Is 1000-lb. Sisters Next? TLC Hit Faces Uncertainty Amid HGTV Cancellations! (Full Details Below👇)
Will TLC’s 1000-lb. Sisters Be Axed Like HGTV Shows?
Fans of TLC’s hit show 1000-lb. Sisters are wondering if the weight loss series is headed for cancellation, especially after a recent string of axed programs on HGTV. The concern stems from the fact that both networks are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, leading some to believe that cancellations on one network might signal similar fates for shows on the other.
The HGTV Cancellations
HGTV has recently canceled six of its popular shows, leaving viewers speculating about the future of their favorite programming. Bargain Block, a fan favorite known for its relatable content, was canceled after four seasons. Christina Haack’s show, Christina on the Coast, ended after five seasons. Additionally, Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, and Izzy Does It have not been renewed. This widespread cancellation has raised alarms among reality TV enthusiasts.
The Future of 1000-lb. Sisters
The possibility of 1000-lb. Sisters being canceled is a major topic of discussion among its dedicated fanbase. The show has been a huge success for TLC, chronicling the weight loss journeys and personal transformations of Tammy and Amy Slaton, along with their family.
One reason for concern is that many of the family members have seemingly reached their major goals. In the latest season, Tammy Slaton successfully underwent skin removal surgery and found love, getting engaged to Andrea Dalton. Amy Slaton is also content with her weight, engaged, and appears happy. Chris Combs has also completed his journey with skin removal surgery. This has led some to believe that the “story” of the Combs-Slaton-Halterman family, centered around their weight loss dreams, may have reached its natural conclusion.
Other Factors and Fan Reactions
Beyond the completion of their individual transformations, the family has faced harsh criticism from the internet, which can be difficult to manage and could be a reason for them to step away from the spotlight. Furthermore, the inclusion of “trip down memory lane” segments in the final episodes of Season 7 has fueled speculation that TLC might be subtly preparing viewers for the show’s end without an official announcement.
Despite these concerns, 1000-lb. Sisters boasts a strong and loyal fanbase, much like the canceled HGTV shows did. This creates a dilemma for Warner Bros. Discovery, as they may be looking to cut costs wherever possible.
However, many fans are not ready for the show to end, particularly Tammy’s story. Her transformation into a “softer, sweeter, and determined” individual has resonated deeply with viewers, as evidenced by comments like:
- “I’m obsessed with sisters! Watching since season one”
- “Omg, I’m like sooo obsessed with sisters 💕 Been watching since day one! 👯♀️📺”
- “Tammy is so funny now”
While Amy and Tammy Slaton are no longer the “1000-lb. Sisters” they once were, their continued evolution could open doors for a spinoff, focusing on their new lives and ongoing progress. The future of the show remains uncertain, but the Slaton sisters and their journey would undoubtedly be missed by their devoted followers if the series were to conclude.
