Robyn also relished in explaining that Kody loves to take long showers to pour salt in Christine's wounds. In "The Basement Wife," Christine complained to Robyn that Kody would never take showers in her apartment in Lehi. Kody's excuse was that Meri's shower was better. After Robyn joined the fambly, he started to showered at Robyn's. In case they forget who the legal and favorite wife is, Robyn will remind them.

Loren loves tarot, spirituality, etc., like Caleb, and despite her religious tenets. Loren loves Usman's music. Loren loves Michigan. Loren is such a loving, good, kind person - not at all the petty meangirl from her season. She's so desperate to stay in this or any 90DF franchise. And, it's always about Loren.

Christine must have memorized this explanation. She gave it to the fambly on last week's episode, too.

Well, Meri didn't know how many gallons 20,000 gallons were, either.

I think that I watch this show just to be grateful that I am not a fundamentalist polygamist.

Janelle: "I'm not planning ever to go anywhere." Well, that was already obvious. She's a completely passive, passive-aggressive lump.

They're never going to say that Janelle was Meri's sister-in-law. And, what's with her eyebrows? You can see the real ones and the drawn-on ones in her talking heads.

Kody rejected Christine's former intro, "I wanted the family, not just the man." After decades of his trying to make them a family. Janelle and Christine seemed to have functioned with each other as sister wives - just not with Meri. But, Kody groups them all together, non-discriminatorily. Robyn probably led him to his new, profound insight.

Meri: "I hope that the conversation with Janelle can be open, kind and honest." Meri's t-shirt: "Don't Kinda Care."

"Stress & Traumas in My Life" = Catfish

Someone said it this week - Meri is completely drunk in her talking heads.

I think that she wants to be married, because she fears that she's running out of time. She said that she had a lot of relationships, but none for the past 3-4 years. She has an air of desperation.

Is Caleb short? Just curious.

Baby Girl Lisa was with Usman. Skipper was Laura with Aladin. BGL was Angela 2.0. Skipper did look like Skipper from Gilligan's Island. (Sorry to @greekmom - I didn't see your answer before I replied.)

When were these segments filmed? There's no mention of COVID (or I missed it).

You're right. Julia. They spoke after she had to feed the pigs.

I'm wrong - Sasha had a father, who wore a t-shirt at the airport.

This may be the first Russian father we've seen on this series.

Her hair looks like a wig. So, maybe it's his sister. (The family only had one baseball cap.)

I'm unable to participate in our live chat fully tonight. I'll just say - I'd strangle this guy the moment I heard his annoying laugh.

With the engaged couple, he said that they reminded him of him & Robyn as honeymooners. The show then posts an early "Dr. Phil" PR photo of him with Robyn (20+ years into their marriage). Their visit to the couple's home was so that Dr. Phil & Robyn could reinforce marriage stereotypes, while praising themselves for their happiest, most perfect marriage. Robyn also appeared onstage with the couple, because Dr. Phil identified her as his expert on marriage. He has really been elevating Robyn to cohost lately.

Kody & one of her brothers should have learned the value of car insurance an even harder way - when they were in a car collision.

In this episode, Christine begged Kody to tell her what each sister wife has to say about moving to Utah. Kody dutifully followed Robyn's command not to and told Christine, "I don't want you to feel like your sister wives are against you." When she pushed, he replied that there are mixed emotions about it altogether, and he doesn't want to tell her where everyone is at so that she can figure where she's at. And, in his talking head, he recounted Meri will go anywhere he chooses to goes. Janelle refuses to leave Flagstaff. Robyn would love to live in Utah, but that's impossible to feel that her children would be safe. Christine, in her talking head, griped about Kody's going behind her back and having those conversations - For extra drama, she spoke quickly, repeating herself, and gesticulated emphatically. Then Kody griped that Christine "hasn't heard us all say no." It's incredible to me that she wouldn't have lobbied each of her sister wives herself or confronted each one individually, since this is her make-or-break issue, and the sister wife bond is so sacred. Meri's and Robyn's answers leave room for negotiation (or for Christine to call them out). As a lowly monogamist who is smarter than the Browns, I just can't understand!

Robyn's mansion can be the plyg palace: Robyn in the main house, Meri in the guest house and Janelle in the RV (or U-Hauls). Fortunately for the Browns, that scenario would be feasible and closer to fiscally responsible. Therefore, Kody would have to mandate COVID isolation for eternity and beyond so that he'd never leave his house and encounter Spiritual Wives Nos. 1 and 2.
