Let me show you the types of things that were going on
-at the first bachelorette. -Okay.
[Whitney] Previously on My Big Fat Fabulous Life...
[laughing]
[Glenn] We've got that big house,
and I think we ought to consider...
selling it.
[Whitney] Now that he wants to sell the house,
it might be worth renovating that bedroom downstairs
so that he could see the potential.
Me and Kenny are walking down the stairs
and he goes, "I'll take you on a real date,
but, you know I only like small women."
[Jaime speaking]
[Whitney] I also wanna go back to my fertility doctor.
You know, there is, like, a biological clock
that men don't have to worry about.
Oh, I get it like,
-you still wanna be able to have the option. -[Whitney] It's just weird.
Yeah.
-I see you! -I see Jaime.
[chuckling]
We got pizzas coming and I've got us a fitness class.
-What? -Oh my God.
We go through all this trouble
to have this bachelorette party,
and we're not having strippers?
Like, what are strippers for? [chuckles]
I swear to you, I told her, "No strippers." I promise you.
Mama, I'm telling you right now,
if there's a stripper at that house,
I'm gonna be mad.
[all exclaiming] Hey!
[indistinct exclaiming]
[people cheering]
Like, are-- Are there strippers here?
[Whitney] Okay, so, Jaime, there are no strippers.
We had a long ride back from the Charlotte Airport,
-and a lot of alcohol. -[Jaime] Okay.
-But, we are ready. -[laughing]
-We are ready to perform. -Let's go, girl.
Let's go, girl.
I know Jaime did not want strippers
at her bachelorette party.
But I did hire someone that I think is even better.
She's a fantasy educational coach.
-I'm scared. -[Angie] Don't be scared.
Be open to learn.
[Angie] I just want everyone to come in with an open mind.
It's a bachelorette party, people.
It's like, your last hurrah.
My name is Toni.
I'm the director of a studio called Fantasy Fitness.
We are here today to celebrate Jaime's bachelorette party.
[all cheering]
So, that means one more [bleep] for life, right?
-[all exclaiming] -Yes!
And we're gonna prep Jaime for this one more [bleep] for life.
Oh God.
So, what I need you all to do is just have a seat, please.
-On your mats. -[Whitney] Okay.
[indistinct conversation]
♪♪ We're gonna turn you on
[Jaime] Oh, we're gonna turn you out?
-[Toni] All right, ready? -Okay!
[Toni] Start by breathing in.
Inhale, arms are up.
Exhale, arms are out.
♪♪ We're gonna turn you on
Take one hand up your body,
grab your head, pull it over to the side,
release and stretch the neck around.
Bring the head back up to center.
Take your neck forward.
Pull it back.
-Take it forward. -[all laughing]
Take your hands down your face.
-Grab your mouth. -[all laughing]
This is embarrassing.
And I cannot believe my mom did this.
Okay, we got more.
I want you to turn over to all fours, please.
-[all exclaiming] Oh, God. -[Toni] There you go.
[woman] Here we go, y'all, here we go.
[Toni] So, I want you to start
by pressing your booty back to your feet.
And bring it back up slowly to the arch.
Again, press back, back.
Bring it up.
-Yes. -All right.
Do it a little faster, push it back.
And up.
-Push it. -[laughing]
Um, definitely not my cup of tea.
Oh wow, can I get out of here?
Where-- where's the nearest hole,
rock, that I can climb under?
[Toni] Like this.
[all laughing]
Then, switch hands.
This hand down.
[women exclaiming and laughing]
Go to your forearm.
Yes!
Push it up.
-Chest to the floor. -Oh, oh!
[Toni] And back.
[Jaime speaking]
[Toni] And back.
I think Jaime is an F-R-E-A-K.
-And I think-- -[both laughing]
[Whitney] But, I feel like I could see it in her face.
I feel like she was really taking in the information.
Yes, oh! Work it.
-Work it, work it. Yeah. -[Angie speaking]
[Toni] Uh-huh.
[exclaiming] Mom!
Jaime's just a little reserved,
and Jaime isn't wanting to do,
what do you call it? Like, public...
-PDA? -[Angie] Yeah.
She doesn't get sexual in public.
No, absolutely not.
'Cause I-- I do.
[both laughing]
Yeah, you would.
Good job, ladies.
[all cheering]
-[Toni] Angie. -[Angie] Yes?
Can you bring out our equipment?
-[Jaime] Equipment? -[all exclaiming]
[Jaime] Give me the smallest one.
I got the biggest one. What the hell?
-Ooh, I need this one. -[all laughing]
I'll take that one.
Yes, ma'am.
So, the first thing we're gonna do, y'all,
-we're going to work on getting it from... -[all exclaiming]
-[Toni] To up. -Oh, okay.
[Toni] Instead of just putting it in
and going, ah, in and out,
you're gonna put it in your mouth.
And you're gonna turn your head side to side
as if you're opening a Coke bottle.
[Cassidy] I'm not putting this in my mouth.
[Andrea] Whose vegetable is that?
[loud laughter]
[indistinct exclaiming]
[Whitney] Put it in your mouth!
Why aren't y'all doing it?
[Hannah] I was sitting there.
