At Tal's house, did anyone else notice the weirdness among the group when someone commented that Greensboro is actually closer to Wilmington than Charlotte is (when Whitney was complaining her long-distance relationship)?
There was a weird 'don't mention that! it doesn't fit the plot' vibe. And no explanation or follow up questions.
hmmm....

God, I hate this woman. I’m on board with all the people who are tired of hearing the word “bro’s” coming out of Whitney’s mouth. I love 5he way the day after the party, she flops down on her couch while watching Chase clean her house. Then after roughly 10 minutes she announces its time for her nap. Chase, this will be your life!
I totally agree. I've noticed that she's ALWAYS sitting or lying down. I can understand if you're hungover you may want to lie on the couch, but she is never standing for long. We see her in bed talking to Ryan, on the couch while Chase cleans her house, on a chair in her parents' dining room talking to Babs, making a beeline for Tal's couch with a plate of food as soon as she arrives.
She may be able to lose a little weight if she remains on her feet a little longer during the day.

Todd was uncharacteristically subdued during the "party". I thought Heather was adorably tipsy when she was talking about Buddy to Ryan. Both of them seem to have no interest in being there and Whitney paid them little attention.

Whitney told Chase that if she had to choose between him and Buddy, she would choose the one she has known for 20 years who did not have an issue with her falling in love with another man.
If her relationship with Chase was real, why would she say this? Does anyone believe she wouldn't leave Buddy in the dust? I didn't finish watching the episode, but it sounds like that's exactly what she did.
If it's not real. this is the setup for the inevitable Buddy relationship plot line.
Either way it rang way too fabricated to be believable for me.

Was anyone else taken aback by Whitney's nasty "don't be salty!" reprimand to Heather? I'd never let a friend -- a best friend no less -- talk to me like that. Methinks the real Whitney made an appearance there for a moment.

Yes, the sports bra and leggings were so out of place at lunch. She should have tossed on a cute dress over what she had on- it’s like she stopped dressing before she was done.... She will never be accused of having too much class, but SOMEONE -a Director? Stylist? Should have told her to put on something more appropriate for lunch with friends. Also, do they ever show her eating?
I think it's hard to get a shot of her eating because she eats so rarely. Isn't that what she keeps telling everyone, that her problem is that she doesn't eat at all during the day?

I only watched 1/2 of the show so far because I have a deal with myself that I can only do so while on the exercise bike. It's amazing how motivating it is watching Whitney spilling out of her clothes. It makes me pedal WAY faster.
Whitney's definitions of words must be different from mine. When she's telling her 'trainer' how stressed she is partly because she has to empty out her storage unit what she really meant is I'm stressed about having to sit in an air-conditioned truck while others do all the work and leave early so I can nap. Charming.

After watching the entire episode yesterday, I'm convinced this is all a vehicle toward the inevitable Buddy/Whitney romance. There was way too much focus on Buddy:
- the recap of previous seasons focused on "the kiss"
- Buddy brought up the kiss
- Whitney brought up the kiss
- Ashley and Heather discussed the kiss
- Todd and Whitney discussed the kiss
- Whitney angrily told us that he had five years to do something and didn't
- Buddy became so jealous of Whitney talking about the new man she's dating that he had to leave the table
- previews show Chase becoming concerned about the relationship between Whitney and Buddy
If the Reddit insider is right, and the whole Chase thing is a producer-manufactured plot line, it would make sense that the relationship would end once Whitney and Buddy realize how much in love they always have been (shudder)....

Ugh Tal was really irritating this episode, especially his comment about the 'toxic masculinity' at the BBQ, which could have only been directed at Buddy and Ryan. What were they doing that was so toxic and masculine? Buddy was mostly playing with Ashley's toddler and Ryan seemed to be his natural self.
I have no problem if these people irritate you on a personal basis but phrases like 'toxic masculinity' make me wonder if there is one acceptable way to behave that only people like Tal can determine. And don't get me wrong - I work in corporate America and understand the issues with male dominance, I just don't think this was applicable at all in this case. There's nothing inherently toxic about being a male.
This is too bad - I always thought highly of Tal.

