Meri is not a factor in this episode. And she is a non factor in the family now.

What I learned from the Kody Gabe conversation is that Robyn played this right. She keeps sweet and does whatever Kody asks. Kody nows see the other wives as a problem. Robyn played the long game.

At this point people were creating bubbles. The way to do it is to agree on rules and let the girlfriend Peyton into the bubble. But there is not a Brown bubble--just households.

I appreciate Gabe saying he didn't get effort back from Kody. He understands that Janelle loves him and would do anything for him. And Kody will not.

WOW, Kody says Janelle is the teflon queen. And Kody says Janelle screwed him over the summer. Gabe offering to get Janelle and Christine on Kody's team. And Gabe saying mom made choices for me and Garrison. This is heartbreaking.

Gabe saying he has quarantined from his girlfriend to see Kody and crying was heart breaking.

Love that Gabe flat out said Christine was his primary caregiver. Kody tried to discount it by saying that it stopped in Vegas and Gabe says that's not true.

Wow, Kody just accused Janelle of poisoning the boys against Robyn.

I watched. I thought there was a big disparity in talent with Matt and Yvonne being much better than the others. Tajh brought a little drama. He is a drag queen, Flawless Shade, here in Portland. I wonder if he'll pop up on drag race next. RuPaul liked him both of the weeks he was judging.

My top five would be Kornbread, Bosco, Willow Pill, Angeria and Lady Camden. I doubt it will work out that way. Next week I could fall in love with Jorgeous or Jasmine Kennedie. I've been feeling a bit of Drag Race fatigue so I am glad that this cast seems extra good. But I keep hearing about another game changer. I am hoping that it isn't like Allstars where an eliminated queen battles back into the competition. I'd like a good old season of drag race without all the cute twists and turns.

Oh I like yours too! And maybe for salt in the wound Sol moves in with Christine.

I am liking the reboot, but I wish they had left Adriana out. I don't care about Nicole at all and I think Guerdy will eventually stop acting and she'll be good. I wish Alexia had just been in the first 2-3 episodes as a kind of storyteller and transition, and then dropped off. Surprisingly, Larsa doesn't bother me this time and I still like Lisa and Marysol. I am more interested in Martina than Julia.

And Kody will be stuck with Robyn, no show, and a tremendous amount of debt. He'll probably have to sell the Sobbin mansion (Coyote Pass will be sold as Christine and then Meri seek to untangle finances). And Christine will ask for child support so Kody will be reminded every month of what he lost! Against the shrieks of Robyn Kody will suggest they move back to Wyoming to live on the ranch that his father owned. Aurora and Breana will be married off to Plygs. Day'un will live in the second bedroom, while Soil and Areola share a small room. None of the other children will write a tell all (although gosh I want to read the tell all) and they will shame Kodi and Robyn by living their best lives! In 20 years an image of the completely bald Kody in a walker with Sobbin grimacing at his side will show up on the equivalent of Page Six. Instead of VS, they will be leaving a courthouse. At least this is my dream.

Count me among the (apparently) many who were fine to see Ben go. He didn't deal well with feedback and he wasn't fun to watch. I hate saying that about a child, but I was going to stop watching if he stayed on because I wasn't seeing joy these kids usually have about baking. Give me Santiago's chill sloth vibe, the girls who were all helping each other, Joseph's I got this attitude or Ellora sweetie pie.

I've that that too, ever since the Jinkx Monsoon vs Detox and Malambo #1. That seemed handpicked for Jinkx. And I think it was one of the best LSFYL performances of all times. Since then Jinkx has been my favorite queen.

Robyn says her kids have only been around her part of the family. To quote Christine: What. About. The. Nanny?

Two very different perspectives: Meri says she has been begging Robyn and Kody for months to see the kids. Robyn says she and Meri have been counting down the days. I was glad that Meri called Robyn out on how she was trying to portray the separation.

They were probably the same motivations Meredith had for hitching her wagon to the other psychotic hosebeast. At least Jen is fun.

Christine drops the first big clue. " I could so get used to this. Not saying anything." They all look happy and life is easy. And interesting that Janelle didn't think to call Kody. And Kody didn't bother to call Janelle. Janelle forgot. But Kody, after Christine's call, chose not to call his kids.

Why is Kody toasting Covid? Is it because it finally allowed him to lose three wives he no longer wanted?

Aurora is wrong. There wasn't common ground.

When Robyn says she is worried about her kids not wanting to me around the family because they don't want to be around them, it is an outrageous distortion of the truth. No one has said that. No one except Robyn not letting Meri around despite the fact Kody said he thought it was okay. And that seemed to be as punishment and to demonstrate who is the head wife. What they have said is that their bio kids can't follow the rules so they can't join in because they will be spending Thanksgiving with their kids. Robyn would only be the scapegoat if she was being blamed for something that wasn't her fault/beyond her fault. From what I can see, if she really wanted to, she could support the other wives and lobby for more reasonable rules. So the Robyn blame seems justified. Separately, I love that we are finally seeing their real relationships.

Janelle: Why would I choose to spend Thanksgiving with Robyn's kids, Robyn and Meri and Kody and not with my kids? It really is an outrageous ask from Kody and Robyn.

Robyn did come across as disingenuous. I do think that Meri is mourning the loss of the old family structure. She is on the outside and Robyn won't even let her see the kids.

And maybe she should could recruit for the church or for companionship. The stories around the internet about infidelity, racism and it being a cult are crazy. If only a tenth of it is accurate then I think Meredith is going to seem foolish siding with Mary in this freak show.
