I was thinking about how Kody feels about 3 divorces (assuming that his relationship with Janelle has gone there) in 8 years. Has it been 3 knives to the kidneys? Or does Kody now consider it a trifecta with the payoff of the home wrecker and dog kicker, Robyn? Is Kody still estranged from a majority of his biological kids? Or does he consider it liberated from the ungrateful? Now that he is hunkering down with one, will he finally get rid of the ringlets and shave his head?

Especially Dayton, who, according to Robyn, was the outcome of her decision to give her purity to the wrong person.

Robyn explained that it wasn't her fault that she had sex and got pregnant out of wedlock. Season 6, Episode 6: “There was only one thing that he wanted,” Robyn said. “So I got pregnant,” she said about her pregnancy with her first child, Dayton Brown. Robyn takes no responsibility for having premarital sex. She tells the Brown children about a girl who didn’t give her purity to the right person, referring to herself. “One girl, she took her purity, and she gave it to someone who begged for it. And he begged for it, and he begged for it. So she gave it away. She gave away her purity. And he didn’t respect it." “You know, when I found out I was pregnant, I was devastated at that point. I was really scared. I was scared of all of my family rejecting me; I was scared of what my church was gonna say.” Then she revealed her regret for not saving her “purity” for her husband, Kody. “When she finally found the guy she was supposed to be with, she had to go to him and say, ‘Look, I gave away my purity to someone else. He kind of stole it from me. And this was supposed to be yours. But I gave it to someone else, and I’m so sorry.’ And it broke her heart,” Robyn cried.

Not sure why Kody thinks he doesn't get to pick who he hangs out with. He chose Robyn. We have heard Kody and Meri say that relationship is over and they don't spend time together. Kody is picking NOT to spend time with Meri. We've heard Christine's kids say he is never around. We have heard Janelle's kids say the same. He is not picking them as hang out buddies. Kody is picking to hang out with Robyn and her spawn only.

Why does Kody think he is making huge sacrifices for his kids? Didn't he tell Janelle that they had to move out or he wouldn't spend time with Janelle? Also, why does Kody keep bringing up Christine? It seems like he is blaming Christine for everything. The failure of Kody polygamy, the failure of Kody's relationships with his kids, the failure of holidays are all Christine's fault.

Robyn wants the apology, she doesn't like the fact that Kody is demanding it on the show. I'm sure she has been in his ear playing that she is the scapegoat.

It only makes sense if you need to be in control of everyone and be unconditionally adored.

The rules come up again. We all saw the they got the rules right before the holidays the previous year. Kody seems to forget that it is all caught on video. Kody has to talk respect and persecution yet again. And how he doesn't have support from Janelle. HE has had to deal with Covid protocols, HE has had to deal with being away from the part of the family he doesn't like. HE was left by a wife that he mistreated. HE and his family (not Janelle and their kids--his wife Robyn and their kids) got Covid. At least Kody is making it easy for me to walk away after this season. HE is an asshat.

It is interesting that Kody doesn't like that Christine is bringing kids to Flagstaff so that they can see the family. It is shocking that he doesn't like the idea that they would stay in a neutral place. He wants them at his house (meaning Robyn's house). I'm guessing it is because he wants Christine to feel the loneliness of being excluded. But at least Meri acknowledges that she would do the same thing that Janelle is doing--spending the holidays with her children.

Discussing holiday plans a week before Thanksgiving means you aren't planning on spending them together. Kody, "I never said...no,no,no, I completely reversed that." Well that means you said it Kody. I feel like Kody should be calling his kids to find out what his kids are doing for the holidays.

One thing that's interesting is that Robyn hasn't called out that besides the boys not being welcomed until they apologize, that Kody forgot Gabe's birthday. Where is Gabe's apology? Why isn't Robyn crying over the way that Kody mistreated his sons? There seems to be a planned and systematic attack on Janelle.

