Hi Everybody! Just a quick FYI.
Once the blog posting reaches about 200 comments, new comments will go to the next page. When you scroll all the way down to the end of the comments, you should see the words "Loading" or "Load more...". Just click on the words until they disappear! You should then see all the comments loaded.
Yeah Everybody, I'm Baaack and my living room is open for your discussions starting right now!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back CJ!! I'm so glad to see you posting again!
DeleteI went ahead and started a blog in case you weren't able to tonight, and if it's okay, I'd love to share the link for the "catch up" post in case anyone wanted to see some of their social media from the last couple of months . . . but otherwise, I'll deactivate the blog, because who needs a knock off, when we can enjoy the real thing here! ;) <3
If not okay, please feel free to delete CJ!
Delete(I promise it's not for self promotion, just playing catch up with the Browns ;) )
http://sisterwivestlc.blogspot.com/2018/01/catching-up-before-premiere.html
Thanks Fun Undies for putting together those pictures! Enjoyed looking at them.
DeleteNo problem @Fun Undies !!! There's room in this universe for both of us!!!
DeleteHaha, thanks CJ!
DeleteAnd glad somebody enjoyed them, Big Sky ;) <3
WhooooHooooo! CJ is back!
DeleteWill you be covering the new tlc series, seeking sister wife? Starting next week?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that Amazon Video will offer this new series, so yes, let's discuss, but I'll be a few days behind y'all, fyi...
DeleteYAY!!!! I missed you, CJ, and this living room of friends!
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with Kody's hair?!?!
Hey TallGirl!!!
DeleteOh my, Kody's hair is looking soooo ragged these days. Let's hope he got a perm or at least a haircut. Lord knows, he's had enough time to between seasons to TOTALLY change his look!
Did you see that Meri opened a B&B in Utah?? Dun, dun, duuuuuuunnnnnn....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sltrib.com/news/polygamy/2018/01/07/one-of-the-sister-wives-opens-a-utah-bed-and-breakfast-despite-family-being-seen-as-felons/
Makes you wonder who's living where now?
Bwahahaha!!! I wonder if Kody and his legal wifey visit Lizzie's Inn?
DeleteProbably. And they probably expect to get the honeymoon suite comped to them, cuz "faaaaaaaammmmmileeeeee"
DeleteFor some reason I can see Meri telling Kody and his legal wife to stuff their request for a comped stay where the sun don't shine! Of course that would be off camera 'cuz she needs to keep up the pretense that all is hunky dory in the #coldesac.
DeleteYeah you're back!!!!!!! Can't wait for tonight's episode. Hope you are well Jinx!
ReplyDeleteSO nice to see you back, CJ !!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...let's do what we do best....SNARKING !!!
And do the snark that has seriously and legitimately contributed to Kody and Kodettes even staying on the air !!!
Adding....
ReplyDeleteKody looks like a derelict trolling the back streets of Vegas!
With four wives to critique his appearance, has not one of them (or any of his older daughters) had the sense to tell him to "clean up"....????
Is he really still stuck in his now 8 year old, completely passe', over and done surfer dude look??? Wow, he is now an aging fossil from a decade ago.
Hi, All. Good to see Meri has a business venture with the B&B...sure beats just sitting around. Will be surprised, however, if Kody and Meri ever get back together beyond casual communication. Thanks for returning, CJ!
ReplyDeleteI think Meri's B&B is her out. I think she will be back in Utah once the show is over. That's where her entire family, including Mariah, is. I see it now.
ReplyDeleteThis episode is not doing Tony any favors.
Either Robyn is pregnant again, or she has been hitting seconds and thirds on the desserts. How many kids will she have to have before she can retire that bus route?
ReplyDeleteOMG.......NOTHING has changed, evolved.......nothing !!
ReplyDeleteJust caught the bit where Meri tells Sobbin and Mariah about her B&B farce.
Back in full bloom is Meri talking in that halting, ridiculous voice......clenching her jaw every 4th word a like a 6 yr old. Then there’s Sobbin with her solemn, forever furrowed brow and downcast eyes doling out her pearls of wisdom.
How could their 1st ep of the season be SO boring.....
so predictable.....so mind-numbing .......ALREADY!??
(Changing to my Pollyanna voice) Golly gee, I'm just know the next episode will be soooo much more fun!
Delete(Changing back to my cynical voice) Sounds like this show has seen better days...like that episode when all that Brown stuff spewed out of the RV hose directly onto Kody's shoes. That's what SW needs, more spewing Brown stuff! Bwahahahahaha!!!
Agreed, while suffering through it I kept thinking, no kidding, "Please let Jinx be back. Please let Jinx be back." Because the show is still just painful to watch. Last season I skipped the actual episodes and just came here for recaps and to shake my head with the rest of you.
DeleteI'm beyond thrilled that CJ's living room is open and to read all the comments. I missed everyone!
DeleteDuring this scene, I looked up at my TV and wondered who sounded dumber and who actually is dumber - Robyn or Meri. Hearing Meri's speech pattern and Robyn's coaching her for the big family discussion was painful. This show really kills brain cells.
Robin’s real concern is “how often will you not be here to help ME out?? How can you work in another town?”
ReplyDeleteMykelti asking the pawn shop guy to marry her and not Kody is EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteHe did twitch a bit at the announcement.
DeleteAgreed. It made the show for me! The look on his face - priceless. Remembering back to what a huge deal he made out of officiating Madison's wedding....the "knighting" of her husband at the altar....unable to help in any wedding preparations because he was furiously overworking his brain to come up with the babble he would spew....operating as the center of attention during the ceremony and missing the point that the wedding was about the couple not him---no, I don't think he is going to get over this quickly. I think he mentally just reduced the guest list by 100!!
DeleteSo on the money, Big Sky!
DeleteMykelti has been described as being very similar in personality to Kody (by Christine). Takes one to know one, to usurp one, etc. Well done, Mykelti!
Welcome back CJ! We have missed you but you deserved your time off.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much Meri is charging by the hour oops per night for her B&B. Anything to get away from Koduash and his dreadlocks I guess.
Speaking of Meri, and why don't we? I'm not sure if I've seen anything about the LulaRoe lawsuits mentioned anywhere.

Happy Reading!
I actually looked up her rates- $125-155 depending on the room.
DeleteNot that bad. I'm actually really surprised she didn't overestimate the pull of her "celebrity" and charge more.
Judging from the preview clips for this season......Maddie did indeed sell her labor and probably delivery too for the TLC dollars. Was so hoping she would resist that. I guess that Brown grab -the- bucks gene just cannot be ignored. Too bad!
ReplyDeleteDoes TLC really think that another TV Kodyworld birth.....one filmed wayyyy last year.....is a ratings winner?
Mariah too has apparently joined the Brown gravy train with her girlfriend. Ca—Ching $$$$
Whose next? Logan?
Only real laugh was when Sobbin must now be the Idiot’s mommy telling him that his wrinkled too tight shirt is showing his belly on camera. THAT was pathetic but deserved a snort !
Logan and his gf said on social media their wedding won’t be on TV. Guess the gravy train ran out of steam!
DeleteWell, I think of Maddie's sellout like this: She had to finance her onboarding with LLR somehow, right?
DeleteHmm......good point! ( btw......Is LLR still a hot trend?)
DeleteBut still a shame to sell what should be an intimate life experience.
I am so very impressed with Logan and Michelle for their intention to NOT film their wedding for the show.
DeleteA classy gentleman, indeed!
Logan always was clear headed and ten years more mature than his dad. I think he takes after mom more. As oldest he also realizes his siblings need things too. His college was probably more a sure thing than what will he left when it’s truely’s turn. He finished school and honestly adults who are in the work force after school tend to have their own wedding, pay for it and hopefully the gifts and being frugal means no debt at the end of it.
DeleteThese two are ridiculous with their wedding wants. And please, I’m Catholic and have been to many weddings. Have never rolled up to any wedding reception with a six pack in hand. This isn’t a backyard barbecue.
ReplyDeleteHoo boy. Another hobby business.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't even get me started about the 400 person country club taco-feed with flaming ballons and full sized pinata beatings.
All because "consultants" say a B&B in the middle of nowhere is a good idea and what's her name "seems" like a good wedding planner.
