Cancun

If I were Janelle, I would turn to Robyn and say, “My boys’ relationship with their father is none of your business. I don’t need you to be a facilitator or mediator, so shut up and stay in your lane.”

I love that they keep showing a shot of the McMansion deck, complete with broken railings. These idiots sure aren’t big on home maintenance.

I agree. And if Tori is confident she is qualified to work with Lilah on speech development exercises, then why hasn’t she been doing that already? What was she waiting for? (Rhetorical questions…my point is that I don’t think she really is qualified.)

Ronald confirms yet again that he has anger issues and gets physical. Tiffany is a fool for subjecting her children to that. Be done, woman.

We’ll put it up to dry, and hopefully it will be a good log. Huh? Is he Pa Ingalls or what…!

It’s fascinating how quickly Kody moved from gaslighting Christine to gaslighting Janelle. Just wow.

Christine and Janelle are clearly not acting for the camera. Their big feels put the “reality” in reality tv. Kody and Robyn, on the other hand, are going for a dramatic acting award. They should have practiced more because they are laughable. I cackled in between eye rolls.

I’m rewatching tonight and I just have to give props to the editing. As Christine is telling Janelle she doesn’t think Truely would last a weekend staying at Kody’s house, they cut to archive footage of Truely shoveling snow at the Mansion. And I was there for the tight camera shots on Robyn and her sulking daughters at the good riddance gathering.

And everything has been “the hardest xxx ever”, as in hardest talk with Truely, hardest conversation with the wives, hardest good-bye. I support Christine but I’m growing weary.

Kody’s new math…Christine owns 50% of what she and Kody own. Further, Kody owns 50% of what each wife owns with him. So here’s how that works out (numbers are for example only): C/K total assets of $100k. C has $50k, K has $50k M/K total assets of $100k. M has $50k, K has $50k Same for J/K and R/K At the end of the day, K has $200k and each wife has $50k. Kody has FOUR TIMES what each wife has! But if instead, the family pooled their assets for a total of $400k, then divided by 5 adults…each would have $80k. Kody thinks he is pretty crafty with his new math. Why do any of these women think this is fair to them?

(From previous episode) “Dancing is my love language”…really? Because I would have said it was food. (Current Episode) I do have to say her wardrobe choices were better on the trip. A couple of the dresses and the white swimsuit coverup/hat were appropriate and tasteful. I wish they would have shown her getting up into the open air truck they took to the mud bath place. Bet Isaiah earned his paycheck there, too, in addition to the boat haul. (Thanks to the above poster for reminding me Isaiah also hauled her up the waterfall in a previous season!) The swimming pool meditation video was pathetic. People train to lead that type of stuff, it’s more than just “breathe in and out”. I know we only saw a short piece, but if there was more meat to it, I think TLC would have shown it - since they are desperate for interesting content. Lennie must have misread his script when he snuggled in the pool after meditation, because that was just odd - even Whit was caught off guard.

Coyote Pass looked so lush and green when they bought it. Now it looks dry and barren. I know rainfall is outside the Browns’ control but the change seems so symbolic…

The preview of him dancing…I can hardly wait!!

Yeah, it was just driving me nuts that he couldn’t even call it the right thing. ETA: oh geez, he DID write their vows. And they are BAD.

And is he really supposed to write the vows? Or just the marriage message (whatever you call it - the bits of wisdom shared before the couple exchanges vows)? Because vows seem to either be “the standard” or the couple writes a personal version.

When Truely says she wished she wasn’t the last to know, I wonder if she means among Christine’s kids or whether she knows even Robyn’s younger kids knew before her? That’s the real jerk move Kody isn’t acknowledging.

Apparently I am the only one watching tonight, but I finally have to say something amidst all the fake-ity fake fake. Lennie doesn’t want to dance with you, Whit, because when he gives even a half-hearted attempt to join in, you make fun of him. You did it in St. Lucia and you did it at Jess’s wedding. But Hilda was encouraging and complimentary of his effort. See the difference? Ugh, she’s so awful.

I hope this is scripted…Sunhe referred to it as “our relationship.” Lady, it’s THEIR relationship. No way should Jason leave the house he owns. Angelica is not thinking of their daughter. He didn’t even get to say good-bye to Amara. I can imagine what Amara will be told when she asks where her daddy is. Ugh.

THIS. After all, even in Robyn’s mansion he has to hide in a closet, tucked under his hanging shirts, to find peace and contemplate his navel.

Too little, too late. Such an obvious performance.

Kody is the definition of Teflon. He’s the worst.

Contrast Ysabel’s maturity and kindness with Robyn’s girls sneering over the RV. Robyn definitely did something wrong.

Robyn’s girls were not kind with their comments on Janelle’s RV.

Christine correcting him on Truely’s age…just a few days after correcting him on Ysabel’s age…classic.

Kody didn’t know this was Ysabel’s 18th birthday?! Did I hear him ask if she was 17? (ETA, yep he thought she was turning 17. How sad. that should be Exhibit A against his 50/50 custody claim.) And his rant about the whole Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed thing was dumb. Never mind he and Robyn were smooching and getting sexually bothered before they were married…
