The Plot Thickens

Welcome back to an extremely tense episode - there’s heart-pumping, cardiologist-rolling drama left and right! In this first half of Episode 3, Whit makes a speech at her Alma mater, Appalachian State! Will she be crushed by questions she can’t answer, like “you’re not a doctor! What entitles you to an opinion on health at any size?” Or will she rise above by telling stories we wish Babs and Glenn didn’t have to hear about intimacy issues while being overweight?  Whit also visits her cardiologist for the first time, and begs for  Will, her former trainer, to take her back as a client.

Never have I ever: Attended my own FUNE. Have y'all ever attended your own fune, and what would you wear? We're here at Whitney's FUNE (how many times can we say "fune" before Whit actually coins in the term in Season 13?) and she is PISSED. None of us would want to be in that room with her, even once she takes her MBFFL headshot off the altar! Hot pink? For a funeral? Interesting choice! We're all holding our breath to see how Whitney absorbs the news that she's died (spoiler alert: it's not good). But at least Whit, Lennie, Buddy and Heather have a fun way to recover: a fun-filled couples trip to Boone! Don't worry, though, this is the first of many couples trips the show covers that ends in much more drama than happiness.

This episode: Brace yourself, because we’re having an intervention! As all previous efforts to convince Whit that (eating-related) crime doesn’t pay have failed, Babs and Glenn are taking things to a new level. With Tal at the helm of this rapidly sinking ship, Whitney’s family and friends decide that throwing her a phony funeral (a “fune” for those who have meowed ‘Amazing Grace’ with us in Season 13). Will attending her own fune be enough to kickstart Whitney’s weight-loss journey once and for all? Or will it make her so mad she backslides to spite her fake-fune-throwing friends and family? Join us and find out!

How has this day come? Are we really, truly, finally on Season 3 of our start-to-finish recaps of My Big Fat Fabulous Life? Yes (you're sayin' yes, right?) we sure are! And don't you worry, Season 3 doesn’t take a MINUTE to get up to speed - there's a medical emergency in the first episode! Plus, we've got adorable animals, a twist in a character's love life (hint: it's already been going on for months...), and a multi-hour Dance-a-Thon! Will Whit's new lifestyle changes help her push through the nonstop dancing, or will she crumble under pressure (and a potential "heart attacky" issue)? Tune in now to find out!!

This week, though we’re back with more of everyone’s least favorite recap “the Skinny,” we’re shaking things up and adding guests to the interview couch, and thank God because it’s cutting some of the tension between Whit and Mike Kane! We think it’s safe to say that there’s no one we’d rather hear from about Whitney’s life choices than Babs and Glenn - and they’re here to answer all our burning questions! Babs and Glenn reveal behind the scenes insights, talk about intimate moments and finally dish on some of the drama involved in MBFFL!
