S09.E07: Risking Arrest

[Granny58]

I moved a lot as a kid and it was fine.  Its not that they moved that destroyed Paedon...it's that he didn't have time to process it.  Utah didn't hurt him...his parents did that

So Dayton whose mom is the legal wife and is not the Kodester's bio son gets a pass, but Paedon gets pressured to go? He admitted to everyone that the move to Vegas was very hard for him. If he doesn't want to go don't make him go. Wonder if Logan is going to cave.

Christine gets so hysterical about it, I can't blame Paedon for not wanting to get involved.

[tabloidlover]

I’m getting really angry at them for claiming “no pressure” on anyone to go March, yet they are trying to guilt trip Paedon.  Lay the fuck off of Paedon!!!

Paedon, the voice of reason.

Thank you! Paedon should have gotten up and walked out when he heard Cody tell Dayton it was his choice.  Then I hear Paedon is 18, good gosh....he’s an adult.  Leave him alone!

[Sasha888]

Ugh, those hideous chairs with the ridiculously high backs!!!! I can't even concentrate on what's being said due to the extreme fugliness of those chairs!!!

[jacksgirl]

Polygamy may be growing, but not from the Brown family Robyn. So far, you are Zero for at least 3 or 4 adult kids. Not Logan, Mariah, Mykelti or I think Aspyn are gonna most likely practice polygamy.

[tabloidlover]

Curious why they didn’t show Logan’s response to the question of attending.  Pretty positive he didn’t go

[LucyEth]

Did Meri say Mariah was probably not going and that she said it is not her issue?

[Sasha888]

Meri - It's shocking and disappointing to me that Paedon's like "No, I don't want to do this."

Me - Meri, your shirt is shocking and disappointing to me. It looks like a bad carpet pattern from the 70's.

Guess we're both shocked and disappointed, aren't we? ;-)

[MoodyGirl]

Wow—Robyn was looking rough in the kitchen with no makeup. 

[ThinkerBell]

Kody and his wives love to feel like martyrs for 'the cause'. I have no idea when this march was, but I have a feeling it was the day when a bunch of polygamists didn't get arrested.

[LucyEth]

No morning check in with Meri?  He stopped at the other 3 homes and had breakfast with Robyn.  I think he is totally uninterested in Meri now, but would never tell her it's over because of the Mariah and the rest of the family.

[ginger90]

Really?

[mythoughtis]

Openness has blessed them how exactly? 

 

Meri - divorced and Kodyless, and catfished.  

Janelle - jobless. With her boomerang daughter and son in law 

Christine- Truely almost died. Mykelti married at a young age to FT 

Robyn. Enough said 

 

So, they want polygamy  because it’s their religion and it should be respected. But, hey, Caleb and Maddie go against your religion to publicly support us.

Where was the wailing and gnashing of teeth when they went back to Utah for the wedding or the B&B or ... anything?

[Granny58]

Holy cow!!!!  Drewfus is there!!!!!!

[Sasha888]

Robyn is developing Muppet Brow Syndrome. It's spreading from wife to wife, and mother to daughter. Dear God, make it stop!

[Galloway Cave]

And Enoch Foster, from the new show coming up- Three Wives and One Husband.

[tabloidlover]

Omg - we still have 30 minutes to go

 

i wasn’t going to drink tonight, but was forced to fill up the wineglass just to get through it

Lol! Yep the Brineys showed up—-Angela was big and pregnant then. 

Wow what a dull episode. My daughter came in the room and asked what’s going on with the sister wives? I was like nothing. Absolutely nothing. ?

Meri’s take on it:

I seriously doubt any legislator feels "threatened" by anyone's happiness.

And Meri, sweetheart, if you want to imply some plural families are happy, whatevs. I suppose it's possible. But don't you dare try to imply that YOU are happy with yours. Because I will call bullshit on that every time.

[tabloidlover]

Well shit.  I just saw Logan briefly.  Guess I was wrong

[JustDuckie]

I'll bet Mykelti and FT will march if there's a street taco cart at the end.

No tacos--------no Tony.

[LucyEth]

I hope Christine doesn't start singing!

[happygirl]

Did anyone recognize any of the families at the pre-march gathering?  I saw the Briney's and Darger's and Foster's.  But there were some I didn't recognize.

[Sasha888]

I see Angela and Drew from Seeking Sister Wife...so according to Robyn, polygamist can't be lawyers, but there's Drew the lawyer, at the meeting the night before the march...hmmm.

Wanna try that again Robyn, and get your facts straight this time?

THAT more than any plyg reason will land her in the pokey! Hope Robyn has the necessary bail $.

Gee...everyone is fine...big surprise!!

