ATLANTA, GEORGIA: '1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3 is nearing its highly anticipated release with new faces joining the cast. While Tina Arnold is being replaced by Tina A. Senter, another fresh face, Scott Bagwill, will also be part of the crew. As the newest addition, all eyes are on Scott, and it’s clear he was made for reality TV.

In the latest '1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3 trailer, the TLC newbie is seen in a fierce verbal showdown with Senter, who calls him out for his bossy behavior. Bagwill denies the accusation and tries to stand his ground. However, Senter, clearly fed up, shouts at him to leave the room. Although Bagwill refuses at first with a firm "No," he eventually storms out, slamming the door behind him. Tension is high, and it seems Ashley Sutton may also be tired of his controlling attitude, as she sides with Senter, saying, "No, no. Everything don't need to f***ing calm down." Meghan Crumpler, on the other hand, tries to defuse the situation.

'1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3 star Scott Bagwill blames cheese for his weight struggles

In the '1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3 trailer, Bagwill introduces himself during one of Dr. Charles Procter's bariatric support group sessions. He admits to giving up fast food and soda despite his love for food. However, he blames cheese for his ultimate downfall in the weight struggle. Although he acknowledges that cutting out junk food has allowed him to see the positives of his changes, Vanessa Cross has a different perspective. She points out that while Bagwill claims he is "doing good," he seems to relish every opportunity to indulge in food. Overall, it appears Bagwill might be a letdown on his weight loss journey, as he seems to be in denial about not seeing any evident changes.
