Social Media: What's Up With Her?

I can't really see Twit wanting to do that until TLC dumps her. Everyone who's on YouTube, including Twit 4 years ago, is there becuz they want to be on TV. She's one of the few who made it, why go backward? And I think she's far too lazy, post-TLC, to do the work necessary to "build an empire" using YouTube as her base of operation. I see her continuing to play Body Positivity Advocate in Chief & selling her shit thru these bookings she gets -- god knows why -- to speak at organizations & colleges.

Has anyone heard if her show was renewed? I don't know how I would feel if it was cancelled. Either I would say "nah nah na nah nah you got fired!!!! Or  I would be sad because we can't rip her to pieces for her show. oh the dilemma.

[leighroda]

I don't know anything specific, but it seems like there would have been some announcement or filming by now, but I'm not positive about that. It does seem like they have a lot of new shows for the summer, but I don't know about the fall.

This is how I felt voting in the Previouslys.  Worst show is "worst show I love to hate watch," not "I'd watch infomercials before I'd watch the Kardashians."

So much to say...so afraid of saying it now. So here are some thoughts. 

Whitney, I don't actually get on your social media pages anymore. I used to, but after getting on Kerryn's and simply saying, "Hang in there", your fans attacked me to the point that it hurt my career. So what I am going to say is in respect to your television persona...

Girlfriend, your producers don't like you. In fact, they might hate you. You and your friends/family may be lovely people but, let's be honest here, you're not getting a good edit. They are finding every weakness, every fault, every nonredeemable quality you have and amplifying it. And they're doing it for our amusement. And, believe me, we're laughing. While it's true that they can't air it if you don't say or do it, at this point it seems to me like they're making SURE you're saying and doing it. And for what? For ratings. 

I know the money is good. The celebrity is good. You're living a kind of charmed life at the moment. But it's a life and image that you have no control over. Get off the show and get back on You Tube. Build an empire. Hundreds of You Tubers are doing it. I should know–my kids are huge fans of every one of them. We just paid $35 to see a guy from England named DanTDM and all HE does is play video games and narrate them while he goes. Build your own little empire straight from the computer. You get to control what people see about you AND your message. This TV thing? It's a mockery. 

I was rooting for you in the beginning. I actually LIKED you. But you're becoming a bully. By allowing your fans to attack people with different ideas than you, you're becoming the very person that your "No Body Shame" speaks out against. I occasionally get people over on my page who start attacking other commenters. You know what I do? I delete that shit. I don't encourage it. You don't have to, either. 

Twit could have the stupidest meet and greets like what you describe, or BGDC on tour like Fitness Marshall does, which is exactly what this "Master Class" was, but nooooooooo, she has to have a freaking cruise.

I honestly don't care what the duck she does. I was simply pointing out another option, knowing that she is reading this.

Can ya'll drink wine for me. Man I miss wine. Esp next weekend when GOT comes back. I got awesome dragon wine glasses that I wanted to drink out of for the premiere (still will just cranberry and sprite lol) i love sweet wine btw :) 

[TurtlePower]

Wow. I've been absent for a bit (moved outta the city) but it sounds like Whit hasn't changed one bit. 

Part of me hopes she's cancelled, another part hopes she's renewed and they make her look REALLY stupid. 

[Nancypants]

Would Whitney be Loathsome if she was thin? Undeniably... YES!

[mzskyhawk00]

How long does TLC go and still renew a series?  I'm ambivalent about it.  I'm really just snark watching so I can come here and know what people are talking about.

[ClareWalks]

So much classic Whit here. 

1) Doe-eyed selfie that I'm sure she hopes will make all her grotesque fans compliment her profusely.

2) "I'm only wearing a bra! In public!"

3) Avoiding work. Isn't that her entire life at this point?

4) Pretending to give a shit what anyone else is doing.

Whenever I see a selfie like this, I always have to wonder how narcissistic one has to be to pose for something like this.  It's  purely staged to demonstrate one's own 'perfection of beauty'.

I get selfies, but only in the sense of "I was here", not "I look beautiful" 

When I look at a picture like this, I always ask myself, now long does this look last before she sweats it out or has to pluck/shave.

