Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

Kody is just silly implying that he would have to take care of all the dogs.  That is utter nonsense as that responsibility would fall to the moms.  Just like all the other responsibilities do.  He probably does get dog hair on his clothes at Janelle's but he can buy a clothes brush or get one of those roller things. 

Just like he takes care of all the kids. And the wives.

My theory is he doesn't want anything around that might have better hair than his. A low bar, but I'm certain most dogs could do it. Including a Chinese crested.

Let's talk about this photo for a moment.

I know that's a dog outside only because she told me.  As viewed through the dirty window, I am struggling to figure out which end of the dog is which, but whatever.  What really caught my attention is the bunched-up rug in front of the slider - at first I thought she was going to post about how her dog likes to hide under the rug or something, but nope - it's just a rug that Janelle couldn't bother to straighten out before taking the photo.  Now I am no Suzy Homemaker myself but it just seems like basic entry-level housekeeping to not let area rugs bunch up and become a tripping hazard, but then again it would mean that Janelle would've had to actually get up and fix it, then sit back down and  - well, that's not going to happen, I guess.  I'm also unclear as to what we are seeing in the foreground of this photo - is this another dog?  Or a fuzzy blanket?  

I realize I am being extremely nit-picky.  But does she realize that when she puts stuff like this out there, it only emphasizes how incredibly lazy she is at literally everything?

From the strands & lumpy configuration it looks like a bathroom rug being used as Janelle's lap blanket.  Gabe's dog has thinner strands of black fur and her mom's dog has longer & lighter-coloured fur.

I love Oak Creek Canyon. Dropping down into it from Flagstaff is absolutely terrifying (winding, twisting, steep switchbacks clinging to the side of a cliff with a bunch of people in RVs on a two-lane road), but it is a truly spectacular drive in its own right. Then you round the curve and Boom! Sedona. 

For real. When I went to NAU, we had training in Sedona and the drive was pretty scary. But Sedona is as amazing as everyone says it is!

From a video where Janelle says she hasn’t worked out for a week, she had a cold. I guess Plexus failed. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She went to class, and wanted to walk out when they started the warmup, but she didn’t. She also said she got COVID tested twice, “because people don’t get colds anymore.”. The tests were negative.

Janelle's polar opposite reactions to Robyn and Christine.

Plague Acres Picnic: Christine proposes Utah move, Janelle reacts to her crying and distress with anger.

What's up with Janelle? Producer driven garbage, Janelle is a phony, End of the season and she was worn out from pretending to give a shit.

At one time, I found Janelle to be the most tolerable of all the wives, that turned around for me when she tossed aside her instincts for Gabe's academic life to follow her leader to Flagstaff, without protest. 

She has finally found her role in the family as Kody's commander-in-chief.  He has armed her with clipboards, whiteboards and magic markers and sent her on a mission to shoot down anything that may interfere with Robyn's wishes.

When Christine presented her rationale for wanting to return to Utah, her reaction was anger, rather than giving consideration to Christine's thought process and communicating with compassion the reasons she (Kody) thought it was unfeasible.  By allowing herself to be used as a pawn in this manner, she has proven that she is the most brainwashed of the bunch.

[WhatAmIWatching 402]

I've been rewatching some old episodes just so I can read all the comments and snark from here at the same time.

What struck me, is that what Kody did to Christine in this season finale, is the same bs he did to Meri over Cottonwood, and the b&b. (I can't remember right now if he's done it to anyone else). He gives lip service to being totally on board with their visions, when one-on-one, then yanks the rug out from under them when in front of the group.
  I don't quite grasp why he does this to the women he supposedly loves and cares about. (control? Fun?) If anyone betrayed me like that ONCE, I'd never trust them again, period, but these women allow it to happen over and over.

So much this!  She even said to Christine, "so you want to move there because your kids are there?"  First of all, I thought those kids were everyone's kids - you know, bonus moms and all that.  Second, Janelle was acting - very likely on instructions from Kobyn - that the very idea of moving away from the portion of the family that doesn't give a crap about her, to the part of her family that would very much love to have her there, was ridiculous and a slap in the face to Kody - who doesn't even bother to visit her anymore.  It would've been laughable had Christine not been sitting there sobbing and gasping for air once she fully understood that Kody had played her hard for his own enjoyment in front of everyone.

It was bad enough that Kody has been gaslighting Christine something fierce.  It's really sickening to see that Janelle is now his gleeful sidekick.  I wonder what's in it for Janelle - perhaps the promise of a mini-vacay in a teepee in the middle of the desert?

Christine should have broken that whiteboard over her knee and told them all to stick their Sharpies where the sun don't shine.

Janelle is a lazy slacker. I guess I will add delusional into that description because she shills this "healthy" mlm crap and lifestyle while glued to her lazy boy looking like a wikipedia description for comorbidity. She can't be bothered to have that thing growing on her lip looked until she can see it without a mirror. Unless one is delusional, nobody that looks like Janelle would be serious about promoting healthy anything. 

She's in this lifestyle so she can coast, and doesn't mind kody brown telling her what to do. No heavy "decision making" lifting, being in a rotation so she  only has to deal with the guy one on one infrequently. Her autopilot personality is a cover for her insecurities, which she then eats, in private.

Which makes her performance this season so phony. Out of the blue, assertive Janelle is going to address the communication pink elephant creating chaos in the brown fambly. Didn't work, not sincere, not entertaining and the only elephant I saw was her frozen in that camp chair stone faced. She has zero discipline or ambition.

