I have a theory (and hope) that this might be it. So far, this “season” has been 20 episodes long - that’s a lot! And on par or more than past seasons. And yet the season is on “break.” Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think they’ve done that before. So maybe they’re going to air the remaining episodes after the break, run the tell-all, and that’s it! 🤞 Of course, online sleuths might chime in with info. on family members filming in current time, which means this damn show will never end. ??!! What do you guys think?

Let me know if she snarks on Hilary from Boston (a/k/a Hilaria from Spain, Alec’s wife). 🙏

Well, they’re filming a tv show, so….

And a sous chef!

Exactly. And how are things balanced? Esp. now, as she’s living in a $2 million home and doesn’t feel she owes Janelle and Meri any money for their loan/non-loan. I can see Janelle letting it go (cuz she’s so passive), but Meri? I’m surprised.

Robyn: “Talking about money is a tough conversation for me…I HELPED so much with the earlier years…for me, things are…BALANCED.” WTF? Am I the only one incensed about this? She lived in a million dollar home paid for (in part) by Janelle and Meri, while Janelle and her kids lived in a small apt., and then a trailer! This is balanced?!! Why are Meri and Janelle letting them get away with this?

Next week is episode 20 and it’s the “mid-season” finale! So I guess not! It feels like this show is never going to end. :(

“I’m not teaching the kids how to do this. I’m just using them for labor.” -Kody 🙄

Talking to a realtor is not illegal. One owner trying to sell a property co-owned by others is a different matter, although I don’t think illegal is the right word. It’s simply not possible. I don’t think this is true. I distinctly remember a discussion Meri had about Westminster with Kody and the wives way back when. Seems wild now, but at the time, Leon picked Westminster because they were considering a polygamous future, and they wanted to go to a school with likeminded people. It was met with a lot of understanding, and I think she got her way. Meri’s mention of the wet bar in this episode is a good reminder of how spoiled and, imo, selfish and immature she acted back in the day. I always thought her pity party for only having one child was very manipulative. A one-child household does not mean that she should have lived in a small apt. above the garage of someone else’s large house, but it also doesn’t mean that she should have received the same amount of funds for expenses as a six or seven-person household. But she pouted and cried and made her case, and usually got her way. The wet bar, the French doors, and the tuition at Westminster are examples.

I knew you’d know! 😊 Thanks!

Where is Ginger?! I would love to see the listing for Christine’s Airbnb in Moab!

I’m watching this episode thinking how much I like Jenn, how smart she is, and how lucky Meri is to have her as a friend, and then Kody says: I really can’t believe it. I gasped out loud. He is the biggest asshole, and he keeps getting worse. Exactly.

Weird outcome, and weird final. Undoubtedly disappointing for the producers to create the karma vote only for it to have no effect on the men's race. All that for nothing! At least it played a part in the women's standings, although it was weird how they played it down. Yes, Michelle moved from 2nd place to third, but she got so many pats on the back for her strong season. And to me, the story was Jenny - she only got two karma votes!! If she didn't have such a commanding lead during the final, she would have lost! Again, weird how they didn't talk about any of that.

Ginger, how do you know so much about the family? Asked with curiosity! Your knowledge is so detailed and impressive!

My tv guide says the next episode (ep. 18) is “The End of an Era, Part One,” so I’m guessing two more episodes.
