Chrisley Knows Best on USA Network wraps up season 1 on April 22 with episode 8.
The finale includes an amusing “slap fight,” along with Todd trying to plan a party, and Todd and Julie making a bet.
The show follows Todd Chrisley, an Atlanta-based businessman who is worth millions, and his colorful clan, including his wife Julie, five children, and two grandchildren.
“Season one introduced the outspoken and overprotective, but very loving husband and father, Todd Chrisley and his unique brood, including his lovely wife Julie, and charming-yet-scheming children: Lindsie, Kyle, Chase, Savannah and Grayson,” the network said in its season 2 renewal announcement.
“For me, I don’t put anything else in front of my children. I don’t put anything in front of my wife,” he said.
“The family that I create with my wife is something that will sustain us through what goes on in life. So, they have to be my primary focus.”
On surviving Julie’s breast-cancer diagnosis:
“I get emotional about that still, because we just passed the two-year mark. ... I read so many articles about women who’ve had similar to what Julie’s gone through, and were told that they were fine, and here they are a year later, two years later, and they’ve been diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer.
“So Julie literally was in her doctor’s appointment yesterday for her two-year checkup. We stay on top of it. We go every three months with her. Per what her doctor said, I have Julie’s body under surveillance. I can’t stand the thought of not waking up with this woman or not having her for the rest of my life.
“When we first got married, I used to think, I hope when it’s time for the Lord to take one of us, I hope that he takes me first, because I don’t want to die of a broken heart. But now, as I’ve gotten older, and we have children, and we have grandchildren now, I now have revised that instead to, ‘Lord, when the time comes, take her before me, so I know that I have taken care of her until her last day.’
“So the fear consumes me, when it comes to losing her. It’s still very emotional in my life.”
