Right?  Can't Robyn ask the nanny to run a brush through that child's hair once in awhile?  And keep Ari away from the scissors?

When he said that his sweet baby Ari was the social lubricant for the family?? 

That induced a full-body shudder down my entire spine.  First King Sol is the child that was supposed to glue this family together, and Ari is the lube.  Looks like they both failed their job assignments.

I can't believe that this is the same guy who was obsessed with having his adult children move back home. 

That was a major lightbulb moment for me.  This is the jerk that pushed to build a mansion on Plague Pond with extra wings and turrets for his returning offspring.  But now?  It's 18 and you're out the door?  Kody is unhinged and completely out of touch with reality at this point, and I know that while Robyn is playing a huge part in all of this, Kody's kids aren't going to forget that he was cool with them being homeless while Robyn's ADULT kids enjoyed living in a ridiculous mansion.  Wow, just - wow.  Kody is disgusting.

Also known as "Robyn's Theme:  The Dark Queen Arises."

And one (okay three) more observations - there's no way Kody had two huge cardboard boxes of books.  And it's pronounced "PRO-TO-COL," not "proto-CULL," you stupid moronic caveman.  Also, Kody NEVER deserved Christine.  NEVER.  The adult kids must be livid watching how little Kody cares for the woman that raised them.  He is such scum.

We only need one more wife to leave for Kodouche to lose his planet! Gotta have 3 for that. Meri needs to grow some and spiritually divorce him, because I don’t think Janelle will. Will he have to go find another wife? Now that i might watch just to see Sobyn and her greek chorus of daughters wailing and fainting. 

I noticed Christine said that their church or faith would need to spiritually release her from Kody but as far as she was concerned that was between her and her Higher Power. I kind of hope she did end up going through the unsealing process or whatever they call it just so Ramen noodles doesn’t think he still technically has her in his count of wives to qualify for his planet.

They replayed my favorite scene where Meri tells Christine to look at the mountains. The amount of denial Meri is in is really something.

Christine deserves someone who cherishes her. If Kody isn't the guy, he needs to have some balls and let her go but he likes to keep the wives he's not into on a string to satisfy his ego. It's pretty gross. I'll bet Janelle's kids who adore Christine, really hate Kodi now.

Can't wait for the one on one interviews next week. From the preview, it looks like Kodi brought a big vat of Kool Aid for the remaining wives.

Meri is a dolt and the opposite of Christine, who is honest about and addresses her feelings, then does something realistic and productive about those emotions. Christine is 100% brave while Meri only wears a T-shirt with the word on it.

I think their church excommunicated them.  Would the church still consider them sealed after that?  Would the church do anything to unseal excommunicated members? 
They have quit adhering to at least some of their former church’s teachings, such as alcohol and language.  Yet Kody persists in his multiple wives needed to ascend theory. 
 

ETA - the internet says that the Mormons  suspend the sealings of excommunicated members.  So maybe AUB does also.

What is up with Ariel’s hairstyle?  Are mullets big on 5 year old girls in Flagstaff?

I have a cousin who, when she was about Ari's age, had super long hair. She refused to put it in a barette or a ponytail and it was always falling in her food when she ate. Her mom cut it short in the front until she was old enough that she would allow for a proper haircut. That's what Ari's hair looks like to me.

And good God - don't these people talk to each other. Ever? Christine boxes up Kody's stuff because it's too hard to look at it. I don't blame her. But maybe shoot him a text and say "your shit is in the garage; come get it next week?" Kody thinks maybe Christine is playing a game but maybe not. He's heard rumors for years that she is leaving him. I dunno - maybe ASK HER what she is thinking???

Also, why wasn't Day'un in the car for the Covid testing of the Robyn Brown contingent? I also don't remember seeing him at the Ari Tribute.

In the preview for next week it was perfection when Christine was asked about her relationship with Kody and she says, "We're divorced."

Can't be divorced, never married.  She's just another unwed mother whose boyfriend moved on.

What I found intriguing was that at a couple times during this episode in Christine's interviews the camera person ensured to include the picture of a Lady and a Knight that was hanging on the wall behind her head in the shots. Maybe it was of Guinevere?

Throughout the years Christine has often portrayed herself as a princess, replete with the castle "turret" on her Vegas house and that RIDICULOUS dress she wore to the commitment ceremony.  

