S16.E13: One on One (Part 3)

There's nothing better than watching Robyn and Kody suffer the consequences of what they've created.

Kody has spent the entirety of his marriage(s) bouncing from place to place, but always at the center of everyone's attention. When he is gone the wives have had to hone their "single mom" skills and make life work for themselves and their children. Robyn came in and only prepped her house for One-on-One time when Kody was away so that he would always be front and center from day 1. After they moved into the cul-de-sac houses then Kody could easily gravitate more and more to Robyn's house with the excuse of baby Sol.

So then once the kids inevitably move on with their lives and the OG wives shift to still focusing on their adult children and Kody comes over (less and less) he still expects to be the center of attention, but he isn't. He thinks that now the wives will put him on the same pedestal that Robyn has been doing and he is used to always being #1 when he walks in the door. Covid really exposed how the OG wives were fine without him around and then when he did come...it was uncomfortable. Yet Kody still expects the same treatment because he hasn't grown one inch in all these years.  He is still a petulant and tantrum throwing child.

I find it the most fascinating in how he can not self reflect in any way, shape or form. He holds wives and children to things they said years and years ago, yet you had better never....ever.... bring up and hold him accountable for ANYthing that has ever come out of his mouth. Doesn't hold a grudge?? Puh-leasse... He has never had consequences from the OG wives and I think he is seeing deep issues from Robyn because she does hold him accountable and fights him on issues.  He gave her a different level of respect/voice in the family...but I think Kody/Robyn are a different kind of miserable. And as children do...they lash out at who they can lash out to...and the other wives/adult children get blamed for everything.

"Be careful of what you wish for, for that is the world you create for yourself"

[Yeah No]

How could Kody not have been empathetic to Christine, she was begging for him to understand?  This guy just didn't give a crap.  Now he's acting like maybe he should have been empathetic?  Gee, ya THINK?  Seriously?  What a bastard!

How could He and Robyn be in such denial that Christine was serious about leaving?  It was obvious to the rest of the world!  Even WE saw it coming!  None of that was a secret!  He heard it from the KIDS?  He could have watched the SHOW and known that!  The two of them are so full of it it's coming out of their EARS.  Neither of them gave a crap about Christine and what she did.  Now they want to act like they CARE?  We all knew they didn't care, they're not fooling us!

Janelle should STFU that Christine made the decision that it was never going to work in her marriage.  It was KODY that made that decision.  We saw Christine for ourselves, we know how much she put into making it work and how much he sabotaged it.

Janelle is saying that Christine made the choice to see it as a non-functioning marriage.  NO.  Christine was seeing reality, not living in a delusional dream world like Janelle does about her marriage.  Janelle is the one choosing to see her marriage as "fully functioning" when it probably is NOT by any sane self respecting person.  Why should she expect Christine to make lemons out of lemonade just because she does?

WTF is Meri saying?  She should STFU too.  Like she's one to talk about making things work!  Her and Janelle are pathetic!  What's in it for them, I keep wondering.  Are they that duped and still holding the torch for nothing in return or are they getting something else from keeping their involvement with this asshole?  They have to be, and it can't just be stability and the family connection.  We know better than that.  It has to be about money or something else tangible at this point.  They are full of shit.

Christine was living her life pleasing everyone else and Kody loved that but he wanted a doormat, not a real wife.  The only time he really liked her was when she wasn't making any demands on him.  That's NOT a marriage by anyone's definition!  Typical bastard, just when the questions got too close to home and difficult to answer without looking like more of an asshole he asks not to talk about Christine. 

He is so full of shit.  He didn't say anything to Christine about the possibility of her leaving because he didn't give a shit.  He knew about it, he'd have to be deaf dumb and blind not to know what she was saying.  It was on the freaking SHOW!!  He said he was relieved, and that's the truth.

What kind of fucked up religious drivel does someone have to swallow to marry a woman they're not sexually attracted to?  Who would do that to a woman or THEMSELVES?  I can't even wrap my mind around it.  Taking on wives he doesn't even KNOW or LIKE?  FOR WHAT?  Because it serves his messed up "celestial" purpose?  That's evil, I'm sorry.  Plus she's beautiful so what's his problem?  Of course intimacy shouldn't be a duty but that's not HER FAULT.  It wouldn't have been only a "duty" for HER.  The sad thing is that if a man is not attracted to a woman it's NEVER going to work, period.  No amount of counseling is going to change that.  It was his fault for marrying her without feeling attracted to her.  And he admits he did that but doesn't see how this makes EVERYTHING that came afterward in their marriage HIS FAULT!