I was one of the fortunate ones to get the eggplant.
Um, and I didn't really know what to do with it.
Honestly.
I need you to stand up for me.
Oh, oh and I...
-You're gonna hold mine for me. -[Whitney] Oh.
-Oh, all right. -[Toni] Yeah, right here.
-What? -[Angie laughing]
-You know, probably a little taller. -Okay.
[Toni] This is where you got something to prove, okay?
-Okay. -Torpedo.
-[all murmuring] Okay. -[Toni] Go here.
[Jaime] I can't see.
[all exclaiming]
Oh, hell to the no.
She went Exorcist with it.
[all laughing]
You could definitely tell Toni, um, was experienced.
-[Toni] Head goes around. -Okay.
[Toni] Uh-huh.
Probably wouldn't want my children watching me do that.
But it was okay. It was funny.
-That's torpedo. -[Whitney] Okay.
Well, you can stand and hold somebody else's.
So, I get to be the man all the time?
-Why do I have to be the man? -[Jaime] Hey, I'll--
Listen, I'll be the man if you want to do it to me.
-You'll be the man? -[Jaime] Yeah.
-I'll try it. -You wanna try it?
[Jaime] I don't think you need to be on your knees. I'm short.
You know, this is not what--
Oh-- [exclaiming]
Hit my glasses.
I can't-- look, this is [bleep] weird.
You just-- let me move.
-You stay still. -This is weird.
I don't like this.
-[women laughing] -No, no!
I can feel it, I can feel it going.
I can feel it!
I can feel it moving!
[indistinct exclaiming]
[all laughing]
[Toni] Good job, hey!
[all laughing]
Well, I thought it was fun.
-Oh, yeah. -I'm-- I'm glad.
I think you did a good job.
I...
Well, I learned a new skill and I thought I knew it all.
-Right? -'Cause you saw me on that torpedo.
Torpedoing.
-Ow, I just broke my neck. -[both laughing]
-Now, the thing that sucks, Toni. -[Toni] Yes?
Is after gaining all this knowledge...
-[Toni] Uh-huh. -Um, I'm the only one here
that does not have a man to go home to.
-[laughing] -[Toni] But, you're gonna-- you're gonna--
You're gonna hold on to these--
-information. -[Whitney] I'm gonna keep it inside,
-and when it's ready to be unleashed... -Yes.
Boom-shaka-laka.
You know, my husband's gonna write you a check.
-I'd appreciate that. That'd be great. -[Angie] I know, Right?
-Thank you. -[Toni] Yeah.
[woman] Thanks, Whitney.
Oh my lord.
[Whitney] I think we all learned some valuable skills.
Toni, thank you so much.
-[Toni] Thank you. -This has been lovely.
-[all] Thank you. -See ya!
-[all] Bye! -[Whitney] Thank you.
Today was an amazing start to the bachelorette weekend,
and even though Jaime was, I think, low key, mortified,
Angie really outdid herself with booking this class.
And I think that all of the bridesmaids
are going to have some very interesting things
to bring home to their husbands.
It would be amazing if I had a partner to do those things.
And I still wanna hold out hope
that one day, I will have what they have.
Did you have anything else planned, or are we free to go to bed?
-I'm good. -I'm ready to bed.
[all laughing]
[Whitney] What are you doing?
-[Jaime] Hi. -[Whitney] Why are you out here all by yourself?
I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet.
-[popping] -[Whitney] Whoa!
[Jaime] What was that?
It's the, uh, this thing.
I just cracked it.
They'll never notice.
[Whitney laughs]
-[sighs] -What're you doing?
Well, I was just hanging out with the girls,
but I was looking for you.
Are they all up?
Are they-- They're up,
hair curled, makeup on, everything.
Oh.
Well, last night, Angie definitely outdid herself.
I thought we might just get some pineapple and pepperoni pizza.
But this was...
Uh, it was a wild ride. [laughs]
It really was.
Who knew that we had so many hidden talents?
I spun around on my ding dang knees.
I think it was a good start to the weekend,
but this morning I want to kind of connect with Jaime,
in a sober way.
And I've got a special gift for her
that I want her to have
before we start getting wild all over again.
Did you have fun?
-I had a blast. -[Whitney] Did you?
-Yes. -[Whitney] Okay, good.
You don't like something, you gotta blame your mama.
Oh my gosh.
Why? What?
Your mother was living her best life.
[Jaime speaking]
-She was-- -[both laughing]
When she said, "Twerk on the [bleep]."
I was like, oh!
Oh, no.
[Whitney] Shame...
Oh!
[laughs]
I'm feeling a little bit better this morning
after that class last night.
I am glad it's over with.
This is not like my mom to plan something like this.
I think that she was just trying to be funny,
and it was not funny.
Let her-- we are not too old.
It's bizarre to me, because I look at y'all
and I think...
that you seem so young, but at the same time,
I mean, you're getting married, obviously.
-[Jaime] Yeah. -And like-- but like, most of those girls
are married and have children already.
-Yeah. -[Whitney] It's so weird because I'm like,
"That's how my life could have gone."
But it didn't, right?
-I know. -But instead, here I am, you know,
just collecting cats and heartbreak, but...
