TLC's My Big Fat Fabulous Life returned for an all-new episode on Tuesday night, October 4, 2022. After concentrating on her friend/business partner Jessica's wedding, Whitney Way Thore got back on her mission to help her best friend, Heather Sykes, find a new beau. Heather is a single mom and has been on the famed reality TV series since 2015.
The 38-year-old My Big Fat Fabulous Life star was first set up on a group date by Whitney a few episodes ago. After the group date, Heather decided to go on a solo date with Antwone. After texting him for a week, the duo went out, but sadly things didn't click for them. Hence, Heather didn't meet him after that.
To get her friend back on the dating wagon, Whitney set Heather up on another date this week with a guy named Alexander. As much as the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star wanted this date to go well, sadly, it fizzled out. Heather found him to be a little creepy and persistent.
Heather told Whitney that at one point during their date, Alexander asked her if he could feed her a piece of plantain. She added that she felt like he was there for all the wrong reasons and that it didn't feel genuine to her.
