Does TLC fake Whitney Way Thore’s competitions?

According to Redditors, it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibilities.
“Whitney’s competition placements,” the original Redditor shared online. “I’m genuinely wondering if all her placements in each competition she’s done are legit or just for the show. Each time she’s competed in something she’s placed relatively high up so was she just good or was it luck or just for the show.”
Reddit users generally have mixed opinions when it comes to discussions on reality TV shows. But on this thread, My Big Fat Fabulous Life users seemed pretty united. Most believe that TLC is scripting the competitions.

Comments included:
- “Well I’m thinking the 8k or whatever it was that she did in Hawaii and finished dead last, was real. The other stuff like the BGDC dance off I think was staged.”
- “Staged. All staged. And laughable at that.”
- “Don’t forget the ballroom competition. Very staged.”
- “Yeah the 5th out of 10 in season 6 strength and conditioning contest really had [me] baffled as well as the ballroom dancing. Those other competitors have to be livid. There is no way she beat them.”