Was there any law enforcement there?  Looked like the march was a bust.  They made such a big deal about it and it seemed very low key.

[Awfarmington]

Wasn’t it Mariah who wondered aloud why Meri had funky eyebrows? Pot, meet kettle. 

[Galloway Cave]

Not a cop in sight. The only negative voices heard were from those who were anti-polygamy (the gals from Escaping Polygamy were part of that group). No arrests and no threats. All that angst for nothing. That could have been a half hour show.

For someone who is scared of everything, Christine sure did jump up there, whipped that microphone out of the "broken" stand and launched in to quite a speech. And by the way, your family has been out for longer than 6 years.

Wonder how the kids are going to feel when they eventually figure out their parents were under no threat of arrest when they moved to LV. Talk about therapy bills.

Looks like Donia Jessop was one that was there that I didn't recognize.

[tabloidlover]

There were fewer than 100 people there...   how very dramatic ?

Yeah...I'm pretty sure there were more people at my wedding than there were at this rally.

And probably 25% were reporters or TLC staff. 

What a boring un-event.  Clearly there is no interest, even among polygamists (at least those without a a TV show), in legalizing polygamy.  It's a dead issue. Stick a fork in it.

[mythoughtis]

Being as I could only take a few minutes of the show, I missed the actual rally. What did they attribute the poor attendance to? Wait, don’t tell me, -fear. That was the drinking game word. My personal opinion is that it was lack of interest. Thee aren’t that many polygamists. 

[Sasha888]

Janelle - Christine's probably the only person I know who could be told she had to speak in front of 300 or 400 people in 15 minutes and do it gracefully.

Um...not buying that there were 300 to 400 people there, Janelle.

I will say this though...Christine's probably the only person I know who'd give a speech in that outfit. 

Holy dancing Moses. Looked like she borrowed a shirt from a huge man, and then wore it over red long underwear.

[jenifaohjenny]

That...was awful. And overly dramatic. And ridiculous. 

Robyn staying home for the good of the children? Puhleeze!!! 

All the families at the march seemed to be on a TLC paycheck...or hoping for their own show!

I am personally rooting for a surprise ending where Kody gets dragged away in handcuffs with Janelle and Meri clutching his ankles, sobbing.  Between the four wives they can't come up with enough money to bail him out, and it's revealed he is still being held in a Utah jail to this day. Cut to scenes of all his wives much happier without him around and getting along a thousand times better. The end.

Hilarious!!

[Maire]

Second week in a row I didn't even make it through the first hour. Cancellation would be a merciful death (for the viewers).

Aspyn probably will. She's with that guy from their Church. 

Mariah was all about it until she decided that she'd rather have just the sister wife, and no hubby.

I am of the singular opinion that Kody would just love, love to be arrested. Then he can actually have something to complain about, be a martyr, be the Rosa Parks of plyg rights and have a storyline that just keeps giving. Quiet as it is kept, the main reason he likely objected to the Women's March was because he thought it could overshadow the Utah event (I won't even deign to call that a march)   

Did that fool really fix his mouth to say that plural families commit welfare fraud because the state forces them to hide? Ain't no one forcing these fools to have more kids than they can afford and than frauding taxpayers to pay for them. GTFO!!!

With FT temporarily out of the scene, I'm back to seeing Kody as the complete self-centered jackass that he is. All is right with the world!

I would love this, but only if he was arrested for anything BUT polygamy.  In my city, it's illegal to have an inoperable, unlicensed car on the street.  Maybe he could get hauled away for that?  Or perhaps he's forgotten to return some library books?  

I think you are correct about the wives getting along better without Kody in the picture.  The competition for attention would end and tensions would ease measurably.    

Do you believe they are really competing for Kody's attention at this point?  I get the impression all the wives are over it.   Even Sobbin' Robyn doesn't seem as smitten as she was prior to popping out her last kid. 

[Kyanight]

Sorry if someone else already said this......

 

Did anyone else notice that for the first HOUR of the show they made a huge deal of asking everyone if they were going to go and support the family..... I mean EVERYBODY... EXCEPT FT and Mykelti?  Now why is that?  They weren't even mentioned.  It was like they don't even exist.  Do they live far away or something?

And Angela.  Auralee and April must have stayed at home to watch the kids.

[toodles]

Oh good god.  These people wind themselves up and make a big, fat hairy deal out of marching in a rally.  They are back and forth to Utah frequently so they aren't sneaking  in during the dead of night.  Meri took her dog to a Utah vet to be put down so it can't be that bad.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for them?  I don't get what  they're trying to do here.  They are at the bottom of the list for criminals.  I don't know.  I guess I'm done.
