Ya know, when life gives you lemons....yeah, yeah yeah.
So far this season of Sister Wives has been a bunch of lemons. Boring repetitive lemons.
But somebody in the Brown Kamp has cooked up some lemonade for the Sister Wives audience to savor.
In case you haven't heard, Mariah popped the question to her girlfriend, Audrey!
 |
But of course I have a few questions. Why the delay of almost a month for the official announcement? Why was the announcement made 24 hours after the most romantic day of the year had passed?
Since Mariah proposed, does this mean Kody doesn't have to worry about paying for the wedding? Just keeping it real, folks.
Oh wait, I just remembered Janelle proposed to Kody. And Janelle obviously wears the proverbial pants in that parental unit. Never mind. Kody will just make Meri pay.

And doesn't Audrey look surprised. Or frightened. Or relieved. Or all three. Well done, Mariah!
Hmmm....I wonder if under certain circumstances, would Mariah bring other women into her marriage? Like her bro-in-law Mitch rather clumsily explained to the camera in last week's show, when Aspyn announced her marriage plans?
That show I would watch in a heartbeat!
Fingers crossed for no mentions of catfish, or Lizzie's tonight. Maybe Kody will explain why the sudden need to escape his Plymouth Rock. Did I just hear Kody say he wanted to run for political office in Utah?
Just like Bill in Big Love, right Kody? Or Papa Joe Darger, perhaps.
Whatever. Tonight's episode starts in an hour. So.....

Gird up your loins, y'all!
Sister Wives is on the snark menu in
My Living Room Tonight!!!
So what if the Browns blocked you on Twitter!
Let's be the bigger person!
Remember, the Show needs us for Ratings!(which had the show dropping from #6 to #11 in ratings. YIKES!!)
LET THE SNARKING BEGIN!!!

You were bullied and rushed by KRODY! UGH
ReplyDeleteI honestly do not believe what Kody is spewing right now. He RAN away from Utah and now he wants to run away from Vegas. The Original Three wives should just let him GO!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is Robchyn as always that has Kody doing her bidding. She doesn’t want Brianna to start high school. She acts surprised at announcement... all lies.
Delete"The best way to back up my argument is to create a business-like presentation." No, the best way to back up your argument is to actually have a decent argument with evidence and reasoning. If the argument is crap, it's still crap, no matter how "business-like" it is presented.
ReplyDeleteThis man is delusional.
It seems like my DVR missed the first 10 or 15 minutes of the show because I only have 40 some minutes recorded and I missed this presentation thing you guys are talking about. I started watching when the women were packing for the trip and Kody was pretending to have responsibilities at each of their houses. Was it just a one hour show this week?
DeleteCJ,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right again !!!
Kodyworld is in dire need of a B-12 shot of viewer interest....and Mariah and her ladylove have delivered the goods.
Maybe....!!
True, Kody's kids have been raised and trained to join the grifter/attention routine to be the 2nd generation of TV Plyggy freebies via media attention and payouts. No doubt Mariah has already signed for gossip mag exclusive (People, US etc) contracts and TLC will capitalize on the *wedding* a whole year from now. But thanks to CJ we now know that the ratings numbers are grim enough that a miracle SURELY IS needed to secure another season.
Can we dare hope that the elusive, seldom seen Logan and his lovely girlfriend will be the rare exceptions in the Brown grifter DNA??
I really hope so since it is clear that his sisters all well into it with TV-paid engagements, showers and marriages... and by Maddie's example, pregnancies.
But will Mariah's marriage really generate the salivating viewer hook that they all expect?? Not sure since unveiling it at the women's march in DC was a bit too canned, too predictable...too anti-climatic! It's kind of done now....balloons have deflated, cameras have left..."day is done...."
Just not *news* that can guarantee ratings. Not in 2020.
Sadly, I do agree with the comments that Aspyn's husband is quite possibly a Plygg in stealth mode. Aspyn has that adoring and glazed-eye demeanor around him. Sigh...too bad.
Yes, let's hope the TLC elves have been kind and we don't hear one freaking word about catfish or B&B. As it is we are going to be entertained (tortured) with yet another Kody-Idiot diatribe of why he must relocate and how he is soooooo conflicted and martyred.
so....On to the SNARK-tank.....
Yea when Mariah first came out, I thought I would've loved to watch her wedding and follow her story. But she has become one of the most unlikable of the adult children. So I don't see myself tuning in to watch her wedding.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYou're right. Logan & Michelle will probably be the exception because Michelle already stated on Twitter that their wedding will not be filmed. They want their privacy.
DeleteIf I recall, Mariah was the biggest polygamy proponent among the kids and was going to practice it. I wonder if she will follow in her father’s footsteps.
DeleteAlso, you know what would make the decision to move easier? Only having to convince 1 spouse. Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteWe are struggling with trust in our family -no kidding Kody you don’t show respect for Meri so why should the others ?
ReplyDeleteOn the bad days I wonder why we are in plural marriage ? Ha ha ha
After all these years they still have issues. And for the tv cameras so phony! That word catfish and Meri place in utah
DeleteDid he say that???!!?? That's awesome. Now let's admit there are more bad days than good.
DeleteTrust that Meri won’t throw you a dig or throw the other wives under the bus on camera. That’s what kody is untrustfull if. What will meri say that makes kody look bad. The cameras have always been their truth serom
DeleteI'm guessing those trust exercises and sessions with Therapist Nancy haven't worked. LOLZ
DeleteWhy are these women *pretending* to be shocked, upset....as if it is an earth-shattering premise.
ReplyDeleteWe already saw this in Lehi several years ago....!!
This is SUCH a scripted show....this crap on right now is proof-positive.
They are all performing tonight.
The editing is all over the place. I want to know why he has a board with "Population Affordability" on it. What the heck does that have to do with anything they are talking about???
