S10.E01: Meri, On Her Own...

My guess is that they've all seen everything, but won't admit it to one another to feign consideration for Kody's poor widdle man-feelings.  These women need each other to fall from grace in order to move up the Kody Totem Pole (eww) so there's no way they all haven't looked and listened to Meri's shenanigans to file away and smug over.  I'm surprised none of them has invited Meri to dinner and served banana bread and fried catfish.

Robyn did very cunningly dress Sol in Batman pj's when the whole mess came to light.  Of all the superheroes little kids like, it just had to be Batman.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.

[SunnyBeBe]

Robyn should be careful about throwing out an accusation against her husband and father of her children that he gets aggressive with her.  That's how she described Kody when he showed exasperation with Meri's unsound business plan.  That kind of term has serious negative connotations and should not be thrown out there without solid evidence and accuracy.  That would seriously bother me, if it was not true.  For a women who is deathly afraid of social services coming....she needs to make sure she's telling the truth when throwing out those kind of comments.

They all coddle Meri and I don't think that is helping her. She will never get over the catfishing unless she finally accepts some responsibility for her choices.  She has to stop talking about her imaginary walls and get real about what happened to her and her family needs to get real with her as well. They need to stop coddling her. Maybe then her pitty party will finally end.

Oh I've been wanting the family to let Meri have it for years. I mean, really lay into her. But, she's "still there" so, the coddling and eggshell walking continues, I guess.

Yeahhhhhh....I agree!!   The thing is.....  there is always accountability for our choices.  If Meri hadn't been willing to be drawn in by this catfish because she was wanting romance, NOTHING would have happened to her.  She wasn't an innocent victim run over by a drunk driver... she made conscious choices to "stray" outside of her marriage (I use quotes because it wasn't physical, just emotional) and therefore it is ridiculous to feel sorry for herself for YEARS afterwards.  When something happens to ME, I tell myself, "Well that's what I get for doing ________ (whatever I did)".   Sometimes our choices blow up in our faces - but we made the conscious choice to do whatever it was, so it doesn't make sense to then blame everything and everyone else for what WE CHOSE to do.    I honestly feel like Meri believes that her family should feel sorry for her, that she was duped.  That's why she brought Kristie over for the dinner.  See?  Other people were duped, too!  Meri had no business involving herself in an online romance, being married to a man and three other women. (Yeah, yeah, I know - but there IS a commitment of sorts to the other wives!)   At least Kristie was single.  You reap what you sow, so stop crying about your withered crops.

So in the beginning of the episode Meri said she had to put 40% down on the purchase of the bed and breakfast because it was a business loan.  Then she said she had $40,000 already and needed $40,000 more for the down payment, for a total of $80,000.  Does that mean the B&B only cost $200,000?

You bring up an interesting thought, Sunny!  Robyn was always accusing her ex of being aggressive with her, and painted him as a pretty awful guy, actually.  Maybe Robyn's definition of "aggression" is exaggerated, and what she perceives as aggression is actually just a strong opinion which differs from her own.

The numbers don't add up.  Someone did a title search on the Parowan property and there was a mortgage of $302,000. registered against it.

I literally laughed out loud when Kody lamented about spending 3 years talking about leaving Las Vegas and his wives “shut him down” every time.  What a strong patriarch-of-the-family “leader”!  Way to “shepherd” your subservient wives, Kody!!! LOL. I’m sure his Brethren would be proud...

The dynamic around that table was fascinating. Commentary has focused on Meri vs everybody, but Christine ordered Kody to "stop" three times and Robyn literally told him to shut up. I know in past seasons people have surmised that off camera he was more controlling than he cared to show, but If it was true, it doesn't seem to be working any more. They shut him down to the point he had to leave the room.

Poor Ysabel. They are torturing her over stopping something she has no power over, putting her through physical suffering. If surgery is likely inevitable, let her have high school without the discomfort of the brace and the time spent on the useless "training"  now, before whatever physical limitations she may face after surgery.  Investigate the surgery and see what exercises will help her bounce back quicker and stronger from it.  Find people who have had it and live their best lives.

i don't mind the catfishing storyline. I understand they're omitting the infidelity aspect, but I can see where Meri wants people to understand that this person is an actual predator, and predators succeed because they are really good and thorough about what they do. Yes, her faults were used against her, but it wasn't casually done - it was a full scale operation by someone who does this full time. She wasn't simply betrayed by a jerk - she was targeted by a skilled manipulator. And I don't doubt for a second that Kody would fall for somebody posing as a sweet fundamentalist gal looking for plural marriage (especially if she just inherited a lot of $$/property from a deceased parent/husband and wanted to bring it to share with the family she never had cause she can't have kids).

