On Tuesday, November 12th, TLC’s 1000-lb Best Friends returns with a new episode titled “Matchmaker, Make Me a Plate,” offering viewers a hefty dose of physical challenges and emotional baggage. The episode, airing at 10/9c, sees Meghan, Ashely, and Vannessa take a literal plunge into the icy unknown. Because nothing says “self-care” quite like voluntarily submerging yourself in freezing water, right?
Meanwhile, back on dry land, Tina continues to grapple with the realities of her weight loss surgery journey. And Ashely faces a particularly tough hurdle: the realization that her dream of motherhood might be further out of reach than she’d hoped. It’s a moment that cuts through the usual reality TV shenanigans and lands with a surprising amount of weight.
This season of 1000-lb Best Friends continues to follow the quartet as they attempt to maintain their weight loss momentum after their initial appearances on Discovery+’s Too Large. While the show often leans into the lighter side of their camaraderie, the emotional struggles they face—and their willingness to confront them—often provide the most compelling moments.
1000-lb Best Friends: Matchmaker, Make Me a Plate airs Tuesday, November 12 at 10/9c on TLC.