The years go by and the breathtaking foolishness never disappoints. And what's left of Kody's hair never changes.
Told my husband I didn't think I could do this anymore without CJ and the snarkers. And here you all are! Thanks!
We've come this far...
Exactly. Must. Carry. On. No way I could watch another season without all of you xxx
Delete{{{Hugs}}} !!!
DeleteNot even watching.
DeleteThe company's good here, though.
I didn't catch the show unfortunately, but I did see the new article with lots of good photos of Meri's B&B. Huge renovation, decorated country/shabby chic style with family keepsakes of Meri's. I see this as a positive move forward for her and plans for the future beyond the show. Good for her, she is the only one getting it together.
ReplyDeleteI read the article and while other readers also commented about this "renovation" Meri performed on the house---she actually used the word "redecorated." All the archived pictures of the Inn under the former owner look almost identical to the pictures Meri has posted on her new website for the Inn. Except for changing around some furniture, nothing has been renovated. Carpets, wallpaper, etc. all the same. Same kitchen and same bathrooms. Meri is even using some of the bedding and decor items from the previous owners. It does not appear she spent any money on renovating. Probably didn't line up with Kody's business plan!!
DeleteFor anyone curious; I found the deed for the sale of the house on the Iron County Utah Assessor's online site. Meri purchased the house on 10/16/17. She paid 346,500.00 and took out a 30 year mortgage. The most interesting detail - the deed is in Meri's name ONLY. No family trust, etc. I don't really buy the whole "must get permission" from the family. Even that whole storyline with Annie running it for her (getting Christine on board because her mom would be part of it) turned out to be another fake storyline. Meri has recently stated that her own mother has sold her home in Lehi and will be the one running it. As usual, the plot thickens!!
"As usual, the plot thickens!!"
DeleteYep, Big Sky....as usual....!!
Or there has always been 2 pots....one for the cameras and sycophants, and one simmering with their usual, sad, messed up world.
And good to see Janelle has not changed her couch chat MO of twiddling her fingers and looking clueless. Wonder if the producers realize that by always putting Janelle in that outer spot, she is positioned to be looking directly at Meri seated on the other corner. Is that the plan?
No wonder Janelle stares more at her shoes than anywhere else.
I read the description and it says they have antique 4 poster beds. I see one bed, with short posts that could maybe qualify but even then I think people think of tall posts when you say that.
DeleteHow in the world does Meri qualify for a 2nd home loan? She must make pretty good money somewhere.
DeleteThe B and B would be a business. So income might be considered. I’m glad she could buy it and didn’t need permission She should be the legal wife, David should still be the kids father without Kody being step dad. I hate that they did that. The should have been in Keri with Robyn in the bonus room in the basement converting into a three bedroom with tiny kitchen. Or Meri could be in the bonus basement space and Robyn take her unit with wood burning stove. They were real and likeable. Obviously the family doesn’t fear Utah anymore.
Deleteok. How many clues does this family need??? Merri wants out!!! She doesn’t feel loved or needed in the compound anymore! Robyn is still clueless and selfish. She makes everything about her and still can’t get it through her thick skull that Meri pulled away when Janelle was pregnant because *gasp* she was jealous you were having a baby with her husband!! Also, this Tony character is quite the famewhore! Kody has some serious competition. Do you see how all the women swoon and laugh at everything he says? I will not be surprised if he changes his mind and decides he wants more attention/wives in a few years.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, it will be no surprise.
DeleteHe ABSOLUTELY will decide to become a polygamist. He is too much like Kody. And his "refusals" to Mykelti that he is, indeed, not interested have always seemed very suspect to me. He frequently looks down or off to the side when he says he doesn't want to be in polygamy. Since day one I have been suspicious of that guy. I feel bad for Mykelti.
DeleteIf Tony has dreams of being a harem master he had better realize that the one thing, and arguably the ONLY thing, Kody had going for him when he was Tony’s age as he convinced his first wife, Meri, to allow him to have another bedmate was passable looks and what must have been reasonable charm. Tony has neither.
DeleteTony doesnt think the wedding will cost much. These kids have their unrealistic heads up their a**es. I just want to smack some of these people.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I am still shaking my head about this this morning. If I were Kody and Christine (God forbid) I would've set some limits right then and there as a "precedent" for all future Brown daughters. We give you "X" amount to put towards your wedding. That's it, that's all you get and the rest is on you to pay for and plan! That would have set those entitled kids straight!
DeleteCJ, are you going to also open up your living room for the new TLC show "Seeking Sister Wife"? I know in the past we've covered other polygamy shows with you and I would love to have your living room open for this new show as well!
ReplyDeleteooh yes please. I am curious.
DeleteThe 400 to five hundred people they kept repeating was like constantly hearing about the "homes". I saw pictures of the wedding online and it looked like no more than 100 to 150 were present. In there quest to sound like a big deal with 4000 tacos and 500 hundred people they came off as idiots, which they probably are
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Mykelti may be smarting over Maddie's wedding. Yep. Sibling rivalry being played out on a reality show for ratings. And yes, I think Mykelti is jealous of her sister from a different mother.
DeleteI'm watching the episode from last night now. I don't know why I keep watching this show... it's like a train wreck. This episode is really boring. Mykelti has a lot of self-confidence but no charisma when she's talking to the camera (although she is more sparkly when she's laughing with her moms and sisters). Ten tacos per person?? No wonder they are all so doughy. Cody puts on a show of being annoyed at their 400 guest list but doesn't actually put his foot down with a budget. Christine is back to her trick of shouting in the talking heads when Cody isn't listening to her. Really not cute. Argh, I need to stop wasting my time on these people.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Meri borrowed money from the others to make the purchase? There might be some sort of contractual financial arrangement among the Browns, albeit with only Meri on the deed.
ReplyDeleteMrSpock found the whole Mykelti/Tony wedding demands thing off-putting. Agree with whomever suggested that Kody and "wives" draw some lines in the sand re. amount to be spent per child on wedding extravaganzas. But, again, it was Kody's idea to have 18 children...now he is paying the piper...and the wedding coordinators, and the florists, and the pinata makers, etc. etc.
Cannot see Kody and Meri being a true couple again. But, not seeing any "spark" between Kody/Janelle, Kody/Christine, Kody/Robyn either. However, who knows what goes on behind closed doors.
Would love to be a fly on the wall to know what Tony's family really thinks about the Browns and the lasagna dinner.
Christine---please take it down a notch! Yikes, so loud!!! Finally had to turn down the TV volume when she kept practically screaming during the dinner preparations and the dinner. It must drive her family cuckoo.
The wedding organizer at the location the picked is going to be wife number 5
ReplyDeleteYes,yes...lmao...good one Milo
Deleteaccording to the website for thr b and b, meri is running it with her mother, not christines. why did they drag christines mother into this??? for a story?? meri's mom is in the ribbon cutting pictures, not christines hiw "weird"
ReplyDelete@ Milo & Mr. Spock; I firmly believe that Meri's mom conveniently "selling her home in Lehi to come run the Inn" (according to a quote from Meri in the Salt Lake Tribune about the B & B) is more than just a coincidence with regards to the purchase/financing of this home. I would make a bet that Meri's mom who is suddenly running it instead of Annie is also behind the financing of it. I firmly believe that is why only Meri's family (and Kody) showed up at the ribbon cutting ceremony and why her mom was so prominently there at the ceremony.
DeleteHey Big Sky, you beat me to it! I totally agree with you. Remember, when Meri's mother sold her home, sister Rebekah was displaced (once again) and now temporarily lives in a cave home at the Rock in Moab. I have a feeling that Rebekah will be living at the Inn during the off season. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Meri's mother financed part of this venture. Of course this is all conjecture on my part, but it makes sense!
DeleteI read the SLT article about the B&B as well and was surprised to see Annie on the show because I thought it was Meri's mom who was involved.
DeleteThe usual baloney, bull, balderdash and blah blah blah...But my off topic query to you all is about Annnie's cute but not "modest" sleeveless dress.
She quit the AUB (I think) But did she quit the Mormon thing altogether?
Also, do AUBs NOT wear sacred undies?
I mean that was Kody's actual gut bursting through his shirt, right?
I need answers:)
Is the B&B Meri’s ticket out of the compound and harem?
