S19.16: A Time to Weep, A Time to Laugh

[EtheltoTillie]

I have always found Kody's handwringing, pearl-clutching obsession with purity to be absurd.  Someone really did a number on his brain somewhere along the line.  I really want to know more about this college affair.

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). 

This I whole heartedly agree with. They would have made a full 8 course meal out of it if it was a stunt. They could have taken her to their faithful family doctor the chiropractor at the reputable Snap, Crackle and Pop Center for Chiropractic Care where the family gets all their essential oils and tinctures. 

I was blessedly shocked how quickly it was over.

Maybe not Europe, but how about he and Robyn third honeymoon somewhere with really strict gun laws? You know the dummy would travel with ammo either accidentally or because other countries' laws don't apply to him. 

We can watch him get detained, get a lawyer, sweat out a possible prison sentence and pay a huge fine.

Works for me...

That wasn't even a quilt. It was scraps of fabric basted to a piece of material. The edges weren't finished and removing the basting stitches should have taken five minutes. It was an insult to real quilters to even call it a quilt. She probably had the tee shirts for years and basted it together for a storyline. I'm not a quilter but I can sew and I was insulted.

[precious pupp]

I read on another site that a poster thought Meri should have used Kody's squares as TP before sending them back to him!  😛

yes, to Europe!!!!  Floating a new idea to TLC perhaps?

 

LOL Let's see... Coyote Pass or Europe. I'd take Europe but TLC probably won't pay for it. 

However he might vacation for a week. We can anticipate when Kody visits Stonehenge. He calls Meri and says he's discovered Stonehenge and asks if she's ever heard of it.

The only clip I don't get tired of seeing is when Kody is mad that the OG3 wives and their kids dare to be a family without him, dare to live on without him, and dare to have kicked him out. Don't they know they are supposed to revolve around him? 

Then there's the clip of Janelle talking about how it's not a question of whether Kody brings Robyn with him to any family functions. It's that Kody isn't wanted at any of those family events. He's alienated 95% of his offspring. I'm really liking bad-ass Janelle and her I'm-going-truth-on-Kody's-ass. 

Meri, it's not about the quilt! It's a power-move and Kody wants to control you yet again. I would have invited Jen and friends over and had a celebratory weenie roast so TLC could film the demise of Kody's quilt and memories. 

Love the contrast of stories. Christine and David are celebrating the joyous life ahead of them. Kody and Robyn are doom and gloom over their failed everything. And, Robyn get the news that Kody might have left Robyn. 

[Kellyee]

The best part of this entire episode was the shot of Kody's hair after Robyn's accident. It's looking pretty sparse on top of Kody's head. 

Other than that, I have no interest in the bullshit scripted discussion between Kody and Robyn or having to watch Christine's wedding AGAIN after they already did a 2-part special on Christine's wedding that I didn't watch. 

Watching Meri burn those t-shirt squares would have been super entertaining.

Kody just cannot handle not being pined over or being out of someone's life.  Even tho he pushes them out.  

[UsernameFatigue]

Hmmm, is this the first time we have heard that Kody told Meri when they moved to Las Vegas that she had been mean to him for 20 years, and she would have to spend the next 20 years making it up to him for him to have a relationship with her?  First I have heard of it, anyway. So another example of how the Browns have lied to viewers for years (that would have been in 2011) about the real state of their relationships. At this point, the show appears to have been for years (if not all of its years) a fictional show, not reality TV. 

I wanted to thank Kody though for asking Robin to finally drop the convos about his relationships with the first three wives. Yes Robin, he has said that he never loved them. Yes Robin, he has said he did love them. We get it, and we don't care. Kody flip flops. Nothing new.  I did love though that Kody admitted that Janelle has treated him the way he treated Meri.

I loved Christine saying that David gives Truely compliments all the time. Who knows if she has ever had one from her bio dad. 

I chuckled when Christine pointed out the place where David proposed, Hell's Revenge. I think it should be renamed Christine's Revenge. All the ex wives are looking much better than when they were with Kody, and Kody looks every bit, if not older, than his soon to be 56 years. 

[Jeanne222]

Stunt driver on the ATV for sure.  Looked like a younger fellow crashing!  That was really dumb!

Christine is acting so stupid. She thinks the show revolves around her and her dreams.   Watching David I have to wonder if he's wondering what the heck he got himself into! Tell us what you really think Janelle.

I think the show is trying to settle into more storylines with Kody and Robyn and their family but...they ain't got much to work with!

Yes! She said she & Kody wanted to focus on "the family" and that Janelle & Christine were focusing on the "kids who moved away" - as if they are not a part of the family! 

And Kody said the 18+ yr old boys should move out; they did and he ejected them from the family!

The thought of Kody sobbing in his dorm room after he lost his virginity makes me chuckle every time.

He probably got a bad review.

I love the weenie roast idea, with Meri, Jen and friends dressed in flowy, gauzy layers of clothing, waving sage sticks around a roaring bonfire and chanting whatever incantations are useful for ridding Meri of Kody's cooties...as opposed to carefully snipping individual stitches from an old quilt in order to mail Kody back his shirts with minimal damage.  Come on, Meri - the man told you he wouldn't even consider repairing your relationship until you're both in your 60's.  Next time he asks for something back, send him a video of you lighting it on fire.

And Robyn can't handle not being the envied favorite wife anymore.  Without outsiders gazing with longing at Kody and Robyn's relationship, these two don't really have a foundation - except that Kody seems to still really be into Robyn, but she seems freaked out by his laser-beam attention.  Hahahahaha!

