2025/10/15

This week, Whit is taking her No Body Shame Campaign to the next level - aka, she's taking it to level 1, because the campaign was formerly just a blog and a hashtag. We're starting on the journey to make merch of all kinds splashed with the NO BS logo that Whitney devised herself - a stunning blend of hearts, ballsacks, and words that don't seem to connect. Whitney may not have a logo that's not on notepaper and she may not have an actual plan for what NO BS can do for the Grasshoppers, but she's

2025/10/08

This week, the scale is Whitney's nemesis. Though we aren't quite sure what she thought would happen when she dragged her scale into the kitchen to weigh herself in front of Buddy... did she think she'd be down a huge amount and be able to do a victory lap? Regardless, Whit's 10-pound uptick on the scale has her feeling some type of way - i.e., PISSED. After she sees the numbers, she starts a fight with Buddy, has a horrible workout with her trainer, and misses Glenn's long-awaited return to Tae

2025/10/01

We've finally reached the big day - it's Whit's first day working for the Greensboro Grasshoppers and she's coming up against some seemingly insurmountable obstacles - she's got to wear khaki shorts, for one! And for another, the stadium just has SO MANY STAIRS. What's a girl to do? Sit and cry on the training table? Or get up, show out, and make a great first impression, even while looking totally nude from the waist down?

Whitney’s worn a lot of hats in her life - dancer, dancer, dancer and dancer, to name a few. But this week on the Plot Thickens, we’re seeing Whitney in a totally new role: teen therapist? No one could have seen this coming! But don’t worry; she still manages to make things 100% about her. Will Whitney’s counseling help the little girls in her Little Big Girl Dance Class to find their self esteem? Or will Whitney agree that Rylie really might break the monkey bars? Regardless, it turns out that the

This episode, Whit says goodbye to 30 and hello to 31, but she's not doing it in the boring, usual way. She's saying "Aloha!" to BOTH! You might not know, but "aloha" means "hello" and "goodbye!" In any event, Whit is throwing a luau themed birthday party for herself and she's soliciting entertainment from the BGDC girls and a hula teacher all the way from... Charlotte! We had you going there, didn't we? And as if the hula performance wasn't stressful enough for Whit, her new boyfriend Lennie is

This week we’re recapping an old classic - the Penguin 5k! Can y’all believe it’s been this long since Glenn and Whit “ran” to save the penguins… of the world? We sure can’t! Whit and Glenn are setting out on a 3.1 mile adventure to prove to Whitney and all her friends that she can do hard things, even at almost 400 lbs! But will the one, single practice walk Whit takes with Glenn be enough to prepare her for race day? Or will her feet slow her down as she heads for the finish line? Tune in to find

2025/09/03

How the heck did we already get to the finale of Season 13, y'all? This episode left us scratching our heads for a lot of reasons, the least of which is not the fact that we had NO IDEA it was the finale until the very end! But what do you all think? Do you think Whitney is going to embrace that GLP-1 lifestyle (aka, continue embracing the lifestyle, but finally tell the truth about it) on TV? Or will the show finally end, leaving us wanting more? Also - did Whit throw anyone else for a MASSIVE loop

Today’s episode has the potential to be Whitney‘s worst birthday yet… And that’s exactly how she planned it! Trust us, she can’t wait to see how crazed her friends are when she makes a very exciting announcement. But will everybody react with a “hell yeah, girl!“ like Whitney is hoping? Or will they react completely normally, like people who aren’t totally obsessed with whit’s *journey*? Todd makes his solo talking head debut this season - but we’re still worried about his status. Todd: blink twice

Whitney's returning to Salem this week to visit her bewitching new friends! But something is rotten in Denmark... and it's not what Whit is cooking up in her witch's cauldron! Jess starts to openly show signs of anger toward Whitney and her willingness to drop Greensboro - and her Greensboro friends - at the drop of a witch's hat. And what's going on with Jess and Isaiah's marriage? Whit starts looking at apartments in Salem, but totally ignores the fact that her potential new abode is between two

This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re delving into all the worst things about Greensboro - from the perspective of everyone’s favorite Brit whose name no one can spell - Mabel! Whitney’s got Mabel in for the weekend and Mabel is pointing out everything that’s wrong with Greensboro - from the lack of men asking her out to the size to the nightlife.

This week, we’re finally getting the answers to a lot of questions we’ve been asking for quite some time, the most important of which is: did Whitney’s artificial insemination take? Whit is dead set on making one of two decisions: starting a family and staying in Greensboro versus moving somewhere totally different and starting fresh. But will Whitney get discouraged if this first attempt at pregnancy doesn’t go as planned? Will she fold under pressure if moving away seems too complicated? And where

2025/07/16

This episode is jam-packed - we should have called it "a birthday and a funeral" because it incorporated both Glenn's 79th birthday and Henchi's memorial service. Though Henchi's departure was tragic for all fans of the show, his memorial service was an affair to remember - it was rife with gifts, memories and of course, lots of plastic. As for Whitney, we're still wondering if she actually inseminated herself. In this episode, she's either got a horrible and very conveniently-timed bout of food
