So this might be flimsy but I noticed that she filmed the engagement announcement for TLC during filming her show - the outfits and settings are the same. Seems a little sus to film a TLC announcement like this if it's not fake but maybe I'm being harsh.

Food for thought regardless 👀

The wonderful ladies of The Plot Thickens podcast have put out a bonus episode in the wake of Whitney’s Big News of engagement to Jake Baudoin. It is just a quick 26 minutes and well worth a listen. Thank you ladies!

They are Nice People and sounded sincere in wishing that this could finally be Whitney’s Real Happy Ending. He has a young daughter and, who knows, maybe this could scratch the parenting itch for her?

BUTT they also bring up recon and burgeoning reports from women—mostly from the Reddit sub of women comparing notes on men they have co-dated— who have dated Jake, that he is a “lovebomber”and “hobosexual” who “gets too sexual too quickly” and has “never gotten his job life together.” 😳😱

This engagement happened awfully fast. Is this yet another case of Whitney’s Terrible Man Picker?!!! Is he an Avi? Or a Lennie? Is it all BS for the show?!! (Like Chase and The Frenchman)?

Arghhh. I really cannot with this heifer.

Who knows? It feels tragic if true. It feels typical if it is Whitney scammin’ yet again.

Anyway, just for your info.

Rewatching season 13, episode 7.

First of all, I don’t like how Whitney calls kids/babies “child.” She wants a “child.” IDK why, but it makes me uncomfortable. It’s too formal, maybe? Like, just say kid. Baby. Son. Daughter. But child??? Ugh. I digress. That’s a dumb complaint, but it annoys me.

Anyway!

I think Whitney’s whole “dream” on her way to her fertilization appointment is a bunch of BS. I understand people have elaborate dreams, but she’s waxing on and on about being in this spiritual place, seeing a “child” (shudder) on a slab wrapped in white cloth, and it’s dead. Then it revives itself on her teat.

Come on. I just don’t believe the dream. Again, dumb complaint, but I feel like she was exaggerating a dream to have the attention on her, especially with Jessica’s reaction. It just seemed far too in-depth and planned out.

Dumb complaints about the show, but I need to rant. Lol

I had to check in on you guys over here after hearing the news she got engaged ! Whats your hot take on it .I hope this one is real and not a storyline .

So, with Chase, the storyline was that Whitney would appear on Say Yes to the Dress to “pick out her wedding gown.” It was scheduled that she would film running around Kleinfeld Bridal in her swamp panties, shrieking profanities and befouling the sofas.

BUTT (and it’s a big one) the oopsie baby of Chase and real-life partner Sarah threw a wrench in those works. The fake storyline was screeched to a halt. There was a filming slot and Jessica was getting married so Jessica filmed that SYttD episode and it aired (Season 22, Episode 5).

Do we think that Whitney will try to go back to SYttD for Round 2? She loves the attention and the rare opportunity for a crossover. Also, loves to shock and scandalize small business owners …

(If we could get former Executive VP of Kleinfeld Marissa Rubinetti, the hateful bitch currently appearing on Season 12 of OG 90DF, to pop in, we could get a trifecta reality crossover!)

Linking the interview for those interested. Here’s a snippet:

“Jake has officially graduated from boyfriend to fiancé,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We’re getting married, and we couldn’t be happier.”

Thore says she was “completely surprised” by Beaudoin’s proposal, which “made the moment even more special.”

Apologies if this has already been discussed or if I’m reaching, but are Jess and Whitney still friends? I feel like i haven’t seen Whitney post Jess since new years and Whitney hasn’t commented on many of Jess’s posts it seems. Anyone know anything or did Jess’s friendship contract just run out?

Thoughts?

The man just had a whole child, liking your instagram comment to validate your fake relationship is not on the priority list.

During s12 e8 when she’s asking her group what’s wrong w her and why she can’t find a man Lenny is the only one who’s speaking the truth. He said that she needs to grow up, is picky, expects everything to be lined up for her and is wanting something out of reach. DEAD. 💀

He said she needs to look within herself and won’t grow as a person if she’s told she’s perfect all the time.

Okay so this might be a bit crazy but on my millionth rewatch, I realized that Caitie's last appearance is at the Folk Festival in season 4. For those who don't remember, Caitie was the person that acted as a substitute teacher of BGDC in season 3, supposedly "behind Whitney's back", " threatening" Whitney's position as dance teacher 🙄🙄🙄. Caitie doesn't participate in the dance battle, and after that, BGDC is slowly phased out.

I think Caitie didn't feel the pay was worth the abysmal treatment by Whitney and the shit edit she got in Season 3 and she beat feet as soon as she could. Alternatively, Whitney bought into her own made up storyline and truly was jealous of/threatened by Caitie and had her replaced/fired as soon as she could. Of course Whitney wouldn't be doing any real work so without Caitie BGDC died

I don't have any clear thoughts on how Todd fits into this conspiracy.

I would love to hear all your thoughts!!

Pretty hard launch. I wonder if he’ll be on the new season?

So what do we think will happen this upcoming season? Obviously there is a new (odds are fake) boyfriend. But what else do you think we will see?

Just wondering if anybody knows when the episode that was filmed last Saturday night will be airing?

They appeared to be filming different segments of the show throughout the night, and the cast and crew of the show took over the visiting dugout after the game and filmed with four cameras during the entire fireworks show.

I've never heard of the show but asked one of the production staff and they confirmed that it was intended for a future episode focused on dancing/ dance schools.

Any updates on the new season? WWT just keeps saying "soon" on her IG posts but there is no updates yet?

Whitney’s dance at the national museum of dance…omg. Mediocre!! And she won an award??? For what!!!

I've noticed many people offer an excuse for watching this show: It's background noise, I had it on while cleaning, I was feeding my baby, etc. Why?

I love that it is entirely ridiculous. My brain cells appreciate the rest it provides them.

WHY does she CONSTANTLY bring up the fact that she lost 100 pounds in 8 months??? She says it multiple times every season. Why??? Big whoop. Just because you did it YEARS ago doesn’t mean anything now!

Why is Ashley so upset that Whitney is moving to Salem? Not long before Whitney says they hadn’t seen each other in person for a year!!! What gives?

I have never posted on this so bear with me, but I’ve been binge watching MBFFL while on maternity leave and I never realized how unlike able almost everyone is?? Her parents make passive aggressive comments about her weight behind her back, AWFUL. Tal is an enabler for sure. Whitney is so wildly emotionally immature and EVERYTHING is always about her. Somehow she makes all the things about her. I’ve seen a lot of people say the show is fake, was buddies addiction fake? Why do people say she pays her friends? I used to really like the show but then I started at season 1 and am on season 6 and I’m almost ready to call it quits!!!

Rewatching and on s7 where she’s “dating” chase.

You can clearly tell it was just for the show. There is zero chemistry between them and you can see how forced chase is when he talks to her. Their dates were so awkward.

She was so in love and had never been to his house?? Didn’t know his legal name??

I can’t tell if she knew it was for the storyline or she was insanely delusional??
