We need to get together as a group and work out the story.  Maybe have @Joan of Argh fake a photo of all of us in Hawaii or something with the date/time stamped for the authorities.

Yes, road trip!! Gotta take care of Sobbins eyebrows while I am there. 😀

Is there a good reason why Janelles boys could nt stay at Meri's  house?  I mean, a rent they supposed to be mothers to all the kids? Why didn't she step up and show Kodyvirus that she is trying to be kind to the rest of the family?

Probably because Meri is a selfish shrew and would never offer that at this point. And, probably because the kids don't like her or feel close enough to ask her?

YES! to those weird eyebrows!  They have GOT to GO!  Also, those two little hunks of hair at Kodouche's forehead that hide the bald spot right behind them.

Agreed with y'all.  Meri's playing games, if not why not offer her McMansion to the outta towners to stay during the holidays, like a normal family?  It's because its all a big, fat lie.  In my family there would be hurt feelings on both sides if your big, fat empty home was not at least offered.  Granted, some of us still prefer a BnB, but at LEAST offer.

This family drives me NUTS!

Oh that would be disrespecting Kody.

They aleady know Meri would never allow her home to be used for large numbers of family members.  She seems to have only ever tolerated a single visitor of her choosing.  I doubt she has beds in all the bedrooms anyway.  At least a short term rental will be properly furnished.  Who knows how many rooms are stuffed with MLM stuff and uninhabitable.

Kody would have been even more angry at the idea of having to go to Meri’s home to see the kids.   

[GeorgiaRai]

The vacation rental was a great idea & the best solution for everyone involved. None of the 4 ladies are host options - Janelle & Christine because of logistics; Meri & Robyn because of their personalities.  The asshat only whined about it because he's an asshat.

If McDonalds forgot to put pickles on his burger he would bitch about them being disrespectful. He is a whiny ass narcissistic bully!

And it would be Christine's fault.

Kody reminds me of a lot of my friend's dads who would get a new midlife crisis family and act like the old one was so annoying, uncool or terrible in some way. No one put a gun to his head and made him marry these women and have a million children. He acts like he didn't choose it.

I don't know where to start, these people are such a mess. Here were some things that struck me in no particular order.

- Robyn's eyebrows. If you're going to paint a face onto your face at least watch a couple of YouTube tutorials first. Maybe use a level too.

- Kody saying "his kids" when referring to Robyn's kids and saying "their kids" when referring to the rest. He's really distanced himself from them.

- Kody talking down to Janelle. They both say they've always been friends but they way he talks to her, she needs to hold a higher standard for her friends.

- Meri sitting there and agreeing with Kody even though everyone has made it clear she's not wanted there. So cringe.

Kody and Robyn used Covid to distance themselves and one by one they're pushing the other wives and the non Robyn kids out. If they want a monogamous relationship they should just say it. It's so immature to play these games. My guess is that they have such fragile egos they can't stand to be the bad guys. They don't care if they're punishing the non Robyn kids.

I wonder if this show has been on so long, and times have changed so quickly that the narrative TLC created of Kody being a somewhat likable oaf became impossible to sustain as the footage no matter how it's edited, tells its own story. No matter what TLC does he's been revealed as an emotionally abusive gaslighter. Perhaps Janelle and Christine feel more comfortable speaking up as times have changed too.

I don't know why this show gives me such a knee-jerk reaction, especially reruns. But here I am, watching Janelle talk about kody getting a truck to move her trailer/ RV, again...

BUT I somehow missed Robyn's talking head where she states that Janelle wants "Kody to buy a truck to haul the trailer." Then she has the audacity to continue with "We are Not getting a new truck to haul her trailer."

I was losing it over Robyn making a statement about who can spend money on what. This is the wife, who only contributed debt, making decisions re: family money. Wtf?

Yes! I noticed during the one on one, it looks as though he has 2 long curls, but coming out on his head like horns, with a sea of bald around them. Very odd.

AND... somehow Janelle, Meri & Christine all would be blamed.
