Fixed that for ya!

I am hoping that not only is this story true, but that the "film" made used little people performers and is going to be titled something that capitalizes on the name of the show, like "Little People, Big ________" (you fill in the blank). I want to see Matt's head explode!

I am just stunned by this news and barely know what to say. The pain Garrison must have been experiencing to do such an act of violence to himself in order to escape it. The pain each and every member of that family must be going through... and will continue to go through for the rest of their lives. And Gabe. Poor Gabe. I think donating to an animal rescue organization in Garrison's memory is a wonderful idea. His love for his pets was so endearing and is what I will always remember him for. But seriously dammit all ... "remember" really? I don't want to be "remembering" this guy, he should be here. He was 25. People loved him. What happened? I guess the same thing that claims so many young lives. Depression. Stress. Unbearable anxiety? I don't know. All I know is Garrison is gone and I hope they take the gun he apparently used to end his precious existence with and throw it in the deepest water they can find. And I hope they can heal. I truly hope they can heal. As much as is possible, I hope they can heal. Especially Gabe. Poor, poor Gabe.

You silly people, where did you get the idea that birthdays are celebrated to honor the person who was born? It's supposed to be about the person who gave birth! That's why they call it a birth day and not born day, duh! Jill deserves to pay tribute to herself 13 times a year because she is a SEVERELY awesome baby pumper-outer! Don't listen to the haters, Jill. You go right on making it all about yourself, girl! Just like you always do!

Looks like he built his house within pissing distance of the barn. When he has all that land, why?

Robyn's scent: opens with top notes of insincerity and manipulation, followed by solid middle notes of dishonesty and desperation, anchored by a base of selfishness and greed. It stinks!

I listened to the show last night as I was wrapping gifts, but after reading here about Robyn's visible discomfort I'm going to have to sit down and actually watch it. I enjoy seeing her be miserable. Kody, too! They made their own tacky, gaudy, bordello-esque bed and now they get to lie in it. Just the two of them, in monogamy hell. And I am here for their much-deserved suffering. Keep it coming, TLC!

Agreed. And while I would like to see Ari spared the experience of having her life televised further, it sure would be interesting to watch it happen. Kody really hasn't had the experience of living every single day in a house with a kid as they age out of the "tender" stage where they think Daddy hung the moon and seeing that kid turn into a teen with opinions and a will of their own. He's been a Dad who pops in like a guest then takes off when he's had enough. But he's a full time parent now and it's not gonna work like that any more. Ari is gonna make Kody pay, lol

Audrey lost me when they were whining about how expensive things were where they lived, then asked people to Venmo them money so they could go out for coffee. I'm not here for that level of ridiculousness, thank you very much. I have never cared much for Leon because I found them to be a humorless, judgmental, self-absorbed, spoiled brat on the show as a kid - a condition that age has apparently, and quite sadly, failed to remedy. I'm dead now.

Janelle may have started out as simply an overly-trusting plural family cash cow, I agree. And yes, she seems to finally see how many mistakes she made. Finally! I just wish her insight had come from an intelligent realization of where she went wrong and not from the hurt resuting from being ignored by Kody. But I guess ten months of being ghosted will do that to even the most stubborn person unless your name is Meri Brown. Sadly, I fear Janelle might still be Kody's stooge if he had only thrown her a crumb somewhere in those ten months. I wonder, if he had made the slightest effort to set up even one counseling session, would she still be lusting after his pecs and abs? lol Would I say she was actually dickmatized and that explains her behavior? Possibly. She seemed willing to languish and wither on the vine much the same way Meri did. I'm just glad she finally recognized Kody was done with her, too, and she didn't waste years like Meri. Maybe now that she has nothing to lose, she will find the guts to drag Kody to court and get back some of her money that he and his soul mate spent on ugly shirts and baubles. Before they blow what's left on perms, facelifts and injectibles!