I think this is just me though.  I've always preferred girls without makeup, or maybe just a bit.

In the Venn diagram of people who wear makeup, she does it so much/terribly that she merges with drag queens and 14year olds learning to wear makeup for the first time.

[TurtlePower]

Wow. Need attention much, Whit? Who does that?

She can't have a job. She's wearing makeup and her hair looks decent and she may have taken a shower. Then again she's just wearing a bra so that goes along with her crappy clothes choices

I'd guess she's in a (hopeful) holding pattern.  MBFFL's Season 4 was announced by TLC on Aug 10, 2016. So Twit must have her fingers & toes crossed hoping for a similar announcement about a Season 5 this Aug. Of course, in 2016 she had a million viewers & was still pretending to try to improve her health. The viewership has shrunk to 800,000 & her new message is dangerous. I'm about 60-40, leaning toward cancellation.

[Bubbles1967]

Maybe TLC realizes that her No BS campaign is in fact BS. Her message is fucked up. 

They have my 600  lb life, which is promoting weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle and hers that isn't. What message do they want to send?

If they had a choice my feeling is that be it would be my  600 lb life. Although it starts as a train wreck and has some seriously mental cases (including the families) it tries to be positive.

We all watch it and we cheer for a lot of them to succeed. There are  failures (penny), but also a lot of succeses (Christina - there are a lot more but I can't think of there names) At least there is the start of a goal and hope.

When does that happen with Twit? Never

 I also believe they think her message is fucked up. Every season they make her look worse and worse, and they're doing it on purpose. I for one think she has it coming, she is so full of herself. 

[M.F. Luder]

I don't think they care about whether her message is fucked up or not, I think they care that it's boring as hell. They need to come up with a storyline that doesn't try to make something meaningless seem like it's super important (dance battle), doesn't go nowhere (all of the "jobs" she's had), or isn't otherwise obviously fake (all of her "romantic interests"). If she just had an actual life, this show would at least be as interesting as any other reality show about a dysfunctional narcissist. Whitney is probably an entertaining person to be friends with, but the show tries to manufacture scenarios to make her seem more interesting than she actually is, and it just makes her seem insufferable.

Definitely. She might be the "wacky friend" on a show, but she shouldn't be the lead of a show. There's nothing there to carry it.

[Ocean Chick]

TLC doesn't care if her message is good or bad, on track or a failure, as long as she's making them more money than she costs them.  And still has decent ratings, whether or not it's just people hate watching.  Views is views, to them.  About the only thing that would take her off the screen is some kind of scandel - she was caught doing porn or having an affair with a married man, or a underaged kid.

I wonder if that tipping point hasn't been reached. How many more days of fabulousness does Greensboro, NC, offer? To continue how fab the Twitney life is, does MBFFL have to film in new locations, like NYC, which must have cost a bundle compared to other story arcs. I just can't see TLC spending that kind of money.

[Cherrio]

I saw a woman last night with her two kids at a restaurant.

I wondered if she was one of Whitneys fans.

Her kids are on death row.

The girl around 10 weighed close to 200 lbs, the boy around 8 maybe 150.  They both had trouble walking, were actually waddling. Both their stomachs were protruding way past their bodies and their faces were extremely puffed out.  

Does the little girl see Whitney on TV and believe her bullshit too?

No joke, she won't live to 16 if she does.

It would be, if it were real.  Unfortunately, with this crew, it would probably turn out to be another fake situation, just like the fake boyfriend and the fake lesbian "relationship" and the workouts with Will and the internship with the radio show.  Not to mention all those fake dance-off and contests that she keeps winning.

The annoying thing is, Whitney and her fans would read this post and think "how dare they body-shame those kids? And fake concern for their health? So stupid! How do you know they're unhealthy?" BECAUSE THEY ARE 200-LB CHILDREN, that's how. It is generally pretty easy for anyone with a basic education to make basic judgments about someone's health based on how they look. You can tell someone like Whitney is unhealthy not just because of her super morbid obesity, but by her stringy hair, sallow skin, uneven gait, difficulty breathing, etc. My older brother has gotten so fat in his belly and neck, he gets out of breath *just standing there.* I am allowed to be concerned about his health as it pertains to his size. Whit fans should accept that.

