Tori and Audrey Roloff of Little People, Big World fame often seem to be at odds, with their husbands, Zach and Jeremy, in competition as well. Long-time fans of the show will remember that Tori and Audrey haven’t always gotten along. Fans also know that Zach and Jeremy have feuded, both by proxy and as their own agents.
Jeremy and Audrey left the show in 2018 to focus on their own family matters, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of off-screen drama. Fans keep steady tabs on all members of the Roloff family through social media. The fact of the matter is that Jeremy and Audrey, who LPBW fans find exhausting, have always been provoking to fans. Audrey isn’t just inflammatory towards viewers but her family as well. Some onlookers may wonder where this competitive relationship comes from and why it manifests as it does.
How Zach & Tori’s Beliefs Differ From Jeremy & Audrey’s
Many LPBW viewers can trace the couples’ feud back to their ideological beliefs. British tabloid The Sun explains that Jeremy and Audrey are openly conservative and stick to traditional Christian values. Zach and Tori, on the other hand, have been shown to adopt more of a liberal stance. Politics are an obvious hotbed for contention. It would make sense for couples to butt heads on their ideologies, as is the case with most families.
Audrey & Tori Have Competing Careers
Fans also view Audrey as trying to one-up Tori and vice-versa since the two are both online influencers. When Zach and Tori posted a photo of their new tractor, Jeremy and Audrey had to post theirs as well. When Audrey posted videos to her Instagram story for her birthday, Tori posted her own Instagram story to show she was at home with her kids. With the two wives now trying to market themselves as social media stars, the unspoken need to outdo each other is strong. Each sister-in-law may view their online success as validation beyond their presence on the show and proof that they have something to offer the world.
The Infamous Roloff Farm Feud
Of course, seemingly above all else is the argument over the sale of Matt Roloff’s farm. Zach and Jeremy expressed interest in taking over the family farm. Based on what Audrey and Jeremy have said in the past, it seems they were led to believe they might become the inheritors of the property, only to have the rug pulled out from under them. Fans got to see Zach negotiate with his father over the sale, but despite playing hardball, Zach couldn’t secure the property either. The brothers’ shared desire to take over the family business no doubt led to budding competition.
The Little People, Big World stars can find a reason to quarrel on any front, even if not so publicly. Whether the couples differ in their beliefs or share desires in their professions, the four can’t seem to get along. Even as Audrey extends an olive branch to Tori, many suspect the peace won’t last. But often, that’s how family can be in this big, big world.