ReplyDeleteOh god..not ANOTHER wedding dress shopping expedition.
ReplyDeleteWhy TLC....just WHY?
"Mitch and DAD" wanted me to be covered up.....
ReplyDeleteUggh...nauseating !!
Christine says, "Aspyn wants to please her DAD and Mitch"...
Hmm....there's a harbinger of things to come.. yikes !!
His hair is very lion like. Lol
ReplyDeleteI would honestly be so p***ed if i moved to another state to be near my parents in order to get help an support from them with kids and school, and then they decide to up and leave the state the same year just after I bought my first house...Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteis this what maddie did?? i dont get cable just following along here
DeleteYes, Milo. Maddie moved very close to the cul-de-sac but now that Caleb found a job in one of the Carolinas (maybe North Carolina?) she's in the process of moving once again.
DeleteThe way he was in the beginning out of breath.....seemed like he was a very busy guy!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteVery true... out of breath, sweating and crazy eyes.
DeleteWelfare housing have many units beside each other Robin. I think!
ReplyDeleteThis whole season he has reminded us that he has to provide for Ariella Mae, if that means the other kids and wives have to suffer So.Be.It. Robochin is over him but he’s not over trying to please her
ReplyDeleteI agree This move is for Robin. She has Kody's ear every night and the money is quickly drying up. Kody and Robin cannot afford a move and new life without the equity in the other three wives houses. She is the only wife who wants the move. Mr and Mrs Brown want to get their hands on Mary, Janelle's, and Christines assets. And Yes....far too many mentions about the old age Kody and the younger children of his and Robin keeps coming up. These wedding are getting old.
DeleteAgreed. Robyn is definitely wanting to move. She doesn’t like the school the kids are going to and it seems that her kids won’t be impacted like the others. It’s also interesting that Christine is afraid that disagreeing with Kody will mean that he will emotionally withdraw from her. The emotional abuse in this family is outrageous.
DeleteAgreed!!! Robchyn is always the desire behind anything Kody gets hyped up for...have you ever seen him excited about anything the other wives want? Could care less about Meri B and B even to the point of denying on camera funds. Could care less when poor Janelle balls her eyes out about finite resource and takes a longer nap instead of job hunting. And sad sack Christine sank deeper in depression begging for attention and didn’t even get the money to visit her father before death. Remember when Meri was the alpha female? Well apparently Robchyn really gets allot of attention with her thousand dollars worth of Victoria secret “ long legged” pants. 😂🤣 because it seems she can move heaven and earth with her wants.
DeleteOmg “ angel on the wall” that’s it...it gets the proceeds of house sales into the general family fund. God forbid the original three wives could gain equity in the homes in their names. You hit the nail on the head. Redistribute equity into legal Mrs Browns account. Genius.
DeleteIt’s clear that Kody doesn’t care that Janelle is 100% against moving her kids after seeing the emotional damage the move to Vegas caused the older kids. He doesn’t care that Christine fasted and prayed and came to the conclusion that she didn’t want to move because of her kids. He doesn’t care that the Brown children (except for Robyn’s) seem to be thriving and happy in Vegas. He doesn’t care that Maddie moved close by and that the other adult children are close to Vegas. All that matters is what Robyn thinks.
DeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced now that this new move to AZ was/is a last gasp attempt to stay on the air. In all these discussions, they all sound too "prepped" too coached... including the camera crew's questions inserted on the screen all designed to sound spontaneous.
ReplyDeleteBy their own counting out loud this epp, they have moved MANY times.
So how is this time any different or nerve-twitching?
And this Seattle road trip is a huge YAWN.
They need one of them to not come back from Seattle.
Now that would be a cliff-hanger!!
I was falling asleep. Thank goodness a friend called me and some me up. Otherwise I would have missed Seattle. You know, Amused, the last time the wives went on a trip Truely wound up going into kidney failure. I was on the phone so I assume Robyn arranged for a proper nanny to care for her children, instead of Kody this time.
DeleteMay be Robyn hoped the other wives wouldn’t go and she’s have kody to herself who knows with these people
DeleteYes, given that "DAD" was onsite when that child's health downgraded that far in full view, even in view of the cameras that were there to film good ol' Dad babysitting, one would readily think that counting on Kody for anything regarding supervising kids would be a non-issue.
DeleteTrying to be kind here....
Just have to wonder why the producers haven't realized that this particular crew of women are just not good or believable for these silly *fashion* road trips. "Real Housewives"....they are NOT !!
Seriously, these are the same women who had to read several years' worth of snark comments to figure out that their long-sleeved t-shirts worn under tight tank tops, which then morphed into baby-doll tops replacing the tank tops were not the most fetching attire for TV stars. Certainly no mystery there why some have embraced the LuLuRoe "grab and wear" non-fashion look.
At least Robyn has Mindy (who's been with the family for years--is she the 5th secret Wife, or what?) to take care of her kids while she is away. And Aspyn took care of Christine's kids.
DeleteAmused, CJ, the best thing about the Seattle trip was seeing Robchyn in a big witch hat accentuating that witch-y-poo chin. Priceless. It was worth every penny of my cable payment this month.
DeleteJanelle gets nervous and scared with dancing, speaking, child-rearing, etc, etc, etc...
ReplyDeleteAnd now it's *hats*.....yes, hats.....hats are scary !
Damn, she really is a mess !!
...she never mentioned toasters, however, so she has one up on Christine there...
DeleteHa!! True, Spock!
DeleteJanelle seems to be permanently in a state of embarrassment. Dancing, hats, sexuality, parties, confrontation...it goes on and on. I’m surprised she isn’t embarrassed about only getting 1/4 of a man and living as a polygamist wife??? Why is that not embarrassing?
DeleteGood point Lisa!
