1000-lb Sisters

Let's see more of Amanda, Chris, and his wife.

They are the only characters that I'm rooting for.

Are all the residents of Kentucky really this damn stupid?

No wonder Mitch (the turtle) McConnell has been a Kentucky politician for this long! Even though Tammy is thoroughly disgusting, I still think that Discovery's facilitation of her demise is very reckless.

She needs to be declared incompetent and put into a care home permanently. She's just too simple to understand how to act in her own best interests.

On the other hand this show is absolutely addicting and I will watch until the last episode (a.k.a. The one with the funeral).

Trash TV but darn is it entertaining. It's TLC what more do you expect? But on a serious note, as sad as it is, this story of two morbidly obese sisters motivates me to eat healthier and stay active.

Amy has been looking after Tammy and Tammy is such an ungrateful person. She is so rude to Amy. I have a hard time watching because of tammys behaviour towards Amy.

Amy is a very caring sister and has done her best for Tammy. But Tammy is such an ingrate. She needs to do things for herself and maybe she will appreciate all that Amy does for her. If I was Amy I would stop helping her Let her fend for herself.

It's a show about a couple of impoverished simpletons who are good people but clearly have some inner demons that lead to food addiction... I generally don't find this show exploitative like most TLC Shows and the focus really seems to be on their journey to better health (with one having a lot more success than the other at this point). It's obviously not art by any means but the whole family is really a cast of characters that make me smile every week.

Sometimes I want mindless entertainment. And this does it for me. I have some silly investment in seeing the sisters succeed, better themselves, and some wacky stuff along the way. I like Chris a lot as he seems like a good honest man. The family I think is a product of their environment and it is so different from man that I enjoy it every week. It's not everyone's cup of tea and I can't say whether it is a negative reality to show on television but it is popular enough that I can't see it going anywhere any time soon unless Michael and Amy's divorce puts a huge handcuff of the filming. Cheers.
