[Tammy] Previously on the 1000-lb Sisters.
Where do you want to go from here?
The amount of weight you've lost is unbelievable,
but your goal weight loss would be about another 100 lb.
I didn't expect to have to lose more weight.
[Tammy] Before Michael...
You know that Tammy has been talking [bleep] about my boys.
If she brings her attitude towards me,
there ain't no telling what's gonna happen.
[Tammy] I love my nephews,
but I'm tired of them messing around and breaking things.
I'm coming to my within.
That bitch y'all didn't like is about to come back out.
We've all talked about getting gym memberships,
so I took the initiative.
How about we make this into a friendly little competition?
If I make it a competition, I'm gonna try to beat y'all.
No. I need to do this for my own--
That's what we want you to try to do.
-No, I'm doing this my-- -Hey.
You sat right here in my ear and you are yelling.
Why are you giving me that look?
I'm getting real [bleep] sick and tired of the attitude.
Get out of my house.
Damn straight, bitch.
Damn straight, [bleep].
Let it go. This ain't the time.
-You got your nerve, bitch. -Yeah.
Let it go.
No.
I am not gonna tolerate nobody disrespecting me
in my [bleep] house.
[Amanda] I'm sick of it.
[bleep] make it make sense, Brittany, make it make sense.
No, I can't.
I don't...
[bleep] hurt? I don't get [bleep].
[Chris] After our not so great appointment with Dr. Smith,
I thought we could all use gym memberships
to get us back on track.
I really thought I was doing a good thing,
but all hell broke loose.
So I got Amy running down the street.
We don't know where she's going.
And Tammy's up by herself in the van.
I'm just gonna leave her to calm down, because...
[laughs]
Extra steps.
[laughs]
[Brittany speaking]
[Chris] I thought you were following me.
I thought you was following me out.
I'd rather be out in the cold than listen to that.
I'd rather [bleep] freeze than listen to them holler.
I have to go, I feel like I have to run.
What did I miss?
I was trying to tell Amanda, like, I understand
where you're coming from and where they're coming from.
[Tammy] 'Cause personally--
[Tammy] No, let me finish.
This is why I got upset in there,
because everybody kept cutting me off.
Personally, if I was to be in a competition,
and I [bleep] failed, and didn't lose enough weight...
That's what I was trying to [bleep] say.
And Amanda [bleep] got mad and cut me off.
I feel like Amanda just threw me out of the house
like a piece of trash.
I would have never done that to her.
Never.
And nobody tried to stop it.
That is not how families should act.
[sniffles]
I'm done with everybody in this family.
It's always been the older siblings, and me and Tammy.
There's always been that division.
Like sit down and actually listen to what I'm saying.
I don't know why they don't respect me.
I'm not the stupid sister that they think I am.
I've let them do that to me for years.
[sobbing]
I never [bleep] wanted to come home to this [bleep].
After today, she better not even call me, text me,
nothing.
I can do much better without her.
[Amanda] Everybody out here talking [bleep]?
[Brittany] Nobody was talking [bleep].
[Amanda] Why didn't you?
Why don't you guys ever stand up for me?
I'm upset with you too, Chris.
She is hateful and mean to everyone.
To the people that has had her back.
For her to stand back and say
that she bends over backwards for us
when her whole [bleep] life
all we've done is take care of her?
I'm done.
And I do mean it.
If she's on her deathbed, don't [bleep] call me.
Hello? Anybody home?
-[Tammy] I'm in the kitchen. -All right.
So I come over today to just to see where Tammy's at
and how she's feeling about yesterday's fight.
I don't know how serious Amanda is
about kicking Tammy out.
I wasn't there, so I didn't hear how she sounded.
How are you doing today?
How am I doing?
Just doing the dishes a little bit.
[both laugh]
[Tammy] My emotions today are up and down.
I didn't sleep much last night and...
I'm like, heartbroken. I feel so alone.
I just can't believe she would say something like that.
And thank you so much for sticking up to me,
but I didn't know
that it was going to escalate as much as it did.
-And I apologize for that. -What do you mean?
