Scott Bagwill is the new star of 1000-lb Best Friends as he joins the girls on their weight loss journey. He’s wrapped up in the drama, from being told to get out, to his mom sharing his food habits.

Thanks to the popularity of TLC‘s 1000-lb Sisters, a friendship version continues to dominate screens. 1000-lb Best Friends follows newbie Scott and his co-stars as they try to drop major lbs.

Scott Bagwill holds arms out and looks angry as he faces right on 1000-lb Best Friends.

Scott Bagwill joins 1000-lb Best Friends

Scott Bagwill is the new addition to 1000-lb Best Friends, alongside Tina Senter. He’s “always loved food” and is now on a journey to cut down on the calories so he can qualify for weight loss surgery.

However, not all of his co-stars are on board. Megan told cameras, “Scott says he’s doing good but I saw him go to town on that guac and you’re going to eat an entrée.”

Tina also has a problem with Scott. During a friends get-together, she tells him, “All you do is act like you’re the boss around here. I’m over it,” to which he responds, “I wasn’t.”

WOW: Vannessa Cross ‘killed assignment’

She tells him to “get the f*** out of here,” but he refuses. Megan tells her friends, “Something needs to calm down,” before another co-star says, “No no, nothing don’t need to calm down,” and Scott leaves.

Scott’s mother attended his visit to Dr. Charles Proctor, the bariatric surgeon, on 1000-lb Best Friends. She claims he eats 10 items of food in one sitting, which leaves the doctor concerned.

Proctor tells Scott, who had told his mom “no” when she shared his food habits with the bariatric surgeon, “This is about you deciding, are you going to live or die?”

TLC star makes lifestyle changes

While he admits cheese is his “downfall”, the newbie is making serious changes, such as not going to fast food restaurants. Scott has also cut out soda since trying to lose weight.

The TLC star is now “starting to see positives from the changes” and his co-star, Vannessa Cross, who dropped 273lbs herself and wants skin removal surgery, feels “so proud of him.”

Scott has joined a swimming pool fitness center to work on dropping his weight. He shared a snap of the pool on his Instagram Story and wrote, “Back in the pool! Let’s get it baby!”
