    I laughed when Robyn said that Mykelti felt safe to tell them about her twin pregnancy first. Lol Since when is that a dangerous thing to do?  They are way too immersed in the term “safe.” It’s odd. Kody used it in an odd way too.

    I think “safe” often means something along the lines of “makes me feel good/better about myself” when they use it about themselves. 
    in the case of Mykelti, I think Robyn is implying that Mykelti was willing to make Robyn feel good about herself by telling her the news ahead of Christine. 
    Defining “safe” with this crew is futile as it a moving target depending on who is using it.

    Not only that, but adding her 17-20 years after the others.  The first 3 marriages had settled into the long term.  Passion ( if it ever existed, which is questionable) had morphed into companionship and a possibly loving relationship but definitely not being giddy in love.   Here came Robyn and Kody just giggled  like a schoolgirl having her first crush.   Of course everyone else felt neglected because they were..  

    I think it was 20 years after the marriage to Meri.  I figure 3 wives times the “7 year itch” would be around 20 years. 🤣

  3. So I am halfway re-watching this episode and Kody asks about how it would be if they lived apart and the kids were more like cousins.  
    well, Robyn never lived with the other families. But the 3 originals and their kids lived together in Lehi which probably worked fairly well. Then they move to Vegas where they lived together for a full month in that big rental before scattering to various rentals where they lived separately and then to the houses they all build next to each other. 
    Maybe they could have added another unit to the Lehi house for Robyn and the Robynettes, but adding a wife a decade younger than the others and adding 2 caboose kids was unlikely to produce unity. 
    I always think of Savannah being so excited about Breanna being close to her in age, but it seems no closeness between them ever developed.  Sad

    I wonder if Truely would benefit from a tandem bike

    No, since she can’t ride a regular bike. It takes teamwork. It would probably terrify her to just sit in back and have Mitch do all the pedaling.

  5. Did I understand kody to say something about being in limbo “pardon the pun”?  
    am I missing something ?  Is there a limbo in Mormon theology?  What is the pun???

    Plus do they really think they’re protecting their kids face with an emoji?

    there’s at least a dozen or more programs that I know of that remove emojis, I have one on my PC that removes emojis with 2 clicks.

    I should have realized it was an emoji, but I thought it was a mask for Halloween.  I thought they were headed to a pre-Halloween party.  I didn’t bother to read the stuff under the picture because I am lazy. 
     

    Also had to look up “hate chicken.”   
     

    I am amazed at what I can learn from a forum.

    After. I believe she said she was in college when she got her first DUI. I don't know exactly when she found religion, but she was religious enough to marry Barry. He's always been a teetotaler.

    I wonder if that is part of the reason she married him. I went to about a year of Al-anon meetings because of my alcoholic aunt. There were discussions about geographic cures and dry drunks. If being married —and a lot of pregnancies—stopped her drinking, then it isn’t surprising her drinking issues resurfaced after leaving him.

    It is a nice picture.  But to be shallow, I am so tired of seeing these Z-list MLM shillers going on vacations that I have been dreaming about for most of my lifetime.

    I wondered if the trip was courtesy of TLC to have something to film for another season.

    Am I the sole surviving viewer around here? 🤣

    I had no idea it was back, although since I have been coming across posts about them on FB I should have realised it was on.  I guess I will binge watch it on demand this weekend.

    As a cat person, I love it that Robert Garrison is one, too.

    So that’s Garrison’s cat. I was wondering. I love kitties

    Robyn wouldn’t even have considered marrying them if the TLC train hadn’t driven into the station, so there’s that. 

    I also think the secret shopping trip for Robin’s wedding dress, the fancier wedding reception, and the longer honeymoon were arranged by TLC not only for the story line but also to stir the jealously pot at the outset.

    Elijah shows his ticket that shows Charlotte to Heathrow. From London he states it is night and they have a 10 hour layover...

    ETA- from Elijah's posted ticket info someone on reddit has already looked up their itinerary and found final destination is Rome, Italy with return date 3/3.

    I only look at this forum when stuff is in the news such as the trial and now Jinger’s book so I am curious as to who Elijah is.  Is he the relative of Michelle who moved in with them ?

