I think Suki has done a really good job so far this time around. She lets Kody talk and talk and out himself as an ass on television without her having to directly point it out. I don't like Robyn either, but Kody made the choice to have a favorite wife and spend unequal time at her house. The real accountability for all this is on Kody. 

I also really liked that Suki pointed out the ex-wives were taking accountability, at least on some level. I wouldn't be surprised if Kody and Robyn try to get Suki fired like they did with Tamara Hall. 

Is this the first time we have heard Kody claim that Meri kicked him out of the house? I don't recall ever hearing that before. I do think that if the catfish had been a real man, Meri would left everyone to chase after him. Meri was in a really bad place at the time and I think she was looking for a way out.

Yes, I too think they were dancing around the catfish. I believe that IF the catfish had been an authentic man, who encouraged Meri to be vulnerable, while providing constant emotional support, she would have packed her bags and left polygamy.

Once the scam became public, Meri was embarrassed, humiliated, and ashamed which the family all fed into. Given Meri had nowhere to go, and the others eventually "forgave her", they still had the incident hanging over her like a dark cloud, using it to silence any complaints and further enabling her isolation. 

I didn't understand how the other wives didn't allow her some grace, or try to understand how she could easily fall in love with someone who showed her attention. Mind you, I have heard in the early years Meri could be very demanding and cruel to the others.

It was weird that they danced around it since they spent like 3 seasons talking about it non-stop.

That being said, I completely believe Christine that Robyn mentioned several times about "polygamous men divorcing their first wife to marry the last wife". Christine was surprised because she had never heard of that being a thing. I believe her because Christine is the type who would discuss marriages, and personal or emotional situations like that with others. Janelle and Meri wouldn't even think of it.

So when Robyn declared she didn't remember saying that, and then declaring "It never happened" I was thinking, maybe Christine was off.

I recall seeing it on the show, in a strange episode where Robyn showed up at Christine's house supposedly unexpectedly (with camera crew already there talking to Christine when they all were in separate homes). All the kids were at school so Christine was alone with the cameraperson when the uninvited guest shows up late in the morning but hasn't had anything to eat yet that day and says she's hungry. It was almost as if Robyn was trying to get Christine to do or say something unbefitting for a good sisterwife.  Christine perplexedly asks the uninvited guest if she wants something to eat.  C gets her something while R pretends to be a friend who always stops by alone to talk, though we'd never seen it. I recall a story about plyg geezers divorcing old wives to marry the new shiny wife and it being brought up a year or two later, possibly on a couch session.  I believe Christine, not Robyn. As Meri said, if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember your "story" to tell it the same way.  Robyn is the one who said that she never filled out Nancy's personalitiy test and insisted that Christine must have filled it out for her, then TLC showed the tape of Robbem taking the quiz - BUSTED!

So do I understand that we get three more episodes of truth from the OG 3, with smatterings of Kody going apoplectic at the thought that Suki might dare say something less than stellar about Robyn, while Robyn sits there smirking at Suki and telling her that she's not interested in answering any questions, nor can she be bothered to look at the screen with the clips - in other words, the whole reason she's there in the first place?  I wish Suki would pick up the monitor and hold it 6 inches away from Robyn's face and watch Robyn squirm back and forth like a child being made to take a spoonful of medicine.

I do enjoy watching Kody word-salad himself into a deep hole while Suki closes her eyes and starts mentally composing the letter to her supervisor demanding a raise.  And I loathe how Kody tries to be all overly-friendly towards Suki when he first walks in the door, and transitions into a sulking petulant baby after about 3 minutes.

No wonder the OG 3 look and sound fantastic.  The relief they must feel that Kody and Robyn are out of their lives must feel like 300 pounds has been lifted from their shoulders.

Robyn is a liar liar. Courtesy of reddit. Panel on the left is from a previous reunion where she completely denies even knowing or having heard of a plyg man that divorced the legal wife to married another wife. The panel on the right is from part 1, where she admits she heard of it and says Kody's dad did it.

One lie leads to another.  Your pants are always afire, aren't they, Robyn?

They won’t get the chance.  K & R won’t be on the next season.  They have run out the clock and their services are no longer needed.  If they do come back, they will be marginalized.