She mentioned wanting a romantic marriage with Kootie in her interviews this week.  Wow, delusional much, Christine?  The guy should ride up to your castle on a steed and sweep you up in his arms? Sheesh, the man's got 4 wives and what, 20 kids now, and you think he's got time to romance you?  That's hard enough for a monogamous couple with several kids to do!  Moreover, sorry, but to have that kind of marriage, the folks involved have to be in love with each other.  Kootie and Robyn have that.  You'll never have that with him, no matter how many turrets you build or fanciful pictures you hang.

Don't get me wrong, I wish Christine the best and I'm glad she got away from that monster.  However, she's a silly woman at times who didn't appear to have had a good grip on reality up til this point.  We'll see if that changes now that she's on her own.

I also wonder if all 7 of Robyn's group were tested before the shindig and produced the results to the rest of the clan as they demanded of them, or did they think they were exempt because of their conformity to their own protocols.

Non binary means not solely identifying as male or female. People in the gay community are usually more accepting of differences and nuances in gender identity. Mariah still identifies as gay.

"I wish Christine the best and I'm glad she got away from that monster.  However, she's a silly woman at times who didn't appear to have had a good grip on reality up til this point."

This a thousand times. She really does not appear to be very smart much of the time. I wonder if she finished high school? She did do a fine job of raising the 13 children though...I guess she cared for Mariah too?

Yes. I actually got a kick out of Ari and would be happy to see more footage of her rolling her eyes and pretending to be asleep as her father drones on and on about family protocull and whatnot. She's spirited, funny, unfiltered...so clearly that's not gunna fly with Sobyn Robyn.

But, please, for the love that is all good and holy, Kodster, let's stop referring to your five year old daughter as "social lubricant"-M'kay?

Watching Kodster fawn all over Ari while his other kids just sat there was hard.

Other Musings:

• First off, if you've been hearing "rumors" that one of your wives might want to dump your ass, for like, 12 YEARS, maybe actually talk to her about it? Oh right..it's more convenient to just hold a grudge and file it away for when you need an excuse as to why you don't want a relationship with that wife anymore...got it. But while we're on the subject, making the assumption that there really were rumors floating about...who was the source? To hear these ladies tell it, it's a huge no-no to talk to the husband about his relationships with his other wives, outside of offering very unobtrusive 'thoughts and prayers' for the health of those relationships.  I guess the easy choice is Robyn, although Meri got an ear-load of confessional first hand from Christine ("look at the mountain").
• It was really hard to watch Kody try to process Christine's boxing up of his shit and telling him he wasn't welcome in her bedroom. Not because I felt badly for him...because he seems more like a potential serial killer with every episode and watching him try to sort out his fillings on the matter is actually kinda creepy.
• I didn't understand the door situation.
• Robyn's hair in her TH segment (now with extra covid exposure!) actually looked kind of nice, dare I say. It looked like maybe that's her natural texture and she finally just let it be rather than blowing it out and then giving it the Nellie Olson treatment. Or maybe it's a perm...who knows? Her personality still sucks, however.

[SuzieQ]

I didn't read all the comments, so probably not saying anything new BUT:

Good for Christine!!  She has evolved more than any other wife and doesn't want Kody's crumbs, the way Meri is begging for them!  I kind of hate watch this show, but Christine breaking down was absolutely heartbreaking!  Kody only cares about making sure everyone knows it's not his fault.  My only question for Christine is why does she want to sleep with him???  Assuming Janelle and him having sex is a thing of the past too.

Robyn's world is about to change.  As the only wife he's having sex with, she will get sick of him being there all the time, if she hasn't already.  She has stated clearly that she wants a  polygamous relationship.  Monogamy and a full time hubby was not in her plans.  

Who would want that buffoon full time??

The loft was her bedroom and she had also put her ‘office’ in her bedroom.  She wanted the door both to keep the cat out of her Lulularoe inventory and for privacy.  Kody only wanted  the door for the cat issue. 
I would never want a bedroom that didn’t have a door. Plus it doesn’t count as a room for resale purposes unless there is a door.

Thanks for capturing the image, I too was wondering what it meant because it seemed to be very strategically placed. 

Also, in Robin's talking heads, her hair and makeup looked professionally done.  The whites of her eyes looked photo-shopped.   I wondered how anyone's eyes could be so bright white like that, it didn't look natural.

