Off Topic Saturday: This, That and the Other Tweets for June 14, 2014




Christine with the "Light" of her life, Kody...

I was kinda  happy that Robyn was able to find her "lost" tweet voice this week, but now Christine has gone dark!!!

I tell ya, when it rains, it pours with these folks!

On the subject of Robyn, she was ever so helpful with a fan who wanted info on the watch she wore.

FYI - it is a Bulova Men's Dress Watch Model #96C002. Those are Swarovski Crystals, not diamonds. Normal retail is approximately $525, but you can get it on Amazon.com for about $394.00.

You're welcome!






OOPSY!! Looks like Robyn is getting a bit testy with a fan. Ummmm....strange I remember she was the same way when pregnant with Sol. Could it be???? Well, I guess anything is possible....





But didn't Kody call Dayton "quirky"? Hello Robyn.  I believe that's a LABEL!
Just file this tweet under Open mouth. Insert foot.

Looks like Meri is having fun with her non-sister wife, monogamist friend (formerly known as the Lady in Red) and bonus child Ysabel...


And it looks like congrats are in order for VLL in their win...I'm still not too sure WHAT they won, but they won it nevertheless. #Crazygood indeed!



On to Kody who went krazy retweeting tweets from friends. Looks like they had a wild time at Christine's house...




And proud daddy  retweeting new HS grad Maddie, making sure she tweeted an explanation that she's not getting the hell out of Vegas to go back home to Utah....hmmmm. Keep to the party line, young lady. Kody would have done well 50 years ago as a Stasi Secret Police Officer in East Germany. I wonder if he threatened her with torture?





And don't forget, Mykelti graduated too...



Oh Oh...Looks like Kody might be pregnant, too. That's no way to treat someone, rule of thumb - better to ignore than to engage...if you know what I mean...



because a smart aleck like me will bring to everyone's attention how you attempted to "parent" Mykelti's date last episode.

But I do enjoy Maddie's sense of humor...


Here are some more of Mykelti's thoughts about graduating. Good Job, Mykelti!





Getting into the graduation spirit, Janelle tweeted a picture of her graduation day. What a difference the years make...and giving birth to six of Kody's children.







If you're up to it, I've put up a page that contains various tweets being made LIVE today and tonight from Sister Wives cast and viewers. You can also discuss some of the more interesting tweets on that page, too. Here's the link:

  1. who is that standing in front of christines stove third picture down? Mariah? she looks pregnant...If I was Robyn i wouldn't encourage fans to go to amazon for watches or anything else given she is selling on a website herself. She wore Kody;s watches when they were courting, that's what upset christine.

    1. That's obviously not Mariah so there is no reason to be mean. I do have to agree with you about the watch. The Browns should only wear the watches they have available on MSWC like they do with those ugly necklaces. Maybe if Kody were to sell all those watches he and Robyn own, they wouldn't have to go begging for investor money.

      Delete
    2. You would think Robyn would take off the blinged-out $400 bulova in favor of a SW Closet watch while filming the show...then again, I don't think marketing their joolery is a real high priority.

      Delete
    3. I believe the person in the background is one of Meri's sisters. I believe it is the one who went to culinary school and helped cater the recommitment ceremony.

      Delete
    4. Mariah and meri's sister do look a lot alike. I remember thinking that when she was cooking for the commitment ceremmony. Wasn't trying to be mean, i thought it looked like her.

      Delete
    5. At first glance I thought it might be Mariah too, with her new dark hair. When I double checked I saw the weight difference and realized pretty quickly it was someone else.
      It's hard to keep track of all the visitors and extended family hanging around. Especially since all these groups seem to be at least vaguely related to each other.

      Delete
    6. I went on the MSWC website for the first time in over a year last night. It was much more professional and I did like some of the watches. They really should think about wearing and plugging it on the show. The watches were even affordable priced.

      Delete
    7. I think they did get some kind of money influx, whether from the vc shown last week or others.