If the mortgage of $302,000 is 60% of the sales price that means Meri paid $503,000 for the B&B.  It also means her down payment should have been $200,000 not $40,000.  

The numbers are what I'm after lol.  I want to know how they make it all work.  I'm stumped on how they came up with the $800K for the Flagstaff lots, and the money for 4 rents in Flagstaff, and how Maddie and Caleb pay the rent on their house a block away from the Cul-De-Sac in Las Vegas.

I don't get Meri's thought process, even if she brings forward dozens of people who were Catfished by that same person, it still doesn't diminish the fact she was looking for romance and was planning on leaving the family for the Catfish.

Exactly.  She seems to believe that being catfished, somehow negates the fact that she was all set to leave Kody.

Meri may have refinanced the house after she purchased, she is probably doing well enough now (for now) to qualify for a higher mortgage on her own.

I haven't seen "pitchers" of the interior of the house since she bought, but the kitchen was pretty outdated and the wallpaper screamed 1980's.  She may also have converted that shed in the yard to something livable so she would have her own little nest when visiting, without occupying a room that could be rented out in the main house.  It wouldn't take long to whistle through that additional $300,000 if she did those improvements, plus any mechanical features such as plumbing, heating etc. that may have needed updating.

She has sunk so much into this project, I hope she never intends to sell, the location is the pits.

 

Maddie and Caleb may have qualified for Section 8 housing, there was something last year about him having to quit work due to health issues.  They also keep making noises about returning to school, but so far that's all it is.  Noise.

I've just watched this farce this a.m, and read page 1 of the comments so far.  Love you guys and your humor!  So fun to read.

I read somewhere they make $1 Million per season total from TLC.  That money is then split however Kody and the wives decide.  Not sure if they filter it down to the next level (Mykeltie, Mariah, Maddie) as they have storylines on the show.  I would assume there is some type of payment to them but it may be under the table.

The way I understand it, TLC/Sharpe makes a lump sum payment to Brown Family Enterprises (a name something like that) and Kody and Janelle sit down and decide how the money is to be distributed.  Allotments for the kids are probably doled out on number of appearances on the show.  I hope Maddie was well compensated for making a spectacle of herself on the birthing episode.

This is what imagine to be the case, and I actually do think the Brown's would be more fair in distributing money to adult children than say, Jim Bob Duggar.

ugh - I just want to kick Meri. She is just playing victim now. She acts like she deserves the 40K for the ordeal she went through, she brought it on herself. She acts like she was innocent in the whole thing, that is why she is bringing the other ladies around so that it makes her look like..."see it happened to them too"... however, those ladies were SINGLE...  So now that the 5 year mark is approaching, most likely they are fleeing Nevada due to their balloon payments on the cult-de-sac homes...maybe they can't get another interest only loan in the state of NV and have to move to a different state ?  I hated myself for 2 hours last night agreeing with Cody about Meri being selfish...

See, this is why I think they're moving. The payments are due. I also think they figured they'd leave before those payments were due, hence Kody's, "I never intended to stay in Las Vegas." I think they're so lucky they still have the show to keep them afloat.

Ugh, the "Catfish Story-line" again this season. That subject has been over-fried and overdone.

Also this episode was just another dragged out session based on the Parawan house that we all KNOW Meri obtained made made into "Lizzie's Heritage."

I agree Meri is very immature and selfish as to how she handled things as far as the money goes.

 

The family: "Meri, we can find a way to help you."

Meri: "But I don't want you being a part of my business."

 

It's almost reminiscent of Meri being so adamant on having a wet bar for her home, and a lot of space, promising to host family events, or events for the kids. Did this ever happen?! Of course this time, Meri wants the money with no promises on her end.

On a superficial note, I wish Meri would lay off the faux tans, the hair bleach and the eyebrow pencils.

 

 

This season's going to be a boring one...

Is it for swingers or something? Is it nudist? Huh? Huh? So curious. 

I have to say, I enjoyed Kody's giving Meri a hard time about the Parowan house. She deserves shit. She tries to cheat on her family, brought a psycho into their lives, and continues to be an asshole to everyone, as though she's so innocent. I hate to seem as though on Kody's side at any time, but I wouldn't try to pursue anything with Meri either. "Stay or don't stay, but I got my hands full with 3 other wives and a bajillion kids.

