‘The Swimmers Be Swimming’: Chris & Brittany’s Two-Line Fertility Test Stuns Fans on ‘Not So Fast Car’

Season 9, Episode 6 of 1000-Lb Sisters aired Tuesday, October 6, 2026, and while Amy and Tammy Slaton turned driver’s ed into a comedy show, the moment everyone is still talking about came down to two lines on a fertility test. Chris and Brittany Combs took the biggest step yet on their baby journey in “Not So Fast Car” — and the results have the fandom split right down the middle.

Two Lines That Changed Everything for Chris & Brittany

After meeting with a gynecologist, Chris and Brittany ran at-home fertility tests before moving forward, according to a clip from the episode reported by Primetimer. Chris went first with a male fertility test checking his sperm count — a second line at the “C” mark meant a healthy result. While waiting, he admitted fearing he could be the reason they hadn’t conceived. The result: two lines. “The swimmers be swimming,” he joked.

Then came Brittany’s ovulation test — nerve-wracking after a lifetime of irregular cycles. “I have never taken an ovulation test because I never thought that I was ovulating,” she admitted. Two lines again. “I’ve always waited for two lines on a test, but maybe I’m a step closer to the one I want,” Brittany said. But it’s not a green light yet: they still need Dr. Smith’s approval before trying. “We still have to get the okay from Dr. Smith,” Chris said. Brittany closed the scene with a laugh, joking she was ready to put the test “to the test.”

Amy & Tammy Turn Driver’s Ed Into a Traffic Jam

The sisters’ quest for driver’s licenses was pure chaos in an exclusive clip TLC shared with Parade. Called up for a four-way-s top demo with toy cars, Amy, 38, and Tammy, 40, correctly figured out that Amy — who arrived first — had the right of way. Then the instructor added himself to the intersection and both froze. Amy’s response: “B—h, go!” — middle finger included. The instructor cracked up: “Careful with the hand signals.”

“Causing a traffic jam on the whiteboard,” Tammy admitted to producers. “We stop traffic all the time,” Amy joked — “Ow!” Tammy shot back. A fellow student, there after a DUI, asked how much he could drink and still drive. Amy shut it down: “None! Don’t drink one.” When he asked whether he could get arrested for drinking while sitting in his vehicle, she exclaimed, “Dude, don’t drink and drive!”

Tammy vs. Misty: The Gripe That Refuses to Die

Per TLC’s episode description, Tammy made it clear she’s nowhere near done with her ongoing drama with Misty. The tension between the sisters — simmering all season — boiled right back over in episode 6.

The Question Splitting the Fandom: Does Chris Actually Want This Baby?

Fans online are debating whether Chris is truly on board. According to fan reactions compiled by TV Spoiler News, some viewers say Chris looks disinterested whenever the topic comes up and speculate Brittany may be pressuring him on camera — with a few suggesting TLC is the real force behind the storyline. One fan noted he’s already a grandfather; another said he seems to be going along with it just for Brittany.

But the other camp points to episode 6 itself: the genuine worry in his voice while waiting for the result, the relieved joke, the celebration. That doesn’t look like a man just going through the motions, they argue.

So where do you land — Team “Chris is all in,” or Team “This is a TLC storyline”? And the bigger question: with two lines on both tests, are Chris and Brittany finally about to get Dr. Smith’s green light? Sound off in the comments below!
