S08.E07: The Newlyweds vs The Browns

[Galloway Cave]

Quote

The Brown family decides to play a game to see who knows each other better: the newlyweds, the newly-engaged older kids or Kody and his four wives.

TWO HOURS of this shit? TLC really is trying to kill us.

[Kohola3]

Good God, a Brown Clown version of Family Feud.  Bet they replay the same questions and answers at each commercial break.   Who cares?

[Sista Snarky]

I predict opening TH sessions from parents saying "Maddie recently got married" as if we don't know this already...complete with flashbacks to the wedding...that have been like a constant flood... for the last month.

Hopefully we're spared the standard  "2 years ago I started talking to a person online" TH/flashbacks by Meri....

Good thing FT knows how to stuff meat & cheese in tortillas to achieve "perfect to marry my daughter" status with Christine.

Why can't they do this game in a 30 minute episode?

[RealityCowgirl]

So that's tonight's show, not just a lame promo? Browns, you suck. TLC, you suck more.

[Maire]

This is where I get off. No way I can even DVR this boring crap.

[leighroda]

Ok seriously, weekly 2 hour episodes!? It would be one thing if the episodes contained more new info than can fit in a hour of tv... but not only are these freaking long, they are majority clip shows rehashing what just happened LAST MONTH. I think I'm going to tweet them "ohhhh I didn't know maddie and Mykelti are married, I hadn't heard anything about it in the media...congrats" that would drive them crazy that someone doesn't know...lol.

Victoria is starting on my pbs station tonight.  It's on as the same time as sister wives.  Count me out.  Besides, this sounds just too stupid even for this show.  I didn't think the bar could be any lower and once again tlc exceeded my expectations.

Janelle says we will laugh.

Oh great, clip show-quiz show. Just saw this on Kate Plus 8. Must be TLC mandate.

I highly doubt it.  Gag, maybe.

[leighroda]

We'll if Jenelles says I'm gonna laugh... sure they can have another 2 hours of my life.

[AZChristian]

The preview clip shows the question, "Who will be the next to marry?"  Tony replies, "Kody."

I have officially changed my opinion of Tony.  That took cojones.

Tony has grown on me.

I'm just glad we won't have to hear Christine whisper, "We're going to play a Brown family newlywed game", as if the Browns are so fucking special and created newlywed games. I'm sick of hearing them say, "Brown Family" everytime they do anything. Could you imagine? Our last name is Trent. I can't even fathom third personing everything we do. We're going to have a Trent family dinner. Let's go on a Trent family Starbucks run. Emily needs to take her car on a Trent family trip to jiffy lube. It gets on my damn nerves.

There Kody goes with the"I have this many years of marriage experience!" just because he is married to four women.

That whole, "I'm a polygamist" schtick once again.

[CofCinci]

If Tyler Baltierra is watching tonight, he cried during that preview for TLC's new "Long Lost Family."

[Nowhere]

And it's always Christine. I swear she worships Kody for real.

btw I don't know if they were third personing but I do know third personing isn't a word. I've stopped editing so much for y'all because it's been long enough and you should love and accept me by now lol.

[CofCinci]

Poor Christine -- the only one to get her first kiss at the altar.

Janelle doesn't remember her first kiss because they still haven't kissed.

Meri, the monogamist, remembers the exact date and time.

(And you know Meri and Christine were looking at their mental calendars for the description of Robyn and Kody's first kiss....  Chances are he kissed her long before the wives knew Robyn was a prospective wife.)

Kody is sitting in that chair like I did when I watched ALF at eight-years-old.  Just when I didn't think my eyes could roll any farther back in my head while watching this complete joke of a show.

Great...now we're seeing clips of Kody with...
...his hair!

Heaven help us!

I think you mean a Brown fambly newlywed game. 

[Sista Snarky]

This game is annoying enough. Meri has to be Debbie Downer with her lost "Lover" name. ?

[Nowhere]

Kody's 78 years of marriage would be what most of us call cheating with a secret family like an asshole. But since it's all accepted, he gets credit for half assing his way through 20 years? I think not.

