There was one but it was a very short clip - we saw one line. It's Hunter though, not Todd.

Is it possible that Whitney is so disabled by her weight that she qualifies for AL even though she is in her 30s?

I don't think so. She is fully mobile. She can dress herself (except sometimes for shoes and often in poor taste). She can prepare her own meals and basic hygiene tasks. There are some things she can't do easily or perhaps doesn't bother to do because they are too much trouble but I don't think she is even close to qualifying for assisted living.

The link was referring to  Hunter, not Todd. Perhaps you misread the post. Hunter's snippet is towards the end of the clip.

Do they plan on moving Babs back home eventually? If it is anything like where I live, finding home health care aids is all but impossible. Since covid, they just don't seem to exist any longer, like so many other jobs that can not be filled.

No, not at all. People are eligible for assisted living when they need help with activities of daily living (ADLs). There really has been nothing on this show that tells us Whitney is not independent in all ADLs. She walks, she cooks, she showers, she gets dressed, and so on. I'm not convinced we've seen her with an actual assistive device, but using one to do an activity is still doing the activity. Whitney isn't lithe and graceful, but there's no way someone who is as active as she is would qualify for assisted living.

I wonder if Whitney moved in with her folks because Babs needs constant supervision. Between the helpers Abbotswood provides and the people the family has hired, Babs' care needs are probably met. But they're not there 24/7 and Babs shouldn't be left alone. That may be where Whitney comes in.

 I think they may have hoped to, there was talk of making modifications to the house. I was hoping right along with them, but from what we've seen Babs is maintaining, but not progressing.

Glenn is there though. I suppose Whitney is maybe moderately more able to help Babs than Glenn, but if Babs fell or something, I don't think either one of them could lift her back up without additional help.

I almost wonder if Whitney has some sort of bizarre FOMO with Glenn and Babs living at Abbotswood and Hunter is in Atlanta. She seems to hate living alone, to the degree that she doesn't want roommates who may one day actually move out. Maybe she doesn't want to be left out of any Adventures in Eldercare with Babs and Glenn?

Gotta admit, in my head I translated that as “fear of moving out” since she never seems to want to live alone.

Perhaps Glenn sees the possibility that Twit will lose weight when she is in AL. Food isn't always available, portions are controlled somewhat and with set dining room hours she will have only a window of opportunity for each meal. (I say this as someone who has visited parents in an upscale AL  There was a self serve soft ice cream machine but when it was empty it wasn't filled until the next day. Once again, I speak from experience.😁)

I think the apartment has a kitchen though so she has at least as much access to food as she does when she is living in her own house. I think common sense Glenn has probably given up all hope that Whitney will ever lose weight. She doesn't seem to even be trying anymore.

When he's not working. I was thinking of the possibility of another stroke. Someone would be there to get help.

I wonder if she's on the meal plan. Even if she were, she's free to go out to eat or bring food in.

[Me from ME]

Even with a kitchenette she would have to make the effort to go shopping. It seems as if it would be more trouble for her. She is accustomed to ordering out and not picking up her own groceries. The assistants probably did her grocery shopping. I doubt if she was responsible for that cauliflower crust pizza that Buddy made for them.

My late mother was in AL, and they provided an Alert pendant that she always made sure was close by, usually strung on her walker.  Also, she had a plan where she was checked in the morning, at lunchtime with her meal delivery, mid-afternoon if she wanted a snack, suppertime, and tucked in at bedtime.

Parking Lot Ice Cream and Cookies With Only One Bite Taken Out So You Can See How Good I Did will always be there for her, though.

[princelina]

And the filthy plates and dishes and empty wine bottles in her room when she lived with Babs and Glenn!  Get ready for round 2 of that!

Yes, some facilities provide a lot of supervision while others won't accept people who need as much supervision as Babs does. It's an "it depends" sort of thing.

[Joan of Argh]

Jessica’s tan looks like she rolled around in a bag of Cheetos… plus I barely recognized her… her face looks so different…. She certainly has a toned/ muscular body.

[Gramto6]

Wow! She. is unrecognizable now... well toned for sure but her body color is strange.

[Irate Panda]

Bodybuilders use the weird color tan to show definition in their muscles, but it does look like Cheetos dust.  I really like Jessica better with brown hair, I think that blonde color is harsh looking. I think a warmer blonde highlights like she had before would be better.  
 

Has Whitney posted any pics of her dog living at AbottsWORLD?

You're right.  She actually needs more than AL usually provides.

I think her big duck lips need their very own topic title .  Are they getting bigger and bigger?  Ughhh  That's all I could think about and see in her talking head shots ...and with that extremely unflattering red and black outfit that cuts her in a very unflattering place?   Just ..why??

Well at least she's covered up i guess

[LEILANI2]

Not sure where this goes so I'll post it here. Today Whitney reveals to PEOPLE MAGAZINE she and the french man are in an open relationship.

