Some people thrive being independent and answering to no one, and others thrive by having a spouse and/or family. Robyn's a spouse/family person, while Janelle has always been more independent. Christine and Meri I see liking both worlds - spouse/family time interspersed with alone/friend time. Personally, I was alone for a lot of years, and I like being with my husband. I have no issue going away for a weekend without him, but I don't think I'd enjoy being apart for an extended period - I would wish he were with me! 3 I can't cut Robyn or any of them slack for any part of that Seattle trip. They seemed intent on putting down Hannah's life from even before they stepped into her elegant apartment. Christine clucking away about carrying groceries, it probably didn't occur to her that there is such a thing as grocery delivery, also Hannah is shopping for one person. I don't know how Hannah maintained her composure when they sat there in their dowdy garments boorishly tittering and giggling over hats that Hannah had designed, or in some cases carefully selected to be part of her inventory, going so far as to say that one of them looked like a toilet plunger. They could have said something like, "Oh, I'm not a hat person", but instead showed their rude, uncouth, selves by yee-hawing like the morons they are. Hannah has established a life for herself, she is worldly and sophisticated, and how she lives and what she sells seems to fit her perfectly. She showed a lot more restraint than I would have, there is no way I would have let them play "dress-up" by wearing the hats to lunch. 21 Link to comment

Thank you for expressing so eloquently EXACTLY what I wanted to say. I thought some of the Brown wives' comments were cutting and hurtful. If Hannah had showed them some watercolor paintings she had done, or maybe some holiday wreaths she had made or ceramic pottery she had thrown on her own pottery wheel - would they have been so rude? Art is art, regardless of the form. These are not only Hannah's creations but her livelihood, and at best the wives were thoughtless. And you don't take things out of a store and wear them around and then return them to the store to sell to someone else unless you are really uncouth. To me that is unethical - but I will grant the wives slack over that part because I have a feeling that was a TLC suggestion. Edited February 23, 2019 by Kyanight 13 Link to comment

Poor schooling, poor self esteem, infighting, comparisons with other sheep wives - the only thing they can do is make fun of someone who "wouldn't understand our lifestyle". I bet Hannah understands just fine and kudos to her for being so gracious to this lot of nincompoops. I guess they are so used to saying nasty things about each other that they don't have the common sense to keep it in the family and not disgrace themselves in public. No, wait, that involves self awareness, something in critically short supply among the Brown adults. 1 8 Link to comment

I also remember her talking about one of her sisters who was going to be getting a new wife and how upset and miserable she was, telling her to buck up and this is what the religion was about. I wonder if she would heed her own advice if Kody was to take a new wife. Yes it was all new with her and multiple times Christine and sometimes Janelle echoed the fact that Robyn and her kids got more attention from Kody. But you have to give it to them for sticking with the fambly even when they would probably like to leave. No, I don't think she would. I really think Robyn would flip out if that happened. She always been the one most adamant that Kody won't take on another wife. The way she bragged about the constant honeymoon phase of marriage to make sure Kody was always happy, getting her kids to call him Dad and run happy to him. The way she lectures everyone else about polygamy and how to be a sister wife like she's the expert even though she's new to it. Also, a little bit from Christine she said in the first season she didn't understand why Meri and Janelle had a problem with her when she courted and married Kody until he was courting and marrying Robyn then she got to know how all that felt. Robyn came in with a goal and plan to be the favorite, remain the favorite and do all she could to make Kody and manipulate and still does to get everything she wants. She has no real competition anymore since ousting Meri and Meri's catfish/cheating thing and Kody has never cared about Janelle or Christine to ever worry her. The only thing that could change it would be a new wife. 11 Link to comment

Apartments might not actually be possible. Most have rules as to how many kids you can have in a bedroom and very specific rules about how old boys/girls can be and be sharing a room. I know in Ohio there used to be a law you couldn't have brothers and sisters in the same room once the oldest turned 12 or 13. I'm not sure of the ages and how many kids each mom has who are still living at home, except for Mary having just one kid who is out on her own anyway, so I don't know how many apartments might be an issue for. I guess they could in theory maybe rent 4 and say some of the kids lived with Mary or even rent 5 and say some lived with Kody, but I honestly don't see either one of those happening. 5 Link to comment

I would so enjoy watching Kootie court and "marry" another wife. It won't happen. Robyn has him by the balls. I doubt if Christine and Janelle get a conjugal visit more than once a month, if that.

