    Now I can’t wait to see where they go with this story. 🤗

    1) She'll get sick or injured or one of the cats will get sick or something,  and she'll have to postpone taking the exam. Nothing further will be heard of her ambitions to be a personal trainer for the rest of the season. (See, e.g. the dance battle re-match with  the Trophy Wives.) 

    2) She'll claim she passed and is now certified, but for some reason she doesn't choose to start training right now. Sorry Will! (See, e.g. her placing second in a faux ballroom dance competition and then not doing anything further because Todd didn't enjoy competing.)

    3) She'll claim she's certified and will start training under Jessica's supervision, because Will won't pretend she's qualified to teach by herself when she actually failed the exam.

    4) She'll claim she's been certified by a different, unspecified certification body, rather than the NASM certification she was shown studying for. This will explain why she is never listed as a NASM certified trainer, and she will never tell which "certification" she has, or else she will print her own certification.

    5) She will declare herself a "NoBS Active Certified Personal Trainer." Will refuses to "hire" her and she will start holding classes to train other obese women in her high quality personal training skills.

    I'm sure there are many other possibilities. :-)

    I don't think Le Blur sent Whitney anything.  I think, at most,  the on-line language site has a record of its students birthdays and sends them a greeting.  I think the "gift" of a cat toy with "Best Friend" written on it (not even in French!) a boxed cookie (?) mix*** with a picture of the location where Chase "proposed" to Whitney, and a croissant shaped ring was provided by someone in production with a wicked sense of humor. 

    ***which some of the reddit super-sleuths tracked down and found on Amazon, a product made in Plano, Texas, also sold by Walmart.

    And actually Babs' husband and son were by her side they just weren't paying enough attention as she stepped up onto the curb.  They tried to catch her fall before she landed but were too late.

     

    I have some sympathy for Glenn and Hunter in this situation. It's stunning how quickly a fall can happen. I was walking with my 82-year-old father in a park near his house. He had some balance issues and I had my arm through his as we approached a gate that led to a meditation area he liked to visit. I turned my head and reached out with my free hand to open the gate and the next thing I knew, my father was on the ground.  Fortunately, he wasn't hurt, although he did tear a seam in his favorite corduroy pants. :)

    I felt terribly guilty about this, especially when he told me he didn't know what had happened. As far as he was concerned, he was just standing, and then he was wasn't standing. I probably reached Whitney-levels of  self-absorbed worry until my mother told me to cut it out. She said very matter-of-factly, "These things happen. We  know the risks. Your father isn't ready to use a quad-cane and that's his choice."  It was a hard truth to hear but I heard it loud and clear. A mentally competent adult gets to use his/her own judgment even if  you really really want them to do something else.

    Whitney IS obnoxious, but Glenn and Babs raised this egocentric bully.  It's past time for them to put a hard stop to the way she is treating them. But I wonder if they can, at this point. I can just see Whitney staring down Babs as a crew of painters march into the house and start moving furniture and setting up scaffolding. Then Babs scuttles into a corner, calls Glenn at work who says, "Oh, what's the harm in a little paint? " and Babs gives up with a "Oh, Hwhitney!"

    Seriously, I think this battle of who gets control of Babs and Glenn was planned as a major story line for this season. No doubt Whitney thought it would make her look thoughtful, yet cute, and Babs and Glenn agreed without actually having a realistic idea of how far she would go.

    I love the DRAMA of this episode description: "[She] must decide if she will give him a chance or not."

    She must decide if she will order pizza or not!

    She must decide if she will demand Buddy cuddle her or not!

    She must decide if she will sign a contract for another season or not!

    I feel safe in predicting Whitney will decide to give Le Blur a chance. The real question: will he decide to give her a chance or not?

    I don’t think she’ll ever accept that she’s demanding, difficult, obnoxious, rude and offensive in her behaviour, but real life will get her started (like when she went to a PCOS conference and expected to be treated like a celebrity—they pretty much ignored her. She didn’t talk about that one too much!). 

    Details please!

    So Whitney was invited to be a guest speaker at a conference put on outside Washington DC by the PCOS Awareness Association beginning September 21, 2019. She was advertised as being one of the  panelists and as offering a NoBS dance class during the conference. If you go to page 194 of the Social Media:What The Fuck Is Wrong With Her thread, you can follow the results of that invitation beginning halfway down the page where  the September 21 posts begin. And it is true, Whitney posted nothing at all about this experience either during the conference or after it ended.

