Get your spoons ready - Whitney is saving the day for evrahbody again

[3girlsforus]

Yea - Whitney is FORCED to confront Buddy. It’s all up to Whitney. It’s completely on her shoulders. Our heroine to the rescue. What would we do without her butting her nose into everyone’s business. 

[Dot]

The description for this ep is about the same as the one for Ep-2. Same ol', same ol'.

[Brooks]

Is Heather devastated enough to eviscerate Whitney and spit on the pieces?  That I would watch!

Sigh. Yeah.

* Whitney: "Be honest."

* Buddy: "This was left out for you to find for dramatic effect, it's what the producers wanted. Now, go ahead and be the concerned bestie."

But seriously, if Buddy's actually this bad off, he probably shouldn't be on the show. 

[Irate Panda]

Unless the “stash” is  some kind of left over from Buddy’s drug days, then my opinion of this show has dropped even lower, which I didn’t think was humanly possible because it means they are either fabricating a relapse story for whatever ratings they can milk it for or Buddy is still not well and should not be on this show.

So very true. I suspect it will be a “leftover stash” but that the scenario is manufactured along with the confrontation and Whitney hand wringing. 

[Ketzel]

Well, we know the show specializes in totally fake story lines (Whitney's pregnant!) and fake events (Whitney's Winning A National Dance Award!) so why should this be any different? My money is on Whitney Finds White Powder In A Plastic Container While Pretending To Clean Up Buddy's Room And Thinks It's Cocaine, But When Confronted, Buddy (a) tells her it was a a practical joke on her, (b) tells her it's his specially prescribed tooth brushing powder, (c) tells her it's his anti-athelete's foot treatment that spilled on the bathroom floor and that he scooped up to save as much as possible cause "shit's expensive." Or some other variation on the theme. Buddy decided to try his hand at cooking, bought cornstarch from the bulk dispenser at the local Whole Foods and forgot to take the plastic bag with the twist tie with him when he packed?

If the story turns out to be "Buddy breaks down, admits he's relapsed and returns to treatment with Whitney's help and support, I will donate money to an appropriate charity. But not before someone not connected with the show confirms that's the truth.

Heh. Your post reminded me of the night I was watching Live PD and they stopped a guy who had a bag of white powder on him. He told them it was pancake mix, that he was on his way home to fix some pancakes. The cops got a good yuk out of that, and tested the powder.

....It was pancake mix. :D

[Dot]

Spoiler

Well, not to be a spoiler -- which this post is, so stop reading if you don't want to know about Buddy's "relapse" --

If you follow him on IG, you know he has been C&S for 18 months, hence, no relapse. Whatever this stupid plot line is going to be so that Twit can exercise her handwringing chops, it ain't that Buddy is using again. Unless, of course, he & the producers are so crass & willing as to invent any story line to keep this pathetic show continuing.

[princelina]

Let's all just remember that in another week or two Whitney is going to be begging him to kiss her.  So if it's a relapse he's going to get sober again real fast!  

(Unless that is the cause of the relapse and they're filming out of order - haha)

But isn't he also then bringing his new 'girlfriend' to town and hinting at moving in with her or getting engaged or something?  If they want to build suspense about their stupid made up stories, they shouldn't show the whole damn season in the previews.

[aliya]

Lord, Heather, please get a life.  I can't believe she is crying over that mouth breather. That said, it is mean to keep bringing his name up to her and to show her discomfort on camera. 

Now Twit is a physical therapist and neurologist.  Maybe Babs needs to rest.  Why would you want to 'trick' your mother into coming to the gym? She such a terrible daughter.

OMG, just get it over with and take another go at each other already. You two pathetic losers were made for each other.  Shower scene, stolen kiss, hopping into bed together, etc etc.  

[Donut Bear]

Zzzzzzz

[John M]

I'm not a police legalologist but it seems ill-advised to film showing yourself handling illegal drugs that were in your house on TV and I feel like TLC wouldn't allow that if it was real.

[VioletNevermind]

Lord have mercy, this show is ridiculous.  First of all, HEATHER.  Girl, I want to jump through this television and slap the ever-loving shit out of you.  Buddy is the kind of “man” people warn their friends about.  He is bad news.  How is this a mystery to you?  You have small children, for God’s sake.  There are better men (and role models for your kids) out there.  I cannot imagine having a breakdown of this magnitude over a greasy, drug-addled mofo like Buddy.  YMMV, of course, but wow.  Get a grip, mama.  Go focus on those kids and find some girlfriends who don’t manipulate you like your fat, fabulous BFF does at every turn.  /lecture over

(Please, God, give me the strength to avoid commenting on Whitney’s picture being plastered on the side of a fucking RV.)

I'm sorry, Whitney doesn't have an eating disorder now? We are going with this being healthy eating habits?

[preciousperfect]

I’m already so confused. Buddy has a girlfriend but then he’s quitting his job and moving back to Greensboro? What?

 What was the job?  Did not know he had one and if so, how long?  A week or two?

[Snarkastikate]

"I gotta get Mom into the gym"...says the morbidly obese daughter.  Is this show always going to be 2 hrs now?  Why?  And what is she wearing in public lately, looks like her clothes are 10 sizes too small, that poor fabric is being stretched to the point it's just gonna blow.  Flab busting out everywhere...no body shame getting out of hand.   Heather, count your blessings, stop yer sobbin' already.   Buddy....ewww you're getting as gets as Whitney.

I mean he was delivering pizzas part time, it's not like he was walking away from a career as a public relations professional.

[VioletNevermind]

“Stepfather.”  Give me a royal break.  I wouldn’t let this guy feed my fish if I went away for the weekend.  

[preciousperfect]

Ah that’s right. Part time pizza delivery guy. How could I forget?!

[3girlsforus]

Yea let’s take an older woman who had a stoke to the gym without checking with her doctor. Smart. 

[aliya]

Buddy's new GF has a kid??? What is wrong with these women? And again, none of them think about the effect on a kid of having men in and out of the house - and the number of kids who are abused or killed by mom's boy friend.

You forgot his other job.... seasonal  actor on a phony baloney reality TV show.

[aliya]

Why isn't Babs at the hospital physical therapy or at least have a trained PT evaluate what she can do at the gym? Unless Ms Scantily clad has a degree, I wouldn't want her messing with my elderly, stroke-ridden : )  mother.

[John M]

You know what might actually be good exercise for an elderly woman recovering from a stroke? A nice walk feeding ducks.

I lasted 10 minutes. I can’t take anymore. Kudos to those who can take the whole two hours

Oh God this is so horrible!  I can’t actually watch this trash anymore.

[Snarkastikate]

Yeah this is pretty bad, isn't it folks.

Exactly, get the poor woman out and moving. Maybe help her join a walking group for the elderly in her community, she could make new friends but wait..then she wouldn't need Whit to save the day.

But you forget. It’s not about Babs or her health. It’s about Whitney saying ‘look what I did’ and making Babs back into the person Whitney wants her to be. I think Babs is more tired and therefore less able to do Whitney’s bidding. So Whitney needs to fix her servant. 

[Snarkastikate]

Oh......it's a 3-city BGDC tour.   Can someone send along a picture of the RV with her picture on it as it tools down the highway please????  

[Uuuugghh]

The thought of her being physical with Buddy makes me wanna “vom” too

I cannot believe this woman is nearly 35-years-old.  I was living the life of a grown-ass woman at 10 years younger than she is now.  Whitney has the mentality of an eighth-grader.