ReplyDeleteUltimately her new home? Especially if her mother is a silent co-owner and resident?
Will the spin/Brown BS be that Meri needs to spend more and more time there .....with “will she or won’t she leave to live there” as this seasons’ ending cliffhanger?
Meanwhile, her house in Kodyworld could become a residence for any 2nd generation Browns who want to continue being part of the TLC stable of reality stars.
For that matter, Meri and her mom and aunt could get a spin-off. With the Browns, the possibilities to turn a buck are endless.
To be truthful, I'd rather watch a "reality" show about Meri and her Lizzie's Inn adventures than another minute of Kody and his current legal Mrs, Robyn. Rest assured, when it's time for Robyn's daughters to get married, Kody will NOT complain about costs. Robyn won't allow him!!!
DeleteHa! You are so right! Sobbin will make sure of that !
DeleteThe vibe between Kodyboy and the reigning Mrs kodyboy clearly suggests that he may be put in timeouts if he disobeys. Who knew that Sobbin the Sweet and Fragile has a darrrk side.
What about aspen hunter garrison david..
DeleteI couldn't wrap my head around no one saying no to this ridiculous "invite 500 people and assume 400 will come." thing. yea I am sure lots of peopel skip the televised wedding. Then every time Tony and Mykelti were on screen with their oblivious "This won't cost much! We're going to SAVE money with this wedding." Even if you make things by hand you still have to buy the stuff to do it and 400 of anything is not cheap. 400 wedding favors anyone? They just became less and less likable with every entitled remark said with blank faces that didn't seem to register what they were asking. Yea I was annoyed with Kody and the Kodettes last season when they all made bad faces regarding another one of their children daring to get married so close to the first wedding but I wasn't aware this one had no concept of money. I know the kids have been very off limits but if you are an adult selling out your bad choices you become fair game.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Christine try to convince herself she likes Tony was pretty great. "I love that boy!" *eye twitch*
Then they were going to save money with the domestic violence pinatas. Adorable. My husband was like "Thats like 20 lbs of candy that could kill someone flying around." I had to explain to him that life size pinatas of 2 adults is going to be way more than 20 lbs of candy.
The only part about the episode I DID like was Meri having a different place to go. If Kody isn't interested in having a real partnership with her then let her go dude! Every time he spat out the word "nostalgia" I remembered more and more why I didn't like him.
I am pretty sad Madi was convinced to sell her birth to TLC in previews for the rest of the season.
Also my husband went on and on about how think Christine is now and asked multiple times if she got plastic surgery. "Look they set her next to Robyn because they're both so skinny and now she is thinner than Robyn." I didn't even notice haha.
I often wonder if Robyn regrets all those smug earlier comments she made years ago when she first came on the show. The comments about how Kody really prefers "big women" and she would never fit his type (aka the other blonde, heavy wives) because she was so much taller and thinner. Robyn of the long legs. She also said that she couldn't gain weight if she tried as her metabolism wouldn't allow it.
DeleteI'm guessing this show is not doing so well this season, given that there are only 55 comments by now on this page and in previous seasons it was already 200+ comments. People just don't care and have moved on!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see you back CJ!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin?! I guess the obvious… I cannot stand Tony. His family seems so nice, where the heck did they go wrong? Every word that comes out of his mouth makes me scowl with anger. For a moment I actually felt bad for Kody that he has to now be related to this a**hole. Then I got my wits about me and realized that he deserves it LOL Mykelti is just as bad. She is such an idiot for thinking 400 people would actually show up to her wedding. In the aerial preview of their wedding you can see that not even half that we’re probably in attendance. When they asked the pawnshop guy if he would officiate their wedding I totally got the vibe that he didn’t really want to do it but he’s too nice of a guy to say no. I don’t really think he supports their union because to anyone with half a brain cell you can clearly see these two are definitely not ready for marriage. Tony lacks character and Mykelti is so childish. They both have a lot of growth that needs to happen. I did love Christine’s comparison/jab at Kody of how Tony and Kody are similar with planning events. I think Kody needs the wake up call (FINALLY) for how obnoxious it is when someone dominates conversation with stupid commentary the way he notoriously does. Maybe a little self reflection will happen now on the part of Kody. Ha! Who am I kidding?
Moving on, I I am all for the B&B that Meri wants to start. She’s not the type to work hard so the fact that Christine‘s mom is willing to help is perfect. It gives Meri just enough excuse to escape without the responsibility of day-to-day business ownership. Plus I think it really will give her purpose. I kind of feel happy for her. I support anything that gets any of these women far far far away from Kody as possible. As always though it will end up costing the family money that they don’t have.
Can we talk about the fact that Mykelti’s wedding was in December 2016?! And this episode is just now being aired literally over a year later. I guess that’s how boring this family is, as it took them a whole year to find enough material to actually put out to the public.
As for Logan‘s wedding not being filmed for television, I totally support that they are not being fame whores. At the same time he’s one of the few family members I don’t despise seeing on TV so that’s a double edge sword.
Kodys hair is worse than ever. It looks worse than a dirty wet mop.
One last thing: Robyn mentioned that her baby doesn’t like being in the car seat. I can actually relate to this. My little one didn’t like being in the car seat until she was able to face forward. So I could actually relate to her a little bit and feel her pain.
i dont think christines mom has anything to do with the b and b. why they used her i have no idea. meris mom is in pictures
ReplyDelete"why they used her i have no idea."
DeleteYes, why indeed...unless to simply add faux drama to the opening episode to entice the online chatter and beef up the ratings, like they do and have done with most every story line.
I have a feeling Christine's mother Annie is there "just for the show." The whole "reality" show vibe reminds me so much of Tori and Dean's first reality show about "running" a B&B in California. It was all fake of course, except with Meri, she did buy the Inn. So we will most likely see a scene or 2 of "guests" (straight from Central Casting) descending on the Inn and being filmed. But mark my words, as soon as filming is over, Annie goes back to Vegas and a relative of Meri's takes over as caretaker. JMHO of course!
DeleteMeh benefit of the doubt in that sometimes you plan something early on one way and things change. It's possible when Meri's mother found out she threw a fit that this "in the family" house that her mom (assuming here) grew up in was offered to Christine's mom first. I don't know if Meri's mom is like that but jealousy seems like a major theme in these families so I could see this being the reason Annie eventually gets the boot.
DeleteThey talk about sharing things. Like how Tony gets 4 mother in laws...but I think they all know it's Christine who got stuck with the "Gimme gimme" dud. This is like that in reverse. Perks go to the bio first.
or..because Christines mom would get and story line and camera time and therefore a paycheck. Meri's mom looked like she had lost a lot of weight and didnt look well in the opening of the b and b pictures.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding like a total perv, Mykelti and Tony strike me as the poster children for premarital sex (not for me; for them). They're rushing into married life because they're having a chaste courtship. Kody said as much last season, when Mykelti and Tony first broached the subject with the parents. The kids would be better off living together or just being "friends with benefits" and getting to know each other in every way before committing themselves to marriage. Young love starts quickly and burns hot, but doesn't always endure. Getting out of a young marriage is just as uncomfortable, inconvenient, and expensive as any other kind of divorce, and if the couple has children, that's a layer of complexity that I'm not sure the future Mr. and Mrs. Padron can handle with any kind of maturity. "Common sense" isn't common for those younglings any more than it's common for Kody and the wives.
ReplyDeleteTony's family seem like lovely people; clearly, they love their son and want him to be happy. Life-sized bride and groom pinatas? According to my Chicano spouse, "No bueno. Pinatas are for children. Children should not be getting married. If they want pinatas, they're not ready for the altar". Similarly, I asked him if it really is common for guests to BYOB to a Mexican wedding reception. His reply, "only if they want to get the caca slapped out of them by the Tias (aunties). If my brothers or I had ever done anything like that, my Mamita (grandmother) would still be kicking our a$$es, and she died 30 years ago"!
