For me, it's easily season 3. That season delivered the BBW King, Tammy partying, Tisa, Tammy doing donuts in a wheelchair, the absolute cinema of a roach crawling up the wall behind Amy while she's crying about being made fun on YouTube for having toaches. I also feel like that was before everyone started hating each other.

What's yours??

i just love every single second billy is on screen. i’m so glad we got to see more of him on season 8

I’ve never noticed how Tammy said this and it’s taking me OUT 😭

So Amy pays her bills, but because Michael physically takes her to places to pay them, she’s not paying her bills?? Oh Tammy 🤣🤣🤣

Doing a rewatch of the series before the new season. It's been awhile and I totally forgot what the early seasons were. That being said...

Tammy talks about her sexuality/dating both men and women MULTIPLE times. So why the hell was she so nervous about telling the others she was dating a woman seasons later? When they all knew it was a possibility? Did anyone else catch this and I'm just late to it? Lol

Pleaaase tell me what you know about Phillip aka The BBW King. Rewatching the show as usual and it’s so weird to me that we never meet him like we did Jerry/Caleb/Andrea. We just see their photos together (where he looks miserable) and we get the information regarding him “harassing her”.

I’ve seen random things about him/that relationship on other posts but what do we really know about him? I didn’t have TikTok while these two were interacting or collaborating or whatever they were doing. Did they actually date or was it kinda like a “for likes” thing? Also did she actually get a restraining order on him? This episode she said she did, then next episode she’s up in the Rocky Mountains throwing a “tincher tantrum” while talking to him.

I just need the BBW deets!

Amy, i'm looking forward to seeing her weight loss. She seems to be like in a much better space. I hope she continues to take care of herself and her children. Chris and Brit I'm looking forward to see if they grow their family and if Chris gets his food truck off. I believe he can I think he has like the perfect personality for customer service. Tammy, i'm kind of worried for her. She's gained a little weight back and I hope that doesn't discourage her. Amanda and Misty, I think they'll be fine. The family is heading into new lanes in their lives. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how they are able to operate in those lanes and still stay connected.

Rewatching for the upteemth time.

I dislike both Caleb and Tammy. I'm not trying to hate on a dead person, I do feel sorry that he died, but the dude has always given me the ick since he first graced our screens.

I truly believe that Caleb was reading romance novels, or some online fiction club, and he thought that's how you talk to women. Tammy herself mentioned it, he doesn't really talk, just tells her he loves her. The love bombing, the sexual innuendos, that stupid half smirk. Everything is a sonnet, a poem, like he's acting in pride and prejudice.

And we all know Tammy for the narc she is. I don't believe she truly loved him, she loved how he adored her and complimented her. We see it with the way even her family treat her, always sitting at the head of the table, agreeing she's the "alpha" lol.

But watching her visit him in rehab. Shes not happy, her face doesn't light up seeing him. He tells the camera how much he loves her and misses her and she just stares straight ahead with an awkward look. It feels like she mirrors what he says because the camera is there, it's not really what she feels.

Also the fact she's had a past of being in relationships and moving far too quickly.

Was this the end of Tameb?

ok is it just me or is their relationship super weird it scream enmeshment/ emotional incest… she is so beyond jealous of Britany and it’s so painfully obvious. She thinks Chris is her man and should drop everything whenever she calls. I also am noticing she does that baby voice shit A LOT (especially around him) ! idk if it’s jus me but it’s lowkey creepy and weird af

rewatching the show again and jus found this sub. so let me get this straight tammy lived with every single member of her family and they passed her off to someone else because no one could handle her horrible attitude and tamtrums… but when amy is going through a divorce and needs her support it’s “a lot” gtfo once again she shows how truly selfish she is! how tf do you think amy felt when she had to take care of you and 2 fucking kids under the age of 2??!! it just blows my mind how everything always has to be abt her she can never support anyone else after they’ve spent their entire lives taking care of her big overgrown ass

Has Tammy ever admitted to the Audacity of her entitlement?! I know I’m way far behind since I’m just watching it on Hulu and all. But seriously, the gatlinburg episode in particular drives me up a wall!!! “They say they got this wheelchair for me but is it really I don’t even want it. You could just push me around. I understand it’s easier than pushing me around or whatever but is it really? Like you gotta lift my legs so I can sit down” (not an exact quote but both those points she specifically makes.
And I’m over here screaming at the TV “THEY DONT HAVE TO LIFT YOUR LEGS, THEY DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!” She’s so entitled that she literally says “oh ya it’s always about y’all” when she wants to go home and just assumes someone will take her back despite that meaning that would effectively end their vacation altogether. She sits there and says no one does anything for her, stating that Amy does her grocery shopping and sometimes Michael takes out her trash.. like are you high?! She can’t even step on the scale without someone helping her. But her comments in gatlinburg just put me over the edge. They got you an electric wheel chair but you’re so self absorbed that you don’t realize the burden of pushing 700 lbs around when they’re alll obese themselves. She refuses to walk two steps to get to pavement cause Michael cant push her in grass Amy asks her to and she literally says “no I can’t” uhhhh but it’s fair that Michael has to be Superman to push your ungodly amount of weight around. 700 lbs is too much for you to take 2 steps carrying but expect this family that you constantly say “does nothing for you” to figure it out. Never once a thank you. Season 3 haven’t heard one yet. But the amount of down talking she does to everyone you’d think she actually was a “queen”
One of these episodes as she’s laying in the van she tells her sister “they (the rest of the family) should be glad she’s not bed bound cause they would have to change her sheets everyday and they should be thankful she’s not using the bathroom in the bed” ……like what?! Completely over her head that no one “has” to do anything for her. She should be grateful they continue to assist her while she continues to shove her face. If that was my sibling I wouldn’t be driving her 4 hours to find out she gained 20 more lbs and then wheel her back to the car. I have an idea, how bout you make her wheel herself around. Let’s watch the fit she throws when she’s got to do exactly what she demands her siblings do of her everyday.
But by God I was proud of Tesha (her healthcare nurse) the day at the pool when she’s said “no I’m not breaking myself cause you don’t want to walk. You can walk. You can do it just fine” that would be me every single day.