DeleteIn MrSpock's part of the country hats are worn of the ski cap variety---those probably would not work for a wedding...However, MrSpock wonders how Mitch's mom can support herself with the hat business as hats still are worn very seldom in the U.S. Mitch's mom makes nice hats, however.
ReplyDeleteDoes Meri ever take off that denim jacket? In my mind, it just smells so funky, and not in a good way!
ReplyDeleteNo ! It’s against the lady truck driver code.
Deletemeri likes "edge" remember??? in her hats and in her tiny jackets and her catfish
DeleteYou ladies are so backwards in some things. Hannah is a very independent cool wonan! Christine just shut your mouth!!
ReplyDeleteJanelle realized and mentioned several times that she loves Hannah independent lifestyle and could see herself happy that way. But Robychin and Christine were quick to chime in and say that it's seems lonely and they wouldn't want to live that way.
DeleteOh yeah, Christine and Robchyn’s neediness and identify is still very much connected to being Kody’s wives. Hence the lonely comments. 🤢 Kody is so not worth it.
DeleteDo we know what her husband is doing now? They said that she never lived plural marriage, and that SHE left HIM 20+ years ago. But she clearly didn't seem to want to discuss WHY she left. Was it because he wanted to live plural marriage and she didn't? She kept saying that she grew up around, and she felt it was something she HAD to do, but didn't like having that pressure. So I wonder if the pressure to be a plural wife is what made her leave? I feel like there was either a lot cut out of that table discussion or she just plain didn't want to get into it with them.
DeleteSometimes our businesses cost money ?!? What is he talking about ?!?
ReplyDeleteI doubt very seriously Kody knew what he was talking about.
DeleteAll Kody was interested in that bit was that the camera was on him.
DeleteIn which case, he said whatever sounded good in his tiny, self-centered mind.
If a "business" is costing you money it is no longer a business. It is a hobby.
DeleteAspen and Maddy have a very sweet relationship, the couch scenes about the dress were very cute.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice miss Robbin wearing a gold Tiffany necklace in the business presentation scene?
Is Ysabel out of high school? Her name is not coming up as one of the kids to worry about with the move. What about Janelle's young daughter. Kody talks about economic situation. Why doesn't he just say balloon payment is due.
ReplyDeleteKody wouldn't mention it because he has to keep up the facade that he's a savvy businessman. But something is causing him to think he needs to run away again, even if it means walking away from the cul-de-sac.
DeleteYes, Anon... it’s like the younger kids don’t even matter, I guess they will adapt without all the teenage complaining, since most of them were home schooled back in Lehi it’s likely this school is the only one they have ever attended. 5 years is half their lives.
DeleteJanelle - Kody and I were never really good for a lot of years...
ReplyDeleteCJ I think this is the first confirmation of this? But to recap at the beginning Meri and Kody were in a bad place and bringing Robyn was supposed to fix it. Bring Robyn broke Christine...ergo Kody hasn’t had good marriages with any of the wives except Robyn ?
It was very telling that Janelle said the first 20 years of a plyg marriage likely wouldn’t be good. LOL. If a relationship sucks for 20 years, that’s NOT a good thing.
DeleteHa! Yep Anon 8:38, this is the first time I've heard Janelle say that. But isn't it telling how she feels about the first 20 years of a plural marriage. Yep, after birthing those six babies in rapid succession, I suppose not being pregnant with Kody's spirit baby would be a holiday.
DeleteIt’s very sad that all those beautiful babies didn’t get to arrive to a happy marriage or mom.
DeleteI remember hearing that part of the episode and thinking "that is NOT how a marriage is supposed to be. If it is that bad for that long, something is seriously wrong!" :(
DeleteUggh and if they believe they will be together for eternity in the afterlife, then that's an eternity of horribleness. I'd be getting myself unsealed after a year of being unhappy. Yes, marriage is hard (been married for over 3 decades) and you have your ups and downs. That said, if it's bad from day 1 and continues to be bad for 20 years, there's definitely a problem.
DeleteChristine put me over the edge in a whole bunch of ways this week! A double "big dill" at the end of the show meant a double-shot of tequila for me! Ouch! Not going to play that drinking game any more when I have to work the next day! LOLZ
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, Christine claiming Kody is a good leader and a good man? Puleeze. Then she's beligerent with Hannah about the plyggy lifestyle? Not cool Christine. Then while the Moms are away visiting Hannah, you know it's Aspyn taking care of her siblings, not Kody. It's telling that Aspyn is referred to a "sweet" as in "keep sweet". She was so worried about her wedding dress not being covered up enough for Mitch and for Kody. That's so sad. Hope she finds some semblance of independence one day.
Oh my. I literally fell out of my chair when Christine came up with saying Kody was both a good leader and man. Three words Christine (if you're reading this)...chili cheese nachos. And of course, it takes a good leader and a good man to lead each of the original 3 wives into filing for bankruptcy. One at a time.
DeleteCJ, you mean good men don’t say they are disgusted by their wife? I think that is probably a plyg thing. I mean they have so many to choose from they really don’t need to keep them all happy, right. We have watched Christine be out right abused mentally, persecuted and shunned for not welcoming Robchyn with open arms. Good man my A$$
DeleteBOOM!!!!! CJ drop the mic!!! Lead them into bancruptcy one wife at a time I love it
DeleteTLC has tried to scrub that episode from its archives. On their app they recently had every episode available to watch, Hulu and Netflix also at one time or another had Sisterwives and after watching every single episode ive never been able to find the Nacho Incident. There is a clip on YouTube, that's the only proof of its existence that I can find.
DeleteYep Nunya Beeswax, the Natalie Morales Tell All episode (her second one with the Browns) which focused on their book Becoming Sister Wives no longer exists in its entirety. Morales brought up points Kody obviously was not prepared to answered and he came across as a non emphatic jerk with a chip on his shoulder who refused to apologize to Christine because he didn't do anything wrong. And it showcased Robyn attempting to explain why Kody and Meri courted a teenage girl....which occurred years before Robyn married Kody. She wasn't there, so how would she know what happened?
