Season 25 of Little People Big World is officially a wrap, with the finale episode airing on TLC. Between everything that is going on off-camera, as well as everything that went on in TLC scenes, there’s a lot to unpack, as well as a lot to consider for the future.

TLC Family Rift Over Roloff Farms Still Ongoing
Much of the drama over the last few seasons has been around the botched Roloff Farms deal that fell apart. Originally, the plan was for Matt Roloff to sell a portion of the farm to Zach Roloff and Jeremy Roloff as a way to keep the farm in the family and continue the legacy.
After negotiations fell apart, Matt Roloff decided to turn the “Big House” where he and Amy Roloff raised their children into a short-term rental, Airbnb situation. While this has been a lucrative move by Matt from a business standpoint, it soured his relationship with Zach Roloff. Their family rift has been a major source of drama in Little People Big World scenes, and there may be no coming back from it.

Little People Big World: How Zach Roloff And Matt Roloff’s Relationship Will Never Be The Same
Families feud all the time. Often, small squabbles can be squashed relatively quickly. Other times, things get bad enough to where a relationship is pushed to the brink or broken entirely. Zach said in Little People Big World scenes that if they ever do get to a point where things heal, their relationship will be “different.”
Some wounds may scab over. Other times, they are significant enough that they completely change a relationship, even after healing occurs. Another major downside to this beef is that Matt Roloff is missing time with his grandkids as well.

Even Amy Roloff acknowledged that things between her ex-husband and son had been altered forever. Amy said: “I don’t think they’ll ever look at it as that father-son bonding relationship type of thing, no.”
Things will get even more tricky now that Zach and Tori are officially done with Little People Big World. It is often said that time heals all wounds. At least for the moment, Zach is putting that to the test when it comes to his dad.

How their relationship will look moving forward is something that a lot of viewers are curious about. With Zach and Tori officially leaving the show, there are also a lot of questions surrounding the future of the franchise as well. Season finales are ideally supposed to tie up loose ends. However, with everything going on with the Roloff family and its various branches, the Season 25 finale seemingly left many with even more questions.
