The Plot Thickens

The rumors (the ones about Whit being engaged, anyway) are TRUE! It feels like only a couple of months ago that Whit introduced us to her mystery man, Jake. Now they're going to be married! Jake proposed during a hike with a beautiful Aquamarine ring! We don't know the significance yet, but we do know there's a story there and we're reporting everything we've seen online, including some crazy rumors that at this point we can't confirm or deny.

On this episode of The Plot Thickens, we're recapping Whit running into an old friend from high school who invites her to go horseback riding. But is there a horse big enough for Whit to ride, she wonders! And will Whit's horseback riding adventure turn into something of a Brokeback Mountain situation? Babs also plans a big surprise for Glenn for their 39th anniversary - we know how these two love their arbitrary anniversaries! But this year, Babs isn't giving Glenn the same old stuff, she's going BLONDE. Will Glenn recognize her? Will he feel like he's being serenaded by Jewel or will he wonder what stranger is at his anniversary dinner?

As usual, we’ve got a fun new episode for you this week! Whit is standing “ten toes” in her drama with Jiya, the owner of Trophy Wife Fitness, a competing dance crew to BGDC. But is it, really? Because Trophy Wife Fitness has an emphasis on FITNESS while BGDC really emphasizes the confidence building factor of dance. We also loop back with Buddy, who finally might be committing to taking his weight loss goals seriously, thanks to some gentle urging from Heather. Finally, in an ultimate twist of fate (and Whit’s rivalry with Jiya), Maney and Roy somehow talk Whit into a full blown dance battle - BGDC vs. Trophy Wife Fitness! But first, Whit will have to figure out what a dance battle is, because allegedly she’s never heard of one.

The rivalry between BGDC and the Trophy Wife Fitness girls is ON like Donkey Kong, and Whitney is attending rival Jiya's dance class. But Jiya's class isn't a bed of roses or a pleasure cruise - it's a full blown intense workout! Will Whit crumble when her skills get tested? Or will Whit be able to shock Jiya and her Trophy Wives at how low she can go? Also, Whit and the gang prep for Jiya and her Trophy Wives to step onto the BGDC turf, where Whitney has a couple of tricks up her sleeve. But will the Trophy Wives take kindly to those tricks and appreciate the homage, or will they be offended and will this feel more like Bring it On than a guest feature at a new dance class?

It's a rodeo on this episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life - but don't worry, we're going to save a horse and ride a Big Girl - and not just any Big Girl; a member of the BGDC! Whit and the girls are suiting up in their best cowgirl attire to dance at the Folk Festival. They've got to practice in front of a highway and the big day is finally here - but BOY HOWDY are they about to get a dose of reality when Jiya, a self-made, smart mouthed gal with her own dance crew comes calling. But before that, Whitney's Dress as a Drink party is finishing up, and we've got to wonder what possessed Lennie to bring a Bloody Mary? And by that we mean, why would he bring a date to his ex-girlfriend's party? We've also got a shopping interlude at an antique shop with Whit and Babs, and some serious discussion on keeping a man (and why Babs can and Whit can't).
