Spoiler, Speculation and Social Media

[JayDub1987]

Sorry if this has been shared already. It just popped up on my MSN homepage this morning.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/sister-wives-gwendlyn-says-robyn-wanted-her-to-save-her-coming-out-as-bisexual-for-the-cameras/ar-AA14t8uz?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=f13c337bc61549308a92e996ef0e2723

Gwen says Robyn wanted her to hold off on coming out as bisexual until the cameras were rolling.

Sobyn knows without the show, she and Kootie will have to get off their lazy asses and get jobs, or foreclosure just might be in their future.  Gasp!  Will Day-Un lose his master suite?  Will Aerosol have to SHARE a bedroom with her snotty sisters?  Well, on second thought, Aerosol is still probably co-sleeping and breast-feeding with Sobyn.  I couldn't believe it when I saw that pacifier in her mouth when they drove up to give Christine the stink eye.  I hope Little Mullet is at least out of diapers.

Its actually really sweet to see Christine and Janelle finally bond after so long. Remove Kody and polygamy and the wives are free to just be themselves.

And this is why Janelle needs to leave. Kody has zero regard for her anymore. She needs to really see it and go her own way. Then, TLC needs to give Janelle and Christine their own spin-off, even if only for a short time. I’d watch Janelle and Christine get back on their feet without Kody.

Conversely, I’d love to see Kody, Robyn and Meri ignored by TLC.

YES!

Without Kody and Robyn around to distract viewers, I suspect it would become obvious how fucked up, unproductive, and ridiculous Janelle and Christine are in their own right. They benefit from Kody's histrionics because it makes them look good by comparison. In reality, the bar is set incredibly low. I don't need a show about Janelle and Christine shilling Plexus.

[Tuxcat]

At the start of this season I really questioned why Janelle would leave. But now, I truly believe she does in fact leave. Just a guess. Gwen originally said that Janellle left, but then back tracked to "I think maybe." After Christine previewed Gwen's patreon video, the narrative changed again. "Janelle hasn't left but I have hope." I think Christine corrected Gwen to stay on the "show timeline" and not give away the plot for next season.

I don’t think Kody, Robyn, Janelle and Christine have any savings for retirement… what are they thinking?

I don't know about the others, but I read on here that Janelle cashed in her retirement to buy... I think it was the Lehi house? Something.

I don't think any of them have any real savings of any kind, retirement or otherwise. It's a bit late to start saving now, but they had better or they will all end up destitute.

Also, I do love how Janelle keeps being super positive for Christine, referring it to a new chapter and new adventure

I think you're right.  I cannot understand how this dysfunctional plyg family lasted as long as it did.  I suppose some of them had to fake it for years, and that, to me, is very sad.

Ok, I know, the source isn’t exactly stellar but wouldn’t this be fun? “Christine and Janelle in talks for Sister Wives spin-off show”:

I'd watch!  Especially if Kootie, Sobbyn, and Meri (with their assorted kids) weren't on it.

[Celia Rubenstein]

Meri is full of crap. Fans have been criticizing her for staying with Kody for ages, way before Christine left.  There are comparisons of their situations being made now, true. But the overall fan sentiment that she is pathetic for staying with Kody despite how he treats her is nothing new. 

She's just trying to make the disgust people feel for her out to be Christine's fault somehow. Which just adds to the overall problem I personally have with Meri - she is at her core a manipulative, dishonest person who refuses to own her own behavior, preferring to create a fiction in which everything is someone else's fault and she's always the victim. 

It's so transparent. And so tiresome. 

[TurtlePower]

Just saw on Google Earth in the vicinity of coyote pass — a home is built in the area of the Brown Prairie Dog Poop Pond. It’s 230 meters to the west of the “pond”, in the trees (where Meri did and then didn’t want to go 😂). I don’t know if that’s in their lots or not. Date 6/2022. 

Cant add the image the file is too big.

The Sun published a piece back in September of this year (which can be seen here) that claimed to show exclusive photographs of their property at Coyote Pass that only showed some sheds on it but no ground had been broken as of yet for any construction.  Supposedly no building permits have turned up either, according to a couple of sources including this one dated this October.  Of course who knows how accurate any of this is?

Boy, they sure have a lot to pack into the last 2 episodes of Season 17. Christine has to FINALLY move to Utah (one can only hope). Oh and Kody wants Janelle to buy Christine's house. You know, the one he never wants to see again. Why not put another wife there, Kody?  Robyn gets super sick with Covid and is in the hospital near death (according to Kody). Kody feels disrespected (really? when did you start to notice?) and Janelle is getting fed up.  I could write the script.

Kody has to know that these talking heads of his are inflammatory right? 

