I agree. Jeff Lewis needs serious help and not the kind of help a therapist who is spoon feeding his ego would give him. He needs to face the fact that he is abusive to just about everyone-even his partner. I will never watch this show if it is picked up by someone else. I won't support the kind of behavior I have seen from Jeff Lewis. He's awful. As for Jenni, I am 100% with her on this. He went crazy on her in that car. I can only imagine the kind of things he has said when the cameras weren't rolling.

My POV is that none of this is about Jenni at this point. It's all about Jeff. No one can talk back to/disagree with this egotistical, OCD, selfish man. I used to like Jeff Lewis. I thought he was funny. The last 2 years or so have shown me a completely different side to him. When he's wrong he can never, ever admit it without a "BUT" and turning the situation around to point a finger at the target of the day. Prior to Jenni walking in for their "lunch" he was visibly shaking. His head does an odd little shake when he is furious and being self righteous. Watch it again. He has that shake. His apology was meh. Complete BS for the cameras. He is a mean, self centered asshole and I'm sure there are many, many people who have left his life that feel that way. Gage is no better. That he stays with this abuser speaks volumes about him. I'm sure there are many other men who would be interested in Gage. He's handsome, seems to have a sweet side to him when it comes to his child, has the ability to make enough money to help support his family. What on earth is he doing with Jeff Lewis? As someone who always thought Jeff was entertaining and clever it is huge for me to write something like this about him. I admired his love for his grandmother. I admire his talent and ability to envision what a complete piece of junk house can become. Now I think he has incredibly difficult emotional and mental health issues that will never be resolved. For whatever reasons therapy doesn't seem to help. His narcissism and controlling behavior is so painfully obvious and eventually turns into abuse. You don't have to physically harm someone to be abusive. He knows how to hurt with words and attitude and he enjoys it while he's doing it. I hope the show is not renewed. It's unhealthy for all involved. I feel sorry for Monroe. I hope to God the love he has for that child saves her from the disturbed guy he has evolved into. Shut it down. I hope he gets the proper mental health help and not some therapist who feeds his ego and tells him what he wants to hear.

Jason is garbage. That he would do this now shows he is exactly what many of us thought. A gold digging, controlling, abusive rat. B is no angel but he is using this kid as a pawn and that's so wrong!

Or it could have simply been a kind friend who could see how horrified and sad she was. Remember that? Kindness? Yes, even B gets to have that in her life. Sad.

I feel sorry for Bethenny. I'm shocked at all the shots being taken all over the internet. Whatever was going on with Dennis is immaterial. She is probably heartbroken. I can't speak to what she knew or didn't know nor can anyone else. As for Carol, I have never liked her. She is distant, haughty and completely boring. That she would take shots during a horrible time like this speaks to her lack of integrity and character. She's way more damaged than I thought.

Let me wrap this up. Carole is a boring, self centered, haughty woman. People call Sonja "grey gardens" but Carole is more Grey Gardens than anyone. She dresses like a 20 something hipster-which is not a good look. She is never pulled together. She lived with Adam and could not wait to get rid of him. Does this not give any of you an idea of what was going on? He was mooching off of her. She was paying for everything. All of this screams Sex and the City and it's so old and tired and over! I am no big fan of B's so I don't have any big interest in one over the other in this battle, but Carole has turned me off for years. She's closed up emotionally and seems to see herself as some major player on RHONY. She's the least interesting. Adam was her story for a bit. Riding on bicycle handlebars as if she was in a movie. For God's sake she picked him up in Lu's kitchen! And he's not good looking or desirable financially or ambitious! Face it, Carole needed a story line this season and now she has one. Fight with B. OH YAWN. Even that makes her a bore. The journalist story is old and in the past. The novelist, obviously, is not her thing because she has no discipline and it is very questionable that there was ever another book deal because Carole didn't know about DEADLINES? Oh, come on! Maybe Aviva was right about Carole all along! Maybe there was a ghost writer-which served as another story line for Carole on yet another season. I would not miss Carole if she was gone. She brings nothing except ugly clothes and this haughty disinterest in life in general. She's a complete bore.

