| Kody trying to make his point while sitting at the head of the table... |
Now that the Live Tweeting Party is over, I've gone through the...ummm...hundreds of tweets from last night's show and culled the best of the best for posterity.
Looks like Kody is getting just a little bit testy about his less than stellar performance with the investors. "Looked unprepared" is an understatement.
I was not there to pitch our business. I was there to ask advice. I had no idea that Stan wanted us to pitch/plan. We "looked" unprepared.
— Kody Brown (@realkodybrown) June 9, 2014
Just another example of the Kody Brown brain at work...using other people's money so you can hire help so Robyn can have another baby. Yeah....good plan there.
Need to get business $$$ so we can hire help so we can have another baby. Simple, right?
— Kody Brown (@realkodybrown) June 9, 2014
Uh, Kody hate to break it to ya, but Meri is quitting MSWC to go back to school. She won't have time to be Robyn's unpaid helper any longer....
Neither Robyn or I understood that Meri was NOT quitting My Sisterwife's Closet to go back to school. It was unclear, so it set us back.

Duh!! If you don't kiss, you probably wouldn't ever have sex. So don't kiss!! It is not a RULE, it is just a guideline.
— Kody Brown (@realkodybrown) June 9, 2014
Oh yeah Kody, fine example you set...here's a picture of your "guideline" in action when you were courting Robyn...and Christine was in the hospital about to give birth to Truely.  |

It took a lot to get @LuvgvsUwngs to understand that I'm not quitting on her. I still hope every day that she understands.
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) June 9, 2014
It's obvious the Browns are too lazy to think how an online business can not be successful when the website goes down when more than 20 people try to access it. Yeah, I'll just come back later...NOT!
"@hiimrachel74: @MeriBrown1 Is the website up? I'm having trouble pulling it up" Lots of traffic on it tonight, keep trying! Working on it!
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) June 9, 2014
@dkh66213 We're working on that! Lots of interest tonight, just getting bogged down!

At last! Robyn tweets!!
"@dexterpsgrl: @LuvgvsUwngs do all sister wives need to agree on trying to extend the family". No. It is a private couple discussion.
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) June 9, 2014
And with Janelle showing houses, she won't mind financing that new mouth to feed, will she...Robyn will not be outdone in the proud Mama category...
I am so proud of Dayton. He was the student body 8th grade rep this last year, he gets amazing grades & he works out & maintains his health.
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) June 9, 2014
And finally, we get a statement about Dayton's injury...
@DevonLKC No. Dayton was in an ATV accident, and he requested that we not cover this story on Sister Wives. He is doing great.
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) June 9, 2014
Just file this next tweet under "TMI"....
"@whiteep22: @realkodybrown @LuvgvsUwngs what is in that backpack?!?!" Kody is a boy scout. Always prepared!
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) June 9, 2014
Janelle also tweets about her children....
No matter what happens to me - my children will always be my crowning achievement. They are so amazing. I am so blessed.

MrSpock travels the galaxy but is not a tweeter. Therefore, Captain CJ, if one is not tweetified does one just comment about the tweets you post? MrSpock is "excited" about the return of SW (note the one raised eyebrow) but not with the same excitement as the tweeters listed above. MrSpock continues to be interested from a purely scientific viewpoint---and wonderment that some humans would willingly and continually subject themselves to a life of jealously and misery.
ReplyDeleteif one is not tweetified does one just comment about the tweets you post?
DeleteOf course! And you can also comment about the tweets above, too, right here if you want.
mr spock was one of my first crushes too! never heard nimoy sing, so i've never really gotten over that. in all fairness, my husband is pretty stoic too, as well as a scientist, though not from outer space. love him to bits, but every once in a while, some emotion would be nice too. speaking of which, is there a mr jinx and how does he compare to mr spock, if that's not too personal a question?
ReplyDeleteThere have been several Mr. Jinx, but I got to admit, they don't compare favorably to Mr. Spock at all..
DeleteJust for you I embedded a youtube of Leonard Nimoy singing Proud Mary on the other page. You are in for a treat! Bwahahahaha!!
ok, that was pretty gruesome. then again, even nimoy admits that singing outside the shower was a mistake. also, i can't carry a tune in a bucket, so who am i to judge. so, still willing to try to make his green blood boil.
DeleteMrSpock is flattered by all the attention---but is not so sure his fans are correct about his singing voice. I made several hit recordings while a young Vulcan/Man on my home planet. Of course, Vulcan blew up recently...and now there are 2 of me...I have contacted my other self and he will also be watching SW tonight.
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
DeleteTweets look like even mix of Sister Wives lovers and those who don't love them. It's going to be crazy once the new show of the season starts.
ReplyDeleteSo what was the big announcement?
ReplyDeleteVLL is selling there music on my sister wives closet. What a suprise. Like we all didn't see that coming. Big friggin deal!
ReplyDeleteOh hell no. THAT WAS THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT? Offering VLL music on MSWC wow what a surprise THAT was....NOT. Big build up = big letdown. Par for the course for the Brown krew.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure their next BIG announcement will be the collaboration of VLL and sister wives selling their t-shirts on mswc. And I'm sure they will make a big deal out of it as well. I don't really understand why this band wants to be associated with this family. To me its kind of weird.
ReplyDeleteHi texasgirl,
DeleteI wanted to let you know Blogger for some strange reason is screening your comments into another queue. Now that I'm aware of the issue there won't be such a long wait for your comments to appear!
What do you bet the band and the Browns share the same promotions manager? That woman from Las Vegas? Otherwise I can see no reason why they would want to associate with the Browns. Of course, the Browns get a lot of hangers-ons trying to ride their reality show celeb coat tails. You just have to wonder what the heck will become of Kody and Krew once the show concludes.Do you think they will be able to maintain their lifestyle on rerun residuals? Can't imagine MSWC will ever fully launch.
DeleteAnon 3:29, reality show families don't get residuals. They aren't SAG members. They just get paid a one time fee for each season or ep, in return the network can air it as much as they want and the Browns don't see another nickel.
Delete10 minutes in and Kody has managed to say hormones can transfer through kissing, Dayton doesn't have autism he's just "quirky", and bumped Christine out of the chair at the head of the table so he could sit there. New season, same old Kody!
ReplyDeleteYes! Moving her from the head of the table was so insulting. I'm surprised none of the other wives spoke up. Then again I may be confusing their personalities with those of my 5 wives.
DeleteWHAT??? He's saying that Dayton isn't autistic after Robyn making such a big freaking deal about it for the last bazillion seasons???
