I'm guessing its not up to code and can't operate as a B&B until it is. I'm also guessing costs will determine what she does with it.

But why would people guess? I mean, she said she's doing renovatios, sometimes a reno is just a reno.

Suggestion:  DON'T get decorating advise from Robin.

And hire an interior designer! 
No one beats Robyn of course, but Meri has a peculiar (and expensive) taste in “interior designs” too!

[eskimo]

I bet if she's actually living there now, she wants it to be up to some higher standards. Maybe she'll put in a wet bar? 🤷‍♀️.  I doubt that old-timey feel is fun to live in.

During the renovations, she can always move into that She Shed her pretend friend helped her design

Meri pleeeze stop with the filters!! We all know what you really look like, and it is OK to be the real you!!

The text is a bit hard to see:

Them: “She’s just not loyal”

I've never been a Meri fan, but I'm glad she has a sense of humor about her situation.

[ginger90]

I admit I laughed out loud at this one.

Is Zona wearing a claddagh necklace?  Now Meri is looking for loyalty!

No it’s the fidelis necklace  Kody gave her because she was loyal. Now of course he says she never was.

[smarty]

Now that's funny!  Meri does have a good sense of humor.

Good for her. I love Zona!

It looks way better on a dog (I'm not even joking, that dog looks adorable in it). I think we finally found Robyn's only talent (outside of the bedroom). Dog joolry designer.

She better lower her pricing expectations, though. Put that ugly garbage on a dog collar, and knock the prices down to ten bucks a piece, and it will finally move!

I'll need a small consulting fee, of course. I can't be giving away brilliant ideas for free.

Right? After all, you have to worry about your estate!

[Meow Mix]

Ok, I love Meri for turning that ugly necklace into a dog collar.  She is way more subtle at the zingers that Christine with the constant nacho eating.  I'm also glad she and Zona have each other.

[65mickey]

Meri is hinting on her Instagram that she is working on a Tell All in some fashion. Maybe Meri and Janelle have decided to get back at Kody for screwing them out of their share of Coyote Pass. I hope so. She also looks great in her recent pictures.

I feel like the thing for 90’s scripted shows right now is to gather some members of the cast and do an episode-by-episode, rewatch podcast. Maybe Meri is planning something like that? I might listen to that, especially if it seemed like it would be candid and truthful. And especially, especially if it shed some light on the Brown family financial house of cards.

What I got from something recent I saw from Meri (maybe a Facebook video, but I don't remember), is that her "Worthy Up" grift is the tell-all. In other words, people who subscribe will get the "real" story.

I have a lot of sympathy for Meri, Janelle, and Christine. I wish them all well. I'm never going to be a mark for one of their grifts. 

[RoxiP]

Meri is kind of cracking me up in recent episodes.  She has lost her "sister wife" filter in her TH segments.  I don't know how she keeps from laughing when Kody goes on and on about how much he will miss Meri.  I love she says the unvarnished truth - he had 10 years to fix it and it is too late now!

So, like some sort of subscription you mean? You have to be a member to see her content?

I actually hoped for a book with all the dirty inside information. She’ll probably make a fortune with that and stab a certain person in his kidney (if there’s room left for another knife) I know I would buy it, yes I’m that kind of person. 😉

And what makes you think a single word of it will be true?  These people wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the rear end.  Their entire existence for the past umpteen years has been built on made up stories, many of them conflicting.  They cannot even keep their lies straight from one interview to the next.

One can always hope😉

Besides, we'll probably "know" if her version is closer to the truth than Kody's or SW in general. This forum has been spot on about lies, inconsistencies and things that weren't said on numerous occasions.

Never fear.  There's another kidney.  Plenty of room.

Yeah. I just know that she has some sort of "Worthy Up" thing. She calls it a "community," but I don't know what to call it other than a grift. You have to pay to join.

The lowest level is $30/month. Then there's a flat (i.e. not monthly) $500 subscription for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025. There's also a flat $800 subscription for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025. Both of the flat rates price levels promise more access than the monthly subscription. Descriptions here:  https://www.worthyup.com/join-our-community

She then sells "experiences" like "symposiums" and "daycations." Descriptions here: https://www.worthyup.com/experiences

She also sells merch: https://shop.worthyup.com/collections/merchandise

It's all just one big grift.

Here's a recent Instagram video from Meri. To sum, she's kind of saying, "People want to know if I'm working on a book — not currently. Where I am sharing my story is in my ridiculously priced 'community'." [Very loose paraphrase.]

Can anyone who follows her social media accounts answer if she currently has a boyfriend?

To me, it seems sort of like a patreon community without having to be confined by patreons rules. But it all seems more scammy because of the mlm history - and "worthy up" just sounds like a scammy name. In reality its just  a patreon with a bad name

Really?? Utterly speechless and that doesn’t happen a lot, I assure you!

I suppose if one is willing to shell out $500, the $800 one isn't such a stretch to say "what the heck, go for it!"  What is the saying about a sucker born every minute....... 🤣

I usually only look at any of their social media, after someone has posted something here or on Reddit. I suspect that if or when Meri starts dating again, she won't be eager to share it too soon. I think she was surprised by how the fandom really dug into the past of that guy Amos. (That said, although I think the fandom can be intrusive, I also think they might have helped Meri dodge a bullet with that man).

Good gravy!  No WONDER she  can afford to go to Disney all the time!!  That is some crazy financial ask to have access to Meri's "experience".  What is she SMOKING??

Exactly.  And keep in mind that to this day, Meri still hasn’t told the truth about the catfishing.  To me, it’s the most interesting, revealing, certainly juicy, but also sympathetic story of the whole series: it showed the difficulties, jealousies, struggles, and loneliness of the life of a sister wife, and had they been honest, I think it would have been fascinating.  And real.  Instead, everyone, including and especially Meri, lied about it all.

I see this a lot, but I never know what it is that people are looking for.

Mer said she felt in love with (or possibly worded it as "felt love for") Fake-Sam. There was no in-person relationship. Meri texted and called (or played voicemail tag) with a liar. 

What is she not telling the truth about?

Really?  Wow, ok.  As I remember it, Meri never ever used the word love.  In fact, she talked about the whole thing as an online relationship with a FRIEND, always denying her romantic interest in Sam.

 Fake-Sam apparently scammed other people, and the show decided to bring another victim to Las Vegas to meet Meri and swap stories.  I remember the other woman opening up very honestly about looking for love and getting fooled, while Meri nodded along nervously and contributing little to nothing, as she was still going with the pretense that her relationship wasn’t romantic. 

I remember at the end-of-season reunion or tell-all, the host had the unenviable task of asking Meri about the infamous banana voicemails and photos, and Meri stammered and said she was hacked and they were “looking into it.”  A lie!

Then there was the conversation between Leon and Meri about the whole thing, which was awkward and tense because Leon knew the truth, or at least a lot more than Meri was admitting to.  Leon seemed angry or frustrated with Meri, not only for stepping out on Kody, but for not coming clean about it.  More lying!

Yes, Meri embraced the word catfish, but has never admitted that as an ignored and abandoned sister wife, she was looking for love, romance, and yes, sex.  Which, to me at least, would have been a raw, candid, and honest peak behind the curtain of the life of a polygamous sister wife, which is what this show was supposed to be about.
