The seating arrangement bugged me, too laurakaye. Why wasn't Kody sitting next to his mother? Why did he have to grasp Robyn's knee/lower thigh during what looked like a moment of silence? She was actually turned away from him at that moment towards Genielle. The body language seemed off to me. It's a little nit-picky, but I definitely noticed it. I do understand that as Garrison's father he should be in the front row, and Robyn as his wife would sit next to him, but it bugged nonetheless. Also, apparently Mykelti was on her Patreon say that she and Tony were getting "ripped apart" in the comment section of the NV National Guard pics. I saw overwhelmingly positive comments, with a few regarding her sneakers and Tony's hat. If you want to be on the show and making $$ from Patreon, Mykelti, you're going to have to grow thicker skin.

Omg, I was hoping it wasn’t true. My heart breaks for Janelle and his loved ones..

I have to say that the wedding venue is stunning! Christine and David couldn’t have picked a more beautiful setting for their ceremony. If I ever get out to Utah, I’d love to stay at that lodge.

Actually, if Robyn ever did leave Kody, I shudder to think how he’d react. He has put Robyn up on a pedestal and seems to base his whole life around the fact that he has a “perfect” soulmate.

Speaking of the ring story, why wasn't Kody asked about it as well as Meri? It was his story to tell, too. The producers pitted two women against each other rather than holding the man who did the horrible thing accountable! Even if he refused to answer why he did it, it would have been more fair to at least have asked the question and watch him squirm.

Not that Meri cares about my opinion, but here's my 2 cents worth-- I think she needs a softer look around the face. Her eyes are striking, but the rest of her features are a little "coarse?" if I'm using the term correctly. The extreme side part does her no favors, either; she should choose an off-center or less severe side part, imo. The color is nice, but why is the hair so stiff looking? For all the messy look, it doesn't seem to have much movement.

Right, because he’s full of 💩! Robyn never remembers anything that doesn’t fit her narrative— she’s the Kato Kaelin of Sister Wives.

I went back and watched episodes when Kody was courting Robyn and in a few scenes he definitely was wearing a gold wedding band that appeared to have a few tiny diamonds. It was not a claddagh ring. Robyn lied.

There’s too many secrets in this family. Meri loves to have secrets between her and another person — she gives off “I know something you don’t know 🎶” energy.

I know it would never happen but I think the property should be split differently, with Meri and Janelle each getting 4 acres(shares) and Kody and Robyn getting 6 (as a unit). They are the ones legally married and only need one home/household between them. Arizona is a community property state so Robyn and Kody are entitled to a portion of each other's assets should they split up (unlikely, imo) or one of them dies. Family money was used for part of the McMansion, which currently only belongs to K&R--and unless they are going to pay Meri and Janelle back, K&R should get less of the CP property. Robyn has said that her assets will go to her kids only, and if Kody dies before her (which is statistically likely), all of Kody's assets will go to her unless he states otherwise specifically in a will.

When asked by Meri if he intended the family lot to go to the kids, Kody started to say "No" but Robyn shut him up real quick.

I agree, it’s almost “King Lear-like,” isn’t it? i imagine that when Kody is old and infirm, the kids who received the most favor will be the ones who give him the least attention.

Kody likely dragged his feet about paying off the lots so that Janelle and Meri would step in to avoid foreclosure. Instead, Kody spent money on new jewelry for both himself and Robyn, artwork, a new four-wheeler, minibikes, etc. Mykelti said that Kody thought of art as an investment rather than keeping $ under a mattress— perhaps it’s to hide money from the OG wives or the IRS?

I could do without rehashing the catfish situation except for Meri to say she felt lonely and emotionally abandoned by Kody and therefore got seduced by the attention given to her. I’d rather hear about how the legal divorce affected her and how it actually came about, why they really moved to Flagstaff, what $$ was used to buy the McMansion, who contributed $$ for Coyote Pass, etc.

It could be true--didn't she say she got pregnant sometime in March? Twins may come early, too so they may actually have been born and for whatever reason, Kail is keeping quiet for now.

In Robyn’s case, the story would go, “she wanted a pony, but got a horse’s ass instead.”

I like Josh, too—most of his bakes seem like the ones I would reach for on a dessert table. Caterpillar cakes are apparently very popular for kid birthdays in the Uk and are sold by many food retailers.

And in their pre-teen and teen years, they eat like ravenous animals, lol! Kail’s grocery bills are going to be huge!

I can’t imagine a fundie woman doing Diesel ads—they were quite provocative and controversial. Diesel jeans are expensive, maybe that’s why Kody chose that brand to brag about what a “hot” catch Robyn was.

I’m sure Salsa Brava could accommodate the Browns for a private gathering. Invite everyone, and leave it up to each individual adult to decide if they want to attend. Robyn and Kody have put the family in a “catch-22” situation— they can’t resolve their differences if they don’t get together and they can’t get together until they resolve their differences. At least Kody and Garrison and Gabe could meet in a neutral public place, in person, and have a discussion to try to make peace. A phone call or texting isn’t going to do anything positive now.

When I watched that scene at the dinner table, I thought how much more mature the G’s were than their father. However, seeing Gabe ‘s face and Gwen holding back tears made me sad. No matter how big of a jerk their father is, he’s the only one they have. My father died last year (aged 88) and even though I am an older adult, sometimes I wish I could still talk to him, ask him things, etc. We argued many times during my teens and twenties— often disagreeing on many issues including politics and religion. However, he always let me express myself, as long as I was respectful.

Christine looks radiantly happy in the wedding pics and Janelle looks great, too. I do wonder if Meri was invited and decided not to come (due to her brother’s death) or if she wasn’t invited. I hope Kody sees the pics and it feels like a knife in his other kidney.

And if Kody dies without a will specifically stating otherwise, Robyn (if she survives him) gets 6 claims on the land or 2/3 of the property. Why is this fair? No wonder Janelle was determined to get her little house built and stake her claim.

Exactly—Christmas and New Year’s Day are the same day for the whole family. There is no excuse short of being unconscious to not at least shoot a family text to everyone that he did not see over the holidays. Also, the pics that a fan a fan took of Kody and Robyn shopping in Phoenix were in Jan. Of 2022– he had time to do that, but not contact Savanah? What a giant hair-topped turd.

I also think protecting their “brand” and the narrative of the show came into play. Money means a lot to Kody— he told Suki that poverty was his biggest fear. He was willing to keep Meri around for as long as he could stand to protect the show —as well as potentially benefiting from some of Meri’s income that she could add to the family pot.
