Social Media: What's Up With Her?

Has no one sat Whitney down and told her that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise?  It doesn’t matter how many fake dance classes she pretends to teach. it doesn’t matter how many inappropriate CrossFit workouts she tries to do or how many 8Ks she struggles through. She has to change what and how much she eats.  She will never be able to out exercise her terrible diet.

People have told Whitney lots of things. She doesn’t listen

I don’t know that we’d ever know with her since she’s so ‘anti-weight loss’. In fact I’m surprised she doesn’t scold those commending her for looking smaller. Didn’t she just say she doesn’t celebrate weight loss? 

I've noticed (too) that she never scolds her fans for complimenting her on her supposed weight loss, even though she doesn't "believe" in weight loss as a goal. And even though she insists that she does NOT want to lose weight, and has said so more than once, her fans keep telling her how skinny she looks.

I'm pretty sure if I looked hard enough, I could find a recipe somewhere where it's been battered and deep fried. I mean, they deep fry whole sticks of butter and "baconnaise" which is a bacon flavored mayo, beer, sugar cubes, Jello, and Kool-Aid. Anyone want to ask Twit if she's ever tried one of these?

One year I was in Dallas during the Texas State Fair, so I went to check it out. Deep fried butter.

Considering Shitney's served fried chicken with dumplings, I'd bet she'd be all over that. I can just see Dr. Now saying "Whitney, when you 500 lb, deep fry not part of your diet."

[LordOfLotion]

What would be truly decadent would be deep fried Spam on a stick, maybe with cheese in the middle. Or you could go the sweet route and have pineapple in the middle with a honey glaze on the crust.

[Me from ME]

Well, you guys have evidently missed one of my favorite reality competition shows: Deep Fried Masters. It was on the Cooking Channel quite a while ago but I saw some re-runs more recently.  The judges were quite colorful and had found success cooking carnival food. I found it especially interesting because the taste and creativity of the food was judged as well as the cost effectiveness of preparing it in quantity. If you can find it I highly recommend it. I think there was only one season which is a real shame.

Similar, but not quite as good is Carnival Eats. The host goes from carnival to carnival tasting GIANT portions of artery cloggers. I haven't checked to see if Spam is in there somewhere but I wouldn't be surprised because chicken gizzards were featured at one fair.

I love Carnival Eats and other travel food shows. Makes me want to plan a vacation just touring around to some of these yummy places. 

In case you can’t find a fair with deep fried spam, here is a recipe for Chicken Fried spam. Similar and served with gravy and mashed potatoes.

[Me from ME]

So I looked around to see if Deep Fried Masters was available anywhere for viewing. (Yes. YouTube for $1.99.) Came across some articles about the show. One of the judges is known as the Corn Dog King, another "invented" deep-fried Coke, deep-fried butter and deep-fried cookie dough and does so well that he only works three weeks a year.

 

Yeah, I have been to my share of carnivals and fairs. I don't eat meat so there is a lot that doesn't tempt me. However, there is some fine Pad Thai to be had at the Woodstock, CT fair as well as enormous Cinnamon Rolls  and Eclairs. At Marshfield, MA judging from the number of people walking around with one, it seemed as if the 1/4 lb maple glazed bacon on a stick was very popular. The Common Ground Country Fair in Unity, Maine boasts "healthy, Maine sourced, organic" fair food. For the longest time coffee was not permitted since it is not grown in Maine and the vendors who set up just outside the gates did great business. At the CGF the blooming onions, potato chips and maple doughnuts are quite delicious. (Sugar is not permitted to the best of my knowledge.) Grilled vegetables on naan was a favorite of mine. Now I am hungry.

In case you missed it, there's a cruise with Sweatney and her Barnacle Company for the low, low price of $1200 per person! Barnacle Heather also chimes in to state that they're going to be celebrating her birthday. Perchance it's the year in which she FINALLY gets over Buddy (the real 'star' of the series)?

Does she get paid to go on the cruise? If so, how can I get this gig? Perhaps I should trotting out my very own  BIG GIRL POWER ZUMBA CLASS Y'ALL. Then post a Viral video of me shufflin' my feet, and shaking my cans around, and braying like a donkey.

low, low price of $1200

OK. I could book an inside for $598, an outside for $639, a balcony for $768 and a mini suite for $1145 today.  Prices usually decrease as sailing date approaches. So now we know how much extra it will cost to rub shoulders with Twit and the Barnacles.

