‘1000-Lb Best Friends’ Fans Think Show Has Become ‘Disjointed’
1000-Lb Best Friends is back on TLC for another season, but not all fans are impressed with the new episodes.
Season 3 marks the start of many major changes for the friend group. Tina Arnold left the show, leaving room for new cast members. This year, another woman named Tina and a man named Scott met and bonded with the original cast through their bariatric support group.
The original Tina wasn’t overwhelmingly popular with viewers, but it seems like even her exit might not be enough to win fans over. So what are fans saying online?
1000-Lb Best Friends Fans Miss The First Two Seasons
On Tuesday night’s episode, fans saw a few members of the friend group try speed dating for the first time. Ashely and Scott enjoyed meeting new people, but Vannessa might have even made a love match.
It was a cute segment, but Season 3 has been overwhelmingly disappointing for some viewers.
“Disjointed show,” a disappointed viewer wrote on Reddit. “As someone who wasn’t a fan of the OG Tina, I think the mixture of her being gone and the two new additions make this show feel like someone it was not before.”
The OP went on to describe how they missed the comradery from the first two seasons. They loved seeing a group of women uplift each other and offer support as they navigated their weight loss journeys together. But now, there are two new friends in the group that viewers still don’t know much about.
“Now, it feels like we are following 5 random people on separate journies and we see no interactions besides arbitrary meet ups at random places to get all five together. There’s so many random solo scenes this season. The show feels much more lonely,” the OP concluded.
Reddit Users Add Their Voices To The Conversation
Other Redditors agreed that the show did feel odd now. However, there were other positive elements. Comments included:
- “I do like how Scott and Vannessa support each other”
- “I like it better without Tina. I like the two new characters so far, it’s interesting to watch two people before their surgery, watching Vannessa succeeding after her surgery, and even watching Meghan and Ashely failing after theirs. To be honest the only journey I even care to see is Vannessa’s.”
- “I enjoy all the episodes prior seasons & present. Things evolve new people added as with life … adjust as with life.”
- “I liked the most recent episode—it was fun seeing them try the speed dating and there was def some of the old feel when the og girls did the ice bath. But yes I see what you’re saying”
