Welcome Back for the Premiere of Sister Wives January 20th, 2019


TLC


Yep, the Living Room has been closed since the last episode of Sister Wives was broadcast.

Wasn't that a long time ago? YOU BETCHA!

In a nutshell, here is what has happened since the last show.

Aspyn got married.

Meri continued to add to her LuLaRoe empire by bringing  daughter Mariah and her girlfriend, as well as Maddie  into the fold. 

Christine has joined LuLaRoe now, along with her daughter Mykelti. 

Say whut? Isn't LLR rather passe now? Haven't most of the top sellers left for greener pastures?

Well, yeah. But we already know this family's motto has always been "A Day Late and a Dollar Short." Maybe this time things will work to their advantage.

Maybe...


But you could have knocked me over with a feather when it became public in June of last year that Kody and his Kodettes LEFT VEGAS for...wait for it...

FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA???

Wait a minute, they left the entertainment capital of the WORLD for sleepy time Flagstaff?

And you wonder why I took a break from this tomfoolery. 

That's right, Kody is selling out....of the cul-de-sac, and has moved his family to scenic Flagstaff.   The only thing that is bothering me now is, if the Kody Krew could make Las Vegas a snoozefest, what the heck are they going to make out of Flagstaff?

I mean, how much snow, and cold, and pine trees can their audience stand this season? The Grand Canyon is grand, but, c'mon.

Well, the good news is, knowing how TLC works, even though the move to Flagstaff has been announced, the audience most likely will not see this new saga until almost the end of the season. 

Uh huh...But will there even be an explanation for the all real estate they've purchased in Flagstaff?  Why did Christine purchase a home in Flagstaff? Why is Robyn in a million dollar rental? Why was all that acreage purchased (you know, where a Big House can be built like in Big Love) when wives are scattered hither and yon, mostly yon in northern Arizona.

Where in the world are Meri and Janelle in this mess? 

 SPOILER ALERT! Meri bought the B&B.

How are the Browns paying for all of this? Who knows? Who cares? But believe me, time will tell...Time will tell.

So while we patiently wait for the bottom to fall out...





Gird up your loins!
Sister Wives is on the snark menu in My Living Room Tonight!!!



LET THE SNARKING BEGIN!!!

    1. I apologize for taking such a long break, but I'm back now!

      I use to think nothing about this family would shock me, but I can say I was literally SHOCKED by what they have done since June. This season had better be a good one!

  3. I was checking out some tweets and noticed a number of tweeter watched 90Day Fiance. I've got to admit, I LOVED watching that show. Of course I had to tweet how Kody does have a bit of the male cast in him.

    So if you watched both 90Day and Sister Wives, what are your thoughts? Do you think Eric could teach Kody a thing or two? I know Asuelu could show Kody some new dance moves.

    And while we're at it, how about the wives. Which sister wife is like Olga? or Larissa. How about Leida?

    Let's discuss.

    1. I agree C.J. There are certainly some correlations between the two shows. TLC is at the helm, so... One thing I noticed is fake weddings. I was really shocked with the Shelly wedding near the end of the 90 Day Season. Matt told her he was still married to another woman and it didn't bother her a bit. Then they were shocked the preacher backed out of the service. Well...without a valid marriage license, no preacher could perform that wedding. He would have been in jail. This reminds me of the plural marriages with Kody and his wives. Legalities do not bother Kody and they do not bother TLC. The show just blamed the preacher for not liking that Matt had lost his faith. Yeah, right.

    2. I've replaced my CJ Living Room entertainment with the 90 Day Fiance reddit board. The biggest similarity I see is the FRAUD. So many contrived BS story lines in both of these shows!

      Oh and...so glad the Living Room is back!! I've missed you all!!!

  6. Not watching these current recycled epps now being shown until official "showtime" tonight. The epps being aired now are/were way more than enough of that patented Brown BS.

    I think you correct....even though it is widely known that Kodyworld has long since flown the coop yet again, this time to placid Flagstaff...we won't see it until right before the end of this season.
    Nothing like serving up news that is over a year old....again!!
    Like taking out over-dated, freezer burnt food from the freezer and pretending it is fresh.

    1. Yep, but if this "move" to Flagstaff is a ratings bust, I can't see TLC renewing this show...even if Robyn, Maddie, Aspyn and Mykelti all get pregnant at the same time!

      Delete
    2. Agree....they just may have worn out the interest factor in ANY thing they do.
      As for possible births, Maddie may have worm that hook out for Kodyworld. Her wedding, gender-reveal, shower, labor/birth chewed up the scenery for anyone else.