Because, when pinned down by the interviewer at the end of Season 3, Buddy specifically denied they had ever had sex? He sort of awkwardly explained that Whitney's approach to relationships was not as -- I think he used the word "conventional" as his, and so he had never had a romantic interest in her. I remember thinking he might be amused at all her lewd talk and grabby hands when they were directed to other people, but was squicked out when she tried to aim them at him. I could just imagine at the time how he'd react if Whitney attempted to smell his armpits!
How things change when money and ratings loom larger in the mix! But nothing will make me believe Whitney was not firmly friend-zoned by Buddy years ago, regardless of what is scripted for the show.
I completely agree with this. It’s not as if Buddy isn’t very open about how much he’s into a woman on the show. For at least three episodes he was gushing over his girlfriend and how much he loved her, how beautiful she was, etc. All I’m seeing is the “he’s not into you” vibe when it comes to Whitney.

Twit is no fitness icon for me, but I just thought of a way she could have framed these adventures that might have been slightly icon-ish. Many overweight people put their lives on hold. Either they are waiting until the weight magically comes off, or they are too embarrassed to be seen doing physical stuff out in public, or don't know how they would hold up even just walking around a museum, etc.
Twit could just go places and have low energy/low impact adventures and activities. She could show that you can get out and enjoy the world and your life at any size (this is not HAES, at least not in my mind). She could even show what kind of accommodations she had to make for her weight - seat belt extenders; tables, not booths, in restaurants, etc. so that others could see how they could make these activities happen for themselves.
But no. We have coke head Buddy, cryin' eyes Heather, and 4 people left in BGDC. It's worse than Ruby.
Yes! This post made me finally realize why I've always had a bad impression of Whitney (beyond her incessant sexual innuendos/touching, constant screaming and apparent talent of becoming a nasty shrew at the drop of a hat).
Instead of showing obese people enjoying life, she shows herself failing on an epic scale. I was mortified for her watching the skiing debacle, where she was helpless and yelling for anyone to help pick her up. Were I morbidly obese, this would give me even more reason to stay home. Why would anyone who already has trepidation about doing physical activities due to their size be motivated after watching Whitney? If there is one thing the Hawaii whine-a-thon seemed to teach viewers, it's that obese people should NEVER try such things as they end in tears, intense pain, and a profound sense of personal failure that you still won't shut up about the following season.
Of course I know that this is not the case, and that almost everyone can do physical things in moderation. But what Whitney is teaching is that you have to reach way beyond your capabilities to make anything worthwhile, and when you fail, you should own that sense of failure. Fabulous indeed.

I'm pretty sure that Whitney was chiding Todd for his 'thin privilege' when they had their fight in New York. I took this from https://people.com/bodies/whitney-way-thore-criticism-because-im-fat/
“Do you know how much stuff I don’t get because I’m fat? Like basic respect? From anybody who sees me on the street that I don’t get because I’m fat?” Thore says in an interview. “Do you ever think about all the stuff you get that you take for granted that you inherently get because you walk around this world in a perfect f—— body that I don’t get? So let me have one thing, because I’m fat.”

I've decided I was too harsh to assume Twitney had yesterday's Cheetos under her fingernails.
I'm thinking she had her own personal stash (crate) of Cheetos in her hotel room, and had just finished stuffing them into her face before she met up with Todd. So those were FRESH Cheetos under her nails.
There. Now I feel better about my possibly incorrect assumption.
I understand why you want to believe this. And I wish I was as good a person as you are. But I'm pretty sure that Todd asked if it was the Cheetos from the day BEFORE yesterday, and Whitney became quite offended and said no, it was YESTERDAY. Because if it was two days, that would just be gross. One day is apparently acceptable. ok then.

When Todd and Whitney were in Charlotte, did Todd point out that she had Cheetos dust under her finger from THE DAY BEFORE?? WTF? I understand that she may not shower daily, but who doesn't wash their HANDS at least once over the course of 24 hours?

Social Media: What's Up With Her?
in My Big Fat Fabulous Life
Thank you for loving me? Who says that? I'm guessing some of those on the list don't love her at all.