    Ok, terminology was wrong but my point holds - she was the connection  between the 2 other units  - both opened into her but not each other, so if she took one of the other units there wouldn't have been through traffic 

    I thought Meri’s unit was the smallest, so she got it because she had only one child. 
     

    I think I am over this show, and ready for an update where-are-they-now type show every year or so.  I am also over Jazz and her mother, too. 
    I do hope to see on social media whether they can unload coyote pass and whether they can afford to keep Robyn in her ugly big house.

    No:

    This is from several years ago, but in the next episode of this season (so spoiler alert, but nothing worth tagging), in a discussion of breast growth as a result of estrogen therapy, she says she inherited her mom's bust and confirms no subsequent surgery.

    Thanks. I later read that Jaclyn was the one wanting implants. Still not sure if I will tune in. I am ready for Jazz to do a one or two hour update every few years.

    I thought Jacyln (formerly Jojo) was taking Jazz shopping for clothes other than moomoos but next scene she was in another moomoo. What a bad message to send that having breast implants will magically make all your problems go away, isn't that what plastic surgeons counsel against that it won't change anything but your body.

    Well, it took me a little time to remember who Jojo was; so she is now Jaclyn. I wasn’t planning on watching—-so far I haven’t—but if she and Noelle are making appearances I may take a peek. I liked them and the cats, but Jeanette and her parents get on my last nerve. 
    Did Jazz get breast implants?

    I love that the gang is back togther, but this is a BORING episode.

    Right out of the box...

    Boring. that’s not encouraging.


    I lost track of the new season. Was watching an episode of The Wild Wild West and googled it during a commercial break, and here I am although I have decided to catch the second showing on the dvr as I need to find out if the evil Dr will blow up California. 
     

    hope to be back next week and join in  

    I am about to order $100 in Girl Scout cookies—a great way to celebrate the return of Dr Now

    Why is it so brown?  I've never had brown pizza; it looks more like something I cleaned up when my cat ate something wrong.

    ETA: Someone on Reddit suggested it was a taco pizza with a refried beans base, burnt cheese, and canned jalapeños.  That makes the most sense to me, but I still wouldn't eat it.  

    Well, this will teach me never to look at this thread whilst eating my lunch 🤢

    having recovered somewhat from the taco that Jeremy made and, presumably, Jinger ate, I have finally somewhat caught up on this thread. 

    I will be interested to see what she has to say. It must be tricky to criticize the Gothard cult without making the parents look bad. Of course, I do think that JB and M were pretty awful. I am glad she is on her journey of freedom. 
    I think in some/most pictures she is trying to be photogenic. She looks better than okay, but the camera doesn’t love her. 
    I am wondering if her book is successful by the church standards, whether she will appear on their merch. I can see a book that is a collection of “her favorites”—prayers, meditations, Bible verses—- or maybe a few Bible study guides ala Beth Moore.

  18. I think birth order plus temperament put Mykelti in the role of rebel. Maddie, Leon, and Aspen are all bunched up—almost like triplets. Then along comes Mykelti. The three older girls all seemed pretty well mannered.  On the trip to Wyoming she rides the horse that the kids were supposed to avoid, and she is thrown off. In one of the older episodes she talks about not wanting biological children because she wants to adopt. I think she needs to stand apart from the mob.

    There were several boys in the Duggar family that are called the “lost boys “ in the Duggar forum. Maybe this is almost inevitable in such a large group of kids. 
     

    I hope she is not prominent in whatever follow up seasons TLC shows.

    WTF was Robyn even talking about, how the family sold her on this dream, then snatched it away??? Kody and Meri did that, Christine and Janelle were NOT into another wife at all, and even Kody and Meri say that Christine wasn't very welcoming, so which is it? Did Christine sucker Robyn into dating her husband while she was heavily pregnant, or was she a horrible wretch right out of the gate? Can't be both. Being a major bitch to you isn't trying to sell you on something Robyn. But I don't think Christine was a total bitch, I think she was trying to behave how she was expected to, but was also letting her concerns and feelings be known. Which were completely ignored, which didn't further endear Christine to Robyn.  

    But Robyn, girl you gotta pick a story and stick to it, we're all sittin' here getting whiplash.  😉 

    The dream is the tv show.  If all the others leave, the show probably goes away. And she is stuck with him.
