1000-lb Sisters: “Never Thought She Would Get This Far!”
The change in Tammy is so profound that many fans are astounded. “I never thought she would get this far based on her behavior in the earlier seasons,” admitted the original Reddit poster.

1000-lb Sisters: Contrasts with Amy and Criticisms of Amanda
Tammy’s growth is often contrasted with her sister Amy’s current struggles. “Amy, on the other hand, seems to be going in the other direction,” a fan commented. While some still find Amy “compassionate” and “funny,” others feel “Amy has shown zero growth.” There are concerns about Amy’s parenting and choices. “Your sons are not developing as they should and your house… is a disgusting mess,” an Instagram user told Amy.
Meanwhile, older sister Amanda Slaton has drawn criticism. “I honestly can’t believe how Amanda seems to think that she can yell and shout… and expect everybody to bow down,” a Redditor fumed. Another viewer said Amanda “gets on my last nerve.” Her behavior during Tammy’s wedding was also called out. Chris and Misty, however, are generally seen as “the two most emotionally mature and stable” siblings.
1000-lb Sisters: TLC Pay Controversy Brews Among Fans
A significant side discussion has emerged regarding the Slaton family’s compensation. Many fans are outraged by their reported earnings. “It really pisses me off that TLC doesn’t pay these people the money that they deserve,” one popular comment stated. They suggested TLC is “taking advantage of their lack of Education.” Reports claim the main stars get “like four or $5,000 an episode.” Fans feel this is “BS” for a show that is “the fourth highest rated show on TLC.”
The debate continued. Some argued the Slatons have “Very little leverage” to negotiate due to their background. Others believe “They had nothing so they’re appreciative of what they are getting paid.” The consensus is that the network could, and should, pay them more. One user noted, “Most shows I watch, you’ll see the come up after a few seasons… I dont see that too much with this show.”