The sad truth is that anybody could have seen (and most of us here did) that he was "just not that into Christine" and that she was beating a dead horse with him.  So sad, I don't blame her at all.  She was just trying to have a better relationship with him and get something back from him.

God bless Christine.  She has suffered enough.  She deserves someone that loves her.  I was crying for her at the end of this episode.  More power to her, it looks like she's on the road to liberation and happiness.  I am so happy for her right now!

"Be careful of what you wish for, for that is the world you create for yourself"

So well said! 👏 👏 

Robyn also used his interest in her to interfere with his other marriages. They've said that she calls him when he's at another wife's house for this reason or that, and she used to invite herself and her kids along to his visits with Meri (the movie nights).

The other wives making her "the Kody whisperer" was a huge mistake because she used that for her own ends.

You're so right he doesn't have the capacity to self-reflect. His head is empty and he just parrots whatever wife he's with at the time says. Remember when they said they could tell who he had been with by the way he talked?

He expected them to work things out amongst themselves, and not bother him with their needs, wants, emotions, or squabbles, but then he also wanted to be the one who controlled everything. It's fucked up.

  It's fascinating and sick how he and Robyn are pushing this toward the narrative that if they all fail at polygamy, and he gets rid of all the wives, (except one! I see you, Robyn!) that it will be ALL Christine's fault. All of it. It's so twisted! 

[Kellyee]

Kody doesn't want to be with Christine. Kody's ego just can't handle Christine having the guts to actually leave. I think he gets off on Meri's pathetic clingyness, even though he obviously can't stand her. The real problem in all this is Kody. I actually don't blame Robyn much, except that she's willing to play Favorite Wife and be all meek and sweet while two of her Sister Wives actually stand up for themselves. 

Kody's anger all stems from the hit he took to his ego. He has no interest in Christine, Janelle, or Meri. It has to be a huge additional burn that Christine is thriving without him. New show, successful MLM businesses, lots of Cameo requests. That's what he's really angry about. He has no interest in sex with Christine, or spending time with Christine. I really wonder if he was ever physically attracted to her in the first place. 

It's awful that Janelle won't back Christine up in earnest on camera. 

[maxmama]

It looks like the weight of the world has been lifted off of Christine’s face, she looks quite relaxed.  On the other hand, the weight seems to have shifted over to Robyn.  I am sure Christine leaving the family has left a big hole in it, but this is the case with any divorce or separation, or whatever they’ve got.  Kody appears to struggle with meaningful relationships with his adult kids, so he will have to figure that out on his own, but it seems pretty likely his adult kids are not clamoring for a relationship with him, and he seems okay with that.  Christine’s departure has upset Kody’s little apple cart; he thought he could continue denigrating some wives and elevating others and that would work for everybody.  I cannot comprehend why Meri stays, it must be financial.  Janelle is not motivated to start over anymore, she seems content where she is and accepts what comes her way.  (hey it happens with a lot of older women).  Not everyone is a dynamo who wants to go out and change the world, or your own world.  Janelle strikes me that way, just leave her alone and let her putter in the garden, or greenhouse, whatever.  I hope Christine is happy, and she is taking it slow, learning about herself instead of chasing after a new guy, I can only wish her well.  Kody is going to be left picking up the pieces of the wreckage of lives he has created and destroyed with his own behavior, and Robyn will be stuck with him.

 

[Kid]

Poor, poor Kody!  Those Wascally Women have made his life miserable for years.  His BURDEN was so heavy!

[ginger90]

Janelle is wishy washy in just about everything, so it’s no surprise to me.

I agree.  It's pathetic that this person who identifies herself as a "Strong Woman" would require another person to be there for her before she has the guts to leave.

By contrast, there is Christine with 3 kids still dependent and most likely less income flow than Meri bravely skipping alone, while Meri is waiting to play hopscotch.

I wish they would’ve gone into more detail about the property.  Doesn’t Christine still own part of it?  Why doesn’t she get to be on the text chain?

