I now understand why the Browns don't talk about their sex lives.
All I want to say is I think Brady and his Bradyettes© should rethink filming in the bedroom. Some things just don't need to be televised, know what I mean?
Anyway, here's a brief summary of what went down in this episode.
- Brady insulted a wife, big time!
- Brady insulted a daughter, big time!
- Nonie is crazy like a fox!
First up, Brady showed us how he can insult a wife, and not even realize it.
I've come to a conclusion about Brady. He has the hots for Nonie, and Nonie knows it. In fact, Nonie's got old Brady wrapped firmly around her finger.
For some reason, the Bradyettes© have devised this totally confusing system of allocating Bradytime when it's a wife's anniversary. After ten years, a wife gets a week. After 15 years, she gets a weekend. Brady and Wives have come to understand is that love may be multiplied, but the number of hours in a day still remain the same.

| Rosemary was not amused... |
As he proudly proclaimed he and Nonie will take their weekend vacation away from the wives on schedule, poor wife Rosemary was left wondering what she did wrong.
You see, Rosemary's anniversary weekend trip was still 3 months overdue, but Brady was going ahead with taking Nonie on her anniversary trip ON SCHEDULE. As we use to say in college, she must have some powerful sexual juju he just can't resist...
The look on Rosemary's face was priceless. If looks could kill, Brady would be pushing up daisies in the frozen garden out back. Bad juju, Brady...really BAD juju...
And the insults didn't stop there.
The next segment highlighted Brady and Paulie's 15 year old daughter, September.
I need to get this off my ample chest. If parents are stupid enough to give one child an unusual name, they should spread the indignity to all of their children. In this case, once the 12 months are used up, days of the week could be used. Or the moons of Mars, Jupiter and/or Saturn if necessary. Giving a child an unusual name is just plain cruel and unusual punishment in my book. Right???
Okay, I feel better now...

| Rebellious September with her shredded on purpose pants. |
After Brady made fun of the pants September was wearing ("I have money to buy you new pants" he tells her) Brady was shown planning his anniversary trip with Nonie. She's got bonus kid babysitters all lined up to take care of her kids while they are away...hmmmmmm.
A few segments later, September tells her mother Paulie that a "dude" asked her out on a date. Since she is only 15 and has no idea of the particulars about this guy other than he is a 2 years ahead of her in high school, Paulie deferred to Brady to make the final decision whether September can go on her date or not.

| Rosemary not feeling the love from Brady |
It was interesting to see how he really cared about September. I was glad that he did finally relent and allowed her to go out with her date and his family for dinner. But why did Brady need to cancel his night with Rosemary just so he could be with Paulie when September came home from her date? For heaven's sakes, it wasn't like Rosemary lived miles away!
Needless to say, Rosemary was not very happy - and she had every right to be upset. Brady never did explain why it was so important that he be at Paulie's house. It almost seemed like he would rather be ANYWHERE as long as it wasn't with Rosemary.
Oh yeah, and September got home early at 9:00pm.
Okay, so now we come to the Nonie's anniversary trip with Brady. All I have to say is, they've got some weird looking Bed and Breakfasts in Utah. I mean, really, an actual outhouse in the room?
Stopping at a restaurant for some good looking chow, Nonie decided to feel out Brady on the topic of having another baby. In her talking head she said she knows that in the past, financially speaking, they were not in a good place. But this is the present, and Brady agrees with her. He wants to have another baby with her, too!
Surprise, surprise! That TLC money must have taken a big financial load off his shoulders!
The Bed and Breakfast was the weirdest set up I've ever seen, I mean, an outhouse? In the room? And a skunk? Did Brady have to shoot for food in the room too?
Utah is weird...

| Brady: This is where the magic happens, baby! |
And then the "sex" talk between Nonie and Brady. Were the subtitles really that necessary? I think we get it, thank you very much!!!
Then Nonie gets this sanctimonious Robyn Sullivan Brown attitude when she explains how her decision to have another baby will impact her fellow sisters. You see, having a baby " is a very physical manifestation of a sexual relationship." she tells us.
This MUST be printed in the AUB Becoming A Sister Wife Handbook with Pictures. I wonder if it's on Kindle yet.
Bottom line is, Nonie is anticipating having lots and lots and lots and lots of sex. You can see it in her eyes. You can read it on her face. And she knows her sisterwives are going to resent her, a lot. Which I have a feeling gives her a great deal of pleasure. Or as she said " it's throwing in their face that, hey, every night we're going to be having sex."
Isn't she just a charming person? If I were Paulie I'd be checking Nonie's purse and medicine cabinet for contraceptives cuz this B**** is going to drag this out as long as she possibly can.
Which now brings me to another point. Brady's insistence that Rhonda quits her job. Now he tells her it's because "he's worried" that she may be over extending herself with taking care of her children and possibly an adoptive child (which will not happen if they stay in Utah). Rhonda became visibly upset because her job is the only thing that keeps her sane. Or as she told Brady "...I want a little more [financial] security...It's a good job! Socially...I really enjoy talking with adults, and honestly...I don't get to see you that much!"
OUCH!!
And imagine how much less she'll see of Brady once he starts working on impregnating Nonie! Oh yeah, this is a train wreck in the making!
Call me Cynical (Ms Jinx if you're nasty) but isn't this an ever so convenient a conversation to have? With Rhonda freed up from her job, she'll have more time to...you got it...help Nonie out with her kids if she does get knocked up!
And I wonder whose idea it was for Paulie to go speak with Rhonda about quitting her job? Hmmmm....

| Tom: How about dating other species, Dad? Is that OK? |
Brady's group meeting with his teens about dating was a waste of time. Of course, Brady will not change his dating rules because the teens did not come up with a good enough argument to persuade him to change (sounds just like someone majoring in philosophy). But when he asked them if they have any questions, Rosemary's son Tom asked his dad if it was OK to date other species. Now that was a very cute moment. I think I'm in love with that kid!
We also get a glimpse of what Brady is all about. He tells his daughter it's okay to marry into a plural marriage, but he cautions her to "...make sure ... that it's a really good man. A man who has the same progressive ideas as me...I want my children to have the same access to free thought, of equality and symmetry and racial equality, gender equality, marriage equality. All these things that many times are lost within the polygamous community."
Yep, those things sure are lost, especially when it's a tenet of the polygamous belief system not to believe in marriage, gender and racial equality, for example. I just don't believe those things will ever change, but man, what a great PR statement he's just made. And to be frank, I don't think a lot of monogamous families would meet Brady's lofty criteria, either.
But it sure sounded good, didn't it?
