Exactly!  The story blows up because of the lie. Lies will always make things worse.

It's not the crime, but the coverup. We all make mistakes, it's how we proceed after the mistake that is to be judged, that speaks to our character.

[Chris Knight]

Another 3 hour episode tonight ?!?! Sorry Sister Wives, I don't think so. Unlike you all, I have a FT job and my leisure time is limited.

They both seem simply odd in that photo (and several others).  Maybe, just maybe, it will be two outliers happy together.  I doubt it, but possibly.

Sorry,  can't quote on this device. Christina,  100 likes for your post.  All Meri has to do is say "Oh my gosh.  I was in a sad place and got taken advantage of. I wish I had relied on the love of my family and let them know about the dark place I was in. I am embarrassed at my actions. I was searching for love and friendship and I was wrong". This all blows over in a few weeks. 

100 likes for you, too!

Note that most of that is Christine's doings. Anything to distract her from how unhappy her situation is. She's like Nikki from Big Love and her excessive spending out of boredom and searching for attention. 

Referencing the episode of 1/2/17, for the first time I let my eyes wander to the decor of the wives' various homes.  Excessive spending out of boredom?  See: Meri's entryway.  There's a long shelf just inside her door that was COVERED with Hobby Lobby 50% off clearance merchandise.  I looked carefully at her living room and I don't think there was one flat surface that didn't have several knick-knacks on it.  I also noticed Robyn's house, which is similar to Meri's except her junk is bigger (I mean her knick-knacks, y'all).  And then, as I was looking, I came across THE PORTRAIT and I might have screamed out loud, I'm not sure.  That'll teach me to quit looking at their "decor."

LOLOL, and it even has the coveted "Y" she includes in all her kid's names (except PaEdon).

I was thinking the same thing about all the crap EVERYWHERE in all the houses.  It covers every surface   All I could think about was dusting  and dust.  I'm a minimalist myself.  All that clutter made me twitchy.

Watching some of Meri's FB live LLR events, I would not recommend her for any job or career which requires client facing/customer service skills. 

She's coming across as a real bitch. 

Interesting. Did you participate in the FB events? Anything you can elaborate on?

I'm one of the 12k or so members of the group. I haven't bought anything - leggings aren't my style unless I'm staying home (got a great pair at the Gap this weekend for $14) or going to visit family. So the chances of me buying anything is remote. It's interesting to watch though. She definitely needs someone to assist. She primarily does FB Live events which really chew up the data, so I try not to watch unless I have a good wifi signal. People keep asking for album sales which is more fair to the customers who have a slow connection, but that would entail taking photos (good ones) of each item, vs what she's been doing which is literally take each item out of the box and plastic and hold it up to her iPhone while peering at the streaming comments to see if it's sold.

[RazzleberryPie]

I left her Lularoe group. She is very slow, only had the really pricey and frumpy items most of the time, and no way would I give her access to my credit card info.

she seemed to sell a lot, though.

They probably use the same TLC-provided photographer.

I like the wedding photo. It doesn't look Duggarish to me despite the color mishmash. Everybody looks happy and natural. The Duggars always look like they're at a funeral.

Tony and Mykelti aren't exactly a classy couple, and a tacky wedding was totally expected.  I imagine they will end up in a double wide with three kids under 6.

Typical "look at the bride and groom and do something cutesy" wedding photo.  Quite the rainbow of colors. No innuendo intended.

I do not like that dress.  Or the color scheme.  They were my school colors in jr high.  Had to toss that out there.  Was I the only one, that when Mykelti said the family needed to make the flowers and they need about 7000 of them, that said no fucking way prima donna?  IF you are going fabric flowers there are these stores where you can actually purchase them and not make your poor mom go blind.  I also didn't like her attitude or her intended.  I could be TOTALLY wrong, but he seems like a smug asshole to me who thinks he's stumbled onto a wealthy family.