[Tammy] Ain't nothing to be sorry about.
Amanda went too far.
[Tammy speaking]
[Tammy] Now that I've lost so much weight,
I feel like she's kind of jealous.
The spotlight's not on her.
She's not the pretty sister no more.
I did not deserve that.
Her kids run over me.
This isn't my place.
It's never been my place.
Amanda has kicked me out of her house, that house, before.
Like I actually lived with her once, 15 years ago.
Never let a family member be your landlord.
Lesson learned.
Ever since I've [bleep] come back from rehab,
she ain't been... not texting me.
Not coming over. Nothing.
It's freaking sad
that I can't even call my family, my family anymore.
Before I left to go to rehab,
Misty would come over at least once a week,
and we would talk almost every day.
But now that I'm home, it's like, you know... whatever.
Chris came over whenever he could.
But like three months after I got home...
Where is the family strength at?
What family strong?
Chris wanted to talk about family strong
and this and that.
Where was that yesterday?
[Amy speaking]
I got a room in my house if you want.
I'm to the point where I want to move
the [bleep] away from Kentucky.
At this point, I just need to get
far, far away from my family.
I don't know what edamame is.
I'm gonna need some spices.
Just stuff that you put
in a typical white chocolate shrimp Alfredo.
Never used [bleep] puck cream before,
but I used a lot of lube in my life.
[laughs]
You know, we're getting ready to buy this house next to us.
So it is an option for Tammy to live in it.
Why can't Tammy live with Amy
since Amy lived with Tammy when all that was going on?
I'm not going to lose my wife over one of my family members.
I'm not gonna do it.
[country music playing]
[Amy] After that blow up with Amanda,
I'm focusing on the stuff that makes me feel good.
And cooking to me is like a therapy release.
So I'm here today
to make a white chocolate shrimp Alfredo.
I don't know where my crazy recipes come from.
I just want to experiment.
At the end of the day, it might not be good,
but it might be bomb [bleep].
[laughs]
White chocolate? Yes, ma'am.
It's down here in aisle 3.
What I'm making is a white chocolate Alfredo.
It's like regular Alfredo, just add chocolate chips.
Really?
I prefer garlic in mine, but, you know...
-They're out. -And onion.
Really?
Not Dancing with the Chefs [bleep].
[both laugh]
I'm gonna need to grab some spices.
Just stuff that you put in a typical Alfredo.
Okay.
I don't know what edamame is.
What is it?
[Amy] Oh, wait.
I think it's a sweet condensed milk type deal.
It looks Arabic or Indian or Taiwan or something.
Wait... Bahrain.
Oh, close enough.
Was it here?
I don't know. I just started.
Only in Kentucky grocery stores.
I hope this all comes together,
and I don't end up with food poisoning.
[country music playing]
[Chris speaking]
[Misty speaking]
[Misty burps] Excuse me.
[Chris] Me and Misty are going by Amanda's today
to check on her because she just had her surgery.
I know your legs are short,
but you can walk faster than that.
[Misty] Ass [bleep].
[Chris] I've talked to all my sisters
since the big fight a week ago,
and we're on good speaking terms.
I'm just more worried about what kind of terms
that Amanda, Tammy, and Amy are on.
[Amanda] Come in.
-Hey, sis. How you doing? -[Misty] Hey.
All right. Just doing a little bit of--
[Chris] Man, won't you cover that up?
Nobody wants to see that.
[Amanda] This is actually part of my physical therapy.
I understand that, but nobody want to see your leg.
Especially--
[Amanda] It's better than seeing your face.
It's not that bad.
[Amanda] I haven't talked to Tammy and Amy
since the big blowup in my house the other day.
I'll be honest.
I really don't even remember everything I said that day.
I was extremely doped up,
and I had surgery the next day.
The surgery went well.
But the pain I have with my leg
is still extremely intense.
[Misty] So have you talked to Amy lately?
[Amanda] I still haven't spoke to her.
I didn't understand what the big deal was.
I wasn't trying to be rude to Amy,
but she was sitting right here and just screaming in my ear.
