8 Signs 1000-Lb Sisters Will Return For Season 7 Despite Cancellation Rumors (But Will Tammy & Amy Make Their Return?)
The unscripted series gets its provocative name from sisters Amy and Tammy, who once weighed a combined one thousand pounds. Amy weighed over 400 pounds, while Tammy weighed 725 pounds at her heaviest. Their siblings were also overweight, so they also got in on the weight-loss action.
Since making their television debuts, Amy and Tammy have lost a significant amount of weight, and now there are concerns their time on the show has run its course. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 found all the Slaton siblings pursuing their weight-loss, health, and fitness goals in dramatic ways. Now that all five of the Slaton siblings have had bariatric surgery, some fans are rightfully worried that their stories may have come to a logical conclusion. While it’s true the Slatons have lost an incredible amount of weight, there’s still so much work left for each of them to do. Despite rumors of the show’s demise, there are signs 1000-lb Sisters season 7 will happen.
81000-Lb Sisters Has A Huge Fan Base
People Are Inspired By The Slatons
One of the best things about 1000-lb Sisters is fans are inspired by the Slatons’ weight-loss journeys. When she made her television debut, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds. Though her quality of life was terrible, she resisted committing to losing weight. In fact, by the time 1000-lb Sisters season 3 rolled around, Tammy weighed a shocking 725 pounds. After a health scare landed her in the hospital, she finally realized that she had to do something drastic. She treated her food addiction, had bariatric surgery, and lost 500 pounds.
Many fans see Tammy’s non-linear journey as an inspiration. Before Tammy’s health scare, she stubbornly refused to change her diet or activity levels. It was easy for everyone to give up on Tammy when she was willing to give up on herself. The fact that Tammy could pull herself together showed fans anything is possible with determination and hard work. It would be a shame if the show were to get canceled because it inspires so many people all over the world to pursue their own weight-loss goals.
7Tammy Isn’t Leaving Kentucky
Despite Her Threats To Leave
Tammy repeatedly threatened to leave Kentucky during episodes of 1000-lb Sisters season 6. The threats came in the context of family fights. Tammy and her half-sister, 43-year-old Amanda Halterman, have been at each other’s throats over the house Tammy rented from Amanda. Tammy is also angry at 44-year-old Chris Combs and 48-year-old Misty Wentworth for not standing by her enough.
Tammy was making idle threats because she was angry and lashing out, but she was unlikely to stray too far from her family. Despite gaining more independence since losing weight, she still depends on her siblings for a lot of help. Tammy loves being on 1000-lb Sisters and seems to take great pride in inspiring others with her incredible weight-loss milestones. It seems unlikely she would endanger the show by leaving the state.
6Amanda Halterman Has Become Quite Popular During Season 6
Her Star Is On The Rise
Because she was going through a divorce, Amanda didn’t even appear on the show until 1000-lb Sisters season 4. Despite her late appearance, her dramatic life and hot-headed attitude made her an entertaining addition to the show. After divorcing her husband, Jason Halterman, Amanda reentered the dating scene and met a man named Rj. She fell in love with him and moved to Florida to be with him. RJ ended up ghosting Amanda, and she went back home to Kentucky.
Amanda has since met someone new and is happily in a committed relationship.
5Tammy & Amy Need The Show For A Stable Income
They Need The Money
Before appearing in 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy and Amy were social media influencers. Their YouTube videos were what initially caught the eye of producers. While their careers as social media influencers are impressive, Tammy and Amy likely enjoyed the money they get from appearing in 1000-lb Sisters. Not only are they getting paid for their appearances on the show, but their siblings get paid too.
If either of them left the show, not only would they be hurting their financial situation, but they’d be affecting their siblings’ financial situations as well.
The extra money they all get from being on the show is important since several of the siblings need more weight-loss surgery. Some of the Slatons want skin removal surgery, which is an expensive series of procedures. As long as the network wants to keep airing the show, the Slatons won’t walk away from the paycheck.
4Several Slatons Still Want Skin Removal Surgery
Years Worth Of Content
Though the Slatons have lost a lot of weight, their journeys are far from over. Losing that much weight has been great for the Slaton siblings, but it has left several of them with loose, excess skin. Setting aside how the skin looks, it can be debilitating in many ways. It can make it hard to keep the skin clean, which can lead to rashes and infections. Also, Tammy has so much extra skin hanging between her legs and makes it difficult to walk.
Several of the Slatons are desperate for skin removal surgery, including Tammy, Chris, and even Amy. Skin removal surgery is multiple procedures, so the Slatons could spend the next few years pursuing their skin removal goals. This could mean several seasons worth of entertaining content for the producers of 1000-lb Sisters, which is likely to keep the show from being canceled.
3Brittany Combs May Get Bariatric Surgery
She’s Not In The Club Yet
Since then, Brittany has quietly pursued her own weight loss and fitness goals.
Though Brittany has never stepped on a scale or shared her weight with the show’s fans, she has lost weight throughout the last few seasons. Though Brittany’s quieter than her in-laws, she’s embarked on her own journey. If there is a 1000-lb Sisters season 7, it could easily include Brittany’s bariatric surgery.
2The Slatons Are Entertaining
There’s Plenty Of Drama
The Slatons are a hot-headed bunch, so the show is never short on conflict. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Amanda and Tammy fought bitterly. The drama started when Tammy moved into a house owned by Amanda and accused her of being a negligent homeowner. Tensions simmered for several episodes, then erupted during an on-camera family meeting.
11000-lb Sisters Hasn’t Been Canceled Yet
At Least Amanda Doesn’t Think So
Amanda recently posted a Q&A to Instagram, where she answered fan questions from her social media comment section. One of her followers asked Amanda if there would be a 1000-lb Sisters season 7. Amanda said she couldn’t answer because she had signed a legal agreement promising not to discuss the show.
1000-lb Sisters fans weren’t comforted by Amanda’s answer.
Even though Amanda didn’t confirm the return of 1000-lb Sisters, choosing that particular question indicates the show will return for another season. Though it’s possible she simply doesn’t know, all signs lead to the series returning. 1000-lb Sisters is beloved by fans all over the world, and there are still plenty of stories to be told, so the network would be crazy to cancel it.