[okerry]

If they do renew this show, I hope they rename it "My Big Fat Miserable Life as a Narcissistic Food Addict." At least that would be truth in advertising, lol.

Yes, but didn't season 3 end mid-August of 2016? I seem to recall that Whitney got to announce the renewal on Facebook before the season even ended.

Good point. I'm now 70-30, leaning toward nonrenewal. I just can't believe a blabbermouth like Twit would remain so silent on the subject with her fans begging to know when a new season begins.

[Tosia]

Awesome article! Scared the shit out of me and I don't have diabetes. ...yet. 

Great incentive to lose weight for health above all.

Any talk of misery or eating or weight loss isn't on the show anymore.

 

Just the fabulous stuff, and 'fish out of water' scenarios.  Fitness Marshall, Horse Riding, Belly Dancing.  Scripted.

 

Crying in a tub of ice cream, friends saying that she complains that she's in pain all the time.  CPAP machine on display.  You're never going to see any of that ever again.

It looks like Tal's name is Rufus?  Or a pseudoname?  Or it's just someone that looks like him?  Too many people on this show with fake names.

Same guy. His middle name is Talmadge or something like that. It's a mystery why he's called Tal on MBFFL while always referred to as Rufus on Twit 'n' pals' FB pages. Maybe he thinks he can still get a job as a school counselor somewhere -- HA! -- if his true identity is hidden on MBFFL.

Wow. I was way of fun in my interpretation--I just assumed he was Jewish since Tal is a Hebrew name for both genders. 

[auntjess]

Talmadge is a southern name, I guess.  I have  some 2nd cousins with that name, and I always liked it.

[mzskyhawk00]

That actually explains slot with these people.  Or at least with Lennie and Tal.  Use a different name than you use in real life and maybe no one will know who you are.

Including Whitney! That way when she has a hankering for "laying on you with full power" you can easily escape.

[Ketzel]

I've noticed that, ever since the finale of the season, the Facebook Nit-Whits have been asking and asking when the new season is going to start. And Whitney has ignored all the questions, until today. In response to someone asking on her most recent live-stream thread, Whitney responded with a shrug emoji.  So far only a few of the Whits seem to have noticed, but the ones that have are questioning, shocked or sad no greenlight on Season 5 yet.

I've looked at the TLC lineup.  There's really not a lot going on.  Kate plus 8?  Still?  11 season of little people plus all the variants?

 

At least with MBFFL you can love to hate watching the show.
 

[Dot]

Twit's live chat today was all about pitchin' her cruise. With only about 2 weeks until the deadline, she's promising her gullible Nit-Whits that she's gonna hang out with them all the time: on the ship, while dining at cruise stops & even in their rooms "if you want me to," she sez. Getting pretty desperate to fill those estimated 200 bookings.

Also, she was repeatedly asked on the live feed about a new season. She finally answered a couple of queries with "I don't know anything about it."

Well, she'd certainly know if she were filming for it, so I assume the real answer is "TLC hasn't ordered any new episodes, but they also haven't officially cancelled the show, so we're just waiting to hear something, anything . . . " Her poor agent must be getting multiple calls a day from Whitney.

Oddly, Twit has posted selfies 2 days in a row of her sitting in her car in full makeup. The first was a still; the second was a live chat with the Nit-Whits. In the latter, after multiple comments of how beautiful she was, she stated that the makeup had been applied by a professional, not her. Since she appeared the same in both photos, I assume she employed the same makeup artist both days. So, what's up? Is she job-hunting & trying to look good in interviews? 

[AZChristian]

Her whole on-screen life would be considered interviews, IMHO.  Anyone who's tempted to hire her needs to see how she dresses for work AFTER she gets a job.  (Remember the baseball gig and some of her outfits for the radio show.)  My last employer had no dress code, but I think HR would have taken her aside if she showed up in some of those get-ups.

I've been back and forth because I haven't heard much about many of the bigger shows, they just announced this week that the little couple is coming back, im sure the Duggars are safe, especially with Jill's baby and a wedding coming, I think little people big world is safe, i haven't heard anything about sister wives or my 600 lb life though... so I'm not sure where Whitney stands in all that.
