Is that Alyssa in the second row, second girl from the left with her eyes closed?  I had to triple look trying to pick her out. Wow, she’s come a long way.

[S08.E08: Carlton and Shantel's Story LIVE CHAT]

I’m so ticked off right now-I never get to live chat because I live in WA, but I’m in Cincinnati for work this week.  I was all excited to live chat only to have my stupid work dinner run late, and when I finally got back to the hotel I discovered the TV doesn’t have TLC. CURSE YOU, MARRIOTT!

Sigh. Oh well, just had to chime in and tell you all how much I love reading the live chats after I’ve watched the show. Please return to your regularly scheduled snarking 🙂

That sports bra looks anything but supportive.  Hey Snowflake, I thought you said bras were dumb.  That color is putrid; no wonder it's on sale.  Ugh!

Putrid is an excellent description of that color. Looks like the contents of a nasty diaper. But it’s on sale!  Swipe up if you want to be just like Mariah with poop colored saggy boobs!

Bahahaha I hesitate to go inside because I have wimpy lungs and am sensitive to tobacco smoke. Maybe I can walk in wearing a mask. 🤣 But yes if I do a drive-by snooping--or work up the nerve to walk in--I will take pics. 😊

Wait, isn’t Amy’s shop in the same strip mall?  Can your lungs handle the stench of cheap fabrics 😬

I would love to be in an exclusive relationship, but I'm coming to the conclusion that isn't in the cards for me again. 😢

I like the Anne of Green Gables saying “There’s always another bend in the road”. You just never know what’s around the next bend 🙂. 

As for Kody and company, I could see Meri leaving but not the others. None of them want to work, and even if they wanted to it’s not easy getting back into the job market at their age.  I predict they’ll keep living large until they all go broke and end up back in one trailer with three wives.  Can’t you just picture them all sitting there in their peeling faux leather recliners sniping at each other 😂

[S11.E06: An Awkward Valentine's Day]

I laughed like a 12-year old when Christine was bleating on about how she couldn’t be master of her own domain if they were all in one house 😂.

Editing to add—I think a couple people misunderstood, there’s a famous Seinfeld episode that gave a whole meaning to that phrase.  I think it’s safe to say Christine never watched Seinfeld.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Contest

I don't think Meri had much of a say over Robyn either.  I really believe Janelle and Christine were mad because Robyn got such a nice honeymoon that neither one of them got.  Janelle as always tries to be frugal despite the ways of her sister wives.

Not only was it much nicer, but at 11 days it was much longer, too. I recently rewatched the honeymoon episode and the wives at home were all angry and hurt. And of course Kody didn’t care, he was too busy banging Robochin and pretending to be a surfer dude. I can’t imagine how painful it must have been for the other wives to watch that episode.

I hope this is the right place to post this.  If you are interested in odd lifestyles like polygamy or the Amish, check out Gloriavale on Prime.  It's about a strange group ( some might say cult) in New Zealand.  There are just 3 episodes but her interesting!

I watched this a couple months ago, I agree it was fascinating. I felt so badly for the women in that cult, they are worked to the bone.

I could take the St. Valentine's Day Massacre episode only if no one else wants it - since I've already managed to watch it, I can type it up and have it ready for when the thread opens up.

I can’t wait to see what you do with that mess, it’ll be epic!  This group’s  recaps are better than the show by a long shot.

So...approximate cost for 9 Browns to visit Disneyland for the day?  Just curious.

My family of 5 went this past summer, two day Max passes for four adults and one child were around $1,200. That’s about $120/person per day, so it would easily be over $1,000 day in tickets alone for 9 Browns. 

Considering all their moving expenses and overdue taxes, wouldn’t seem like the best time to be dropping big bucks on an expensive vacation, but I guess that’s just monogamous talk. We don’t understand 🙄

Can someone please tell me what is on that one girl's head?  Since they are at Disney land I assume it must be Micky Mouse ears (????) but it looks like two flesh colored bulbous lumps!  Or a bizarre hair style, lol.  What am I not seeing?

They’re Minnie Mouse ears, they sell them all through the park, she just picked a really unfortunate color.

Snarking does keep the mind sharp, because there is often the desire to make each snark more biting or funnier than the last snark (and the Browns provide excellent fodder).  Who knows, scientists of the future may find snark to be a dementia preventative even better than working crossword puzzles.

The problem is, I feel like I lose brain cells every time I watch their show, so even if snarking helps cognition it’s probably a zero sum game for me 😋

We should all be in the shame corner....I asked my library to buy the book so I wouldn't have to.  Now I'm tempted to check it out again because I'm probably the only person who read it and I feel bad that they spent my town's hard-earned tax money to purchase it. 😞

Oh you guys...I just had a moment of weakness and bought a used copy on eBay for $3.93 with free shipping. Must get package in house without Mr. Kbo seeing or I will endure endless mocking 😬. I’ll have to find a good place to hide it. And when I’m done, I’m going to pitch it in one of those donation bins they have in parking lots and peal out of there!

 

[S11.E04: Four Wives, One House]

Robyn is so phony--I don't buy that she didn't know about the "one house" idea for a second.  She's talked about how she never wants to move again--if they were to build this enormous house with no resale value, it would certainly tie Kody down.  

On the other hand, the rendering could easily be something the show's producers commissioned so that there was something to talk about.  If their ultimate goal is to build on Plague Prairie, why on earth would they buy not one but two houses in Flagstaff?  And yet, if they've given up on the idea of building, then why not put the land back up for sale and get their money back out of it?  Nothing these people do makes any sense!   

However, whether it's a manufactured idea or not, telling your family you need a way to get away from them on Xmas Eve is the height of being a douchebag.  I really don't think Kody has empathy for anyone--it's all about him, all the time.  Why do they put up with it?  WHY????

Remember when they first bought the land for the LV cult-de-sac?  Kody had to make a big deal out of running all around the perimeter to get his smell (or was it "stink" that he said?) on the place.

Their preoccupation with sharing body odor is . . . shall we say . . . odd.

Who could forget Kody running across the property like an Irish Setter in an Alpo commercial?  Someone here made that comparison and I laughed so hard I never forgot it 😂