I'm glad that Meri has the B & B, although I really don't see her as willing to do the hard work it takes to make that type of business successful. Additionally, though the mayor of Parowan says there's a need for guest accommodations in the town, I honestly can't see outdoorspeople wanting to drive two hours each way between the recreational facilities and their lodging. Still, if she can use this as her means of escape from the rest of the family, I say more power to her. Since she is legally single, none of the other Brown adults has a right to share in the profits or honor the losses that business might experience. Having only her name on the deed is a sound strategy for all concerned. Even if the family did help her finance the purchase out of intermingled family funds, all the revenues and profit are hers, unless she's signed a promissory note or some other kind of document that requires her to pay back whatever she received from the family. In theory, Meri and Mom could close the B & B at any time, get "real 9 to 5 jobs", live in that house, and tell Kody and the rest of the brood to go pound sand. There would be room enough for family and friends to visit, and Meri would be out from under the Brown thumb.
Wassup with Kody's hair? I remember my mother saying to me as a child of eight or nine, "if you want to wear your hair long, you had better keep it neat. If you can't, you'll have to get it cut". Doesn't he own a bottle of shampoo and a hairbrush? It looks as if he's got a bird's nest on his head. #badweave!
Note to Robyn: I know Kody sees you as the wife with all of the emotional intelligence, and that being the only legal wife gives you a certain bona fides. But could you please STOP telling the other wives how to talk to Kody? Meri, Janelle, Christine, and 13 of the children have known Kody far longer than you have. If you could really "read" Kody, you would have cut and run when he started talking about marriage. Your unsolicited advice doesn't make you appear wise or helpful--it makes you look like a b!tch.
Mic. Drop.
I didn't watch the episode, but I read and loved this comment.
DeleteThe comments by your Chicano spouse are funny and insightful!
Didn't Madison have an open bar at her reception? Why no booze at this one?
@Back in Black, Tony said that because he converted from catholicism to mormon (I think he said when he was 17?) he doesn't drink and he wants to respect his religion and have a "dry" reception. However, his entire family are still practicing Catholics and he claimed he is fearful they will bring their own "six-packs" to the wedding. He actually said that was a thing in his family. To bring your own six packs to parties. He is too immature to know the difference between a party and a wedding reception.
DeleteBack in Black, because you have made the wise decision to not watch, you missed this little gem. Let me treat you to one of the stupidest things Tony said in the episode. They were touring venues for the wedding and while checking out the size of the women's bathroom to see if several people could fit into it at once---several of the Browns crammed into the ladies restroom, including Tony---and he loudly asked if anyone "needed a tampon." Really. He did. That kid is the worst.
Kody really, really needs a good haircut and some deep conditioning.
DeleteAs we say in my neck of the woods - Tony, bless his heart, has no idea that he is coming off as such a dumbass.
Big Sky
DeleteThanks for that little gem; that's worse than Kody saying "panties"!
I started off last season not watching, but then peeked in on a couple of episodes 'on Demand' when the season ended.
I was there at the very beginning (like many of you), and over time the weird power dynamic became too much of a turn-off.
So, who will live at Meri's house? Not Meri. Good thing she argued for that wet bar.
ReplyDeleteAlso, who needs Kodi's expertise when it concerns business decisions? He has to okay a business plan? Has he EVER been successful at anything?
I assume the majority of the wedding was comped. And photos sold etc. No way they were able to pay for everything. 400 people at a country club venue is a ridiculous number for this young couple. I'm sure the parents go along with this nonsense because they are not paying AND they need a story-line. It's so stupid and I can't stop watching these people :)
"It's so stupid and I can't stop watching these people :)"
DeleteThat describes all the viewers--myself included!!
He has to okay a business plan? Has he EVER been successful at anything?
DeleteWell, he did sire 15 kids so he knows how to do that well. But I doubt Kody the Hairhead would recognize a business plan if it bit him on his buns of steel.
Ridiculous is leaving Lehi and buying fire 400K 4,000 square foot homes and no typical job among the four of them. Why would a wedding be different. Especially when sister by another mother just had one had quite frankly all the Brown kids are way older than the parents when they started getting hitched and this should have been planned for years how to go about paying for it. You sit down with the kids before going anywhere and say what you are giving. They were like this with college. No clear plan. No I’ll pay 5K a year per kid, loan the rest. Or I will pay community college for two years and you pay the rest. No I’ll pay state school amount and if you go private you get a loan or grant or scholarship for the difference. This isn’t the first to marry. They are not marrying polygamists. This is not the first wedding.
DeleteCaptivagrl...Who will live in Meri's house?
Delete#5
Aside from TLC checks, how do they pay bills? Just wondering if they show up to store openings, or promote products? I just moved to Vegas, and I would love to see them in person. I assume the vibe would be really strange and their interactions would seam forced.
ReplyDeleteYou can find them at any bakery that offer free taste testing. It seems to be a reoccurring theme every season, two three time a season.
DeleteI think Tony is just playing the role given to him but if he isn't then bless his heart, as they say in my neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteWe might be in the same neck of the woods!
DeleteIf hating isn’t playing a role, he is the most odious young man I’ve seen on TV in a long time. The Brown kids are actually quite nice (especially Aspyn, Logan, Hunter). Tony is obnoxious, entitled, disrespectful and immature. He’s also quite controlling, which would worry me if I was Mykelti’s mom. I really hope it’s all an act.
DeleteSo let me get this Meri needs Robyn’s permission to do the bed and breakfast, new first wife.. So Robyn is explaining to Meri how Kody responds to things, wth? She is so disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteExample to the catholic family?
ReplyDeleteMore of the Brown cihldren have been denied baptism in the LDS Church. WTH? Stop knocking on doors.
ReplyDeleteIf you don’t want hundreds at a wedding don’t be polygamist. Honestly didn’t they just invite a mess of people for a sommittment ceremony in addition to having 4 weddings amongst themselves. Kody meri, Kody jenelle, kody, Christine kody Robyn? The male polygamist is going on about too much wedding? Ironic.
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble getting past the taco issue. TEN per person? Even if they are half the size of American restaurant tacos that would be five servings each. When we go out for Mexican, we have two each. I wonder how many were left over after the wedding. Issue number two - and I am not trying to be prejudiced towards homeless people - but Kody's hairstyle looks so frizzy and unkempt that he looks homeless. His tummy sticking out of the shirt in the scene where Meri presented her B&B idea was pretty gross also. If you know a scene is being filmed for tv, wouldn't you try to fix your hair and wear clothes that fit?
ReplyDeleteNew nickname for the newest in-law...
Delete10 taco Tony
What is happening with My SisterWife’s Closet? Is that still in existence?
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly enough, MSWC is still in business...In fact, MSWC even ran a season premiere sale (but not for new product). Funny how it took those brainiacs 5 years to take advantage of their reality show celebrity status and tie the show into the MSWC website
Delete1. Kody's HAIR? Maybe a dab of cream rinse would help.
ReplyDelete2. Tony's and Mykelti's sense of ENTITLEMENT? I think the family would have been better off to have listened to them in the first place and reserved a group campsite in one of the lovely state parks in the area.
3. Janelle is nearly as large as ever. It makes me sad.
4. Mariah's coming out didn't do anything to improve her spoiled and unpleasant personality.
5. Meri should rent out the BONUS ROOM to pay for the new B&B.
Meri lost al money and security. Now Robyn is clearly her authority.
DeleteYes, SK, Janelle is as big as ever, l constantly hear or see articles on her amazing weight loss and every time they go missing I look forward to viewing the new season to see her new figure. I'm still waiting.
DeleteAre we supposed to talk about the Jan. 14th show here???
ReplyDeleteThx, Spock.......was wondering too.
DeleteChristine should be singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" in a little lower key...it would be better for her voice.
DeleteMe Three. (about the wondering)......and MrSpock, I thought the exact same thing about changing the key to make the song in a more pleasing vocal range for her voice. A great vocal teacher should immediately suggest that and be able to change it on the spot for you.
DeleteI comment, on latest thread before any review from CJ and then again on the review. I go wherever you all are hanging out. When they are boring I don't post, but when they are dumb, I can't wait.
DeleteBy the way CJ, thank you for all you do and for leaving this blog open. I will take any bread crumb of your reviews. They have brought me some of my deepest belly laughs of my life. You capture the best screen shots of the most ridiculous Brown facial expressions. I enjoy every word on this blog. All post are appreciated and respected. Thanks to CJ and her wit. Keep it going for all time and eternity.
