"This show is wild" — 1000-Lb Sisters fans react to Amy and Tammy’s frequent family meetings

1000-lb Sisters season 7 returned with episode 4, titled The Big Camel in the Room, on May 6, 2025. The episode featured emotional moments, family confrontations, and personal progress for the Slaton siblings. Amy discussed her recent arrest and the camel bite incident that was highlighted in the previous episode. She revealed her struggles after the arrest, sharing how the experience left her shaken and how she planned to stay focused until her court date.

Meanwhile, Tammy was shown embracing more independence. She invited her friends over for dinner, prepared a meal, and reflected on her childhood dreams—especially her excitement about joining the corn parade float. Chris also took a major step by exploring a career goal he had postponed for years: running a food truck shift and considering starting a food business of his own.

A major moment in the episode occurred during a family meeting called to discuss Amy’s arrest. However, it led to tensions between Amy and Amanda, as Amy felt ambushed. As the conversation turned into a confrontation, Amanda walked away, and Amy followed. The family's attempt to intervene caused mixed reactions, especially from Chris and Tammy.

Fans soon took to X, reacting to these family meetings.

"A camel bit Amy and now there's a whole family meeting aka the roasting/b**ch fest. This show is wild! I'm in tears!" one fan commented.

Several others followed suit.

"Heaven forbid Amy try to approach the family in a lighthearted manner instead of with Amanda and Chris' hateful demeanor. I'm really disappointed in how Chris is deciding to act like a "mean girl" with Amanda," another user said.

"this family has a family meeting for the smallest things😂," an X user wrote.

"THE AWKWARDNESS," one tweet read.

A few 1000-Lb Sisters viewers said the family might be overreacting to Amy's arrest over drug possession.

"I do think Amy's family is overreacting. She has her medical card and there's nothing wrong with that. Its much safer than taken narcotics. She shouldn't have crossed state line with it she made a mistake. It doesn't make her a bad mom," a fan wrote.

"Amy gonna be fine… a missed medical marijuana permit, a wee bit of weed, a first offense.. she gonna be fine," a tweet read.

"Amy needs to be a mom to her boys, but sadly she's lonely. Because of the lack of proper upbringing she and the siblings had, they don't know how to be "proper" adults," another user said.

"About to catch up on 1000-lb Sisters. I already know it's about to be pure chaos. Damn Amy!" one netizen tweeted.