I just came here to ask this.  It made my ears perk up when Janelle said something about this new group text without Christine and then immediately gave the example of talking about the property . . . It makes me wonder if that HELOC that Kootie and Sobyn Goblyn took out recently ($180k?) was to pay Christine off on the land like some of us surmised.  What does everyone think?  Do we think she has totally cashed out?  If there is another season of a show about polygamy where there is no actual polygamy, do we think Christine will not be included?  I used to think they would still include her, but if she has her own show and is out of the land garbage it makes me wonder.

I hope she has cashed out.  And I hope she is getting child support from Kody.  I hope it brings him agita and anger every month for the next 7 years when the money comes out of his account.

[MargeGunderson]

I think Robyn’s only worried about the fate of the show. Now that Christine has left, and Kody’s “marriages” to everyone but Robyn have clearly been shown to be in name only, what is the point of the show? I like a good train wreck as much as the next person, but this is going to be pretty dull with the people who are left. Robyn knows that when the show goes, so does her giant house, nanny, and endless supply of Victoria’s Secret clothes.

It should have been, but they're currently filming (or were very recently) which I believe means there's probably two more seasons: the rest of 2021 already in the can and 2022 so who knows.

 

I'm really angry at Kody trying to control what questions he's asked in the tell all. He's getting paid for putting his life out for our consumption and needs to suck it up and answer the darn questions even if he's uncomfortable or afraid of looking bad  (spoiler: he always looks bad)

 His trying to intimidate Suki was bull! I would have taken his head off if he did that to me. He must have stormed off the set, too, because he apologized when they were reattaching his mic. TLC needs to show us that kind of petulance as well. (See Kody, I used petulance correctly)

He's also a liar and contradicts himself constantly. 

 

Revisionist history with Kody.  I nominate him for the show THE BIGGEST LIAR.

Christine should have gone to Victoria's Secret more, and then she might still be having sex with Cody like Robyn does. Robyn came to the marriage with V S bills, so she must have bought things there to please her first husband too? What a faker she is. Needs slapping good!

 

I wonder if Robyn cries after sex.  Gawd, I can't stand these weepy, weak women (and I'm looking at Meri too)

I thought I saw the whole episode - but what I saw is Kody never mentioning the kids with Christine.  I may be wrong.

[Starlight22]

When Robyn talked about Christine and Christine’s children being part of her bigger “pitcher”, it made me think that her anger and crying (yes she mostly does the fake sobbing but I actually think this was somewhat real this time) was because Christine put a major dent in her plans for the celestial after life stuff that they believe in. I think that she and Meri are the true believers and maybe one less wife on the planet knocks them down to a different level in the after life or something.

Robyn appears miserable, I think she wants to be in control and also wants everyone to like her at the same time, and it’s plain to see Janelle and Christine have no interest in a close friendship with her; I think that frustrates her.

Couldn't even bring myself to watch this last night. So the other wives seemed to blame Christine, so they could retain whatever status they have with Kody, although Kody is over plural marriage. Seems they are all in a good place to quit filming. I'm not going to watch Kody spend another season going thru some crisis of faith with his remaining barnacle wives propping him up  Move over Kate Gosselin, LOL. IF Christine agrees, maybe they can do a yearly update. It's the only way they will ever get participation from a majority of the adult kids.

p.s. Just reading the whole thread, and learned about a cooking show for Christine, so happy for her! For several seasons I have posted I suspected she has some "in" with production because of how great she always looked! And the last shot on tonite's show was of HER. Living well is the best revenge!

Both Kootie and Robyn fit the definition of people with narcissistic personality disorder. Symptoms may vary from person to person. The most common symptoms include:

Being overly boastful, exaggerating one’s own achievements

Pretending to be superior to others

Lack of empathy for others

Looking down on others as inferior

Monopolizing conversations

Impatient, angry, unhappy, depressed or has mood swings when criticized

Easily disappointed when expected importance is not given

Always craves for “the best” in everything

Has a very fragile self-esteem

Well, I'd add Meri to that group as well.

[bichonblitz]

Is Kody going to have to pay child support for the minor kids that are still at home? I know Truly and Ysabel are under age. Is there any other younger ones in the Christine/Kody clan. 

I'm dying to know if this trainwreck is going to get another season. 

