Grifter Lives

She is! First, "Give Michael a hug," and now, "Too bad your mom can't come." She and Uncle Beau will be laughing tonight.

Natalie's lips are all different sizes and shapes between her talking heads and scenes.

This is where Yara is immature (although she looks like an old 24-year old): If her parents can't be there and she's unhappy, she cannot compromise for Non Jovi's happiness.

Why is there a stackable chair in Jovi's bathroom? Did he stay in separate room from Yara, with a double bed and disgusting sofa?

I read the the tell-nothing is on tonight, too. So, maybe this is one hour of show and one hour of tell-all?

Janelle filed for divorce after two years of marriage. He did not contest or even appear at the hearing. I read that she got the house and assumed some of the debt, and he kept three cars they accumulated. Then, there was a 3-year gap before her marriage to Kody. I haven't done the math to confirm that her age works out on that last part.

Janelle has an apron or sign that says, "I Kiss Better than I Cook." It's a very low bar. . .

When they took out a $150K HELOC (30-year term) in March 2020, they claimed urgency and waived their homestead protection. They'll be living in one of the rented U-Hauls - with all of Robyn's children - when they default. In this episode, Kody said that the world has gone quiet for him, and he really can't do anything. So, now he's not even pretending to have "business interests" or manage some investment stream. (If he had any business interests, he could have continued as normal, because he has never gone to a physical work location, except a sister wife's house.) He must have been too humble to mention that he's an author of a New York Times best-seller. I've read that he sells or sold guns at gun shows. In an earlier season, he wore a sweatshirt with the company's name, but the producers blurred it out. It may have been Centennial, like the Las Vegas high school his older children attended.

According to this article, Meri, Kody, Janelle and Christine attended the funeral on Wednesday. https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/sister-wives-star-passes-away-kody-and-meri-mourn-bonnies-death/

Here's Janelle's see-through blue dress at Aspyn's wedding.

Meri's dress for the commitment ceremony (below) was completely see-through, and Janelle's blue dress for Aspyn's wedding (next post) was also see-through.

I think that Garrison is just goofing around by posing and it's funny. But, it would also be funny if he were actually mocking his mother's culinary photography. Maybe the CSA was suspended during his last birthday, which is nearly a year ago now, and that's why he had the carb-and-fat-with-no-natural-ingredients extravaganza. It's so frustrating and contradictory that Janelle is extolling the vitality she gets from her workouts, vegetables and gardening, but then she shills Plexus. If she were truly energized and healthy from her stated passions (exercise and healthy eating), she'd never need Plexus or want to be anywhere near it. Which are we supposed to believe, since we can't believe both? (We can believe neither.) She must shill it out of maternal love for her daughter, but it's really at her own expense - physically, financially, reputational, and more. And, in yet another contrast, either Janelle ditched Savannah as an accountability partner (possibly replaced by Plexus), or Savannah is doing a really good job, or Janelle just forgot because many things Janelle says ring true.

From earlier today

I enjoy the podcast. I will rewatch to really appreciate what they said and to play "Where's King Sol?" When Kody was comforting Sol and Ariaoblabla, the calendar in the room showed March. The older daughters' birthdays are April 8 & 11th. Also, Kody was explaining to Sol why he couldn't go to school, not why he couldn't play with Truely. (And, he didn't tell that Sol would he would see Truely again soon on her & Christine's birthdays - because that wouldn't happen.) I think that the scene was filmed earlier, but I support their theory that Robyn wouldn't let Sol near the door, because she declared him high-risk. The podcasters also noted that Christine told Truely that they would go home, where she could cry - because Truely already reacted emotionally in an earlier, similar incident. Christine elaborated in her talking head.

What a genuinely touching tribute! The Tony who left the tribute is identified as "TO," so I don't think it's Tony Padron. Figure 8 Films did donate flowers. And, two tributes looked like Sister Wives fans who road-tripped to Lizzie's, but the photos with her were sweet. Meri and her sister (I believe) are in the photo from Nicole Aguilar.