      Besides, the Dugger Dynasty has just about cornered the market on daughters giving birth..and their ratings reflect how UN-interesting it all has become.

      Does TLC REALLY think this "moving again" angst is going to fly AGAIN..???
      And it is catfisher time ...AGAIN???
      This level of garbage on opening epp??
      Who is running the TLC ship !! Geez!!

    2. I betcha whoever came up with this storyline is probably working for another cable station now. This is really weak, and Kody and Robyn sitting in those chairs look like the King and Queen of the cul-de-sac. Kody play acting as a business man is ridiculous. Oh, and Kody really did have a job? No way.

      Delete
    3. Kody says...he and his buddy have had a business selling "manufactured items to distributors".....
      Could there be a more vague, say-nothing explanation (insert: load of pure load bullsh*t)to describe *nothing*.
      And their ship came in just now and now he can pay back the "family"....huh??

      Wow...the current storyline elves have sure missed a lot of former storylines...
      Such as, since day one all we ever heard was how poor they all are.

      So how come they all haven't been touting their respective horns about all "their businesses. Who knew !!!
      They all have ALL (as in many) their business plans submitted...huh?/!!!
      ALL their businesses??? Did we all miss a season or two where the Browns became Vegas moguls? Oh darn..I feel so UN-informed???

      Delete
    4. I can't believe this storyline. Hey TLC, this doesn't make sense. We saw the episode on the "venture capitalists" for MSWC, where Kody made a fool of himself and now he's a successful businessman? Oh no. This looks like the producers are setting the stage to explain how Kody can afford the move to Flagstaff and all the real estate purchases while the McMansions sit unsold.

    7. I wonder if kody is in the firearms industry somehow. He frequented gun shows in Vegas and Arizona. Maybe why he picked Arizona...just a thought because I don’t what other industry this man might have a clue about

  8. I saw Robyn and her girls when I was in flagstaff over the summer. I live in Phoenix and go regulrly during the summer. They are merchandising restaurants and candy store and bakery on Twitter for free dinners and cupcakes. That will end soon because it’s a small town and not as many places to frequent like in Vegas.

Sad part is the actual catfisher is still doing the same.

    1. What she wants to say is that it's not fair that so much of the family budget goes towards weddings and college tuitions when she only has one child to reap that benefit; so to compensate she should get money for this stupid b&b. But she won't say it because that would mean having to admit how ridiculous this whole plural marriage setup actually is.

  13. Honestly, the most and only interesting, entertaining thing about tonight's debut for another round of Kody Idiot and his idiotic harem is being back in Cynical Jinx;s living room. Beyond that, the "show" is just the usual rehashed, redundant bunch of scripted crap.

    He is *SUCH* an idiot.

    And I see that Sobbin is still speaking as if her jaw is wired shut.

    Just listening to them talk trash about their "shared" finances is such a joke !! Equity partners? Love how they are throwing these terms around as if it is all real.
    TLC you are insulting your audience....the remaining audience you have left.
    Not a good move.

    1. Good grief, enough already about the catfish saga, but I wonder if Kody is trying to punish Meri for almost leaving him for a another man...that turned out to be a woman. That must really be a blow to his...manhood.

      Delete
  22. I deleted my episode, but I should have taken notes.

    Here is my summary:

    Meri: I have saved $10,000 that you don't know about. I plan to use it as part of a $40,000 down payment on the family house/B&B. But I need more money. Can the family lend it to me. No, you won't be partners in my business. This is MY business. I kinda sorta not really but maybe have a business plan. My goal right now is to just buy the dang house. I'll figure out the rest later. My mom may or may not sleep in a nice bedroom. My mom may or may not help run the B&B. Don't question me. But talk amongst yourselves and see if you can lend me the money. Okay?

    Robyn: We all have to present a financial plan when we borrow money from the family. I had to do it. Janelle had to to it. Kody is all about the numbers. Numbers. That's him.

    Kody: It just so happens that my business with Brian is finally doing well and I can lend you $40,000 from our profit from that business since it appears to be just sitting somewhere waiting for us to use it.

    Christine: Sweetie, Meri, I don't like you and I want to be passive-aggressive and tell you that we all want to help you. I will use my little girl/calm voice to help you understand that you are asking the family for $20,000 and we kinda actually need to know that we are going to get that money back. Because, if you remember, you wanted the same monthly allowance that I get...but you don't have any kids at home and I still have kids at home and they have holes in their shoes and I'm still bitter about the fact that you get to live a posh life while we eat Ramen Noodles at my house - oh, and I babysit the other kids a lot. In fact, I keep a pack and play in my house. What do you do for the family?