      They really should think about wearing and plugging it on the show.
      Isn't it funny how Kody knows MSWC needs fresh ideas (in other words someone with imagination) but he still is in the mindset all he has to do is throw money at the problem and it goes away. How many small business owners would literally KILL for the opportunity of having their own weekly reality show to display their goods? And episode after episode, Kody and Krew© squander that opportunity. Tonight's show should be interesting...

      Delete
    8. The woman in the background is a family friend, she's been in other pictures in the past, not related to them.

      Delete
  2. So happy for Maddie and Mykelti on their graduation! They have the rest of their lives ahead of them, what an exciting feeling. Janelle looked so pretty in her graduation picture.

    So let me get this straight, Robyn wasn't wearing one of the watches she is trying to sell? Ugh, these people are ridiculous. Every single female should be decked out in MSWC jewelry junk while filming. Robyn and Kody's attitude to people on Twitter is hilarious. Defensive much? I still don't see how Robyn thinks this "hobby business" will ever support 1 person, never mind a family of 22. She is delusional. Kody and Robyn really need to take CJ's advice and not engage in conflicts online.

    1. I've seen MSWC watches. Big and clunky. I guess the motto, "Modest is hottest" does not apply to the jewelry biz. Also, no one wears watches anymore, everyone checks their phones for the time.

      Delete
    2. It is *completely ridiculous* that Robyn would be wearing a $400-500 watch while begging people to buy $25 watches so they can "earn money for their huge family." Hypocrits! It makes my head spin.

      Delete
    3. It's a pretty terrible endorsement to their product that they don't even wear them...why buy something that isn't even the preference (or 'good' enough) for/of the salesperson?

      Delete
    4. I'm thinking that they just recently decided to include the craptastic watches on the site. What's different about the watches is that there is no tie to the Browns really. Like the jewelry is designed by them, or the video from their trainer or "their" band's music. The only tie I can see is that we always see Kody wearing his Big Pimpin' watch (and now we know it's not a Rolex right?). So they found some cheap ass watches to shill. Probably paying $5 apiece wholesale.

      Delete
    5. I would bet money he does have a Rolex or 2 or 3 in his watch collection - perhaps even more expensive watches. It's a status symbol, like his Lexus convertible was in Lehi, and he needs that so everyone can think he is successful even though he's not. I'm surprised he isn't wearing one of those garish heavy gold chains or a gold Italian horn from the disco 1970's.

      Delete
    6. @CJ...don't forget the "Big K" pinky ring :)

      Delete
    7. CJ, I wish I could 'like' your comments. I could see Kody in a heavy gold chain, but I'm not sure his chest hair game is up to it, and we wouldn't want his 'man card' put on suspension.

    Wow! This season the producers want Kody to look like a total A-hole 24/7 huh?!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Whoa! Kody doesn't feel empowered as the head of the family, so he whines that he has to make decisions by committee... as if that's not how it's supposed to be. He genuinely believes that he's supposed to have total control. Janelle was actually really well spoken in that clip, but her logic is lost on him.

      Delete
    2. Any and ALL logic is lost on Kody. He lives in a dream world. I kept waiting for one of the wives to answer 'Robin' when he asks what his last decision was.

      Delete
    3. I f Kody wants to be head of the household, maybe he shouldnt have such a big household with five adults. If they didnt make decisions where evey wife had a voice, the wives would have no voice. Remeber he wanted to just bark orders and have them obeyed in the trip to Navo?

      Delete
    4. Ha, LePetiteTerror, exactly! Kody makes all the decisions. He decided they should move to Nevada. He decided he should take a fourth wife. He decided that they weren't going to do the gym business. AND he just spent the entire last season saying how the problems were because the wives didn't get along well enough.

      Kody doesn't want to do the hard work of being a leader - making sure that all his wives are getting along, not bullying one another or taking food from one wife's children's mouths to install a wetbar. But he wants to be worshiped as a king.

      When will Kody learn that you have to earn the role of leader, you can't just whine until everybody does as you tell them to.

      Delete
    5. The wives have said, and especially Christine, that if kody dosn't want something, they dont do it, or that Kody is the leader. I call BS on the clip of Kody bitching about he isn't head of the family. I'm sure i'll think of a twist to this, or why that story line at some point, but for now i call BS. And wasn't that Christine's voice i heard say "I do" when the therapist asked who wanted Kody to call the shots? and why does Robyn want Kody in charge of MSWC calling all of the shots, maybe because the wives are sick of having to dump money into it?

