Mykelti has inherited some of her dad's worst traits, unfortunately.
I don't know what I think about various family members continuing on with their "public" Sisterwive lives via Patreon and various other social media. I believe that Christine attempted to respond to that criticism, and it must be hard to know where the line is. Then, there's the issue of income being made off the whole tragic affair - inadvertently or not.
Now that some time has passed I've come to believe it's time to end this show. I think that TLC has one more season in the hopper, and it should be the last. I wonder if any talk of potential lawsuits have already been initiated here and there within the family? Not that I have any legal expertise but we have become quite the litigious society, and maybe some family members may think they have a case? It will be something to see play out.

I do have an issue with placing the blame completely on Kootie, even though I do believe he's a first class narcissist and that he in general deserves as much grief as he gets from both his loathing and loathsome (to him), public.
As we all know, suicide can initiate from neurological, biological, emotional, and environmental issues. Since I don't know the state of these areas within Garrison when he passed I'd be hard-pressed to place blame 100% on Kootie, on Garrison, or on anyone. I've had friends who've dealt with debilitating depression, and bless their hearts, it was hard work for them. Meds do help sometimes, also therapy too, but at other times nothing will.

I don't like Robyn very much either, but if she hadn't shown up, people would be complaining that she failed to show respect for Jenelle, Garrison and the others. I do agree that she might could have found a seat that was not front and center, but it might have just happened that way, as others have said . Also as Garrison 's father, Kody would be on the front row and as his wife, she would probably sit with him. This is the same situation lots of divorced couples face at family weddings and funerals. Robyn has demonstrated some really vile behavior on the show, assuming she is not getting a terrible edit. However in this situation, I don't know that there is a seating solution that is going to please everyone. Perhaps sitting in the second row with her grown children might have been better, but I doubt Kody would have accepted that.
I see your point and time will tell, but I still think she should've stayed her butt home. Throughout the years she has shown little respect to this family, the wives, and the children, either singularly or as a group. Why worry now?
As for Kootie, surely he can sit for an hour or so by himself, surrounded by the rest of his family members? He is in his 50s, right? Or maybe showing his love for Robyn by groping her knee was just the right kind of support he needed during his son's memorial.
Gah, I despise this couple.

I just loved that the National Guard held a memorial service for Garrison. HATED that Robyn was on the front row. 😠 She should've waited in the car. Or better yet, not shown up at all.
Just when I think I can't LOATHE that woman more, she goes further down that black hole.

I didn't care for that Scaachi Koul piece, even beyond the factual inaccuracies (although she failed there, too). Somewhere between Alberta and New York, Koul forgot the kicker in the tagline of her old Hazlitt column: "From conflicts and confrontations both institutional and personal, to managing your own privilege without being a dick..."
There is a way to examine and even critique the genre, as well as this specific show (and fandom), without condescension. If you want an audience to consider whether a show should go on, don't begin by essentially telling that audience that they are dull and tasteless for having watched.
The first rule of writing about guilty pleasure TV: drop all pretension because you, dear writer, love some stupid shit, too. It may not be a TV show, but there's something in your pile of pleasing pretties that would make the uninitiated roll their eyes at you. Don't pontificate about McDonald's from a Burger King booth bearing your ass print.
Even as I wrote the above, a little voice tried to tell me that the less said about Koul's snobbery the better. I decided to ignore that voice and let the intrusive thought take a victory lap.
Carpeting! Suburban tedium! What was the purpose behind Koul's framing? How precious does she imagine her readership to be? Had the Browns always had wealth, social status, sophistication (and less pedestrian floor coverings, apparently), would that have made the show less "boring"? (By the way — "Boring"? What vapid criticism.) Or perhaps it was that the Browns weren't poor enough for her. Maybe she could only justify interest in this show, if the whole prolific platoon pitter-pattered around on earthen floors and practiced pica.
Would the Browns' subversive, cult-dictated, misogynist family structure have been more worthy of examination, had it played out in an urban penthouse with marble flooring — or at least upon hardwoods? (Mind you, I'm not pretending the show did not regularly shortchange its rich premise. It surely did. I'm objecting to how Koul teed up her argument with needless affectations that did not serve her thesis.)
Koul had valid points to make. Her presentation was so off-putting though, that I have already forgotten what those points may have been. She didn't say anything new. She didn't add anything to this discourse more insightful than any sober fan has released into the aether since Garrison's passing (and really, for far longer).
It is strange to me that an admitted consumer of this genre chose this way to dish up the subject of reality viewership ethics. Koul may have managed a literary publication, but it is arguable she finally made her internet bones in a Buzzfeed takedown of Friends — and only a mere quarter of a century after it was relevant. She is not William F. Buckley, Jr., nor is her Guardian pop culture piece Firing Line.
All that is to say she is not above writing about Sister Wives. It involves a fandom she should understand, or at least a type of fandom familiar to her. After all, according to her, the only female friends she has made in adulthood are online fans of reality TV. (Yes. No. Really. She has written of herself as one of those "I only have guy friends" girls.)
Who, other than Sister Wives viewers (and maybe some of the broader TLC and Bravo audiences), did she suppose might read any Sister Wives piece in the first place? What did she hope to accomplish? All she accomplished on my side of the screen was reminding me how much I still miss TWoP — 10 years out.
Koul fell short offering the kind of critique at which most TWoP writers usually excelled, even on their off days. She floundered because of her approach. There was no connection. No soul. She didn't write as one whose love has gone wrong. She wrote like a socialite laughing at the doorman's crush on her.
In the best (and even much of the merely adequate) TWoP coverage, writers often took characters, shows, writers, genres, networks, and even fanbases behind the woodshed. But they did it with love. They were most successful at a takedown, when they did so with the empathy of someone with skin in the game — not as if they'd only read about the whole mess from an altitude of 40,000 feet.
The brain needs oxygen. Rarefied air lacks it.
Holy Masters Thesis, General Days! That's a lot for me to unpack. Fortunately, I really like a good deep dive, and I nominate you to be one our OFFICIAL WRITER-UPPERS for the eppie summaries. 😉😁
That is, if there are any more eppies in the future. We shall see. 🤷♂️
Good job. 😊

