Yes, I'm all for this! She did NOT want the family. She wanted their money, PERIOD!

I wonder if Kootie and Sobbyn get those meal kit deliveries instead of going to the store on a regular basis. That would seem right up their alley. Minimal effort. The meal looked pretty sad compared to what those kits usually offer but many have a low calorie or lean option. It would be just like them to use a meal kit delivery to make boring old chicken, baked potatoes and broccoli that they probably could have bought themselves for less. And no way Kootie and Sobbyn each had half a piece of chicken. The kids had to split the other four breasts among the 7 of them. Maybe Dayton got his own.

I think they were enamoured by the prospect of having four new homes in a small gated community so they could be near each other but maintain some independence from each other, and have their privacy. I think Meri getting an equal sized home was more of a problem for the viewers than their family. Within their family, she was the legal wife and always benefitting from the same budget as the others, even though she only had one child. It's the way they set up their finances at the time, and she was vocal about why she deserved it, and was determined to maintain the status quo in that regard. She once said something along the lines of planning to have 8 kids but only getting one, and how that wasn't her fault, and she shouldn't be punished financially for it. Having said that, I agree with what other posters have said about the benefit of Meri's house being used for their MLMs, but I think she might have been pushed to use her house that way by the others. I remember in the episode where they were selecting the options for each house, Kody was pleading with Meri to make up her mind on the finishings, and to consider regular features instead of upgraded ones. I specifically remember one exchange about French doors off the dining area, where Meri barked, "I'm not havin' a slider, Kody!" She was miserable, demanding, insufferable and completely exasperating in that episode. Kinda like Kody.

Plus she had to look after the tender-aged children (who were in school all day).

Oh lordy, I just realized she's the only remaining "wife" who's only been with Kody. That would be enough to make anyone miserable.

I don't remember Dayton's name coming up at all. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time they talked about him specifically.

I would add to this: “Since I'm completely unskilled and uneducated I can't get a job anywhere else, so I need the show to shill my mlm schemes, plus everybody hates Kody and Robyn, and why would I let those assholes make TLC money and not get any for myself, so I’m cool with still filming.”

OK this has been bugging me for some time and it just came into focus when I watched the Tell Nothing Part 3 last night: Remember a few episodes ago when Kody, Robyn and the kids trick-or-treated at their own house and in the background, Dayton was spotted coming out of a camping trailer? The speculation at the time was, is Dayton living in that trailer, or just hiding in there for the kids to come and trick or treat at the door? Well, in the Tell Nothing Part 3, when Kody is ranting about Covid compliance, he said "Robyn brought her kids, same ages as Garrison and Gabriel, into full compliance on our Covid agreement. And when they didn't, they got to be out of the home." Kinda sounds like Dayton might have been living in the camping trailer. And if so, it also brings new meaning to Robyn's comment earlier in the season "I don't think anyone should have to live in a trailer."

I also find it interesting. Were they fraternal or identical triplets, or a combination? I conceived my children at 35 and 38, and was warned with both pregnancies that there would be an increased likelihood of fraternal twins because as we age, the body has a tendency to release multiple eggs each month instead of the singular egg we are taught about in health class. I was also told it could take longer to conceive. I got pregnant the first month of trying with both of my children. Who knows, that could have been because there were a dozen eggs hanging out in there each month. They were also both single pregnancies, as evidenced by early ultrasounds (around the 7 week mark if memory serves). Mykelti's not of advanced reproductive age, but there's no hard data on exactly how many eggs are released at any given time during a woman's reproductive lifespan.

Silly putty. If you pressed a thumb in her forehead, the dent would last all day.

YES!!! The perfect comparison! The wicked stepmother and evil step sisters!

I thought the same thing, there he is, manspreading into the aisle, trying to assert his dominance over a situation where he has absolutely no power, control or starring role.

Well, along with being a raging a-hole and narcissist, Kanye suffers from bipolar disorder. In addition to also being being a raging a-hole and narcissist, untreated bipolar disorder could be an explanation for some of Kody's bizarre behaviour. (Apologies to anyone who may suffer from bipolar disorder. Most people with bipolar disorder are normal people who conduct themselves completely differently from those two clowns.)

Agreed, the source is likely "family" money. If memory serves, Robyn's LV house was the first of the bunch to sell. When they moved to Flagstaff, Meri, Janelle and Robyn rented and they bought a house for Christine because she had a cat and couldn't find a rental that allowed animals. I don't remember the exact time frame of the sale of Robyn's house and Christine's Flagstaff house purchase, but it doesn't matter. It's just Kody applying his own brand of semantics in an attempt to discredit Christine and exert some form of ownership over her home. When Kody removed his name from Christine's house, (and likely a ton of cash from the "family" account to buy Robyn's palatial kingdom) he lost most if not all of his claim to it. I suspect this is one reason why Janelle hasn't left yet - she doesn't have any way of extricating her share of the family finances, as she hasn't tied any of it up in an asset that exists in her name only. Buying her "fixer upper" might have aided in this, if she could have pulled from the family account to help buy it (assuming there's anything left in there). As someone upthread astutely pointed out, does that mean that Meri, Janelle and Christine, whose houses sold in the following months, own part of Robyn's McMansion? Yes, based on Kody's logic, they absolutely do, but legally, could be hard to argue.

Ok, so Janelle has addressed the fresh water situation (two 300 gallon water tanks) and the black water situation (hiring someone to pump her septic tank weekly) but what about the grey water situation? If she's going through hundreds of gallons of water weekly, between cooking, cleaning, drinking and showering, does she have another standalone tank for grey water as well, or is she just dumping that on Coyote Pass? Two showers alone could fill a typical RV grey water tank. Edit: Maybe this is how she plans to keep Plague Pond topped up? *barf emoji*
