That's what she's said when she had 3 sister wives. Now that they're gone, it's a whole new world. We'll see if she wants plural marriage enough to encourage Kody to marry at least one more wife. And hopefully being HBIC she can help the wives adjust, though I'm not holding my breath about that.

we are all kinda assuming that robyn's worshipful adoration of kody is genuine.  its possible that he's WAY more into her than she is into him and she wasn't counting on having him around  24/7, breathing down her neck and looking for  intimacy every night. mayBe she thought she could get all that tlc money and a nice lifestyle whist being a part time  wife.  25% of kody is plenty.

What make Robyn unattractive now is something she can control. Seeing earlier pictures of her reminded me of how pretty she was. In large part that was due to her smile. Now, all I notice is her sad emoji mouth. 😞  I wonder if she watches the show to see how unattractive it is and that it is something she can control.

She has the same affliction Meri has.  Putty face.  It moves like its made of putty.

I think both Meri and Robyn drink. Their skin is coarse. Yes, Meri may tan, but I don't think Robyn does. Sometimes their faces are  puffy, sometimes even more puffy. 

This is totally speculation from me. My sister is an alcoholic. She dry cries like Robyn. She gets puffy because liquor dehydrates her.

Does Robyn really mean it when she talks about wanting to be in a plural marriage?  She’s always said that, but I’m not sure it’s true.  Not that it matters anymore.  

I think Robyn always wanted the plural wallets she saw due to filming, not the plural barnacles wives

[GeeGolly]

Everyone of them talked about each other like it was their job, but... they all had to be careful what they said because they could trust no one. And they lasted 30 years. Crazy.

[Spisee Hotsos]

OK this has been bugging me for some time and it just came into focus when I watched the Tell Nothing Part 3 last night: Remember a few episodes ago when Kody, Robyn and the kids trick-or-treated at their own house and in the background, Dayton was spotted coming out of a camping trailer? The speculation at the time was, is Dayton living in that trailer, or just hiding in there for the kids to come and trick or treat at the door? Well, in the Tell Nothing Part 3, when Kody is ranting about Covid compliance, he said "Robyn brought her kids, same ages as Garrison and Gabriel, into full compliance on our Covid agreement. And when they didn't, they got to be out of the home." Kinda sounds like Dayton might have been living in the camping trailer. And if so, it also brings new meaning to Robyn's comment earlier in the season "I don't think anyone should have to live in a trailer."

And if K&R bought/rented an RV for Dayton, did they offer the same option to Gabe and Garrison?

I think TLC should spinoff a show for the 3 OG. Yes, I'd even watch Meri. I do not think I will watch Kody and Robyn unless they get at least one new, younger, cuter SW.

I think that Kody has probably already been in discussions with TLC about how to keep this trainweck going. It can't be sister wives with just Kody and Robyn. I have a feeling that Kody is already talkinig to Robyn and TLC about bringing in another wife. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear that he has found another wife. I think Robyn will reluctantly go along with this to keep the money coming in. How the 2 evil stepsisters will handle this if more children are brought in is the question. Robyn will retain her position as HBIC. 

Unfortunately I don't see a show based on the 3 other wives. Maybe a special or 2 about life after polygamy. 

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

Maybe Robyn "needs to get her scent out there" to secure another season.

[whydoievencare]

Robyn's tag line should have been:  "I didn't just want the sister wives, I wanted all their money too!"

I can't find the link now but there was an In Touch Weekly article out there that said Dayton lives in the trailer and that Gwen had confirmed it. I have no idea how reliable either "source" is...

[KateHearts]

I wonder if Kody thinks it was enough for him to apologize to Gabe and Garrison (because he was directly asked on camera) and so he's done his part to "fix things." The fact that he, as the adult, made comments that they needed to come to HIM to initiate conversation and start to repair the relationship  (and stated like a petulant man-child) shed a lot of light on his immaturity. Gabe's heartbreaking scene in which he tells us how sad he was not to hear from Kody on his birthday revealed to me that he is miles ahead of his father in the maturity and insight departments.

If this shit show continues, I'd like to formally petition TLC to have their tell all episode interviewer replaced by any random Primetimer member.  

That way when Kody or Robyn try to rewrite history, the Primetimer interviewer can immediately say, "that's not what you said in Season 9, Episode 4 at 36 minutes in ... roll tape."

 

 

I volunteer I would have clips of what they said ready to go and roll that shit frame by frame like a Zapruder film!

Agree! I think if she did, it would only be to keep the show/gravy train going for a few more seasons. After all, TLC dragged out dividing Coyote Pass for at least a season, Covid 19 for MANY seasons, Christine leaving for a whole season. A new wife or two could stretch this show into many more seasons. The last thing Robyn wants is to have to get a job.

I might watch Kody replace Robyn with another “soulmate” and watch her experience what the other 3 wives experienced. I think Robyn knows this already as she said it would be “disrespectful” to bring new wives in (her excuse for she doesn’t wanna give up HBIC and feel jealous).

I’d rather the show die here and now, but Christine has said she’s been filming in Utah, so we might just see the train fall off the tracks into the ravine and burn one last time. Please let it be the last time we see Kody’s stupid face and Robyn’s dry crying (though at the end of this gravy train there might be real tears).

I agree. They are just a bunch of single women with a bunch of mostly grown kids.  What is there to see?  Plexass commercials?  Grocery shopping? LuLaRot fashion shows? Dating some loser who'd ask them out just for 15 minutes of fame on the teevee?

It's not like those captive cult women suddenly set free who have never seen a TV or driven a car.  These three have been basically single and living alone since they left Lehi.   

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

I guess we will get one more season and then hopefully it will be cancelled. Each of them are certainly not interesting enough for me to watch. I can see it now if it lasts of what we will see.

