Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

Probably miserable since daddy lives in a nice house and they will live in an RV.

The only thing of “interest”, Season 16 of Sister Wives premieres Nov. 21 on TLC.

[WhatAmIWatching]

Do the rags like People have to pay them for articles if all the info is gleaned from public social media?

Hmm, looks like the new season is pretty much a redux of last season. I hope this time Kody's head actually explodes, sending ramen noodle hair strands flying out like shrapnel.

 I think if the article is, “exclusive “ they get paid, but they don’t when it’s just info gathered from social media.

This was posted on reddit TLCSisterwives by user KSDem under topic "I'm finding it harder to sympathize with Meri and Christine after watching the Lularich documentary." I hope it's okay to repost here.

It may be low self esteem issues.  I don't know what caused the breakup of her marriage to Meri's brother but if he was as domineering as Meri, that may have been a factor.  Janelle may just feel that this is as good as it gets for her.

Based on the book it appears that as  Janelle and her mother were sailing from the LDS church toward polygamy, Adam was sailing from the shores of polygamy where his mother had planted her family to the land of the LDS. 

Several members of her family cut ties with Janelle and her mother which probably caused them to double down on their commitment to polygamy.  Because she came from the LDS, she had fewer choices of people to marry.   She already knew Meri and she thought Kody was cute so in a way it was a practical choice and a marriage of convenience for her.  It probably wasn't too easy to find potential polygs as this was long before dating sites such as Polygsrus.com or poly.com

She looks cold to me, sitting too far from the fire to even keep the front side of you warm.

I get that Janelle's idea of fun is roasting  hot dogs and making s'mores. Unfortunately, neither Truely nor Savanah look like they're having fun. They look totally bored und slightly uncomfortable. 

Edited September 17, 2021 by Elodia

[laurakaye]

Truely might be having a decent time because she gets to go home to a warm house with a nice private bedroom.  Savannah knows that she gets to head back into a confined space with almost no place to call her own that smells like sweat, Plexus and dog farts.

I also wonder if the glum look of the photo is because the two girls are both in the midst of yet another life-changing upheaval...both Christine and Janelle appear to be in the process of pulling up stakes and moving again (to who knows where).

[ginger90]

We’ve seen Janelle’s food pictures. She takes awful pictures, but posts them anyway, that’s a known fact.

 

 

[SunnyBeBe]

I’m wondering if Janelle is sort of waiting around to see where everyone is going to end up and that’s why she’s really not committing on another lease or purchase. If she can get power to her property, she might explore these houses. I saw a piece about them on tv.  It’s new technology called 3D houses.  Originally, designed for the homeless and seniors.  They seem to be expanding.  Quite attractive and low cost too.

Didn’t know this was a new thing.  Here in Wisconsin, they will refill upon request unless you decide to exchange.

That seems awfully pragmatic for the Browns but maybe?

I love those 3D homes. Very attractive. Again, probably way too pragmatic for the Browns but not a bad idea!

When I lived in CA until we had propane piped in we always refilled the canister. Here in MT when I used my propane bbq I always refilled instead of exchanged. Not anything new and amazing!

Most especially to Janelle...it's like she was dropped here fresh from another planet, sometimes.

WTF? We've been refilling our propane for years. We have one tank we keep for exchange if we need to do it on a day the refill station is closed.

Oh Geez Janelle... The places that you go to for tank exchange sell by price.  They only partially fill the tank so that the "price per tank" looks lower, but in actuality the tank is as little as half full. If you go to fill the tank instead of just exchange...they fill the tank to its intended volume. Coupled with the fact that it is overall cheaper to just have a jumbo tank of propane and fill the smaller tanks than shipping around the small tanks to begin with.  That's why the price is actually cheaper to fill vs swap.

I was just thinking that, didn't she have to apply for a permit to RV there? I thought it could only be temporary and it appears to me that if she is just learning to refill her propane tanks, she plans on staying a while. I am sure people who live close by probably aren't thrilled there are squatters in sense on land they paid probably a pretty penny to build their "dream homes" on.

Yes, I think she applied for some sort of permit.  I know Janelle said she was going “somewhere” for the winter, but just wondered if she wondered parking a trailer there was considered the same as a house in regards to getting an exemption.  Honestly, the only thing I find interesting about this show at this point are the finances.

Screenshot from a video, plexus blah, blah, blah, gut health, blah, blah, no sugar cravings, blah, blah, blah.

Yet, she started the video talking about pumpkin spice stuff she has to try, and now with the holidays coming it’s going to be hard.

Whatever.

Right? If this magical elixir is so great, why is she worrying about cravings?

@Roslyn, that’s very insightful. Maybe this is exactly what Janelle wants. One thing that I appreciate about Janelle is that she doesn’t post cryptic bullshit on social media that hints at strife in her marriage while at the same time proclaiming how strong she is, and then turns around to says everyone misunderstood her and her marriage is awesome (contrary to everything shown on the show). Meri has that market cornered. 

This should be framed and sent to Meri.  The lady needs to stop with the posting

Man, none of these ladies seem to be able to spot a contradiction even if it is right in front of their face. They say one thing, then the opposite (in the same post!) and then seem confused or angry when someone points it out to them. I don’t know if they are stupid, or think we are - definitely they are stupid about many things, but I sometimes wonder if they know but just assume their “fans” are too stupid to pick up on it.

Well. They have been doing this since the beginning of the show.  Watch season 1 and 2, then read Robyn's bestselling book and it is one contradiction after another.

And if they suck at something (like Janelle), they just……..keep on going. 

I feel like she’s lying and getting away with it. It makes me angry because health isn’t something to take lightly, yet we have this unsuccessful, exercise-hating veggie-phobe peddling shit to the public. “It gets rid of cravings but, pumpkin spice treats!” In the same damn post. 

I’m all for “keep-trying-don’t-give-up” if someone displays a talent for an occupation, but Janelle is just *really* bad at this. The lack of any acquired knowledge after years, the contradictions, the lack of confidence and most profoundly, the lack of results. She also can’t write anything without sounding like a newbie. 

If this was just a blog where Janelle was sharing her struggles, I might empathize but with the business she’s a lying fraud.

That's the very core of it Turtle Power.  They are not suggesting some craft project, where if it didn't work out, someone may be out few bucks at most.  Maddie and Janelle are tampering with people's health and they are in no way qualified to address themselves to this topic, either by example or knowledge.

There is a psychological condition called Mythomania; a condition in which a person is habitually or compulsively lying. It’s main purpose is to paint oneself as either a victim or hero.  Now…does that sound strangely familiar  when talking about the Browns??

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

Um, I must be missing something, like results..Doesn't it take her like 2 weeks to come out of the funk from traveling from AZ to NC? Sugar cravings? She probably thinks of it as teaspoons of sugar, she obviously does not look at the packaging for sugar content. She doesn't have 3 boys to cook for, nor a house to clean ( I doubt she did much anyway) Rent must be coming due or propane tanks need to be refilled. And that mullet she is sporting looks like crap

[lindalouwho]

Is that another McNugget growing on her right cheek? Shouldn’t she be getting checked every six months after a melanoma removal. Oh, my bad. Plexus will save her. So tired of her life coach pretensions.

[MakingBacon]

Who are these people asking what Is Janelle’s secret, what is she doing differently and what is she drinking? Why would anyone ask her any of that? Why do these people always have health problems that can be cured by a drink? If you have brain fog, low energy, are sleepy poorly and have inflammation, you might want to see a real doctor. Who believes this crap? What makes Janelle think she looks like the picture of health.
