1000-Lb Sisters season 5 is bringing a lot of “firsts” Tammy Slaton’s way. She flew on a plane for the first time and also hit the beach with her family. After spending time at a rehab clinic, Tammy made enormous strides in her weight loss journey. Since the show first began in 2020, fans are super “proud” of how far she and her sister have come. But, some viewers don’t think her sister, Misty Wentworth, gets the same recognition after seeing her in a swimsuit.
Tammy and Amy Slaton’s TLC show debuted after the sisters originally found fame on YouTube. 1000-Lb Sisters was initially just about the two of them and their weight loss journeys. But, these days their siblings have also become fan-favorites including Misty, Chris Combs, and Amanda Halterman.
Misty Wentworth shows off ‘cute’ swimsuit
In previous 1000-Lb Sisters seasons, Chris and Amanda have been given props for their supporting roles on the TLC show, even being dubbed “favorite” cast members.
However, another of Tammy and Amy Slaton‘s siblings is about to take top spot as a fan “favorite,” for her “calm and reserved” vibe.
More are keen to talk about how “great” Misty is looking following weight loss surgery.
After the season 5 beach episode, one fan took to a Reddit thread to shine a light on the star’s progress: “I think Misty looked great in her swimsuit it really flattered her and she looks like she lost a lot of weight. She is quieter than the rest of her family but I really like her.”
More commented on the TLC star’s character: “I liked Misty from the moment she encouraged Tammy to walk with her to the mailbox instead of just taking the letter for her.”
Tammy Slaton‘s sister’s fans are coming in hot with the compliments as another wrote: “I love Misty. I think she’s got a great vibe and really balances out her siblings. She and Chris make a great team. Her swimsuit was so cute on her!”
Misty ‘doesn’t get credit’
It’s safe to say fans are quick to let Tammy and Amy know how “proud” they are of the sisters’ weight loss journeys whenever they post to social media. Some recently said Tammy looks like she’s “shrinking” after one Instagram post.
However, some 1000-Lb Sisters viewers think the other cast members aren’t getting the same recognition.
A fan commented on the thread: “I noticed too, it seems she’s made the most progress, and gotten the least credit.”
Another said: “Y’all should see her now!!! They live in the same town as me…”
1000-Lb Sisters season 5 is ‘good vibes’
1000-Lb Sisters season 5 sees Amy, Tammy, and their family members enjoying all-new experiences following their incredible weight loss journeys.
The TLC stars’ positivity these days hasn’t gone unnoticed as one fan commented: “I like them all a lot more this season. There’s less fighting and chaos. They all seem to appreciate each other and are much kinder to each other.”
Although Amanda, Chris, and co are enjoying a new lease of life this season, Amy is struggling with single motherhood as she goes through a divorce.
Some viewers said they were “sad” to see Amy and Tammy “switch roles” as Amy seems super unhappy at points in the season.
However, many send Gage and Glenn’s mom messages of support and positivity as she goes through the tough time.