Well, I hung in there for the season and I will watch the reunion shows only because I put myself through the rest of it! I'm done, I think. I use the DVR and FF through most of it anyway. Used to be one of my favorite HW's series. Now, it's turned into a boring circus of stupidity. Kandi should just phone it in. She's obviously staying with it to promote her other ventures I guess. Tired cast. Time to let it go.

THIS!~~And the post you quoted. Meri is not my hero but to say she has not been treated like garbage for years and years is a convenient lie. Janelle wanted Kody. She shamelessly chased him-as Kody himself has said. She left and returned. She is NOT the model of a polygamist wife! Christine had her years of break down time if you recall. Unhappy, snippy to Kody, obviously not sleeping with him. But these two get a pass for past transgressions? I think Meri took a lot of shit from these 2. Not sure about Robyn. Maybe lately. Christine was a bitch last episode and Janelle was a super bitch. Suddenly the blimp is in 1st place because her daughter supplied the first grandchild? These people have insane award systems within their family! Meri has soured over the years as the other 3 have gone up in favor with that creeper Kody. Let them have him. Get out and find a man who you can live happily in your family home. Let kody move some other victim into the LV house and just walk away and let it be their problem. Honestly, Meri has friends and they all seem jealous of that. She has found a way to make some money with that Lularoe clothing line for now. At least she is trying. What money have the others brought in other than TLC? Kody? Get a damned job!

Not sure if that story about another potential wife is true. I read about it today and it seems kind of odd. Does it mean Meri is really going to leave the family? Is this potential 5th wife going to take over M's house in the LV dead end compound? Kody is getting up there for having kids. He may biologically be able to have them until he's 100 but what woman would want kids with the potential of a geezer for a dad? Is that mean? Probably. We are having our 2nd grandchild and I don't think we are "old" but my husband is too freaking old to have a toddler and guarantee that he will be here once that baby is 20! I know there are a lot of desperate women out there who would do this-especially for the nice living accommodations-if Meri does decide to leave the family and go to Per-whatever (can't ever remember how to spell that "magical" place). ~ As for the other kids being a good place for Meri to invest her motherly love in I have to say that they don't show much of that kind of thing on the shows. Not only for Meri but with the other SW's. I don't see them hugging on the other women's kids-or maybe I am not looking for it so I don't notice. Going by what I know as far as my nieces and nephew go, myy brother's kids love me. They kiss and hug me and since my niece had a baby she is always picking him up and giving him to me for kisses and such. Am I missing this on the show? ~For sure Christine is the new flavor of the season for now. The "my love" and the kisses goodbye before driving away with Meri clicked just as it played. She's his favorite for now. Robin is not so entranced with him anymore and she is busy with the 2 little ones as well as the 3 others in their teen years. She's also not the skinny thing she used to be. Christine is getting what she didn't get in the beginning when kody thought she was fat and said he was grossed out by her over heaped plate of food while on some date! She is way too jolly and happy these days for it to be anything other than kody paying attention to her over the others.

Must have been a run on leasing cars in LV! I noticed the shiny cars too-especially since mr.mariareads is driving a 10 year old car & we are wondering whether to dip our toe in a new yet. As for janelle and what she does-it's not exercising! Sorry but she seemed HUGE to me in the last 2 episodes. For someone who has something to do with STRIVE (I only know about it because you all post about it) I would have guessed maybe go to the fitness center for an hour a day-but that clearly isn't it. She doesn't work outside of that house that we know of. She never mentions a job anymore. Her kids are not little so she's not killing herself chasing toddlers or elementary school play dates. Sorry to mention this but it's not cleaning that house! Reading what you all write here made me notice how messy their places are! I actually watched the birthing episode on FF just to see what you were all talking about!! So..what does that leave? Watching TV? Taking 10 months to gather info to do their taxes? She hates to go to lunch to that's out. Beats the heck out of me what Janelle does all day! I only know I'm going to pay for today by doing laundry, cleaning the entire house and getting ready for another freaking snowstorm on Wednesday! Oh SisterWives. What a mess!

