    That was so strange and disturbing.  It was like Robyn was trying to pretend that Kody was their biological dad and that the other one never existed.  

    And wasn't the picture of Kootie given to the artist making the family portrait a photo of him with Christine's kids? Robyn was thrilled to steal Christine's husband and her kids' father and put him in the center of her own family.

    Janelle even was "quiet quitting" on the morning of Maddie's wedding to go fishing. 😉

    I don't get it. What is Kody and Robyn's strategy to leaving all those negative comment up on IG?

    There are no comments on Kody's latest IG post. He may have thought he blocked all comments, but people saw that they could post the truth on his second-last IG post.  Does Robyn have a current IG? Google just takes me to an ancient one no longer used.

    I mean...for one, we did not ALL start as equals here. And Presidents, I imagine, can be pretty imperious, just like any other powerful person. 

    Especially when there were slaves in the White House.

    Considering her point was about how these stories of women who are forced by the government to carry a dead fetus to term and so on weren't happening before Roe was overturned, she was correct. They were not happening before.

    Though some Catholics would wait until God decided it was time.  The mother of a collegue's wife from Colombia was bullying her to carry a fetus that died at 8 mos for another month, but luckily her husband and her doctor persuaded  her not to ruin her own health.  It was very sad.

    Sunny apparently wasn't listening when Sara recited the facts. Sunny seemed to think the 1.3% wanted to kill the fetus close to birth on a whim when those were the ones with the most severe medical problems. Stacey made this clear too.

    Sunny also learned something from Jameela that has been known since ~2013 - the morning after pill does not work reliably on overweight and obese women (BMIs >26).  It reminds me that a course of antibiotics makes the pill less effective, but doctors rarely told people that until ~30 yrs after the pill was invented. But even today I suspect that only happens when the same doctor prescribes both pills or the patient uses the same pharmacist for everything. Considering that 67% of the population is overweight or obese and many doctors hand out antibiotics like candy, assuming birth control is always 100% effective is naive.

    When you look back at the series, you see this complete absence of empathy and sympathy throughout the show on all kinds of occasions. 

    I had no empathy or sympathy for Mr. Know-it-all Kootie when he sprayed himself with the RV sewer hose, one of my favourite scenes.

    They were dividing the show money six ways (5 adults and a family pot).  If Christine gets paid from TLC separately she should get a fifth.  That would frost Kody.

    Kootie & Robyn get 2/5 ths for their one household, so they better not complain.

  7. I suspect it was Robyn that put the greedy boyfriend idea into Kootie's empty head along with sleeping on Christine's couch to hold on to the house. She entered the Brown family as the greedy girlfriend and took over the whole family, so she knows it is possible.

  8. This episode made me think of the time Christine & Kootie went away on a trip that I think Nancy recommended to work on their relationship problems.  They built a cairn to celebrate their couple bond, then Kootie proclaimed that it was for his whole family, not the two of them. Christine looked disgusted, but Kootie didn't and still doesn't understand her legitimate concerns.

    I wonder if the show is going to move away from including her much at all, except to make her look like a chump with no guts.

    It was refreshing to hear Christine clearly & calmly say what she felt and thought.  In old Meri episodes there'd be a long buildup and then Meri would "put up her walls" (even with Nancy-the-'therapist') and shut up or walk out. Not productive and not at all interesting for viewers.

    I obviously missed something here. Why doesn't Whoopi have eyebrows?!!

    As a kid she got eyebrow hair folicle bumps/infections so her mother plucked out the offending hairs & Whoopi continued. Probably few hairs grow anymore.

    Is it wrong that part of me wants this and would watch the shit out of it! Oh and he would taller and better looking than Kody, with an actual profession, his own money (lots of it and invests it wisely), adores the shit out Christine and she him, spoils her rotten and they can barely keep their paws off each other.  Make it so universe (and one for me too).

    And a full head of hair.

    Yea thats always bugged me too.  They take so much time 'prefacing' the question that there's no time for the answer.

    I wish some of the guests would ask "Was there a question in there somewhere?" - slightly rude, but deserved.

    I also Just realized Kody inadvertently  gave something away when he was insisting Christine not get a greedy boyfriend. That is what Meri did. So Kody just admitted that Meri had gotten her own post-divorce boyfriend. That divorce was real. Change my mind. 

    I suspect a greedy boyfriend is the last thing on Christine's mind. Now that she knows she can support herself & Truely, she can wait for someone who isn't a soul-crushing deadweight like Kootie. Perhaps someone with a good job, health coverage and a future pension. She saw greedy Robyn coming for the fambly assets from a mile away, unlike Kootie, who still cannot see how Robyn manipulates everyone.