DeleteKody is delusional. Who does a business presentation with poster boards that have been professionally printed? Has he not heard of PowerPoint? Surely his time could have been better spent connecting with his children, doing things around the house, working on his relationship with Meri? More importantly, why is he presenting to his wives? Totally weird. He is also out of breath and sweating profusely. He considers himself to be an accomplished businessman, but can’t get through a presentation to his wives without sweating, stammering and looking like a jackass. His premise for moving is that everyone is doing well, they all have nice houses, the kids are happy—am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteOMG- Christine saying Kody was ‘sneaky’ as if his presentation was so subtle and clever.
DeleteOnly a doofus would still use poster board for presentations. That was so 1980's. And the handouts. Did he tell his wives to take notes? If that's the best Kody and TLC can come up with, maybe it's time for the show to be canceled for lack of content. All I see is Kody left boring Lehi for the entertainment capital of the world - Las Vegas - and now he's "leading" his family to laid back, sleepy cold Flagstaff. I shudder to think if Kody and Krew made Vegas boring, what they will do to poor Flagstaff. I mean, how many times can you visit the Grand Canyon, or look at the snow?
DeleteHe jumps from town to town, state to state, woman to woman, fake job to fake job...he is the ADHD king.
DeleteI’m only 10 minutes in and I want to throttle Kody. He is basically saying it doesn’t matter how much he ruins the lives of the older kids by pulling them out of school and taking them away from their friends. He needs to ensure he has $$ for his (and Robyn’s) younger kids.
ReplyDeleteAZ is plyg tolerant: Colorado City. Flagstaff is a resort town and more expensive than other areas in AZ. Flag to Parowan Utah (Meri's B&B) is a 5 hour drive. Can't justify how much the family spends on luxury housing when they won't pay for teenage daughter to have necessary surgery (and I think that is why Kruddy with his crazy hair is against it). Robyn obviously the dominant wife but seems Christine is the most true, sincere about the doctrine. Routing for Janelle to get a normal job, as she had in the beginning. (is that possible?) Family is fascinating but spare me any more overly long trying-on-hats scenes although interesting to see an escaped plyg wife living happily in a studio.
ReplyDeleteYou missed the other huge polygamist colony in Arizona (and just down the road from Colorado City)...Centennial Park. Huge mansions and single wide trailers all in one community. Oh, and shipping containers used for housing.
DeleteOh, I wish we would get a Polygamy, USA update on creepy Crawley and the young Jessop tri-ouple and the container builds.
DeleteI am at a loss to figure out how they can afford to buy the new property and rent houses in Flagstaff without selling any of their Las Vegas houses. It's not as if they have a good credit history. I know they get a lot of freebies from stores, restaurants and wedding venues for appearing on the show, but still! From what I understand, they aren't making nearly the money they were years ago. So what gives?
ReplyDeleteLet's hope Kody has a viable long term plan in mind. Otherwise, if those McMansions in Vegas don't sell soon, he is S.C.R.E.W.E.D. And if TLC pulls the plug on the SW, it will be interesting to see if Robyn stays or flys back to her McMansion in Vegas if it is still off the market.
DeleteI thought they took a big pay cut also to get another season, last season. Maybe that was just gossip? I just don’t see any type of revenue other than TLC and free cupcakes.
DeleteI live in Vegas now and this was just on the news the other day...https://www.ktnv.com/news/more-homes-are-for-sale-but-many-are-still-finding-it-difficult-to-buy-in-las-vegas-metro
DeleteAre houses in Flagstaff that much cheaper than Vegas? Does anyone actually know if it even makes any financial sense to move?
DeleteFlagstaff real estate is more and the cost of living is higher in Flagstaff Rents are higher in Flagstaff and gas and groceries. ive lived in Phoenix for 4o years and travelled to Flag to get out of the heat. Its always cost more
DeleteThanks Milo... then moving to a more expensive place makes little sense. I could understand if the Vegas market had gone up and they were able to buy in a less expensive market thus pocketing any gains they made (or using those gains to get out of debt), but Kody has once again proven himself to be delusional. Those women need to wake up and quit doing what he tells them to do.
DeleteI think I caught a glimpse of Dayton/David with the exact same do! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWHY?????? I guess I KNOW why, but still..Shudder
I would bet that Kody had producer help with those poster boards.
ReplyDeleteHell, I would bet that the producers prepared them and gave them to him to then, with all of Kody's famed flourish, and in his best Lord and Master voice.... Present them....TO HIS WIVES"....WTH !!
You know, the women he allegedly has slept with (on and off) for the last 25 years. And lo and behold, the wives were ALL were SO surprised !!
**Oh sure, Right.....and I am a closet Kody seeker.**
That whole drama was beyond ludicrous and lame.
But wait, there may be trickery afoot.
So why oh why would the producers and Kodyworld have concocted such a glaringly transparent ruse....again ??
Hmm...maybe because....
1- The Brown Saga in Vegas is not bringing the needed ratings. Boring, redundant epps have slowly eroded from within like a termite infestation.
A fix is in order if the Kody Show is to survive.
2- the balloon mortgages were coming due....coming due on mediocre over-priced, under-finely constructed houses which are emptying out of kids.
A cheaper, smaller living arrangement was needed...fast.
3- Sobbin saw the $$-handwriting on the wall and most likely she held very private seminars for Kody so that he inescapably "got it" ....
Sobbin fretted about about how much of the family $$$ WON"T be there for her two Kody-kids down the road...Especially IF the show has finally run out of gas(correction, make that BS)...and there are no more TLC checks or perks to count on..Unless something radical was done.
(Another reason why despite Janelle's protests, she went to AZ.
No Brown wants to give up the easy TLC $$)
So...
