SunnyBeBe Monday at 12:55 PM Share Monday at 12:55 PM I definitely saw how Kody and Robyn are really annoyed with each other. Lol He seems to be tired of having to keep apologizing. She does keep repeating how disappointed she is. That can’t do much for his ego. Though he professes how in love he is, he seems very frustrated. Who are those people Robyn points out as happy with plural marriage? Kody said he didn’t know any. I was a little surprised Kody admitted to losing his virginity in college before he got married. His hair looked straight back then. When did he begin getting perms? Good thing Robyn was wearing a helmet. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8547728

General Days Monday at 04:11 PM Share Monday at 04:11 PM It was weird how Robyn said, "Kody ran over and started yelling at me." He was wearing a mic. He did not yell at her. He didn't even do non-angry panicked/concerned yelling. He was quite soft-spoken and seemed hesitant at first. If Robyn wants a redemption arc, she ought to take an honest look at how much of her persecution complex she puts on display. It's so off-putting. This is the kind of victimhood nonsense Garrison, Gabriel, and Gwendlyn called out last season, in "Battle Lines Are Drawn." After she was up and moving, Kody did say to Robyn, "You've got to respect the course," which is classic Kody. He can never accept any iota of blame, and he was mostly responsible for that accident. The way he was headed straight for Robyn, Kody left her no choice but to drive off-course. There's a metaphor for the OG3 marriages, right there. I don't think the accident it was faked. TLC teased it too far ahead of this episode though, which made it feel like it we were going to get a bigger event than we did. The way Robyn fell — she's lucky she didn't break her neck. I think the crew was just filming some B-roll footage, and got "lucky" that something more exciting happened than Kody peeling logs, or random Browns driving in circles (another metaphor!). 16 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8547819
islandgal140 Monday at 04:59 PM Share Monday at 04:59 PM (edited) I don't think that accident was fake. She really went flying off that thing and was lucky she didn't break something. Kody will never be mistaken for an EMT. Goodness! I found their conversation afterwards interesting but there was a LOT of word salad there. Hmm. .. interesting that Kody admitted that he has threatened Robyn with leaving. It sounded like it happened more than once, but again.. word salad. Goodness I hate saying this but Robyn's point was a valid one - he is either crazy or rewriting history over the "I never loved the OG3" thing. This didn't last too long, because in the same episode she said: "I noticed Kody changing. Meri, Janelle, Christine all changed but I didn't change!" Typical Robyn. Did Robyn call the children of the OG3 that moved away not part of the core family? I am gonna need a bath after writing this but part of me can also understands Kody's "I never really knew love until Robyn" bit. It is that whole love vs in love distinction. However, the problem is and was Kody and whatever personality disorder he has. The way he went about things was nothing short of psycho coco puffs insane. It all boils down to his synopsis of: if I love you that is your fault; if I don't love you that is also your fault. He takes no ownership for anything but loves to throw around that the OG3 and their kids never any accountability for anything, which drives me crazy!! Kody is a petty ass bitch for asking for his t-shirts back. And they aren't even t-shirts anymore. Just pieces of shirts that can't even be worn. More shit to add to the Brown estate garage I guess! I watch too many reality shows, did anyone else think of RHONJ when Avalon went missing? My immediate thought was, "you left your child unattended?!?" LOL! If that was real and not a set up for drama, Mykelti and Tony need to do better. Are we really gonna be subjected to that wedding again next episode? Christine's daughters have that 'great hair' gene.

It sounded like it happened more than once, but again.. word salad. Yes. I found it especially interesting that Robyn seemed (acted?) surprised when Kody said he'd threatened to leave her. I think Kody chose a narrative du jour but forgot to clue her in. When Robyn said couples fall in and out of love, Kody said, "Yeah for 15 minutes, I can be mad enough at you to think I could leave." Robyn looked legitimately hurt, not just "fake Crybrows hurt." The devastated look on her face said, "And there it is. I knew it." He then said she'd caught him verbalizing that during a couple of hard times, and he wished he hadn't done so. Robyn sounded like that was brand new news to her when she asked, "You were mad at me?" When he claimed that he was just mad at the situation, Robyn asked, "Why would leaving me have something to do with that?" When she tried to get him to clarify, it stumped him for a moment, and then he acted like he was (only) talking about him and Janelle. I think she didn't buy his deflection, but decided to let it lie. 5 hours ago, SunnyBeBe said: His hair looked straight back then. When did he begin getting perms? I don't think he has a perm. My daughter and I have a similar hair type (but not style!!!). When it's short, the curl is less obvious. If we chopped off our hair, we could duplicate his old photo hair (with a better hairline). When it's long, we can either make it curly, or comb it out/blow dry it so it's not.