I was engaged when I was 22, I believe.
And it's interesting to look back on
and think, "Wow, I'm a different person."
And, "I was so young then." and whatever.
But I can't say that I'm like, happy I didn't get married.
I mean, obviously, it wasn't the right decision,
for that partnership.
But, I certainly wish I was married now. [laughs]
You know, I feel like getting married over 40 is kind of like...
"Oh, good for her."
[laughs] You know?
-Yeah. -[Jaime] Like, I was talking to a guy the other day
and he was like, "My 40th birthday
was the best birthday I've ever had."
Some people say, like, "Oh, my back!"
Or "My knees", or whatever,
like, I feel pretty much the same.
The only thing that scares me about being 40 is not having a partner.
Because, well, number one, also knowing like,
I'm probably not gonna have kids,
you know, at this age, because I'm still single.
So, that's hard.
-To-- I mean... -You can have babies and be single.
I know I could,
but I don't wanna, like, go into it by myself.
And especially like, even with men and stuff like,
most 40-year-old men who happen to be single
are not looking for 40-year-old women,
or they're looking for-- or they still want kids.
You won't believe, on the dating apps,
all these men like 55,
and it's like, "Yes, I want kids."
-And I'm like... -At 55?
How old of a woman are you gonna marry? Like...
-[Jaime] Yeah. -'Cause I can't do that for anybody, you know?
If I was a guy,
-I don't think I would care about being 40 at all. -Yeah. Yeah.
[Whitney] Well, you know, when I got my eggs frozen,
I just kind of did it and forgot about it, you know?
And, I think I was just hoping that I would meet someone.
But I just never thought that I would be in the place
where it wasn't a possibility for me.
And so I just...
I don't like Mother Nature telling me,
you know, or like, circumstance telling me like, "Well, you can't."
But, here we are, [chuckles] about to turn 40.
So, I need to go ahead and make it a priority
to figure out what I'm doing,
about my eggs and about my fertility.
Well, I just really wanna thank you
for giving me another bachelorette party.
-It's already-- -Well, one is just not enough,
you know?
But I'm like, this is like,
the end, like, this is the last hurrah.
-Yeah. -[Jaime] Like, there's no more showers.
-There's no more anything. -Yeah.
-The only event is the wedding... -[Whitney] Yeah.
...and I'm like, oh.
I've been in touch with...
you know, Kayla a lot.
And Rachel to, you know, make sure
that I had planned things that you wanted,
and I heard that there was something that you might have wanted.
And so...
-That I wanted? -Yeah.
So, I got it for ya.
Oh, shut up.
Shut up.
Oh my gosh. No, you didn't.
-Yeah. -[Jaime gasps]
[Whitney] Kayla told me that you loved
this pearl robe for your wedding day.
This is gonna be so beautiful.
I don't even wanna take it out.
I'm so scared the pearls are gonna fall off.
Kayla said you might want to wear that while you're getting ready.
-Oh my God, thank you. -[Whitney] You're welcome.
[Jaime] Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
Jaime and her bridesmaids
may be "ahead of me" in some areas of life,
like, in terms of having husbands and children.
I do hope to find my husband
and maybe have children.
But, everything I've done in the past
clearly hasn't ended up in marriage.
All right. Well, you wanna go get ready for some games?
-Yes. Yes. I'm freezing out here. -[Whitney] All right.
-I know, right? -I gotta go in.
Ooh, I've been sitting here way too long.
-Oh, God, when your butt-- I know it. -Still...
I'm sitting here talking about, "I don't feel 40."
Oh, and then you try to get up off a bench...
[Jaime] I feel 50.
[Whitney] And I'm in pleather. Ugh.
People have told me that I'm too picky
-and I've never believed it. -[Jaime clears throat]
But, maybe I can't be this picky when I'm 40.
I think people just think I'm too picky
because they're like, "You're fat.
You can't expect much."
That's a smash.
No, pass!
[indistinct conversation and laughter]
Whitney is very picky.
Pass, yeah.
I said, "What did we do during the party?"
And, "What did we do with those vegetables?"
-[chuckles] Don't ask. -[Angie] So, how'd y'all sleep?
[Cassidy] Good.
It was pretty good.
It was a little rough waking up, but...
-[Andrea] Yeah. -[Hannah] I love my cup.
-And you like red... -I really do.
And yellow is my favorite color.
-How'd she know? -I don't have a--
-Oh, is it really? -[chuckles] Yeah.
You can tell Whitney put a lot of effort
in very detailed and amazing things
for us for the whole weekend.
[all greeting]
[Jaime] Hey.
All right, girls, are y'all excited?
[all agreeing enthusiastically]
Angie, this one's yours.
Last night was super wild.
-Wifey. -[woman] Wifey.
[Whitney] But now I wanna dive in to these gift bags
that I meticulously put together for everyone.
I tried to include fun stuff,
thoughtful stuff, and of course,
I had to drop in a little adult toy for everyone.
[all gasp]
[Diana] Look how cute.
-Oh my gosh, this is so cute. -[Jaime] Oh my goodness, look at this!
-What is this? -That's cool.
-Oh God. -[all laughing]
[all exclaiming] What is it?