Boy did he miscalculate on getting high $600K for their houses. Listed at $599,000 now and still sitting.....He won't even clear enough now to pay for the land they purchased in Flagstaff, never mind the houses they need to build on the land. Of course he miscalculated...he's an idiot. So much more goes into deciding the listing price of a house! Um...like COMPS?!? Did he bother to run comps for similar homes that sold, in similar neighborhoods, RECENTLY? To get a feel for what he could expect to fetch? You can't just say "the average price in Nevada per sq/ft is XYZ, so we should get XYZ". That's not how it works. So many more elements go into pricing right. Like age of home, location of home--even in a cul de sac, butting against a loud, busy street would be a deal-breaker for me, also neighborhoods aren't all created equal, amenities in the home--pool/no pool, and the biggest factor of all, all 5 homes clustered together, at one end of a cult de sac, are for sale at the same time. AND all owned by polygamists on a reality show!! That's gotta affect pricing, no? That's gott be a tougher sell because it's a unique situation--and real estate generally doesn't favor "unique". Most buyers, when getting into the biggest investment of their lives don't want unique. When I buy a house, I always question, "how quickly can I sell this home if I need to?" Did he even ask that lump, the hottest realtor in town, Janelle her opinions? Does she even have any? She obviously had no input in the dazzling pitch--even though it was heavy with real estate points. He didn't bother asking her because she doesn't know anything either, probably knows less than he does! 1 10 Link to comment

Who is loaning them all this cash? I suspect he recently refinanced and the appraisals of all 4 homes came back in the 600ks. So he cashed out, pocketed the 'profits' of around 200k each and is now listing the homes for what the bank appraised them. That's how he became flush with cash and decided upon his asking prices. also want to clear up a little thing....a lot of posters mention a 'balloon payment coming due'. It's not one (or 4) balloon payment that comes due when the interest-only loan expires... it's a PRINCIPLE + INTEREST mortgage payment X 4, that now is due EVERY month. And the principle payment is also higher because he hasn't been making any payments towards it for 7 years. It was madness that he took on 4 expensive homes in that manner. Or he knew all along he would be getting out of town the minute the interest only loans were up--which actually sounds like what he does on the regular... Kody's not as stupid, financially-speaking, as a lot of people seem to think, but he is taking some pretty huge risks, (like the 4 homes not selling quickly) and making a lot of work for himself. All that bank wheeling-dealing is very time-consuming and takes a lot of effort to keep those plates spinning in the air. And for a guy that moved eleventy-billion times, he knows dick about real estate. Edited February 24, 2019 by VedaPierce 4 2 6 Link to comment

I need to rewatch this episode because once Meri said, "I like EDGE, I have to have EDGE," I started laughing like a hyena and pretty much missed everything after that point. I believe she's confusing an utter lack of fashion sense (a la LulaRoe) with "edge." Maybe Hannah needs to design a hat for Kody that covers his dreadful hair. He makes a mockery of the term "crowning glory" with that crispy shit rapidly disappearing from the top of his inflated head. Meri is confusing edgy fashion with awful fashion. She probably thinks if no one gets it, it's avant-garde. Just look at the hideous brown Naugahyde dress she designed and commissioned for their Commitment Ceremony. She tries on an ugly hat, Christine et al recoil in confusion and dislike, Meri thinks she's an edgy fashion genius that is ahead of her time and misunderstood. 5 3 Link to comment

Exactly. Hanna was being gracious and they showed their ass. There is plenty of conflict without this behavior. They were haughty because she chose to walk away from their lifestyle. The religion encourages that thought because they remain faithful and she is the outcast.

They could have said something like, "Oh, I'm not a hat person", but instead showed their rude, uncouth, selves by yee-hawing like the morons they are. Hannah has established a life for herself, she is worldly and sophisticated, and how she lives and what she sells seems to fit her perfectly. She showed a lot more restraint than I would have, there is no way I would have let them play "dress-up" by wearing the hats to lunch. OMG. It seriously did not even dawn on me that some of their comments may have been hurtful to Hannah! It's not like they were just in some random store; those were hats that Hannah designed. Now, granted, they weren't all my cup of tea, but I thought some of them were quite lovely. If I were trying them on, I would've said that the ones I didn't like were not suited to my head or face shape, not that they looked like flying saucers or toilet plungers! I did think it was nice that Janelle and Christine complimented her by saying they wanted to be her when they grew up. But now if I go back and view that scene again, I will look at it from a whole different perspective. Edited February 25, 2019 by Gothish520 4 Link to comment
deirdra February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 I was rewatching part of this episode to see the "bonus scenes", hoping to see more rationale from Kody explaining how he knew the LV real estate market was peaking in 2019 instead of say, 2021, or 2035 when Areola graduates from high school. No such luck. I cannot help but think whatever scam he was running & "liquidating" with his good friend from way back, Brian, or some of his other scams are driving him out of the state. 2 Link to comment

It was very early in the introduction to the family that the viewers were made aware of Dayton's special needs. Kody dismissed the doctor's diagnoses of Dayton as him "just being quirky". You would think that if Robyn were a responsible mother, she would have ensured that a potential step-father had a full understanding of Dayton's needs. Common sense must have eventually prevailed, as Dayton seems to have blossomed into a fine young man, despite Kody. Actually, this might have been one time when Kody got it right. 1 Link to comment

In my opinion, with his hair off his face, he actually looks younger than he is. And of course, far less dirty and psycho. I think that he would look even better without the facial hair. Ummm, he maybe trying to develop a biblical, Moses kind of look though. 2 Link to comment

I thought they bought land and were building houses right next to each other. What about Meri? Christine said she couldn't find a rental that allowed cats so she had to buy. Edit to add: Sorry I lost track of what page I was quoting from, this was obviously answered long ago Edited May 10, 2019 by Joan of Argh Clarity 2 Link to comment