[Chris] Yeah.
I have no idea how it went from me
suggesting a friendly family competition
to Amy storming out the house.
I mean, honestly, appreciate Amy walking away
and not throwing hands.
But it's kind of stupid that it even went that far anyway.
The big deal is
how do we go about getting this all worked out,
especially with you and Tammy?
Well, I'm not going to...
I'm not going to pack all the blame for this [bleep].
-And I know that -[Amanda] I'm not. I swallowed my pride--
As far as the house and all that,
I know I said that [bleep] you know,
but that's because she pissed me off.
When she got smart with me
on top of the way that she's been treating my children,
Tammy done made me mad enough
to where I was out for blood.
And I was, I said anything to hurt her feelings.
Was I wrong? Absolutely.
I shouldn't have did that.
All of that being said, if she wants to get
back on good terms and stay in the house,
she would definitely have to apologize to me.
For years now, we've allowed Tammy
to be some type of way because, you know, poor Tammy.
She's fat. She can't do [bleep].
But now that she's in a different place physically,
I'm not excusing that behavior anymore.
If she wants to apologize to me,
then I'll accept that apology.
But I don't need either one of you to interceding on my part.
[Chris] Okay.
And what I mean by that is
I don't need y'all to run over and tell Tammy,
"Well, just go over and talk to her."
No, I don't want nobody doing that because
if she don't want to come on her own,
then I don't want to talk to her.
All right.
I don't ever remember Tammy apologizing for an argument,
between any of the siblings.
So if Tammy does it,
Amanda better go play the damn lottery because she's winning.
I just hope it don't cause a rip in the family.
It's kind of sad because at the end of the day,
you are family.
You gotta love each other regardless.
Blood's blood.
Yeah, I love her.
But right now she's someone I have to love from a distance.
Bitch, what the [bleep] are you cooking?
I'm making a shrimp Alfredo.
I never follow a recipe.
Most of the time, I don't even know what I'm grabbing.
Now I do got one secret ingredient.
[lively music playing]
I'm gonna cook lunch. You want some lunch?
Are you hungry?
Today I'm making a white chocolate Alfredo with shrimp,
a spinach and cauliflower.
[Amy] Even though this dish ain't really healthy,
at least I got shrimp.
Shrimp is protein proving that shrimp is good for you.
So I am focusing on my weight.
A little bit.
It's me.
Hey, baby.
[Amy] Hey, girl, what are you doing?
-[Tammy] Chris dropped me off. -[Amy] Oh.
I needed a break from the house.
Yeah, I get it.
[Tammy] I'm not sure where I'm going to live right now,
but what is for sure
is I won't be living at Amanda's house.
So I gave my notice
and I have to be out by the end of the month.
In the meantime, I'm doing whatever the [bleep] I can do
to stay out of that house.
Bitch, what the [bleep] are you cooking?
I'm making a shrimp Alfredo,
but I'm making it my way.
Oh, God!
Girl, I don't even know. I just grab [bleep].
There's red onion, garlic.
You know I'm big on the ranch powder.
There's chamoy.
There's Slap Ya Mama.
There's everything bagel.
There's adobo.
I never follow a recipe.
I can't explain it. It's just...
It's like my grandma cooks through me
and just grabs stuff and just adds it.
'Cause most of the time,
I don't even know what spice I'm grabbing.
Literally.
[Tammy] Girl!
How much you cooking?
My family, we love garlic here.
You trying to give people stomachaches?
Amy's known for making weird concoctions of food.
[Amy] This is like a dream come true.
[Tammy speaking]
Now I do got one secret ingredient.
Hand me that bag right there.
I'm truly freaking scared.
I'm truly disgusted.
You know, I take the normal and make it weird,
but normal is vastly overrated.
So why are you making all this?
Well, you know how Amanda hurt her knee.
So I'm going to cook it.
The boys need lunch,
and I figured we could take some over to Amanda's.
I'm taking this Alfredo over to Amanda,
not just because she had the knee surgery,
because we had a fight.
And honestly, I just want to talk to her,
and tell her where I was coming from.
