Letting those kids wander around a second story construction site made me so anxious. At one point, Zach left Jackson alone up there when he went to rescue Lilah from the mud. Then Tori was taking pictures of the kids leaning out the window cutouts. Yikes.

Production trolling Whit again.

Whitney was so obnoxious about correcting Jamie's word use, yet I gave her a big side eye last week when she said, "Keep your train ticket congruent to your body." It caught my ear because it was such a strange word choice - and in fact, the first definition that comes up for congruent is "in agreement or harmony." Hmmm. I also see that a synonym for congruent is COINCIDE…yet neither of those words mean to keep something close to your body.

I think the mansion is like a 20 minute drive from Coyote Pass. I know it's not next door, anyway. So he rode that four-wheeler on the streets and highway to get home?? No helmet, but some awesome gloves. Nope, still no tears. Not a drop. But she's worked on her sob gasps to make up for it. This is the perfect description of Robyn's bizarre wardrobe! @Madding crowd"Once the cameras are gone I’m betting Robyn gets rid of the Sears junior secretary clothes and goes out to find someone new."

I rilly wanted Meri to lay into Kody and Robyn about how they manipulated her into the legal divorce, especially when the talk of "Robyn as your advocate" started. Surely Meri's hindsight is 20/20 now, and she can see their ugly intentions in that manuever. Maybe (one of the 4) Tell All's will fulfull my wish.

So many things in this episode to comment on, but I've got to start with Robyn saying at the end (paraphrasing), "There's nothing I can do, so I'll just have to spend time on my knees." Lucky Kody...

When Kody says he doesn't feel like a polygamist anymore, and how much extra time he has now that Janelle and Meri are not a factor, he goes on to say... "Robyn and I have this special life." Put that on a loop and play it for the others as the show rides off into the sunset, please!

Robyn tells us some “fun things” happened in that white sports car. Ewwww.

I didn’t catch why Kelly switched places with the gal from Singapore. Kelly pranced and flailed in her faux model style dancing, while the other gal gave a smooth and seamless delivery of Kelly’s cue cards.

Robyn apparently spent the grocery budget on Precious Moments, because at Truely’s party Kody announced “everyone only gets a half piece - we only got 6 pieces!” Chicken breasts, not filet mignon, mind you. 🙄

I’m focused on how many times Kim says “the children”. It’s so stilted and cold. It’s never “my kids” or “our girls” or “the littles”. Something about the way she says it makes them sound like an object, not people. I can’t explain it well, but it bugs me. Update: dang you, Kim! She refers to “the girls” in next week’s preview.

I also wonder if it gets used as “the rental” that is referenced when the out of towners gather. I can’t recall seeing enough of the inside of Meri’s home to identify key places (kitchen, for example) but if production filmed in other spaces like the lower level, it could be efficient. Probably not, but I like thinking about this kind of thing.

Kody: a bad sister wife is one who takes her children away from their father. Robyn didn’t do that. Me: dude, seriously. Robyn divorced their father, moved a gazillion miles away, and replaced his face in a family picture with Kody’s (or some such nonsense).

It feels weird, but I find myself liking Meri when she is being funny. The “don’t go weird!” Comment while laughing made me laugh with her.

Wanted to reply to this comment by @Elizzikra in the live chat… ”How does it not even occur to Kody that mending his relationships with Janelle’s children might be a good step in mending his relationship with Janelle???” This is how we know Robyn is a lying liar when she says she is doing EVERYTHING to keep the family together. If she rilly wanted that, she would tell Kody to do the above mentioned mending.
