I don't feel bad for either Tori or Dean. Everything they do always feels so manipulative and attention-seeking. I wouldn't be surprised if Tori filed for divorce so she can get a single mom reality show. It would be nice if she would keep her shit to herself to protect her kids' privacy for once. And the request for spousal support is hysterical. I guess Candy Spelling isn't supporting her financially these days.

https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/sister-wives-cast-continuing-to-film-after-garrisons-death/ I hope they are not really filming this week. And if they are filming, I hope they are not having any of the kids (adult or minor) film. I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch if they decide to show the aftermath of this tragedy. It's too exploitive.

https://people.com/sister-wives-garrison-brown-dead-8604813 Devastating. I can't even imagine how they are feeling right now.

At least she didn't hang around for 7 years this time hoping it would work out.

If, like me, you spend way too much time trolling the social media accounts of reality "stars", you will see they are all selling the same things. I suspect certain businesses and brands are friendlier to the reality people than others. And real estate investing is a good deal if you have the cash to buy and you choose a good location. I don't know anything about where Christine or Meri's properties are located. I am super curious if this new house is in Christine's name, or David's name, or both. And who put the money down on the down payment.

I would put Christine Brown's "name brand" on the same level as the Jaclyn Smith collection at Kmart. And the articles on the walls are tacky, but the Browns have always been tacky, so it fits their target audience.

Just like with everything else the Sister Wives grifters try to sell, its going to be a hard NO from me. I am curious about what they will try to charge though.

Didn't Jon agree to the gag order and the continued filming to avoid child support? He always plays it like he was just victimized and had no choice, but I remember him running around with Lindsay Lohan's father and trying to get his own reality show.

Christine needs the show to fuel her other endeavors. The core buyers for her MLM schemes all come from people watching the show. And without the drama of Kody and Robyn, watching Christine will be a huge snooze. Everyone on this show is doing it because they either need the TLC money directly, or they need the fame they get from being on the show to fuel other income streams. The average Plexus seller is not making anywhere close to what Janelle and Christine appear to be pulling in. And Christine made extra from the sympathy factor she got when she left Kody. People even commented on her social media that they were buying to "support" her. I hope they do more Talk Back episodes. Those were far more entertaining than any of the regular episodes.

Is Truely back to homeschooling? I am assuming they are back in South Carolina in that photo. Christine constantly appears to be on vacation.

I can tell you from experience that at Meri's age, dating is an interesting situation. You definitely have to lower the standards you had at 25 years old or so. I guess that's why I'm single like Janelle 😉. Meri's only child is grown and they won't be having kids, so if Amos is nice, it makes sense for her to give him a chance. Hopefully she doesn't move him in to her house super fast or give him any access to her money though.

I will take an Amos in a hat at the dinner table over Kody's disgusting rat's nest with those two weird squiggly locks hanging down in front any day of the week. Both of Kody's ex-wives traded up. Now if Kody would shave the mess and fix his entire personality, he might be on par with his replacements.

David provided his last name right up front, making it an easy Google search. We don't have a last name for Amos, but I'm sure some obsessed soul on Reddit will figure it out eventually.

Hopefully Amos likes Meri's turkey. I think it bothers Kody more when his ex-wives find men they like better than him and stop groveling for his attention. As long as Janelle is single, Kody can delude himself into believing she is still thinking about him and might be missing his manhood.

I'm happy for her. I'm glad she is moving on with her life and not waiting around begging for scraps from Kody and Robyn.

If it is true that Meri was abusing the children to the point of their lives being in danger, that is a shame on every adult in that house. But I suspect it isn't true. I think Meri was a strong disciplinarian and often a bitch, but I don't really believe she was beating them half to death. Paedon has had his own issues with aggression, to the point that Gwendolyn won't be around him. I wonder if Gwen skipped Christine's wedding because Paedon was there.

Christine benefits from the horrible way that Kody and Robyn come across. By comparison, she's not that bad. But if you put her on a show by herself, you would start wanting to stick a pen in your eye after several episodes just to escape her. That's my opinion. I honestly hope she and David work out and are happy. It all seems rather quick, so I hope they are compatible long-term once the new relationship glow wears off.

