Hello, I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. Like most I came for the snark and also kinda a kooky thought I had. While reading on of the threads, a line of conversation came up about what Whitney has trademarked/how her weight seems like an optical magic trick where people either says she looks bigger or smaller. Decided to look up the video that "thrust" her into the limelight and compare this video of her then and photos of her now. - I know ya'll are wondering why, I'm asking myself the same thing- After looking through, she honestly does look nearly the same size. Maybe a bit more bottom heavy. Then I asked myself why, most forum users and myself, seem to think she's gained weight since the seasons have gone on? I came to the realization that it's probably because compared to this video and even the 1st season she doesn't seem active. All we see her do is lounge, heehaw, eat, and talk about herself. She can't even put forth the effort to play into the charade she cast herself in to get this show.
