Popular Post Adeejay October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 So, Kody is only holding on to Meri and Janelle because he doesn’t want to lose Robyn’s respect. That is so disrespectful to Meri and Janelle. Everything this man does is about what is best for Robyn. And yet, he would have the world believe that he didn’t have a favorite. 42 6 1 1 Link to comment

I could never be attracted to a man who treated others that way, no matter who they are. Their sick minds must view Kody's willingness to simultaneously push away and also string along, these other women as a testament of his love for her, or something???? This doesn't really describe what I'm getting at the way I'd like, but I can't really express it for some reason.

Teafortwo October 9, 2023 Share October 9, 2023 Meri and Robyn have such a strange "relationship" (in quotes because how can you call it that when Meri is the only one keeping in contact?). When she reached for Robyn's hand toward the end of the kitchen scene, it just seemed super weird - did she really think Robyn was invested in Kody keeping Meri's hopes up? Wouldn't that seem like a red flag? I think she'd been gaslit by Robyn for so long she just didn't know what was really going on. I think based on her TH, that she's wised up by now. 21 1 2 Link to comment
Popular Post ezzy4 October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 And the ring thing is sooooo weird. Can you imagine being married as long as Kody and Meri have been and your husband being COMPLETELY confused about why you'd be asking him about a new wedding ring on his finger?! Kody acted like it was the weirdest thing ever. And Sobyn seems just pissed!! Sobyn seemed hugely offended Meri notice /asked about it. Just another example of the Sobyn/Kody abuse and gaslighting. It was just so disrespectful. (I bet his old ring will be stuffed into a box in the barn he wants to build along with everything else he's throwing away - ie: Meri) 40 Link to comment
Popular Post TexasTiffany October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 That scene was so embarrassing. Kody says he could build a "barndominium" for Meri. Meri acknowledges that is where Kody wants to put everything he's done with and doesn't want to be bothered by anymore. Kody uses every opportunity to use Meri as an emotional doormat and wipe his feet all over her. Meri said it. She's really been by herself, doing things for herself for a decade now. Don't leave a door open for that a-hole Kody. Pick up your self esteem, tell him you are leaving and don't look back. There is zero future with Kody. He is nothing but toxic. Is she staying for the show's money? Then do something else on the show that's more interesting than groveling. Why shouldn't Meri ask about Kody wearing a different wedding ring? He acted like it was none of her business. What an ass. This episode included more interaction between some of the grown children, Janelle, and Christine. It's good to hear them all in agreement that they want to include each other in holidays and celebrations. Hmm, could they carry their own spin off show? They were more interesting than listening to Kody muse over how much he wants to hurt Meri. 36 Link to comment

Hey, whatever works for those two, I guess, but for them to pretend that they were on some sexy date night after the crap that Kody has dished out to Gabe, Garrison and Savanah made me ragey. Enjoy, Janelle, you do you but you can shove your "compartmentalization" rational. Meri talking about having two houses...she was like, "you know who else has two or more houses? Polygamist men." Damn, Mere!! I just wish the Meri on the couch would match up with the simpering wuss we saw during the conversation (if you can call it that) with Kody and Robyn. Kody - there are 14 other places to sit at Meri's house. "I guess I'm gonna sit here on this chair but you're gonna have to move this stupid book." Also, Kody and Robyn driving up in two separate vehicles, but one right behind the other? Stop. Seriously, stop wasting gasoline, you morons. Save your pennies so Robyn can buy another retired Dickens Village house off of EBay. Christine - you go, girl. That is all. Edited October 9, 2023 by laurakaye 27 11 3 2 Link to comment
Popular Post eskimo October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 I think Kody is realizing Janelle offers him something Robyn never can, thoughtful (for the Browns) conversation and more mature (again, for the Browns) behavior. He and Robyn had an us-vs-them commonality for so long and they could put all negativity into that box. I'd bet that even when they were upset with each other they would pin it all on the stress the others were causing them. But that excuse doesn't hold up so well now, although we heard Robyn last week still trying to pin Kody being a dick on 'what Christine did to him'. 🙄 Anyhow, Kody sees himself as some kind of intellectual (🤣) and while Robyn's damsel in distress shtick, and massaging his opionions via ass kissing, feed his ego he has got to be bored as hell with her quite a bit these days. She appears to be a special kind of dumbass. 7 15 5 Link to comment
Popular Post zenme October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 Robyn is a total manipulator and gaslighter. She wants everyone to be believe her hands are clean, and it’s all Kody.

