Season 18 Live Chat

[chuckity]

You know what's funny?  Sister Wives the show is near dead.

But I 100% believe that Janelle & Christine will ALWAYS be sister wives.

And I think Kody knows it too and drives him bonkers.

[Straycat80]

I could watch that scene where Janelle says eff you to Cody  many times. It’s like she’s taking her control back.

It's interesting how Robyn (in the talking head) claims Christine and Janelle blame Robyn for turning Kody against them.

Janelle and Christine never did that. Even in their most hurt, and angriest moments, they blamed Kody for choosing a favorite, or his Covid rules, or his little ones with Robyn, to the exclusion of them and their families. They never said Robyn turned him against them. They laid the blame squarely at Kody's feet.

Robyn is not nearly as cunning as she thinks she is. She might have been able to fool this group of nitwits for up to a decade, but her manipulation is so fricking transparent, that she looks like a rank amateur.

Just now, Ms.Lulu said:

Agreed. Kody no longer runs the family or the show.

We've now reached the place where the new shot list is:

1) Kody image rehab

2) Robyn and Meri conversation

3) Janelle and Christine conversation

 

And nobody needs do a talking head with another person, so the lying and playing the victim goes on unchecked.

This two, no three, hour episode has dragged and dragged and dragged on. What a crushing bore.

[Adeejay]

"I feel tricked" says the woman who climbed over the backs of three timid women to become the legal wife and now lives in a $890,000 mansion complete with a nanny.  How I wish someone would have tricked me like that.  

[eskimo]

Robyn got a little pissed there when Meri said Kody should do something about what's making him so angry.  'What is he supposed....', then remembers she's on camera and dials it back a notch. She let her mask slip again. 

[General Days]

I think Janelle has said a lot of interesting stuff this episode, and I think Meri has said a lot of interesting stuff. Christine has primarily been Janelle's necessary sounding board, this week. 

(Robyn is too busy intentionally misinterpreting everything everyone has ever said to polish up her victimhood crown.)

[Cancun]

“Figure it out”…the single most over used phrase tonight.

[mythoughtis]

Robyn feels like people are making decisions for her.  No they are making their own decisions about their lives.  You just can’t stand it because they stopped letting you decide their lives.

Oh Meri, Robyn just lies to you in your "conversations."

[Ms.Lulu]

See you all next week.

Oh, except Robyn doesn't allow herself to wallow in victim mentality, remember?  She just dusts herself off and makes it happen. 🙄😂😂

[Ms.Lulu]

Welcome All! A quick note to move this to the top of the thread lists.

I think it is odd that Robyn and Kody don't ride over together. We all know they live together, and he works from there.

Do they think they are fooling us by pretending they haven't prepped for the call at their home.

[Art Of Noiz]

I turned this on early. WHO TF are these duck faced chick's? Omgosh?

[altopower]

Of course Robyn told Kody what Meri told her about  leaving for Utah. See how I could anticipate that before they even show it?

[Gramto6]

Hi all! I'm back! New internet service is great! 

[Elizzikra]

So this is Meri’s house, right?

[Ms.Lulu]

Hmmm. Kody's and Robin's love is a place of solace for them and Kody resents not being allowed to showing that around his other wives.

He really doesn't care about anyone or anything but Kody and his 'pencil.'

Edited October 9, 2023 by Ms.Lulu

[altopower]

Didn't they already show us this last week? Or was that the preview so we all know about everything? 

[mythoughtis]

Kody thinks the sunglasses make his hair look better? 

[Adeejay]

"Quasi plural marriage mess."  Oh, Kody.

[altopower]

Just now, Elizzikra said:

Yes, because Robyn and Kody don't let Meri inside their house. Ooohhhh, it's not a safe place for them. So sad.  And we all know that Kody couldn't give a crap about her moving.

[Elizzikra]

They “weren’t allowed” to be in love? Didn’t they go on like a yearlong honeymoon?

[altopower]

Just a ring. It's very awkward, because it used to be the marriage ring that they all had. So if he decided to leave off the claddagh ring, doesn't that mean he doesn't consider himself married to anyone?

[mythoughtis]

What is going on is that you replaced your wedding ring without telling your wives. 

[Elizzikra]

Wait…….. Kody was furious that Janelle made decisions without him but Meri decides to move to Utah and he’s fine with it?

[Adeejay]

Meri, the reason he wore the ring is because he wants you to notice.  

[Elizzikra]

Such a fucking gaslighter…

[altopower]

Good call, Gabriel. Abandoned ship in different lifeboats.

[Elizzikra]

Oooohhhhh! I like Gabriel’s look with the shorter hair!

[Adeejay]

I can't tell if Garrison is joking about the leases.  

[altopower]

Every single week we keep saying, how the hell can Meri still have hope? And still she says it. Every.Single.Week. For YEARS.

[Elizzikra]

Are they sitting shivah? What’s the covered up thing against the living room wall?

[Ms.Lulu]

Gabe's analogy about all of the moms being in their own lifeboats with their kids was great. And I appreciated that he said all the moms are doing a good job and he has hope.

I like that. It is one of the best bits of the season.

And I hope that Gabe, Garrison and Gwen are able to live together without incident. I'm going to guess that they will.

Probably not but he couched it in some humor.

A lease between siblings is a great idea at that age.  

Mykelti and Aspen struggled.

I definitely have soft spot for Gabe. He seems like such a genuinely good person.

I think it’s a great idea between any landlord and tenant.

Agreed that this is so heartwarming and positive - especially since Kody keeps telling the wives that they are doing shitty jobs, can't follow (stupid) rules, etc. 

 

[Ms.Lulu]

I love that Garrison offered to host and he was clear he wants to get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Everyone sees the writing on the wall. Their world has changed. It doesn't have to be worse, but it is different.

This shift is seismic.

[65mickey]

Yeah, 9 minutes in and Kody brought up the safe word. And he sat there grinning like the Cheshire cat when Meri said that she would e moving her business to the B&B. I'm just surprised that the didn't shout out hallelujah, it's about time. 

[sparrowthebrave]

Honestly, this total freezing out of Meri by Cody is ABUSE at this point. He’s actively cruel to her. 

[altopower]

Kody is waiting for Meri to catch up. Uh huh. That's not working, Kody.

[dariafan]

Has he considered trying a headband ??

[Adeejay]

Just in case anyone thinks Kody is interested in whether Meri goes or stays, for the record he wants everyone to know that he doesn't care.  

[altopower]

Just now, dariafan said:

No, because he's a moron and thinks the glasses work really well.

Robyn has no influence? Are you serious? She is clearly the one who manipulates Kody and we all see it. And here she goes with the dry cry again. Sigh.

[Adeejay]

To recap: Kody doesn't want Meri; he really, really doesn't.  And he wishes Robyn wouldn't try and force things, because it's making him uncomfortable.  

[For Cereals]

Meri and Kody are the worst communicators.  Stop saying everything in the confessionals and say it to each other!

But he won’t just say that he doesn’t want her. Because he’s an ass.