TLC is well aware that viewers continue to hate watch just to see Kootie and his outrageous behavior.  K and R are not going anywhere.

There just isn't any more than that to squeeze content from for storyline.

Kootie cannot rant on forever once everyone is gone. I have no desire to watch the divorcees - what is there to see?  Grocery shopping?  Planning for businesses that never happen?  Shilling their MLM crap? Playing with the grandkids?  I can watch any of my neighbors doing that.

I know I said this last season too, but I just don't know what else they're going to show us with none of the sister wives or Kody interacting. Even Christine and Janelle now live on opposite sides of the country. The only thing that might be left is fighting over Coyote Pass. I hope we don't get a whole season of Janelle planting flowers. I'm happy for Janelle and Christine, but I'm not watching hours of flower picking and Christine fawning over David.

I'm not sure what kind of contract TLC has with these buffoons, but I have a feeling that despite Douche being, well, a douche, he has some sort of iron clad contract that is allowing him and Crybrows to spew lies unchallenged, and to refuse to answer questions or watch tapes on the reunion shows. In any normal circumstance, after it happened once, a network would amend a contract and withhold a substantial, if not entire chunk of salary until the person fulfilled their obligation to sit through the Tell All reunion and WATCH all the footage the producers wanted them to watch, and then answer ALL the questions the host asked them. But instead, we have this horrible person and his horrible wife lying through their teeth, refusing to answer basic questions and refusing to watch clips of what came out of their own mouths during filming.

Something is amiss here. Something smells rotten, not in Denmark, but in Coyote Pass and Flagstaff. There is some reason they are allowed to get away with shirking their duties to this show, I want to know what it is. And then I want them gone from TV forever. BUT, I do want at least one or two seasons of the OG families, just to know K&R are watching and not getting a dime out of it anymore! NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I think she was referring to Janelle and Christine living on different sides of the country (I had to think about it also).

Unfortunately I have very little to do on Monday nights so I will still watch. Besides, my daughter and I love to get on the phone and trash Kody and Robyn after the fact.

I watched for several seasons, then stopped when they moved to Las Vegas. All they were doing was stupid stuff that I didn't want to watch, like doing vision statements and trying to start that stupid jewelry business.  Bo-ring.

I came back when I read that Christine had left Kody. I watched the season leading up to that, then stayed for the train wreck. Now, THAT'S good television!

I have really enjoyed watching Christine, Janelle, and Meri stretch their wings. They all are so HAPPY now! I don't really enjoy watching Kody and Meri stuff, but I know a lot of people watch just because they hate Kody and Robin.

That's the appeal. If we can't be outraged by Kody and Robyn, what's the point. Garrison's death reminded me these are real people and not just characters for me to get a kick out of.

I understand that, my confusion is on who actually came up with the idea as they have told different stories.  Either way, it's just sad that their bio dad gave up his parental rights.  Dayton was crushed when he found out.

Not sure what to make of that either. However, there’s usually two sides to each story and we only ever heard Robyn’s sobbin’ stories. Of course she didn’t do anything wrong, we all know she never does. It’s always somebody else’s fault.

Mr Jessop by contrast, has always kept a dignified silence never trying to thrash his ex or cash in on his ex wife’s actions. He’s probably no angel but I somehow doubt he is as bad as Robyn wants us to believe.

My guess is that  he either gave up his rights under threat of some legal action or because he was lured into  doing so, like how Meri was convinced to end her legal marriage. (Just speculating here)

Well, Kody seems to think so.  LOL.

And then when she (Robyn) bats those fake eyelashes at him he's just done for 🙄  Such a weak man who sacrifices his entire beliefs and families for a woman and then tries to tell his other wives that he never loved them.  Interesting to see if he admits he also doesn't love his other children like he loves Robyn's 😕 He's such an ego driven narcissist and more so now than ever.  He forgets that we all saw parts of their lives play out over the years. And how dare he talk about respect, he has shown none.

I didn't watch this season, I recorded it but just couldn't be bothered.  I kept wondering why there were so many episodes piling up, not realizing it was the final season.  I finally deleted them and then the funeral episode and the two tell alls showed up so I'm watching them now as a final chapter.  I'm glad it's over, it was overdue.  I looked up online and read today they sold the property too.