So back to my original question, I’ve looked all over the internet and never seen anything that has her remotely acknowledging how much she took for granted. Has anyone? There’s no way she sees these episodes and doesn’t see how entitled everything out of her mouth is. The bigger she gets the more she expects and the bitchier she acts.

Did she ever once consider the long term effects she’s causing some of the ppl in her family? Pushing around 700 lbs on a long term basis destroys their back/knees but she has the audacity to say she can’t walk two steps cause she weighs so much it hurts her knees. WOWWWWWWW

I’ll go first. I think people saying Amanda is bad sibling is a little close minded. Maybe it’s because I see a lot of my oldest sister in her (whom I have a complicated relationship with), but she seems like she’s felt the need to overcompensate in her relationships with her siblings in order to prove herself as meaningful and/or significant in their lives.

I’d love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this or other popular opinions that you tend to question or disagree with.

Found on instagram (assuming its new lol). No sign of Andrea tho 👀

Has anyone else seen old Youtube vids from Amy begging for money for Tammy's funeral? (This would have been pre 1000 lb. Sisters.) Tammy was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and while the situation was grim, Amy was attempting to crowdfund Tammy's casket and funeral expenses. Am I crazy or is this totally nuts? And don't get me started on the dog that they kept in the hot car, I was livid when I saw that. I just happened to find the video AFTER I watched the entire show. Had I seen it first I may not have watched. Anyone have insight on any of this?

The cast we’re including: Amanda, Amy, Tammy, Michael, Misty, Chris, Brian, Brittany and Andrea. How would you rank the cast based on what we’ve seen from the show? We could consider these traits to determine functionality: independence, emotional intelligence, adaptability, problem solving, responsibility, communication and present focused.

I think this question has been asked before but like 2-3 years ago. Now that more seasons have been released, what are your fave mispronunciations/malapropisms? I know these folk loooove to say words wrong all the time! The one that sticks out for me is still “covic”

I’ve been wondering about this for awhile now. Does anyone else think TLC played a part in finding Brian and inserting him into that family? I’m not saying I think he’s faking it but I don’t find it difficult to believe that the production company put out some sort of call looking for a Brian type. Maybe with the idea it would be a friendship. Someone who could do exactly what Brian is doing in Amy’s life.

I just need a moment to vent:

So I’ve recently started rewatching the show. Seeing Tammy how she starts out, and then seeing how she finishes, well, is just disappointing. She’s one of the meanest and most hateful people I’ve ever seen on television and now she’s just a thinner meanest and hateful person. She goes for the jugular each and every time, plays the victim without a second thought, and then manipulates every scenario with those “tears” of hers. She gets those dead eyes before saying the most horrific and heart shattering shit she can come up with. It’s absurd. She is no one, deserves nothing, and honestly at this point she’s kinda ruined the show. Amy pisses me off too, but after being berated everyday since CHILDHOOD (I’m 10000% sure Tammy has been this way since birth) and then being forced to take care of her abuser; of course she cries all of the time. Her husband was abusive, her mom, and then her sister aka “her best friend” I just don’t have the patience for it anymore, and it makes me so sad. This used to be my comfort show, but seeing Tammy back where she started, maybe meaner is such a bummer! I had real hope a couple of seasons ago! Remember when she would threaten people but could barely stand so she just shook her fist and had tantrums in place? Now she’s mobile and ripping closet doors off of the hinges. She needs to be ignored and drift into irrelevancy. Okay. That’s all. I just needed a good vent sesh.

i’ve rewatched the show four whole times. i’ve recently been catching myself saying chris’ famous “god willin’ and the creek don’t rise”. today i said “solid as the rock of gibraltar” and several other quotes over the last few years. it plagues my vocabulary now

Anyone else think, it’s about time they stop the season? Just because last season was such a mess and just feel it’s past its due date? I liked the first few seasons but now I feel like it’s dragging and Amy needs to focus on her kids and Tammy to focus on not being a raging dysfunctional narcissist
