Season 19 Live Chat

[General Days]

I thought this was a pretty interesting episode as far as this season goes. I would like some plain talk about what percentage of the property each Brown parent funded.

I would also have liked to shake some sense into Meri, in the scenes where she was talking to Kody and Robyn about the property. She was far too deferential. Her nervous laugh was working overtime. I wish Jenn went with her, whenever she had to meet with them (or even just him).

Yes! That is what Meri needs going forward. To have a strong voice of reason beside her to see through Kody's doublespeak, wishy washy plans and crazy thinking.

That was the old Meri coming out - manipulative and bitchy.  Janelle was trying to look out for her, and she throws her right under the bus.

And yes, Meri acts all empowered in her talking heads, but she always gets all giggly in front of Kody and acquiesces.

Kody doesn’t want to get the land appraised because it’s too messy?  Too emotional?  He’s totally scamming the wives.  How can they be so dim?  And why is the money Janelle and Meri put in to Robyn & Kody’s mansion never brought up?!

Oh, I think Janelle was right in on screwing Meri out of land, until Janelle realized she too might get screwed out of land.

All of a sudden, this season, Janelle started talking about how the family has been unfair to Meri for a long time, like Janelle wasn't a part of that.

How did Janelle screw Meri over the land?  Seems to me that Kody was the only one that controlled everything re: Coyote Pass.  Especially the deeds.

Janelle didn’t think she or Meri would get screwed by Kody on the land … until Kody kept evading  her when she wanted to discuss the land and paying  it off.  So I don’t see any issue with her talking to Meri. 
 

Please elaborate on how you think Janelle has been unfair to Meri?  Beyond the fact that she became Kody’s 2nd wife, that is.  She’s never denied that they don’t get along … but that’s not the same as being unfair  to her.    What has Janelle done to cheat Meri out of  something?  Janelle bought the house in Lehi  and added Kody and Meri’s name to it.

Oh jeez these girls don’t need to tell her Kody will miss her and have regrets. Don’t pull her back!

[General Days]

Yeah. I don't think her friends want Meri back with Kody, but they've got to find ways to support her, without taking Meri to a place where she thinks he retains any sort of feeling that could be reignited.

What a big entourage to pick out Christine's dress!

Maddie flew in from NC? She didn't make it to Gwendlyn's wedding, but flew out to dress shop with Christine?

[lgprimes]

Where’s  Truely?

Yes, that is quite the crowd. Just maybe Truely didn't want to be in that crowd of people.

I think Maddie was having the new baby during Gwens shower. She has the baby in a carrier now for the wedding dress shopping.

Yeah Meri's friends are trying really hard to support her, but I'm not getting happy vibes from any of their conversation. It feels very stilted/strained.

No, I mean Gwendlyn's actual wedding, not the engagement party (it wasn't a shower — I don't know why Janelle kept calling it one, someone else did too, I think).

Maddie didn't go to Gwendlyn and Bea's wedding in July of 2023. I figured she could only swing one trip, and saved it for Christine and David's wedding in October of 2023, but I think it's a little weird that she could also fly in for Christine's dress shopping. That is, I'd have been hurt if my sister could fly across country for dress shopping, but not my wedding.

[mythoughtis]

I hated Christine’s dress at the wedding… and I hate all the ones she’s trying on. 

[65mickey]

Well basically the most important thing to Christine was that the dress have a deep plunge so her boobs would be on display. 

[Gramto6]

Sorry if I got the events confused @General Days! I can't keep up with the whole twisted time frame as presented on screen... my bad... I basically throw my hands up and say whatever!   Then finally through discussions here I piece the timeframe together better.

But not, thankfully, her vagina. God bless Mykelti for calling that out.

Robyn-lay off your kids / they don’t want to be polygamists. They are both adults- they don’t need your permission to go to church,  nor do they need you picking one out for them.  How do these two manage to pick out their own clothes every day?

Caleb seems pretty traditional. Not sure about Maddie. I hope she didn’t skip Gwen’s wedding because of some anti-homosexual sentiment.

And why do they look like it’s physically painful for them to speak? WTF.

I think we're seeing the set up for Kody and Robyn's crew to convert. I might be wrong. Goodness knows, it wouldn't be the first time, but I've felt this coming for a long time.

These are old posts from other threads.

Honestly, I think we're going to see Kody come out as a (non-Mormon) Christian this season or next, and he will reveal that he wanted out of all the non-Robyn marriages (yes, in part to soothe his ego). I don't think we're going to get much more of fundamentalist Mormon polygamy from Kody Brown.

On the podcast, did Kody talk at all about where he and Robyn are now, religiously speaking?

I've been wondering if maybe he's left Mormonism altogether — perhaps for some sort of evangelical church or something.