Jan. 14 show. I recall Christine getting more than a bit upset when she learned that Kody had helped choose Robyn's wedding dress. It's just amazing how much history they can ignore.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteI felt bad for Christine during the wedding dress scene. Tony stole that special moment between mom and daughter. He’s so damn controlling.
DeleteI was remembering that same event earlier today when I saw a commercial for the Mykelti/Tony wedding dress shopping trip. I guess these 7 years’ exposure to a world outside the kitchen and delivery room have softened C’s opinions (a good thing).
ReplyDeleteMeri says she isn't going into her sister wives' homes and watch their children...that it is "not going to happen." Well, so much for being a sister wife.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, so, so true!
DeleteConsidering what their (and Meri’s) opening lines are at the beginning of each epp, this belies everything this damn show has been shoveling since day one.
OMG......did Janelle really just say that Meri just sits there and takes up space! and that she needs to be more animated!? JANELLE is saying this.....too, too funny!
OMG, I caught that too......wow, I thought that was part of the whole "I wanted the family, not just the man" mindset?
DeleteWho needs got be watched? They all have mom’s/older sibs/one gram and a dad. Half the kids are grown.
DeleteDon't forget the nannies...the paid nannies that Robyn employs, you know, because there are not enough unemployed adults and teen siblings around to watch a baby in the cult. Yeah right.
DeleteMeri is to be ignored when no more little kids at home and no more baby making. That is the lot for a polygamist wife.
DeleteChristine, please let the “super cute” line go!
ReplyDeleteMeri, whatever Christine is taking for her new euphoric voice, just take maybe 1/4 a dose. You need to stop the halting delivery.......!
Sobbin, you are quite the family historian commenting on all the older kids. Don’t you feel a little silly telling the other mothers what makes their kids happy and fulfilled?
Janelle, why couldn’t you be this enthused and engaged when your daughter got married? Instead you went fishing that morning and gave an absolutely negative speech at the reception.
Kody, just go away. Or at least shelve the darting eye routine as you make it about you,
Better yet......just shut up and resist the talking heads. They add nothing but aggravation.
Yes, Amused I too noticed the Janelle concern for the flavor of cake and the extremely sad scene of Maddy almost begging her mom to stay present the morning of the wedding and not go fishing, what the heck is wrong with this woman.
DeleteBut then again I don't think it was about Mykelti's wishes, I mean after all it was the topic of cake.
Janelle has come to life for two reasons. Kody in tight pants and cake. I have a feeling that she takes cake more seriously than Kody's pants tho...
DeleteI think Janelle's behavior the morning of Maddie's wedding and during the ceremony was a direct result of jealousy that her daughter chose to experience monogamy and doesn't have to share Caleb. I think in Janelle's ideal world it would have been just her and Kody.
DeleteNooooooo! Not another lip-syncing dance by the Kodettes for the shower!
ReplyDeleteNow you would think that since we know they read the blogs, they know how the last kodette dance was critiqued.....wow, they are just gluttons for snark.
Oh man have I missed you guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteI literally can’t watch this show without you!
Are we also able to comment on Seeking Sister Wife? That show actually looks more interesting
Was anyone else disgusted by Kody twisting Madison’s baby announcement to be about HIM instead of allowing Madison to have her moment in the spotlight? Not only did he twist the focus to his virility but he TOTALLY ignored Janelle and her excitement.
ReplyDeleteThe wives have a choice to stay in the marriage or not, the kids are stuck, I’m sure most of the kiddos do’s will not live in Vegas and start their adult lives far far away from their self centered Dad.
Yes, he is gross!
DeleteOh goodness. I just clicked an old post from january of LAST year and responded to posts..and was 100% sure it was about THIS episode. This show is so lame that I didn't even notice the segments being talked about weren't the same. A lot of "Tony is a bit much." Oh..just like right now.
ReplyDeleteVondrid, I think that says more about the the show than it does about you! If you could read and respond to posts from a year ago, it is because nothing has changed. The show, the family, has not evolved in any way. Same storylines, just different characters. Still tasting wedding cake samples (just this time it is for Mykelti) as opposed to the other times.....their commitment ceremony or Maddie's wedding.....the wives are still practicing skits to perform. We could probably drop in on them 10 years from now and they would be in the same loop!
DeleteI'm soooooo sick of hearing about Tony's Mexican culture. He wants his culture to be accepted WHILE DISRESPECTING AND DISREGARDING other cultural norms. For example, he said that his culture will bring lots of uninvited guests (family, friends etc) to their wedding. Well that's fine if you're marrying someone who shares thag same "culture" to come uninvited to a wedding... however, he's NOT marrying into the same culture and should be courteous also to the Brown's expectations. He's just pushing his agenda without regard for the impact it has on anyone else (financial, etiquette etc). I just find it sloop incredibly rude and ignorant for him to be solely focused on his culyure/wants etc while disregarding his fiance and her family. Lastly, I hate that Tony's so awful, that I'm feeling sorry for the Browns!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis ‘famliy’ culture is catholic and includes alcohol at receptions. I’m good with him not drinking. Just that he isn’t thinking about his culture when it comes to anyone else a thing the wedding.
DeleteTony is a lot like Kody.
DeleteTony is just like Kody, I'm pretty sure he will be converting to (F) lds to get even more doughy girls to be subservient to his every ridiculous declarations just like Kody.
Deletedoughy girls... hahahahaha!!!!!!!!
DeleteDuring the part of the episode with Maddie and Caleb, they showed a wedding photo with the whole family-Fat Tony is in the picture! The song and dance they were selling was that they didn't know him, etc. How did he get an invite to the wedding and asked to get in the picture?
ReplyDeleteOf course Tony would be in Maddie's picture because he was dating Mykelti and they got married a few months after Maddie's wedding. Maybe you missed the last season? When Tony told Kody he could get a home equity loan to pay for his wedding to Mykelti.
DeleteSo Tony and Mykelti are blending their cultures...when did vintage become a "culture"?!?!
ReplyDeleteDon’t know if it’s okay with CJ but I’d like to express my concerns about the new show Seeking Sister Wife. I watched the new episode and felt sick after. Anytime I see a new show on polygamy it confirms my belief that this lifestyle is so sick and wrong and down right abussive towards women.
ReplyDeleteLove the snark! I missed this blog. Anyways I watched Seeking Sister Wife and Auralee, honey, that is NOT a lisp it is a speech impediment. She is annoying and seems to be conniving but has mastered manipulating that husband into feeling sorry for her.
ReplyDeleteOh yea a lisp doesn't mean you cannot pronounce your R's. I don't know why she is eager to embrace one impediment but deny the one she actually has.
DeleteNot only does wife 1 not like her but wife 3 seemed fed up too when she was describing one as exciting and like a butterfly and the other was *bad face* analytical. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but you could tell she was not into it.
I think they should have given the master to the oldest of the children so none of the wives had to get into it about it. And are the rest of the children sharing those 4 bedrooms? Why not put up some walls in the giant playroom? or even just set it up barrack bunk bed style in there? Also they aren't seeking. They already found and made a baby with their new wife.
Why do I know that name Aldridge from the family dating that girl on facetime? Aren't they one of the big plyg names? What do you think her big deal secret is? I think she either has kids already, or is infertile.
The non religious family is quite interesting. I always assumed if there wasn't religion you would have to, as Meri put it "go weird". That if you didn't have these constraints from religion that it would really only work with everyone canoodling each other. I'm curious to see how that goes.
This family, April, Auralee, and Angela is...nuts. That husband screwed his first wife over so bad making her be a polygamist. Breaks my heart for her. Wish she had gotten a divorce when he suggested that he would be happier with more wives.
DeleteThe house situation will be interesting. Sharing a kitchen seems to be a common issue among sisterwives. Hmmmm. If anyone should have the master bedroom it should have been wife #1 of 20 years and 8 kids! Wife 2 grew up in polygamy and probably learned to master passive agressiveness and manipulation.
DeleteThe couple with 2 wives seems to have a relatively good dynamic. Not sure about the mystery lady. We will see.
The 3rd couple will be interesting since they seem to be winging it with no religious basis.
The house situation....Auwalee was trying to make it sound like April was manipulating the situation to get what she wanted...and...I gave it a long thing...maybe she did want a whole basement for her and the two eldest of her stay at home kids...
