Season 16 Live Chat Thead

[mytmo]

My heart is breaking for Gabe

[mjt626]

The thing about all of this, is that Kody’s involvement with his children depends on how he feels about their mothers at the moment.

Even if he really was only concerned with Covid, he still could have seen them. I remember when people started getting together again outside.  Make everyone wear a mask and take temps if you want to be safe.

The idea that he’s the spiritual head of any family is laughable at best.

Spot on. I haven’t watched this show much but you nailed it.

[SunnyBeBe]

Gabriel has already said that he will not stop seeing his girlfriend. And she is not part of his household.  So how does that work?  I hope he and Kody can reestablish their relationship.  

[JustDuckie]

I haven't seen anything as raw and heartbreaking as that last confessional with Gabe. Kody does not deserve those children. It broke my heart a little that Gabe is at the point where he has so disconnected from his father. I hope that at that moment, Gabe promised himself he will never make those same mistakes with his future children. I hate Kody for the damage he's done to that family.

A lot of young people thought they were invisible when it came to covid.  And some have died.  
 

Christines’s cavalier attitude about covid is troubling and I don’t find it any better than Kody.  

I've been surprised and disappointed at Christine's attitude, because I usually really like her. Going to a masseuse the first year of Covid? No, girl. 

[Kid]

Frankly, I don’t believe this has anything to do with Covid at all. Kody’s angst is about perceived slights to HIM. Disrespect of HIM.

Two weeks ago, I called him a prick. One week ago I updated him to a hateful prick. I  now upgrade him to a hateful, narcissistic prick.

At this point people were creating bubbles.  The way to do it is to agree on rules and let the girlfriend Peyton into the bubble.

But there is not a Brown bubble--just households.

Gabe is more mature and responsible  than his a**hole father. 

[For Cereals]

I’d be really curious to know what Logan? (oldest son who is never on the show anymore) thinks of all this.  He was very thoughtful and sensible when he was shown and also because he had to be dad a lot to his siblings.

[SunnyBeBe]

That’s sad about Janelle losing her mother. I can’t imagine such a loss. 

[Kbo]

Robyn, don’t pretend you were close to Janelle’s mom. Stop trying to push out fake tears. 

[Ms.Lulu]

What I learned from the Kody Gabe conversation is that Robyn played this right.  She keeps sweet and does whatever Kody asks.

Kody nows see the other wives as a problem.  Robyn played the long game.

 Going to get massages and traveling to other states visiting people who are not in your own household is NOT following CDC guidelines.  Janelle is not being forthright.  

I think she follows the CDC guidelines like she diets. She can follow the diet/quarantine up to a special occasion, then binges/travels, then gets back on track for the next special occasion.

[Toodleoo]

Aw poor Janelle. The mothers of three of my close friends died in the past several weeks and it has been unbearable for each of them :(

[sainte-chapelle]

Cancer is painful I understand her being ready to go

And the nanny and her husband are not part of Kody’s household.  A household with 3 adults (none of which have jobs) and 2 teenagers who don’t go to school or have jobs. How does that work?  
 

Spoiler

Previews:  nanny and hubby positive. Talk about irony.

[SunnyBeBe]

Losing your mother right before Christmas…..man….heartbreaking. My mom lost her dad 2 days before Thanksgiving:(

[shellybusa]

I'm surprise there are any of the wives left there. They should all leave. He's a bully and forgot the family and is making it all about him at his point. It's so obvious he prefers Robyn - even the kids see it.  It doesn't matter what the other wives do, they're wrong. He's an ass!

[Adeejay]

Sorry to hear about Janelle's mom.  As many of you know, losing a parent is one of life's most painful experiences.  My Dad has been gone for seven years and I still miss him.  Especially on special occasions.  

[Kbo]

Kody saying he doesn’t know if he’d ever be forgiven if he tested positive for COVID tells you what he cares about 😡. And what Robyn cares about, for that manner. Janelle’s mom died, but all she cares about is her kids seeing Kody for Xmas?