[Whitney] You'll find out.
Yo, don't be shy.
Bad Day Killer, clitoral balm.
[all laughing]
That's for tonight, baby girl.
-Okay. -[Jaime exclaims] Oh my God.
[Whitney speaking]
[all laughing]
It's very discreet.
It goes right in your makeup bag.
I may not have a husband or children,
but because I don't, [laughs]
I have had a plethora of other experiences
over the last 20 years of my adulthood.
My favorite thing about this toy
is that it has cruise control.
And I love to share my knowledge with people I love.
Angie charged hers up Thursday night.
-[laughing] -...
[Diana] So, it charges? No battery?
It charges, USB.
[Kayla] That's hilarious.
[Angie] You're never too old to try new things.
But it took me like, 30 minutes
to even figure out how to charge it up, like...
And then I fell asleep.
[laughs] Like, I'm being for real.
Am I-- sleep is pretty important to me.
All right so, this is smash or pass.
So basically you have a good quality and a bad quality.
You put them together and decide
if you can deal with it,
and you still smash, or you wouldn't.
I guarantee I'm gonna be pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.
I'm gonna keep up with these qualities
so I can figure out.
-Dude-- dude... -If I see somebody I'm like, "Okay,
well, she wouldn't like that because they do this."
People have told me that I'm too picky.
-And I've never believed it. -[Jaime clears throat]
But maybe I can't be this picky when I'm 40.
And you know...
I am always told that I'm too picky.
But, I think people just think I'm too picky
because they're like, "You're fat. You can't expect much."
So, I'm really curious to see
what these girls' standards are like.
I mean, honestly, like, am I too picky
or the picking's just [bleep]?
All right, this says,
"They love children and would be the best parent.
But, they are a professional prankster
and start talking about all the pranks
they pulled on their family."
-Smash. -[both] Yeah.
I like a prankster.
"They enjoy trying new foods."
That's Heath, he does.
I like that about him.
"But they always have ketchup on their face."
[all laughing]
That's a smash. That's okay.
That's a pass, that's not right.
-That's not right. -[women exclaim] Ew!
"They are the most genuine and charismatic person you have ever met.
But, they accessorize every outfit with a fanny pack.
[all exclaim] Oh.
-Pass. -That's a pass.
I would say pass. Yeah.
[indistinct conversation]
"They run several very successful businesses."
-[Cassidy] Love that. -"But, they constantly mumble
and you can't understand anything they are saying."
-Oh, that's okay. -That's good.
-That's a smash. -No, pass!
She's like, "You can be broke, but you can't mumble." [laughs]
You can't be--
Tell me clearly how much money you don't have.
-[all laughing] -Oh my God.
Playing this smash or pass game,
I have learned that Whitney is very picky.
-Pass, yeah. Pass. -[indistinct conversation]
She is the most pickiest person
I have ever met when it comes to a man.
So, we're gonna have to dial that back a little bit
and figure something out.
They're not always gonna check off every single box.
I know that. I know that.
They just have to check off something.
All right so, let's shower Jaime with her lingerie.
[all exclaiming] Yeah!
[Whitney] Everyone was asked to buy her a piece of lingerie
that she could wear.
And let me tell you that I know
plenty of things about Jaime.
I know she don't always keep it PG,
but her mother is here.
So, I think it does change the vibe
of the bachelorette a little bit.
But then again, her mother is the one who hired the riding g--
It's very confusing.
I'm just gonna go with the flow.
[Kayla] This is your first one.
Marissa.
Oh God, oh God!
-Marissa! -[exclaims]
-[Whitney] I feel like a maid! -[Marissa] Yeah!
[Rachel] Now that's role-playing, Kayla.
Oh, I'm getting all the colors.
Ooh, sexy red.
[all exclaim]
Is that crotch-less?
-[Kayla] No, it's not. -Yes, it is.
[Whitney] Yes, it is!
[all laughing]
[Angie] You don't know how to get your clothes on!
Oh gosh, oh my gosh. [chuckles]
Heath's actually gonna like this.
[all laughing]
Heath's 19th hole.
[all laughing]
-[Jaime] That is-- -[Whitney] That is hilarious.
[Jaime and Kayla] That is funny.
[Kayla] You should-- you should put those on.
-All right. -Nasty.
-[Jaime] Y'all are nasty. -Simply nasty.
-[Jaime] That is so... -[all exclaiming]
[Kayla] Nice!
[all exclaiming]
[Whitney] Look at that juicy butt.
[Jaime] I'm weird about thongs, you know.
They gotta be wide, I don't like these.
[Angie] Jaime's beautiful.
We all know that.
She's gonna look gorgeous in those.
Like, all the girls have a super good taste--
Well, they know Jaime,
so, yeah, they were definitely Jaime.
But to be honest, I just keep thinking
about these grand-babies I'm gonna have.
Well, y'all wanna do a shot?
-[all agreeing] -[Whitney] Let's do it.
Do you think that you are ready to move on?
[Angie speaking]
[Whitney] It would have to be good.
I mean, if it was just like,
someone I felt lukewarm about
or like, the connection wasn't there,
no, I wouldn't probably care.
