Little People’s Zach and Tori Roloff’s podcast Raising Heights takes major dive on charts after stars quit reality show
LITTLE People, Big World stars Zach and Tori Roloff’s new podcast, Raising Heights, has dropped down on the charts after they revealed they are leaving their reality show.
Tori, 32, and Zach, 33, announced their new podcast, Raising Heights, earlier this month with their first episode premiering on Thursday, February 8.
Raising Heights premiered with strong stats, as they were in the No. 42 spot in the Top Shows category on Apple Podcasts for their first week.
In the relationships category, Raising Heights was in the No. 1 spot.
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal Raising Heights has dropped significantly for week four, as they dropped down to the No. 190 spot for Top Shows.
As for the Relationships category, Raising Heights dropped down to the No. four spot.
The show currently has 4.9 stars and 602 reviews.
LEAVING REALITY TV
The drop in ranking comes after the stars revealed they have quit their TLC show Little People, Big World and will not return for season 26.
Tori said on last week’s episode, “Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room. Are we coming back to Little People, Big World?”
Zach, who has been on the show for two decades, responded, “We are not. We made that pretty clear the last cycle.”
Tori added, “But I don’t think it’s been officially announced to people like we are not coming back to Little People, Big World. We are done. That part in our lives, that chapter has closed.”
Zach noted that it should be no surprise to fans that they’re leaving the TLC series after the events that played out in recent seasons, including his feud with his father over who will take over Roloff Farms.
The father of three also revealed that they hadn’t officially been asked to return.
He added: “I think the chapter has closed regardless of us being asked back or not. We made it pretty clear we’re done with that chapter for multiple reasons.
“Because we made that pretty clear, they haven’t asked us back technically, but this last cycle was rough between the family, the farm deal, and we were done with it. We moved on.”
They also decided to leave to show for their children’s privacy.
They are parents to Jackson, six, Lilah, four, and Josiah, one.
In September, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the reality TV couple would unlikely return to the show.
FAMILY FEUD
On Little People, Big World, patriarch Matt feuded with Zach over the farm after he refused his son’s offers on the property.
The rejection ignited a rift between the pair, which Zach has talked about on the show.
“The north side is the 30 acres my mom and dad shared, and the whole thing was weird, he starts making excuses… suddenly me and my wife are not good enough to run the farm,” he said.
“Whether we don’t have the money, don’t have the skillset.”
The argument has further caused a divide among the family, as Zach opted to take a step back from his duties at the farm.
Zach and Tori decided to move from their Oregon home to their new $1 million abode in Battle Ground, Washington.
NEW CAREER
Tori and Zach announced their new podcast earlier this month on Instagram.