Deleteoh and those are the FUGLIEST WATCHES EVER on MSWC and also they are on Amazon for cheaper. And Prime yet, free two day shipping.
I was trying to see the watches when the website zonked out, most likely the server couldn't handle the traffic. =====> FIX YOUR WEBSITE, ROBYN. YOU'RE LOSING SALES!!
Deletealso they are on Amazon for cheaper. And Prime yet, free two day shipping.
Deleteand I betcha Amazon won't bill your credit card until the merchandise has been shipped, too.
CJ, Amazon already has MY info, why would I give my CC and address info to MSWC to mess with.
Deleteoh yeah. Pity purchase. to help them pay for their friggin' lifestyle, dontcha know.
After Kody's stellar assessment of fever and previous flu diagnosis (not to mention power spraying foot injuries) I think we can all feel confident in his medical diagnostic skills.
DeleteESPECIALLY as far as a complex issue like Aspergers or autism goes. When will Big Pharmacy admit 'quirky' exists?
I can't be the only one who sees a new career for Kidy if polygamous gigolo and Keith Urban impersonator doesn't work out...he's obviously a scientific dynamo.
Side note, I love Dayton, and I am all for making him happy and comfortable, but I hate his 'rat tail'. This family makes some strange hair choices.
DeleteThanks hope its not something I have done. Not that computer savy. Manage to muttle my way through most things though. Thanks for taking the time to post my comments.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he has a problem with "h" words like Christine does with "p" words and mixed up "hormones" and "herpes."
ReplyDeleteAh....someone from TLC should remind the Browns to use #sisterwives - which is how TLC is telling tweeters how to follow the live tweets! So aggravating...
ReplyDeleteThey are probably getting flustered from reading the hilarious tweets about Kody's "man speech"!!
DeleteKody talks about "defrauding" etc. and not kissing because then it will take away from your future husband---and I'm thinking, HECK, you do that every 4th day in your woman rotation---so aren't you, Kody, constantly "defrauding" those 4 women? Talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.
ReplyDeleteHe also French kissed Sobbin' before marriage (and I'm pretty sure they had sex too). Besides, he's sleeping with multiple women. He's such a hypocrite and a-hole. He should've just said that he'd rather not have them have sex and let that be that - and leave that shit about hormones in mouth, holding hands leading to broken hearts etc.
DeleteI'm guessing if he was having weekend visits with her and having "snuggle time" with her kids (uh, gross) he was getting the "cookie" as well. Because seriously, who has their boyfriend "snuggle" with their young girls while they're still dating. I was a single mom and that strikes me as a big red flag no-no.
DeleteI thought that too. He kissed his girlfriend while his wife was going into labor. And as he said... we all know where kissing leads.
DeleteYes, Anon 7:46! Giant neon, flashing, noisy red flag. I was a single mom for quite a few years too, and anything like that would've had me running in the opposite direction. Totally inappropriate, especially at that early stage of a relationship. That said, I don't mean to imply anything improper was actually going on here.
DeleteHmm...as I type this, it occurs to me that Robyn might have encouraged the snuggle time in order to promote quick family bonding. She was pushing the Kody-as-Dad thing really early on, if I recall correctly. If so, that's almost worse.
I don't think Kody would ever do anything with or to a child. He's a doofus, not a pedophile. But Robyn wanting her boyfriend to "snuggle" with her children, that's just weird weird weird. I asked my daughter how she would have felt if I had her step-father have "snuggle time" with her and her brother when we were first dating (we lived far apart, too and only saw each other on weekends) and she said it would have been incredibly creepy.
DeleteRobyn had her eyes sat on Kody, because $$$. The fact that she was married before, already left a bad taste in his mouth but the fact that she has kids with her ex totally grosses him out, because in his mind it is proof and constant reminder that she has had sex with another man.
DeleteSo to conquer that she wanted her kids to snuggle a lot with Kody to create a bond, to awake father feelings in him so he'd see them as kids and not as evidence of past sexual acts. This is further supported by her purrrrty speech.
Yes it is extremely creepy.
Kody may be a lot of things under the sun but I'm sure he's not a pedophile.
Why can't Kody just say they prefer the kids not kiss and hold hands because it could lead to other things? Why does he mess it up with crazy Kody talk. That poor kid.
ReplyDeleteHoly, Toledo; Holy Moley; Good Grief!!! Kody, if you want something particular donewith your Lehi house---go do it yourself!!!! Apparently they want to sell it but not as a "plyg" house. I mean, what is Kody doing that he can't take care of this himself instead of dumping it on Meri??
ReplyDeletewell what else IS it??? The photos on the State of Utah site or Property Shark show it was originally built as an ordinary one family house and then modified to a PLYG house. in a PLYG town. how ELSE are you going to sell it???
Deletesomeone must have told them....at any rate Janelle and Christine are using the #sisterwives now...
ReplyDeletePoor Robyn has aged so much...she looks really unhappy. And Kody man up and take care of the Lehi house!!!
ReplyDeleteSince meri is ditching robyns buisness. Does this mean the burden of tweeting every 10 minutes about VLL is now robyns job?
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I think you may have hit on something Robyn may be good at, besides birthing babies.
DeleteOK CJ I had to say it "But I don't know nothin' about birthin' no babies!!!"
Deleteand PLEASE Robyn spare me the holding your uterus hostage. I know many, MANY women who work more than 40 hours a week AND take fitness classes AND take care of their families while cooking the latest bun in their respective ovens. JUST BE TRUTHFUL ROBYN AND SAY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ANY EXCUSE NOT TO BE BIRTHIN ANY MORE BABIES. Even though that was part of the deal.
And also, I have to say that I probably worked harder at my teen job sitting in a Fotomat kiosk selling film while reading Harlequin Romances and listening to the radio than Robyn does on MSWC.
Does anyone else notice the constant theme of quotes and writings on the wall? It's like they all have the same taste in cheesy sayings.
ReplyDeleteThey probably buy all their wall deco at Ross & Family Dollar
Delete*Raised eyebrow* So many topics; so little time: Kody with straight hair, Kody with a ponytail, Kody and Dayton, is it Asperger's or not, Dayton calls Kody "Dad", Meri is going back to college, Kody and Janelle are now romantic, Kody lectures Mykelti & boyfriend about defrauding, Kody goes from house to house, they want to sell the Lehi house as non-plyg, what the heck does Kody do all day, SWC needs to grow, they need venture investment, they were not prepared for the venture meeting, they want SWC to go brick and mortar, Robyn wants a baby, they are so "busy"...MrSpock believes fighting the Borg Collective is easier than being a member of the Brown family.