It might be easier to move on
-if you didn't talk to him every day. -[Jaime] Mmm-hmm.
[gasps]
[Whitney] Oh. Oh! Well, hello.
Ooh.
That is so cute.
Thank you so much.
This is the last day of Jaime's Greensboro Bachelorette Party,
and one big difference between Jaime's bridesmaids and me
is our ability to party and drink.
I definitely am not that kind of girl anymore.
I'm too old, I think.
But I did want to include something nice for the girls,
so I'm taking them for charcuterie and cocktails.
So cute.
And I think it's a perfect way to send Jaime off
and a good way to close out
a wonderful bachelorette weekend.
-I need one. -Okay. One.
[Whitney] Well, how is everything going with the wedding planning?
I don't know. I texted my girl today.
I was like, "Are we still good for cake?"
She was like, "Yeah, what do you want?
Like, what flavors?"
I was like, "Oh, yeah, I forgot about that."
Did you put out the no jeans edict?
[Jaime] I put it on my website.
I mean, someone's going to show up in jeans.
-I just know it. -I bet Kenny would.
Yeah, he'd be the one.
-Is he still going? -I don't know.
He texted me talking about some nonsense.
It literally doesn't even make any sense.
The last thing he said to me was,
"Why are you so picky?"
And then he tried to call me.
-[Jaime] You need to be like... -Right.
"I don't even want to text you and, like, why are you calling me?"
He's always calling.
-Oh. -[Angie] Isn't that cute?
Like, what does it mean?
Like, he's turning it around on you?
It's fine. You don't like fat girls.
Fine done. I don't-- I don't like you.
You know what I mean? Like, it's fine.
The Kenny situation,
it's just, it's been over and I think he wants to know
that everything is fine with us.
But it's like, "Kenny, there is no us.
Like, it just doesn't matter.
Like, you're not attracted to me.
Great."
And if he comes to the wedding,
sure, it'll be cordial,
um, unless he tries to kiss me again
or pull out the flying squirrel.
Do you think
that you are ready to move on?
[Angie] Yeah, we kind of was talking about that.
I mean, it would have to be...
You know, that's the thing.
When I'm looking at the dating apps,
no, I can't care.
Because that's actually nothing.
It's just a picture of a stranger.
The only thing I ever get on there is
"Will you sit on my face?"
-Oh, my God. -Oh, gosh.
-And it's like... -People are crazy.
-People are nuts. -I'm like, "You know what?
I might have had you not..."
-You know, "Had you just been like, 'Hey, what's going on?'" -Asked.
You know? And I've, sometimes,
if I feel like I have the time,
I'll be like, "Does that--
How many times does that work for you, really?"
You know? And then they'll be like,
"Well, most girls I try it on are actually pretty."
You know, something like that.
And I'm like...
-[woman] That's awful. -[woman 2] You know, you hurt his ego
when you said that back.
I was pretty enough five seconds ago to sit on your face.
-But... -[woman] Now, not.
[Whitney] It would have to be good.
I mean, if it was just like someone I felt lukewarm about
or like the connection wasn't there,
no, I wouldn't probably care.
But if somebody came at me the right way,
I saw that there was good chemistry...
-Swept you off your feet. -Yes. I could move on.
It might be easier to move on if you didn't talk to him every day.
[gasps]
Even though the Frenchman and I are not getting married,
and I know it would behoove me to probably cut off contact
so that I could fully move on,
it's just a lot easier said than done.
I still talk to the Frenchman very regularly.
Am I pathetic?
Probably.
But I'm hoping that I can work up to the point where
I can just fully move on.
I thought it was once you left France,
-that was it. -That's what it was supposed to be.
-Yeah, but-- -[Angie] But it's not.
And I don't think you can move--
I don't think you're going to move forward
-because you're still-- You're not over him. -Until he tells me
he's with someone or I meet someone,
I'll still-- I will probably, for the rest of my life,
be thinking about him. But...
At this point, I think you need to cut off all ties
because it's hard to let go of somebody
if you're still in contact with them.
You've got to put yourself out there.
Let's give someone else a chance.
You gotta get out, though.
You gotta move. You gotta be places to meet people.
-That's true. -You can't stay at home.
-That's over with. -That's true.
-Okay.
'Cause you know I'll be in the bed.
I know.
You gotta get out.
You're never gonna meet somebody at your house.
If you open yourself to do it actually
and not worry about him or what he thinks
or what his reaction will be,
I think that you could actually move forward.
Truly putting yourself first.
I know intellectually that if I want to find a partner,
I have to be very intentional about going out in the world
to meet other people who are there.
But I don't know where single men my age are.
And so I think I might need some outside help.
[Jaime] Every single one of you,
I know you all have busy lives and you all have children
and families that you go home to,
so thank you for taking the time out
to come out and celebrate me once again.
-Yes. -[woman] Aw.
But I promise this is the last time.
-[all laugh] -And I'll be--
And I'll be an honorary aunt.
I'll be Aunt Whitney to all of you.
Should we do a toast?
[all agreeing]
Toast to the best weekend ever.
[all] Yay!
[Whitney] This bachelorette party has been amazing.
Of course, it has got me thinking
where about how far behind I am in my own life.
