Kody Brown and his Kodettes: Just one happy family plus the Original Three TLC |
Well, it's official. We get another fantabulous season of Sister Wives to watch. Now, c'mon, stop yer bellyachin' as my grandma would say. You know watching this show is like watching a trainwreck about to happen. And yeppers, my Living Room will be open as usual for all you snarkers out there who can't help but comment on the absurdity of it all.
But I have a bone to pick.
Like, TLC we aren't stupid ya know. It's obvious all has NOT been well in the cul-de-sac for quite some time now. The last season focusing on the supposed family saga necessitating a quickie divorce between those former lovebirds Meri and Kody was, well, all for "the show". Taken straight from the final season of HBO's Big Love, I might add. And those of us who were fans of that epic yet flawed series, remember that restructuring of Bill Hendrickson's family units by divorcing one wife to marry another (for adoption purposes...sounds familiar?) did not work out so good for big husband Bill Hendrickson in the end.
Whatever you do, Kody, do NOT re-sod your neighbor's front lawn without asking first.
Back to reality, this new season may be an epic one. The last few seasons Kody has not been given a heroes edit, at all. And don't get me started on the new legal Mrs Kody Brown and her overly enthusiastic need to be present while Meri, obviously suffering physical as well as mental distress, tearfully signed the dotted line ending her legal marriage of almost 25 years in that attorney's office.
The fact that Kody and Robyn married a few months later, and then took a semi-secret vacay to Hawaii, which the new Missus claimed SHE paid for (no doubt out of her grocery allowance like Christine was told to do when she needed money to visit her ill father) as a gift to Kody.
Uh huh...just like the other present Robyn gave Kody, mainly getting preggers shortly after being made legal. Isn't it amazing how things worked out the way they did?
Kody and his Kodettes believe a marriage license is just a piece of paper. But when Kody was asked in the Tell All now that Robyn's kids from her previous marriage were now legally Brownettes, would he be divorcing Robyn to remarry Meri, Kody in his best Geico caveman look, answered "Why would I do that?"
Because it's just a piece of paper, you doofus. Isn't that what polygamist believe, what you and Meri both said during the show? Legal marriage is man's law, spirtual marriage is God's law, God's law supercedes man's law, etc etc etc? So why hang on to that piece of paper?
We don't need Kody and Robyn trying to explain why they hang on so tenaciously to a legal piece of paper that symbolizes man's law.
It's because it DOES make a difference. Robyn will never let go of that legal document. Not while Sister Wives is giving her enough income to keep her McMansion in that Las Vegas cul-de-sac safe from foreclosure.
Meri knows this now, all too well.
A happy "spiritual" wife doesn't seek companionship with a stranger on social media. A happy "spiritual" wife doesn't tell her fellow sisterwives one day she may be gone. Indeed, a happy sisterwife doesn't leave incriminating voice mails and send questionable selfies, including a regrettable picture featuring a banana to a "man" who turned out to be a catfishing woman.
And through out the mess of the last two years, starting with Meri's divorce and still continuing with the catfish saga that doesn't seem to want to end, TLC wants the viewing audience to believe all is well in the cul-de-sac.
Well, guess what, TLC. We aren't stupid.
And thanks for that delightfully awful picture of Kody and his Ko-dypendents.
Question of the Day...What does desperation look like?
Yeppers, when your reality show is days away from the season premiere, a sisterwife not only was catfished but continues to be publicly humiliated with voice mails and banana pics, while the new legal Mrs Kody Brown's former friend, confidant, and overall junk yard dog defender of all things Robyn has gone rogue in the worse possible way, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Which in this case is...ROAD TRIP!!!

Of course, as the legal wife Robyn stepped away from her busy day to tweet this acknowledgement to Kody and Meri. #BeAfraidBeVeryAfraid

And then there's bonus daughter Aspyn, who proves she is still Kody's little acorn sharing some similar traits with her dear old dad...
Currently crying because there is no elementary education degree that doesn't require student teaching. Help 🙏— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) April 21, 2016
Yep, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going...and changes their major. Nice...#TakingTheEasyWayOut, #BeatsFlunkingOut, #WhoMajorsInElementaryEdWithoutKnowingStudentTeachingIsARequirement
I changed my major to Human Services, but still have to perform well in the Elementary Ed classes that I am currently taking.— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) April 24, 2016
