The Plot Thickens
A podcast recapping episodes of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, the hit TLC show starring Whitney Way Thore.
Episodes
This week, Whitney’s hoping to take her relationship to the next level - and Babs tells her that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach (not his loins, as Whitney previously thought)! So what better way to get Lennie into her heart and her bedroom than to whip up something delicious - but what’s cookin’ in Whit’s kitchen? Will it be feast or famine; delicious or detestable; fabulous or needing a fire extinguisher?
We’re pulling out BIG stops this week - and we mean BIG stops, because it’s the summer showcase for Greensboro Dance Theater and Whitney and her Big Girls have been invited to participate. Whitney may have punted the solo to Lauryn, but the pressure is anything but off. She still needs to tighten up the BGDC’s choreography to La Danza, and they’ve got a long way to go. Everything looks like it might work out until an outfit malfunc...
We've got just what you wanted this week - another episode entitled "No Body Shame" in case y'all didn’t already get the point last time! Whit's on a mission to make "No Body Shame" a household campaign - not just for fat women, but for people of all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds. But will her mission end in success, or will the costs, financial and otherwise, be too much to bare? Tune in now and listen! https://www.instagr...
We’ve got a MEOWvelous episode for you all today! This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re herding cats - literally! Henchi-Mayne, the Beast from the East is headed to the cat competition with his coaches, Whit and Babs. Prepare yourselves FUR REAL for an absolute furball of fun - and nerves! But don’t be a scaredy cat! Henchi is FELINE good and there’s no way Whit will let this competition end in CATastrophe. Will the judges think He...
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 a...
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 workou...
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 r...
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 performa...
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 ...
Season Finale! London Bridge Is Calling Now (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 13, Episode 10 Recap)
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 ...
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 ...
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 t...
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. And don’t even get her started on the “theater district!” But will Whitney listen to ...
Are you ready to get witchy with it? Because this episode, we're back in Salem, the witch capitol of the USA to get more insights into the creepy haunts and HAINTS, and all things spooky. But don't worry - we've got some new tea to spill about the feud between Tal and Buddy - and trust us, it ain’t pretty but you're going to want to stop by and listen.
Round and round the cauldron go; where it stops, no one knows! Welcome to the witchiest episode we've had thus far of my Big Fat Fabulous Life! Whitney and her squad of incredibly unrelated individuals are headed to SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS to set spells, meet ghosts, and hopefully catch a HAINT!
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 sh...
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...
Well, the votes are in and, thanks to Isaiah and Jess, Whitney has chosen her League Baby sperm donor! In “Twinkle, Twinkle, Fertile Star,” Whitney puts Ashley’s womb preparation skills to the test as she undergoes a full womb energy cleanse - complete with salty food from an unnamed popular fast food restaurant (McDonald’s) and a plastic turtle named Cappy (after Cappy, of course) with his own enclosure! But will the egg wash, cha...
We're finally here on season 13 of MBFFL! We can't believe it. And to add to the fun, TLC has given your girls SCREENERS so we can watch the episodes in advance, create our episodes, and get you the recaps the day after the episodes drop on cable television! In the premier episode of MBFFL, Whitney once again fakes us out in a classic Robert Frost conundrum - two roads are diverged in Greensboro and Whit has a choice to make: will ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