And I think that I really need to make an appointment with Dr. Y.
-Y'all, let's get a picture in front of the strip. -Okay.
Dr. Y is the one that retrieved my eggs back in 2021.
And at that point, I think I thought by now
I would probably have a serious partner
and could use a surrogate.
However, here we are.
I'm still single.
Okay, so we're gonna go, one, two, three, "To Haven to Horton,"
and then we're gonna celebrate.
-Okay. -Here we go.
[all] To Haven to Horton!
[all cheering]
Karen's coming to the wedding, right?
-Yeah. -Karen says, "Plus one."
Yeah. I don't have one.
-Okay. -I'm working on it.
Work on it.
[Whitney] My brother has a date. Ryan has a date.
Angie has a date.
The only person that doesn't have a date is Cody.
But I can't bring him because he's my nephew.
So it's slim pickings out here.
[Angie] This neighborhood is... I mean, yeah, this is nice.
[Whitney] Well, thanks. Well, don't get your hopes up about the house
because it's-- it's not in great shape.
This is the room that I'm actually gonna rent.
What's up?
Why are you always eating cheese?
It's good.
-Come give me a hug. -Yeah, come over.
-Hey, what's up? -What's up?
-I'm good. -Good to see you.
I know. Good to see you.
Cat scratched that up.
[Whitney] It has been a whirlwind of a week
with Jaime's bachelorette party.
Now I'm glad Angie is able to stay for an extra day with me
before heading back to Alabama.
I do want to give her a tour of the Thore house.
She's never seen it
because it's never been acceptable for her to tour it.
So now she'll have a before in her mind,
so that when she sees the after of the renovation,
hopefully she'll be impressed.
Come on, Woosey.
Oh, Lord.
I know my dad is thinking about selling this house,
but I truly believe that if he can see the potential
he might reconsider.
So I'm crossing my fingers for that.
Now, this is the room in question.
Okay?
I have lived in this room...
Well, look at you.
Just relaxed, looking dainty.
[Whitney] Did we ever find the remote to this bed?
-Or is it perpetually... -I didn't know there was a remote.
-This... -What did he say?
Well, we can't find the remote to the fireplace either.
Is that true?
I have a couple of questions about this.
Are the blinds supposed to be yellow?
Um, I don't know.
-They look a little dusty. -But they're wood blinds.
They're real wood blinds.
-They're good ones. You can clean 'em. -Yeah.
No one ever comes in here.
Well, the cats do, obviously, because I do see also
that they've scratched up that couch that I bought Mommy and Daddy.
-Oh. -So this is what I'm thinking.
Obviously, we get rid of the carpet.
We'll get some fake hardwood.
And then obviously the bathroom.
See, that's that old wallpaper.
That's like 40-year-old wallpaper.
-[Angie] Correct -I think...
paint the cabinets.
New light fixture, new mirror, paint in here,
and I'm gonna rearrange this furniture
and make everything look right nice.
We're keeping this reno a secret from my dad
because I think my dad would tell me--
I mean, it's my money. But I think he would say,
like, "Why are you spending your money on this?" X,Y, Z.
You know, it's just he doesn't need to know.
I just want the impact to be like big.
I just want him to see it
and knock him over with how wonderful it is.
But I want to, like, decorate it.
Because we found so many like sentimental things, you know,
in the house when I cleaned it up last year.
-And... -I know Dad is-- he's a really sentimental guy.
No, but he is.
-Yeah, I'm not-- I'm not joking around. -No, he is.
[Hunter] He's full of sentiment.
-Yeah. -Okay, So, Hunter, you know,
I met Karen at the premiere.
-Ooh! Ooh! -Yeah.
-Go ahead. Give her the update. -Yeah, I wanna know--
-I wanna know the gossip on Karen. -Give her the update.
Hey!
There's no gossip.
-We're-- we're... -In love.
We're happy.
[Whitney] He said he loved her.
She said she loved him.
We're together. We're happy.
Look at a man in love.
-Oh. -Aw.
After meeting Karen at the premiere, like,
I just got great vibes from her.
And body language says everything.
And when you watch them two together,
they're in love.
Love, love, love.
Karen's coming to the wedding right?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Karen's his plus-one.
Yeah. I don't have one.
-Yet. I'm working on it. -[Hunter] Okay.
Work on it. Get on it.
I am racking my brain, trying to think of anyone
that I could bring to this wedding
as a plus-one. Like, there's no one.
I mean, obviously, Jaime's the one getting married,
so she has a date.
My brother has a date.
Ryan has a date.
Angie has a date.
My dad doesn't want a date.
And the only person that doesn't have a date is Cody.
But I can't bring him because he's like my nephew.
So it's slim pickings out here.
Well, let's show Angie the house.
[Angie] Yeah.
-Yeah-- -And then at least
you can appreciate the after when you see the after.
-Whenever I get this cleaned up. -Right.
Come on, girl.
[Angie] Fresh paint does a lot.
I'm getting cramps, too.
Ooh, you got cramps?
-Mmm-hmm. -I feel like I'm getting cramps.
See, I forgot, and I've come up with all my questions,
all my middle school-esque questions.