ReplyDeleteYea my head was spinning after this episode. Is it me or does the furnishings in their homes look a little..."cheap"?
DeleteI've got to wait 90 minutes to watch the premiere. Figures that they want to use other people's money to finance that black hole called MSWC. I'd like to see Kody and Robyn on Shark Tank.
DeleteGet a bucket ready in case Kodouche makes you throw up.
DeleteOH PLEASE Browns DO go Brick and Mortar. That would be a train wreck of epic proportions. PLEASE. DO IT.
DeleteYah right! Kody and Janelle romantic?! Bah! Why did they come home so early from their date?
DeleteIf this storyline is true, and they were married for 16 years or so and it they were not romantic, what a sad, horrible life for Janelle. I can't imagine raising six children virtually alone that were fathered by a man who found intimacy with me to be "awkward," and all the while knowing he was bedding other women. Terrible story line if it's true.
DeleteI don't think Janelle married Kody for romance or "love". He's her ticket to heaven and it was her job to give birth to as many of his spirit babies as possible. When they lived in Utah Janelle said she'd prefer to work and left parenting up to Christine. I think now that she has had a chance to be a Stat at home mom she now realizes how much her love for Kody has grown.
DeletePerhaps losing weight had Janelle seeing herself as attractive and that transferred to the bedroom. The lifestyle is sick, but... if Janelle can get one up on Sobbin' & Meri by being Kody's current favorite affair...then go for it Janelle! As the "wife" that the Kodster used for procreation & the more intellectual discussions in the past, perhaps she believes she's finally got it all.
DeleteRobyn made such a big deal about all of her worries when she moved closer to the Brown's in Utah about Dayton's autism, and how all of it would affect him. Does he not have it now? Kody is defending himself on twitter, he is already on the defence about his hair and business meeting , i see alot of what has been discussed here showing up in dialouge on the show..how funny
ReplyDeleteit's possible Robyn diagnosed Dayton with Asperger's herself after reading an article online or something. On one of the first episodes she says something like "it explains a lot of his behavior and stuff," and now "I know what I've read about it."
DeleteRobyn knows he has it. You are instructed to read, read, read the moment you get the diagnosis. It does not surprise me used the phrase I have read enough, I am convinced. Even in monogamy one parent does all the reading and when a disagreement arises the one who read is like, it's in the book, if you read the book this would not be odd to you. For some reason the world doesn't want people to have autism and has it in their head the nephew, grandson, neighbor must just have something else or be quirky. Like it is some compliment that they really don't think they have it. The problem with the spectrum is people have it in their head how autism and all the flavors look so when they see the person doing something outside that they question it. Kody hasn't been to the doctors, he hasn't been reading the books, he sees him seldom. He is years behind acceptance of the diagnosis.
Deletejust watched it, Robyn mentioned having the tests done. All the parents I know who have kids who are on the spectrum read and research and know all there is to know about autism. Kody probably is challenged reading the wrapper on a package of Charmin toilet paper.
DeleteI thought Kody's public denial of Dayton's Asperger's diagnosis was disgusting. It shows ignorance and a lack of compassion. Of course, King Kody wouldn't have a stepchild on the spectrum. He's just "quirky." For Dayton's sake, I hope his real father isn't threatened by labels and is more engaged in his son's therapies.
DeleteI am not understanding why it is all up to Meri to take care of the Lehi house situation. Why cant Kody do this? All he seems to do all day long is go from couch to couch and eat.
ReplyDeleteYes...and assert his role as the MAN of the family.
DeleteKodouche is too busy stylin' his hair to worry about real world events. He is an immature self-centered egotistical emotionally manipulative jerk. No real job outside of this show to bring in a paycheck. These women have always taken care of him--just like his mama did. His comment about what his father thought of him was very telling. His dad had him pegged!
DeleteKody Brown @realkodybrown · 1 h
ReplyDeleteDuh!! If you don't kiss, you probably wouldn't ever have sex. So don't kiss!! It is not a RULE, it is just a guideline.
----
It is well known hookers don't kiss their clients but they sure have a lot of sex!
It is well known that Kody is an idiot. And I have to say....I'm NOT a hooker, but there are guys I've dated that just are NOT very good kissers, at least not to my taste. but they're good at...other things. and that's all I'm gonna say about THAT. #cougarstyle
DeleteAgreed. I'm not a 'kisser', but Mr LePetiteTerror loves kissing. It's not a prerequisite for me and lots of trouble can be accomplished before lips lock.
DeleteRobyn acted so so shocked when Kody just seemed surprised that she wouldn't have another baby without "hiring people," or more help. He's used to wives who will have baby after baby while working full time, homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like she thought she could manipulate him by throwing around the baby card. Doesn't she get that he doesn't give a cap about being a father? Unless they only have sex with the intent to procreate; in which case, she was really letting him know to treat her like the princess she thinks she is or he's cut off from the nookie.
DeleteYes, it is about procreation. They are having kids to populate their planet in the AUB afterlife.
DeleteRobyn better watch out, Kody is just going to replace her. She isn't anything special to him.
DeleteAnonymous at 3:47. You are so right. It's getting very obvious that Robyn is becoming a nuisance for Kody. Soon she'll be on the level of Christine. I think she is starting to get what it feels like.
DeleteThis leaves the door wide open for #5. Even though Robyn has now become another Christine, I'm pretty sure Kody looooved the rush and the physical passion he lived with Robyn. I have a feeling he has never had so much physical pleasure as with her.
Doesn't Robin get that play and work are 2 seperate things... You don't have to have a family business to be a family. And being supportive isn't just about supporting Robin's train wreck of a dream, it means supporting every family members ' dream. Robin is sooo frustrating... I wish Janelle and Christine would get out.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Kody let Meri and Janelle play with his true first wife and life-long love - his hair! (Pssst - Kody! I think she's leaving you!)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha
DeleteRobyn needs to go to school and learn about managing a business.
ReplyDeleteSo true, kms, so true!
DeleteJust a suggestion for Robyn: FIX YOUR WEBSITE!!
ReplyDeleteMSWC still can't handle web traffic on show nights. How many sales are being loss right now?
CJ, I'd say they might be losing up to 3 sales.
Deletemost of the people are just looky loos. IMO.
But I'm sure they have their crackerjack "web management team" (wonder which one of the kids got suckered into that thankless task??) on it.