    Janelle: Meri, you spend a lot of time holed up in your upstairs. I guess you are selling clothing. Its really awesome and special that you sold enough LLR to make $20,000. if you are that successful, maybe we should nix the B&B idea and just jump into LLR. But I'll hug you (sorta) and rub shoulders with you to show you that we love you, but what we really want to know is if we will get a cut of the B&B profit. No? Then why do you want our money?

    Kody: Hold up, everyone. I am a dummy. I don't have $40,000 to give to the family. I only have $20,000 and it has to go to taxes and Mariah's tuition. Sorry, Meri. Remember that I'll be 70 when my youngest child graduates. I am pitiful.

    Meri: Fine. I don't need you all. I will pout and punish you and myself and show you that you will be sorry when you lose me. I'll go sell some leggings to make another $20,000. But, by the way, I want you to meet a stranger that I'm very close to. She was catfished also.

    ****

    ctnd.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Friend: I was catfished. I took in a stranger and let this stranger live with me and my children. I am looking at Kody to see if I could be a 5th wife. Hmm

    Meri: Let's talk about catfishing so that you all believe me. I swear I wasn't flirting and having an emotional affair. See?

    Kody: Meri, can you tell me what threats Sam made to you?

    Meri: WHY DO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT CATFISHING? WHY CAN'T WE MOVE ON? I JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY. NONE OF YOU LIKE ME ANYWAY. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GANG UP ON ME? WHY WOULD YOU MEET WITH EACH OTHER AND TALK ABOUT ME? THAT ISN'T FAIR! I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS THAT I JUST WON'T SHARE WITH YOU. BEG ME TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE SO THAT I CAN TELL YOU TO STUFF IT. GO AHEAD. I RILLY DO HAVE THESE FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS, BUT I WON'T TELL YOU. AREN'T YOU GOING TO ASK? NO, WELL, THEN I'LL JUST PRETEND THAT I'M GOING TO STORM OUT OF HERE. SOMEONE STOP ME. FINE. I'LL JUST LEAVE.

    ******

    Robyn: "fluff hair repeatedly"

    Christine: I will squeal with delight when I am asked to move Madison and her crew to a house down the street...little does she know that we will all be moving out and leaving her here alone.

    Janelle: I want all of my grandchildren born in my house.

    *****
    The back brace/exercise thing: It looks like it came straight from home depot and made by third graders - like a giant erector set.

    I hope it helps, but I don't think it is fair to poke fun at a teenage girl, so I won't comment further.

  24. Best part of the episode was all of them on the couch and Christine repeatedly saying how horrible it was for the catfish to take advantage of the feelings people have when they "fall in love" to exploit them. Christine reiterated several times that the catfish took advantage of its victims falling in love--Kody was seething and Meri was pissed. No one on that couch spoke up and denied that Meri had fallen in love with someone else. I got a huge kick out of passive aggressive Christine stating the obvious but making both Meri and Kody furious in the process. The look on Kody and Meri's face while Christine said this was priceless. It was a nice touch on Christine's part to show sympathy while actually sticking a knife in both of them.
    Kody will never take Meri back, his ego would never allow it. He pretends to be working on things just to keep Meri close and, in my opinion, torment her somewhat with the idea that there is hope for them as a couple. She is too stupid to get that he will never have an intimate relationship again with her. She is wasting her time.

    1. Yes!!! I was loving that scene but didn't realize it was all Christine pushing that point. I guess I saw them all on the couch and assumed it was all of them. But now that you point it out, I see it!! And I love it. She's really good at that passive aggressive manipulation.

      Delete
    2. Oh my, Big Sky! That's it in a nutshell! Christine OWNED those two.

      I thought her emphasis was odd, but I almost mistook it for sympathy for someone who got dumped by her husband of 20 years and is expected to suck it up for all eternity...

      OTOH, Meri has had a long time to put a spin on the catfish incident, but instead of finding someone who will try to sell a story about how the real evil genius of the catfish is is convincing depressed women that their situation is hopeless, she scares up a lady who gets pink hair because she gets to go to Vegas and be on the TEE VEE.