Can anybody here name one single financial decision that Janelle has made that was not utterly foolish? - Forking over her inheritance to buy that house in Utah for everyone (not to mention plowing all her salary into supporting someone who contributed nothing *cough* Robyn *cough* so she could have her own house) - Cashing in her retirement, which probably went to pay off Robyn's Victoria's Secret bill and create her pathetic vanity business -Agreeing to buy that shitty land in Flagstaff thinking they were actually going to spend millions building houses on it ... - Giving Kody and Robyn most of the proceeds from the sale of her Las Vegas house to put toward buying Robin a house in Flagstaff - Not buying her own house in Flagstaff, instead renting two (?) different houses and paying as much in rent as a mortgage would have cost, missing out on building equity - Buying that ridiculous camper ... storing that ridiculous camper ... refusing to part with that ridiculous camper - Not to mention a ton of stupid little things like bothering to pay thousands of dollars to buy earn a certificate saying she is a "Life Coach" ... every penny of that was WAAAASTED! - I have no proof, but I would be absolutely stunned if she has made Kody fork over any money to support Savannah ... she is just too much of a doormat to force the issue imo. I know Kody and Robyn are selfish scam artists who have played her for a fool, but at some point Janelle is also at fault for the fact that she has nothing. I'm waiting for her to finally grow a brain and a spine and DO SOMETHING about it!

In keeping with the new (and annoying AF) theme of naming she shows using idoms, I'd suggest "been there, done that," "wash, rinse, repeat," "beating a dead horse," and "same shit, different day." When I see a picture of Meri and Kody's wedding appear onscreen, I can't hit fast forward fast enough!

Yeah, he needs 3 wives ... sometimes I think that is the only reason they care about the other wives actually divorcing him. It messes up their planet, lol They couldn't care less about the actual people involved or their happiness or quality of life (or afterlife!). They just have a quota to fill.

I was half laughing and half pissed listening to Janelle talk about how *if only* sister wives could all have legal marriages with one man, it would solve all the problems they face. I can't believe how dumb she is after everything she's been through. She is in her 50's, for crying out loud. But she has no understanding of the law. What is more shocking is she seems to still have no understanding of the psychology of plural marriage. She thinks it is possible to have a guy married to more than one woman, and the women would each be entitled to 50% of their husbands estate. How exactly would that math work when there are five wives? Would their percentage of his estate be apportioned depending upon how many wives he has? That would mean everytime the guy takes a wife, your interest in his estate would shrink. It would be an incentive for a man to take wife after wife, and for wives to be the first to divorce. That is arguable going to be more destuctive to the families involved than the way it works now, not to mention creating a total nightmare for the court system. And FYI, there is already something called child support, Janelle. You just have to have the guts to go after it (I wonder if Kody has provided any financial support for Savanah in the last few years). And if she thinks that having a legal marriage means a woman can't be taken advantage of by her husband during a divorce, she is sadly mistaken. Women (and men) with legal marriages get screwed in divorce settlements all the time. That piece of paper is no guarantee of fairness. I think the real solution to that issue is to not be a complete fool the way Janelle was and pour things like your salary, inheritance, and retirement into a bank account you have no control over. What is even more dumber-er is that Janelle thinks the threat of a wife leaving and cleaning him out would make a husband toe the line. No, what it would do is end plural marriage because men would never sign up if those were the terms. Which would not be a bad thing, actually!

I hope they remember the "fact" that (according to their belief system) maintaining that eternal connection is not up to them. It is totally up to Kody whether or not he "calls them through the veil" and accepts them as eternal wives on his little planet. He does not have to if he does not want to ... If I were Meri, I would be thinking a guy who has ignored/avoided me and treated me like crap for over a decade and made it CLEAR he doesn't want to be anywhere near me is not going to be summoning me to spend eternity with him. "Just soak in that," Meri! Janelle is (at least at the time of taping) in a slightly better position because Kody is still halfway pretending he actually wants to be with her. Or was that ten months ago and she hasn't seen him since, and she is basically getting the Meri treatment from Kody, too, now? I can't keep it straight. Either way, he's just not that into you, Janelle, and if you think he's gonna be holding the veil open for you one day, you might want to re-evaluate things and consider finding another route to the afterlife.
