In the My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 6 episode “Buddy’s New Girl,” Whitney Way Thore meets Buddy’s new girlfriend, Chelsea. The two women chat on a park bench. When Whitney asks Chelsea if she’s moving to Greensboro, she smiles says yes and admits that “Yeah, it’ll be weird.” When Whitney asks how long they’re been dating, Chelsea smiles again and shrugs, “I don’t remember what day it was.” Chelsea is quick to laugh. Whitney says (to the camera) that she’s feeling “awkward as hell” at this point. Whitney thinks she’s “expected to have this, like, instant intimacy with her.” But Chelsea’s really just a stranger to Whitney. Plus, isn’t Chelsea being coy with Whitney?

When Buddy joins the two women on the park bench, Buddy showers Chelsea with compliments and says he loves her. The couple find themselves saying “Awww, babe” at the same time and have a good laugh over it. It’s so awkward that Whitney says, “I just want to shrivel up into my skin and disappear.”
Sure, the couple’s cuteness might be a little annoying but shouldn’t Whitney be happy for Buddy? He’s clearly very happy with his new girlfriend. My Big Fat Fabulous Life airs Tuesdays at 8 pm on TLC. [BONUS: Stream any TLC show live through the TLC G0 App found here. Download is FREE.]