And here we go with Christine talking about polygamist games vs monogamous games. Jesus. Shut the fuck up christine. We get it. Polygamy is the shit and you're better than everyone else.

I imagine she's going to watch that Lover flashback clip while listening to Q Lazzarus' 'Goodbye Horses' in the background.

Thank you for the reminder!! I've watched "the young Victoria" 14 times in the past week, looking forward to this PBS show! 

[VioletNevermind]

God, this is torture.  These are the kinds of details that only interest the actual subjects of the questions and maybe the most devoted family members.  I don't care that Kody calls Meri "lover" (HA), much less what FT thinks Mykelti's best physical feature is.

Again, what the hell is up with the eyebrows on some of these girls/women?  Mariah's are particularly bad.  They're the exact shade of her hair.  Ease up on that cinnamon brow pencil, girlfriend.

You're welcome.  If it's half as good as The Crown, I'll be happy.  Browns at the very bottom of my viewing list.

I've not watched SW in years, but it hasn't stopped me from enjoying and participating in the snark. 

[CofCinci]

I wonder if Tony and Mykelti will go plural now.  Poor FT probably thinks he just got the greenlight for a threesome.  No buddy, sorry.

[Sista Snarky]

See Meri & Mariah are fine. Nobody is gonna have to pull Meri off a ledge...

[Nowhere]

Kody admits to being a narcissist. 

Im actually enjoying this episode. 

[TurtlePower]

Haven't seen this episode yet (maybe tomorrow). Dreading it. I don't see another season of SW after this season--it's become very boring. 

[Sista Snarky]

Pizza doesn't count in Nevada Utah or Montana. ?

BRAIN BLEACH!!!!!!

[Galloway Cave]

Thank god the second hour is another stupid clip show that I can ignore. Those were some boring-ass questions. I still don't know how the hell they scored the game. 

[Armchair Critic]

Nice way of Kody to make sure none of the kids dare speak up and complain about Robyn joining the family by asking them all together in front of the camera (and I think in front of Robyn too). What an asshat.

[Sista Snarky]

An entire hour devoted to Robyn...

I reached for the remote to change the channel so fiercely that I'm Googling 'symptoms of whiplash'.

And we enjoy your snark. I put the show on then I play online or do other things and I look up when I hear something snarkworthy. For me this isn't a show like 'Lost' or 'Mad Men' that I feel like I have to pay full attention to. 

[Nowhere]

Robyn said they were investigating bigamy. Why would the brown family be worried about that investigation? I'm genuinely asking?

I'm honored. Truly.

[giaNtsandYankees]

Is it me, or does Robyn's sobyn during the scene where she's talking about "this being her fourth time moving" and she'd "always thought she'd be here (Utah)" seem rather contrived?

Edited January 16, 2017 by giaNtsandYankees

[Morgalisa]

Could only take an hour of this crapfest. I'm  wondering why I continue to watch. I think I'm waiting for something to happen. I don't know what. It's crazy.

Robin has not aged well. That last pregnancy was not easy on her, plus the throwing up all the time. It's not just the aging. She is low energy and looks unwell to me. And she is kind of young for that double chin. She kind of looks like she has dental issues, misaligned jaw or something. 

I hope they've saved a lot of money because this show is on the ropes. And going to 2 hour episodes is hurting, not helping it. And I really don't care which kid gets married next. Now if Kody gets married,  I would hate watch the hell out of that!

[Baby Button Eyes]

I haven't read the thread yet to see if others are bugged by this but the second clip show episode tonight just seems like a clip show of "how many times has Robyn cried" in 6 years of filming. Wow, this is getting on my nerves!

[Rabbittron]

This episode not watching but reading all your snark just proves what I have said this show has jumped the shark?

Haha! If I knew that we were going to have a "How many times has Robyn cried..." clip show, I would have organized a drinking game! We'd take a shot with every clip of Robyn "Sobyn!" ?

How do the wives legally change their name when they're not legally married. In order to get a new ss card, don't you have to prove either marriage or divorce?
