With 1000-lb Sisters season 3 just around the corner, fans are speculating what's next for the Slaton sisters, and viewers aren't optimistic about Tammy's chances of finally achieving her weight loss goals. Even though anything can happen in the next chapter of Amy and Tammy's stories, fans are predicting the older Slaton sister will repeat her pattern of falling short of her weight loss ambitions. After two seasons of Tammy failing to match her sister's headway, here's why 1000-lb Sisters fans have become convinced Tammy won't qualify for bariatric surgery in season 3 or the following years to come.

When audiences met Amy and Tammy in the 1000-lb Sisters debut, the duo of sisters asserted that they were going to commit to weight loss because their lives depended on it. While Amy ended season 1 following through on her promise and undergoing a gastric bypass operation, Tammy's experience on the reality show has varied from her sister's. At check-ins with her doctor, Tammy consistently fell short of her weight loss goals. In 1000-lb Sisters season 2, fans hoped that things would turn around for Tammy as her brother Chris Combs vowed to serve as the reality star's weight-loss buddy. Unfortunately, Tammy only ended up gaining weight last season.

Heading into 1000-lb Sisters season 3, viewers have high hopes for another captivating season. While many fans are eagerly awaiting getting more time with Gage and additional members of the Slaton family like Amy and Tammy's sister Amanda, most viewers are anticipating a series of bleak events for Tammy. Although Tammy shared details about going to a rehab facility for food addiction in the upcoming set of episodes, viewers aren't convinced Tammy will make any progress this time around. On Reddit, a fan forecasted season 3 will include, "Tammy’s rehab journey, her 1000 boyfriends, and her continued downward spiral." Other users agreed that they aren't anticipating a sudden shift in Tammy's weight loss journey in the reality series' next entry. A sarcastic Reddit user joked, "I think Tammy will turn her life around, lose 500 lbs and run a marathon all while starting a career in engineering."

While fans' mocking remarks don't exhibit the kindest facets of the 1000-lb Sisters audience, comments like these convey how certain viewers are that Tammy is far from reaching her weight loss goals. One reason why fans have such little faith in Tammy is her inability to take accountability. One viewer commented, "[Tammy] will still claim she doesn't need help, even if she's in a facility." The 1000-lb Sisters fanbase believes that Tammy is in denial about the dire state of her health. Although no one speculated Tammy will make progress in season 3, some fans predicted that the upcoming season will turn out to be a pivotal point in Tammy's life. A Reddit user ventured, "Tammy hits rock bottom then has to make the big decision." Audiences think Tammy will choose whether she will keep fighting for her life or give up in 1000-lb Sisters season 3.

Tammy hasn't retired from her weight loss journey yet, but 1000-lb Sisters fans aren't on the edge of their seats in anticipation of major progress from the reality star in the upcoming season. From not taking responsibility for her health to gaining weight in season 2, viewers don't have high expectations for Tammy in season 3. Hopefully, Tammy can prove her naysayers wrong and reclaim her weight loss expedition in the 1000-lb Sisters seasons to come.
