It is startling to see how happy Meri is in the photo when compared to her demeanor on the show. Meri needs out of the family for everyone's sake.

It just dawned on me that Meri could remodel the shed into a store which sold Robyn's jewelry, Kody's green drink and Meri's Luleroe fashions. Christine could make a cookbook and Janelle could just be intimidated by the whole thing.

In some of the past seasons the atmosphere at the Ponderosa seemed quite toxic. This Ponderosa seems to have a positive vibe and everyone seems much more likeable than in the game. I wish the Ponderosa videos were longer.

No, Meri didn't t post them but they were posted for the world to see never the less. That is what made Mariah so upset. Meri got played, which made the whole situation doubly degrading for the family. While there may be worse stuff out there on the 'net, there isn't anything worse for the Brown family.

I firmly believe that the Brown adults and older children have seen the photos of Meri with the banana, the name scratched on the leg, the delivery of the cheesy bouquet of flowers, who knows what else. Meri posted that stuff herself! It is small wonder that now Meri is embarrassed and depressed and it is small wonder that the family has distanced themselves from her. I think that it is in Christine's nature to care for the downtrodden but everyone else is rightly over Meri. I would be if Meri were in my family.

I couldn't figure out what the deal was with the lack of clothes in the bedroom scene. Thank you for the info. It still seems strange to me though.

The way Tony looked when Maddie's birthing clips were shown at the Tell All, I think that Tony and Mykelti will have a hospital birth. Tony is going to need lots and lots of drugs to get through it!

Kody will never throw Meri out of the family. He does not was to be the bad guy. He enjoys the victim role as much as Meri does. Kody is less in your face about it.

The show goes around in circles. We on the forum are just in the merry- go 'round....or make that the Meri go 'round.

Love their smiles!

Chris is in for a lot of surprises when he watched the show and sees how people really feel about him. That 11 person match to get water was hilariuos.

I wasn't....eye candy. Ack, my husband says I being sexist!

I could be just naive but I find Chris really funny. I can't take a thing he says seriously. He has to be creating a parody of himself, doesn't he? Nobody is that clueless about themselves,are they?

No, no, no! Chris was eye candy for me. If only he hadn't spoken, sigh.

Are these good ratings?

You are absolutely correct with your last sentence. My husband and I married at the ages of 21 (me) and 19 (him) after knowing each other for two weeks. 46 years later I can tell you that we made a choice to work really, really hard with our marriage.

I just figured out why I like this show.....It is a soap opera!!!!

Meri was raised in polygamy. Her father was a pillar of their church. She knew what polygamy was all about. I am sure she saw the good, the bad and the ugly of polygamy. It is her character and personality that poisoned the family. It was interesting to see the expressions on the faces of the other wives when Meri told her story at the end of the night. Stick a fork in them, anyone?

The kids seem like really good kids. I think that all of them, even the challenging ones feel loved by all the adults. Robyn's girls seemed to have settled down and are not as needy as they were in the beginning.

Their "courtship" is described in their book. The book is good background for what is currently happening with the adults, especially Meri. She had a rocky relationship with Kody way before the show and Robyn. She had big issues with Christine, as well as with Janelle. I think that Meri was Kody 's big mistake but for his religious reason he will not be the one to tell a wide to leave. You all know that I meant to type wife, right? Ack!

Heard he was working at Home Depot and going to school. He and Maddie also got their own apartment.

Meri was the one who repeatedly told Kody to stay away. If my SO told me that and then wanted me to come over to get the ladder, it would be a resounding F OFF! I AM ON Team Kod y where Meri is concerned.....Bless my heart!

I just re watched the first season and Mari talked about having difficulties with Kody for years. I think that she brought Robyn into the family in order to get into Kody's good graces.

I just rewatched season 1 and Meri and Kod y admitted to martial that existed for almost 10 years into their marriage. While Meri said she was all about the family, she admitted to negative feelings towards the other wives, especially Robyn. Meri was negative and annoying from the beginning of the show. Not much has changed, well except the strange fashion.