 

It was how he pushed the OG3 away, instead of trying to placate them, that made me feel that way.

Unfortunately, she was there for that R-rated cake tasting talk.

Maddie came with just the baby for the dress shopping, right?  Was Savannah at home in NC with the other kids since Caleb works? And Maddie came  with Caleb and all the kids for  Christine’s wedding? 
 

Is it possible that Maddie couldn’t  come because she didn’t have anyone to watch the kids since Caleb works?

Sure. It seems to me that Gwendlyn explained it at the time, as a budget issue for Maddie.

Then again, Gwendlyn didn't end up going to Christine's wedding, so I guess I shouldn't be feeling too bad for her. 

[EtheltoTillie]

Gee kind of cheesy for Robyn to revisit how special it is for buying a wedding dress because she had special treatment. They contrasted Christine’s ugly, ill-fitting shmatta with Robyn’s beautiful dress. 

[Andyourlittledog2]

Someone here once posted a video of a girl going down the list of weirdly spelled Mormon names and it was hilarious. It was in response to the names Christine gave her kids.  But I can't find it anymore. Does anyone have that they can post again?  I saw that Meri's friends were named Andreah and Hillaree and immediately that old video came to mind.Thanks if you have it - I wanted to share it with someone.

Beef broth dipping sauce with tacos?

[albarino]

And we're watching it!

[lgprimes]

What no-frills fast food restaurant are they meeting at for this engagement party??

[Gramto6]

Truely looks happy between them at the cake cutting !

I think it is some sort of Mexican restaurant.  I forgot what the name said out front.

[Chris Knight]

Hunter is so cute !

[lgprimes]

Yes I agree Truely does look comfortable and happy, which is really nice.

[mythoughtis]

How many episodes  is Meri going to discuss her break-up? But then again, Christine’s break-up was an entire season. While Janelle just calmly goes on with life

[Yeah No]

I did not like the way Janelle's dress looked on her.

[mythoughtis]

We did not hear the girls ask Robyn to go to church with them last week.  Did we?  Nor do they need Kody’s permission. 

Edited December 16 by mythoughtis

[Yeah No]

That's an engagement party? A buffet next door to the Big Lots? LOL

[Chris Knight]

Robyn uses "kind of" and "sort of" so much. Huge pet peave of mine. Lots of people use this conversation filler, not just Robyn. So annoying. 

[Gramto6]

Kody wants them to go to the Church of Kody! Worship, obey and follow him everywhere!! 🤮

It's way more than she had before! This is a treat for her, sadly.

No, II don't think so. They wanted to find a church. I think they were just looking for suggestions.

She's in that "anywhere you are is great" phase with him.

[Chris Knight]

The church talk on the date, when Kody talks about his kids, I assume he means Robyn's kids only.

 

Zzzzzzz....this is really boring so far.

[Julyolo]

I am not getting why two college aged women would be needing to discuss religious choices with their mom unless they were planning on filming some sort of reality show in the future. Especially when the religious "choices" their mother made haven't gone very well. BTW, anyone know whatever happened to Dayton-A?

[Gramto6]

OMG. "Thank you for your service!" I about fell out of my chair. That Brandi is a quick wit!

[General Days]

I'm a little behind. I'm just struck by the fact that David has never shared food before — even though he has eight kids.

[Chris Knight]

I feel like Robyn  - i don't understand this religion discussion. 

[Yeah No]

What a sucker Meri is and was. She really believed him that their legal divorce wasn't a spiritual divorce. It was, he just didn't want to admit it.

[Gramto6]

This little restaurant they are having all the deep discussion meals is sure a tiny hole in the wall. Looks like someone's attic made over as a "fine dining" fake look alike.

So far a big yawn, no action, well except for Christine cutting cake, all yapping....

[Denize]

Truely dancing with her step niece & nephew was cute.

The dream date with Charles Manson?  Ugh!

At least it was a sit-down taco joint. I wonder how it compared to the taco truck's 400 tacos at Tony & Mykelti's wedding?

I feel bad for Meri, and I get why she needed him to tell her it was over to her face, but I don't get why she didn't know it was over, inside (or maybe didn't let herself know it was over).

When your husband has two other wives, and gets them Christmas presents, but doesn't get anything for you, he is telling you he doesn't love you. (This was way before Robyn.)

When he melts down the wedding ring you gave him, it's more than that he doesn't love you. He is telling you how much contempt he has for you and your union. (Robyn was on the scene by then, but not married to Kody.)

[Julyolo]

Okay. So now it seems Robyn doesn't want the daughters to go to church for the sake of only seeking attractive men. Further conversation reveals the self-righteous hypocrites Robyn and Kody originally started out eyeballing each other in a church. Children live what they learn folks.
