Petty theft at best!

The fact that Kody can't even trust Robyn to go to church and not be 'picked up' by some dude, confirms for me that he must know deep inside the way he met and got together with her was less wholesome than he and Robyn try to portray. She is going to church, not up in the club. Nice to have it further confirmed/solidified that Meri was doing all the work in the "relationship" with Robyn who never bothered to call, text back or make any effort with Meri. I love to hear Meri's friends lightly call out both Kody and Robyn. Loved to see everyone ooh and ah over Janelle in her hot pink dress. Every since someone mentioned to me that Christine tends to repeat things like Jimmy Two times from Goodfellas, it is all I can hear. I guess it is supposed to be a homey vibe, but ugh, that attic 'private' dining space is NOT. IT. But I guess it is better than having production ruin other people's dining experience.

Oh come now. Robyn has got .... options. What man wouldn't wait in line for a stay at home mom in her mid-40s who is "too pretty" to cook, clean, or parent. But never fear, she always has time to shop and spend all his money. So make sure to have a mansion with plenty of curio cabinets for collectibles by Precious Moments and Lladro and lots of wall space for 'investment' art that looks like it was commissioned by a Red Roof Inn. Has 5 kids who will likely be chained to his wallet for life because although she has no real time to parent, what little time she can spare is used to make sure they end up being 'failure to launch' permanent 'tenders'. Watch out for the youngest tender. She is shaping up to be a real 'pip.' Rolls out of bed around noon but that ensures she has the energy to service her best customer. What does she bring to the table? All the above, plus a goiter. So form an orderly queue fellas. Line starts behind Bill Gates, who I hear is single and ready to mingle. I could've gone the rest of my life without hearing the bolt of lightening story. It did confirm to me that it wasn't Meri's idea to introduce Robyn to Kody though. I am sure it was at Kody's insistence and likely put forth as a task that needed be done to put Meri back in his good graces and would bring him and Meri even closer together. Much like the move to Flagstaff and most likely the legal divorce (although those 2 also have Robyn's dirty lil fingers on those).

OMG! My most vivid memory of Say yes to the Dress is a woman who tried on and brought an expensive Pnina mermaid dress. Even the consultant tried to talk her out of it because it was not at all flattering to her figure. She was quite short, had no waist and truly shaped like Ralph Kramden of the Honeymooners. She loved it, had to have it and brought it. To this day she is known as the barrel bride, because it legit looked like someone put a dress on a barrel. I will say though, considering Christine had 6 kids and likely nursed some, if not all, her figure is good. It is so funny how all the OGs dropped some weight and looks so much better after they left Kody. You can see the weight loss in Meri's face in her newer interviews. I just wish Meri would try for a simple less choppy bob, followed by a very moisturizing conditioner. Her hair has always looked like it was cut by Edward Scissorhands on bath salts with dull, rusty shears.

Meri seems to be surrounded by really great friends. It still pains me to see her continue to furrow her brow and say that she thinks that the marriage could've been saved. There was a point in time when I thought Meri knew the score and was only in it for the TLC pay check but I see I was wrong. She was a true believer. Six months later, she finally admits and sees that Robyn is the favorite and Kody wanted no one else. Jeez! Christine must have had 20 people with her at that bridal salon. I don't even think I have seen an entourage that big on Say yes to the dress. My introverted self could never, but if she likes, I love it for her. No idea her gown was custom. For all that, it still didn't seem to fit her all that well around the bust and waist. Robyn really never needs to offer an opinion on wedding dresses. EVER! She came into the family lying about the infamous gown shopping. LOL! at her saying the only wife that speaks to her is Meri. Robyn's daughters body language, demeanor and tone of voice makes them seem like they are always apologizing in advance and on the verge of tears at the same time. Jeez, to have all that angst just to ask their mother to go to church. They probably have to have an ambulance on standby to ask to go to the movies or a party. No wonder the eldest is prone to panic attacks. Surprise, surprise, not even the special tenders want any part of polygamy, but is is not like Robyn ever truly lived the principle anyway.

It is not lost on me that the one time the "tears are real" Robyn is in control of the camera. She was self-filming in the car after having left Meri's house. Probably had some onions or dripped some water on her face before she pressed record. Kody made sure to maneuver himself so that Meri had her back to the camera so it caught his "sobbing". Both him and his wife were performing "grief" monkeys this episode.

