PS Bring on the cooking with Janelle! I'd love to see Meri freak out, I'm sure that's going to make for some awesome and frosty SW-episodes. 

 

YASSSSSS let Janelle have a cooking segment! It would be worth it to watch Meri lose her shit.

I guess every picture from now on will have the ubiguitous tubes of colored poison.

Maddie's tube o' Plexus looks like bloody Mary mix - meanwhile, I can smell that sharp, disinfectant-level sweetness radiating off of the pink crap in Janelle's bottle from here.

It's lovely that they work together motivating each other....but what are they actually doing besides taking pictures of themselves NOT drinking the poison and going on retreats?  Do they take turns calling their downline and berating them for not shilling hard enough?

Once upon a time Janelle counted on Savanah  motivating her.

Cooking with JUST Janelle.

Ingredients: a can opener and an assortment of canned goods.

Step one: Heat can contents in pans on the stove.

Step two: Sit down for a while.

Step three: Hit the drive-thru when everything goes to hell, or is too foreign for the tastebuds.

Pitchur this,

They are both sitting around Maddie's kitchen table, using their burner phones to contact their downline into hustling more to sell their swamp water and all I see is this

They would make more than $544 a year if they sold sex toys. Those plexus bottles do look like a sex toy. 
 

 

I knew a lady once who worked full time in health care.  One day she cautiously, revealed to me that she and her husband made their real income from their home business of selling adult toys!  I was shocked. Lol I would never have expected that.  She said she made much more in the side business.  I guess she worked the job for benefits.  They had a couple of kids.

Say what you like about Janelle, but to me she always seemed to consider her kids' future and encouraged them to find their own paths as young adults. So, I'm very hopeful that Savanah is not going to end up as the spinster-care taking- youngest daughter looking after mom. Janelle simply doesn't seem the type of person to let that happen.

Of all the sister wives, she has always been the most independent and not afraid to work. And it seems that she's managed to pass this on to (most of) her kids (apart from Maddie, but she was Kody's baby after all)

Now, had Savanah been Robyn's, then I would have started to worry a long time ago. She would have ended up as a full time carer for mom with no life of her own. Fortunately, this job now goes to AuROARa, which is probably a good thing as it will save a guy from a disastrous plural marriage to both her and dear mommy in law!

I will say that Janelle has raised some kick-ass kids - even Maddie, who shills for MLM's in her spare time, is supposedly going to school (although I don't remember what she's going for anymore).

What bugs me about Janelle is that she worked outside the home and seemed to love going to an office every day and having a reliable job with benefits, etc.  I don't understand her reluctance to give that another try.  Maybe I'm naïve and her Z-list star power is enough for her to make a decent living from Plexus and whatever she makes from the show, but she's in her 50's and I can't imagine Kody hasn't gotten his gel-stained hands on anything Janelle might've had saved in a 401K or retirement plan to meet his own goals of building Fort Knox on Coyote Pass.  After all, Janelle's inheritance money bought the house in Lehi.  At this point in her life, she's got one almost grown daughter at home and a very part-time husband - it seems like the perfect time for her to go back to work and put money away that Kody (and Robyn) can't get their grubby hands on.  

The fact that she shills Plexus and is supposedly a "health coach," when it seems pretty obvious that neither is making a difference in her own weight, borders on ridiculous.  She's a lousy spokesperson when we never see her own results of doing the things she claims are life-changing.  Why not ditch the MLM game and find even a part-time job that pays a reliable salary?

THIS, and I’ve been wondering the same for years. Janelle seems incapable of losing a substantial amount of weight without a coach of her own pushing her — I don’t know how she’s getting paying customers. I’d be like,  “Uh, this doesn’t seem to actually work why should anyone pay for it?”

Once the show is over and her celebrity status has faded, I hope she has a backup plan — who’s gonna want to pay for weight loss advice from an obese person? That would be like going to a nursery to buy plants and they’re all brown and dead. If you can’t demonstrate success, you have no business being in said business.

Maybe she liked going to work to escape the chaos of the fambly.

Escaping chaos would have been a big part of it but I also think Janelle assessed her position in the pecking order and realized the only way she could gain recognition and admiration from Kody would be by contributing to the family coffers as well as reproducing at every opportunity. 

She sold herself short.  She went after Kody with a vengeance based on his physical appearance rather than qualities that would have made for a loving, appreciative husband and father.

Well, that womb's closed now, the coffers are emptied faster than anyone could possibly fill them, so those options to win Kody's favour have gone out of the window.

But...she can offer him no drama, peace of mind and conversations on an equal level. I can see how those things appeal to someone when you get older. (I've certainly learned to appreciate this over the years!)

In less than 6 months Janelle forgot how wonderful it is being out on the land?  Or convincing herself and viewers that she chooses living “homeless” with her daughter because she loves it!?   