      Delete
    6. When I think of empowering female led businesses, sisters, wives, and fashion, I KNOW I ALWAYS think of an overgrown (undereducated) bro-boy sperm donor.
      Doesn't everyone?

      Delete
    7. I thought for sure Meri would say.... "Um, moving to Vegas", when Kody said "When have I EVER made a decision without everyone's input"...lol LIAR

      Delete
  4. what happened to Kody makes all the final decisions because he sees the big pitcher? as per robyn and janelle on the last tell all. Because "they" give it to him. Kody is aggravated by something for sure. Maybe number four wife was just to much for him to handle and keep everything in check. He does seem pissed in this clip.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Cj, I must have had my head in a hole. Could you tell me who Mindy Jessop is to the Brown's? Also just curious if she was any kin to Flora Jessop? Always see her in photos with king Sol. Just curious. Thanks, texasgirl

    Replies
    1. She's the mystery relative that took over sister Taralyce's old job at Robyn's. I forget her actual relationship (one of Robyn's stepfather's stepchildren maybe?) but she isn't related to Flora Jessop. Jessop is a common name - Robyn's ex was a Jessop (and is Christine's first cousin).

      Delete
    2. CJ,
      Reading your response to Anon 5:07 about the convoluting relations in Kodyworld reminds me of one of your early reviews on the old blog where you wrote that unlike most families who have a family "tree".....the Browns and Plygs in general have a family "wreath."
      Great analogy and visua, and so, so true !!
      I laughed then and still am laughing remembering it.

      Delete
    3. I could be wrong but I think that one of Robyn's sisters is married to a Jessop. (Like she was) and Mindy is her sister'so girl.

      Delete
    4. Kody shoulda married Mindy!

      Delete
    5. "Kody shoulda married Mindy!"

      Maybe he will. You never know with this group of clowns. If he was willing to "marry" Meri's brother's wife, why not any other related female?

      Delete
  6. I actually had to re-read Robyn's tweet about how Kody "teases" the boy about not having Asperger's because I seriously couldn't believe it. I have no idea why labeling him as "quirky" on national tv is preferable to acknowledging his medical diagnosis, but clearly Kody is a fool and so is Robyn making feeble excuses on his behalf.

    1. All these women seem to do is make excuses for their husband, bolster his ego, and snap at 'fan tweets'. I'm glad technology and polygamy makes their lives so much better.
      What on earth would they do with their time if they weren't married to a man who constantly embarasses and humiliates them (and himself) on television?
      Maybe they'd have time to take up knitting.

  7. Off Topic Saturday:
    So what do they do if they add wife #5? I am talking about the house situation. Does Meri give a wing of her house to the new wife? ... Or do they buy another (bigger) cup-de-sac.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Meri will never allow another wife in her house. Janelle has room but she may be able to say no since Kody wants everyone to think they are in love again. Christine also has room as does Robyn but Robyn dropped the ball having babies so I would say Robyn will have to accept #5 as a roomie. Her 2 girls and 2 boys can share 2 rooms and the new wife can have the remaining 2 or 3 with her master suite on the second floor.

      Delete
    2. They will NEVER add another wife!

      Delete
    3. I don't see how they can avoid it, they need to populate their heavenly kingdom and the wives are getting a little long in the garments to be broodmares.

      Delete
    4. "They will NEVER add another wife!"

      Why not? Kody is like a spoiled child who loves to brag that he can do anything he wants. If Brady Williams gets decent ratings, Kody the Kreep may take on #5 just show what a man he is. (gag) He certainly seems like he is watching Brady and trying to keep up.

      Delete
  8. It's not Robyn's wanting to support a "family of 22" that is selfish... what is SELFISH is that she expects everyone else to drop what they're doing in order to prop her and her dopey ass 'business' up, instead of her growing a spine and doing whatever it takes to succeed. After all, she wanted this.

