The trailer for the much-anticipated eighth season of 1,000-lb sisters provides a revealing glimpse into the tumultuous relationship between sisters Amy and Tammy Slaton. As they prepare for the new season, it is evident that their bond has significantly deteriorated, leading to emotional confrontations and unresolved conflicts.
Set to premiere on TLC on January 6, 2026, the sneak peek presents a stark depiction of the sisters’ ongoing feud. Viewers will observe a deep-seated rift that appears to have impacted not only their relationship but also their family dynamics.
Underlying causes of the feud
In a confessional segment, 39-year-old Tammy expressed feelings of distance from her younger sister, stating, “It feels like we’re drifting apart. She used to be my best friend.” This sentiment was echoed by their brother Chris Combs, who addressed the ongoing conflict by inquiring whether the fighting had ceased. Tammy’s response, “If Amy keeps her mouth shut, so would I,” indicates the bitterness that has taken root between them.
The friction in their relationship seems to have intensified following some harsh words exchanged between the sisters. Their older sister, Misty Wentworth, provided further insights, revealing that Tammy had labeled Amy a “deadbeat mom” concerning her children, Gage and Glenn. Such remarks have undoubtedly fueled the discord, pushing the siblings further apart.
Wedding plans amid family discord
As the trailer unfolds, viewers witness Amy’s preparations for her upcoming wedding to Brian Lovvorn. In an emotional moment, Amy is seen trying on wedding dresses while grappling with her complicated feelings regarding Tammy. Interestingly, Misty expressed surprise that Amy chose not to include Tammy as a bridesmaid, underscoring the strain in their relationship.
Amy’s wedding, scheduled for Halloween, reflects her desire for a unique celebration. She mentioned that one of her requests was for the venue to be “haunted,” a theme her family was reluctant to embrace. “They don’t want nothing to do with it,” she remarked, illustrating the divide that has developed.
Emotional turmoil and family intervention
As tensions escalate, the emotional toll on both sisters becomes apparent. In a particularly poignant scene, Amy breaks down, stating tearfully, “I can’t handle her toxic a** no more. I’m done.” This outburst underscores the gravity of their situation and its impact on their mental well-being.
Despite the evident discord, Chris attempts to mediate, urging them to reconcile. He emphasizes the importance of family unity, saying, “We really need to get it smoothed over. Families are supposed to go together.” However, Amy’s response indicates her reluctance to engage in reconciliation, as she dismisses Chris’s plea, stating, “I’m not gonna sit here and have you feed me this baloney when I don’t like baloney.”
Looking forward to the new season
The upcoming season promises to explore the complexities of the Slaton sisters’ tumultuous relationship, highlighting the challenges of family life and personal growth. As Amy prepares for her wedding and Tammy takes steps toward greater independence following her recent surgery, the underlying tensions between them are expected to provide dramatic moments for viewers.
Fans eagerly anticipating the new season can expect a mix of heartfelt moments and intense conflicts, as the Slaton sisters continue to navigate their differences. Mark your calendars for January 6, when their story unfolds anew on TLC in season eight of 1,000-lb sisters.
