1000-Lb Sisters: Signs Tammy & Amanda Can't Share The Spotlight (Tammy Might Need A Break From Fame
1000-Lb Sisters stars Tammy Slaton and Amanda Halterman are charismatic women with big followings, and if they both become main stars on the show, they might find that having two queens in one court is a little bit uncomfortable. Both women have a lot to offer, but Tammy's feuded with Amanda in the past, so there could be tension if they're jockeying for position on the popular show. While sharing the spotlight might, in theory, add some drama to the series, it could also backfire, as one or both women might find that they aren't happy with the new dynamic.
Tammy's shown some discontentment lately, and that may not bode well. For example, thanks to her feud with Amanda, she's considering a change of location. If Tammy moves away from Kentucky, where the show's always been filmed, it's possible that the series could end. While producers might bend over backwards, making sure that Tammy is catered to in a new location, another scenario is possible. Producers might decide to give Amanda a bigger share of the spotlight, sparking fireworks between the feisty females.
Tammy's Known For Feuding With Amanda
Their Arguments Could Get Out Of Hand
Tammy and Amanda aren't really best buddies, although they have tried to get past their problems lately. In the scene above, via TLC at YouTube, Amanda, cozy under an afghan, really unleashed her anger. After a war of words, she told an offended Tammy to, "Get out of my house".
Shortly before, Tammy revealed that she never really wanted to go to Amanda's home in the first place. The clip above shows the tension between the two women, who may not want to share a ton of scenes together. In fact, they might prefer to limit their interactions as much as possible.

Tammy's A Big Star Now
Is She Ready To Share Her TV Fame With Amanda?
Tammy's really leaning into her fame after losing 500 pounds. Physically, she's so different than she used to be. While a woman shouldn't be defined by her weight, as there's a lot more to being a good person than externals, Tammy's weight problem made her unhappy. Now that she's so much skinnier, she's feeling confident. Part of this is her enhanced mobility. In the past, Tammy spent a lot of time at home, as moving around was very tough.
Lighter and sleeker, she's able to dance and go outside. She has more options, and that means that Tammy's more comfortable in her own skin.
As she steps into her power, she's sharing opinions about personal growth on TikTok. She started out as a cranky woman, who was often ungrateful. Now, she's really seeing the beauty in life, and in herself. As she evolves, she's sharing her hard-won wisdom with other people, and helping them to stay motivated on their own weight-loss journeys.
As perPoprecoverysystemsat Instagram, she shared her mindset after Tammy's "roller coaster" of a body makeover, and in the clip shown above, she is so relaxed and at peace. The woman who discusses "self-worth" in the video is looking for inner peace and seems to be finding it. Tammy's also honest about what it takes to change, and how a person needs to really commit to loving themselves while they do so. Tammy knows that isn't always easy.
While she was promoting a self-transformation platform, her story seemed very authentic and moving. She has struggled to really value herself and many people can probably relate. She's proof that a person can achieve amazing things if they really embrace the power of changing. Showing her compassion, she reminded followers that their "journeys" are about "much more than numbers."
Amanda May Not Have Tammy's Star Quality
Both Women Are Impressive But They're Different
Tammy is a superstar. Before she lost weight, she rose to fame as a YouTuber. Her videos with her sister Amy Slaton (they did a Chubby Bunny challenge and more) made her famous. Those clips caught the attention of producers and the rest is history. In contrast, Amanda became well-known because of her connection to Tammy and Amy. It's quite possible that Tammy's innate star quality (a trait that's sort of magical - some have it and some don't) is the reason Amanda is currently a celebrity.
Yes, 1000-Lb Sisters' Amy Slaton's got a lot of charm too, but Tammy is usually the one stealing scenes. She's been outrageous, funny, cantankerous - Tammy's very "everything." While Amanda's a fiery woman who's intriguing due to her own weight-loss journey, Amanda's secret boyfriend and more, she may not command attention as effortlessly as Tammy does.
If they share the spotlight, Tammy may shine more, leaving Amanda feeling overlooked. There's typically a hierarchy on TV shows, and Tammy may be used to things being the way they are. She may feel usurped if someone else gets as much attention but she could get over that. The more close connections Tammy has, the happier she will be, unless the problems in those relationships just aren't solvable, in which case it's better to cut her losses.
1000-lb Sisters is about a lot more than weight loss. It's about family... it's about conquering all kinds of demons - not just food addiction. The cast members are constantly trying to better their own lives and that's inspiring, but the ups and downs between the cast members add some spice.
1000-lb Sisters' Tammy and Amanda aren't getting along, and sharing the spotlight may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Another scenario is that they could make peace and rule the show like a couple of queens. That would herald a new beginning for the show, and it remains to be seen if people want that much change.