    Kody layin' the smack down on a stranger on the Internet = Lame!! False sense of manhood that you'll never have to back up... Ooooo, so tough. He's a truly laughable specimen; I wonder what he'd do in a face-to-face situation. Don't take your frustrations out on twitter, big guy, instead deal with your gigantic mess and fix it -- after all, you wanted this.

    Maybe he's trying to emulate Papa Darger in manliness as he is Brady in sexuality.

    I just got a little nauseated ...

  9. Same wishes for success! I'd also like to add wishes for independence and peace!

    I would have typed this sooner, but I was busy laughing at the second half of your comment! Hahahaha!!

  10. Wow look at Christine in the graduation picture with Mykelti and Kootie! She looks like she's lost a bunch of weight. She looks beautiful and healthy. Good for her!

    Good luck to the graduating teens as well!

    Kody is definitely getting on my nerves more and more with his sexist ways. I re-watched all the seasons recently and noticed much of the same behaviors. I'm especially tired of hearing about his "man card" and how he can't do certain things because he'll "lose it". Maybe it's just me, but the true "manliest" of men don't give a crap if they take part in typical "feminine" things because they are so confident in themselves. It shows me that Kody is driven by an intensely fragile ego. That's why he is so HAS to sit at the head of the table, because merely sitting at a different table would shatter his ego and he'd probably have a major tantrum/meltdown.

    1. I've never heard a 'manly' man discuss his 'man card'...MrPetiteTerror once took a break from building our addition to help me apply my makeup (when I fractured my wrist), and then picked out a perfectly nice outfit (with semi matching accessories) just to make my day easier.
      My father, a 6'6 240lb cop gently (and surprisingly thoroughly) curled and styled my mom's hair before her chemo appointments (what was left of it), and never once mentioned a 'man card'. Two of the 'manliest' and supportive men in the world never once worried that their virility or manhood would be questioned, no matter how 'girlie' the task...because they understand what true 'masculinity' is.
      I think Kody protests too much. I'm hard pressed to find a worse example of masculinity than Kody Brown.

      Delete
    2. I agree with you. I have also been re watching and the "man card" talk is insulting to real men. You can have a "man card" when you enter into a committed relationship where you are not threatened by your partner's strengths but celebrate them. You can have a "man card" when you financially support that family and you do not resort to dishonesty and trickery to pay the bills. You can have a " man card" when you guide, support and encourage your children to follow their dreams and realize that they are not just props in the "Klown Kody show" (and get a man haircut and not look like little Lord Fauntleroy). You can gave a "man card" when you spiritually guide your children to have a close personal relationship with God and you stop using Him as an excuse for your own weaknesses. Kody has a lot to learn and little desire to do so. He has never earned a man card, he is still a weak and insecure boy. Today is Father's Day and we can celebrate all of the real " man card" men in our lives.

      Delete
    3. Bravo to LePetiteTerror too !!
      (sometimes I read the comments from the bottom up)

      Can only add that as long as those women are willing to endorse and settle for what Kody offers as "a man" he will have no motivation to grow up and grow a pair.

      Delete
    4. Anon@2:38, I agree about Christine in the graduation photo. Maybe it's a good angle or maybe she's lost some weight, but it's a flattering photo. Love the maxi dress and denim jacket combo. I've always thought she was cute and never understood the whole nacho disgust story Kody told. If she really did lose a few pounds, she could easily be the most attractive wife, not to place too much emphasis on looks.

      Delete
    5. tired of hearing about his "man card" and how he can't do certain things because he'll "lose it"

      It's pathetic isn't it? Did you catch the part when he was in charge of cooking brunch where he declared he'd NEVER cook quiche?! I LMAO! This guy is so desperate to prove he isn't gay that it just screams "I'm gay". I loved the episode where they went back to his high school and one of his former classmates said "I just always assumed he was gay"! Explains some of his desperation to prove he's a man.

      Delete
    6. I think she has taken some pointers from Meri on standing with a slight turn and chin over shoulder.

