'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' Season 10: Fans want update on 'Frenchman' as Babs' health becomes central plot
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA: Babs, the mother of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star Whitney Way Thore, suffered a second stroke early this year after recovering from her first in 2017, leaving the family — and the show's viewers — worried about her. With four episodes in, it appears that viewers are becoming more interested in learning more about Whitney's long-distance lover, as they believe Babs' health has become the season's key plotline.
Babs is leaving the rehab center and going into a senior living complex, according to the August 30 episode. Whitney starts by brainstorming prospective locations for Babs, after the rehab center. Whitney gets Babs an interim assisted living home for a couple of months while her parents' house is being renovated. Glenn expresses how critical it is for them to find Babs in a community that provides recovery similar to what she is receiving from in-patient rehab. They surely don't want Babs to back down because she isn't getting the attention she requires.
