Wasn’t that fascinating 🤨 

[sassi214]

When Sister Wives came onto our TVs, Kody was extremely adamant that the Brown family wasn't like other polygamist families. He wasn't a patriarch, that each wife had autonomy, independence and a voice. 

However, he turned out to be EXACTLY like any other polygamist. 

He took money from his wives, and did sneaky financial things. He kissed and courted another (younger) woman and gave her stance in the family over every other wife. 

He withdrew all affection from each wife over time, alienated them from the family proper. Abandoned them while still taking their money and making shady financial decisions. And then wouldn't leave them, made them leave despite not loving them. 

Finally he verbally shits all over them on TV, is estranged from all of their kids together and continues to lie about the family as a whole. 

He is the worst of the worst. 

Also Robyn's bio dad doesn't exist in her world anymore? Likely why she put her own kid's bio dad away as soon as she could. 

There is NO DOUBT in my mind that they moved to Vegas because Robyn's family was there. Also her stepdad marrying her mom and the two families NEVER ever living close to each other?? She never knew was polygamy was and how to work for the good of one family. It was always a competition to her. 

She is gross.

I was a bit confused by the previews for next week. They called next week's episode the mid-season finale of SW? What the what? What does that even mean? Do they think they are The Walking Dead and doing mid-season breaks now?!? Am I misinterpreting that?

So true.  As long as the network is making sufficient money from the show, they don't have a lot of reason to cancel it.  That's especially true for networks like TLC.  It takes a lot of risk out of the equation.

[laurakaye]

But don't you know, Coyote Pass is where they have Happy Family Time!  Just look at the fun they're having painting picnic tables - well, except for Kody instantly getting mad that Ariabeeliobla is painting herself, that wacky kid!  And look at Brianne, chopping wood like a pro because Big Daddy showed her how to do it - as long as she doesn't do it better than him, because - well, then, hohoho, there will be trouble in the Mansion on the Hill, don'tcha know!  And where's young Sol?  Oh, he's off by himself on the shores of Plague Pond, quietly skipping stones and contemplating how many years he has before he can run away like his brother Day'un.  I mean, Norman Rockwell couldn't have created a better scenario than the Happy Brown Family.  So in addition to wanting to stick it to Meri and Janelle, Kody can't think of selling this land because of all the happy memories they are forcing performing creating on it.

Only to where it actually showed them DOING something. I thought Sobyn's girls were only capable of whining on the couch. And, Sobyn's eyebrows... they should be listed as cast members. I can't take my eyes off them. Perhaps she was able to get a template from Groucho Marx?

[surfgirl]

Why would one choose to paint picnic tables that live in a wilderness setting a hideous BLUE color that sticks out like, like, poorly drawn on eyebrows? A blight upon that land I say!

Did anyone else cringe the way Kotex showed Frowny Girl #1 how to handle an ax (good think it wasn't a pencil)? He allows the ax to fall with the tip in the wood (that sounds bad, I know, apologies) but most of the blade could slip and cut a person's leg off. WTAF?!? Does this stooge know anything about anything? I used to chop wood as a teenager and I do NOT remember sliding my hands up and down an axe as I swung it. NosirreeBob. It's like every single thing that guy does is made up in his frantic mind and he has the attention span of a gnat so I dare say he's never read a book or manual or how-to book on anything, he just wings it and he is a danger to others. Exhibit A: Day-Un's eye accident under his paternal watch.

I hope Janelle's and Meri's lawyers can get together and strengthen their case in a unified way, and get them at least 1/4 of that land's value each. TBH, they should split it three ways since it's not their fault K&R are the lone couple. They never should have agreed to have his name on anything. They should have had each parcel in one wife's name alone, with her children as beneficiaries, and once Christine relinquished her plot, the entire thing should have been reportioned into three plots, one per wife. IMO.

We are literally watching paint dry with Robyn/Kody family time. 

Kody acts like there are no parks in Flagstaff. He literally wants to maintain an expensive private park just so his monogamous family can skip rocks, split logs, roast weenies, paint tables and play a rousing game of 'catch me if you can' with the prairie dog plague. 

One of my biggest unexpected laughs this season? Businessman Kody thinking t-shirts would cheapen the "My Sisterwives closet" brand. As if the jewelry itself wasn't do that singlehandedly.

Having "the labor" paint the tops first and then turn them upside-down on their tops to paint underneath was buffoonery on steroids.  As were Kody's lessons on woodchopping. I'd start my kid off with a smaller axe and watch their form so I could suggest improvements and have them work up to a bigger axe on bigger logs.  Kodster just mimes how he does it, hands her the big axe and then turns away to do something else.  I was waiting for Robyn to scream STOP ... STOP. 

[CSunshine76]

Oh Christine, newsflash…women CAN and do buy things in their own names all the damn time. A lot of us are not and have never been dependent upon a man or others. What a sheltered life she has lived.

Also, David has to be sick and tired of hearing about and being compared to Kody. Move on already!!