      Delete
    7. tears LaPetiteTerror...just tears for your words that are so very true. It's called character and having empathy and a soul. Kody has none of these qualities, and no amount of spouting positive qualities from his wives is going to give it to him. There is a reason his wives are an emotional wreck and crying at the drop of a word or look. This man card is line of his is worn out.

      Delete
    8. Kody has no confidence in his own manliness so he has married 4 women to prove what a man he is.

    9. Anon 3:36
      It was hard to write, because seeing how gently and carefully my dad cared for my mom, like styling her hair because it was important to her. Making sure her lips and cheeks were pink when she had visitors (because she didn't want people to pity her), up until the very end, makes me shake in anger when I think of a man like Kody and his concept of masculinity and leadership.
      No, not every man would do that, polygamist or monogamist, but it was the truest expression of love and genuine masculinity that I have ever seen.
      He didn't need a medal or sash, or even the constant tweets Kody requires from his wives, he just needed her to be happy.
      If the relationships we see on this program are benefits that no monogamist will ever know, thank God.
      I will take boring old monogamy everyday.

  11. MSWC is obviously a disaster and we all knew it would be. What should they have done? We have a family with 5 adults with a sudden infusion of money. What would have been the best plan to set them up for the future? I'm having trouble coming up with an idea, other than Meri completing her education and Janelle going back into the workforce. Jen Arnold from the LIttle Couple has a real job. Janelle could have had a real job as well. And there should be plenty of jobs for con men like Kody in Vegas. But I can't really think of a business that would be successful in their hands.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Janelle once again lovin her man and being thankful that he is so great on Twitter! Because we all know how wonderful and involved as a father Kody is! Right? She is delusional. She is completely blinded by this new found romantic attraction she has found in her ponytail wearing lover! -texasgirl-

    ReplyDelete
  13. I suspect Janelle has a real job, but doesn't talk about it much because Kody doesn't want her to take away the fake-for-TV urgency surrounding MSWC, thus pissing off Robyn. (And, hey Robyn, it IS selfish to insist that your dream should be everybody's dream. Meri was smart to tell Kody her plans before telling you---you would have made an end run to get Kody on your side, using your uterus and possibly even your cookie as a weapon.)

  15. Janelle posted on twitter how lucky she was to have such a hands on father for her children. Trying to spread yourself around 4 women and 16 kids every 4 days isn't very hands on. It's just not humanly possible to be "hands on" with spreading yourself so thin.

  16. Didn't the Browns team with another company last year to help with SW Closet? I remember them talking about it when they were at the casino setting the deal up to sell their iconic trinkets in the gift shop. Wonder if they are still around or if they ran for the hills! I also noticed a lack of well placed green water bottles around the houses...is the green goo business defunct? Since actually getting a real job is beyond Kody's man card capabilities I can only wonder what crazy $$$ scheme will be next.

  18. There is a picture of all four wives pitching to an investor on the TLC facebook page. Meri is huge! She wears these little jackets that don't help. TLC is using season one pictures which is strange. Everyone on facebook thinks she has lost weight! Why she has gained who knows. Maybe loosing lover boy to such a dip shit was too insulting for her.

  19. Regarding a fifth wife- didn't kody say many times that God was the one that would decide how many wives he would have? That he had no control over whether or not he got called to take one? Am I crazy?

Ok, these people make me nuts, I can't help but to think that this whole MSWC thing is nothing more than an elaborate plot devise...i really dont believe any of it...i do not think any of them really thought MSWC would support even one person let alone a family of 22. What really amazes me is that the Brown's (and whoever is producing the show for TLC) thinks this crap is interesting...the last time this show was interesting was when they were in Utah and we were watching them go about their daily lives...now, they are all disingenuous and unrelatable...I mean really, what are they going for here, a "real housewives of Las Vegas" meets "shark tank"? How about they take a page from Survivor and vote Kody off the island.

    Replies
    1. I don't understand what the big deal is about Meri not wearing her wedding ring. One of my friends stopped wearing her rings after her second child because her fingers were swollen. Another stopped wearing hers because she lost a lot of weight and they needed to be resized. In Meri's case, maybe her ring doesn't fit and needs to be resized. I just don't understand this focus on her (or any woman's) wearing their wedding rings!