I would think not. I know that the show was on the verge of cancellation, or at least there was rumblings - but then Cody I guess desperately pleaded to stay on the air, took a paycut - so I really do think they are hurting for money. I mean Christine looks to be driving around in a 60K Infinity SUV  Other than the show,  the joolry probably only brings in a couple of thousand a year if lucky, Strive by Janelle ( as I try to keep a straight face) I assume have a membership fee ? ( Hopefully they also have a refund policy ) and what is this mysterious business venture Cody is doing ?

One of our very own posters stayed at the (in)famous B&B last summer... read the recap here!  

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on their wall at a Brown episode viewing when they (well, Meri) sees everyone else's one-on-one interviews and learns they really think about her.

Their treatment of Ysabel's scoliosis Truly pisses me off. They scare Ysabel into believing that surgery will be horrible yet here she is getting worse. The reality is she went from 40 to 42. It is getting worse. As someone with uncorrected scoliosis, one spinal fusion, one discectomy, another disk ready to blow and constant lower back pain, I can only beg those idiot parents to get her surgery done when she graduates high school and can take a bit of time to recover.

If I were Janelle, Christine and Robyn I would have said to Meri, "We'll scrape together the $40,000, but in order to protect the investment you probably should be there most/all of the time to act as the caretaker/manager/etc.  We'll really miss you, but we understand that's the place you need to be."  $40,000 to be rid of Meri except for a few "very special episodes" where she shows up for some major family event seems like a pretty cheap price to pay for peace and quiet on the homefront.  Plus, then her empty house in Las Vegas could be used for the grandchildren.  Problem solved!

I do feel horrible for Ysabel. She really did seem to be beating herself up a lot. And it sounds like she can’t play with friends, do any after school activities, sports, etc. because of her “exercise” schedule. Between the pressure her parents are putting on her with these exercises and the lack of relationships with kids outside the family, she has to feel very alone. That poor girl.

Ha ha!  Good one.  I also feel bad for Ysabel.  If she had the surgery she might have time for after school activities, etc.  It's a quality of life issue....it would cure not only her back, but also take away stress, free up time, etc.

I think Meri was fine with everything when she was the #1 only-one-that's-actually-legal wife.  I think everything changed for her when the divorce and legal marriage to Robyn happened.  She doesn't have the personality to be just another-in-the-crowd sister wife.

Good parenting, once again, letting a quack sell you on useless exercises, while your daughter's spine curvature gradually worsens.  I am sympathetic with Ysabel, however I was maddened watching Christine's hysterics over the brace last season.  Unpleasant, painful, embarrassing...I get it.  But letting your daughter see a back brace as the worst thing possible, letting her see you crying at the thought of her next xray?  Was that helpful?  Was that constructive or empowering?  Take her to volunteer at a children's hospital.  Let her see bald two-year-olds fighting Leukemia.  Or better yet, YOU and Little Lord Fauntleroy go do that.  Then maybe you can gain some perspective, and help your daughter to be a stronger woman.

[smarty]

One of the reasons Christine was upset that Ysabel would have to have surgery for her scoliosis was that Ysabel would have a scar in her wedding dress.  Princess Eugenie had her scoliosis surgery when she was 12 and she proudly showed her surgery scar in her wedding gown. It's one thing to feel badly about the pain Ysabel will go through with the surgery and recovery but worrying about scars is the least of Ysabel's future issues.

People are forgetting that surgery is not on the table until her curvature reaches 50 degrees - until then their doctor said the exercises wouldn't hurt. Maybe to them it seems weird and cruel to just stop trying and let the curvature reach the surgery point?

You made me think, so I googled and read up on it.  On the site I found it said over 40 degrees they suggest surgery - although this particular doctor on the show might wait until 50 and other sites may state other things.  There surely isn't an easy answer - I just feel sorry for her.

I know, the poor girl. At this point it does seem like getting the surgery is the best option. If over 40 is a reasonable standard, then it seems they are just delaying the inevitable.

Absolutely no pictures of “Sam” other the half pic of a actor/ models face. “He’s “ divorced   and has three kids since the fiasco ended.

Absolutely no pictures of “Sam” other the half pic of a actor/ models face. “He’s “ divorced   and has three kids since the fiasco ended. Travels non stop and still pushing  “ his” two books about Meri and his love story. 

Oh THANKS A LOT!!!  I had MERCIFULLY forgotten those awful books!  Like ANYONE who has a brain cell believes that a millionaire businessman writes books without even rudimentary writing skills.

Has anyone ever bought "Sam's" book about Meri?  Curious if there is any dirt on the Sister Wives in it.