There is a lot of weight to this episode. We can all see that Janelle sees the writing on the wall. Robyn and Kody want her out. The 'unplanned' conversation about whether Janelle was still committed was clearly planned by Kody and Robyn. I still believe that Robyn and Kody think they will be able to act their way to swaying popular opinion that Kody is the wronged person in the family.

While Christine settles into her new life in Utah, the remaining wives and Kody have another tense conversation at Robyn's; Janelle feels Kody is making her choose between him and her kids, and they reach a breaking point. December 11, 2022

It does seem that Kody believes phones only work one direction--child to parent. I get it. I have a mother like that. Like Kody, she is likely a narcissist or has BPD. I'm not sure why Kody believes that Janelle should be in the middle of his conversation with his children, especially when he gets angry that Janelle isn't capturing his latest edict accurately. What really seems to be happening is the family has just broken into two families. The Janelle/Christine family has 12 well-adjusted kids who love to spend time together (mostly--Gwen/Paedon are the outlier), regardless of who the birth mother is. The moms have a deep friendship and have bonded over the trauma of 25+ years with Kody/Meri and 12+ years with the home wrecker and dog kicker Robyn. Then you have the family of Robyn and Kody. The kids all seem to have challenges, from anxiety, to autism to poorly socialized hellion behavior. Peeks into the Kody/Robyn home suggest a home filled with precious moments and platitudes. Barnacle Bob and her child, Leon, seem to be floating around outside of everyone else. Leon and Audrey seem to have a good relationship with Gwen, but I question their relationships with anyone else. Heck, we all remember Leon and Audrey moving to Parowan and failing to inform his highness Kootie. After the tell all I think I need to be done with Sister Wives. If they want to have specials on the kids, or even a few updates on Christine and Janelle post Kody, I will watch. But I have reached the point where I no longer want any money to go into the Kootie coffers.

I wonder if Meri is planning to move back to SLC to be closer to Leon. I don't believe Leon wants their mother in Denver, but SLC is only 5 hours away.

Yes and yes. If you are in the right frame of mind, knowing that you will be confined to a smaller space and you are good with lots of down time for reading, conversation, watching spectacular scenery or browsing the internet, it is an amazing way to travel. I have always upgraded to have a roomette, so that I have privacy, and I have never done it alone. But I am thinking about doing a cross country trip alone in a few years. Disclosure should be that I prefer trains to cars or flying. I used to live on the Acela corridor between DC and Boston, and I also like the train from Portland to Vancouver BC. I just find it more relaxing. If you are considering it, I recommend doing a smaller trip first, then trying the longer trips. There is something to wonderful about train trips.

I figured that Kody was quarantined to that row because nobody wanted to sit near him because Robyn and Kody are unvaccinated and, well, Kody kooties.

And ideally, said nubile young woman would start as a spiritual wife, until she convinces Kody to marry her. Once they are married, she'll dump his ass and insist that he sells Kody Pass and any other assets with his name on it so she can get her half.

Agreed. If Rish lied about when he heard I think he'd lie about cheating. Dude showed the world he is a liar.

Paedon has said that Kody isn't vaccinated. I'm guessing that due to patriarchy that means none of Robyn or her kids are vaccinated. Christine has talked about being vaccinated and Janelle has mentioned members of her family being vaccinated. Janelle's called out Garrison and Hunter specifically.

Next week I hope Janelle walks off and keeps walking all the way to NC or Utah.

Oh geez, Kody as King Tut and Robyn as a senior citizen Cleopatra were scary. And was that a sasquatch by the RV in the background?

I don't really believe Kody sobbed because of what he lost with Christine. It was probably anger spit at not being the patriarch.

Yep, she wasn't even sick enough to be admitted. And all those tests. I hope that Kody and Robyn pay them. And then Briana trying to justify the visit to the hospital that robyn could get worse. Or crying that Kody is depressed. She needs some acting lessons. Just not from her mother.

It would be freaking awesome if Janelle ends the marriage next episode and the season was a twofer special. I would be satisfied. And I would never watch again.