I personally hope there aren't any spinoffs, if I want to see them I can check their social media.  I think all the ex wives are in a much better place now and they all look healthier and happier.

 Best hair, and she looked fresh and happy.

Only thing Kody has in common with Batman is Robyn is his sidekick.

Totally agree re Meri, she has lost weight, and had a heavy weight lifted, she has had her teeth fixed and looks cuter and happier than she ever did!

Too funny your Batman/Robyn sidekick comment 😂❤️

He couldn't legally adopt Robyn's children unless he was married to her AND their bio father had his parental rights terminated (either voluntarily or involuntarily). He couldn't marry Robyn legally unless he divorced Meri.

Yet I read this.... (copied/pasted) 

In Nevada, you can adopt your common-law wife's children under certain circumstances, specifically if you're a stepparent and the child's biological parent consents to the adoption. Nevada doesn't require marriage for adoption but does require a stepparent to be the spouse of the child's legal parent.

Love this post!

The only reason I keep hanging in is because I'm waiting for TLC to put their foot on Kody's neck and demand he answers the questions (or simply not get paid).

I want to see Suki confront him while saying, "I'm not your wife so stop trying to bully me into switching topics; stop talking over me rudely, and enough with the gaslighting, saying something did not happen when we've seen all the shows. I know how you attempt to control the narrative - now own your behavior."

Then I will be satisfied with never watching the show again.

I want Janelle to get a release from the manchild (with Meri in tow, preferrably driving together just to close that loop), then I'm good. I can get any other news via their socials. 

I found Janelle so refreshing when she simply said she had no interest in associating with kody and Robyn because she just doesn't like them.

Their story never made sense because two weeks after the adoption allegedly occurred, the kids went to visit their biological father.  It was a big discussion at the time.

We can all agree that something is off in that particular storyline, though we'll probably never know what. 

I suspect they only used the word adoption to convince Meri to divorce. They knew it would hit a sensitive nerve with Meri. Has anyone, including the wives, ever seen proof that the kids were in fact adopted? You can take a different last name (e.g. your step-dad's) without being formally adopted. 

Yes, I know there was a scene in the court house, but it didn't seem real to me. Besides, I find it odd that judges show up in a reality show, particularly when it involves a case about minors. But that's my take.

This is my personal "conspiracy theory" re: adoption.

We all know that Robyn came to the Browns with a pile of personal debt. I believe Robyn intentionally dropped info about "all the poly families she knows" where the hubby would divorce wife 1 to marry the last wife. Once Kody absorbed that; then gradually came to believe it was an option for him.

Robyn then sealed the deal by suggesting Kody adopt her children to make them fully "Browns" (in lieu of the negative publicity her ex could stir up by having to go to court re: child support. She also could guarantee her children's financial future.) David probably agreed after Robyn assured him that it was just a formality for the show, but he wouldn't have to pay for the kids anymore.

Robyn then ensured the divorce would be finalized through her involvement with the woman who was cat- fishing Meri. Robyn condoned and supported Kody's feelings of disgust towards Meri's "cheating", this making their marital break permanent.

That's when the true pained expression, dry sobbing, victim with a wrestler's neck, Robyn, fully emerged from her Diesel cocoon.

Ta-da, conspiracy complete ✅

TBH, in a plural setting it would make sense in all families that the man divorces the first wife, marries the second to have kids legally under his name, rinse and repeat with each wife so that all his children are under his name legally. I mean, if they care that much about populating their personal afterlife planets with all their offspring, they'd do that, wouldn't they? And they could do it after they're done having kids, just marry and divorce over the course of a few years et voila! Now all the kiddos are under the sperm donors name. This ALSO would make him legally responsible for all those children, which is probably why the men in these families do not do this as a rule.

All they have to do is put Kody’s name on the birth certificates. You don’t have to be married to someone to be legally recognized as the father of the children. The difference with Robyn’s children is that she was married to the bio dad of the children when she had them and his name was on their birth certificates. Robyn didn’t want the Brown name for her kids; she literally wanted to revise history and turn Kody into their bio dad. The adoption thing was just a close as she could get with the laws that are currently in place.

This is actually not true. 

Spoiler

This is why paternity had to be established before Christine’s child support/custody case could proceed. Being on the birth certificate or not, they were never legally married.
