WhatAmIWatching

It's very niche quotes, just like Robyn's joory was very niche and specific to them or other polygamists (and verrrry overpriced). The quotes are a bit too wordy as well and I don't even remember when two of them happened. I could see getting one that only said "Teflon Queen" for the lol factor, and a sort of inside joke to any SW fans I might encounter in the wild, but for $25, only 2 color choices, and too many words, they're not for me. I just looked at their Taeda Farms store and they don't have a lot there yet either. I would think having a branded seed packet selection on offer before Spring would be a neat idea. Could possibly add some different containers for growing said flowers too -hey, I found another use for those mini galvanized Thanksgiving buckets!- Also, patterned or branded gardening gloves and aprons could be useful as well. Tap into the people who want to support them but aren't into Tshirts. I would have had a decent variety of items listed before launching the store, especially if it's print on demand, but maybe that's just me. They've never been very good at marketing though. It's funny (to me) how they just leave sites littered around the internet, and not really connected to their other platforms, when their businesses don't produce the windfalls they expected. (Does anyone know if she still does her Strive with Janelle business or did she finally let that quietly die off?)

Ugh, Kody only wanted Meri to move to Flagstaff and stay there because he wanted her to pitch in financially to his and Robyn's life, down payment/emergency fund and tchotchke hoard. No extra wives = no more dipping into their wallets. It was cruel of him to pretend that he wanted to rekindle their relationship and start over when he didn't mean it. The David and Christine proposal was at a beautiful spot but was a little lame. Does everything have to be recorded and have an audience? Why not do a reenactment or retelling instead of sharing such a private moment with the masses? (Yes, I'm watching it lol but still) Oh my gawd, Robyn just had to victimize herself again and say that the other wives were against her and made her odd wife out. That's SO far from the truth it's annoying. Robyn has The Littles wrapped in bubble wrap! She is not setting them up for success later in life. She's actually setting them up to have anxiety issues for normal, everyday changes and challenges. That's bad parenting! Kody just admitted that ROBYN was the one who told him to allow Meri to believe she still had a hope of reconciliation. I hope that gets him in trouble with Queen Bee. Is that where the "As the man, I can't leave. The wife has to make that choice" really came from? Was it Robyn and not their religion (that they stopped following a long time ago anyway)? Robyn just wanted minions to lord her real marriage over and control via Kody. Why did she want Meri to stay so badly when Meri just outed that she never saw them anyway? (Which we already knew but it was nice to hear her finally confirm) I think she, like Kody, wanted the 3 to hang on for financial reasons.

Kody is such a ***! I was shocked he said that the only reason he considered getting back with Jenelle was so he could be back in with the kids. He's so bitter and nasty and his words are so cruel. The editors were great for showing his talking head, where he blathered that both he and Jenelle had been talking about rekindling, then it cuts to Jenelle's where she says Nope, not happening! 😂 I appreciate her speaking up more and laying it all out instead of the placating or silence that she used to do. Robyn sat there and lied (again) when she claimed she didn't tattle to Kody about Jenelle. She did NOT tell him that she agreed with J (about keeping the house expenditure on the less expensive side) she went and cried and said J was being mean. Why else would Kody have been mad and gone off on J? He wouldn't have done that if R and J had agreed. i really appreciate whoever is shooting the scenic B-roll. They are making art with some of their gorgeous shots.

Woooeee I just saw the new house! The theme from the show Good Times keeps running through my mind. Robyn must be in pig heaven (it's a long way from that trailer with no heat -except a wood burning stove) while Kody most likely feels it's his due. How did K and R pull this off? I thought they took all of the equity out of their Flagstaff house in Helocs. Did his side business get a big contract or something?

I had a good chuckle during the sprinkle party scenes when I saw Robyn standing outside, peeking around the door frame, while everyone else was in the kitchen or living room happily chatting. There she stood, wearing her patented sour expression, monitoring Kody as usual. Was she waiting for a special invitation to join the festivities? She's so tiresome. Kody saying that he was exiled from the family is such a crock. He and Robyn gleefully exiled themselves. They are both such dramatic cows. laurakaye, I noticed Robyn's cold sore immediately and thought "wow, we haven't seen that in a while. Kody, Ari, and her own choices, must really be stressing her out. Good!" I enjoyed Meri's snark and openness this episode. She seemed more animated and less mulish like she used to, when she'd act as if the producers questions were dumb or an imposition, or answer in an annoyingly vague way. They should all have to answer (appropriate) questions that go with the filmed material. That's what they get paid for. (Looking at you, Kody)

She just doesn't want to answer questions regarding the scenes in the clips! I would've made her watch it after she calmed down. Ridiculous woman. I'm ticked about it too, because it would've been great for her to have to see and respond to Christine saying she just needed space. I wanted her to see that Christine didn't say that she never wanted to talk to Robyn or her kids ever again. Would've been great to have her answer for twisting that so badly during that meeting and repeating it wrongly since then. Take away one avenue for her to play the victim. also in case it hasn't been said today yet: Shut up, Robyn!

