While most 1000-lb Sisters fans are excited for the next chapter in Amy and Tammy Slaton’s journeys, some claim that season 3 could be the end of the series. Amy and Tammy’s reality show has become a surprise hit for TLC, but audiences fear that a season 4 might not be an option for the Slaton sisters. From running low on storylines to concerns about Amy and Tammy’s health, here’s why 1000-lb Sisters season 3 could serve as the finale to the series.
Since the beginning of 1000-lb Sisters, Amy and Tammy have had one goal to work toward – losing weight. When fans were introduced to the Slaton sisters, both Amy and Tammy required medical attention as their overweight conditions rendered them vulnerable to health complications. By the end of season 1, Amy had successfully dropped enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery. As a result, Amy was able to start a family on 1000-lb Sisters‘ season 2 and appears to continue her growth as a mother in the impending season 3. Conversely, Tammy has experienced a stagnant weight loss journey. For the first pair of seasons, Tammy hasn’t made progress toward reaching the weight loss goals necessary to get her health back on track.
Based on the progress Amy and Tammy have made on their weight loss journeys throughout 1000-lb Sisters season 1 and 2, the upcoming chapter is gearing up to be a pivotal entry for the reality show. In the trailer for season 3, Amy and Tammy are in disparate stages of their lives. With baby Gage and a husband to keep her busy, Amy has a life of her own and can dedicate less of her attention to being Tammy’s caretaker. Tammy, on the other hand, is at the same spot she was when the pair of sisters first starred on TV. After three years, Tammy’s failed to lose weight and has even gained some extra pounds throughout her 1000-lb Sisters run. The Slaton sister’s weight loss journeys might come to an end in season 3 as Amy has already achieved her goals and Tammy’s stuck in a rut.
Another reason why 1000-lb Sisters fans think season 3 could be the end of Amy and Tammy’s series is because of the health complications the stars are set to endure in the coming years. Tammy has endured several health scares from blood clots in her lungs to COVID-19 forcing the star to rely on oxygen tubes for months. Fans are concerned that Tammy might be experiencing more medical problems if she doesn’t make headway during season 3. On Reddit, one fan explained the uncertain path for a season 4, writing, “It’s getting to a point that unless Tammy decides to do something with her life this season, there’s not much more story to tell.” Another Reddit user grimly stated, “I’m not sure Tammy will live long enough to see [season 4].” Tammy’s health issues make the prospect of a season 4 difficult to assess.
Although 1000-lb Sisters would no doubt savor another 10 seasons of Amy and Tammy’s hit reality show, several factors indicate that season 3 could be the finale. Chiefly, Amy and Tammy appear to have concluded their weight loss journeys, even if Tammy hasn’t met all of her goals. Hopefully, Tammy can make more weight loss progress and be well enough for 1000-lb Sisters seasons 4, 5, and beyond.