DeleteDJ, your comments crack me up! I agree that they're not getting many sales anyway. Remember when they first went live with their business and all these people were online looking, but they hardly got any actual sales? Same thing when they went to that expo in St George. People gawk, but they don't buy. They need to let go of this pipe dream and move on.
DeleteAnd yeah, I betcha one of the kids who took a computer tech class is the web manager! Ha!
Was anyone else freaked out about the dining room table "MSWC meeting," where Kody was appalled that Christine should sit where she pleases and not where his highness directs her to sit? That whole scene gave me the creeps. I re-watched it a few times and couldn't believe his vindictive, cardiac event inducing, beady-eyed response to her accidentally sitting in HIS spot.
ReplyDeleteYup- that chair scene was one of Kody's creepier momemts tonight....closely followed by his revelation that a kiss is actually a hormone transfer.
DeleteI get the feeling that that's the real Kody right there. The way he was talking to Meri about the Lehi house was the real him too, he is a jerk. Meri's tears looked genuine and Kody couldn't care less.
DeleteI posted on it down below here, Abreva. I think I was most shocked by Janelle's response. Who the F cares where you sit? Apparently it's a huge big deal and shows who's in charge. It turned my stomach yet I was glad they finally let the real AUB show through.
DeleteThere was some kink of a comment like "Are we in church now" or something like that. I couldn't make it out nor determine who said it. Once the cameras where off, I bet Christine got reamed for her huge transgression.
Kody is a control freak a-hole and Janelle is pathetic. SIT AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE JANELLE!!! Take a walk on the wild side and stop being a doormat.
After Robyn's pronouncement that she can't have another baby unless she gets help, her talking head moment: "I'm like, 'Dude! I just told you I want to have a baby!'" Um, not so much. Never heard those words, at all. Heard quite the opposite, actually. Well, honeychild, your uterus ain't gettin any younger; if you are the supposed to be the K-babe producer, best not draw too many rules. (There are plenty of young and willing wombs just itching to be wife #5).
ReplyDeleteThey will be desperate to keep the show on the air and he will take wife number 5 for the ratings. He'll get a younger one this time with no kidlets of her own. And yes, I agree, Robyn has definitely aged in the face. Probably because life as a Kodette ain't as grand as she'd planned.
DeleteThe meeting with the investors....
ReplyDeleteKody back pedaling...if his lips are moving in this meeting he's spouting lies & half-truths
He was egotistical enough to think that because he's THE Kody Brown, that these people were going to give him free advice about this so-called business?
First of all, he has no clue about the day to day workings of MSWC
No clue how to run a business--apparent by the clueless look on his face when asked if there is a business plan.
And the preview for next week when Kadouche says that Sobbin' is the CFO of MSWC
and Janelle says something like "Then what in the _ _ _ _ have I been doing working on the financials til dark thirty in the morning you clueless SOB" (course that's a bit of reading between the lines ;) )
Janelle-- get out!! He can't get you to heaven and think about it if he could...eternity with these people???
Bottomline, Kody is totally out of his element in Vegas. He needs to go back to Utah. He has no head for business proven by his past failures. I want to know what happened to the "business partner" Robyn handed that big check to in the episode at the Woman's Expo in St. George.
DeleteKody and Robyn are prime candidates for a scammer (...ha! scammers outscammed by smarter scammers!) to take what little money they've got AND that ragtag MSWC.
I'm beginning to think Kody believed if he got the money from the venture investors, he would be allowed to use that money however he wanted with no consequences. Just file bankruptcy and be done with it. He didn't realize the investors would PROTECT their investment, by taking control of the business. My gut feeling is that's the only way MSWC would become successful...if someone outside of the Browns were to take over and run it.
CJ IMO - there is little or no value whatsoever in that website. In fact I'm amazed that "My Sister's Closet" hasn't filed against the Browns. Maybe they aren't aware. I really don't think any legit VC would have anything to do with them. Clearly, they're only there for the exposure.
DeleteIf anything good comes out of this show it will be if Janelle and Christine wake up and get out. What do you bet there would be plyg recovery groups out there willing to help them make the transition? Once they've ridden out the SW TV show gravy train to its conclusion (and a few specials thereafter) there would be no reason to stay. Case in point- Little People Big World.
DeleteWhy can't Kody work? Other than wearing the wrist collar on camera certainly he could clean her house and raise her children or something?
ReplyDeleteHe is too busy laying down on assorted couches, recliners and beds.
DeleteNot sure which thread to post on, so doing both......lol Two places to snark.....love it !!
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good God, THIS was a tedious show in so many ways.
As much as I enjoy this blog and love the snark on people who just begggg to be snarked.......
Not sure I can stomach watching another season of this "PHONEY" show of made-up storylines, ridiculously lame "acting" of the phoney storylines.....and by watching it, contribute ratings to this group of imposters and grubbers.
1-the stupid, stupid set-up for Meri to tell Kody about the college letter.
Oh okay, director tells Meri that she has to look sheepish and uncertain about Kody's reaction while Kody turns on his best rat-eyed concerned look, sporting his Meri-manufactured ugliest hair yet. It was all BS !!!
2-Ditto on the BS for Meri telling Sobbin about college.
Sure......director tells Sobbin she has to go with Meri to her house and look sad and overwhelmed....cuz of course, she doesn't know "why" she has to go to Meri's house as the cameras film them leaving her own house, and then I guess have to wait outside Meri's until the cameras can set up inside to begin "acting" their bit. BS !!! All BS !!!
3- Kody has to "change" his schedule when these frenetic weeks happen because of birthdays and anniversaries. And it is SOOO stressful for him to have to rearrange his schedule !!!
My question is change "what" schedule ?? Work?....nope, since he doesn't work !
Booty call schedule?? Doubtful....Only Brady Williams does that.
SO "what" is so stressful for that idiot ???
Answer.....Nothing !!! Just another made-up bit of BS to fill up the show.
But if it was real (which it wasn't)...... I have a newsflash for Kody and his four she-scammers!!!
Many a birthday and anniversary.... Mr. Amused or me would "have to work" on those family event days. Yep, we had to put *earning a living to pay our bills and feed our kids* in front of party hats and balloons and dinners out. And there was no option to "change our schedule."
4- BS on the Investors to pump and pimp the business. Major BS on this one !!!!
First of all, if investors are wanted you would NOT want your would-be money rescuers to see all your faults and weaknesses via a dumb ass reality show.