She got her kids there. They can help her cook.
As of now, till further notice,
I don't want [bleep] to do with Amanda.
[Tammy speaking]
-[baby cooing] -Oh, God.
I really wish you would, and I'm going to cry on this.
-Stop crying. I can't handle it. -I can help it.
-I never said you couldn't. -And the cooking... No.
Misty, Amanda, Chris.
They all say I can't cook. I can't do nothing.
Nobody said you couldn't cook.
We say you cook weird.
"Amy can't do this.
Amy can't do that." I'm tired of hearing y'all say that.
-I'm not them. -I know.
That's what I'm trying to prove.
Take this to Amanda, prove to you, "Bitch, look. I did this."
Okay. Calm down.
I can tell it does bother Amy
how the older siblings treat her and myself.
And now that she's crying...
I figured, you know, just do it.
If you throw up, you throw up.
[clattering]
-The white chocolate. -Let's see, it's...
I told you, though, white chocolate.
Don't put that nasty [bleep].
It tastes kind of like Alfredo.
But then, you get the kick from the sweet white chocolate and then you get...
It's kind of sweet and savory.
You're taking all your love and patience
and time and effort to make this meal for Amanda.
What if he don't even hear you out?
I'm just tired of fighting with people.
She don't hear me out, I'm done.
[chicken clucks]
Can you help me bring in the rest of this stuff out of the bedroom?
[Brittany] No.
[Chris] It's like clockwork.
You can stamp it on the concrete,
put your hand on the Bible.
November 1st, my wife is decorating for Christmas.
You got more stuff than a person needs.
No, you can never have too many Christmas decorations.
[Chris] This is Brittany's favorite time of the year.
And if she likes it, I love it.
Especially, since I have to talk to her about something
that she's probably not gonna like too much.
[Brittany] This is all right.
It's about as good as it's going to get.
Okay. Well, I need a rest.
So, the whole situation is kind of messy.
With Tammy and Amanda.
Tammy has went ahead and put her notice in on Amanda's house,
and there is no talking her out of it.
She's wanting to get away from Kentucky.
But until Tammy learns how to drive
and becomes more self-sufficient,
that's just not an option.
I recently put in an offer on the house next door to fix up as a rental.
And if push comes to shove, Tammy could move in there.
It is an option...
Until she can find something better.
If you're okay with it.
Why can't Tammy live with Amy,
since Amy lived with Tammy when all that was going on?
She says she can't live with Amy.
She loves her, but she can't live with her.
Do you think it'll end up like, she's gonna hate us, like her and Amanda?
No.
Different mechanics.
That me and Tammy very rarely argue like Amanda and Amy do.
Because y'all don't live together.
[Chris] Tammy has lived with everybody, just about, in the family at some point.
Starting way back 20 years ago, almost.
When she was living with me.
She didn't like things that was going on in my house.
She moves out and goes on to live with Amanda.
They got into it.
And Tammy ended up moving back home with Mom.
Lived there until,
I guess, Tammy and Mom got into a fight.
Then she moved out to Dixon with Amy,
and we all know how that [bleep] ended.
And then, Tammy moved in next door to Amy,
and that had its own set of issues altogether.
[Chris continues speaking]
I'm not going to say she's going to be easy to live with.
Because we all got our own little things.
But I won't let her be homeless.
Just like I wouldn't let none of your family be homeless.
Thoughts?
Well, you know...
We always help people.
That's what we're here for. So...
That's what's got to happen.
And just hope and pray it's temporary,
more temporary than permanent.
[Chris] Amazingly enough, Brittany has agreed
to Tammy moving into the house next door.
So the next step is to run the idea by Tammy.
And show her the house and see what she thinks.
Brittany might not necessarily like
this situation with Tammy.
But she wouldn't let any of my sisters be homeless, either.
With that being said, if Tammy being so close causes tension,
I'm not gonna lose my wife over one of my family members.
I'm not gonna do it.
Yeah? So, what's that?
A white chocolate shrimp Alfredo.
