If it was filmed this year, then he didn’t learn anything from tragedy- and it makes him look even worse As far as Robyn , she made sense - but that doesn’t redeem her in my eyes for all the harm she has caused. There is no redemption for Kody imo, he continues to be the victim in all this yet there's still no effort on his part to accept what he did to destroy his large family. My TV box had recently recorded the first two seasons. I just watched the first episode out of curiosity. I was shocked to realize Robyn was introduced in the first episode, that wasn't my memory of when she arrived. Their selfish love damaged the lives of so many. Yet he cries for sympathy for loving only one wife and she cries because she wants to sit on the porch with her sister wives, how bizarre they even continue to show their faces. 11 2 Link to comment
Meow Mix October 13 Share October 13 11 hours ago, Yeah No said: I didn't notice Garrison in any of the older family footage either unless I missed him. They probably had to go back and edit that footage to eliminate him anyway so the "something insensitive", might have just been a scene with him in it. I would hope they asked Janelle how she wanted to handle Garrison's presence on the show going forward, but that may be giving the producers too much credit. I just can't wrap my head around a father who after losing a child like this thinks that the best thing to do is film a ridiculous soap opera scene to try and make he and his favorite wife look like the victims. How does someone even get to that point? 11 1 1 1 1 Link to comment
Popular Post OldWiseOne October 13 Popular Post Share October 13 17 hours ago, LotusFlower said: This is a really good theory. There were SO many things that seemed off about that scene. First of all, the scene followed the statement saying Kody & Robyn had a blowout fight, and Kody left the house. But then when he returned, they didn’t seem angry with one another. Then so much of Robyn’s speech seemed rehearsed, and, as so many have pointed out, out of nowhere. Since when has Robyn cared about Kody’s relationship with the OG kids? Then when they were done, they were practically holding hands as they merrily finished the scene. I really think it was orchestrated by K&R and the producers to further a narrative or somehow fix their reputations. Which is ridiculous and manipulative if true, and even more so if it was filmed after Garrison’s passing. What a COINCIDENCE that the crew happened to be there filming on a day that Robyn and Kody had a huge fight, and were fortunate enough to arrive just before the aftermath and reconciliation. 4 1 2 4 14 Link to comment

I don’t think it ever occurred to her that the first three wives would ever leave and she believed she could swan around being the favourite wife and issue commands on how everyone else had to behave in order to have minutes of Kody’s time. Jokes on her , the original wives don’t care about seeing him or listening to her anymore. 13 3 Link to comment

It is not impossible for Robyn and Kody to have recorded their outside talk in Episode 4 of this season a month or so after Garrison's death, and then convinced production (always looking for an interesting plot line) to insert it in this episode. This could have the result of having people think that Kody was softening in his resolve (at Robyn's recommendation) and trying to make amends with his older kids. I just want to note, Kody and Robyn didn't film that scene. Look at it. The camera moves from Kody to Robyn and back again. It's professionally shot. I mention that, because if it was all a contrivance to make Kody and Robyn look less bad, production was fully in on that contrivance.

goofygirl October 21 Share October 21 I've noticed since Garrison's death, that the pictures of the family they show are without him in them at all. It's like they're trying to disappear him or something. Weird. I LOL'd at the Douchecanoe saying to the camera last night "It's YOUR fault I didn't love you!" about Meri. He also seemed to say that when he DOES love a woman, that it's HER fault he loves her. So there ya go. He has NO responsibility for his own ridiculous thoughts and actions. He's a hopeless fool. Can't say I'm sorry that Sobbyn has him all to herself these days! 9 2 2 Link to comment

This hasn't really been a Let's Get Our Subjects In The Most Humiliating Situations Possible kind of reality show. I fully expect that if they had footage of Garrison and the Browns asked them not to use it, that they would comply. I'm sure the producers and crew were heartbroken at Garrison's passing. They've known him, in person, since he was a little boy. 15 Link to comment