Robyn doesn't want monogamy, but she ONLY wants polygamy with the current group.  I think she would go off the wall nuts if Kody even hinted at dating a younger woman.   😱

I don’t think it would really matter what age.  The mere fact of him falling for someone else would be devastating to her.  She knows she’s the only one of the current 4 that Kody is intimate  with.  A new wife would mean that would no longer be true

People cannot be driven to being gay.

Agreed, but if it was possible, the thought of Kody as a sexual partner would be my tipping point. Just sayin'.

I will watch the episode tonight, but I really think Kody assumed that Christine would be like Meri and make no demands or independent decisions. I have a feeling this is the first time Christine has ever stood up for herself with Kody. At least Christine was nice enough to box his crap and label it. I would have put it in trash bags and dumped it outside on the driveway.

 

 

 

 

[Chicklet]

Kody is a moron. Yapping about "I don't know why she put all my shit in the garage. I almost don't care, not sure why this is happening." He really is stupid. 

He divorced Meri but he's afraid of karmic results? 

It's not your house idiot. And you should have discussed it when she said she didn't want a loveless marriage. He can't even pick a lane.

[bichonblitz]

Are we supposed to be believing Kody and Janelle are still having sex? I don't for a minute. I think they are good friends and Janelle still somewhat loves the skeezeball but intimacy? Hell, no. Stop lying.

Kody and Sobbyn were stupid to think her nanny and husband were following their protocols when they were on their own, living their lives. What dumbasses. 

Sorry, I think Ari is a little pain in the ass.

I ♥️  Christine. She's such a nurturer. You can tell by how much Janelle’s kids love her that she was a great mom. Also, I think of all of the wives, she believed in polygamy the most. I think of people I know in bad marriages who don't leave their spouse because of $$ or kids or being afraid of being alone. She is going to be so much happier, heck it's a year down the road. I'm certain she IS so much happier now.

[SonofaBiscuit]

I had assumed that TLC would be handling the COVID tests for the Brown family (as well as their other show "stars"), but my gosh, these assholes actually went to a testing center and all got tested so they could hold a potential super-spreader birthday party for the little girl with the mullet?  I guess I thought that the tests available to the public at that time were pretty much for people who were showing symptoms or had possibly been exposed to the virus.  Eesh.

Speaking of Kody and his stuff, if he really isn't bothered by it, why did he drone on for so long into his cellphone camera? Oh yea...because he's an insecure little cunt who can't handle anyone doing anything less than praising him.

That was Kody struggling with honestly not caring about being rid of Christine on the one hand, but having to spin some kind of reaction that makes him look good on national television on the other. 

I believe his frustration this season isn't that the relationships have broken down, but that the wives are no longer playing the game of pretending they haven't. The betrayal is that he has NO IDEA what they are saying in their talking heads, how they're positioning themselves via his behavior, because the few scenes they DO have together they are showing that they're willing to stand up for themselves and stick to their guns right in front of him on camera. So what are they saying on camera when he's NOT there?  "They're filming at ____'s house today -- how did I leave things with her three weeks ago when I stopped by to pick up those tools? What was she whining about that day that I forgot as soon as I rolled out of the driveway?" 

And given covid and everybody filming their own interviews... it's not even like he KNOWS who the camera crew is with on any given day and is able to give them orders about what to say and how to say it, or jolly them up and hope it makes them speak positively about him. Has got to feed paranoia.

 

[mythoughtis]

I know that the informal recordings from day to day are done via webcam or cell phone by the wives.   It appears to me that the more formal talking heads are filmed much later( they all are wearing the same outfit regardless of the episode). My thoughts are those are actually a question and answer session  between a producer( or assistant) and the wives or Kody. Either in person,  or via an internet call of some sort. I agree that no one is sitting off to the side and glaring at Christine or Janelle while they answer.  l think those must have been done late fall 2021 because Christine appears very thin and just exhausted in those.  Also because Janelle was filmed with Kody this  summer but she appears to be quite angry with him in the talking heads,

Dayton wasn't there, wonder why?

[Shelbie]

I believe Kody was dumbfounded when he found the boxes in the garage because he really never expected Christine to make a unilateral decision. 
He expected her to grovel and beg to try to get him back and feed his ego. 
So glad that she packed his shit up with no discussion.

I wonder if Janelle is being intimate with Asshole. I doubt it,but I also wonder if Christine knows.

Christine looks lovely these days, IMO. She's an attractive woman who deserves so much better than the basement wife treatment. I have the blushing problem too. She's blond and fair. I used to be blond, now Im mainly gray. Blah.