Second, if investors were really serious and this all was "for real" they wouldn't be willing to show their faces on such a lame show. This isn't "Shark Tank" for god's sake.
I think the "investors" are in the same vein as Mona and Shawn (and yes, VLL) ...more folks riding the Kodyworld train for some camera time.
5-Could go on with more of their obvious BS....
But I would rather read what BS other folks in the Living Room saw in this episode.
Robyn has said that is wrong with Dayton's eye. She replied to someone on twitter and said he was in an ATV accident and he didn't want it filmed for the show. She said he is doing fine. Mystery is solved. Hope he is doing well.
ReplyDeletehis eye has been swollen since christmas 2012, a year since last night's episode was filmed. i am afraid he may have lost the eye in said accident.
DeleteOMG has it been that long?? That would probably explain the hospital lien on Robyn's house that's in the name of her and her ex as well. Amazing how Kody puts on the Dad Shirt just when it's convenient.
DeleteOMG has it been that long??
DeleteActually the last full face tweeted photo of Dayton was prior to December 2 2012.
That would probably explain the hospital lien on Robyn's house that's in the name of her and her ex as well
No, the medical lien was several years prior to the accident - it was on record but was not attached against her property until a much later date.
Basically all we know is from Robyn's tweet. Dayton did not want his accident to be on the show. Anything else, including possible injuries to other family members will not be open for discussion or speculation.
We know what has happened now, so can we just let it go and move on, please?
Thank you!
On Robyn's twitter she is telling "John" to be quiet that he was digging a deeper hole. Who is she talking about?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Mykelti's boyfriend...when he tried to answer Kody's question which apparently only Kody and Mykelti knew the "correct" answer.
DeleteYah I noticed the tweets too and it took a minute for me to realize the context. It was weird that Kody didn't realize that John's answer was genuine (with good intentions) and he was just nervous - as any boy his age in the position would be. Kody had a disapproving look on his face before John could even finish his answer, which I think made John even more nervous. Poor boy. It seemed Kody wanted a text book answer which Mykelti seemed to know pretty well. Her blank facial response to the nonsense Kody was spewing was also an indication that she had heard all of this before.
DeleteFrom what a friend told me, if you have a child with an official Aspergers diagnosis you can get tax breaks and extra state assistance. If that's true I'm SURE Robyn had Dayton tested and diagnosed.
ReplyDeleteHer check from the show and child support would make that impossible. There is a means test for getting assistance. And aspergers would be a hard test even if the income were low. Once he is 18 and it can be proven that he can't earn an income then her assets and income and that of his dad would no longer matter. It is good for getting extra therapies at school. Don't get me wrong I do believe he has it. His not being able to concentrated for homework surrounding by 20 siblings downstairs when Kody was watching all the kids and his being able to do so upstairs was very telling. Now if Robyn spent like $50K in medical on ABA and speech and such and that is more than 7 or 10% of her income any amount over the 7 or 10% can be deducted. But that is true for any household spending massive cash on healthcare. But I doubt she did a big ticket therapy that is so time consuming with mild autism discovered at an older age. For a younger age maxing out of therapies that are not completely covered it is easy to get over that threshold. So say she spent $5,000 on medical for the whole family and made 30k then she can deduct 2K. A little more depending on the year. The % has changed a few times in the last ten years. Her county may have a program to subsidize special camp or respite activities. But you put your name in and hope they pick you.
DeleteJanelle,
ReplyDeletePlease for the love of all things holy, please, please FIRE the person doing your makeup for the "couch" segments! It's clear to anyone watching that this person does not want you to look in any way attractive. Honestly, you could do a better job yourself!
This episode was, perhaps, the most disturbing sister wives yet. I don't even know where to begin. Kody was always a creepy control-freak, but he's taken it to the next level this season.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't as bothered by his need to sit in a certain chair, but I did find his discussion with Mykelti and her boyfriend to be totally inappropriate and bizarre. Hormones in the mouth???? I was embarrassed just watching the conversation. I can't imagine how mortified poor Mykelti was having her new boyfriend lectured on national television just to satisfy her father's need for a storyline. I certainly hope the kid was paid by TLC for his time. I have no doubt he will suffer serious ribbing from his buddies for that one. Thank you Mariah for pointing out the holes in your father's argument.
And then there was the conversation between Meri and Kody about the Lehi house. Kody's reaction was way over the top and degrading to Meri. Dear Meri - If you are reading this, you were in the right. Kody should have been able to make the decisions you were asking for based on the drawing provided. I could tell what you were talking about from barely a glance through the TV. Your husband is a jerk. It was clear to me that he tries to cover up for his lack of knowledge by getting angry, shutting down, or accusing his wives of doing something wrong. If I were you, I would consult the other homeowner, Janelle, and the two of you can make the decisions together without Kody. She is the realtor, after all, right?
I don't have the stomach to address the hair other than to say that Kody's obsession with his own hair is gross, and I wish he would stop pointing out in every episode that his wives find it sexually attractive and that's why he doesn't cut it off. I think it's safe to say the rest of us respectfully disagree. I need a Mylanta just thinking about it.
And finally, the venture capital meeting. I love this guy. Please show more of him. I loved the whole scene. Watching Kody eat humble pie is a delight...even if Robyn doesn't understand that's what was being served.
Kody seems to have two modes of operation at this point. Immature adolescent boy being parented by 4 mommas and angry fearful insecure small man with a big ego. He is able to flip back and forth with great ease. I'm guessing as the options for making money beyond the show fizzle one by one the fearful angry side of him will come out more and more. I think he wants the venture capitalist (replacement daddy figures) to "rescue" him. Sad indeed. But, then they dug their own pit by not moving back to Utah, adding on space or a mobile home for Robyn and living more within their means.
DeleteKody was so rude to meri. I really hope she is planning to leave after the show is over. She doesn't seem to be at all invested or happy with Kody anymore. I am glad she is 1 wife who will talk back to Grody though, even if it gets her nowhere.
DeleteThe segment about the Lehi house was the most disturbing to me as well. He was so obtuse and degrading. What a jerk.
DeleteLong time lurcker, first time poster. So much was just so....stupid. I'm single and I do some kissing. I don't recall hormones from kissing affecting my man judgement. Heartbreak is part of teenage life. Trust me, I'm light years away from being a teenager. That VC conversation was beyond ridiculous. You don't waste someone's time like that. No business plan still, no financials? Really? I'm no Meri fan, but come on. She has the right to pursue her dream at this point in her life. And don't get me started on Kody's hair. That ponytail was one of the worst things I've seen, and I live in Vegas. I see a lot. They need to cut that baby's hair too. Anyway, happy to join the Jinx club.