The problem with a public park is that there are other people there and for Robyn and her hothouse flower children, that would be scary and not safe.  Those poor kids just wanted to play outside without all the other nonsense.  I wonder how often they get out of that hoarder house with the scary figurines and ugly paintings everywhere.

I was trying to wrap my head around the complaining about expecting people to knock before just barging into someone else's house.  Yes, I know they are all family and actually lived in one connected house at one time, but it just seems like common courtesy to me.  Christine complaining that there were too many rules at Robyn and Meri's houses seemed a little petty.  For Robyn, she had a point about people not emptying her refrigerator without asking, but she just had such a negative tone about it.  Putting a sign on the door was pretty passive aggressive.  And she also lied about the fact that they needed to wait for someone to let them in.  She claimed they needed to do an "announcement knock" whatever that is.  As for Meri, in Vegas her house was where they hosted all their MLM stuff so she had to keep it neat and in good condition.  Some of the kids were pretty feral, so if there were rules about running around and slamming doors and such, that makes sense.  Christine's Vegas house had a lot of damage from feral kids playing too rough.  

I hope Janelle and Meri get their fair share, but I don't have much confidence in that.  I have a feeling Kody doesn't want to sell the land because he wanted to use it as collateral to get the new larger house they have now.  I did roll my eyes at him describing that depressing day out on that barren plot of land with a few picnic tables and some logs to split as so special.  I hate to think what daily life is like in that house if that day was considered special.  Oh, and it is none of his business how many kids his daughters choose to have.  That was just creepy and invasive.  And next week, we see Aurora having to ask permission to get baptized.  When I made a public profession of faith around her age, I spoke to the pastor myself.  My parents weren't involved, but you know Robyn had to go with her and monopolize the conversation.

The one thing I will say about Christine moving stuff into the rental property is that without Kody running around acting the fool, people seem quite capable of getting things done.  There was a lot of stuff to do and it only took a few hours because everyone just did stuff without all the drama.

[TexasTiffany]

I was surprised to see that Kody didn't approve of t-shirts since he put such importance on getting those t-shirts back from Meri. I agree that Kody only wanted to squash Christine's idea. If it had come from Kody first it would have been golden. 

Kody said he wasn't trying to teach his kids how to properly take care of a picnic table, he was just using them for labor. We know, you air head. He's never cared about nurturing his kids. He's all about using them for the moment. 

[laurakaye]

Can we talk about Christine's rental house having a "shrimp room" and a "giraffe room?"  Actually, never mind - I pretty much doze off when Christine and David are on my screen. 

I do feel bad for Kody and Robyn's kids, especially Sol and Ari, who only get trotted out onscreen to play "pretend happy family time."  The fact that they have the weirdest body language when they're all onscreen together tells me that game night, picnics and simple discussions are not the norm in that house.  Sol has never, to my knowledge, looked comfortable around Kody - I am only speculating but he seems like a quiet, thoughtful kid and if Kody is the same babbling nutso at home that we see onscreen, they probably don't mesh well together.

The best thing about this episode was the flashback to Kody installing the tv at Janelle's house, flailing around like a doofus maniac for hours looking for the parts he needed, only to find that the parts were on the back of the tv the whole time.  If that doesn't encapsulate the personality of Kody Brown, then I don't know what does.

  

 

[mythoughtis]

Kody and the TV… why didn’t he just ask Logan what he did with the parts?  Or just leave it to Logan and Hunter to put back up? Like everything else. 

[EastCoast4Life]

Oh Kody, waxing philosophical about all the good times down by the drainage ditch, whilst the tenders chop wood and discuss their family planning. Meanwhile, Ari has become a naturalist! I burst out laughing when he said that. The kid is playing with a worm and Kody acts like she's just written her dissertation on earth worm farming. If Uncle Bob/Dad is looking down at those picnic tables, he's definitely asking why the heck they are that awful Smurf blue on steroids. 

Christine is lucky to have that army of helpers to move her stuff to her house in Moab. I know nothing about Moab, but it looks beautiful, and she has great reviews on her Air BNB site. David seems very supportive and level headed compared to the frantic ways in which Kody handles everything.

It doesn't seem like David is a partner in Christine's new project.  That's not how marriage works.

David's expected to do all the grunt work with no pay day!  

Maybe David gets to keep his TLC supporting actor paycheck!

If the mains get $6000 per episode I guess that's enough to just appear. Surely less exhausting than drywall!

Kody LOVES those types of projects.  Then he can just goof off all damn day while maintaining the illusion that he's actually working very hard on something important.  Same with him stringing lights over the cuddle-sac, or destroying innocent trees, or moving large cars into small trucks, etc. etc.  He is a professional time-waster.

OMG, I forgot about that, lol.  Does Kody ever actually listen to himself babble?  If Ari is so brilliant, why did she have to be told to remove her pile of dirt and earthworms from the table where the food was?