Another move to smaller quarters to save money....Important
Make the move somewhere with possible new story lines...Very important
Another move to get more seasons of TLC $$...*MOST* important
Especially if you are Kody Brown, narcissist extraordinaire, dedicated and addicted to having a camera record your every self-stroking, inane thought.
??????
Yep Amused. That's pretty much the state of things in Kody World right now. Moving Robyn into a million dollar rental and buying Christine a $500K home in Flagstaff probably makes sense to a delusional Kody. Until that TLC money stops and the cameramen take their toys and go home. There sits Kody, alone in a snowdrift in Flagstaff, while Robyn runs back to Vegas and the warmth of her McManse.
DeleteIt’s interesting what they don’t film that would actually be interesting to watch. We never see any of their religious services (I think the last one was when Robyn talked about her purity being stolen). What is their day-to-day life like? Does he have family dinners with each of his families? There’s very little about the kids’ activities. All the interactions between the adults seem to be organized meetings. Do any of them just hang out. Do any of the other wives help Robyn with the younger kids? Why does she need Mindy with so many other wives and older kids around, plus Kody? They seem to be four separate families living in a cul-de-sac who happen to share a husband. The show only shows scripted, organized, fabricated activities and really doesn’t give any insight into their real lives.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, that has been life as "usual" in the cul-de-sac. Really, TLC should rename Sister Wives to Kody's World because that's what it is. We see very little of family interactions or the wives non-scripted interactions any more. And you're right. With 3 sister wives and their older children, why does Robyn still need to employ her cousin Mindy to take care of her youngest 2 children with Kody? And no, I'm not buying it's because Mindy has a degree in child development either.
DeleteCould Mindy be the fifth wife? Kody is definitely not sleeping with Meri or Janelle. Christine won’t be adding to his celestial family and not sure if Robyn will. Perhaps Kody will receive a revelation about Mindy. Surely God is paying attention to Kody’s sexual needs.
DeleteI totally think Mindy is being condioed to join the cult of Kody. Robchyn keeps her around to try and control the situation and so she (Robchyn) and Kody can run off together all they want. Robchyn has 3 teenagers to help with their baby brother and sister and she has a bazillion bonus kids to nanny...only thing that makes sense to me is for Robchyn to offer up Mindy as a 5th. In my opinion Robchyn would see her as a breeder and not much competition.
DeleteThat was “ conditioned” to join the cult
DeleteSorry I'm late replying but you make an excellent point: Is Mindy being conditioned to join Kody World as the 5th?
DeleteFirst of all, she's Robyn's cousin, so she's keeping it "in the family" so to speak. Second, Robyn's already set up the hierarchy of Master Wife and Housekeeper/Nanny so she's still in control of Kody access. Third, as you mentioned, Robyn would "see her as a breeder and not much competition." You've hit the nail squarely on it's pointy bald head!
Total win/win for Robyn!
Does anyone else notice that we see NO children anymore?
ReplyDeletePoor Ysabel and her back or if you are having a wedding are the only kids we have seen for years now. It would be a little more interesting to me if we saw some day to day family interaction. But then again we might see and hear how the kids really feel about there father. Can’t risk that.
Kody caught wind of the fact people like the kids and noy him and got jealous
DeleteI get the feeling some of them are over the whole thing and don't want to be shown on camera as much. Out of all of those kids some of them have to be introverted and not liking the attention. As an introvert myself, I can relate. I don't like being the center of any kind of attention.
DeleteHey TLC, the fake move Exodus crap is just like all the other plots that have been played and retreaded for seasons now. Thank goodness the jerk didn’t say it, cold to all the kids and we have a flash back of all the kids crying their eyes out.
ReplyDeleteIf you want better ratings TLC...bring on Mindy as the 5th wife or better yet a hot 22 year old. We all want to see Robchyn flip her lid. Have Meri bring a lesbian lover home. Have Janelle pack her peanut butter Fritos and move back to the teepee. And just let Christine just blabber away about how phenomenal the new wife is as she updates her luxury SUV and preaches how great polygamy is...”for the family”...”not just the man”...”she wants the family”
Anyone else notice that when the 4 wives were all sitting at Janelle's table, and they started discussing what just happened with Kody (before they start talking about going to Seattle). Janelle was all "Kody will talk to you (points to Christine), and then he will talk to me, and then he will talk to me again, and then he will talk to you (points at Robyn)." She does this for a few more seconds and notice that she NEVER points to Meri and NEVER says that Kody talks to her in turn. I found that very telling.
ReplyDeleteI totally noticed that Meri is no longer in the “wives club” , nope, he doesn’t go to Meri’s house or even talk to her. Any interaction is just for the show.
DeleteRobyn sure had a lot of expressions and faces she made during all of these conversations. And when she spoke Janelle put her face in her hands, She knows Robyn has considerable influense over Kody and that there will be no regard for her kids if what Robyn and Kody have conspired to do is move to Arizona. I still think Kody is somehow doing business in Arizona in the firearms business with a partner and that is why he wanted to move to Arizona. Our gun laws are not as strict and Kody attends gun shows here
ReplyDeleteThere was a great deal of chatter on blogs that Kody bought out/took over his competitor for that region (AZ) in the water goo stuff they sell - the "LIV" crappola. I don't know the lingo--Something about the downline! Was Kody in this guy's downline or maybe the other way around??! I think it's a good thing I don't understand the pyramid scheme terminology....
DeleteInteresting theory, Big Sky!
DeleteMilo, nothing would surprise me with the Browns. I'm just gonna sit back and watch it all implode into a big ole mess. And if the "business tycoon" has ventured back into the firearms business, perhaps he should keep in mind what happened his first time around in Wyoming.
DeleteCJ, what happened in Wyoming the first time around ?!