Because I don't know anything about--
You don't write them down? You don't have a binder?
No. And I don't know anything about my reproductive health.
[Whitney] As I walk into the doctor's office,
I am brimming with questions about my body.
Um, I want to know what's going on in my reproductive organs.
I want to know how my eggs that I froze a few years ago are doing.
I'm hoping to hear good news
about my ability to have a child in the future.
But also, I want to know what if that's not possible?
Can I donate my eggs to someone else who might need them?
I just need a lot of questions answered.
[sighs] I just felt nervous for some reason. I don't know why.
Because you're not prepared.
-Well-- -You don't know anything about your body right now.
I know.
I mean, I don't-- I mean, it's not like I'm waiting for news,
-you know? -Well, true. Yeah.
Like, it's like I'm trying to--
like, it's not like I'm waiting to see if I'm pregnant or something.
-It's soothing in here with that fountain back there. -It is very.
Well, you gotta think, I feel like a place like this
is a place where women are very nervous.
-Oh, yeah. -You know, I was nervous
going through my whole egg thing,
and I wasn't even doing it to immediately get pregnant.
Right.
I mean, you know. You're in the situation.
I shake every time I go to the doctor.
But you're in the situation right now.
-Yeah. -I mean, you might have to do the egg retrieval, right?
Potentially. I don't know what I'm gonna have to do.
I bet you're gonna have to do that.
I bet they're gonna have to go in there
and, you know, pluck them and put them somewhere.
[Jessica] You spend most of your adult life
trying not to get pregnant,
and then when you decide you want to get pregnant,
it just doesn't happen like you thought it would.
And then you're like, "Why was that worried this whole time?"
But getting pregnant has not been easy for us.
We've been trying for about a year.
I do have a condition, endometriosis,
that has been making things difficult.
We are seeing doctors and specialists.
And everything that's in my control,
we're doing.
But, no, it's not been as easy as I thought it would have been.
Those girls, let me show you their reaction
when they saw their cups.
Look at how excited they were.
It was hilarious.
[women exclaiming]
-[Jessica laughing] -That's Jaime.
Look at Jaime.
That's Marissa.
That's Kayla.
They've just never been happier in their lives.
Little tumbler topper.
-Who would have thought? -So happy.
That was a hit.
It was good.
So speaking of like celebrations
and plannings and whatnots...
-And I told you-- And I told you-- -Miss coming into the 40--
I still do not have a single plan for my birthday.
The vibe that I miss,
without throwing up on the banana boat,
is like St Lucia vibes.
Oh, my God, are you kidding me?
Just resort vibes, like going to coastal location.
Like on a plane.
You know? Maybe Intercontinental.
-Intercontinental. -Mmm-hmm.
What are you talking about?
Corsica.
-I'm talking about-- -I don't even know where that is.
-Ibiza. -Okay.
-I'm talking about Barcelona. -Okay.
It's no secret that I have hated my birthday for, like, 10 years.
And since COVID, like they've been extra bad
or boring or disastrous.
You know, we tried to go tubing in a thunderstorm.
We had a COVID drive-by birthday,
a pool party when it was like 55 degrees out.
It just, you know, it's really not giving
what it needs to give and I am so hoping
this birthday could finally give me what I'm looking for.
-[woman] Whitney. Hello. -Hi.
How are you guys doing today?
We're good. How are you?
Good.
[Whitney] You know, on the surface, this might seem like
kind of a routine thing.
But actually, I feel really nervous.
Um, I don't know if I would be able to carry a child.
I don't know if the eggs that are already retrieved
are still good anymore.
I don't know if I could donate them
to someone else if they're not.
Like, it's just a lot of questions,
and I'm here because I want the answers.
But the answers also feel like they can be really definitive
and really scary.
[Jessica] I feel like we're trying to get pregnant right now.
-I know. -Like, I feel like it's me and Isaiah.
Oh, I was about to say like it's me and you.
-[laughing] -[Dr. Yaloinkaya] Can I come in?
Yes.
-Hi. -Hi.
-How are you doing? -How are you? I'm good.
So good to see you.
-Good to see you too. -Good to see you.
I understand you have some questions
and you want to get checked again.
So wanted to just see what was going on.
in my uterus.
I'm curious because the last two years,
I've now suddenly gotten my period every single month.
-That's great. -And I went my whole life--
Now, are you on any medications?
-No. -Have you lost or gained any weight?
Well, I have lost.
But it started before
I even really lost this last amount of weight.
I lost about 50 pounds in the last year.
-But this started-- -5-0.
Oh, and I've lost 100 from my highest weight, so.
You know, patients with PCOS, as their ovaries lose some of the eggs,
unfortunately, and some of the hormone
changes occur in such a way that the vicious cycle
that kept them from ovulating and having their periods is broken
and they start having ovulatory cycles.
-So-- -But at this age, where it's like--
Some of it could be the age,
but some of it could also be the weight loss.
Okay. I'm about to turn 40,
so I wonder what my general fertility is.
I'm not trying to get pregnant, but I kind of want to know,
do I need to worry about getting pregnant like on accident?
-Or can I just-- -Well, there's always that possibility.
Okay.
I'm so ridiculous.