And I hate how, for 1/27th of a millisecond, I thought that Kody was being a decent human when he said he wasn't trying to screw over Meri and Janelle regarding Coyote Pass - until he said "I just don't want to deal with it."  Silly me, I totally know better.  I am ashamed.

Kody is exhausting to listen to on my tv for 20-ish minutes every Sunday.  I cannot imagine what it's like to live with him 24/7.

I know that it has been discussed in the past when they all lived in the same house that they were not allowed to walk through Meri's living room although it was the only interior way to get from one part of the house to the other - instead they had to go outdoors.  Perhaps that was part of the rules which were being referred to.  

David seems perfectly happy to let Christine have her independence - he strikes me as a very secure man who is truly enjoying watching his wife flourish.  I'm sure a lot of the comparisons to Kody are production driven, but since he always comes out on top in the comparison game I doubt that's a huge problem (and especially if he is getting fairly easy payout for it).  

I didn't hate the color of the picnic tables but they were a little glaring in that brown environment.  What a weird conversation they had!

He just wanted the pond drainage ditch because Meri and Janelle both thought it was cool.  When Kody was bro-ing down with Realtor Justin and they were looking at the "pond," it was a hill of dirt surrounded by a dusty moat.  How did he think he was going to keep fish alive in that?  Oh, wait -the cistern.  He was probably going to run Christine's water line into the ditch to keep it filled with muddy water 24/7.  And there's nothing like an unfenced pool of E. Coli to bring the grandchildren running to visit Grandpa Kody's house!  He's such a moron.

He also said he wanted to line it and fill it with fish.  Apparently he never read the restrictions on the land use since the Coconino National Forest runnoff retention pond is there to protect the road from washing out during Spring runoff flash floods (on Google maps you can see two bigger holding ponds with earthen dams called "Two Tanks" and "Le Barron Tank" up hill from Prairie Dog Poop "pond"). That parcel of land also has the 9008P regional gas pipeline that they have often parked along, ignoring the 'no parking' signs.  Both the "pond" and the gas pipeline would have restrictions on building anything nearby, at least 100'.

Trying to figure out where they are in time when the segments from this last episode were filmed. Meri made a comment it had been a year and a half since her "divorce" (which was January 2023 right?) so I'm guessing they are around June of 2024?  We must be past Garrison's death.  In last weeks episode with the realtor Justin the plague pond was empty, in this weeks episode the pond was full.  In any case, they were all wearing jeans not shorts, so maybe not prime summer yet?

I do not think that all the scenes relate to the same  time frame.  People say that Christine opened her Airbnb in March 2024- so those scenes were obviously prior to that. Who knows when the painting and cook-out scenes were filmed. And the talking head interviews are supposedly filmed during editing  shortly before the episode airs. 
 

I personally don’t think we are in 2024 yet.  I think the ‘mid-season finale’ will air, and then it will pick up again with a time frame at some point after Garrison’s death.

I don't know if whoever is naming these episodes is just having a giggle but I am over trying to puzzle out what they mean.  "Behold, I come like a thief?"  Does that refer to Kody, who is trying to screw his exes out of their share of property?  Is this Kody's sentiments about Meri and Janelle?  Or is it Robyn, thieving her adult kids of their independence?  The pond, stealing away Kody's dreams of skinny-dipping with his family by having the audacity to be empty of water?

Worse, the episode names have all been taken from the Bible.  Why?  It's not as if these people are religious anymore and even if they were, it seems at odds to use Bible verses to name episodes of a show where their religion has caused the complete deterioration of the family.

Sorry, I am just venting.  But call a spade a spade.  A more honest title of this episode could have been "Watching Paint Dry."

I couldn't understand why they were painting the tables bright blue. It might be an okay color if they were for a preschool or daycare playground, but not for that location.

If the only reason Kody wants to keep the land is to occasionally have picnics there, that's kind of dumb. As others have said, are there no parks in Flagstaff?

Of course then the kids might encounter other humans in these parks and not feel "safe."

Also, when they showed the flashbacks of Kody swimming in the retaining pond, couldn't someone get sick from that? There must be bacteria in the water.

This is one of the reasons I like David being a part of the show. TLC is giving us the comparison between real man David and Kody ass-hat faker. David has the love and respect from Christine that Kody never earned. Kody's kids think he's great and so does Janelle. 

It's the IN-YOUR-FACE-KODY-BROWN editing that makes the episodes worth watching. David's had his own drywall business for decades. Knows about construction, knows about tools. Cue to careless Kody swinging around a chainsaw and can't cut down a tree without being a safety hazard. TLC gives us more footage of Kody swinging an axe with one hand, trying to look cool. The paramedics are probably on standby off camera. 

Christine, David, and Janelle are starting fresh new chapters in their lives. Kody and Robyn are the same old, depressing, sour faced downers. Pretending to be happy having a picnic at a glorified drainage ditch while asking where it all went wrong. 

I almost forgot to mention Janelle FINALLY got a lawyer. Meri says she sort of has one, too. It's about damn time ladies!