[Jeanne222]

I think what Janelle is saying is that regardless of all the rumors swirling around social media about her leaving Kody...she's still a Brown and she's still building on their property!

[Gramto6]

I didn't see any sign of "building" going on. There were piles of logs that I think have been there a long time. Wasn't Kootie skinning them last season or the one before??? I don't believe they will ever build on that land. 

I think Janelle enjoyed living in the camper out on the land during the Summer/Fall and that is what she is looking forward to.

Pre Covid, I have wondered if filming would interfere with a job outside the home. 

Since Covid, and the shift from working in an office owned by the employer to working from home, why Janelle at least, doesn't bring in some extra $$, benefits, vacation time you can cash out. 

I have a friend who, pre-covid, got a job with customer service. After 3mo. Probation, he advanced and now makes $22/ hr.  He does not have to get dressed for work. 

I have decided this would be a perfect job for Janelle. 😃

Perfect indeed for Janelle.  Of all the adults, she is the only one that can express herself with clear diction and enunciation and get to the point.  Well, maybe Kody could be clearly understood in a phone conversation but he would meander off topic, relating the customer's problem to his situation.  "Did you know I have 3 wives and 18 kids? I had 4  wives at one time but for some unknown reason, one of them thought she could live without me."

Agree, she’s either good at pretend play when it comes to building there, or she’s completely delusional in believing Kody’s fairytales about a Brown Compound on Coyote Pass…

Kody and Robyn are never going to build there. They have their own secluded luxurious mansion away from the others, so why trying to top that and having Janelle and Meri as neighbours too?

[Jeanne222]

It seems that in the last video Janelle kind of slipped and said they would be building next Summer!

I’ll have to take another listen. 

[deirdra]

I only heard her say she loves the property & is moving things around to get ready for the summer.  Presumably bringing back her RV.  Those logs they were "pilling" during Kody's fight with the boys are still there. And the small hill they call "the mountain".

The way they carry on about that arid patch of land with a view of a hillock, you would think it was an Alpine meadow with a fresh brook babbling through the lush landscape.

[eskimo]

Going forward, I don't think Janelle is going to do a single thing based on what the others might do.  If she moves an RV up to Coyote Pass, it's because that's where she wants to be.  If the rest show up...fine.  If they don't...fine.  I think if she really wants something she will do it and what the other three do is really inconsequential at this point.  

Back to the finances, I know at one time their money was pooled, but it seems less likely now.  And I hope it's not pooled anymore.  Janelle lives more modestly than the rest of them and I hope Kody and Robyn aren't taking what she's saving on housing and utilities to have that huge house.  She should get to keep that.  Meri likely makes the most money, and as much as I dislike her, I hope she's keeping it all as well.  Don't help support people who treat you like shit!

I think Janelle will find a way to stay on her piece of land permanently.  Maybe she will get a prefab house or a cabin.   What all would she need?  A septic system, a water tank and electricity.  Maybe solar panels would provide enough electricity. Or maybe she will find herself a winterized RV.

Yeah, I think Janelle really wants to live out there on the land. The problem is the Winter poses a real problem. At this point she is probably better off moving to town for Winter, renting an apartment and then moving out on the land for Spring-Fall in her RV.  She seemed quite content there last Summer.

I just hope Savanah is driving by now, I remember last season she said she was dependent on her mom to get her around.  I can't imagine what life must be like for her if she isn't driving.  Janelle may be content with the minimalist lifestyle in the RV but it seems very confining for a young woman.

Ok…that’s one helluv an expensive camp site then! Spend a fortune on building ground and use it to camp out on with your RV. (Or to store furniture in trucks for that matter)

And of course Robyn and Kody are claiming what Janelle doesn’t necessarily need. Kody did this with Meri so why change a tactic that obviously works? They need it with all those kids and an expensive house anyway.

Thanks for that. We have graduated licenses where I am too but lots of teens don't bother to get fully qualified ASAP and don't realize it is a problem until they're expected to drive for a job. I took my road test and got my license the day I turned 16; for me, driving = freedom, even if it is mom's car! I guess we'll know when Savanah is fully qualified when Janelle posts a pic from her stoop showing Savanah driving off alone.

Everything looked pretty dry around there.  With any luck, that secondary ditch they dug for a future water tank may have filled up with melted snow. Are there any fish besides catfish that can live in muddy holes?  It would be great for family get togethers if Janelle stocked the ditches with catfish, to commemorate why they are still on the air!

Won't the logs rot if they lay out there like that and are untreated?

Robyn and Kody's mansion includes a guest house.  They should rent it to Janelle for the cost of their monthly mortgage payment, until or unless Day'un or one of the daughters resides there.  Or, they should charge Janelle some type of indoor plumbing user fee while she camps in her RV, since their mansion is near Prairie Dog Plague Pass.  But, maybe either of those scenarios is too close to sharing one house for all of them.  You'd think by now that these grifters would be better at it. . .