Having been on the same cruise line with a large group of Goths I remember that they were somewhat sequestered.  I wasn't in the group but for the fun of it attired myself in Steampunk and blended in on formal night.

 

Yeah, I'll pass on the opportunity to be one of the NOBS AT SEA.

We're cruising that same itinerary next month. Without the braying and excuses for why she can't lead dance classes, etc.

[Dot]

Well, we finally know how many cabins Twit has to sell to get freebies for herself, "family, friends and special guests."

Since the answer is 150, I assume that means she'll have 14 people besides her. I count 8 F&F, leaving room for 6 "special guests."

So, instead of all those freebies going to guests, she actually could give away 1 or 2 in a raffle or similar, like her fans always beg her to.

So, Twit or Heather, whichever one of you is reading the forum today, why not take my suggestion to heart?

Actually she is ignoring the question about the type of cabin for the stated price. I strongly doubt it is a mini-suite or even a balcony even though she clearly had a balcony when the arabesque/sprained toe incident occurred. My rough calculation of what is included in the price (tax, port fee, automatic gratuities, soft drink package, souvenir cup) adds up to $277.50. I don't have any idea what the special excursion might be or the value of it. So, I am going on the assumption that they are getting an inside or ocean view and the 150 cabins will go toward upgrading the star and barnacles to balcony cabins or mini suites.

I wonder how many people went on the cruise last year. It didn't look like 150. They've blocked $180,000 worth of cabins

I would bet tonight's lottery tickets that it's an inside cabin.  We are doing that exact itinerary in April.  Our base price (not counting all of the port fees and taxes) is approximately $1,200 each for a stateroom with a balcony.  We get no dance classes, no private parties.  If you factor in that part of that $1,200 is going towards paying for all the "free" rooms for Twit and the barnacles (and we know that at least Twit will have a mini-suite with balcony), the paying fans are going to be stuffed into inside cabins.  And that's the price per person, based on double occupancy.  If someone doesn't want to share or doesn't know anyone to share with, then double the cost.

My friend and I dared ourselves to eat fried butter at our state fair. Damn, I would do it again!

Twit has some interesting replies about the cruise to some of her fans. One of them commented about it costing more than most cruises since she needed to make money off it & Twit replied:

"It’s not really about me making money, it’s about everything that’s offered. If you were to book a regular cruise for the same ship/dates/etc, you would have no access to all the exclusive events we offer. I have to sell A LOT of cabins to even get ours for free, much less make any money on top of that!"

The poor fan immediately began groveling & stating she meant no harm.

Another asked, as many do with every cruise, about awarding a free cabin to one of her many loyal fans. Twit replied:

"This will be our third consecutive year! If we sell out I will be able to offer a freebie, but as it stands, I am still paying for my friends and fam!"

[Me from ME]

I just wanted to mention that to "sell out" the number of cabins she has blocked she would need 300 people because the fares are based on double occupancy. The "single supplement" is usually 100% for higher priced cabins/staterooms perhaps 75% for insides and outsides. That's why there is some discussion on sharing cabins. I have a really  hard time believing there are that many followers who would sign on and actually go on the cruise.

*I* want to go-- strictly for, uh, scientific observational purposes. NOT for trolling. I would never do such a thing.

I know you are all kidding about a certain junket but... I actually have been thinking about it. Wouldn't it be funny to set up a GoFundMe account for a sociological study expedition?  Perhaps a scholarly paper on buffet behavior while at sea?

Just to defend those of us closer to wimpland than 1/2 marathon:  

I could never run a 1/2 marathon. I am considering the idea of walking one someday. My daily workout is walking 4 miles. It takes me 62-63 minutes (with hills). My current goal is to get it under 1 hour. So I’m a bit of a wimp. 

But to me what makes Whitney a much bigger wimp than me is her whining and wailing. There is no getting around that a 4 mile walk is a big deal for someone her weight. If she had walked it, even at a glacial pace, without the dramatic fanfare I would have respected that. If she had stopped at the 5k without the dramatic fanfare, I would have respected that as well. But because of the wailing and moaning and crying and screaming, the fact that she finished is irrelevant to me. To me she lost any claim to an accomplishment by wailing like she was having surgery without anesthesia the entire time.

Yeah, it was the wailing, crying show she put on that makes her a wimp. She should either have very slowly finished (which she could've done had she actually taken it seriously to be active daily in her normal life) or have just quietly called it quits the first time the shoes came off. I can respect someone who tries and comes short. I can't respect someone who makes a mockery of even trying.
