Agree, Meri lost control over Kody years ago, and this time her darts were thrown at him rather than to him. I agree Meri tells lies too.
IMO, Christine's IG statement about leaving Kody was directed by TLC. Janelle isn't saying anything on SM (other than "just me") because it will be addressed in the last episode. Meri, IMO is being cryptic because she hasn't given up.
Also, the upcoming tell-all was filmed a couple of months ago. If Janelle is announcing now that she's separated from Kody now, when did the separation happen? This season of Sister Wives ended before Christmas of 2021. We have almost a year between the last episode and Janelle's announcement, so does this mean Janelle and Kody were still together for most of 2022? So next season will be about them separating? Or is Janelle and Kody lying now to keep the super sleuths at bay and to keep the show going?
The tell all was filmed in September of this year, and Janelle mentions they've been separated for several months at that time. It seems like it might be since around April when they are considering themselves separated - which coincides with when Janelle went to Portugal on her dream trip and took her sister.

Ha, the Browns have made headlines in Europe too! That's pretty interesting as I can't remember many instances where they actually made headiness over here. It's just the gossip websites and magazines that occasionally mention them, if at all.
But there you go....the news is out in the open internationally as well.
Edited to add: Hadn't seen Sunny's post who mentioned the article a few hours back. But there's still the fact that it's "big" news over here 😉
And they tried to make it more salacious by repeatedly calling Janelle Kody's stepsister. They forgot to add she was also Meri's sister in law.

There was lots of speculation last year when it was leaked online that Christine's house was put up for sale, then she had social media photos in a different home than her Flagstaff home. That did go on for months, but the official public announcement was Nov 2 as @Twopper mentioned above. Both Kody and Christine posted officially on their Instagram pages.
I think Janelle might even be in a different apartment than the one she moved into after putting the RV up for the winter of 2021. The kitchen in recent social media photos is very different from the one that can be seen on the show.
I noticed that too. She must have moved again after the apartment in town she got when she stored the RV. That first apartment had cheap white kitchen cabinets and countertop, her new (current) place that she shows on instagram has nice maple wood cabinets and stone counters.

I think it's the pine cones on her skirt and the pine cones on the tree that match?

-She was indeed talking to others about leaving him when they were in Vegas. Janelle gave her good advice and said you can't leave until you can afford (financially) to support yourself. (This gives me hope that Plexxus is pretty damn lucrative for them both and Janelle also sorted her finances out and was able to separate herself.)
Do you think it's the Plexxus that makes Christine the money, or the LuLaRoe? I assumed the LuLaRoe made her more. And her "Cooking with Christine" segment probably makes more than the LuLaroe?

When janelle shoots down his dumb ideas, why can he not finish a sentence ? He should if his thinking was actually logical And why dues he say it would be easy to buy Christine’s house ? She does not have to accept his offer
Christine couldn't afford to give Janelle a discount on her house, she needed every last bit of equity to move on. Janelle could literally buy any other house in Flagstaff for $700,000 (that's what Christine got for her house) and come out the same as buying Christine's house - since the mortgage lender isn't going to care that it is her sister wife's house. Kudos to Janelle for not letting Kody talk to her into buying Christine's house when it wasn't her dream house.

Regarding Crystal Ball - I hear you all loud and clear. Sorry to anyone who was offended by it. I won't link her posts here anymore.
It wasn't a complete waste, I did learn something from the video - the diagram showing the pipeline running through the property was new information, basically showing Kody can't split that far right piece with the trees three ways like he wants.

Does it seem weird to anyone else that Maddie and Savannah are sitting in the second row farthest away from the center aisle - meanwhile Meri, Leon and Audrey are front row center?

I was confused about the bit regarding the well house and Kody's cistern. Was the problem that the neighborhood on Coyote Pass couldn't finish the well house (that they all share) until Kody installed his cistern on his own property? Or was Kody putting the cistern in for the entire Coyote Pass neighborhood?

So, were there any of Logan’s family members in the bridal party, besides Hunter?
I was wondering the same thing. Why not have Savannah as a bridesmaid?

I've seen speculation on Reddit that Robyn's goiter is a result of Hashimoto's disease, which is an autoimmune disorder involving the thyroid. If she has that, or another condition (or is on medication) which affects her immune system, it might explain Kody's strict Covid rules and why they are not filming inside her house.
I've noticed they don't film inside any of the houses anymore - not Christine's or Robyn's or Meri's. They always sit outside. Also it didn't seem like the episode where Mykelti had the home birth was Mykelti's actual house either.

I guess I like Sister Schuberts because they don't need to be defrosted. Resealable bag, grab a couple and toss them in the oven at the last minute.
I agree with preferring to cook from frozen, I'm terrible at remembering to defrost things. I like the frozen Pillsbury biscuits for that same reason - you can throw them in the oven last minute.

