Season 17 Live Chat Thread

[sheshark]

Robyn's face!  Kootie shrugging his shoulders and flailing. He can't answer the questions without her input.  Ugh that Zoom meeting screen just says it all.  Three single women and the monogamous couple.  She just cannot have those "Baby Momma's" taking up his time.

Kody is around the people he wants to be around.  So, that is all that matters.  Notice Meri isn't contributing to the conversation.  

I’m sure Meri’s hoping that now that everyone’s abandoning ship, she might have a chance again. .

One would hope Kodouche getting slapped with the reality of Christine leaving would make him want to figure out his relationship with Meri.  Wait, that requires introspection.  Never mind!

[Grifter Lives]

Bonnie was also Janelle's first mother-in-law.

[Adeejay]

My heart is breaking for Meri.  Some of us know all too well the pain of losing a parent. After a while, it doesn't hurt as much, but it never goes away.  Eight years later and not a single day goes by that I don't think of my dad.  

[ezzy4]

Bonnie did seem really sweet.  How did she end up with such a pill of a daughter?

Good point.

[deirdra]

Janelle lost her first mother-in-law only ~3 months after her own mother, Sheryl (Kootie's step-mother and mother-in-law)

[SunnyBeBe]

I can’t imagine the pain of losing a parent……so sorry. 

[Suzywriter]

This show is weird. This isn't 'plural marriage', it's sanctioned cheating. Multi-generational abuse. Women and children as possessions. 

[Ms.Lulu]

Does anyone believe that Kody didn't 'run home' and tell Robyn that Christine was leaving? Why is she pretending?

Of course he did, just like he told her when Christine  asked him not to go into the  bedroom 

[Adeejay]

I wonder what happened after Meri's dad passed, that made all his wives abandon each other.  Maybe, they weren't close.

Meri is a pill because she did not sign up for a plural marriage with the expectation of her being cast aside for 'better and better' wives. Kody got tired of her shortly after marrying again, and began treating her like a wrinkle in the carpet once he'd acquired a third one. When Robyn showed up, he was more than happy to divorce her under the guise of being the good guy who could adopt Robyn's kids by ditching his first wife. 

He didn't just divorce Meri to be a hero to Robyn and her kids; he was finally able to discard her. I'd be a pill too if I'd been discarded but expected to stay around.

[Ms.Lulu]

No, not Robyn couldn't be there because of Covid--Robyn chose not to be there due to Covid.

Robyn has already told us that she is high risk, so we know that Robyn was eligible for the vaccine.

[sheshark]

Yay, finally Mykelti says it is weird to have the dad there at childbirth.  And how she helped with the kids, as Robyn is not well versed in motherhood.

[Ms.Lulu]

There's a good bit--Kody has already moved his things from the garage.

[For Cereals]

Great that Mykelti and Robyn have a good relationship but this would still piss me off.  Christine got no support for her kids and yet she sent one of her own to help Sobyn and still hears how she was disrespectful to Sobyn from Kody.

[Adeejay]

Why did unemployed Robyn need help with three small children?  I guess Mykelti wasn't close to Janelle because she wasn't around.  However, I can remember Meri criticizing her choice of clothing.  

[Ms.Lulu]

Love 'breathe in through your nipples.' Mykelti is a free spirit.

[mythoughtis]

Tony seems pretty relatable here.  How can you not like a man that confesses he is worried that he might drop the baby and is right there beside his wife?

According to Kody, Meri tricked him into marriage. She wasn't the person he thought she was.  

[Cancun]

If Bonnie was in the hospital for two days, I wonder why Meri waited to start driving to be with her.  Even if death wasn’t a thought, wouldn’t she want to support her in the hospital?

[For Cereals]

Not gonna lie, their apartment looks much cleaner than I thought it would be…

Were they such advocates for home births because they didn’t really carry insurance?  

[sheshark]

I just hope Mykelti is having her twins in the hospital.  With an epidural. This is hard to watch.

They weren't even that small - they were all in school (perhaps Robyn was already sleeping 'til noon back then). Perhaps Mykelti agreed to help out for a chance to see her Dad.

Hospital visits were difficult in covid times.  As much as i don't like Meri, I'm gonna assume she didn't go right away 'cause it would have been difficult with hospital covid rules

[SunnyBeBe]

Aren’t they in an apartment?  That noise would be an issue for some neighbors.

[deirdra]

Avalontoyota was born 13 months into Covid.

Yes.  My stepdad was in the hospital in May 2021.  Only 1 visitor and you had to be cleared with a temperature check  to visit, and the cafeteria was only open for staff

Maddie was in labor for 60-something hours.  Maddie holds the record.  Christine perpetuates the myth.

[Ms.Lulu]

Turns out that Tony is truly here Mykelti's perfect partner.

He was so supportive.

I have new respect for Tony.

And it looks like Christine does too!

My guess is he wasn't such a prize to Meri either.  Just a thought.

He said this about Christine!  He said it about Meri, too?!!

Haven’ t chatted in forever. The time line for this gives me a headache since so much is such old news.

Yup, ~1 yr ago (or 2+ yrs ago in real time).  When confronted during the Tell Nothings he invents things off the top of his head.  Previously, even during the catfishing, he had never suggested that Meri had entered the marriage fraudulently. And he has never explained how exactly she was not the person she said she was when they married.

Hi!

[Twopper]

These people are never going to build anything 

[Grifter Lives]

Kody: We bought Prairie Dog Plague Pass 3 years ago, but now that Christine's leaving, I can't start to build.  Nevermind  the lack of excuse for Years 1 through 3.

[SunnyBeBe]

Hey!

Ive never known a mom to be so overly invested in the young father competing to hold the baby.  I guess that’s a Christine thing.

[sheshark]

Ha ha Kootie’s hair on top of the griffin visor.

[Ms.Lulu]

Janelle buying an RV without asking Kody.  I love that.

He wants to decide but he doesn't live with her.

And he's criticizing her for acting without having a plan.  As if he ever had a plan or a strategy.

[Ms.Lulu]

Kody should be happy with Gabe and Garrison moved out.

[Suzywriter]

They have enough money to buy a trailer and a truck to pull it while they build a house. 

[SunnyBeBe]

Where in the hey did she get enough money to put down payment on that travel trailer?  They are pricy!  My nephew bought one not nearly as large as hers.