Popular Post zamp33 October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 They should have called this episode "The Writing is on the Barndimonium" I guess Kody is sick of paying for U-Hauls to keep on the property for storage. I was impressed that Meri made the connection of Kody storing her with things he doesn't want anymore or doesn't have room for. As that was filmed more recently I wonder if she has been going to therapy and the therapist has shown her that Kody will never come around and Robyn as just been manipulating her and playing mind games with her. Boy, I never ever thought I would feel badly for Meri but watching Kody barely containing a grin and Robyn - (who by the way is driving the truck that Kody said he did not want used for "soccer mom" stuff and why are they driving separately and happen to arrive at the same time??) saying see he wants you out there continually and trying to convince her there was hope was awful. I would love to see the lightbulb moment when she finally realized they have been stringing her along - and if I had to guess it was probably the tell all filmed at the end of season 17 where Kody and Robyn told that ridiculous story of him wanting to get back with Meri but was blocked by Christine. Season 18 was filming at that time. I hate how they are dragging this season - and if they were dragging it by interspersing clips of older episodes that directly contradict what Kody and Robyn are saying then I would be all in on that, but they are really dragging this out. One more thing - Kody's narcisissim was on full blown display on the "date" with Janelle. All he wanted as adoration and praise for making a reservation at a fancy restaurant and did not want to listen to Janelle's concerns or have a real conversation about how to fix things. It was all me, me, me. I was angry at Janelle for going but I can also see she might be thinking there could be something to fix - obviously there wasn't. Hope she had a VERY expensive dinner and made sure Kody and Robyn paid for it. 30 1 1 Link to comment

mythoughtis October 9, 2023 Share October 9, 2023 2 minutes ago, zamp33 said: Robyn showed her loyalty when instead of trying to fix things with Janelle's boys at the holidays when Meri suggested inviting them for Christmas Eve - Robyn said "that would be scary" and we know about the text thread debacle - she has no desire to interact with the other kids - except maybe for Mykelti. And she’ll drop MyKelti when it’s suits her. I didn’t like Janelle going to dinner with Kody- but she does need to try to maintain a civil separation if the kids ever want to see him. Because he’s already saying the wife (ex-wife) not letting him come over is the reason he can’t see his kids. As if the kids are imprisoned at home 24/7. As if they can’t leave mom’s side. She did shut him down about this being a reconciliation. That was made clear in the TH. The way he treats Meri is awful. Then he uses the excuse that she won’t listen when he tells her it’s over. He had the perfect time and on camera during this conversation to tell her to move completely and why. He didn’t - and that’s all because he knows Robyn doesn’t want him to. 16 1 Link to comment
Popular Post laurakaye October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share October 9, 2023 When Robyn was performing her couch soliloquy about how Meri supposedly begged her to help Meri keep hope alive or something like that, I so badly wanted a cut of a Meri talking head saying, "yeah, that never happened." But bravo to Robyn, she tried rilly hard to squeeze some liquid out of her eyes in that little scene but alas, 'twas not to be. At this point she should keep some eyedrops hidden under one of her boingy curls to quickly squeeze in her eyes when production isn't looking. I could not believe that I was spending my time watching Meri, Kody and Robyn in Meri's kitchen all looking at each other and barely speaking. Robyn was all, "ummm so tell him what you were gonna tell him Meri" and Meri was like "ummmm like I don't know what you're saying, Robyn" and then Meri would giggle and be all "gee Kody I can't think because I'm lookin' at your ring" and Robyn would stare at Meri, and there was some profoundly awkward silence and Kody was just sittin' there staring into space, wondering when the crazy orange lady was going to stop talking so he could go home and hide in his closet amongst his purple shirts and play with his Legos.

They all agreed that there would be no PDAs. So, he was okay with not showing them any type of public affection, but for Miss “Where Should I put my Bills”, it was a whole different ballgame. He wanted the world to see him hugging, kissing, and holding her hands. He even objected to having to sit so far from her at Meri’s.

I do think they had a full marriage up until the separation, but I also think that, in his heart, he is in a monogamous relationship with himself (sorry, I couldn't resist) or possibly Robyn (but really himself). In my opinion, historically, Kody has been able to use sex to manipulate Janelle. That's why (imo) he was so offended last week and talked about his six-pack abs and whatever else it was he mentioned (I mostly tried to black it out). He was offended, because his usual move didn't work. Quote Meri talking about having two houses...she was like, "you know who else has two or more houses? Polygamist men." Damn, Mere!! I just wish the Meri on the couch would match up with the simpering wuss we saw during the conversation (if you can call it that) with Kody and Robyn. I loved that more than a Brown kid loves Mock Tapioca Pudding. And yeah, it would be great if Meri could get that place in her face-to-face interactions.