Roslyn Monday at 06:56 PM Share Monday at 06:56 PM What in the sam hell people! I have watched this show for 14 years. I used to regularly RE watch the show and I would have sworn that Kody stated early on that he did NOT go to college. He has stated that his father kicked him out at 18 with $50 and that he did his two year mission. Now he is spewing that he didn't respect his "purity" so that means that poor Meri kept herself a good girl and ended up with "used goods" when she married. Did he tell her this before they got married ? Going with the theory of "every statement is a confession". Back when Kody was raging about Gabe and Garrison living with Janelle and not following his covid demands because they "wanted to get their pencil wet" was him admitting that was something he prioritized over his pure LDS beliefs. I am going to make a blanket statement. But something popped into my head as Kody and Meri talked about their early years. It got me wondering if the reason Meri did not get pregnant wasn't so much as "unknown infertility reasons" but that they didn't "do what you need to do to get pregnant often enough" or if it was more that Kody purposefully sabotaged it in some way even if it was as simple as only having sex in certain windows in the fertility cycle. While he did not even hint at such a thing, we are learning that Kody has been a mean and petty little man from the very very beginning. And for what ever reason he has saved his most cruel pettiness for Meri. 10 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8547905

Does he want to wear them again? Why doesn't she just mail the whole quilt? A t-shirt quilt consists of cut up t-shirts. For example- part of the front where a logo or wording is. The quilter cuts a square or rectangle out of the shirt. Then irons that to a stabilizer fabric to keep it from stretching. The rest of the t-shirt is thrown away Then fabric goes around the shirts to make the top of the quilt. Batting and backing are stitched to the top. The reason Meri didn’t send the entire quilt to Kody is that some of the cut up t-shirts were hers. The only way to give Kody back his t-shirts were to do what she did-but I would have left the backing on them after cutting and sent that rather than take all the stitching out just to give him the tops Edited Tuesday at 01:06 AM by mythoughtis 6 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8548169

She seemed to dive & roll off the ATV before it even started to tip. Since we've known Robyn for being a couch sitter, not a wild ATVer, I suspect it was a stunt rider on the ATV, with the camera cutting away and returning to Robyn after she changed places with the stuntperson. I suspect it was staged since R&K have such a boring life and there was time to fill. Next week they are back to amateur tree felling. "Lost" Avalon Toyota Padron also seemed to be set up drama. Christine earlier said she was worried about the kids with the fast-flowing river right there, so why didn't she set a plan for each tender to have a dedicated watcher? People running in circles in view of the camera checking where they just saw someone else look seemed very fake. Grandma Padron was watching her the entire time. Seemed like both dramas were just time fillers since they didn't change anything. 14 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8548436

EtheltoTillie Tuesday at 10:54 AM Share Tuesday at 10:54 AM Kody looked particularly unhinged while talking to Robyn. He reminded me of Jere Burns, who always plays unhinged. Burns was recently on an episode of FBI and I commented there that he looked unhinged. Kody is now his doppelgänger. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8548488

