CJ and fellow Living Room guests...I was thinking it might be fun to start at episode 1 and discuss each episode. We could kind of have a hind sight is 20/20 approach know[ing] what we know now. I watched the first couple episodes again last night and it was [so] interesting since we all know how things turn out. 

Maybe it's something you would consider?


Heck yeah! Let's go for it, shall we?

Let's start with Season 1.

What were some of your first impressions of the Brown Family, particularly Kody Brown?

Which was a better representation of polygamy? Big Love or Sister Wives?

What were your first impressions of Robyn Sullivan?

Why do you think the birth of Christine's Truely was so downplayed in comparison to the birth of Solomon and his sister Ariella? Was it fair treatment?

Feel free to discuss these and other discussion points you might have below!

Some Season One photos for your pleasure are above!

Many thanks to Anon for this great suggestion!

Sister Wives: Finale for June 26th, 2016 LIVE TWEET PARTY!!!


TLC.com

Season finale? Mid-Season finale? SERIES FINALE????

Who knows...and frankly I don't think a lot of us even care any more.

It's just seems so weird how this season started just six scant weeks ago, and it's already over.

And it's no secret how disappointing this season has been.

First of all, two hours of Sister Wives is about 1.5 hours longer than the episode needs to be, especially when you factor in those interminable recaps which eventually started recapping the recaps I tell ya, it was hard - extremely hard - not to fall asleep.

It's makes me wonder if TLC , realizing what a snoozefest this season would be, deliberately chose not to extend out this season any long than necessary. So we the audience were stuck with overly long episodes that basically didn't tell us anything more than we already knew just from reading the online rags.

Let's face the facts here. The show morphed into the Kody and Robyn Hour, and it stunk to high celestial heaven. And Meri, no matter how hard she tried to make herself out to be a victim,  came across as a very lonely sister wife who had to watch her former legal husband legalized his fourth wife, who then legitimized her status as a legal wife by promptly pushing out Kody's spirit baby through her Lincoln Tunnel a year later.

You don't need to be a genius to figure out if Meri's catfisher had been a real person, she would have left the cul-de-sac and Kody's not so funny business in a New York minute.

So let's enjoy the final episode(s), and hope, if there is another season, Kody brings in a 5th wife to keep this faltering franchise from slipping into obscurity.

And please, not Mindy. Make it a vacuous, ex-Vegas showgirl. Pulleeeeze????

Hey everybody, you know what time it is...

It's L I V E  T W E E T  P A R T Y  T I M E   !!!!



Will Kody add wife #5 to his Harem?

I'm waiting for ya, Kody!


Is the Honeymoon Experience finally over for these two love birds?


Robyn: Cynical Jink was right, this season stinks!

Prepare yourself for MORE Kody BLOVIATING!!

Kody proving that doing nothing all day can be hard work!
While Robyn plays the sweet and innocent Queen of the Cul-de-Sac!! Just call her Mrs. Brown, thank you very much!
I DO need an experienced nanny. Ok Kody, you can marry Mindy if you want!
Will Robyn actually tweet tonight?
Well, that depends if the episode has a segment about her, and ONLY about her. Gotta keep up the appearance of being totally self-centered, right?

It's Sunday Night and Sister Wives is on the snark menu in My Living Room!!!

SISTER WIVES LIVE TWEET PaRtY for Father's Day, June 19th, 2016

But first....

In case you haven't heard, Mykelti announced she is engaged to her boyfriend, Tony Padron.




I've always thought of all Kody's children, Mykelti was the one most like Kody. Impetuous, headstrong, opinionated, she was once reprimanded by Meri (and later Kody on a different episode) for showing too much of her ample cleavage.

Christine once called Mykelti her "Wild Child"

And who could forget her ignoring orders NOT to get on a wild horse in an episode on the Brown Family Ranch in Wyoming. The horse bucked her off, she landed flat on her back, and had to be taken to a chiropractor in extreme pain.

One can never get enough of Kody and  Robyn swapping hormones
Then there was the infamous hormones speech Kody gave to her then "boyfriend", which showed Mykelti listening intently to Kody's every word even though most of what he said was 1) based on misleading science and 2) showed Kody to be a hypocrite who didn't worry about hormones when he kissed Robyn on camera while Christine was in labor with Truely.

But there was also the Mykelti shown not wanting to go to Kody's Church of Dad one Sunday because it was being filmed. Who can forget her lofty plans to finish college two years early, become a fashion designer and adopt a bunch of kids with no mention of marriage. She was almost there...

Last year, Mykelti took a sudden turn for the worse. She left college, apparently gave up on being a fashion designer, and took a job in St George Utah, working for the pawn shop that "loaned" Kody and Robyn money for the financially struggling MSWC.

And now, less then two weeks from the highly publicized wedding of her bonus sister Maddie, Mykelti has announced her own engagement. To a 22 year old "banker", who happens to be mainstream LDS.

We started this conversation on the last week's Tweet Party post, so let's continue with this question...Do you think Mykelti's wedding will be featured on Sister Wives next? Is she really in love, or is this engagement announcement all for "the show" to boost ratings?


Your thoughts?


Hey everybody, you know what time it is...

It's L I V E  T W E E T  P A R T Y  T I M E   !!!!



Will Kody add wife #5 to his Harem?

I'm waiting for ya, Kody!

Robyn: Hell no! I will NEVER approve a 5th! You should know that by now Kody!

Prepare yourself for MORE Kody BLOVIATING!!

Kody: Doing nothing all day is hard work!!
While Robyn plays the sweet and innocent Queen of the Cul-de-Sac!! Just call her Mrs. Brown, thank you very much!