Thanks! I can't remember any...at all. I recall Janelle interacting with the others and Robyn interacting with the others, but these two interacting, crickets. Which sparked my curiosity on their relationship.

So kody brown can save face being a fake polygamist by "keeping" Janelle and Robyn. Robyn wants everything from kody brown, Janelle, outwardly, wants nothing. Meri and Christine want things. Because his motivation to be in the lifestyle, being inauthentic, not faith based but ego based, it resulted in failure. He's too stupid to realize this and blames outwardly. He can only succeed when nobody questions or needs anything from him. 

If there is no angst or competition between Robyn and Janelle, his celestial life on earth might work. But could it work In the same house?  In theory, Robyn would get the help she signed up for, but it's with the one wife who didn't sign up for the child care part of polygamy. I do find the image of Janelle living with all that kid action 24/7 amusing.

THIS. 

I’d have empathy for her if she’s stop pretending she’s on the “healthy” bandwagon. I mean, Janelle has had YEARS to accomplish something and she’s still a lazy, fake AF blob who jumps from gimmick to gimmick.  She never sticks with anything long enough to give it a chance to work. 

You’re so right. Janelle is undisciplined, lazy, phony and has proven herself to be unwilling to dig in and do the work. Why would anyone pay her money for this garbage?

So much for communicating Janelle. 

Janelle had to comfort Robyn before anyone could spill the beans and say it was a mistake to add Robyn to the family, although Meri and Christine really would like to say it.  Janelle also had to smack down Christine for suggesting the move to Utah, because Kody wants that to be his idea when it becomes apparent that they won't build in Flagstaff.  She also must be punished because she nixed the idea of the large house.  She was supposed to play along with that idea for at least a season even if they all knew it would never be built. 

I think the work that Kody refers to that they do is sitting around thinking of how to prolong the show.   When Meri and Kody go to Flagstaff they mention  it doesn't matter where they live because they work from home.   Then in a talking head Janelle remarks that they don't need to explain to the kids that they will make x more money by moving.  Of course, no one believes that because if they moved for jobs or money, the adult children would understand why they move, but Maddie and Aspen clearly don't understand.  Even Ysabel has a clue because she asked "why do we move so much."  the reply from Christine was crickets. 

[laurakaye 50.6k]

Early on in this show, Janelle was actually successful in losing weight when she was with Trainer Sean, he of the "smash your scale with a sledgehammer!" fame.  She even walk/ran a 5K with the family - you may remember this episode, it was when Kody decided that no one could keep up with his "pace" and he ran ahead of the entire family?  (Jerk).  It was also the ep where Robyn was in charge of making fambly t-shirts and she "accidentally" ordered an XL for Janelle?  Well, that XL fit, foiling Robyn's early passive-aggressive plans, but my point is (and I do have one, lol) that had Janelle stayed on the track she was on back then, she'd probably actually be in a healthy weight range.  But like many, she self-sabotaged her weight loss.  Now I know many people who, upon seeing progress, revert back to their old ways and lather, rinse and repeat this cycle for years (raises hand)....but these people don't pretend to be health coaches.  The Janelle of the past, who was putting herself out there in a 5K - I might take advice from her.  This Janelle, the one who keeps setting up accountability groups and then changing the dates because she's not quite ready?  Just stop.  She is going to hurt someone - and at the very least, enable someone to stay right where they are because she is constantly bemoaning how harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd it is to exercise, when inertia is just so much easier. 

So there was a point in time where she had some discipline.  She talked many times about how much better she felt, but she slid back into her old habits and never came back.  I have to think her overeating is from unprocessed stress, or perhaps a way to keep Kody away from her.

   Would TLC be cool with it? Well... I don't see why not? Scandal and drama may attract watchers. Look at Bravo. They have how many housewives (or the husbands) that have been, or currently are, in trouble with the law?

  Ok, yeah, I still catch episodes here and there, because I marvel at people going on tv and airing the filthiest laundry, or making total fools of themselves, and it's interesting to me why someone chooses to share such personal experiences (or failings) with the entire world.        
   Money? Ok, sure, but you couldn't pay me enough to do the same. It wouldn't be worth the trolling, judgment and SM circus that follows, and besides all that, I'm pretty boring).

Dare I say it was almost simple before the last one came along and they went on the show.  Like you said, he may not be happy they are not keeping sweet.  Well I wouldn't be keeping sweet either if you were not being equal with your love and time for the rest of the wives and their children.  

I said right from the start, go with the cheaper rental homes in Vegas like Janelle suggested.  She knew they needed to be watching what they spent. They also all needed full time jobs, then just put the money earned from the show into some lower risk investments to build up a nest egg for retirement.

I agree.  He has spent 30 years living this life and KNOWING he was right.  All of his children have rejected his lifestyle.  This may not be so terrible if there were 2-3 of them but he's got a football team and still...

He keeps losing money & its basically all his fault due to very stupid financial decisions time and time again. 

He has 2 of his 4 wives openly admit they are miserable.  Janelle supports the 1 house thing but other than that, she's clearly making her own decisions and living her own life.

He's supposed to be the head of the household and yet, he is making no decisions and nobody listens to him. 

Everything he's known about himself and his family has been a lie, lost or was something that only existed because the kids were young.  

He's also always been immature.  All those kids and wives and responsibilities but he pouts or gets angry anytime he doesn't get his way.  He becomes spiteful when one of his kids disagrees with him, he shuts out people who with whom he feels betrayed him for years.  He gets a gut feeling about things and no matter who utterly stupid, negative, or risky they are...when he gets his mind to it, he's going to do it.