DeleteShe does NOT seem like she is in it to win it with polygamy, and I almost wonder if she wants to wash her hands of the three blondes and let them have each other upstairs. But then, there's a clip of her crying and begging for a scrap of her creepy husband's time. Hard to say.
ITA!
DeleteFinally got around to watching this show.
DeleteAfter 2 hours of the Brown BS on Sunday, just wasn't in the mood for more Plyggy BS.
Note to TLC....you may want to stagger the times of these Plyg glut shows. Back to back is not doing either show any favor!!
Ever heard of overkill !!!??????
SO, we first have a trio of deluded women (mothers), all with the initial A, catering to yet another horny barnyard rooster !!
WTH !!
And lo and behold, they are moving in *together* after living apart.
Hmm..looks like TLC decided to reverse the Kody Kult's arrangement of when they switched out their habatrail place in Lehi, Utah for separate McMansions in Vegas....
So instead, they are showcasing these Seeking SW plygs moving into their new communal digs, thinking that ploy will draw viewers to want to watch these new plygs.
TLC, you may have overshot your vision!
Remember Brady and his bunch of Five?? Epic fail !!
And why would any seasoned veteran of 8 snark-filled years of SW want to watch yet THREE more families of frustrated, unfulfilled women choosing to live such dysfunction ??
And just like the babes of Kodyworld, are they also that willing to allow a camera to show the world their miserable existence?
And...are they willing to do that to their KIDS??
Just like the Browns ladies did and are still doing to their kids??
Final Question is...
Like the Brown Clan, are these three new plyg families that greedy to be willing to shill for grifty reality show $$$$ !!??
Brady and wives left. They just didn’t want to get divorced. There family was tons better than the Browns or the new train wreck. The lady in Georgia needs to cut off her man and find a man only for her. At least they are not legally committed. More honest. I respect them for that. The ones legally married but purposefull not exclusive make my blood boil and no idea why they are in prison. It’s fraud. It’s marriage sham to get benefits or citizenship or green card. Those last two can get prison for all why not this? The divorce that is a lie?
DeleteThe non married wives annoy me more since most of them claim to be single parents and collect welfare benefits. I would respect it more if the men actually supported all these women and kids with their money instead of ours!
DeleteDear Meri,
ReplyDeleteThank you for contradicting everything your family and other public polygamous families have tried to convince us of since you let the cameras into your homes. Your recent behavior has proven that polygamy doesn't necessarily allow children to call upon multiple mothers, and that sharing a husband just makes one woman (you) more self-serving.
Janelle, Christine, and Robyn do seem to have your best interests at heart. They want you to have something to do that will bring you happiness. They recognize that, with Mariah's leaving the family fold to build her own life, you might feel lonely and wonder what the future holds. Your statement that, "it takes two--they don't come over to my house and hang out or invite me over to just hang out", and "I'm not going to go to their houses and help out with their kids" seems to be counter to everything plural marriage is supposed to be. Have you forgotten that Christine educated Mariah and cared for her while you were at work? Did you forget that Janelle's full-time "real job" provided financial security so that you could work part-time or quit jobs whenever you felt like it to travel with Kody? Your sister wives enabled your flesh-and-blood daughter to experience life as one of many children, and you've said that if anything happened to you, the other mothers would raise Mariah "as you would want her to be raised".
They say you've been disengaged with the family. You come to family events late and leave early, spending the entire time you're there on your phone. Seriously, is that the behavior of a "good mother"? You seem to want all the benefits possible with this lifestyle, but you don't want to take on the duties for your sister wives that they've undertaken for you. You want them to support your purchase of the B & B financially and and otherwise, but you don't want to do the same for them.
And let's be real here: the only reason you're still in the family is that you found out that your catfish is a woman. There's no doubt in my mind that, had she turned out to be a he, you would have been gone in a flash. Now that you've shifted focus again, you expect Kody and Mariah to come running back to you--you want an "intimate" relationship with Kody, you want Mariah to "get over" her anger and discontent, you want your daughter to understand your difficulty in accepting her sexual identity. But you don't want to provide those same supports for your family.
So, thank you for pulling off my blindfold. You've done more to further the anti-polygamy agenda than you can ever imagine. If your lifestyle has indeed made you better, I hate to think what kind of selfish person you were before the first sister wife came along. No wonder Janelle is afraid of you.
Sincerely, got2bdrc
Nailed it, got2bdrv!
DeleteI still say the only reason why she didn't run off with the catfish was because they are both butch. I've always maintained that both her and Kody had same sex attraction and found each other in a homophobic cult.
She is by far the most self loathing one on the show, I think she is closeted because of this horribly predudice religion. I feel she was never allowed to even entertain the thoughts of any other lifestyle. She is the most depressed, most judgemental and raised the only child I do not care for.
I say let her live in her she-shed in Utah and bring on number 5 to live in her McMansion and shake Robyn to her core. That I would love to watch.
Oh Lisasumms!!! Between '10 Taco Tony" and "she-shed" you are on a real tear. I think you have coined some really great new slang for our blog!!
DeleteMeri was put out to pasture years ago. Robyn has had adults living with her so does Christine. Janelle has no small kids at home either. Kody has been checked out since Mariah was a teen. Completely since she left for college. This is what happens when polygamist women don’t have Little’s and there are other sister wives with Little’s or young enough to produce more.
DeleteThanks Big Sky, just trying to keep up with you, Amused, CJ , and all my favs here. These people are soooo easy to mock, since all their recipes are mock, story lines are fake and any sense of history doesn't exist. I mean any photo can be recreated and drawn with someone inserted into it to change history. I proudly display a large portrait of my children and I with Brad Pit sketched in, my first husband.
DeleteLisasumms,
DeleteRight back at ya, friend !! :)))
Is anyone else having difficulty with just how insanely unproductive it is to continue to allot any more time to watching this farce?
ReplyDeleteAfter this week’s epp......
We realizie that Mykelti has been married to Kody Jr. for over a year.
Maddie’ s baby probably will be walking soon if not already.
Mariah is all signed in to the family TV money stream happily accompanied by her partner, and who knows for how long they have been together.....a year??
Meri’s B&B, aka her ticket out of the harem, is already bought, redecorated, staffed and open for business.
Yet we are supposed to be glued to these inane scenes of cake tasting, dress shopping, just pitifully lame bridal shower hi-jinks, Kody-hogging talking heads,and Mariah’s attempts to be even more a spoiled bitch. All about events over A YEAR OLD!!!!!
And all sprinkled heavily with Christine in manic mode, Janelle just “there” as usual, Sobbin playing family therapist....again, Meri doing her “geez-I have to tell the family something and I’m skeered”....again,
How is THIS worth any of our time.......again??
I'm skeered...Oh my goodness I just snorted laughing so hard at that summation...no need for me to post any further commentary, you nailed " that bitch".
DeleteIf season one were half as long as it was I might be okay with the decriminalization if polygamy of people over 18. Now I would like them all thrown into prison for marriage fraud with the fake divorces and marriages that never were intended to be exclusive until the death of the other partner. They all shoudl be single legally speaking. When you come to a marriage to commit visa fraud you get deported and go to prison. Why not for this? It’s fruad for an illegal benefit.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/LYnfpX1qZ7U
ReplyDeleteThis blog and previous SWB sniffed out every single one of these lies, as they happened.
I myself knew of the lots/culdesac where they were trying to build the McMansion and confirmed address and if they were seriously touring the model home. (At that time I was in Real Estate and went to Vegas often)
We here always knew the timelines were fudged. We discovered all the fraud and bankruptcies and these topics have been discussed here thousands of times.
Yep, it is highly likely it is fake and staged, duh!
Why doesn't Meri make her empty nest into a bed and breakfast considering she has 5 bedrooms and a wet bar. Bonus...vegas has more visitors/vacationers than anywhere in the world. Certainly the business guru, Kody would approve that business plan.
ReplyDeleteGreat thought,!
DeleteAnd she could command a good price with the added plus of a possible sighting of the harem master himself and his bevy of beauties! Who wouldn’t jump at that chance?.
Air BNB is always an option too.