DeleteThere's a lot of multi-level marketing crap going on. I'm guessing none of their real jobs have panned out -- what happened to Christine and Janelle's real estate careers? I'm also crying bullshit on Meri being able to make enough for the down payment (plus enough to pay her mortgage and live day-to-day) on her clothes selling business. Why don't they ever mention that they are being paid very well for doing the show and their businesses are all flops?
Deletealso, I LOVE how Kody calls the equity in all the wives homes the families equity meaning Kodys equity lol and here i thought when they bought them and each wife had them titled in their own names i thought good for them they have a piece of security. As long as Kody dosnt insist on selling them!!!
ReplyDeleteI would be surprised if there was any equity in the homes, they all have new cars, vacation excessively and have FILLED those homes with junk. They were praying the market would go up and they could sell for more than they paid, a potential profit to be had. Maybe. Let’s see what happens. Does anyone remember home much they paid ?
DeleteAnon 7:25, they paid approximately between $400-450K for each McMansion, total of almost $1.8 million. That's a lot considering comparables in their area were around $300-350K. Not to mention the bare bones decorating, carpeting, etc. They overpaid for those huge barns if you ask me.
Deleteremember how important it was to them that they were altogether in the culdesac with the security gate??? no strangers could just wander in and take photos?? or bother them?? then Meri INVITES the cat fish nut case lady INTO the culdesac and her home LOLOLOLOLOL idiot
DeleteKody thinks he going to clear seven figures on all four homes. And he decides how its spent on homes somewhere else?? Meris was the most expensive at 447,000.00 the rest were just a few thousand dollars less
ReplyDeleteLove all the snarking, but honestly think Kody has mental health issues. The constant moving isn’t normal behaviour. He has dragged his wives and kids to so many different states. Blames the “exodus” from Utah on the authorities, but if they were truly worried, Meri wouldn’t have purchased a business there. The panicked, crazy look he had during the presentation was the look of someone with issues. His rationale for moving was nonsense and he appeared anxious and angry at the thought his wives would dare not do what he says.
ReplyDeleteIf any of the sister wives read this blog, I hope they get him help. He’s coming undone.
I was thinking the same exact thing! That many moves on how many years? I mean, My husband and I moved 5 times in 5 years, but there were extenuating circumstances and it wasn't because we wanted to. That's not supposed to be the norm. And now we have our hopefully "forever" home, and I never want to move again.
DeleteBut again, that many moves on how many years? Something's wrong...Did you see Robyn's face when she was listening to the other 3 wives list out the moves? Do you think it was an honest reaction and she honestly didn't know that they had moved that many times? I think it really freaked her out, lol!
Absolutely he looked like he was coming unhinged. He looked just like a cult leader--oh wait, he he is!
DeleteWell, in view that the show's ratings have been getting lower and lower each season, he has reason to look unhinged. The ratings for the 2/17/19 episode came in at #15. The week before was #11. Pathetic. Next episode maybe out of the top 20 altogether?
DeleteSince we are looking at footage from over a year ago, I would venture to guess TLC execs explained their expectations for approving another season. Las Vegas storyline was out, Kody moving family to another state was in. With a stern warning about keeping ratings up or else.
That "presentation" of Kody showed how terrible an actor he is. He was going for savvy businessman who crunched all the numbers to come to his conclusion to leave his Plymouth Rock and sellout while the real estate market was hot, but he came off as desperate, in over his head and quite a bit manic in his delivery.
The show failed in Las Vegas, so let's move it to Flagstaff. Smooth move.
He should have moved to St George UT.
CJ - Your explanation is spot on. If the show really wants to stay on the air, they need to stop these scripted meetings. If they truly are a family (though I have my doubts), there should be plenty of opportunity to just film them doing things together. This whole season has been a series of meetings at each of the McMansions where one of them has "big news" to share. The need more real moments where different family members are interacting. I guess they've run out of Big Love storylines to copy.
Delete`The Brown's should have spent some time in Flagstaff before plunking down 800,000 on land and 550,000.00 on a house for Christine and renting Robyn a million dollar house. The weather right now is quite snowy lol but it is expensive to live there and a very big change from Vegas
DeleteHe is a man responsible for a five year, interest only, non secured mortgage with a ballon payment(s) due with refinancing required or foreclosure. Foreclosure is spelled ....M O V E O U T O F S T A T E...flee, flee, run far far away. I’m pretty sure that is the only way these grifters got 4, $450k homes. Remember they were so broke they financed the $5.00 mini blinds in the house deals.
ReplyDeleteDoes Mitch remind anyone else of King Henry VIII? He looks like him to me, sans the wit and the charm. Aspen is plyg royalty from Christine's side, and supposedly Mitch is also. They both were lying when they said plygginess wasn't in their future. Mitch is a plyg meister, and I don't feel he really loves Aspyn. Such a shame. The girls certainly seem to marry creepy boys- it must be an escape route for them.
ReplyDeleteMariah's nuptials would be nice, except that she is even more unlikable than Mykelti, which is saying something. Bless Aubrey's heart, I feel for that young woman, for she's marrying a narcissistic personality, inherited from Kody, himself. This family is so messed up.
Amen to that! I feel the same about these girls grabbing onto any overweight, sloppy, round faced boy. In Maddie’s case, Caleb was a much older relative by marriage that I believe drinks a lot of beer. They seem to escape as soon as they reach age of concent. And Mariah is absolutely horrible. The B and B episode that she totally put her mom down about buying her dream...” It’s not my dream!” Well why would it be? She certainly fell directly out of the Kody/Meri tree a ripe little jerk.
DeleteAnd I totally agree that “sweet” Aspyn is wife #1 of many. I think Mitch is close to his siblings in polygamy and probably doesn’t approve of his mother’s free spirit. I mean he really wants Aspyn to be “ covered up” in wedding dress. To bad the old shiny gunny sack her mom was married in was cut apart or she could wear that.