I still can't imagine what the three pans of beige slop were for Garrison's birthday. Did he request his favorite meal? Did each child get his or her own pan? Janelle said that Garrison has probably only celebrated two birthdays in his lifetime without the entire family. Those would have been when she left the family. In contrast, Robyn's daughter had a full dinner served from take-out containers. They each seemed to have their own loaf of Italian bread. Robyn dared to enter a restaurant or imposed her strict social-distancing on an unsuspecting delivery driver. And, Mariah, who missed all her siblings so much that she is transferring schools and moving to Utah, hauled out of town within a week - without completing her quarantine and just a week or two before the birthday month celebrations.

I'm still annoyed by Robyn's imitating her sister wives in a old-lady voice, whining about retirement to contrast how young and vibrant she is. She claims that she is comfortable with being 11 years younger than Kody, but he teases her about having been an infant when he was older. Robyn is only 6 years younger than Christine and actually only 9 years younger than Kody. She's not a different generation. And, I doubt that any of them have really planned for retirement. Maybe that's how they deflect from Kody's panhandling on Robyn's behalf. Divine justice will be when one of Robyn's daughters is assigned to be the 5th wife of an old polygamist church leader. "Sweet 16 & never been kissed" may make the daughter especially attractive. Kody wouldn't dare try to make his Neanderthal stay-away face.

This is via Reddit, and it looks like another account or she changed the name. We better not hear that she was in labor for 168 hours in Season 36. And, we better not have flashbacks to Maddie's weeks-longs labor, or King Sol's entrance into this world.

I think that Kody keeps Meri around for her income and storylines. She and Christine are the only ones with discernable incomes outside of this show. I also think that Kody hates that Meri out-earns him. Christine probably out-earns him, too, but has less disposable income and hasn't tried to leave.

Agree. She started her LulaRoe Facebook group on October 2, 2016. Her sister recruited her, I think.

Also, David Jessop is Christine's first cousin and Kody's third cousin. He may also be related to Meri through more than one of her father's wives.

Kody marries Mindy. She walks right into the $900K home, like it's Las Vegas again. The tabloid rumors come true, and they have child or two together to keep the series on air.

Moreover, Natalie has no sense of humor, and Mike is irredeemable. Uncle Beau would provide the freakshow or comic relief, but Natalie banned him from the farm. Yara with Non Jovi would be good, but she may be too critical, and he would be MIA or passed out. The Pillow Talkers must be contractually obligated to fawn over the cast, including Baby Girl Lisa and Angela. But, Loren is guarding her niche as the happy young parents with a vengeance. Stephanie could totally usurp Pillow Talk if she started with Ryan, replaced him with Harris, and has her psychic and cat on standby. She could hula-hoop during the forced intermissions. Hazel and Tarek would need their unicorn submissive, and they'd still be unbelievable and boring.

I had to look. Salad and Go is a local chain based in Phoenix and expanding to Dallas. The link to its nutrition page is below. A Bruschetta Caprese salad has 310 calories and 15g fat. The chicken adds another 130 calories. So, her salad without dressing is 410 calories. If the green salad dressing is jalapeno ranch, that packet contains 200 calories. If it's basil pesto dressing, the packet is 400 calories. If the orange dressing is BBQ ranch, that packet contains 150 calories. If it's Thai peanut, the packet is 325 calories. Her salad with dressing ranges from 560 to 810 calories. If she uses both packets, the calorie count for the salad with dressing soars between 760 and 1135. The drink may be cucumber mint lemonade. If so, she's consuming another 120 calories (for 16 ounces) and 29g sugar. Just last week, she posted that she kicked her sugar addiction with Plexus. The salad cost $5.74, and the drink cost $1 - so, she is right that those are good prices. https://saladandgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SAG-full-nutritional-3.17.21-Spring-v3.pdf

They even left Mosby (?) the ESA indefinitely with Meri when they went to Parowan. Maybe they didn't want to pay the $150 pet deposit. Now Meri will be paying some fee for her rental, especially if Kody the Alpha Dog continues to visit, regardless of quarantine.