The fabric flowers was Mykelti trying to out-Maddie Maddie in the "my way or the highway" scheme of Pinterest wedding creations.  It didn't work.

And if CCS thinks he stumbled onto a wealthy family, then I'm going to need several minutes to compose myself from all the hearty LOLOLOLOLZ.  Don't let the wet bar fool ya, Tony!  Those McMansions and vacations are going to go "poof" faster than your father-in-law's receding hairline!

I do NOT like Robyn's hair in that updo that is similar to HER wedding updo.  It is unkind to her face.

Meri looks bright, bright orange in the wedding photo. Yikes!

I do the same thing! Especially with these people! It's my favorite part of watching this show. 

On an episode within the last season I noticed  Christie had a coffee pot &...electric pressure cooker on her kitchen  counter! 

I laughed for the rest of the hour. I LOVE my electric pressure cooker but know soooo many people that are very  afraid & want to form a prayer circle around me  when they hear me mention pressure cooker...based on the  scary giggly ones from back in the day.

Urban myths & legends had more people killed by old school pressure cookers than sharks toasters killer whales snakes tumbleweeds etc.

I want to see Christine hard boil some eggs in it! STAT...while on her 3rd or 4th cup of coffee.

It's like she rolled around in Tang, shellac'ed Doritos dust all over, and then she nuked herself so that she glows. Santa could have slapped her to the front of his sleigh if Rudolph was unavailable.

Speaking of the decor - WTF was the thing on the metal stand to the right side of Robyn's door?  At first I thought it was a dress form, but the top looked like a rocket?

Probably too much spray tan/bronzer. Whoever is doing it isn't doing Meri any favors. Tanning salons might not be as healthy of a solution but she'd be better off getting some color that way.

Yup.  I found it for just under $200 at a vending machine company.  Maybe it came from the friendly pawn shop??

[LilWharveyGal]

Excellent investigative work, Roslyn!

[Galloway Cave]

That thing is gonna look real nice in the double wide she moves into after the gravy train dries up.

[Chris Knight]

Yeah, Robyn needs to keep her hair down. Her nose and chin always look like they are about to touch, and the updo I am sure accentuates that fact. She looks like a Century 21 Agent in that gold coat. 

Mykelti and FT both look very heavy. I hate seeing people so young that overweight. 

I don't think I have seen Kody that close to Christine in a long time. She's beautiful IMO and he's a fool. Janelle looks ok.

[Sista Snarky]

Maybe Robyn plans on riding  the rocket to Planet Kody when the time comes. 

[CofCinci]

We know Kody has penis envy for that rocket.

[Meowwww]

Robyn has Hapsburg chin https://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Habsburg-Jaw-And-Other-Royal-Inbreeding-Deformities-and-Disorders

And who spends 200$ on a gumball machine? Oh wait a grifter does, to collect the quarters.  

[toodles]

I've given the side eye to that gumball machine before.  I could be wrong, but I think she had that in rental.  I would put that in a game basement, but not in my entry way.  Stuff, stuff and more stuff.  No wonder she needs Mindy, her full time house elf to help her.   

PS:  I'm a Harry potter geek.  The house elf reference is a Harry potter reference in case you're scratching your head over the phrase.  House elfs are indentured servants who do their master's bidding.

[Quickbeam]

when I look at that wedding photo, all I see is Margene looking over Kody's right shoulder. Big Love!

1.  The gumball machine:  Now we know where Kody keeps his balls, and he only USES them at Robyn's, so he just picks them up at the door on the way in.

2.  Toodles, IIRC, you live in the Las Vegas area.  Next time I'm up that way, I want to meet you for coffee.  We can talk about Sisterwives and Harry Potter until Starbucks closes for the night.  LOL.

If you like Potter, go to Bad Owl. It's a Harry Potter themed coffee shop.

Looks awesome!  I'll go next time we're up that way.

It's really a neat place. They have cute mugs and things for sale, too. You'll be in likeminded company there!
