Wow, that seems like good ratings! Vanderpump Rules gets about 1 million and that might be Bravo's highest rated show right now. Crazy so many tune in to see this (usually boring) train wreck of a family!
I agree with the poster who very intelligently explained that Christine was wanting a spiritual polygamous family and instead got Kody. I think she genuinely wanted to get along with her sister wives and give her kids what she had growing up. I think it was like this for a while in Utah, but television really really changed things. Even if she didn't get along amazingly with Meri, or Janelle sometimes, at least their kids all lived together and really felt like siblings. That must have been rewarding enough to counteract Kody's douchery. Now, they all live separately.
It's sad to see the older kids talk about how great it was growing up with so many brothers and sisters in Utah, then see how little the younger kids interact now. I can understand why Mariah and ... Aspyn, I think?... would want THAT lifestyle because big families are great! But now it's not a big family. Just four, separate nuclear families.
I wish Meri and Janelle would leave and find a monogamous man to treat them like queens. Yes, even Meri, who I think wouldn't be terrible outside of this very strange, jealousy-inducing bubble that surrounds a very, very immature, egotistical man. And I think Christine really could thrive in a spiritual polygamous marriage with sister wives that care about her and a man who at least pops in once in a while and is grateful for what she does. Not that these women need men to complete them, and they could certainly make it on their own (maybe not Christine, but by no fault of her own :/), but I just want to see someone give them a little respect.
It's incredible how manipulative Robyn is. Up until now, I'm sure it could be difficult to completely see. After all, Meri always seems to support her and be close with her. Kody favors her. The show on a whole is so benign and boring. But those reading between the lines could see all along. And now it's clear as day for even the most shallow of viewers: Robyn MARRIED Kody. I always suspected this was her goal but could see no fathomable way she could accomplish it seeing as THREE OTHER WOMEN were married to him first and would certainly step in the way! But wow. She did it. She really did it. I still can't believe it! It is utterly disgusting and I hope she and Kody live a long, miserable life together, without dragging other innocent parties along for the ride.