Janelle has to know that no one actually wants to build on CP. Kody hasn't wanted that since Christine said no to the one house idea. He wants to divide, sell and try to profit.

What season did Meri start sounding somewhat drunk and using "like"so much?

Kody said he wanted Meri to partner with them on the land to get it “paid off.” Wow. All he wants is her money, he really doesn’t care if they build. I doubt Robyn cares, either, now that she has her big house. 
Janelle seems to sincerely buy into the idea of them all living on CP, but she needs to read the writing on the wall. Is Kody’s name is on all of the properties ? If so, that’s a problem for Janelle if she wants to or is able to build without his approval. 
Also, it’s not fair that each wife has to share with Kody—then he gets more—and by default, Robyn. If Kody dies, his shares go to Robyn unless he expressly names others in his will.

[mythoughtis]

I hope Janelle has left him because he’s never going to look out for her.

I suspect Janelle and Christine at 50-whatever have finally figured out they need money and will try and save some of their mlm scam money, but since their children care about them, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up with one of the kids later on.  I suspect Robyn will eventually tell the older daughters to “get their scent out there” to get some husbands who can help pay for Chauteau She-Ra.  Also, her Cherished Teddies figurines aren’t going to buy themselves.  She’ll have the tender-aged children spend all day posting money attraction quotes to her Pinterest and when all else fails she’ll take the knife out of Kody’s kidney so he cut himself off a piece of humble pie and pretend to give Meri hope that they’ll swap harmones, but first she needs to funnel some LULUNONO cash into Griftin’ Unlimited, LLC DABSARK Entertainment,LLC.

Brilliant!!

[GeeGolly]

Friggin' Kody. He's doing a walls-up Meri move. Christine left him so he's going to push Janelle out before she can leave him too. He really is an immature little weasel.

I think Kody would be hard-pressed to find more than a handful of humans that respect him at this point. And dogs too, I don't think any of the Brown dogs respect him (or Robyn).

Kody missed the basic message of he has to earn respect.  He's done nothing lately worthy of respect from Janelle, Christine, or Meri.  He's going to lose almost his entire fambly at the rate he's going.

Yep. But I don’t see Meri going — despite her denying it, she’s pining away for him still. He’ll be left the with most miserable of the wives — a clingy unwanted barnacle and a dog kicker. Although I see him wanting to make use of Meri’s income — he’ll take her money but keep her at arms length. I hope she eventually sees this and admits to herself she’s better off alone.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember they borrowed/refinanced twice on Sobyn's home. Kootie was using the "bank of Sobyn" for whatever... I could be remembering wrong, but don't think so...

Yes it was discussed here on the forum. Iirc it was something about a HELOC followed by renewing their mortgage followed by a HELOC. In all they have loans of close to 700k on the mansion. That is, if they haven't taken out more loans since. Now, because of the current market they'll probably have a healthy profit on the house if they sell it. So, they're lucky with that.

But, that brings us back to CP. They still owe almost 300K on the land. Two lots are allegedly paid for, yet no one knows whether that was done by cash (their own money) or even more loans, in which case they'll have another 300K in loans.  I think it's likely that selling the mansion is going to pay off CP, but that's it. How they're going to work out the utilities and building is beyond me. So, Robyn will simply stay where she is.

I am beginning to think that Janelle is dumb when she continues to talk about building on the property. It's not going to happen unless Kody can get TLC to pony up the money for this to keep the show going.  When she blew $50,000 on the RV that probaby killed any hope she had of building on the property.  I would love to get inside her mind to see how her thought process works. Maybe it is just talk for the show. For the record I have never seen what these people see in Coyote Pass. It looks like barren ugly dirt piles with tumble weed growing on it. Not to mention the dried up pond that they all covet.

I so agree. Is Janelle stupid? Or are they setting us up for what is to come next season? Or maybe its both.

Although I do believe that everyone thought they were going to build when they bought the land. But that was what, 4 years ago?

Does anyone know if any of the land surrounding CP is privately owned?

Putting these here since technically they would be spoilers. A reminder of their announcements:

I'm beginning to think so.

The basic problem (as I understand it) is that they can't move forward with any projects at Coyote Piss because they have to pay off the land first but they don't have the money to do that. Why on earth did she decide that the remedy to a situation caused by lack of funds was to blow fifty thousand dollars on a camper?  

Wasn't she some sort of an account or bookkeeper before?  Or was she the one in control of managing the family money or something?  What the hell. Can she do basic math?  It kind of explains the Brown family theory of finance though.  Just do whatever the hell you feel like. It doesn't need to make sense.