DeleteI'm speaking as a big woman who has nothing on anyone. But Janelle is as far in denial as I've ever seen anyone be. She's still morbidly obese. She's got the Strive business. She's allegedly been pursuing healthy eating for years now. All the time talking about these intense workouts she does. B.S.! She's a morbidly obese overeater who has to live part part part time with a husband who cannot possibly fulfill any emotional needs. And god only knows the financial stressors. I don't blame her for being fat! Janelle, wake up and leave! .....avocado toast and roasted garbanzo beans, my A$$!!! We all saw that butt when you bent over. I'm a fat woman who is not buying a membership for the "Strive with Janelle" program....im not funding her sneaky midnight runs to McDonalds.
ReplyDeleteRant over. :)
I'm with you "Finite Resources", I too am fat and when I stop compulsive eating, I lose weight, when I drink more water and walk more, I lose allot of weight!
DeleteIt's all mental, stress and comfort.
I wish they would drop the weight storyline, but then again Janelle would have NO storyline at all.
Um I'm sorry to always be superfical and shallow but did anyone else notice Robin was wearing a gold tiffany pendent (a small elsa peretti heart). I personally think it is a lovely piece, but how can a family of 5 mortgages, 18 tutitions and 18 weddings to pay for afford such things? Also, did anyone notice she seems to have upgraded her watch to match kody's....couldn't tell if it was a rolly.
ReplyDeleteI like these joooowelry details!! I always enjoy when people notice their extravagances, especially the jewelry because if you pretend to design and sell it - wouldn't you want to wear your own on your television show to help sell it?!
DeleteThat is, if you had any business sense!! Like when they strategically leave sitting out on counters that green goo water stuff they sell. Or when every outfit Meri wears on tv is now her Lula Roe.
Can we also talk about the other extravagance I noticed?! Did anyone else see them pull up (can't remember what scene) in a Lexus SUV? Thinking maybe the favorite wife got to trade her beater in for something grander?
I did see that Lexus and then wondered if it was a rental? Anyway, it would be interesting to know if it does belong to them - who?? Meri just looks frumpy in that Lula Roe - I though anyway - not my style.
DeleteDo the producers even care anymore? In her first talking head, Christine says that Mindy is going to Mykelti's bridal shop trip, but she is never on camera or mentioned anywhere. I wished they handled Tony as well, because he is so gross.
ReplyDeleteTony is the one driving Christine's minivan to the shop, even though Christine is so against his participation. And, it's never explained why they're shopping for wedding dresses in Las Vegas when Mykelti lives in and is getting married in Utah, where, in this same episode, they shop for reception locations.
Also, the sister wives have so many visions and opinions about traditional weddings, when 4 months earlier, they attended and planned their first ever - Madison's.
Aspyn is engaged. I wish her the best. I do wish her finacee weren't a part of "The Kody Show."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tlc.com/tlcme/aspyn-brown-from-sister-wives-is-engaged/
My heart sunk when I read this part:
Delete“We were raised in the same church group, and I had a little crush on him,” she adds. “We went different directions until a rally some of my family attended in Utah"
Which means that he was part of their polygamist AUB church group in Utah and his family was attending the Utah rally in support of polygamy.
Why, Aspyn, Why???!! I had such hopes for you!!! After going to college in Las Vegas and being exposed to other young men, I was hoping she would date people outside the AUB and not rush into a marriage.
P.s. to my above post; after watching their post on TLC (thank you Anon 9:55) I had an additional comment;
DeleteAfter watching her fiance speak, I would bet the farm that this young man from the AUB named Mitch Thompson is obviously a close relative ( I would go so far as to say sibling or half-sibling!) of Rosemary Thompson Williams (wife of Brady from "My Five Wives") Looks like here....same speech as her....I wonder how Christine reconciles this? Rosemary's claims of sexual abuse against her father, Lynn Thompson, president of the AUB church, have torn their AUB community apart. Although the Kodster loves to speak out against Warren Jeffs, he has remained silent about their own group, the AUB. No one quite seems to know if the Browns are still members or not and with the war going on within the AUB it will be interesting to see how the fiance fits into this mess.
Big Sky,
DeleteThanks for the possible heads up on this.
I do remember Rosemary of Brady's Bunch divulging her story and feeling so bad for her.
Aspyn is an adult and free to choose. (and she IS lovely)
Can only hope her guy is "different" from his genes if proven to be related.
Thank you Big Sky, I had no idea she was dating within the cult. She looks so successful on her instagram at college. I really thought she was going to opt out of the klan... oh this is so so sad.
DeleteI always thought Aspyn is gorgeous and Yasabel too. The kissing cousins Kody/Christine is a great gene combo for these two girls. (I think they share a great grandparent or two) yuck.
Oh I'm just so disappointed. I wonder how the Browns feel about a paternal great granddad that is an aledged pedophile. But that is nothing new for this cult, FLDS in general.
Ugh I watched the tape, another real winner on the huge doughy pile of in-laws.
But this blog years ago said that these kids are going to run away with the first guy/gal who shows them any attention and it seems to be playing out that way. Who knew they would find so many creepy mates. Oh man, this just bums me out. But it does smell of allot like a wedding competition with these girls. And the 5 bumblers are always so tickled that these extremely young woman are just marrying so young. I know Aspen is older than Maddie and Mykelti, but for today's standards they are all so young.
Well all I can say is Kody better hurry up and nail down Mindy and even a younger #6 because he is going to be in competition with his kids for many more years always one upping them with his own new baby after every grand baby according to his comment the second Maddie announced hers.... what a jackass, egotistical Peter Pan, narcissistic PLYG !
Is it possible that her fiance also does not want to live polygamy? Do you have evidence that he does? Big deal they were raised in it and met again at a pro-plyg rally. The other Brown family children were there as support to their parents, not necessarily to express their own innermost desire to be polygamist. We know most the teens/Young adults are NOT choosing polygamy.
DeleteI looked up a picture of her to show my mom which one I was talking about. The first one I clicked was the girls on the couch talking about "Share my husbands? Thats sounds like a lot of Hell No." I have said in order for this show to go on they would really need one of the kids to want to live it...she wasn't even on my radar though.
DeleteI'm glad that Aspyn is happy and I wish the couple well. Hopefully, her university experience, her opportunities to see the wider world via her sorority, and her time in Las Vegas have allowed her to develop a heightened sense of discernment, so that she will be able to give informed consent or informed refusal to living plural marriage with a husband from within the congregation. If he says he won't take any additional wives after Aspyn, and then does so, I hope Aspyn has developed the tools to leave that marriage before polygamy damages her to the point of not being able to leave and build a new life.
ReplyDeleteDitto!
DeleteJust caught the little scrap of a preview for this next epp of Kodyworld where the dilemma du jour appears to be.......
ReplyDeleteWhat happens in the compound when Kody-Idiot is fighting with one wife...how does that affect the other wives??? WTH !!!
Seriously producers/writers..Are you kidding??????
Has the well run so bone dry for madcap trips, Sobbin sniveling sagas, Meri/Janelle therapy fests, kid chaos, JunkJoolery/GreenGoo/Leggings and more leggings/Strive (to get suckers signed up) etc...etc.....
that now you have to resort to the lame premise of ...
Oh NO,Kody is pissed at one of his cloud mates and all hell is breaking loose.
WOW...Just Imagine the drama of it all!! Like last week's dried up leftovers, TLC subjects its viewers to any and all boring, staged recycled, been-done plots.
Nothing changes in Kodyworld, does it??
Ha,ha,ha hilarious, nice post...when you list out all the shell companies and MLM scams it makes them appear to be the biggest group of unsuccessful grifters that ever lived. Too funny!
DeleteI was upset to see that they are both from the church. The rally was probably polygamy related. I was initially excited for her engaged. I actually wondered if had gotten married long ago and just didnt announce it because it was a polygamist group marriage thing. So when I saw her engaged I was excited, until.. but she is an adult. I hope if this is or will become polygamist none of them marry civilly.
ReplyDeleteDon't they have a civil/legal marriage so that they can benefit from Tax deductions, etc?
DeleteThe Alldredge Family.
ReplyDeleteThis family seems happier than most poly families that have been on TLC. The wives are both lovely, well spoken and seem to sincerely get along. When sitting on the couch he is paying attention to them both and all seem happy. Their kids are adorable and seem happy. I think the wives likely bonded over having many kids close to the same age. They has bedrooms that seem pretty equal. They are both nearly equally pretty imo and appear to be close to the same age. I think this all helps. He also was honest with them both before marriage about wanting to live poly, which is way better than springing it on woman after they get married and have kids. Despite this, I see some red flags with them as well.
