The Plot Thickens

We’ve got a whirlwind episode today for you - Todd and Whit are still “doing New York” and things are ramping way up with the Fitness Marshall’s Dance Concert Experience! While Whitney is usually the one to go down during a tough cardio workout (à la Danceathon pass-out), Todd is turning the tables as the one who’s out of commission this episode! The Fitness Marshall is pushing everyone to the brink of exhaustion, and Todd to the brink of the toilet seat! He’s got Todd  running to the bathroom left and right during the workout! But as if that’s not enough to really piss Todd off, the Fitness Marshall also asks Whit to be in one of his YouTube videos - he doesn’t extend the invite to Todd. Todd is giving major side eye to Whitney’s acceptance of the invitation! In fact, Todd can’t even slap on a smile for the video recording - he just sits awkwardly nearby watching with a scowl.  The whole episode ends with a painful confrontation in the park where Todd storms off, claiming that the NY trip is his and Whitney’s last together, and that she’s on her own for the dance battle. YIKES!

In this episode, Whitney travels with Todd to New York City so she can attend a dance workshop with The Fitness Marshall, a hardcore dance/cardio instructor who loves big moves and big personalities! Whit and Todd have been watching the Fitness Marshall for ages, and are hoping to gain some inspiration for the Dance Competition with Jiya (Round II) which is coming up. But will Whit be able to cut the mustard in NYC and in the intense Fitness Marshall Concert Dance Experience? Or will someone fall flat, while the other friend sores ahead? We're also touching on the BRAND NEW TRAILER for the NEW SEASON of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, airing next month! LISTEN TO HEAR ALL OUR HOT TAKES AND THOUGHTS ON WHAT'S COMING! 

Today’s episode is a combination of revelations and brand new, daring experiences! Whit is risking it all for love and dance as she heads into an aquarium date with Nathan where he’s promised to reveal something that he “needs to tell her” - get ready because it’s definitely not what anyone would see coming! We’re also tuning into Daliana’s dance crew, a lesson in belly dancing that Whit takes to so much that she decides to do a full blown performance! Bad news though, the performance is at a restaurant and Whit is scantily clad at best. Even worse news? Whit’s whole family including Glenn and Hunter are in attendance. Will Whit use her “prop” (a sword) professionally and gracefully or will she drop it and skewer more than just a chicken kabob? Only one way to find out! 

On today's episode, Whit is going "belly up" for belly dancing! She's joining Daliana, who made her first appearance on the show as one of the judges on the Big Girl Dance Battle, at her belly dancing studio to draw inspiration for the dance battle rematch! Whit also continues to question her date with Nathan, a country boy who has two teenage kids and seems polite and kind, but might not be lighting Whit's fire chemistry-wise - will a secret from Nathan actually make things fizzle faster? Or will it change Whitney's view of Nathan in a positive way? Also, will Whit be inspired by her belly dancing class, or will she be thrown into a totally new type of pressure-filled environment at a normally fun place - a restaurant? And as if that wasn't scary enough - we're adding a giant sword to the performance! 

This episode we're unpacking a LOT - not only are we harkening back to the days of the Kids' Cruise to Lose (aka No Body Shame at Sea) and seeing if any of you queens have been on the cruise, but we're also jumping into Whitney's first date post-Lennie with a true country boy named Nathan! Nathan's got something special worked out for his date with Whitney (that the producers definitely did not pick for him) - he's "chosen" a dancing date so Whit can show off her "I've always been a dancer" skills! He also shows up with a handful of flowers for Whit, and your hosts debate whether flowers on a first date is a red flag, or "just a little much." Tune in and let us know your thoughts!