I loved that Meri basically gray rocked Robyn and therefore Robyn was unable to feed. Of course, miss sleep until noon, was too distraught to come over and help and only showed up to bring her dark cloud of gloominess. I am sure Meri is going to miss Robyn never calling her, doing things with her or inviting her over. LOL! WTF is Kody mad over Janelle allegedly telling Christine that he wasn't attracted to her? Didn't he tell that to Christine's face before she moved all his crap out to the garage. Didn't he frigging write it in a book they released over a decade ago?!?! How is that new news?!?! I swear this man almost has me questioning my sanity and it sucks that the show never calls him on this shit. Same goes for allowing Robyn to counter Christine, rightly, calling Robyn a manipulator re: Meri. Sweet fancy Moses, that was the ugliest "gift" ever. That looked like it was made by Iola Lucille Boylen (Mama's Family) on shrooms. I love when we get details about the money. Call me crazy, but I always thought that Janelle handled the finances too. Didn't she coin herself the family's accountant? As ditsy, as she may seem, Christine made out the best by washing her hands of Coyote Pass and taking her equity from the house sale. Trailer for the rest of the season looks interesting.

I never want to hear the word "orgasm" out of Kody's piehole EVERY. AGAIN. You will not ruin that for me asshole! That whole fight/f*ck spiel was vomit inducing! I think that was the way he lived his life and might miss it.

Good lawd! I am by no means old, but I legit thought I might be having a dementia episode listening to the conversation between Kody and Meri. I was sitting there thinking, I know this is English they are speaking but why does nothing make sense?!?! Am I okay! It is a wonder that none of the OG3 has gone stark raving mad with the way he talks out of both sides of his mouth and ass! Why even meet with Meri?!!? Likely just for the cameras and some change because that was pointless and added nothing. Just like all things, it made him look worse. The irony that his favorite word (from the manosphere) is "accountability" and yet like his cohorts he can't take any himself. Now, it is a woman's fault if he "loves" or doesn't "love" her. I put love in quotes, because I don't believe that he is capable or even knows what love is. He "loves" Robyn because she assuages his ego, her perceived loyalty and makes him feel good.... for now. A woman has to make Kody love them. That is the most jacked up thing about love I think I have heard on a reality show. That man most definitely has some form of personality disorder. No doubt. I don't need to witness the courtship of Christine by David. Happy for her but Nope. Tony and Mykelti just strike me as 2 people who I would find very unpleasant to be around for any extended period of time.

I love this point and I think I alluded to this a season or so ago. I correlated Robyn's treatment of the larger family, especially the OG3, to her being a Precious Moments collector. That is what she sees them as. Objects to be dusted off to reenact 'special moments' for her like the holidays and the pivotal 'on the porch in rocking chairs' bit. Just feel good moments, solely for her benefit. Once those are done, she can put them back in the box, in the attic - out of side, out of mind - and go about with her monogamous life and husband. Except for their money of course, which she would have full access to 24/7. Mykelti took a bite out of that placenta like she was Bubble Bass eating a Krabby Patty.

In that same conversation he was saying that Maddie was spreading lies and fallacies by telling Janelle that Kody said he doesn't love Janelle. Does he just not hear himself? Kody: What have a done to deserve this? Me: Just watch the show from S1 ep 1 until S19 e4. It is all there. His other admitted mistake was trying to kick the boys out of Janelle's house when they wouldn't or couldn't comply with his Robyn's COVID protocols. I am so overjoyed to hear him acknowledge a shit storm ensued from the family for what he did to Ysabel. The most unforgiveable thing he has ever done. Yes, Robyn did go against character a bit but no I am not willing to entertain any redemption arc for her because she is still clinging to the kids despise Kody because of lies and misinformation. No, they despise him because of his (and her) actions over the past decade. STOP THE CAP. She and he flew too close to the sun during the pandemic and are reaping what they have sown. It was interesting to hear his relationship with Hunter confirmed because we never hear where they stood. I always assumed he sided with his mom but it is nice to have confirmation. Hunter strikes me as a total mensch. Robyn looks so much younger and better without makeup and the heavy brows. I was struck by that in the scenes with the babies and in the car on the way home. In some old photos they threw up it took me a minute to realize it was Tony. At first, I wondered WTH is Chaz Bono doing there?!?! LOL!

Every time I hear about Mykelti getting close to Robyn at such a difficult time in her life, I always think about those scary movies where a demonic entity is trying to possess someone and they always go for the one that is the most emotionally damaged or vulnerable. Yup, Robyn is Annabelle from The Conjuring.

I tend to think neither Robyn nor Kody were happy about that either. Might have even been one the reasons Kody was contemplating not going. Wasn't Robyn the one that wanted one of the young adult's 'coming out' as queer/bi filmed? These events bring dollar signs to this duos eyes. This gives her more 'grocery money' to sock away for fancy vacays and so-called art.

In news no one asked for - Kody prefers home vs hospital births. So says the man who was at death's death and went to the hospital for a 99.8 fever. You can't make this sh!t up!!!

On a petty note, the OG3 kids not having fridge privileges at Robyn's house means she was neither a mom or family to them. Who the hell can't go into their own bonus mom's fridge?!!?