That was totally bananas. How were there greater limitations on this relationship than on the others? He's just giving himself away because this was the only wife he's been in love with, so it's the first time he's ever WANTED to flaunt it. 20 Link to comment

You mean, kind of like him wanting to store Meri in a barn with the other crap from his life that he doesn't want to dill with? Like that, you freaking asshat? Just checking. This was the scene where I shouted something out loud - I think it was a four-letter word combined with a guffaw. Thankfully no one in my house heard me. I don't know if the editors are having fun this season trying to make Robyn look like an idiot or what, but the intercut of Kody telling Meri she could sleep in the hayloft of his barn followed by Robyn dry-crying, "see? He wants you thurrrr, Meri! He's tryin'! There's still somethin' thurr! Don't give up on us!" was hysterical. Other comments: Janelle? You can "compartmentalize" the various abuses and neglect done to your children by their father in order to go out on a hot date with Curly Sue to the best restaurant in Arizona? Take several seats. He's clearly still got the hots for her - he seems to somehow enjoy the idea of having a wife at home but some bow-chicka-wow on the side. That's not polygamy, though, that's having an affair. Hey, whatever works for those two, I guess, but for them to pretend that they were on some sexy date night after the crap that Kody has dished out to Gabe, Garrison and Savanah made me ragey. Enjoy, Janelle, you do you but you can shove your "compartmentalization" rational. Meri talking about having two houses...she was like, "you know who else has two or more houses? Polygamist men." Damn, Mere!! I just wish the Meri on the couch would match up with the simpering wuss we saw during the conversation (if you can call it that) with Kody and Robyn. Kody - there are 14 other places to sit at Meri's house. "I guess I'm gonna sit here on this chair but you're gonna have to move this stupid book." Also, Kody and Robyn driving up in two separate vehicles, but one right behind the other? Stop. Seriously, stop wasting gasoline, you morons. Save your pennies so Robyn can buy another retired Dickens Village house off of EBay. Christine - you go, girl. That is all. THIS!!! Every word. Thanks for the laughs, Laura! 6 Link to comment

Meri, you are right. Kody is done with you. I wish she would save her money and forget about getting a smaller place in Flagstaff unless she loves Flagstaff so much she doesn't want to leave permanently. I don't think that's her reason. The body language! Kody on one side of the kitchen island, Meri and Robyn on the other….Meri needing to hold Robyn’s hand for safety, talking very passively and sheepishly…she’s SO afraid of him! I’ve never been a fan of Meri’s, but that was hard to watch. And then when she asked an innocent question about his ring, he had the fucking nerve to make fun of her legitimate question. “It’s just a ring,” he replied, with a sneer. He and Robyn looked nervous. It’s probably engraved with some expression of their love, er, I mean their “solace” to one another. 23 Link to comment

This was a simply stupendous statement! Bravo Meri! At the risk of being the board pariah, I can see the point of Kody's barn/apartment idea. And how it could be misconstrued as hopeful, aka he still wants her near. He does not, however, in this moment I do think he was trying to be helpful. He did say making an apartment there, not sticking her up in the hayloft. LOL. 2 Link to comment

Meow Mix October 10, 2023 Share October 10, 2023 That "conversation" between Kody, Meri, and Robyn was something else. Starting with Kody acting like a weirdo regarding where he sat. That island looked about a mile long and why did Meri have to hunch over rather than sitting down? Then there was that ugly ring. Sobyn totally picked that tacky thing out. Meri realized in that moment that despite Kody's insistence that it was just a ring that it was on the ring finger of his left hand where the claddagh ring used to be. She knew the score in that moment. That brings me to the next point, Sobyn pushing her to make her impassioned speech about still having hope and not leaving the family. Either Robyn is really that obtuse or she is the cruelest person on earth. Either way, I was disgusted. And then comes the barndominium. Not only was she supposed to live in some crappy loft with a stove and a sink and everything, but before that she was supposed to live in an RV including over the winter. I felt for Meri in that whole scene because I think she was too taken aback to throw both their asses out. In the TH interviews, she clearly has a clearer picture - or pitcher according to Sobyn. As for Janelle going to dinner with Kody, I'm torn. Sure use him for a free meal and don't give him the reconciliation with your money he is after. But, on the other hand, has he spoken to Savanah yet? Neither said, so I wonder if he has frozen her out for good. He's a POS and I'm glad he had to splash out for a fancy dinner and got nothing for it. And he was not dressed up. I liked seeing the older kids hanging out together, but I don't want a spinoff. I want them to be able to liver their lives without cameras in their faces. I also have no interest in seeing the Tony and Mykelti show because I can't stand either of them. I also noticed that that enormous beanbag chair had migrated to Garrison's house. I hope it was the same one. I would be dismayed to learn that there is more than one of those ugly things in the world. I also thought having a lease upfront was a great idea on Garrison's part. I think Gabe would be responsible and pay rent and to his part in keeping the house up, but Gwen seems flighty and needs the rules spelled out ahead of time. I did laugh at her closet comment. One last thing I have noticed over the last few episodes that Meri and Christine are softening their positions on each other. Meri has defended Christine several times in TH interviews and said in the tell-all that she understood why Christine left. Christine has commented on how cruel Kody has been to Meri for years and that she feels bad about that. There may be too much water under the bridge for them to ever be close, but I am hoping that they can at least be civil to each other at family events like weddings. Mykelti is not there and may never be, but Christine is not in the place where she won't be in the same room with Meri. 20 1 1 Link to comment