ReplyDeleteWelcome!!!
DeleteI'm not sure where to start, this episode had my head on a swivel, Im really curious as to what everyone else thinks....It almost seems like the Browns are going for a "Real Housewives of Las Vegas" kinda vibe??? From the snazzy new intro, complete with cityscape backdrop, to "power" meetings with venture capitalists and delusions of a home furnishings/jewelry/apparel empire...add in all the self-absorbed platitudes about "following their dreams", and I might just lose my lunch. I hate to break it to the Browns, but they are not the next Bethany Frankel.
DeleteRobyn is no Bethenny Frankel, that's for damn sure! She actually worked three jobs while pregnant: RHONY, her own reality show Bethenny's Getting Married and of course, her SkinnyGirl cocktail company.
DeleteI would compare Robyn with Gretchen Rossi, formerly of RHOOC.
I'm not sure this show has much left to offer. I agree that it is trying to be a RH type of show. Just like on the RH, as they stray away from the dynamics of the group and start hawking products and building brands...the show goes downhill.
DeleteThis show is not about being sister wives at all anymore. Their heads are swelled from their "fame".. they are too "glammed out", they cannot stand each other, they seem tired of Kody, and he of them. Their only hope of being a family is if the show ends.
I do think that Kody only finds any real peace with Janelle. He smiles with her. He looks intense with the others ( as someone pointed out..with a "Manson stare"). Meri and Kody are about ready to kill each other. Robyn and Kody are frustrated and on each other's nerves. And with Christine he is just putting in his time until he gets to move on to the next house. They are crashing and burning.
Man, anyone who has this show taped needs to go back and re-watch the scene where Christine sits at the head of the table. They finally show their true colors. It had nothing to do with that being Kody the Kreeps chair, it was all about a woman having the nerve to try and sit at the head of the table. And the woman most adamant about how inappropriate it was? Janelle. When Christine jumps up and freaking apologizes for sitting in that chair, she moves to the only other open chair which is at the other end of the table. Janelle shrieks, "That's the other head of the table!" and Kody moves the chair so that it is on the side. Finally, they showed who they really are. Kody's comment "Oh, are YOU in charge now?!" Who knew that where you sit at a table determines your power? Men are in charge, women should know their place. This religion is all about keeping women in their place. Thank you so much Kody Brown for finally allowing a glimpse of the true AUB.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone who thinks Janelle is strong and independent and the most likely to leave? Nope, she was the number one female letting Christine know just how appropriate her behavior was. In Janelle's own words, "OH WOW!"
My father was the same way with only one wife and Southern Baptist. Men can be controlling jerks no matter the religion or the number of wives they have.
DeleteChristine's unfortunate choice in seating sure brought out Kody's bad side...he was exhibiting some serious territorial behavior over that chair. I really shouldn't be surprised though considering this is the same guy who decided to run around the 4 new house lots so he could mark them with his scent.
DeleteAs many of you know I have expressed my dislike of Meri's attitude problem, BUT I was totally "Team Meri" during the Lehi house discussion. He was so impatient and childlike (in a bad way). He became so upset at something so little, like a child having a tantrum. I can't imagine my husband losing it in regards to a conversation like this. I do have better taste in men than these women do - obviously.
DeleteFor goodness sakes Kody, you're a grown-ass man. If you want something down differently, then articulate and use some diplomacy and tact. Yelling at Meri for something she is trying to be proactive and responsible about is horrible and border line abusive.
When Meri was on the verge of tears, I almost wanted to cry for her. No wonder she fixates on little stupid things like her wet bar. I would too if it got my mind off of my horrible husband. In this family it is dog eat dog and no one is safe from misery. It is a wonderful thing she is going back to school so she can focus her energy on something positive - kind of like Krystin Decker did just before she divorced her husband. Maybe this is a sign of things to come.
Holy Hell. I am ONLY sitting at the head of tables from now on. Mr PetiteTerror grew up adjacent to this lifestyle and in our own home jumps up to give his dad the head of the table seat...I always thought it was a comfort thing because the end seats are bigger, but now I really wonder.
DeleteI do know that I will be making name cards next thanksgiving just to see if Mr PetiteTerror and the FIL try to switch.
Holidays are the perfect time for social experiments, right?
I agree with Abreva Anyone. Kody is horrible to all his wives. He treated Mary terrible in that scene. I think that other than that she seemed a little happier in this episode. It is probably because she is finally doing something for herself in going back to college. I thought that she might be trying to distance herself from the family some what.
DeleteSeveral observations:
ReplyDelete1) Robyn doesn't look very good without make-up. That's when she looks the most stressed and washed out.
2) She was obviously thinking that pulling the baby card was going to get Kody to get all the other wives to drop everything and work on MSWC 24/7 ASAP. She couldn't believe it wasn't that easy.
3) Robyn is really starting to let her true feelings/self out now isn't she?! No longer approaching Kody ever so gently is she?! Plus the way she was talking about her feelings concerning Meri going back to school. Wow! She was even disgusted that Meri would have the gall to pursue any other line of work besides MSWC EVER! So not the picture she wanted to paint to Meri. What she said on camera about the whole thing.. Wow!! Plus, she is even gripping about Kody now. Wow!
Indeed. No honeymoon lasts forever. We all knew that Precious McPurity would grow into that chin eventually.
DeleteI went back for another random gander at MSWC. The site is riddled with grammar errors. Wow--it's just embarassing.
ReplyDeleteThey have this lame little tidbit at the bottom of the page, desperately attempting to help prospective buyers understand the bizarre concept: "Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to have access to all your friend's closets? My Sisterwife's Closet is a store that will feature the very different styles and tastes of us four sisterwives."
1. No. I'm a grownup, and I have my own closet, thanks. 2. When creating a plural possessive, the apostrophe lives at the end of the word, thus, all of my friends' closets. 3. "...us four sisterwives." This description just screams CLASS AND ELEGANCE, doesn't it? It really makes me want to spend $214 on a "gun metal" necklace of a tree. Wait, it doesn't. 4. You make these vacuous claims about the site being representative of the "different styles and tastes" of the sister wives: HOW?? Because Kody designed a tree and a fairy and a heart that says fidelis? MSWC doesn't seem to represent anything but a desperate scramble to part the general public from it's hard-earned cash! Let's get this straight: Now there is ugly, overpriced "jewelry," a couple of watches, a smidgen of music by their pet band, and Janelle's trainer's workout video. WHAT...NO WEIRD APRONS??
