When TLC first introduced 'My Big Fabulous Life' with Whitney Thore as the star of the show to promote body positivity, fans instantly took to it. Week after week fans loved tuning in to the TLC show to catch up on Whitney's quest to get healthy and fit without resorting to any extreme diet or crazy fitness regime. Whitney's realistic approach toward her health and well-being resonated strongly with fans who were keen to follow her on her journey. As the show's popularity gradually began to soar, 'MBFFL' gradually began to focus on other aspects of Whitney's life too.

Fans watched Whitney fall in and out of love, her relationship struggles and friendship drama. Although initially, fans enjoyed learning more about Whitney, they soon grew tired of it as her toxic relationships took the centerstage over her fitness journey. From getting catfished by a man named Avi to breaking her engagement with former fiancé- Chase Severino, Whitney's tryst with romance began to tire fans. The ongoing season of 'MBFFL' features Whitney falling in love with a French man and already thinking of having babies with him even before meeting him.

Whitney's desperation and her boy drama is certainly not sitting well with fans. The recently aired episode of 'MBFFL' featured Whitney going on a retreat. The topic of conversation among the women during the retreat soon turned to Whitney's ex- Avi, when one of the women revealed that she too was catfished by him. From there on Whitney once again began to recount all her previous relationships and how they affected her. She expressed how she briefly toyed with the idea of getting a weight-loss surgery after her split from Chase. But the reality star changed her mind and decided not to go for it. She also complained about how things would be easier if she were thinner or a bit smaller. 

After watching Whitney once again cry over boys and complain about her weight, bored and annoyed fans began to wonder why the show was still on-air. A fan commented on a clip shared by the network on its Instagram page with, "Why has this show not been canceled yet? She literally has NO personality." "When are you going to cancel this show? It’s a waste of air time," wondered another fan. "She still has a show? How can tlc promote a show that thinks its ok to be morbidly obese? Utter garbage. Wire her jaws shut then it will all come off. Stupid show," commented a fan.



 

Another fan shared, "Worst show that I have ever seen on TLC." "This is one of the most Boring show on T.V," declared a fan. "Tie for worst show between her chantel and Darcy really these people exsist?? My world must be very small 😂😂," joked a fan. "It's like @tlc knows this show is so dead so now she's chasing some French guy...ridiculous! Her friend said it right...she's after another unattainable man. Therapy may do her some good," pointed out a fan.

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' airs every Tuesday at 9/8c on TLC.
