Fans Are Begging TLC for an Amanda & Misty Spin-Off After One Hilarious Pedicure Debate

Forget the main storyline for a minute. The loudest demand coming out of the latest 1000-Lb Sisters clip has nothing to do with weddings or family feuds. It is much simpler: fans want Amanda Halterman and Misty Slaton to get their own show.
The spark is a short, lighthearted clip shared by TLC, in which the two older sisters debate something gloriously ordinary: pedicure colors. According to reports of fan reactions online, viewers were not just laughing. They were campaigning.
The Pedicure Debate That Started It All
In the clip, Misty suggests a bold red shade for her pedicure, while Amanda quickly vetoes it: that darker tone belongs in winter, and summer calls for something brighter. She then reveals her own signature shade, a vivid pink she proudly claims as her own.
Misty happily owns her love of pedicures, joking that she can be girly from the ankles down. Amanda fires back that her sister could use a little help from the knees up — a line so good that TLC itself used it as the caption.
It is a tiny moment. But it shows why these two work on screen: neither is performing a feud, and both are completely comfortable roasting each other.
Why Fans Suddenly Want a Spin-Off
Scroll through the reactions and one theme repeats: viewers want to join them. Fans say they would happily book a pedicure chair next to Amanda and Misty, and several admit they briefly wondered whether the two sisters were the same person — a joke that says a lot about how in sync they feel on camera.
Fans also praise the pair’s calm demeanor, a welcome contrast to the louder dynamics elsewhere in the family. Amanda and Misty offer something rarer: sisters who can disagree about nail polish, laugh about it, and move on without a blow-up. Viewers are not asking for more drama — just more ordinary, funny, low-stakes sister time.
Ranking the Funniest Beats of the Clip
First place has to go to Amanda’s closing zinger — affectionate, not cruel, the kind of joke only a sister can get away with. Second is Misty’s ankles-down confession, a perfectly self-aware line that turns a beauty appointment into a personality statement. Third is Amanda’s seasonal color ruling, delivered as if pedicure shades were a matter of law. And fourth? The fan confusion itself — two sisters so alike that viewers did a double-take.
Amanda vs. Misty: Who Is the Real Fan-Favorite?
Here is where the fanbase splits. Team Amanda loves the quick wit: the one-liners and the refusal to let a bad color choice slide. Team Misty loves the warmth: the self-deprecating humor and the steady presence of the family’s eldest sibling.
Their history backs up both cases. Misty is the eldest Slaton sibling, and both sisters stepped up in Season 4 while helping Tammy during rehab. Both later had bariatric revision surgeries approved in 2023 and were operated on the same day in Season 5, according to reports. The Season 8 trailer also showed them reacting to Amy excluding Tammy as maid of honor. Through it all, they have felt less like supporting players and more like the family’s grounding force.
What an Amanda & Misty Spin-Off Could Look Like
If fans had their way, it would not need a big premise. Salon chats and everyday errands full of teasing would be plenty — the appeal is the company, not a twist.
New episodes of 1000-Lb Sisters air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on TLC. But the verdict from this pedicure debate is already in: the older sisters are no longer just background family. They are fan favorites in their own right.
So, what do you think? Should TLC give Amanda and Misty their own spin-off — and are you Team Amanda, Team Misty, or firmly Team Both? Tell us in the comments.
