Yes, I also noticed this. It looks to me like Kody has really been practicing a stone face for these scenes. He does not want to give away ANYTHING in his face and keep up with the "I don't care cause I didn't love them anyway" facade.

I spent the majority of my youth in the horse world. I have never known anyone to wear horse jewelry who was NOT in the horse world or in love with horsey country cowboy culture. I would love to know the reality of the purchase besides the bullsh*t "it's a cool ring".

I watched the episode last night and again this morning, but with tea instead of sangria... 😉 I think this Christine is just Christine. I now suspect that she has been reigned in from the beginning by Kody's demands on what to put out publicly. Now that she faces no punishment from Kody for being "herself" on camera, the gloves are off. I also think she told the story to point out a horrible thing Kody did...not to purposely humiliate Meri. Though if there were any threads left between Christine and Meri...they are long gone. However... I also feel like Christine is on a high from the attention. She is an animated person to begin with...and she is riding that high.

Old news is pretty much all they have left.

So Kody doesn't get asked about the melted down ring? Just the swap between the claddagh ring and the pony ring?

So it's all been fakity fake between Meri and Kody from the get go

They just need to put on wet suits and bring in a giant pool of jello and battle it out.

Robyn has her share of stretch marks. Sadly we were forced to see them when she filmed getting a sonogram.

Straw occasionally has weeds in it, but not often and you can get the occasional briar or thistle. It is best to wear gloves when handling straw or hay.

That guy does not look like Nathan to me. When he did his talking head about "the wives who stay with Kody will have a wild ride" quote he had dark hair and was...well...creepy.

My two cents. When someone is putting another person down, especially in the rude/cruel way that Kody has been doing lately they often give away something about themselves. I think there is a lot in the statement he made about Garrison/Gabe during Covid "only wanting to get their pencil wet". Kody only knows how he felt at their age and gave away a tidbit...on camera. Also...in my humble opinion of the subject...I believe Kody is selfish and Janelle has low expectations.

I am a frugal, pragmatic person and I grew up dirt poor. My husband and I have gone through tough times and my frugality and "make it work" lessons from my Grandmother paid off. I have never been able to wrap my head around how they divided up the finances. My ideals on the outside looking into polygamy is the whole social aspect. Everything goes for everyone. At best an allowance for pocket money that can be spent with frivolity and no judgement from others, but only if all expenses are covered first. The basic needs of the children should have never been divided by the mothers, but the children's needs should have come from the family pot. Or have two family pots, one for everyday and another like a savings account for unexpected incidentals. The Browns' problems is that at the head is a man who is a special snowflake and wants to spend on showy "look at me" items at the expense of the well being of his children. The family cars are falling apart but he has a big motorcycle and sports car and he's "a watch guy". In my opinion every dinner should have been a family dinner with a rotation of cooking duties. But...I am just looking in with my pragmatic opinion.

That's the most disjointed fridge clean word salad I think I have ever read. I had to read it over and over to make any sense of it. SNOW!!? Snow is the reason that they couldn't hang out. Oh my...I might not be able to drive home through the snow!! I have a deep feeling that Robyn used snow as the excuse....not the others. I suspect that meeting way back when that Kody had with a lawyer fired him up that he only wants to put rentals on the CP lots. He is happy in his house on the hill. He wants a giant storage warehouse and passive rental income.

Back when I had chickens and had to get their water to them first thing I had the same issue with ice etc. I found something I call "ice walkers". Essentially a rubbery thing you can stretch over the bottom of your shoe/boot that has spikes on the bottom. So when you walk on icy patches you have spikes to help grip the surface. There are lots of different kinds out there according to google. For most of the winter I would just leave them on my boots so I didn't have to put them on and off everytime I went up to the coop or out with the dogs. It takes a bit getting used to walking with them, but they saved me from falling a LOT in the winter.

I'll add to your last statement that with Kody, it is also transactional. Kody will only give favor to those who serve his needs first and foremost. If your Kody currency runs dry then you no longer have anything to negotiate with. ...I really do hate using Kody language... But being an Office fan, I can also picture Kody handing out his own version of "Schrute Bucks".

Yea. There is so many layers to the whole catfish time. It's hard to wrap your head around that in real time it was only about 6 months until Meri figured it out...but wow...what a 6 months that was. In the end it was only the beginning of such a rushing shit show river. I have often wondered if Meri's "punishment" back then was to be forced to keep talking and talking about it on camera.

I think that Kody is using Janelle's little tree as an excuse. I personally think that his actual trigger point was her apartment, and maybe the tree lumped in with it. In the full clip shown in an earlier episode there is a point when Kody is leaving her kitchenette and walking back to the couch during the fight. He makes the point that she made decisions without him and at the same time he looks back and forth and points one hand towards the living area and the other the dining area as if gesturing to the apartment in general. I think that he is generally pissed off that Janelle chose such a shitty little apartment. King Kody deserves big houses with big garages and big trees and big backyards and at Christmas, miles of Village house figurines and giant trees with giant piles of presents. But Janelle didn't consult with him to buy the RV and then she chose a shitty little student housing apartment and he couldn't even fit his hair products in the tiny little shower or his bedside table for all his books. The kitchen had no room for his freezer (??) And when he was letting it all out...he lumped her little tree in with it, and then used the tree as the excuse, but he was really pissed because it was her job to keep a house worthy of King Kody. AND... I think that reasoning can also explain why Meri made sure to keep a big house worthy of Kody, because in the end she really knows him best.

Kody's great negotiation skills got the seller to drop the CC&R's if Kody would agree to pay to pull the electric. He later said that that "meant he would just have to pay the builder a bit more money to install the electric". Which made it obvious that he really didn't understand the reality of the building "from raw" that the property would take.

Back then Meri was the primary seller for their MLM the LIV water. Her and Kody used to tweet open invites to her house for recruitment parties.

Kody pontificates. Christine is snarky. Janelle speaks plainly. Robyn pokes her eyes....a lot. Meri...was there.

Cage Match !!

"Dove into my humanity..." Wait...Kody has been keeping this humanity secret until now.

To keep the horse shit from falling out.

It might be a lot of extra work, but you could take a smaller box and fit it inside a large box and stuff straw between the layers. That would really insulate the inner box against the cold.

I love LOVE my Honda CRV. Mine is a 2005 and my daughter has a 2019.
