Season 12 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life (MBFFL) has brought exciting developments for the Thore family, especially with Hunter Thore stepping into the dating scene. Whitney and Glenn Thore were particularly thrilled to meet Hunter’s new girlfriend, Karen, and welcomed her warmly during a recent episode.
First Date Turns into a Family Affair
Hunter was nervous about his first date with Karen, fearing that his eccentric family might scare her off. However, Karen proved to be unfazed by meeting Hunter’s dad, sisters, and extended family. Their initial date turned into a family outing at Hunter’s movie premiere, where everyone had a great time together.
Glenn and Whitney’s Over-Enthusiasm
Despite the successful premiere night, Hunter’s concerns about his family’s involvement weren’t entirely unfounded. Whitney revealed that their dad, Glenn, had been overly enthusiastic about Hunter’s new relationship, even texting Karen since the premiere. Whitney feared that Glenn’s excitement might overwhelm Karen.
An Unexpected Ice Skiing Encounter
In a recent episode, Glenn’s enthusiasm led to an unplanned encounter during an ice skiing trip. Glenn tricked Whitney into accompanying him, only for her to discover that Hunter and Karen were also there. Whitney quickly called Hunter to warn him about their dad’s maneuver. Hunter, who had hoped for a private date with Karen, was not surprised by the lack of privacy in the Thore family.
Glenn’s Attempts to Capture Memories
Glenn’s intentions, though intrusive, were heartfelt. He wanted to capture memories of Hunter and Karen from a distance, taking pictures to look back on in the future. Despite the unexpected company, Karen remained unbothered by the family’s antics, much to Hunter’s relief.
Whitney’s Concerns About Glenn’s Plans
Whitney later discussed her dad’s behavior with Hunter, revealing that Glenn had been regularly texting Karen. She expressed concern that Glenn’s overzealous plans might scare Karen away, especially since he intended to crash their third date as well.
Conclusion
Hunter Thore’s new relationship with Karen has added a joyful plotline to My Big Fat Fabulous Life. While Glenn and Whitney’s enthusiasm might border on overwhelming, Karen’s acceptance of the Thore family’s quirks is a promising sign. Fans are eager to see how Hunter and Karen’s relationship develops amidst the family’s lively dynamics.
