Garrison is absolutely correct--Robyn is peeved because they aren't allowing her to influence or manage their lives anymore. They aren't engaging this Robyn and that makes her mad. She doesn't matter. Robyn is the catalyst of using Covid to get 100% of Kody's attention.

So the issue is that Robyn wanted the gift exchange on Zoom and the OG kids said no. So this is trauma for Robyn and her kids? And weird that they think that OG were planning on having Christmas without the tenders. Janelle talked with Kody about coming over to the rental and ROBYN said no. Robyn lied to her kids so that they felt victimized.

I just don't understand why Robyn thinks Christine's departure made Kody's relationships with Janelle's kids worse. Is it because nothing can be Kody's fault?

Okay, all three--Meri, Christine and Janelle all saying you can't have a favorite. Of course, Kody thinks you can, if she is loyal.

I do like seeing Meri being happy. There are no family politics, just friendship. Laughter is so important. It seems like years since we've heard a brown laugh.

It is very sad that the girls ignore each other. This is the cost of Robyn and Kody isolating their kids from the OGs.

I am here.

Yes, I am watching it on WOW. The queens are great. I've just got so much drag race fatigue that I don't comment on it. Still loving Pandora Nox.

Really hard for Robyn to judge. She is an ugly, sneaky person who has worked hard to steal Kody away from his OG3 kids, has collected tacky furnishings and decorations while others live in modest apartments, manipulates Kody as a damsel in distress and used to shop at Victoria's Secret and charge her Cootie sex rags against the house account. Robyn is the original Cootie Catcher.

Butcher Babies is a heavy metal band. It looks like Janelle is vacationing with them. Here is a link to one of their songs:

If we are commenting on appearances, Caleb is not a looker. He has that scruffy-looking, unkempt beard that some bald men grow. And he looks so much older than Maddie. On the positive side, there isn't as much age ick factor as there was when they started dating when Maddie was 19 and Caleb was 28.

She looks fine to me. Beaming.

Robyn sees hope because Meri is part of as his future and the caretaker of the barndominium. She is part of the extra stuff that he doesn't want to deal with.

Janelle's expectations from a polygamist husband are so low. She just wants to be equally considered. I think the fact that Janelle isn't allowing physical contact is key for her moving on. And Kody expected that a fancy dinner and his pecs and abs would get him back in her bed, her house, and her wallet.

Question: When Kody takes a wife out for dinner, does it come out of the wife's budget? Or does it come from family pot? Is Janelle paying for her birthday dinner?

There we go. Kody wants Meri to live in an RV on Coyote Pass and to build a casita. Or she can be in a 'barndominium' to ensure nobody steals his crap/ Does anyone think he isn't trying to string her along? To make Robyn happy and to get Meri to pay off the loans on Coyote Pass?

Kody wants to be a monogamist but he doesn't want to break up with the wives' wallets. Robyn keeps prompting him to string Meri along. The difference between his reactions to the Christine/Janelle break ups and the Meri relationship is so strange. He is giving Meri just short of the bum's rush. It is so painful. BUT I LOVED MERI"S READ! When she said, sometimes people have two houses. And polygamist men live in two houses. Usually. I laughed outloud.

I love that Garrison offered to host and he was clear he wants to get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone sees the writing on the wall. Their world has changed. It doesn't have to be worse, but it is different. This shift is seismic.

A lease between siblings is a great idea at that age. Mykelti and Aspen struggled.

Gabe's analogy about all of the moms being in their own lifeboats with their kids was great. And I appreciated that he said all the moms are doing a good job and he has hope. I like that. It is one of the best bits of the season. And I hope that Gabe, Garrison and Gwen are able to live together without incident. I'm going to guess that they will.

Hmmm. Kody's and Robin's love is a place of solace for them and Kody resents not being allowed to showing that around his other wives. He really doesn't care about anyone or anything but Kody and his 'pencil.'

Welcome All! A quick note to move this to the top of the thread lists. I think it is odd that Robyn and Kody don't ride over together. We all know they live together, and he works from there. Do they think they are fooling us by pretending they haven't prepped for the call at their home.

Don't allow yourself to be tricked. The bar is low. Meri is just less odious than Robyn or Kody. I like seeing her realize that Robyn and Kody are craptastic narcissists, but that doesn't mean that Meri isn't selfish or cruel. So I have decided to say that I am enjoying Meri this season.

Great, but I don't think there will be any hair left on the head beyond the mouth and chin.

I read that it will be coming back in January 2024.
