Of all the episodes in this trainwreck of a show, this one infuriated me the most. I've watched all previous episodes from all the past seasons and this season has definitely felt the weakest for me in terms of content. Whitney is a narcissistic, manipulating, attention-mongering, control-whore with no shame or boundaries. Everything she does is to feed her incessant, bottomless attention pit which will never be full. This is why she does all of the things we discuss here at length- saying she wants to smell Ashley's placenta, talking about her parents sex life with her mom, the inappropriate pictures she's posted of her licking Tal's nipple and grabbing Heather's breast... is because to her boundary-less and immature brain, all attention is good attention. I could quote from any number of posts that people have already said- fat people know they're fat... she knows what she needs to do to lose weight... she's surrounded by a host of enablers who aren't helping... but none of that is likely to change. And we keep watching. Hate-watching or not... we're watching. And as long as we are, why should the TLC producers or attention-starved Whitney change anything about what they're doing?