So it's the night after the show. Not a one of them has added anything to twitter. Kody never wrote anything last night. So...the only reason they are on twitter is, obviously, to promote the new episode. In other words-they don't give a damn except for the check. Other than Madison giving birth, what was there to this season anyway? NOTHING. Some marriages and bad acting by Christine and fawning by Janelle (who, by the way, made me want to puke because she was so proud and preening about being a grandmother and saying "this is because of us! We did this!" which is kind of sick in itself! Then there was the let's complain and carry on about Meri part and her tears in return. Oh, let's not forget the Mariah is a lesbian schtick and the over-torn jeans. So everyone watched for nothing. I take it you all watch for the snark? And now there is another season. Any bets that it's the last? ~I was home all day today with an aching back and nothing to do but look around the internet so I finally saw their twitter accounts. it's the same MO. Tweet during an episode. Reading the people who fawn over each of the women was pukable. Do they know these women absolutely do not care if you like them? They just want you to watch the show so they can have the check and get the latest QVC Temptations casserole sets and go to Home Goods (nothing wrong with HG-I happen to love the place) for more word porn for their empty walls. Do I think there are personal problems within those 4 houses? Yup. Do I think Meri should leave? Yup. Do I really care all that much? Nope.It has given me some moments of complete certainty, however. Polygamy does not work. Doesn't work when they are young and it doesn't work when they are old. It's BS. Even if I do look at them as each person individually-I still come back to the group scam thing. Hope they have some other way lined up to make a dollar because this bus is not going to be pushed by TLC much longer.

I saw that. Only because I am stuck inside today and am bored so I went searching. They only tweet when their show is on I noticed. He really wasn't featured last night so he didn't bother. Story of his life. And yes, I blame Kody for most of the mess in this family. Creeper. Agreed. Is Meri the only one working at something other than Robyn and SWC? No one else has a job. TLC can't be paying that much to float all those boats/floats/canoes!

I agree. However people here feel about Meri I see it a little differently. She married Kody. He decides he's going to start his own "church" and live plural marriage. Who does he choose? Meri's ex-sister-in-law? Come on...that in itself is bizarre. Skip ahead after all that has gone on. I don't think Meri likes plural marriage. I think she stayed because she loved Kody (ugh) and to be honest I thought Janelle was a bitch in this episode and I thought Christine was a bitch. Meri has done wrong but there is nothing wrong with thinking I'm going to have a husband and a home and babies. It didn't quite work out that way and if I was her, I would leave and find another life. This family is a disaster. They don't want her. I never stay where I'm not wanted.

Reading her letter or whatever it is tells me that she needs to get out of Jersey and go to Boca where she can live a make believe life in a make believe world and imagine she is with "her people". This one is nuts.

Siggy is a whining, angry, unhinged person who is so wrong and so ignorant they need to send her to school to re-learn everything she missed. Buy bye nutso. We don't need to see you anymore. I think she really has serious mental problems. Delores is tough girl BS. I know Teresa is too but Delores makes Teresa look calm. They way she went for Danielle was not normal. Is D a bit of a low brow? Oh yeah, but Delores's remarks to her were uncalled for because they consisted of name calling most of the time. This from a woman who is friends with Kim D? Get out of here! I still like Margaret. I think Siggy has screws loose over Margaret for some reason. Bringing up her business issues had NOTHING to do with crazy Siggy's intentional misinterpretation of Margaret's remark about Hitler. Maybe sign isn't smart enough to get what Margaret said. I take that back. Obviously Siggy wasn't smart enough to understand. I think Margaret took a beating because Siggy was being 12 years old and wanted to hold onto Melissa and Teresa's "cookies" as her own. She's cracked. As long a Siggy is gone I will watch next season. Delores-hit the gym and go see a food coach. You looked like you needed to lose 40 pounds in that hideous sequined nightmare you were wearing. What a slob.