Agreed, Lisa. My jaw dropped when Mariah made that thoughtless statement. Absolutely nasty piece of work she is. I really like Aspyn for her kind heart and visualized a much better future for her, but it seems she will pick polygamy at some point. She and Maddy were so cute in their sofa talks this week, and Aspyn looked gorgeous in her dress. So did Maddy when she got married, too.
DeleteYes, Anon, let’s not forget Aspyn has raised most of Her siblings. Remember when she and Mykelti moved out to their first apartment and Christine said she could not survive without Aspyn. Christine had to bring her mom in to help. And beautiful Aspyn was the one that broke down devestated about Truely’s kidney shut down. I had so much hope for her also because she had no mean streak as we see in others. She was involved and outgoing in her college life and I thought she would live a monogamous life once she went off to college. I know she expressed a possibility of church traditions but I thought once she got out on her own it would change as it appears it has, but alas she has hitched her wagon to a AUB star and that is why Christine is over the moon about this couple.
DeleteLisa, omg that sentence "She certainly fell directly out of the Kody/Meri tree a ripe little jerk" had me cracking up!! That made my day. I thought that because she was a lesbian she would be more sympathetic to the trap these polygamist women were raised in. But she seems to resent her mother while blindly praising her father. She is free to be herself and it turns out she isn't very nice.
DeleteAudrey's family is very screwed up. They have 4 children and all are emotionally damaged. One sister is a depressive anorexic, the other is extremely immature and the brother is super odd. Audrey's mom weigh over 300 pounds and Dad is a yes man. Known this family for years. Their home is filthy. Audrey didn't like Mariah much at first. She was too needy for her. But the tv stuff really appealed to her.
ReplyDeleteknowthem
Thanks for filling in some of the nuance and background. Wow, what a messed up home life for the kid.
DeleteWow, thanks for sharing, I do think Mariah and especially Aubrey are looking to get famous with LGBTQ community, Reality tv, maybe a spin-off lending itself to some type of social media influencers. Aubrey sure took the lead talking to Meri’s CF sister wife. They seem to interject themselves into most episodes for no apparent reason.
DeleteYes, that is very interesting insight. I also thought it was strange how Audrey took the lead with the Catfished person. It seems like Tony and Audrey are vying for starring roles in a Brown kid spinoff. Logan’s fiancé and Caleb seem not to be keen. Not sure about Mitch yet.
DeleteAspyn is just beautiful radiance and the entire clan is lucky to be associated with her; she is lovely and graceful. I think many young ladies will eventually approach her about joining the family. I wonder if she will hold out or not.
DeleteIt's sad to see what amounts to Christine giving away her power so much to Kody. I can understand trying to keep peace for the family, but the imbalance of too many wives makes it seem pathetic. And I've always rooted for Christine; the love she has for her kids comes across. She's the one of the four wives that I'd pick for a mom.
Kody's "Where we go one, we go all" presentation was weird, since he clearly had conversations with the wives beforehand. I am aware that he's pro 2nd amendment and I agree with that and some of the political views he's stated. The WWG1WGA community of "Q" supporters are talking about the little shout-out, which has also occurred on one of the CSI shows. Quite a few comments of disregard for the polygamy. Last episode, when the Browns were telling us that both Meri's and Kody's mothers each told their husbands to go find new wives to add to the family, because they were hot on polygamy and ready to try it out, Kody comments something like "well,yeah it seems like a natural thing of course, but is it religious?" To which we at this blog generally say-- "Bah! many species mate for life, one male and one female." I get that he points to lions and chickens as his 'other species natural order' role models, but come on. We will not be led down a maze of circular logic, here, Kody.
Mariah comes across as flippant. I bet they're all glad they spent so much money on a lib-tardy school which really honed that piece of attitude.
It is still irksome that funds were not allocated in a pro-rated type fashion to each of the wives according to the size of each individual household. Meri garnering the same size chunk of change as Janelle and Christine ('use your grocery money to go see your sick dad') has always seems ludicrous. I love that Aspyn is getting the most expensive of the weddings so far; she and Christine both deserve it. Kudos to Meri for saying to Aspyn "I am dedicated to doing whatever I can to make this dream come true for you", even if it was a way to stick it to Kody and the other wives for not supporting her Parowan house dream and not just to allocate resources to Aspyn and her wedding. And I love how class-act Aspyn notices this and brushes it off with "it's not THAT big of a deal". Robyn seemed sullen over it--made me wonder how much she spent on her wedding.
So, back to the 'where we go one, we go all" statement. On this I am with you Kody. For those of you who may not yet know, the BIGGEST SECRET in HISTORY is that there is an enormous global child trafficking and pedophilia ring that is being run for the benefit of the political and business elite, and the law enforcement and the media are complicit in a cover-up.
Wow Blue Gypsy. Just wow...
DeleteAnd bless your heart...
Lisa, I think your right about Mariah and Aubrey hoping for a spinoff show or to become social media influencers. Out of everyone on the show, I hope the most that they don't.
DeleteI actually think TLC is hoping to keep the show alive until at least one wife leaves. Then maybe they'll offer that one wife a spinoff. I also think they none of the wives have left because they are afraid of not being offered a spinoff show and losing that TLC income.
Blue Gypsy, I have always thought the same thing- they should split the family income based on household size. I get that it isn't fair to Meri since she wanted more kids but couldn't have them, but this lifestyle is supposed to "make each of them better." No? I personally wouldn't like that because I would just tell the other wives to use birth control or budget better, but then again I didn't choose to live that lifestyle. If the point of polygamy is to learn to be less selfish, jealous, greedy, and be part of this loving family, then it makes sense to make sure each member of that family gets their fair share (not just the wives).
Wow is right.
DeleteJoshua 3-4, esp. 3:10
Take the red pill.