Clearly she didn't grasp how challenging living there would be, either (and not just for herself, but for Savannah, as well).  Hauling water,  fighting with batteries and septic systems, having to relocate and get level over and over ... and she thought she would be able to spend the winter there?  Seriously? Not to mention the actual camper (rv, 5th tire whatever) she picked kind of sucks.  Savannah got a bunk area, not a bedroom.  I would have been pissed if I were her.  No wonder she hated it.  

I just cannot fathom why Janelle thought throwing away that much money was somehow going to make Coyote Piss happen.  It's like "fetch."  It is NOT happening!

Possibly a bigger problem is a $900,000 house with 2 or 3 adjacent lots to keep Queen Robyn in safety and seclusion.

I don’t think she’s being dumb, I think she’s pushing Kody to finish what he promised knowing it’ll never happen. I think she’s working Kody so he is forced to admit that he wants to stay where he is, with Robyn. That may well be Janelle’s breaking point at which she will peace out like Christine.

JMO. I hope she’s left him already.

This is true.  It's funny that there is so much talk on camera about not having the money to pay off the land, yet nobody has ever dared speak of this fact which is so obvious to the audience.  The bulk of their money appeasrs to be tied up in Robyn's palace (minus god knows how many loans taken out on it, of course).

When Kody tried to make Christine give him the money from her house to pay off the land, I wish she had told him on camera to sell his own damn house if he needed money.

Because that’s what they do. Short time planning and remedy the present, not the future. That’s how their mind works. None of them can look any further than maybe next month. They do not oversee the consequences of their actions, especially financially. This is how they blew through a fortune over the past 15 or so years, starting with the Lehi house and Janelle’s inheritance.

If she squandered fifty grand to get Kody to admit what she already knows is true (and dragged her kid along for the ride) then she truly is stupid.

She alluded to this on camera and I'm assuming she discussed it with Kody privately as well.

When Kody was saying Christine should only get half of everything they own, Christine basically said to the cameras, half of everything includes his part of Robyn's home and his parts of CP.

[GeeGolly]

Kody wants Janelle to buy a house, pay the mortgage payments out of her Plexus income and then sell in a year to pay-off CP. Of course, once again Janelle would be left homeless because they wouldn't have the money to build. Lets hope she's smarter than this.

You're right!  I remember that now.  But I still want to see someone say it to Kody's face.  I want to see his reaction and listen to him try to spin his way out of it.  

I imagine he would say something about his responsibility to provide housing for all five kids, (three of whom are grown by his standards).  Then I want Janelle to kick him in the balls and remind him how he tried to make her kick her "grown" sons Gabe and Garrison to the curb.  Then when he complains there are no rennals in Flagstaff I want Janelle to kick him in the balls again and remind him he said just last week when he was ragging on her that there were plenty.  Then when he says there is not enough room in a renall for all Robyn's Precious Moments figurines, Janelle kicks him in the balls a third time and tells him they can store the statues in her camper and to STFU before she kicks him in the balls again.

I think maybe I just want to see Kody get kicked in the balls.

Janelle is the sister wife who has gotten the closest - she did tell him to fuck-off. Alas, no kicking of the balls.

Me either, though I will admit the views are stunning. 

[Libby]

Janelle needs to get them to buy her out of Coyote Pass. If they can't afford to buy her out then she needs to get a lawyer and force them to sell the lots her name is on and get her money from the sale.

At this point, the best thing that Janelle can do is untangle herself financially from them and leave.

She needs to come to terms with the fact that she no longer has a marriage with Kody. The only thing that he'll keep her around for now is to help him and Robyn financially.

Janelle has to cut her losses and move on. It's not fair, but sometimes the best that you can do is accept that you got screwed over and cut your losses.

It's a mystery to me.  Having spent time in Glacier National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Alaska it's a head scratcher what they see in that place.  No angels singingk in my opinion.  Go find some real mountains.

In the most recent episode, a few weeks after moving to Utah, Christine and Truley come back to Flagstaff to get the rest of their stuff.

Truley sleeps over at the RV with Janelle and Savanah. So, Truley doesn't have a problem sleeping away from Christine. She has a problem being at Robyn's house. She's a very, very smart girl.

Also worth noting, Janelle went out of her way to make Truley happy and comfortable. She bought Truley special food and her and Savanah both, were very warm and welcoming. Kody and Robyn on the other hand, made Truley shovel snow.

[Rabbit Hutch]

If Janelle and Meri aren't careful Robyn is gonna end up owning 90% of CP.  Boy, I sure hope Janelle has lawyered up in the past year.  Of all of the wives, she deserves the financial stability the most, after giving both her inheritance and her 401K to this family.  😒