Meri wanted to be part of the family, and appears to show up whenever Robyn and Kody invite her. Yet in this past season, Robyn left Meri out of Easter. According to Meri, Robyn never contacted her about coming for Easter or participating in anything. And Robyn didn't fight to include Meri in that Christmas #2, possibly because Mykelti doesn't like Meri. So how much does Robyn really want Sister Wives and want to work things out and have one big family? BFF Jenn implied that Robyn often doesn't show up for her plans with Meri. I think Christine is right that Robyn says one thing, but her actions speak very differently.

I'm not so sure the Christine/Janelle "Best Friends Forever" thing has staying power either. Christine is a bit controlling over Janelle, and you can see Janelle express annoyance about that in both the regular episodes and these Talk Backs. If Christine can't learn to back off, Janelle may do her passive distance thing to get away from Christine, similar to how she was just ignoring Robyn's existence without directly confronting these issues. There may be more than one reason that Janelle has no desire to move to Utah.

I am more entertained by the Talk Backs than I ever was by the actual show. Interesting that Meri's best friend Jenn appears to be no fan of Robyn, and pointed out how Robyn is selfish when she makes Meri and Kody's breakup all about her. I also noticed when Jenn asked Meri why Robyn cares if she leaves when Robyn apparently rarely sees Meri or shows up when they have plans. Hopefully Meri stays away from Flagstaff and continues building a separate life. Meri's laugh during uncomfortable scenes is totally a defense mechanism, and it's really sad. I love Christine and Janelle's commentary, and I love how Kody gets chance after chance to say something mature and gracious, and passes on it every single time. Robyn looks like she is slowly being tortured filming these episodes, but I'm questioning more and more how sincere Robyn's distress really is.

Meri was old cow. Robyn is new cow, but she is probably also the last cow, because Kody is not attractive enough or wealthy or famous enough at this point to get another new cow. I think both Kody and Robyn have behaviors that drive each other crazy, and I think both of them wish Kody had somewhere else to spend part of his time.

Meri got sucked in by a catfish because she was lonely and depressed after her husband and her "friend" manipulated her into accepting a legal divorce so they could get married to each other instead. I agree with you that Meri should be honest about it, but I think she is still in a lot of denial. Kody continues to brand Meri with a scarlet letter for her online affair so that he can justify his shitty treatment of her. Because when you consider how Kody treated Meri, it makes you a lot less sympathetic when he whines about loyalty and how he's been supposedly betrayed by members of his family.

There were a few new revelations, but not much. It was mostly the same talking points. It was nice to see Meri confirm that Kody is a huge baby when he is sick. I agree with everyone else that Robyn didn't look happy and didn't want to be there. She's been criticized a lot on social media and probably doesn't want to revisit things that happened. I would have liked to see Kody comment directly on statements his kids made about him this season.

Meri was very mature and gracious when talking about David and Christine and the wedding and whole situation in this episode. I hope she has truly moved on and found some peace. Suki gave Kody and Robyn multiple chances to act like mature adults and be gracious about the entire situation, and they pretty much passed on every one. Robyn passed on it with her histrionics and drama, and Kody passed on it with his continued hatred of Christine and his conspiracy theories. And that horrible line about how his kids have to come to him, since he apparently has no desire to reach back out. The scene where Christine is telling her kids about her lack of intimacy with Kody IS inappropriate, as is any shit that Christine has talked about Kody to her kids. I suspect that Christine's oldest daughters were parentified at a young age and have been her emotional crutch for a while. But I don't think Christine is purposely alienating them from Kody. It has always been Kody demanding that everyone choose "loyalty" to him over Christine. He is the one forcing them to take sides, not her.

It annoys me when the media says that Kody's 3 wives left him. Meri didn't leave Kody. Kody shoved Meri out of the family. That's a very important detail that makes Kody look a lot less sympathetic.