-White chocolate? -White chocolate. [chuckles]
When she passed that dish off to me,
I was like, "What the [bleep] is this [bleep]?"
[Amy] Knock knock.
Come in.
Amy called and said that she wanted to stop by,
and I'm just hoping that we're not gearing up
for round two of what happened last week.
[Amanda] What you got?
I brought you some food as a peace offering.
-A peace offering? -Yes.
Yeah? So, what's that?
A white chocolate shrimp Alfredo.
-White chocolate? -White chocolate. [chuckles]
Girl, that's heavy. Good God.
[Amy] Don't knock it till you try it.
[Amanda] When she passed that dish off to me,
I was like, "What the [bleep] is this [bleep]?"
It smells good.
Glenn and Gage ate it for lunch.
Tammy ate it.
[smacking lips]
-That's [bleep] fire. -[chuckles softly]
[laughs] That is fire. And I'm not [bleep].
I'm saying this is good, girl.
It reminds me of like a mole.
I don't know what the [bleep] that is.
It's like a chocolate...
chili sauce. It's a Mexican food.
[tearfully] You don't know how much I'm-- I'm sorry.
-This is a good tear. -Don't cry, girl.
It's good tears because...
[Amanda] I don't say that, babe.
So, I'm trying to prove that I can do it, just like y'all.
I just make it weirder.
Honey, you don't have to do anything to impress me.
I admire you. You are my little sister.
To hell with everybody else.
[Amy speaking]
'Cause I worked so hard on this dish.
To prove myself worthy of, you know,
being able to cook like all my other siblings.
I was always the ugly duck. Well, the ugly duckling.
[chuckles] What? The black sheep. That's it.
[Amanda] I hear you. I mean, I understand where you're coming from.
But I want you to get into the habit of not worrying
about what anybody damn cares.
I know.
So, what's on your mind other than that?
How's things going?
Well, the last time I really seen you,
we got into that big fight here about the competition thing.
It wasn't so much as a competition as you took it.
It wasn't like who's winning and who's losing.
Just thinking about the gym right now is making me depressed.
Why does that make you depressed?
I don't know. It's just...
That's time I'm taking away from my kids,
that's time I'm taking away from my house
that needs to be cleaned.
That's time I'm taking away from my mental health
that needs to be-- Aside.
Okay. Let me tell you something.
Do you think that you're not worth
maybe an hour and a half to fix yourself?
Work on yourself physically?
-Because, see-- -Yeah. But there's
the hour and a half I've got to find a babysitter.
-I've got to find a ride. I gotta find it. -Come one.
You need to start focusing on...
Are you healthy?
If you're healthy, it's gonna make you feel better.
When you feel better about yourself, it's a mental thing.
I was really hoping that you would be willing to go to the gym
because I need help doing some physical therapy.
You and I could make it a date.
We can go. We can go burn a few 100 calories
and then we can go get us a frappe.
-[chuckles] -Right.
Oh. Well, there's that.
Well, you know, when you do that, though,
I mean, it might be pushing out the weight. I mean...
-Yeah, then probably I-- -They say you either
[bleep] it out or sweat it out. I mean...
You want me to work out with you? I will.
But even I know that we shouldn't be drinking ice cream after the gym.
Come on, now.
You want to know something?
That day, when everything blew up here,
I thought you was mad at me because I told you to stop yelling in my ear.
And then you kept going louder, and I was like,
"Amy. Good God."
Because, hell, you can't get a word in edgewise--
Edgewise. I know. But then I thought,
"Well, damn, I didn't yell at her."
It's like, y'all need to listen to me for once.
I understand what you're saying, but--
That's why I'm always quiet at family functions,
because most of the time, y'all don't let me get a word in edgewise.
I apologize.
And I promise to always come to you with love in my heart.
Not to be ugly, to chastise you like a little kid.
Because you're not. You're a grown ass woman.
But I'm gonna tell you this, too.
I am not going to apologize to Tammy
because all that [bleep] with me and Tammy, I'm over it.
If she never speaks to me again, that's on her.
It's not on me.
[Chris] Now look. It does need some work.