Quote

 PEOPLE's exclusive sneak peek of Tuesday's episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, the 38-year-old takes a trip to St. Lucia with a group of her friends. At the start of the vacation, Thore — who is in a long-distance relationship with her French boyfriend — reveals that she is now in an open relationship.

"I have big news… about the Frenchman," the reality star hesitantly says. "Well… we didn't break up but basically I was trying to figure out when we could see each other next and we got to talking about things and basically we've instituted a new, 'don't ask, don't tell' policy."

"I was like, are we in an open relationship? I don't know what it is," Thore adds before her friends, seemingly shocked by the news, explain that's "exactly" what it is.

"So now I've entered into an unconventional relationship," she says while her brother Hunter quips, "I'm pretty sure it was unconventional before."

I believe that "open relationship" with Le Blur actually means.... Le Blur is on his own in France and Shitney is on her own in NC.  Translation:  There is NO relationship!!

[Passing Strange]

You know, for all her faults I mostly like Whitney, but the "open relationship" thing made me snort, because, yeah, there never was a relationship. I have to give them credit, though, this will be an easy segue into Lenny Redux.

[Irate Panda]

“Don't ask, don't tell policy." No, really… don’t ask me because this shit is totally ridiculous and I know I totally said I was never going to talk about my private “relationship” with the Frenchman again, but it’s People Magazine, y’all.

I mean I totally get Whitney because Liam Hemsworth

and I are in an open relationship.  It’s open for me because I only watched him in a movie once and I also sometimes cheat on him with Miles Teller when I watch Top Gun and it’s open for Liam because he has no idea who I am.  Oh and I’m married, but for the purpose of this totally absurd post Liam and I are in an EXCLUSIVE open relationship. Now I know you’re wondering how can the relationship be exclusive and open at the same time? It’s simple, imaginary relationships can be whatever you want them to be. Did I mention we met at a klerb in Alasker because we totally did not.

[Teri313]

I decided to take a break from Whitney's shitshow this season - mainly because I feel sorry for her dog, it really bums me out - but I'm subject to the occasional preview here and there and holy crap, those lips. And did she get braces? Her natural facial features are extreme enough, but the duck lips really clown her up. I remember her getting them done at the end of last season, but I don't remember them being this bad.

Or he was handcuffed to the bed but decided to gnaw his own arm off and crawl out the window 

seriously though I can’t imagine even a guy like lennie wanting to tie the knot with this succubus… she’s loud, abrasive, rude, dismissive, has all kinds of health issues, thinks it’s funny to piss in the hot tub while sharing it with others just to name a few… who would want that?

I saw on another board these ask me anything they say are from from Whitneys IG…AbbotsWORLD origin…is she gonna blame Alasker and klerb on Glenn too? Is this why she keeps yammering on about churlish?

 

The question should be why is Todd her friend

Buddy is probably relieved

[monagatuna]

That's still pretty cold considering how much Buddy's been through in the past few years. I'd just refuse the question.

[LeesburgLee]

Marry FM? The one she “didn’t break up” with but now has a “don’t ask, don’t tell” open relationship with? Wow, she just can’t take no for an answer from a fantasy, can she?

Yes I think she could have skip the FMK question especially since imo it makes it seem like she’s really throwing Buddy who is or at least was a good friend under the bus to promote what a lot of people consider to be a fictional character.  Even if Frenchie Le Blur were real what’s she seen him like 2 or 3 times?….I know that question is not meant seriously but it comes off as just another way to embarrass Buddy and I don’t even like Buddy.  Honestly for many years he irritated me more than Whitney.  With that said Buddy probably doesn’t give a damn but I still think it’s tacky.

Some of it might be perspective but, yes, Whitney is a big woman with a big butt. She acknowledged that when she did the class for the assisted living folks. It's more obvious in some clothes than in others, but I admire that she wears what she likes and doesn't buy into the notion that fat bodies should be hidden.

Nobody said anything about her hiding her body, Whitney.  I haven't watched the show in years,  and was alarmed that perhaps her weight had gotten to the point of no return.  I'm relieved to know that it was just the wind causing the dress to billow out.

I "like"'d this post because of the last phrase --doesn't buy into--but I don't think she's always or even usually admirable for what she chooses to wear.  She spends most of her time on this series wearing tights and a workout bra.  I object not because she's a fat person who ought to be ashamed to show her body, but because she's a person who dresses inappropriately.

Maybe she feels she making a point by being so aggressive in wearing workout clothes when she is out and about--her dressing that way calls attention to her, not just because she is big but because 99% of the population doesn't dress that way to go to the store.  She is *forcing* us to notice her body and consequently how big her body is--and I don't think it's fat-shaming to say that.

I don't mean that she should go around in loose, dark clothing, either; she *should* wear what she likes, but within the bounds of what is appropriate for the occasion.  Like everybody else, no matter their size.