-He is much older than the women. Too old for his family really.
-They have a really nice balance of power that seems pretty equal and happy. I think a third wife will upset this all and throw them into turmoil.
-Can a third wife fit in their house?
-It seems odd that a man with many young children and 2 wives younger than himself would have time or a desire to troll the internet looking for a third woman. It seems creepy and odd to me.
-Something seems off about the woman they were video chatting with.
-Vanessa, his first wife, doesn’t seem happy about the third wife. She expressed her pregnancy hormones are effecting her on this and wanting to take things at her own (likely slower pace). Between the lines, she doesn’t desire this at all and I can't really blame her.
Seeking Sister Wives
ReplyDeleteThe Snowdens
Ashley is lovely and well spoken. Their children are adorable. The couple is trying to present themselves as a modern couple with an empowered and happy relationship who are on this journey as a consenting team. Reading between the lines, I see a different story.
-They are not legally married, allegedly so a second wife feels more equal. They have 3 kids together and started having kids before likely talking about a sister wife. I think he might have long standing commitment issues.
-Ashley says she wants this in part so she knows who he is sleeping with and is part of the situation. Does mean that he would be sleeping around on her either way and feels this is better than sneaky affairs?
-He suggested this of course. This was not her idea, but rather something went along with.
- They had a sister wife in the past, but said didn’t work out because the woman didn’t want to bond with Ashley so they ended it. There could be more to his story.
- Dimitri says he wants a sister wife so Ashely has someone to bond with and empower her. Not marrying her and seeking another woman doesn’t sound a great way to empower his wife to me.
- Ashley says she is done having kids. Will he put her to pasture for the woman with younger kids eventually? Why is she done? Did her doctor advice this be her last pregnancy? Will she change her tune when she sees Dimitri paying more attention to the woman still have babies? It seems odd that a women would allow her husband a second woman to please him, would put her foot down and stop having babies if he wants more kids
-She seems to expect or hope a sister wife will be her best friend. She would be better off finding girlfriend who is not sleeping with her husband to share her ups and down with. She will probably never be able to fully trust a sister wife.
-She tries to sound cheerful and enpowered, but if one really watches her facial expressions while she talks, she looks down right pained and tormented at times as she talks about their search for a second wife. .
he Briney Family
ReplyDeleteThis family is a train wreck. Drew seems like a jerk. He also seems pretty clueless about women and the games they play, making him not a great choice to head a poly family. April seems like she is being grossly mistreated. Auralee seems really manipulative to me. Angela seems leveled headed, but the how level headed can a woman be who married into a family like after knowing Drew for just days really be? Listening to the details, I also picked up.
-April married into a committed relationship and was blinded sided by the poly thing. It took her a whole year to agree to it and she likely doesn’t want it and never wanted it.
-One of April’s sons living outside the home is not yet 18. Does he not get along with dad or something?
-Auralee goes on camera talking about how manipulative April is, but watching them on screen, it looked like it was her doing the game playing to me.
-Auralee’s lisp while probably real to a point, also seems cutsy and overdone. Possibly a bit baby talky and possibly is part of her way of controlling Drew at times.
-April probably does want the basement, but she probably wants it for reasons other than holding it over Auralee’s head. She had some teenagers, including some who don’t live at home. She possibly wants to give them a sanctuary in the basement where she can visit with them without the rest of the family looming around. She might want to take over the basement, but probably for the good of her children. That could be what she meant by I put my kids first.
-Auralee seems to be Drew’s favorite wife. She also seemed to have the most control over him. It is very likely they already decided that Auralee, the favorite, would get the master bedroom and share such with Drew and this all was sorted of acted out for the camera.
-It is very likely that Auralee is saying things about April and the master bedroom to try and win points with the viewers and try and paint herself as the victim early on or at least like she isn’t wrong for taking the master bedroom away from the first wife.
-When Drew comforted Auralee about the bedrooms, he seemed to be taking sides.
-April didn’t seem like she did or said anything wrong to me when she said, fine have the master bedroom, I will take the basement, its best for my kids anyways. I saw nothing wrong with that. It looked like a set-up to make her bad guy in the family.
-Angela seems to be a sigh, long suffering sigh about this all.
-Drew and Auralee both speak quite unflattering about April. I feel really bad for her.
Drew is super gross. How he got one woman, let alone three women, to marry him I have no idea! He practically whispers when he talks, and he has that terrible Dwight Schrute hair-do. I think he loves it that his wives fight over him. Nasty. Also, he is a story telling juggler! For real.
DeleteI can’t believe any of the rooms would be labeled master bedroom in a home of polygamists. Honestly why not get a few townhomes attached together?
ReplyDeleteBrady had something like that going for his harem, except their bradyworld homes looked liked a string of old 60’s Motel Sixes.
Delete@Amused, you should see what they just moved into! They built a brand new home, it looks beautiful. It appears to be just one house. I would love to know how that happens after declaring bankruptcy in 2014? These people are unreal. I am putting a link to their facebook page, they have some public photos posted. If you scroll a few photos down to Dec. 16, you will see the photo of the new home.
Deletehttps://www.facebook.com/BradyandWives/
Thx, Big Sky !!!
DeleteWow, you're right.....Very impressive house!
So yes, how/where did the cash or credit manifest for that??
In reading thru some of their FB posts, apparently they have been doing interviews for foreign media like the UK and even Al Jazzera. I guess there is some $$$ in doing things like that, but still there must be a reliable income coming in somewhere.
And obviously Brady must not be concerned about being carted off to jail by the state of Utah...since their new house is in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Which means that their story line about having to flee from the law to Washington state that was pitched in their final season was all bogus too!
Read that Aspyn and fiancé intend to cohabitate before they marry. Must be afflicted by that hormone swap from kissing (or some such) that Kody cautioned his girls against a few years ago. Also seem to remember Robyn offering up her cautionary tale about sex b4 marriage. What...oh what...must the parents be thinking??????
ReplyDeleteI think that was a misinterpretation of what they said. I initially thought that also (that they were moving in together) but changed my mind after watching it a second time. Aspyn's fiance, Mitch, said in the TLC clip (there is a link above) he was looking forward to "moving in together." He was talking about what they were looking forward to as a married couple and I believe if you watch the clip of them speaking - they meant looking forward to living together after they are married .
DeleteOops...That’s what I get for believing what I read, instead of hearing it from the horse’s mouth. Thanks, Big Sky, for the clarification.
DeleteMykelti you are a little child! if you didn't want other people to offer their opinion on your wedding dress, why on earth did you take them shopping?
ReplyDeleteMykelti and Mariah are exactly the same in their looks, mannerisms, attitudes, everything. Tony looks like he needs a bath. Aspyn is very pretty and her fiance looks like a good match. I don't think they are following the plyg lifestyle. Mariah said she wanted to, but alas, that won't happen. Meri looks like she has checked out of that family for some time now.
ReplyDeleteA letter from one of the Brown kids to the Brown parents:
ReplyDeleteDear Dad and Mom, and Mom, and Mom, and Robyn,
For the past year and a half, I've been seeing a very nice young lady called Cherysh. She's a practicing Rastafarian, and we met in our religious studies class. She's smart, and funny, and beautiful. I love her dreadlocks because they remind me of Bob Marley.
Cherysh and I have decided to marry. Needless to say, we won't be living plural marriage; I intend to convert to her church. We will live in Montecito and grow pharmaceutical ganja.
We know that marriage is an expensive proposition, and that you've had to pay for Madison's, Mykelti's, and soon Aspyn's. We don't want all that fuss and bother. What we would appreciate is a sum that we can put toward a down payment on some land and a small house. The justice of the peace in Montecito is willing to do the ceremony. Dad, will you be my groomsman? And Moms, could you also join us as witnesses? Robyn, perhaps you could stay home with the littles, since Ari and Solomon are too young to behave themselves in a courthouse. And Meri Mama, could we book the honeymoon suite at the B & B for a week? Of course, we intend to pay for our stay.
Ever your loving, Mariah and Cherysh