The "bless your heart" platitude smacks of the insincerity that rolls down the hill from the perch of false wisdom.
DeleteIt actually conveys a sense of the naive in regard to the Revelatory times in which we live. There is a Luciferian agenda to the child trafficking pedophilia, and includes ritual abuse and the consumption of sacrificed individuals. It is disgusting and hard to believe and first. It is an evil, THE evil, that is right now being overcome in the world.
Pope Francis addressed this last Sunday, the 24th of February, at the close of a four-day summit on pedophilia, held in the Vatican. He said "I am reminded of the cruel religious practice, once widespread in certain cultures, of sacrificing human beings--frequently children--in pagan rites. The inhumanity of the worldwide phenomenon becomes even more serious and more scandalous in the church, because it is in contrast with its moral authority and its ethical credibility."
These abuses are not relegated to only the catholic church, but ever wonder how Rome co-opted the message of christ? Look up Paul 6 Audience Hall--in Vatican city--built in the early 70's, it looks just like a serpent--terrifying bronze sculpture behind the inside dais.
Fucking hell, is this Cynical Jinx's Living Room?
DeleteFuck off with your political bullshit fear mongering, Blue Gypsy. We're trying to have a snarkfest here about the Brown's.
yes, you.

A child's gender is defined by DNA. Gender is not something we decide. The only benefactors of this perverted ideology of gender choice are the drug companies. Those advocating gender modification in children are predators.
Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
The above language is shameful and is not something we use out loud on this site; here we are rather polite in our discussions of the show about the polygamist Brown family.
DeleteThe show concerns a family whose lifestyle is not the norm in the sociopolitical arena. This can segue into other areas of intellectual discussion concerning society and politics.
The "libtard? gtfo" person is clearly triggered, as evidenced by the foul language tirade, which questions if they know themselves.
I believe Kody knew and Robyn that they planned to re locate prior to Maddie and her family moving to Vegas to be closer to family. And Kody just did not give you know what about it
ReplyDeleteChristine could not suppress her plyg indoctrination when she interacted with Hannah. Her passive-aggressiveness was appalling. She hid among her sister wives in any outing or conversation with Hannah. She talked to Hannah like an outsider and after-thought when she mentioned the bridal shower. She brought up the conversation, "So you never wanted a sister wife," at lunch for the cameras and for the benefit of touting how great it is. But, because Christine's education, social skills and maturity are so stunted, her arguments were just repeating herself more loudly and dramatically and fake-pitying Hannah. She even tried to cut Hannah off when Hannah began to say that she liked herself - she couldn't understand or couldn't stand to hear it. I commend Hannah for her diplomacy and dignity through the exchanges. No wonder she limited her interaction to one lunch with alcohol and sent them on a Segway tour. All the sisterwives were completely rude to Hannah in her studio, laughing at the hats, but she got on camera in her studio, saying she loves to share her passion, while they were still clucking among themselves.
ReplyDeleteChristine really believes that polygamists are superior. She never declared Hannah "unsafe," or hid in a bathroom, even though her daughther's mother-in-law would have much more anti-polygamy influence than Christine's lobbyist-aunt. Hannah had already told Aspyn to buy the wedding dress she wanted (strapless), not the one that Kody or Mitch dictated, and she shot down any alterations to add sleeves. On the couch after the Seattle visit (and a safe distance away), Christine amped up her passive-aggressiveness saying, essentially, "I feel sorry for her that she hauls groceries and children up the stairs, but she's happy." And, she recited Hannah's background to skew the dychotomy as pro-polygamy.
Two final comments: Christine displayed her own flare for hats when she led the party to honor Kody for leading the family to the promised land (now Exodus, for convenience) and presented him with that Burger King crown. And, who is going to hire life coach Janelle, who's so afraid of hats that she wouldn't wear one to walk a few blocks down the street in a group of 5? I guess she won't be joining the Red Hat society.
Definitely we won't look for Janelle in the "Red Hats" of Flagstaff. Thanks Grifter Lives for your insightful comments on Christine.
DeleteThis move is all a financial shell game. Kody and dem financed their houses with interest only mortgages. So that keeps their mortgage payments low for a certain amount of years (typically 5-7 yrs) since they aren't paying down on the principal. Kody and his harem brought their houses in 2012 so yeah, if they went with a 7 year interest only mortgage, their time is up this year. Now they have to pay interest + principal, which in most cases raises the monthly payment exponentially. Ergo, this recent "we need to get the fuck up out of here for our financial stability" bullshit. Stop playing, you can no longer afford to live there.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that most the kids that were the most angry about the move were Janelle's.
Hey everyone!
ReplyDeleteLet's continue our discussions HERE.
Thanks.
The Kingston group out of Salt Lake recently made plea deals after scamming the us gov't in a $500 mil biodiessel scam.
ReplyDeleteApparently, it has been said that the 'leaders' were trafficking tweens and teens to Turkey (!) before being sent to their final destination.
It shows that this idea of child trafficking, like the nxivm case (in which keith reniere, the 'leader', was found guilty on 6 counts), is spreading through polygamy, since the flds have been convicted of child trafficking as well.
Remember how Christine, 'plyg royalty', when the young girl breading away from the flds described the pervy weird conditions, claimed "I never knew men could be such bastards."
And we were all like, are you effing kidding me? How insulated could christine have been to NOT have a clue? Or is she just dimwitted?!
Also, new bishop James Oler of the Bountiful (Canada) (the Blackmore group (?) will be sentenced next month for shipping girls across the border to TX.
ReplyDeleteSo, it's said that the Kingston group sent $134 mil to Turkdy. The scam company was called Washakie Renewable Energy (Utah/Idaho border).
These last two posts contain information gleaned for responses to a query, or "blind item", which is like a word puzzle about a person or persons, on a site called "crazy days and nights" which is run be an entertainment lawyer, referred to as 'enty'.
