Seconding the "whoa, what?"

That's hardly evidence that Babs tried to kill herself. I actually didn't think her reaction was all that out of bounds. She is older, recovering from a stroke and loved that pig. The bite would have hurt like a bitch and she was startled.

it was mentioned in her book, there was an article I read where I  guess the mom was in the car running with the door down to suffercate herself bUT stopped because she realized the kids would be the ones to find her dead when they came home from school

morbid curiosity of said trainwreck I know

If he’s supposed to play the villain I think he’s doing a horrible job, I actually find Bab’s comments more cutting than Glenn’s except for Glenn’s somewhat antiquated thoughts on his daughter needing a husband, but I honestly think the main reason he wants Whitney to get a husband is it would take the financial burden off him.  Although I really don’t see that happening and if Whitney did manage to get a husband I picture her with one of the 600lb life husband’s who would maybe physically take care of her because they’re enablers, but not work.  I think Glennwould  be taking care of two twits instead of one.

This is a dr phil in the making, I agree the mother is one playing a character. she acts dumb but u can tell from her tone how she feels about the girl slip. She is more behind the back in the TH vs to the  face as the dad is.

Whoa, what!?

I was watching a rerun where the pig bites the mom and it's clear she fell to pieces, couldn't handle it, it was not normal behavior. She didn't need stitches.  I think her and whit need mood stabilizers and anxiety meds. Thr girl goes off the handle at people.  it will only fix part of the issues, interpersonal is another story

From the fan comments I gather that Hanging Rock State Park is in or near Greensboro. It apparently is quite an exhaustive hike to the top, so was Twit lowered by cable from a helicopter? Or are we going to be treated to another wailing, blubbering Bataan Death March as we were in HI?

Obviously, there is some tie-in to the rock wall climbing.

Also, if you want to see a photo of makeupless Babs at the rock, which she will hate,  press Twit's photo in the circle at the top of her IG page.

I had to see how long the trail was so according to the park website it's a 1.3m or 2k moderate hike one way.  so... I think it may be real but just like real dramatic a la hawaii. we aren't doing anymore races because she can't be coming in last again while people r packing up.

This is what I meant.  She may have given up on "finding love" (as these shows all love to say) but we have been given no indication that Tal is anywhere near in the same boat.  If anything he's the opposite, from what we've seen.

To me there is a big difference between gay best friend and domestic life partner. If Whitney had said it I would just chalk it up to her constant relationship exaggeration. But Tal doesn’t need to claim they are domestic partners to fill the gay best friend role and cash that bigger paycheck. I find it offensive that he’s trying to sell this. 

That episode about buddy in rehab they said tal is in long term recovery, he said for alcohol but then mentioned to find a bag of alcohol and calling his sponsor asking what to do. You think he really moved in with whitney to stealth get her to stop drinking as an addiction coach and food addiction. This whole baby crap is cover for the show and conflict with the dad story.

I just think the whole lot of them have issues.  The dad walks away when angry rather than dealing with a problem. Emotional Imature sign rather than constructive conflict resolution skills.  The mother tried to kill herself.  I doubt this was delt with as an entire family but rather brushed aside as womens histronics. The parent's still try to control her like a kid so she acts out like a kid. it's the most bizarre thing I have ever seen.  it's saved by the Bell the fat years, even has all the side characters. You have to read between the lines, it's sad.  but the issue is does she want to make positve changes for the better. not yet. people give up. you have to believe you are worth those changes.  heather has issues with it too blaming herself for buddy. hope she gets help.

Don’t know if this will count as unpopular but hear me out!

Whitney is emotionally abusive to her family and friends. She seems to enjoy verbally abusing her mother, giving her parents bad news, just look at Buddy and Heather right now. Heck, just look at Buddy. An addict trying to make himself better and not only does Whitney want to make it about her, she relishes forcing him into uncomfortable positions. Why did Whit have to moderate the unnecessary talk between Buddy and Heather? Because she relishes in others pain. She is sick. She is abusive.

not to defend her, but it's pretty clear watching the show that her parents are dysfunctional and she learned this behavior from them.  I admire her patience with her dad treating her like garbage because of her weight.  I would have called him out on how short he is by now.  no wonder the woman has zero self esteem and expects men to treat her like shit. If your own dad tells you how you won't find a man because of her weight how is she supposed to think it would be any different. The parent's can be narsasists too with all the preasure to have grandchildren for them.  Parents who treat their children with conditional love like this no wonder she and her brother have all these addictions to deal with these feelings of worthlessness.   Despite dealing with all this family shit that doesn't mean that it's ever too late for the girl to acknowledge her issues,  take personal responsibility and create adult boundaries and relationships, get mentally and physically healthy