Kody gives the not-Robyn’s a peck on the cheek when he greets them, but Robyn gets the big hug and kiss. But he doesn’t play favorites 😡

[SunnyBeBe]

Omg, that’s a unique hairstyle Meri has going on there. 🤨

[Adeejay]

Loved the look on Robyn’s face when Janelle said that she had to think about whether she still believes in plural marriage.

I lost my mom on Christmas eve 1988. I tried to give her gifts to volunteer organizations but they were done with their gift giving. So I took them to a local thrift store.

[deirdra]

Christine may have gone for a massage, but Kootie has also gone to have his curls trimmed and dyed blonde again.  Presumably both were subject to masking & sanitizing rules at the risk of their businesses being shut down.

[Chris Knight]

After the funeral, why does Asshole have to hurry back to Robyn ?

[sainte-chapelle]

Meri….no one really spends time with you. Kody can’t stand you and never visits. Unless you are financially dependent on Kody it is time to go. Find a new man. Move on.

[Ms.Lulu]

Meri is not a factor in this episode.  And she is a non factor in the family now.

and does he quarantine for 14 days before being in the same room with Robyn & kids?  I doubt it.

Robyn said it was "very hard" for Ari to be without her dad for ten days.  In the meantime, Savannah and Truely haven't seen him for months.  

Edited January 17, 2022 by Adeejay

[sainte-chapelle]

Saying he doesn’t know if he would be forgiven tells me who runs the show. Soooo her kids were so hard done by because he was gone for 10 days? Fuck off Robyn. 

[mjt626]

“I made a promise to Robyn.”

Umm you’ve made promises to like 20 other people, Noodle Head.

Of course Robyn doesn’t have one scrap of self-awareness when talking about how much one of her kids misses Noodle when he’s gone for 2 days. (I thought she said 2, maybe it was 10, whatevs)

Edited January 17, 2022 by mjt626

[Ms.Lulu]

I will say that Robyn should be working with her children so that they don't get upset when they don't see Kody for two days.  

I mean, they claim to live polygamy.  Wouldn't that be part of being a good mother and sister wife?  If you don't prepare your children to have intermittent access to your husband you are signaling to the kids that it is okay to monopolize the father.

Primetimer, we really need an angry emoji 😡🤬 and a sick emoji 🤢🤮 to be fully functional with our fillings.  Because Kootie makes me really mad in this case and I needed that emoji.  And alternatively, he makes me really sick when he is really full of himself or praising Sobyn.

My understanding of plural marriage is that they are taught to endure. It’s for the afterlife that you get rewarded, so happiness on earth is optional.  I’m no expert, though.

Meri's enormous house...for one person. 

[Kbo]

After seeing the previews, I can’t wait for next week. Kody seeing his stuff in the garage makes me 

[SunnyBeBe]

What does Meri do in that big house by herself?

[65mickey]

So Robyn's kids can't be without Kody for a couple of days and God forbid he can't be there for Christmas but Ysabel can have major surgery without her dad and not see him for 6 weeks. Tells you about his priorities. And it isn't being there for anyone's kids but Robyn's

She spends half her days scouring the Internet for "strong woman" memes.  And there are always bananas.

[Spectator]

I give Meri a lot of credit for finding the strength to smile as often as she does. Kody has really done his best to try to squash every ounce of joy out of her life. 

[Adeejay]

How big is Robyn's mansion?  It looks huge from an aerial view.  Especially when compared to Janelle's and Christine's cottages.  

[SunnyBeBe]

Who’s house are they celebrating?

[Sasha888]

You're lucky your stuff's in the garage in boxes, Kody.

If it'd been me, your shit would have been strewn about the front lawn.

[eskimo]

Kody tells Gabe he doesn't know what his girlfriend is doing so he shouldn't see her, but obviously thinks he knows what is Nanny and her husband do every second they're not at Robyn's.  What a hypocrite.   That Nanny should not be there per Kody's own 'logic'.  

[Ms.Lulu]

So Kody is the one that pulled the plug!  He is terrible.

And there is Covid in Robyn's bubble.  To quote Christine: What. About. The. Nanny?