[Tammy] We walk into this house and we see a lawn mower
and some ugly ass green carpet
that looks like it's been there since the 70s.
It's an eyesore.
[Chris speaking]
So, it was my idea to bring Tammy over to check out the house.
I think it would work out real good for her if she likes it.
[chuckles]
That could be a curse and a blessing.
Well, I was getting ready to say, I love you.
But, you know, I still need my time, too.
You know what I'm saying?
I kind of hope this is an answer to the living situation,
even though it is temporary.
But I still need a little assistance, like, to...
It's gonna take you know, 30 days at least,
to work on it and get it liveable.
So, bear with me, 'cause it's not gonna be easy
to deal with me from day to day.
-Oh, I know. -'Cause I am gonna be stressed out working on...
-getting you settled. -I know.
-Pray for Brittany, too. -[chuckles]
'Cause she's gonna need it.
[Tammy] I'm gonna pray for everybody.
[Chris] Good.
I do have some concerns about Tammy moving next door to me.
Because my wife is worried about it causing serious issues.
[Chris] Now look. It does need some cleaning.
[Chris] Couple of days of drywall work will fix the ceiling.
When I signed the paperwork,
everything that was left in the house become my property.
So, I got a free lawn mower out of it, too.
You can't beat it. [laughs]
Just keep your mind open this way.
[Tammy] I hope Chris can finish everything in 30 days,
but I don't know much about, like, construction.
It's like speaking Chinese to me
or a different language, 'cause I don't understand.
Here is the kitchen, with a bar and a cabinet.
And the cool thing is, this is not too tall,
-because you can reach it. -Oh, that's badass.
I'm just one of those really appreciative, thankful people.
So, I'm just thankful to have a place offered
that has a roof and stable foundation.
Is that thing in the kitchen? On the bar.
Is it just there, or is it hiding some kind of...
The bar?
What are you talking about?
No. No.
What about that one thing that's dividing it where you can't see?
[Chris] But it's set up to have a little coffee maker on the backside.
[Brittany] It's set up dumb where you can't see.
It's an eyesore.
-To you. -Yeah.
Well, it ain't your house.
Because you ain't living in here every day.
I mean, I like the layout, and I think it would be
a suitable place for me, but...
'Cause they're doing this in such short time and trying to hurry up.
Hmm. I think it's going to take longer than 30 days.
Because you work, so you're not gonna be able
to work on it every hour of the day.
For something happens and it's not ready in the 30 days,
you can come stay with me for, you know, the first month until we get this house ready.
Right now, my husband, myself and our daughter Emily and her baby live with us.
So, if Tammy moves in, then there's gonna be five people in the house.
I wouldn't blame Brittany if she...
deep down, didn't really want me to be here.
'Cause it is gonna be stressful.
I don't want to be the reason they have a real big argument.
I don't want that on my conscience.
What's the matter, Tammy?
And I don't want that.
[tearfully] I love you all.
[Chris] Tammy starts getting upset
and talking about she don't want to be a burden.
But let's be honest.
She's put herself in this situation.
She could have been the bigger grown up and talked it out with Amanda.
But she is the most stubborn person I've ever met.
And we all know, history has a tendency to repeat itself.
-Hi! -Merry Christmas.
[narrator] Next time on 1000-lb Sisters.
[Amy] Gage was so cute when he first met Santa.
He goes, "Santa, Merry Christmas."
[chuckles] I'm like, "Aw!"
I hit it!
[Chris] We are never going to be approved for skin removal
if we don't get our ass up out of this chair and start moving.
So, that's why, today, we're going golfing.
[Tammy giggles]
I can hit it. There you go.
[everyone laughs]
[Chris] As you can see, it's a work in progress.
Place needs a lot of work. Are you sure you can do it?
I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place,
and I don't know if I can get it done.
I'm just gonna drop a bomb on you.
I'm not gonna be here for Christmas.
And I have my reasons.
Damn good reasons.
[Amy] Tammy and Amanda's beef is...
That
is bull [bleep].
I think both of them need to grow the [bleep] up.