    This is so true. They could make fake storylines that don't seem so ridiculous with just a little effort. If they want to subject us to yet another fake boyfriend storyline, at least make it more believable. Why does she have to meet a guy who lives in France? At least have her meet some guy while out walking her dog. Then they could have dog loving in common. He could have a regular job (they could make one up - it's not like we have to see him at his work). It could sound like a natural progression of a relationship. He could go with her to her fertility appointments (blurred of course) and then struggle with deciding if he wants to get serious with a woman who wants a baby... etc. She could still have her other stupid, made-up storylines but at least the genesis of the relationship wouldn't be completely absurd. We would know she's lying but it wouldn't be so obvious. 

    Hey, that's how Ryan met the woman who just had his baby  - while walking their respective dogs. Maybe Whitney could call her up and ask her how she did it? Oh wait . . .

    I don’t think I believe for a minute that this guy is in his 30s.  He looks 24-25 tops.

     

    I agree with you - not to mention that by the time they are in their thirties, I think most rapper wanna-bes have faced the sad truth that they aren't going to be the next Drake.

    Whitney doesn't  particularly want a child. I'm convinced that at the beginning of each season they get a big white board out and brainstorm plots for the upcoming season.  Then they narrow the choices down and pick 2 or 3 for the season. They probably would have better luck if they drank while they did it.

    You don't think they drink while they do it? I'd put money on it! :D

    That eonline article is beyond stupid. Clearly Whitney has rushed out to defend against all the talk that her French man from France has a suspiciously American accent to his English. "Mais non!" says Whitney, "his English is [so] perfect that he doesn't even sound French. In fact, he'll put on the French-to-English accent as a joke for me and do it and we laugh about it. . . . He actually grew up with one of his friends who had an American mom, so he almost grew up bilingual spending so much time there with the friends."

    Well how interesting and COMPLETELY believable!! So he joined the exchange to keep up his totally fluent and American-accented English by practicing conversation with you, while you joined to learn to count to ten and order breakfast in French? Somehow that doesn't sound like the sort of exchange a well-run program would promote.

    Oh wait, I forgot. At some point he was an exchange partner, but now he is your tutor? Soon to be your suitor?! (And isn't that just the cutest rhyme and not barf-worthy AT ALL?!)  How much is TLC paying him for your lessons? How did you get TLC to agree to the invisibility clause in his contract? Or was TLC forced into providing it because they couldn't get anyone to "date" you without it, after the Chase debacle? When do we get to see his blanked-out face on this side of the Atlantic? Or have you convinced him that you are notorious enough that if he but once sets foot on American soil in your company, the two of you will be hounded unmercifully by the paparazzi? Which I've got to assume is not worrying him because he has no intention of making the trip?  That is, if he actually is whatever you say he is, as opposed to yet another phony-baloney "relationship."  Only this time with a French accent. Oops, I meant without a French accent!

    She is shilling another menstrual cup on insta. This product is apparently "for having fun . . with clean sheets"" at "any time of the month,"  because this one doesn't have to be removed during your period. Whitney is very enthusiastic about this, but she has created some confusion among her followers. Several people questioned the truth of this assertion (someone pointed out the package says it can be worn up to eight hours) but she has ignored them. However, she seemed to be triggered by one poster who described Whitney's enthusiasm as "disturbing." Whitney responded in her typically understanding way, "I hope you stop finding yourself and your natural, life-giving bodily functions disgusting very soon."  The  poster assured Whitney that she happily hadn't needed to concern herself with those functions since she was 39. Wonder how 37-year-old Whitney took in that information?

    OK, maybe the guy in the Tea Cup isn't her new amour.  Maybe it's just a red herring picture of one of her production crew.  But what do we make of the fact that it also looks like she's deleted the post (and the pictures with his face blocked out)  of the actual guy that she had proudly announced was her new man in Paris? So excited was she about meeting this guy, that she HAD to post pictures of the two of them, even when he asked her to respect his privacy. Did he get upset when he realized she'd posted them after all?  Is this romance (cough) ended before it's begun?

    Screw this private location in Marseilles with it's private pool.  Let her prove her belief in NBS and film herself strolling with her Frenchman on the beaches of San Tropez. 

    OMG, she'd start a riot.

    (I doubt the newest admirer is actually French. The press release says she's met a man online who lives in France, but he could just as easily be *SURPRISE* a graduate from Appalachian State whose parents live in Greensboro.)

    Per Nataliemeansnice's instagram, Whitney is with Natalie in Marseille. So much for the theory that Whitney is in France with her new man! Would Whitney take Natalie along if she were off to a romantic rendezvous with her online crush?
