Babs Knows Best - My Big Fat Fabulous Life (Season 1, Episode 11, Part 2 Recap)
Well, finally, we're at the TRUE end of Season 1 and what a wild season it's been! Obviously, the heroine (and America's Mom) of MBFFL is Babs Thore, the queen of red nails and red lips! But will some fresh lipstick and a shot at Whitney's Big Girl Dance Class be enough to bring Babs out of a three-week-long funk from getting into a scary car accident? Or will Babs be clutching her pillow and lurking at the screen door for good? Hopefully Whit won't worsen Babs' condition by throwing any more heavy objects directly at her face!

Babs Knows Best (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 1, Episode 11, Part 1 Recap)
Well, well, well. We're finally on the last episode of season 1. How did we get here, y'all? In celebration, we're treating you to a FULL version of the Whitney Way Thore Fabulous Life Anthem to start off the episode - it's become our favorite song and we hope you all feel the same! This episode has Babs front and center - she's fresh off a very scary car accident involving a black-out and skid down a hill (embankment). Babs is unharmed, but mentally shaken. What will it take to bring her back to her BABulous self? We'll give you a hint: it comes in many shades, and it's one of the two things Babs is known for!

The Skinny (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 1, Episode 10 Recap)
This week’s episode may be called “the skinny” but don’t worry, it’ll be a long time before Whitney discovers the fountain of youth and weight loss stemming from Novo Nordisk. This episode is framed as a season-closing tell-all where Whitney sits down for an interview with one of her producers. While Whit may have been this episode’s intended focus, we couldn’t keep our eyes off the producer, who has been involved in other freak shows like “Dr. Pimple Popper” and “Thousand Pound Sisters.” Our question to him is whether he ever saw Whitney Way Thore’s success coming, and how quickly she asked for his digits after the interview wrapped.

Leaving the Nest (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 1, Episode 9 Recap)
Hard to believe we're already on episode 9! Even harder to believe is the fact that Whit talks so much about leaving the nest but never does. We've got a jam packed episode for you this week - Whit gets an EXTREMELY serious diagnosis of pre-diabetes, for one. Unsurprisingly, Babs and Glenn act like it's the end of the world. Whit goes on house tours with Buddy in hopes that they'll start living together - but don’t worry, that won’t be awkward at all! Finally, Whitney choreographs some Zumba for a breast cancer benefit. Will she crack under pressure (and back/butt pain) or will she "rock her curves the best" and pad her portfolio?

But there’s only one small problem: Whitney completely forgot to provide any identifying information about Ashley and somehow – shockingly – ended up giving her own life story instead! Tune in and hear how this Poorly executed double date ends!