Actually I missed it until now and I'm always on the lookout for a good yeasty roll. Are the SS rolls in the grocery store? Freezer section?
Yes, freezer section where garlic bread etc is. They are good but they don't rise - they stay oddly flat. They remind me of Texas Roadhouse rolls but flat.

Right. I’m just trying to recall in real time when that happened. They are a year behind on the show, but we watched what was actually happening with Janelle and the 5th wheel on her thread here, due to her social media postings.
It was somewhere around the beginning of November last year she moved into the apartment in Flagstaff with Savannah. She posted an Instagram of her moving the trailer to storage on Nov. 7th.

The amazing mystery about Coyote Pass is how they afforded it in the first place: They paid $820,000 for the 4 lots, putting down $527,600 and financing $292,400. How did they come up with the $527,600 down payment to buy the lots - as this was BEFORE they sold their Las Vegas houses.

What's especially sad is Janelle's old house in Las Vegas is probably worth about $862,000 now (she sold for around $575K when they moved). She personally would have had much more equity in her own name if they had stayed put. Kody and Robyn probably don't care though because their Flagstaff house has risen in value anyway.

I thought she bought it, no?
I think she rents, although I'm not positive.

From the article about tonight's episode.
Janelle admits that she realized she doesn’t have any assets for her children since everyone else in the family’s name is also on it. “I have gotten myself in a very stupid position as far as an independent woman. If I were to leave, or want to leave right now, I would have no estates. I have nothing to leave to my kids. My hands are completely tied ’cause everything I have asset-wise has everybody else’s name on it, too,” Janelle admits.
I feel sorry for Janelle in regards to the real estate holdings in the family. She lost out by not having a house in her name in Flagstaff, to build equity. The Coyote Pass lots were bought as 4 separate deeds, and the one deed that has Janelle's name on it was purchased for $170,000 but they only put $23,800 down on it and financed the rest ($147,200). Robyn's lot was identically financed. Meri's lot and Christine's lot were paid in full. I'm curious how Kody views the nearly $800,000 in "theoretical" equity he has in his and Robyn's house - does he view that as part Janelle's?

This adds to the crazy. From the get-go the Browns, including Janelle herself, sold us on the financial wizard that is Janelle.
Robyn is living in a million dollar mansion, Christine owns a home in UT, Meri owns Lizzie's and Janelle owns a depreciating RV and a pile of poopy dirt.
Janelle really did lose out financially by not buying a house in Flagstaff when the rest of them did. Robyn and Kody paid $890,000 for their house in 2019 (when Robyn had the meltdown about buying vs renting) and now it is estimated to be worth $1,482,000. Will they split the proceeds with Janelle?

I was thinking the college education completion has more to do with the Mom. I suspect Janelle's kids are more educationally inclined?
Janelle: Logan (Masters degree), Hunter (Masters degree), Gabe still in college at NAU, Maddie slowly working on degree, Garrison?? Savannah will presumably follow Gabe at NAU when she graduates high school.
Christine: Aspyn graduated UNLV. I'm guessing Gwen and Ysabel dropped out when they moved back to Utah as there is no mention of their currently attending college? Paedon and Mykelti not sure if they ever started college?
Meri: Leon was working on Masters Degree
Robyn: Do we know if Dayton ever graduated from NAU? I'd assume Aurora and Breanna currently attend NAU.

Maddie said in on of her lives that Ysabel is going to move back to live with Christine.
ETA: Could have been Mykelti who said this. Sometimes those M-names got me a little confused 😀
Sounds like all of Christine's kids will be back in Utah then, since Gwen moved back too. I suspected once Christine moved back to Utah Ysabel would reconsider being in NC with Maddie.

Does anyone know if Ysabel is still going to school and living with Maddie in NC?

I know nothing about the gaming world, but if he is writing programs or designing new games, there may be real money out there in that?
I may be wrong, but I thought he was trying to make money off of people watching him play games? Still don't see how that garners enough income to qualify for 3 mortgages.
Also, does anyone know where Ysabel chose to go to college? I was curious if she was breaking free and not attending NAU like all the other Brown kids.

So apparently Christine's home just went up for sale.
Is she finally going to leave this asshole and move to Utah? Or will she be joining Janell in the RV at Prairie Plague Pond?
Yep, she has it listed for $725,000. She paid $520,000 for it so she will do WAYYYYY better on profit from this house than she did on her Las Vegas house.
Does anyone know what the status of Mykelti's living situation is? Mykelti had the townhouse in ST George (which was the first place they bought) that she was letting her brother and Tony's brother rent out. Then they bought the house in St George, which they still own and I haven't seen put up for sale yet. Last I heard Mykelti and Tony moved to Lehi - not sure if they bought ANOTHER house there or are renting in Lehi. Maybe Christine will take over the St George house from them?

Spoiler, Speculation and Social Media
in Sister Wives
What was she saying this in reaction to?