I don't know what to think about the ATV accident, but if it really was Robyn flying off the bike and she said that her head and neck hurt, why the heck would Kody be all, "okay, let's go watch the sunset and have a deeply unsettling conversation about the state of our relationship?"  Wouldn't he have wanted to settle his delicate queen in bed amongst her pillows and wait on her hand and foot until she was all better?  I mean, this is the man who wanted to check himself into the hospital and perform his own chest x-ray just to be near Robyn when she had Covid.  Something's off.

Meri's malicious compliance kind of tickled me.  I think in Kody's delusional brain he thought he would be getting the shirts back...instead he is getting a square.  I'm kind of that mindset myself - if I have an ex I return every single bit of property that I can - kind of wiping their existence out of my life.  If she had burned the shirts that would have given Kody more ammunition to use against her in his rants.  Instead she calmly is just sending them back.  What cracks me up is his assumption that his other wives would have wanted them at some point.  I would love to hear from Christine and Janelle whether it even crossed their minds.

[laurakaye]

I forgot about that - whose fault is it that Meri was the only recipient of Kody's nasty old t-shirts?  He could have distributed them amongst his women, assuming anyone else wanted them.  Meri also told us that the quilt was Kody's idea and I believe her - it seems like a vanity project right up Kody's alley.

I am also loving each episode's "project" between Meri and whatever friend is hanging around.  Pretty soon she's going to make them walk around the BnB with a black Sharpie, crossing out any label, book or painting that contains the letter "K" and I am here for it.

Meri's storyline is boring just like her!  Those fake friends are hanging around due to the checks they are receiving!  Once they are no longer needed and the paycheck disappears they will be gone too!

[GeorgiaRai]

I wish Meri had sent Kody & Robyn the whole dang quilt!  Show them she doesn't want to keep ANY of it, and let them do the cutting and ripping and destroying of what once was.  So symbolic!  

[surfgirl]

She probably complied bc she is still trying to play nice so she gets as much as she can from Coyote Piss.

I thought of that, but it seems more dismissive to send him all of it.  As in...none of this means enough to me to keep.  I think he didn't want the shirt scraps nearly as much as he wanted her to go through the process of taking the thing apart, thinking it would hurt her.

Because he is a dick

[Denize]

just the roughly cut out squares of his old tee shirts would be cheaper to mail than the whole quilt.

I would have sent that bastard the whole quilt. Let him be the dickhead who cuts it apart. Or let's see if Sobbyn does it for him or tells him what a dick he is. But first I'd offer it to our child if they wanted it.

[Absolom]

I still say lie and tell him I threw it out ten/twenty years ago when you were done with me.  Then immediately go burn it.

[Ms.Lulu]

I would have either donated the quilt to a thrift shop or sold it on eBay after swiping out any of my squares I wanted to keep with thrift store tee squares.

[Orcinus orca]

There are umpteen different ways the quilt plot could have gone.  But the bottom line is that Meri still loves Kootie and will do anything he asks. If he reversed course and asked her to come live in the mega-mansion, I'd bet the farm that she would do it.

Edited Yest. at 03:16 PM by Orcinus orca

[65mickey]

I believe you are right about this. If it were me I would have told him remember that ring that I gave you and asked for it back when you stopped wearing it? You told me that you had it melted down? Well guess what i did to that quilt? Burned it. 

[laurakaye]

I don't know, maybe it's part of Meri's catharsis to destroy the things she has with Kody in a deliberate way, like carefully breaking apart a sign she could've just tossed, or taking scissors and making her friend cut one stitch at a time from a quilt, etc..  After all, Meri stuck with this loser for two decades of being told she was nothing more than a barnacle stuck to his a$$ and yet, she didn't leave.  It's also just more manipulation on Kody's part to even ask Meri to send him his part of the quilt, because in Meri's mind it probably proves that Kody is still sentimental about their time together, even when he's just playing with her.

Meri drives me nuts, but she's also disentangling herself from two people who have done Doctorate-level course work in keeping her on the hook with whatever bread crumbs they felt like tossing her.  And if Kody ever did beckon her back with a toss of his ringlets, hopefully Meri's friends would intervene and stop her from making another horrible mistake.

That said, I really do think there might come a time when Kody needs a distraction from his life and finds himself on the road to Parowan...if it does happen, I just hope Meri can be strong enough to slam the door in his face.

Precisely.  She had a friend do it.  She couldn't bring herself to physically cut him out of her life, even now.  I don't think she is doing all that much disentangling on the off chance he suddenly sees the light.

[TexasTiffany]

I saw the clip where Kody is worried about his ringlets yet again. Really? Ex wives, alienated children, but Kody's priorities have him focused on his hair. 

Meri needs a new guy in her life. Forget old stale leftover Kody and his controlling manipulative ways. With someone new, I'd hope she'd get out of the constant loop of reliving every horrible thing Kody put her through. 

Meri, "I'm married once but divorced twice". Followed by inappropriate giggles. Same when Kody named Meri his "Favorite ex-wife". More inappropriate giggles.  Jenn needs to step in, give Meri a hug and tell her it's not okay how Kody treats her.

After an accident like that Kody should not have been yanking off her helmet and manipulating her head and neck. What an idiot. Didn't he say something about airlifting her to the hospital? It would not surprise me if the whole thing was fake

Said by Dr. Kody. Well let's see if you can twist it around a few times after I yank off the helmet. That way we will know if your neck is broken. Either she got damn lucky that Kody didn't injure her or she had already been checked out by EMS and they determined that she was not injured. Then they filmed the scene with Kody acting like he was qualified to assess Robyn's condition. 

[smarty]

In the scene where Kody and Robyn are talking after Robyn crashed her ATV, Robyn is wearing a big chunky horse ring that appears to match Kody's new horse wedding ring.  Two episodes ago Robyn was wearing the rock that Kody so proudly had her display (to ward off the men at church).  Does it seem this was an out of place segment or does Robyn switch out her rings for some reason?