1. Meri sweeping the front porch of the BnB - snore

2. Christine trying her luck on Match.com

3. Janelle learning to drive the RV

4. Kody trying to get Hellraiser off the chandelier

5. Robyn practicing pinching her thigh trying to squeak out real tears

I would enjoy watching a show because I could imagine Kody’s head exploding because his first three wives can say whatever they want and we could watch Robyn’s face as she is the only outlet for his bullshit.
We might not see Robyn and Kody as much because they will have to get jobs to pay their debt because the first three are keeping all their money.

She frequently places her index finger horizontally across her nasal passages as if to stifle a runny nose.  If she was smart, she could have dipped the finger in onion juice prior to her appearance.

[kassa]

I have noted the trailer several times and it's never been explained - it was the backdrop to the outdoor conversation with Mykelti and Tony and has been in other establishing shots. Hearing that Dayton is living there may explain why Janelle went all out on the one she bought. It seemed very unlike her to go superluxe rather than something she would want to take on a fishing trip, but if he bought one for Dayton and wanted *her* to scrimp on her housing? That may have set her off.

They haven't even touched on Leon's announcement, so there's that still to come, unless they refuse to participate, and that seems unlikely.

That they're Leon.  That still hasn't happened in "show" time. But I can definitely see not wanting to air all the individual reactions to said news. 

It's hard to remember sometimes which kids aren't referred to because they're out of favor and which aren't referred to because they probably demanded not to be mentioned. They stopped talking about Logan for years, and Gwen - I could see both telling their parents and the show to leave them out of it. 

Which reminds me of that low blow of Kody's in the extra bonus footage episode during that awkward discussion with Janelle where he appeared to be trying to get her to call the relationship off and she kept blithely talking about how they can work on it once "they" move into the new apartment.  For those who didn't see it, he was pushing the narrative that their relationship had been bad for a long time and she pushed back that as far as she'd known it had been fine, and he actually came out and said he thought it hadn't been right since Logan was born.  Cut to present-day Janelle rolling her eyes at the camera and saying "Logan's almost 30.years.old!"

I’m sorry to say it was Kody who told Robyn she would have to buy a house.  It was Robyn who wanted to find a rental.  And I do seem to remember other people wanting Robyn to get a house big enough for the big family get togethers.  So to be fair….

You are probably correct, as I only remember Kody being frustrated because he couldn't find a home and he was trying to talk Robyn into renting until a home becomes available. She refused because she wasn't going to uproot her kids again because of not owning. I do remember him initially balking at the price of the house she accepted, but by then the stress of possibly moving several times had Robyn praying nonstop. I understand that uncertainty, but I don't understand her lack of appreciation for the financial loopholes they all went through to help her, and now Kody's implying Christine's the reason they can't move on to coyote pass. Not that I believe Robyn would ever move out there now.

Robyn cried because she wanted to rent so they could build on Coyote pass and thought God would provide a rental and Kody kept insisting there wasn't one and they would have to buy. Their kids ended up sharing bedrooms anyway, there weren't any 7 bed homes to rent or buy, the house they bought had 5. 

You're the 2nd reader to point this out so I need to track down the episode I'm thinking of. My apologies if I got it wrong, but sometimes Robyn cries so much, I can't remember what's the issues were. Time to youtube, lol.

I find it hard to believe that Robyn couldn’t find a large enough place to rent meanwhile Meri rented 2 different mansions with a multitude of bedrooms… her waterfall/elevator house had 2 full master suites and several bedrooms and the one after that also had a ton of bedrooms.

Jmo but I think Robyn wanted to buy a mansion all along but as we’ve seen she gets Kody to be the bad cop while she gets to go on and on about praying for a rental and then in the end they have to buy… boohooo!!! She’s always scheming and conniving!

Just like she told Kody what to tell the other wives about something (can’t remember what it was maybe Covid) but before he left to go talk to the others she told him to tell the other wives that it was HIS idea and not tell them that it was actually HER idea.

This. Robyn does a very good job of acting like she doesn’t want something when she actually wants the thing she says she doesn’t, and somehow she almost always gets her way. 

I remember specifically Robyn adamantly claimed she did NOT want to buy.  And as you just pointed out, Meri found large rentals just fine. I think Robyn just wanted to make it seem like she was forced to buy a huge house when that’s what she wanted all along. Perhaps she thought she’d appear like less of a bad guy (and even a martyr) this way.

It didn’t work Robyn we all see you. 

[zenme]

Yes. Robyn is extremely manipulative and well-versed in it. Even the crying is fake.  Imagine growing up seeing how sister wives have to operate.  So, it seems she’s learned from the masters.

It does make her a fit with a son-in-law who refers to his kids' sex lives the way Kody did (so gross I don't want to repeat it).

Regarding Robyn praying for a "rennal": I've always thought that she and Kody cooked up that supposed feud as a way to try to restore Robyn's reputation, by "blaming" Kody for the purchase. After all, she was the audience's "scapegoat."

This is extra odd because Meri and Robyn were both looking for a rental at the same time when Meri found the big house she still rents to this day (unless things have changed recently and no one has noticed). No idea how many bedrooms Meri's Flagstaff rental has, but it has a playset in the back yard and lots of garages for all of Kody and Robyn's stuff. They only seem to film on the outside of it lately.

I wonder about a lot of questions that weren't asked, or perhaps were but edited out? That's the frustrating part. All us viewers have the same questions yet no one asks about the nanny and subsequent covid. At one stage, Kody was a little too arrogant and angry, refusing to answer a non confrontational question. He forgets he's here on our dime, and we can say goodbye faster than he can say gofundme.