      Delete
    3. Exactly Annie Mouse! So far Meri has only found victims who were single or recently separated women looking for love and romance online. Meri has yet to come up with a victim who was just looking for friendship (as Meri originally claimed was her situation). As Meri unearths these victims and they tell their stories I think it is backfiring for Meri. So far it has just reinforced that a romantic relationship between the catfish and victim is the common component.

    2. Thanks for sharing, CG!

      Meri has always stricken me as a cold, heartless, manipulative (expletive) and it seems that the truth is finally coming out. As long as Mariah got anything she wanted, who cares if the other 17 kids were wearing shoes that were falling apart.

      As best as I can recall, all of the adult children have now decided to not practice polygamy and I've always found that a little odd. If one grows up in that culture/religion, wouldn't it make sense to want to continue practicing it into adulthood? There had to be a reason why the Brown young adults said "no way" and this sheds some light on one possible reason why.

    3. Actually, I see at least one sister wife for Aspyn. Mitch is AUB "royalty", a brother of Rosemary Williams. He said he wouldn't force Aspyn to practice polygamy, but he didn't say he absolutely wouldn't consider additional wives. In five years, maybe...

    1. Who needs to show bloody knees if not an attempt for sympathy/pity?! Reminded me of the time when Kody was hustling her out of the house to get the "legal" divorce and she said she was having a dizzy spell. I'm sure she has learned this type of behavior as an attention getting device.

  30. I am so glad you are back, Cynical Jinx! I was not going to watch the new season of Sister Wives if this blog was defunct. This blog makes it worth watching the train wreck! Welcome back, everyone! :)

  31. This whole thing about the house..ARGH!!! This could all have been avoided if she had come to them with a detailed business plan ready to go. Meri doesn't seem to want to put in the hard work. She has too much emotion and sentimental value attached to the house and she only wants it for personal purposes, not business purposes.

    She is being very selfish and not thinking about the family that she is still "wanting" to be a part of. And if the "equal equity partner" thing has been a thing since the beginning, why are some of these women *cough Meri cough* acting as if this is not already decided and a foregone conclusion? Meri at one point responded to a question about equal equity partners and she acted like she had never heard of the term before.

    That last conversation about the house was just ridiculous.

    Kody - "We don't have the money, you are thinking selfishly, we need to put food on the table. We can't do it know. Check back in the spring."

    Meri - "I don't care, I want it know. You won't see me at any family functions because I need to make money to buy a house that I have no business plan for."

    Without a business plan, she is basically just wanted to by a family heirloom for personal reasons that are of no benefit to anyone except her peace of mind. Seriously, most of this could be solved if she got a half-decent business plan together.

    1. Maybe we finally know which mother-in-law does not get along with Kody?!

      I always wondered after he made the cryptic comment about one of his M-I-L's not being a fan--he sure didn't hesitate to paint Meri's mom in a not so flattering light.

      People posting on other blogs soon after Meri purchased the B & B claimed that Meri's mom sold her home and most likely helped Meri with the down payment (although the property deed is in Meri's name only). This is probably why Meri was so adamant her mom choose which room and even to what extent she pitched in with running it. It would be kind of hard to dictate terms to her mom if she helped make the down payment. No wonder Meri said her mom might just "live there" and not work!

      It also make sense why Meri wouldn't want the family as "profit partners" or whatever that babble was--which sounded suspiciously like lingo thrown around in their MLM pyramid schemes! I doubt if Meri's mom would be on board with the profits going to the family if the mom put in 50% of the down payment/equity and is there to "help" Meri run it. Meri just wanted to use the family for some quick cash with no strings attached. I wanted to laugh when she kept saying that it was a "short term" loan and she would immediately pay it back. She didn't even have a plan to run the business - how was she going to pay back that much cash quickly?!

  32. It is hard to have any sympathy for Meri regarding her sense of urgency in buying the house. It's not like the owner even had it on the market. There is NO other potential buyer...t's in the middle of nowhere....who else is the owner going to sell it to?!

    It's a private sale arranged by the owner, who reached out to Meri. Another example of Meri being manipulated. Meri probably hadn't thought about the house for years until the owner contacted her and invited her to come see it again....then suddenly because the owner was willing to sell it to Meri (only because "it felt right") Meri needs to have the house immediately. Meri treats the situation like it is a crisis. It reminds me of the faux crisis Meri created when she and Mariah potentially couldn't move into their Las Vegas home before Christmas. Meri loves to bring on the drama.
    This situation again illustrates how easily Meri is manipulated, you think she would have learned her lesson after the catfish. This just feels like she was catfished into buying her "ancestral home."