[UsernameFatigue]

The biggest LOL moment of this episode was when Kody said that he doesn't hold grudges. Hmmm, he has held a grudge for years against Meri because she went looking outside her sham of a marriage for love. He has held a grudge for years against Christine because she found her voice, and on the advice of her father stopped saying "yes" to everything. Kody said either in the first or second One on One that he and Janelle do not parent well together. Obviously getting back at Janelle for taking her sons' side against Kody's Covid rules. And he has held a grudge against Janelle's sons - or any child for that matter - who dares to  challenge his decisions. Kody's face should be in a dictionary under the word grudge, no written definition needed.

You can say that, again!  

Mr. "I don't hold grudges" was laughable in his stupidity and arrogance.  His dick 'n balls nose and sour expressions are pretty damn hilarious.  Mrs. "It makes me angry" can take her Nellie Oleson curls and stick 'em where the sun don't shine.  

It's been so enjoyable to snark on this ship of fools with all of you, for another season!  This forum is the best.

I think with Janelle, she’s just content with her situation. She did tell Kody to fuck off this season.she has a good relationship with her kids, and grandchildren to visit. A house that she likes and I do believe she did mention that she likes not having Cody around. 

She spent many years actually working, at a real job, and provided support for the family. Christine raised all the kids, which is also a real job. What have Meri or Sobyn done to help financially. They have been the two biggest drains on the finances. I think Janelle deserves to putter around her garden and enjoy her kids 
She always seemed to me to be the brains and the most grounded in the family

I just watched an old episode, where Cody and the wives go back to his home town so he can strut around showing off his wives. EVERY SINGLE PERSON he grew up with in the town that was interviewed said the same thing. He always had to be the center of attention.

All of this.

All Kody wants is for women to fall at his feet and once they don't he is done. He says he's been betrayed. 

Christine raised the majority if his kids. Show her some respect. But that's just it. He never did. Her opinion and she didn't matter. She was just there to lay the pipe to and keep her pregnant.  Once that stopped so did any intimate relationship. He used her, plain and simple. She loved him and tried to do things his way and tried to stay sweet and it didn't get her shit. I hope she finds a dude and he treats her like gold.

All the others can stfu. She raised their kids and they need to stfu. She stayed home with all the kids and home schooled them, etc., while they all worked or whatever it is Kody did. Show her some respect and quit making her leaving about themselves. I swear they are all beyond selfish.

It depends on the state, but since the age of majority is 18 paying for college usually isn't required.

It depends on the state you live in.  In AZ I believe it stops at 18 &/or the child graduates high school.

[ginger90]

Found this:

In Arizona, support payments are made until the child is 18. If the child does not complete school by age 18, child support continues until he/she graduates from high school or turns 19, which ever comes first.

I don’t think there will be any filing for child support.

And not only that, but Robyn "gave up" in a monogamous marriage! There's no way she understands and knows exactly what Christine has been through and the struggles she's lived as a polygamist wife of almost 30 years.

 Robyn needs to get off her high horse! (does her high horse have ass fire like Janelle's art?)   

   When and if Kody brings in another wife, a younger one, that he's met and started talking to (with help from Meri; all done behind her back and in secret), and that new wife needs to be courted extra long, and put into the rotation before marriage. (She will also claim to need a 20 day honeymoon, because 11 days just isn't enough time to bond.)
  He then must engage in pda with the new one in front of Robyn, and the new one will start changing long-held family agreements without a vote. She'll also put her two cents in on everything to do with Robyn's kids, and claim it feels like she's been there from day 1. (Photoshopped pictures of the new gal with Kody optional, but only if she erases Robyn and her children)

 The new one must also claim to be getting scraps and playing martyr, when anyone with eyes can see she's getting the cream off the top. The new wife will also insist that she needs to be where her family is (if she doesn't already have kids) and they they must move right now, without any planning or family agreement. Hopefully she'll have kids that desperately need health ins or some other unlikely story, so must have the legal marriage and Robyn must be pressured to give that up. It's only a piece of paper you know!

Once he starts spending all of his time with the new one, and starts ignoring Robyn's needs and her kids needs -and he starts talking trash about them all- then and only then can she make some comparisons. Until then, shut up, Robyn!

 

Ok this is all tl;dr: In summary,  it's just Shut the heck UP, Robyn!

I don’t think there will be any filing for child support.