taragel October 23 Share October 23 i wonder why this is the season where they're finally going to fast forward and catch up to reality (Janelle has said as much in interviews, that you'll see the whole Taeda Farms saga on this season's run and I believe I read Garrison's passing will be addressed). I assumed it was because it was maybe too difficult to not explain/reference what happened to Garrison for another two years (or whatever the lag would normally be) but if they aren't mentioning him anyway and cutting him out of shots that he could or would've been in since they're all supposedly from back in 2022...? I don't know. Do you think this could be the end of Sister Wives? Supposedly the main Puddle Monkey producer has also left the show. I imagine the ratings are actually quite good and am not sure why they'd wrap it up now...even if the premise/central conceit is no longer valid. 1 4 Link to comment
LilyD October 23 Share October 23 Maybe because they have had too much publicity over the past few years through social media and other sources? (The multiple "divorces", Garrison's death, several kids finally opening up, Christine spilling all the beans on SM) Even people who are less committed to the show know about these things, making the "reality" aspect of the show less convincing if they don't catch up. And I do think this is the beginning of the end. There are no more sister wives, there's no polygamy, kids have distanced themselves. What's left is 1 unhappy couple and 3 middle aged women trying to build a new life. A spin off might be in the cards, though I'm not sure I'd watch that. 4 1 Link to comment

If you run one of those online calculators that tells you how much mortgage you can qualify for based on your income, he'd need to have an income of $600,000 a year to qualify for a loan of $1,680,000.

Does it seem likely he and Robyn bring in $600,000 a year? If he also is paying off mortgages on other properties his income would likely have to be even higher to afford another mortgage outright - but not if he took out a bridge loan to buy the new house on one of the already owned properties such as the old "mansion". I posted this in the other thread - A bridge loan is kind of like an equity loan that you take out on an as-yet unsold property to finance a new one. The understanding is that the already-owned property has to be on the market to be able to do this. Then you can use the equity in the old property to put a down payment on the new one and get a mortgage on it, but the old property is collateral for that and as soon as you sell the old property the bridge loan has to be paid off. 2 6 Link to comment
LilyD October 26 Share October 26 (edited) I’ve done some hypothetical math and thinking, based on some of the numbers we know for sure and what has been mentioned (and may or may not be correct) We know he bought his old house for 890k. I read above they still have a mortgage of 667k, assuming this is correct and assuming he does manage to sell his house for anything close to the asking price, then he could still end up with 800-900k in profit. (He’d need a bridge loan though) They’ve apparently done a down payment of 420k, meaning they’d need a new mortgage of approximately 800-900k (2.1 million minus 420k minus 800 or 900k) They could then of course decide to sell (their share of) CP which would lower the necessary amount even more and bring it close to what he has as a mortgage now. So based on the above, he could have pulled it off. However…. That’s not taking into account any helocs or other loans they might have. It also doesn’t take into account Christine’s claim for Truely and that Kody was not supposed to sell any assets. I’m also ignoring the origins of the 420k. And lastly, it doesn’t take into account any claims Meri and Janelle have and the money they still owe on CP. I think it’s a bold and very risky move which could either work out perfectly for K&R or be their downfall. Edited October 26 by LilyD 4 2 1 Link to comment
Sasha888 October 26 Share October 26 I have some thoughts and questions about this new house thing that perhaps someone with more knowledge on the law/trusts/real estate/entertainment business than I have can help with. In other words, I'm suspicious about some of these things, but have no real idea if they are possible. - Are Robyn's over 18 kids paid for their appearances on the show? Could they be contributing financially, and that's why K& R have enough money for this house? - Is this the reason for the SADKRAB entertainment LLC? So they can monetize the adult kids appearances, and purchase things under this company or a similar trust? While keeping it separate from K & R's personal income, so that it can't be touched by any ex-wives? - Are the minor children able to "own" anything, like this new house, with their share of SADKRAB money, if they have any? Or are they underage and can't do that? - If the kids get a show income, and are part of the loan to get this new house, wouldn't that be a lot more income than just K&R alone could come up with? Is this how they got another mortgage while still owing money on the other home that hasn't even sold yet? I guess you can see what I'm getting at...are they hiding/sheltering money in some way and getting loans by trusting Robyn's adult kids, or even minor kids, to have their names on things. It would allow them to spend/show more income than just the two of them, and possibly keep money/assets away from the OG three by saying "but that's Dayton/Aurora/Breanna's money/house/company", etc. 1 5 Link to comment
Absolom October 26 Share October 26 (edited) I would guess the adult offspring could be paid if they participated. How many times the last two seasons have Aurora and Breanna had significant talking roles? Being seen in background I doubt is going to be compensated for any of them. Mykelti is likely being paid especially since they filmed at her house. She would get compensation for that, too. I wouldn't put any fancy accounting attempt past Kody and Robyn.