Thanks for reminding me why I hated studying English in school. And thank God the future of the world doesn't depend on the proper use of an apostrophe.
DeleteProfessional businesses have someone proofread and correct their writing prior to publishing it. Oh wait....that would take thought and planning and that nasty, nasty four letter word that the Browns hate--work!
DeleteThey don't even have a business plan! Apparently assuming that a business seeking capital would have a business plan and their financial records is playing "hard ball". Asking them to proofread prior to publishing will probably be considered plyg persecution!!
The business is a joke. The future of the world may not depend upon the proper use of an apostrophe, but it speaks volumes about a business.
So true! I would find an online business whose web verbiage is full of grammatical errors to be unprofessional. It would make me less likely to trust them with my money. People do make errors when writing, but businesses must take those extra precautions so that they do come across to the public as polished and professional.
DeleteRedwood, I, like you, am a grammar snob. Many people confuse its and it's. Your sentence should read "to part the general public from its hard earned cash" not "it's" hard earned cash. Not that important just thought you'd want to know.
DeleteThanks for pointing out my bungle, Anon 3:00--not confused or uninformed, just typing in hurry. I actually have a degree in English from Stanford, so yeah, looking at the Brown's website is sort of like getting sand in my hot dog at the beach. :)
DeleteAnon 6:52 - perhaps not the future of the world, but misplaced/misused/missing punctuation HAS been costly in the past. Here's just one example.
Deletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/25/business/worldbusiness/25comma.html?_r=0
"The Comma That Costs 1 Million Dollars (Canadian)"
I could pull other examples as well, dating back to the late 18th/early 19th century.
I've been a professional copyeditor for decades. It's reassuring to know that the work I do is valued! -- Editrix
DeleteThe website does not scream professional by any stretch. Not that it must, but you can easily distinguish the good from the bad based on simple things such as ill-placed apostrophe. Call me a grammar snob, but marketing is where it's at if you want to sell. Grammar is not the site's biggest problem, but it only fuels the argument that this family cannot run an even quasi-successful business on their own.
ReplyDeleteOh, but it might! For instance the sentence, Time to eat , grandma .Or, Time to eat grandma. That comma makes a difference to grandma, l bet.
ReplyDeleteThe lazy, sloppy grammar problems are pretty offensive; with all the grammar checking tools available there is no excuse for them anymore. But it's even more lazy not to change the whole "looking into other people's closets" BS when they offer no clothes on their website at all. Nothing that speaks to any of their "individual styles" at all. Not that they have any (style or individuality). They all dress similarly and poorly.
DeleteI like to cook my family and my pets.
DeleteI guess grammar really could be the end of someone's world....
I like to cook, my family, and my pets.
I was impressed with Dayton in this episode and glad to see some footage of him actually speaking. He has a sweet demeanor and articulates pretty well for a 14 year old! In Robyns defense, you can tell he is a precious spot in her heart. I think anyone who has known someone on the spectrum can attest to how well he seems to be doing.
ReplyDeleteNo, the "future of the world" doesn't depend on grammar (my, how we love hyperbole!) But if part of your livelihood depends on expressing the written word with a level of professionalism, you ought to defer to a proofreader. That's real life in the big bad world of business.
ReplyDeleteAnother verbatim gemmie from MSWC: "This beautiful, unique earrings are truly a work of art. Inspired by the Celtic knot, the swirls in the piece never end and never begin giving it a timeless theme." First sentence just hurts. Second sentence shows that punctuation DOES change meaning: "...and never begin giving it a timeless meaning" = the opposite of the description's intention. That missing comma doesn't care if you like it or not.
A slopped-together website is simply not professional. Kody was worried that selling t-shirts would be déclassé? Pfft. Least of his concerns. (And, BTW: $160 for THOSE EARRINGS?? Delusional!)
But then again, Kody and Co is a slapped-together show.
DeleteWhy would we expect anything different from their website?
What is interesting is that it is likely they have had help setting up their online junk store, which means that the helpers are either rank amateurs, or they are covert non-fans.
this one's even worse:
ReplyDelete'The Irish Claddagh ring is a universal symbol of Love, Loyalty and Friendship. The Claddagh ring has a symbol that is a crown on top of a heart being held by two hands. This piece puts the symbols up front and center as a pendant. The hands are more gentle and are really holding the heart. We used a child’s hands as inspiration while designing this piece. The crown is more feminine and ornate'
i didn't forget a full stop at the end there, there simply isn't one.
i have no earthly idea what any of that is even supposed to mean. 'more' compared to what? their other claddagh design? oh, and one other thing, robyn seems incapable of pronouncing the word 'claddagh', which really bugs me.
Okay, cracking up here. "Used a child's hands as inspiration"? First of all, it's a PENDANT--how does one know by looking at it whether the teeny-weeny hands are based on a kid or an adult? They might just as well say they used a Barbie's hands as inspirations. Second, the hands are cartoonish and the least attractive part of the design, IMO. But the claddagh pendant hands are better than the hand "charm" they sell--yikes, that thing gives me the heebie-jeebies.
ReplyDeleteRemember the joo-lah-ree expo deal they did in St. George? How Robyn needed to provide a long-winded story for every single piece? If you have to explain it in order to sell it, you're already up the crick w/o a paddle. The Browns can be wildly enamored of their concept, but an idea that makes people watch a TV show (while they eat Cheetos and check their email) does NOT make them want to cough up cash for miscellaneous STUFF.
The intermittent shifting of stray goods for sale make MSWC more like a seriously overpriced table at a flea market, late in the day:
"What do you have left?"
"Oh, let's see: uh, got a couple of watches, some CDs from these guys in Utah.
"Never heard of them. Any other music?"
"No, that's it for music. But we do have a workout video my wife used--that's her over there with the sandwich."
"Is that it?"
"Well, my 13-year-old daughter has a bunch of her old jewelry from Claire's in this box (psst--it's a little pricey, but you know how kids are *wink*). I thought we had an apron, too--honey, did you sell that one apron?"
I'm a grammarian, too. I'm waiting for the first episode where one of them, just one of them, can use an adverb correctly or match all their subjects and verbs. I've already abandoned any hope for consistency in their story lines or logic.
ReplyDeleteSobbin' Robyn's purr-ty speech should have been a sign that that's never going to happen ;)
Delete(English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes I make).