Why not? What about Truely and Savannah? Besides, they live in Utah now.

Savanah is Janelle's girl.

I'd bet they have come to an agreement privately just so there won't be any court documents for the internet sleuths to find. Darn it!

What if Christine is making more money than Kody! That would be amazing. I hope her show takes off and she gets invited to go on Dancing w/t Stars

Just my opinion.

Truely lives in Utah. Child support would  be from Arizona.

Well, I'd add Meri to that group as well.

If there’s any doubt about that, watch season 5

And even if she makes more money than Kody, since she has physical custody of Truely, Kody pays child support.

And that seems fair--you have to pay your underage childrens' expenses.  That is the cost of procreating.

Couldn't even bring myself to watch this last night. So the other wives seemed to blame Christine, so they could retain whatever status they have with Kody, although Kody is over plural marriage. Seems they are all in a good place to quit filming. I'm not going to watch Kody spend another season going thru some crisis of faith with his remaining barnacle wives propping him up  Move over Kate Gosselin, LOL. IF Christine agrees, maybe they can do a yearly update. It's the only way they will ever get participation from a majority of the adult kids.

p.s. Just reading the whole thread, and learned about a cooking show for Christine, so happy for her! For several seasons I have posted I suspected she has some "in" with production because of how great she always looked! And the last shot on tonite's show was of HER. Living well is the best revenge!

Let's all give Christine a big applause.. and she looks great (and happy).. FU Robin

Interesting how they manage to keep this show going!  We had a couple seasons of Meri and Sam.  Then a couple of seasons of the big move.

This is Christine's season!

What will they come up with next?

I know!! I know!! Next season will deal with how they are going to divide the coyote pass land among the FOUR of them for the first half of the season. The second half will be Ariela's 6th birthday bash!

[notnowimbusy]

Janelle posted this today.  I bet Robyn is screaming "It should be me, I can make a relish tray".   But nice to see Janelle support Christine.

[Pooky]

I wish we had more from these tell alls.. such as..

How do you justify not going to Ysobels surgery? Yet you went to a funeral with Janelle.

How do you justify having a Nanny? And What.Does.the.Nanny.Do?

Are you in love with ANY of your wives? 

Will you ever build on Coyote Pass?

Could you have dealt with Gabe and Garrisson better?

Also show some clips of him with Robyn that contradict and expose them and readers questions. 

Surely the older kids could have been interviewed as well.

I think they'll take the first three episodes to just replay what happened this season- lots of recap footage and lots of TH segments where the remaining four give endless variations on "I'm still angry"(Kody), "It's an adjustment but I'm happy she's happy"(Janelle), "I'm still trying to take it all in"(Meri), and Robyn fake crying and making it all about her. The next four episodes will then do the deep-dive into the endlessly fascinating world of how to subdivide Coyote Pass..more sitting on lawn chairs and having pointless conversations about that. If they're picking up in 2021, then COVID isn't over yet, so that will buy them a couple more episodes where they can recap this season's Covid arguments, show more recaps, blah, blah, blah. That will leave a couple of episodes for all thingks related to poor Robyn's youngest children who don't remember their sibling's names anymore and that older kid from the former wife who just had a baby in Utah.

I rilly want to know what kids he said he heard Christine wanting to leave was from? I would think it would not have come from Christine's or Janelle's kids

So all the other wives ( though neither Janelle or Meri have a “ fully functioning” marriage) are taking the side of Kody. This for Christine must solidify the fact that she made the right decision. If you have no relationship other than anger & resentment with your husband & your supposed “sister wives” don’t have your back, what’s the point of staying? After Christine spent the greater part of her life raising everyone else’s children. Kody is just a very angry and unaware man. So funny that he thinks he doesn’t hold grudges.

Robyn is obviously not going to blame Kody, and if Meri allowed herself to verbalize an understanding of Christine’s position then she might have to face uncomfortable truths about her own marriage. Janelle didn’t seem to side with Kody at all. She was mostly neutral but did say she sees Christine as happier since the split. She also backed Christine up by saying Christine tried for a long time to keep the marriage together.

The kids used to be part of the tell alls. But they are no longer tell alls. Probably because even TLC knew that they weren't telling anything let alone telling all. Now it just one on one. It's a joke that they spend 3 episodes rehashing the same old stuff.