My covid attitude is more similar to Christine's than to Asshole and Robyn but even if it wasn't, I just cannot get over the fact that they have a nanny who was allowed to come and go. And Robyn should shut up about "god looking out" for them. So was god not looking out for the millions of people who got covid ?

The Painting is God Speed by Edward Blair Leighton, painted in 1900.  It depicts a knight going off to war, leaving his beloved behind.  

Maybe it's from Christine's vision board: an aspiration to be swept off her feet by a chivalrous suitor.  Or maybe it's a visual fantasy that Kody goes off to the battlefront and doesn't return.

Or maybe it was on the markdown table at Home Goods.

I think she does, too. I remember Kody shaming Christine for being overweight and eating nachos, but she looks like she’s lost quite a lot and seems more confident now. It suits her.

She’s currently (to me) the prettiest and healthiest looking of all of them, probably in part because she got herself out of that stressful mess. Robyn is starting to show wear and tear and the other two are overweight and unhealthy looking (which Meri tries to distract from by filtering her photos but she cannot escape the film crew!). 
 

[Jeanne222]

So this season opens the door to options for next season. 
With Christine gone they can now build the big house Kody has been dreaming about. 

If Robyn, in fact, wants a sister wife marriage Kody will do a season courting a new wife. That could take a couple of seasons. 

Janelle will fit right into anything because she has no home and no expectations.

Meri likes the money so she won’t leave .  She’ll pout a bit about not getting the biggest and the best but anything is better than nothing!

Say what you want about Kody but he’s a master manipulator with this show and the money tree keeps on shaking over the Browns!

How disgusting that after not seeing most of his kids for months, it is suddenly OK'd by Kody because his princess demanded it. I  roll my eyes (and this is at any parent) at parents who claim that their special snowflake has demanded something, so they must comply. Like it is really cute, when it is actually really obnoxious.

I am confused though as to why, after the potential super spreader Christmas get together and birthday party, Kody is now fine going to Christine's to do work? It didn't sound like he had been there for ages because no one there was following his rules, but now it is OK? I guess because the nanny/tutor/Jack and Jill of all trades came down with Covid? Kody is such a jackass, and that is karma at its best. 

Geez, so the first time we have seen Kody laugh this whole season was in relation to the Covid test? TLC really needs to dump this sad excuse for a human being. I would totally watch a spin off of Christine in her new life. And Janelle's kids. I hope Christine finds her Prince Charming, as she really seems to want that, and she has already had the frog.

Christine was very red at that birthday party. I think she was uncomfortable and maybe even angry at the way Mr Brown nose up Robyn's arse gushed over Ari. 

I wouldn't necessarily read too much into it. I have that thing, too, where sometimes I just turn red and it could be triggered by anything or even nothing. I can't even tell you how many times random strangers have said to me, "Looks like you got some sun!" I usually just nod and say "Yep! Too much time at the beach" even though it's not a sunburn at all. My skin just flushes at the drop of a hat.

Rewatching (laundry day).  I still can't get over that it was the first time Robyn, the kids, and Kody got a test!!   They made everyone else test, but they were exempt?  And, did they even ask the Nanny what she did over the holidays?   Did she get together with her family?  Did she go to church?   Did Robyn bother to ask.    If she had been gone for awhile, why didn't Robyn ask her to test before coming back into the house?      When Kody went to get the wood for the door @ Christine's house, did he mask up, sanitize, and how do we know.  

Over New Years my neighbor has her adult son, his partner, her sister, her husband and herself.  All vaccinated and boosted.   New Years Day son wasn't feeling well, and they went home.   Next day he tests positive for Covid.  Day after his partner tests positive.  BTW her son is still sick - 24 days later.  The rest of the group tested, tested, tested, quarantined.  Luckily they were fine.   But you can have a test one day before - negative - and still be sick.     My other neighbor saw a friend, and got it - has been sick for over 10 days.   I am so compromised, I'm just staying home.

I thought Christine's flush/redness was her emotional reaction to Kody fawning over Ariella in front of the other kids. My soul was crushed for Truely especially. 

Ariella demanded the fambly get together for her birthday? And so it should be? 

I really liked Mykelti's baby shower dress. She really (I'd say rilly but I'm not snarking for once) looked nice. 

Oh, and MAN Kody's genes run strong. 85% of his kids look like Heath Ledger (rest in peace).