Kody did so many horrible things in this episode-the chair incident, the way he treated Meri when they were talking about the Lehi house, and the conversation with Mykelti's boyfriend. But I think the thing that bothered me the most was his statement discrediting Dayton's Asperger's diagnosis. I'm not exactly a Robyn fan, but she has lived with Dayton everyday for the past 14 years, has been through all the tests with him, and has no doubt done countless hours of research to try to figure out how to best help him. When Kody, who has only spent 1-2 days a week with Dayton for the past 4 years, said what he did, I wanted to punch him for Robyn.
ReplyDeleteKody was so over-the-top horrible in this episode, it almost seems like they planned it that way in order to take heat off the wives.
" the thing that bothered me the most was his statement discrediting Dayton's Asperger's diagnosis"
DeleteWasn't that vile? I don't care for Sobbin' Robyn either, but she did her homework and consulted with professionals. He is such a delusional control freak, he probably believes that whatever he says should become truth to his wives. The guy is such an arrogant ass!
I thought it was HORRIBLE when Kody said that Dayton doesn't have asperger's, that he's just quirky! What an insult...
DeleteKody is an idiot. If there's one thing he's proven time and time again, it is that he does not think before he speaks. He probably meant to infer that he does not see Dayton as being intrinsically 'wrong' in any way. But instead of putting that thought into anything resembling eloquence, he just goes... huurrrr durrr Dayton don't have Aspergers, he's just quirky'. Because he also said that he was really close to Dayton and he had more of a connection with him than some of his biological children - which was, again, sort of sweet, but also incredibly hurtful to his other kids.
DeleteKody is a textbook narcissist. He can't praise without hurting. He can't act without undermining. Everything is about him and how it relates to him. He doesn't even understand that his actions hurt other people. (Prime case in point, him getting involved with Robyn's wedding dress and saying so right in front of Christine.)
"No matter what happens to me - my children will always be my crowning achievement. They are so amazing. I am so blessed".
ReplyDeleteWhy does this tweet sound very odd to me??? "No matter what happens to me"????
What? Why not just say "My children are my crowing achievement"
Cynical I am so happy I have found all of you again! I can't believe it took me this long.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Kristy!
DeleteI am so glad I found this blog! Love it! I was flipping thru the channels on Sunday night, and came across Sister Wives....my forst thought was...What is Carrot Top doing on the show? The I realized it was Kody....did he get an eyebrow lift?
ReplyDeleteSo, I made the mistake of checking the Facebook page for Sister wives and many of them seem totally convinced that Janelle is making all of the money. While yes, at one point (back in Lehi, for crissakes!) she did work, right now, NONE of them are working. They're all pretending to work to make it seem like they are struggling. Janelle is doing what the rest of the wives are doing. Sitting on their asses and eating their feelings.
ReplyDelete^^this bugs me, too. Janelle gets tons of credit for just saying things, "I've always been a hard worker," "I've been working to adopt a more healthy lifestyle," blah blah. Her only job is the show and her lifestyle must be about the same as she hasn't lost much weight." The whole family seems to have an "Emperor's New Clothes" effect on their fans, especially Janelle.
ReplyDeleteOk, I admit it. I'm a banking nerd. It's what I do for living. I cannot wait to see that VC meeting. I hope Robyn writes the business plan and I hope they show the actual SWC profit and loss statement. Since I'm dreaming a little, but I hope they show the Brown's personal cash flow. Maybe we will finally see how they actually make their house payments.
ReplyDeleteOff Topic : CJ, does the blogger who did th CP family trees come on here? Ann UK
ReplyDeleteIs this season not available On Demand? I missed it and now, I cannot find it through Comcast. Does anyone else have it available On Demand? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just checked and I have it on Cox On Demand. So sorry....
DeleteThanks, Cynical Jinx, for posting the links to the articles on the AUB and Kody's sister, Christy. I went back to the Browns' book and checked--it was Christy Brown who introduced Meri to Kody. Apparently Christy and Meri attended some kind of young women's group together and that was how they met. Curiouser and curiouser!
ReplyDeleteJanelle has been canonized as being an accounting whiz, the most prolific breadwinner back during the Lehi days, the silent, patient victim as Meri's early verbal punching bag, the consistent non pot-stirring wife, the ever ardent supporter of Kody-idiot, and wonder of wonders....the "brains" of the family.
ReplyDeleteTruth is Janelle did have "a job" back in Lehi. She wasn't a CEO, even in training, she wasn't even in middle management. She worked for the county/state at a desk job as a bean counter. Respectable but hardly worth the kudos she is awarded for being employed and being the family's savior.
More importantly, and by her own admission, she worked *by choice* because she found staying home with her kids (6 of them) more than she was able to handle willingly or effectively. So having Christine ride herd on her kids daily was a perfect fit.
Nothing heroic or noble here, it was expedient for Janelle.
Janelle has also made some bizarre choices in life, none of which suggest having "brains."
Her silent suffering seems more about being too disconnected and ambivalent to care to engage or comment on family issues when the cameras are rolling. Janelle is a one note pony, by choice.
To be fair, she is no better nor worse than the rest of them.
However she is not "poor Janelle".who should run.
She never was, or else she would have by now.
She has had over 20 years to run, and it isn't going to happen, ever.
Her "job" like the rest of them, is to milk this trainwreck for all they can, and for as long as they can. And then they will find a new scam.
THANK YOU AMUSED. you put it so succinctly and it's totally true.
DeleteI completely agree with you Amused. You know I have always been a big supporter of Janelle. But I half to say as of late I just am not seeing any redeemable qualities about her anymore. Basically everthing you said is true. When it comes to Kody she is his biggest fan. She supports him 100%. All his idiotic ideas. I think mabe she doesn't stick out as much as the other three with the whining and crying, and the poor pitiful me. I believe that's why the others are noticed a lot more for their bad behavior. I also find it odd that Christine had no problem raising Janelles kids, but relies on Aspyn and Mykelti to raise her own. Also on the new season to me Kody seems out of control. Like someone who doesn't feel like they have control over their life and makes up for it by trying to control bits and pieces of everyday life just to feel some sort of calm throught the day. He seems like he is going to crash. Just my opinion though. Which is odd because he seemed to manage things better in Utah working full time than he does now.
ReplyDelete"I also find it odd that Christine had no problem raising Janelles kids, but relies on Aspyn and Mykelti to raise her own."
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point, Texasgirl1 !!
Could be that spending days/weeks/years having babies and toddlers of her own while being responsible for six others, took its toll on Christine.
She may have bottomed out into the hollow, neurotic mess that she is now.