Wow when they showed the Janelle wedding picture, I could've sworn that Robyn was standing there but it was Kody's mom! They resemble each other quite a lot, imo. Robyn can now pretend she was there from day one 😂

Robyn said she felt that they'd worked way too long and far too hard to stand firm in their faith (ok Ms. 5 Minute Bride 🙄) to let the teens go off willy-nilly to a youth group of a different religion(s). She said their frontal lobes weren't developed enough to make those decisions. She was basically forcefully backing up Kody's opinion, but it came off weird because she hadn't raised any of those teens, was still new to the family, and got rilly intense about it. Maddie clocked her with a "You said WE get to choose our own church!" to the other parents, and Janelle had that firm set to her jaw she gets when she's mad, and you know she was thinking "Hush up, Valtrex!" (Robyn had a giant cold sore) Surprisingly, Meri calmly backed Janelle and looked at Kody like he was nuts. Even Leon was for exploring other youth groups and they were quite devout in the fam religion at the time.

That's a good start of a list, LilyD! You're spot on that it took a while to see past what her words were saying, to notice her actions didn't match up at all. I remember during the couch sessions with all 4 wives, that she'd pontificate at length about polygamy and how it worked -or should work- when she'd never lived it herself before, and how she was an expert on all things Brown when she hadn't been there for the first 16 years. Also: when she was combative and highly emotional about the older kids possibly joining a youth group (to make friends and have activities in a new town) when she was brand new to the family. It was not her place to decide for the kids she barely knew or overrule the bio moms, imo. Even in their book Janelle talks about how Robyn meddled (she didn't say meddled, that's my word) in the other marriages and told them how they should resolve conflicts with each other, which goes against her always claiming that she had no idea what goes on in the other marriages. Thank you, Adiba! I thought I remembered but wasn't sure of the details. Those two are the shadiest.

Just re-reading their NYT bestseller (lol) and I found that not only did Robyn steal their husband, but she stole Janelle's apples/oranges analogy! (Janelle expresses it better) I wonder how many times R has read their book? Wanna bet she was sittin' there with a neon highlighter marking up all the parts that either pissed her off or that she could take credit for? 😂

Didn't Robyn and Kody take another honeymoon (that wasn't filmed) after they did their legal marriage as well, or am I misremembering? I thought they said she took him to Hawaii with funds from her grocery budget so ended up with two lengthy honeymoons. If she really "needed" that time, then maybe to make it fair/make up for the 3 originals (who didn't have similar extended or extravagant honeymoons) they could have used show $ to have 2nd honeymoons across the board, but I have a strong feeling that Kody would've put the kibosh on that.

I just caught up and saw the pic of her and the new beau on the couch: wow, she looks radiant and relaxed! This is totally crass, but I've suspected that none of the wives ever experienced a big O with Kidney. How could they? He doesn't have the attention span or interest in taking care of anyone but himself. The beatific look on Christine's face suggests she found someone who knows what they're doing in that regard. I hope R & K secretly comb through her social media and that her obvious happiness gives them both heartburn.

Oh I didn't realize that means farmed! I confess that I loathe cooking. Partly because my husband (and one of the boys before they both grew and flew) is THE pickiest person on the planet and will refuse to even taste something if "it looks weird". I partly hate it because it takes so long from prep to clean up. I still do it, because we're too rural for food delivery, which is simply unfair, but I am not the best at it. My results still look better than almost all of what Janelle comes up with though, which I find hilarious. Too bad that I can't convince my hubby that I, like Robyn, am a damsel in distress and need someone to help cook. 😆

If they monetize their social media, I can see how low-effort posts still make money so they don't care how ridiculous they look or how boring they are, but I don't know if they've monetized.

Walmart has a frozen, skinless salmon from the Sam's Club line and it is luscious! Best frozen I've ever tasted.