Okay, well, let's see what's going on
in the old pelvic region, I guess.
All right.
[Dr. Yaloinkaya] Okay. Now the pressure.
[Whitney] I'm getting my period now and stuff.
I'm just curious what all is going on.
[Dr. Yaloinkaya] At this point...
um...
I like to pretend I'm about to see a baby or something.
I'd like to see a kitten in there one time.
[Dr. Yaloinkaya] All right.
Okay.
Now the pressure.
So right now, we're looking at your uterus.
It's looking good.
No fibroids or anything like that.
This is a good lining.
It's not too thickened.
In a patient with a history of PCOS,
we sometimes would worry about excessively thick lining.
We're not seeing that in you. It's actually looking nice.
I'd love to hear. I just have always had all this
like, um, not shame,
but something tied to thinking like my body's broke.
I don't work right, you know.
So now, when I get my period, girl, I am so excited.
I'm like, "Oh, I'm cramping, you know?"
When I was walking into Dr. Y's office,
I was really, really anxious.
But after hearing what I would consider to be pretty good news,
I'm excited.
It feels like my reproductive organs
are still in really good shape for the age that I am,
which is great news.
I just hope that I get the answers
that I want to all of my other questions as well.
I just need a refresher.
I think I had... I think I had a decent amount of eggs,
but I can't remember how many I have,
and I'm wondering how long they can still be on ice
before I gotta... What do you do with them?
Can I give them away?
-Or... -Uh, most people,
if they're done with childbearing
or if they no longer intend to get pregnant,
they will discard them,
or they may donate them to scientific research.
-Uh, they don't get any freezer burn or anything. -Okay, okay.
-If that's what you're wondering. -Okay.
Now, one thing FDA doesn't allow
is a donation of eggs
that were collected with the purpose of that owner to reproduce.
You can't really donate them.
-What? So her eggs can't be donated at all? -To another person.
What if somebody wanted them?
As far as I know, FDA does not allow.
How can you tell somebody what to do with their own eggs?
There are other stipulations for eggs to be donated.
They have to be approved to be an egg donor.
FDA considers them ineligible.
[Whitney] You know, I've heard that word about myself a lot,
Doctor Y, and I hate it.
I am honestly really surprised and confusion about this.
Um...
I just... What?
I thought-- I don't know. I--
I feel like they're my eggs.
I mean, obviously, like I can't go steal them from a freezer.
But I'm just shocked to hear
that I can only throw them away
or donate them to science.
I just feel like part of me just really doesn't want
those eggs to go to waste.
When would you tell me,
like, I can't...
use your eggs to help you get pregnant.
At what age?
A rough age cutoff is like 43.
Okay. All right.
-Well, I'm coming up-- -I'm not suggesting you wait till that age--
Right. I don't want to.
I just have not... have not found the, uh...
It's not something I want to do alone,
and I've not yet found the partner.
But, um, I kinda, I guess in my mind,
maybe just culturally, we think 40 is it.
So I'm coming up on my 40th birthday.
So I was feeling a little...
I mean, that makes me feel a little hopeful.
Maybe I've got three more years than I thought I had.
Plus, you have your... our preserved eggs.
Already preserved. Yeah.
-Yeah. -Okay.
Well, I think I'm... I feel encouraged.
I might have three more years.
-Yeah. -Okay.
Sounds like you do have three more years.
Okay. All right.
Well, I really appreciate it.
Um, and I hope I'll see you soon.
I hope that, you know, sooner rather than later,
I'll have a partner and we'll be trying for a baby.
-So, if you know any single men... -Yeah.
...let me know, you know.
-[Caitlin] There you go. -Thank you so much, Caitlin.
Appreciate it.
All right. See you.
All right. Thank you.
Okay. You can just keep my underwear.
It don't need to come back on at this point.
-No, of course not. -Ugh.
[Jessica] Well, I videoed the whole thing.
Oh, thank you.
-So that way, you won't forget. -Because you know I'll forget.
I forget.
I think I'm definitely, um, I'm ovulating now,
which makes me--
I know I'm so not likely to get pregnant accidentally,
-but I'm like-- -Could you imagine?
It's like the first time I've ever...
actually been ovulating, probably in my life.
Because I've told you that.
When I used to bleed, I never had a cramp.
Like, I didn't know what it was like until now.
I might still technically have about three years to have a baby,
but I've spent so many years stuck in just this limbo
dead-end thing with the Frenchman.
And so I know that if I really want children,
I have absolutely no more time to waste.
-Welcome to the club. -Welcome to womanhood.
What the [bleep] hell?
Next time on My Big Fat Fabulous Life...
Is there something about me that is so wrong
that people won't even give me a first date.
It's not wrong, but you're intimidating.
Because I'm fat? Because I'm a heavyset lady?
You need to take the pressure off.
Be a little less picky.
Stop anticipating that you meet your husband on the next date you go on.
-I don't! -Just go on some fun dates.
You don't have any constructive criticism.
[Hunter] Nobody's really telling the truth here.
I mean, if you can't see what's wrong with yourself,
I don't know if anyone's gonna be able to convince you.
The one thing that holds you back romantically
is your size.
Would you consider losing weight again?