Absolutely, she will - that's probably why Kody wanted his shirts back. Because there's absolutely nothing creepy at all about making a quilt of shirts from a 7-year old and an 18-year old since they've been together since Day One and all. Regarding the title of this episode, were we supposed to Weep or Laugh when Kody talked about his college "lover?" And who uses the word "lover" for a college tryst? Also, raise your hand if you looked around in sheer panic for something to throw at your TV when Kody started up about losing his virginity? Come to think of it, I think I did both weep and laugh during that segment. Also, Kody - Europe called, they are full up right now and don't have room for you, Robyn and the Tenders. But honestly, there we have it - Kody's solution for when things get rough is to pick up and move. He's such a buffoon - if it hasn't worked for the past 30+ years, why would it work now? And how do the few remaining non-Robyn kids who might still be occasionally speaking to him feel about their dad wanting to move so far away that visits would be nearly impossible? Honestly, maybe it would be better for everyone if he did move to another continent - maybe his kids would feel more peace if they knew that he actually couldn't visit them due to distance, instead of knowing he could visit but chooses not to. I loved the conversation between Kody and Robyn after they nearly drove into one another (which I have heard is actually NOT a good idea when driving 4-wheelers around uneven terrain): Kody: When we look into one another's eyes, I can see into your soul and I can read your mind. I can see your brain and also your heart and your pancreas. Robyn: So - do you think Janelle will move to Coyote Pass with us? Kody: Who? Oh - nope. That ship has sailed. I don't love her. I never loved her. Robyn: Yes you did. You're rewriting history. Also please stop staring at me without blinking. Kody: Ok, look - I never didn't ever not love her but I never didn't ever not want to not love her. So can you drop it? Robyn: So you're saying there's a chance? Kody: ........................... I think the issue is that those two have not been practicing their dialogues prior to filming lately - what with Robyn being so busy deciding where she'll allow her two 20-something daughters to travel unattended - but they're both talking in circles, talking around each other, and twisting each other's words to the point that I don't believe either one of them know what is going on anymore, and I am here for it. Also Christine is getting married. Not sure if anyone here knew that.

Auntie Freeze Tuesday at 02:40 PM Share Tuesday at 02:40 PM I don't know that Robyn personally will do the quilting. I could see an episode where she gets AuroraBreanna to teach Ari how to quilt and adding bits of their clothes too.

Why doesn't she just mail the whole quilt? Why is poor Jen being forced to spend the day cutting them out? Is she Meri's paid friend/companion? Why can Meri not shut up about Kody for five minutes? If she didn't want anything of Kody's, why did she move that big tub with the quilt in it Parowan? So many questions... I guess the same reason, engaged (if you haven't heard yet: spoiler alert) about to be married Christine can't shut up about him. It really is getting exasperating and I almost feel sorry for David. Even at their own pre-wedding stuff, he has to hear about Kody and luggage racks. Can't even sit down with Christine to eat nachos without a comparison being made. Granted, he comes off looking like a knight in shining armor and he must know on some level this is required for the show, but jeez, he must be tired hearing about that noodle headed fool. With regards to the t-shirt thing, strikes me that Kody is still getting his 20 years of revenge even post double divorce, but Meri is still too stuck in pick me mode to realize it. What is that if not petty, mean and vindictive?!?! I will stand ten toes down on the theory that Kody misses all the drama, the triangulation and the ego boost of all those women vying for his attention. He needed a fix, so he invented the t-shirt bullshit. I would be pissed not only to have to do that shit, but to pay postage to send a hand full of rags to that a-hole is going beyond the pale and adding insult to injury. Is it still possible to send things postage due? 15 hours ago, Elizzikra said: Robyn only has one adult boy. I think girls stay home until they marry and live with their husbands.

General Days Tuesday at 05:48 PM Share Tuesday at 05:48 PM I don't think there was a stunt performer. Sister Wives is a bare bones production. They don't have a big budget or all that big of a crew. Stunt performers are part of the SAG-AFTRA union, and union regs. require productions using stunt performers to also hire a stunt coordinator. Besides, there was no real drama, from a fall which was over soon enough. The real Kody/Robyn drama of the episode was their tense discussion. There was no payoff from the fall itself. If the production were to script a stunt scene, and pay for stunt performers and supervision, they would milk it for all it is worth. Robyn would have been brought to a hospital, where they could have heaved a sigh of relief at her clean bill of health (after Kody bitched to the camera about rolling an ankle — or something else as serious as his 99ºF "death's door" Covid fever — when he ran to "save" her). Also though, stunts are risky, even when performed by professionals. Every stunt runs the risk of failure, and failure can result in injury and even death. Imagine if a stunt performer was injured while faking a scene for a "reality" TV show. That news would get out, and it would hurt the production company's reputation, and the network's. Too much risk for too little reward. If they wanted to contrive drama, there are cheaper, safer ways to do so. For instance, they could talk Robyn into faking throwing Kody out of the house for a few weeks, at no additional expense or risk of injury or exposure. I'm not saying the Browns (or even Puddle Monkey) are above it. I'm saying I don't think they have the budget, and I don't think production milked enough payoff out of the moment for it to have been contrived. I think Kody and Robyn were just reckless, stupid, and lucky, which is so on brand for the Browns. 9 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151318-s1916-a-time-to-weep-a-time-to-laugh/#findComment-8548678