I donated through PayPal and I think those donations don't show up on the page so there may even be more than that.
I also donated through PayPal and my donation did show up on the donor page withina couple of minutes. However, I don't know if my donation is included in the running total shown, so you pose an interesting thought. Either way I'm sure they can use it.
I did receive a very nice thank-you form letter the next day, which I thought was quite the quick turnaround considering how recent this all happened and that they're probably are a tiny organization. For me, that's class. 💯

Does anyone have a favorite model or brand of a Dutch oven cookware? Is Le Creuset really worth the money or do you prefer something else?
I have a few pieces of Le Creuset and I love them. They clean easily, use less energy, and seem to not have any hot spots on the bottom. I do have one piece of Staub and it works very well, also.
I've gotten some smaller pieces recently and they are generally lighter in weight than the larger ones. They can be quite heavy but they will last forever and could be passed down to the next generation if taken care of properly.
You can find really good bargains or a good sale price if you're patient. I got one piece of Le Creuset at about 65% off and the only thing wrong with the shipment was the box it came in.
I also have some Lodge cookware and it works well. One time I dropped a braiser from a height of about 4 feet and thought for sure I'd cracked the enamel on the inside, but it was fine. It's a workhorse.

My most heartfelt sympathy for Janelle and the whole family in Garrison's passing. I can't even imagine how Gabe feels and my heart just aches for him. Bless them all.
I'm a big cat and dog lover, having adopted so many over the years. These pets are little angels sent from heaven, and what a good heart he must've had to adopt three.
This is so tragic...he was far too young.

I don't recall Gloria Vanderbilt setting up her business as a predatory MLM.
Hmmm, back in the day I could ROCK a pair of GV's. All I can rock now is a hammock.

Christine can make money the best way she knows how, but I do wonder if the folks on her downline and/or buying this crap realize how many vacays their overpriced purchases have helped pay for over the years? It just amazes me.

TY! Wish I could take credit for coming up with it but I either heard or read it from someone else a loonnggg time ago. When @ginger90 posted that pic my mind instantly recalled it. So fitting. 😁

..."Last - this goes for Meri and Christine - kody is a douche. Robyn is a lying, manipulative witch. But you got away from him and her. You say you’re in happy relationships and head over hills. So LET HIM GO. This pettiness of making fun of Robyn and Kody makes it look like you’re not over it. Focus on your new happiness and not throwing jabs at two people who are getting what they deserve - each other’s company."
There are not enough "applause" emoticons on Primetimer for me to use to show my agreement and appreciation of this statement.
Besides, if I were Meri or Christine I would want to remain aware of the feelings of the new men in each one of their lives. I don't know of many men who want to discuss ad nauseum old exes. Meri wasn't taping for TLC, here, so why bother with Kootie? Relish and wallow in your newfound beau, Meri, and leave that odious couple to their own devices.

I'm in a minority here but that gown was awful. She looked like a tube sock and her head was a big toe poking out from a hole in the bottom. It didn't flatter her figure at all. When was her last fitting, 6 months before the wedding?
However, Christine herself was a glowing bride and David was certainly happy with how she looked. Since his opinion is the only one that really matters then it's all good.
Finally, please TLC, enough with Kootie and Robyn. Can Christine not get her own WEDDING EPPIE to herself! Sheesh.
Yeah, yeah, save your tomatoes for your BLT's. 😏

Good for Meri!
Amos looks like a decent guy, and unlike I've done all of these many years with Kootie, it'll be so nice to use his REAL name! Now THAT is gonna take some getting used to for yours truly. 😎

I'm truly happy for Christine, but for me a little of her personality type goes a looonnggg way. I couldn't see watching a show built specifically around her. However, she deserves to be loved and to be happy. 🎊
One of the folks who impressed me during this eppie was Maddie. Her TH was adult-oriented and sincere. She has grown up so much since moving to N.C. and I'm proud for her.
The other one was Aspyn. What a class act. 🤗 Christine could take notes from her beautiful and pulled together, daughter.

"Although I am happy for her, a full hour of sparkle pony princess was a lot."
Agreed. I fell asleep and didn't make it all the way through the show. @Orcinus orcashould copyright that moniker she created for Christine, as it suits her to the ground, including the tossing of her hair extensions. 😃
I wish them the best though.

There's so many, many layers of switchbacks, rewriting history, delusional thinking, and outright lies its hard to deconstruct it all. 🤥 Layers of many onions and all that. So many onions that I could make an onion tart tatin. 😋

Just finished the Clap Back, or the Talk Smack, or the Yackety Yack, eppie and I can't believe that Meri is STILL lying about the catfish even after all of these years. It's sooo sad. Who in the heck is she protecting or lying to?
Meri, you had an emotional affair...so be it. Own your s**t. Sheesh, how OLD are you! You look like an idiot and a fool and neither look is good on you. I have no respect for you at all.
Crikey, these people. 🙄

Spoiler, Speculation and Social Media
in Sister Wives
Anything anyone and their attorney can think of. From any side of this train wreck, be it members of the family or TLC, or any other group that makes a living off this show while it's on the air. Including but not limited to defamation, lack of contract fulfillment, loss of potential income if the show does indeed continue, etc.
