Galloway Cave 14,480 March 31, 2019 Quote Kody sees the plan for his one giant polygamous house and loves them, but his wives may not; just weeks away from leaving their homes in Las Vegas, tensions run high; Robyn presses Kody to settle down and Gabe walks out. BlahBlahBlah. When is this season over?? 2 14 Share this post Link to post
Sandy W 33,091 March 31, 2019 Yay for Gabe! I hope he sticks to it and maybe a friend's family will take him in, forcing Kody and Janelle to pay room and board for him for the remainder of his high school days. Such a shame that his academic and athletic achievements were so callously tossed aside on a whim of his father and jelly-kneed actions of his mother. 37 Share this post Link to post

Tuxcat 15,363 April 1, 2019 A supposed "perk" of polygamy( besides the obvious for Kody), is that you have more women in the household to raise the kids and to be a family. But these wives do not like each other and don't even want to see each other. So what is the perk for them? They haven't functioned as "one family" for a long time. At this point the only reason Kody wants to build this ridiculous house is that he's tired of traveling house to house. He just wants to be the center and have the wives revolve around him. In reality they are just 3 and half separate families...Time to rename the show. 23 Share this post Link to post

Robyn kept going on about memories attached to a place, making me think maybe she never had that. I did like Truely's comment that most of her best memories were in LV. I cynically thought that all her memories were there, but they I figured maybe she had some great memories of vacations or visiting relatives. It reminded me of how our son used to preface his desires with "all my life I have wanted...." and he was younger than Truely. sorry to ramble.

Somewhere there is an architect on this board who could estimate the cost better than I did. ITA re $4000, and IIRC plans and blueprints are not the same thing. Kody asked for a plan/a design. When I was in the game, a plan showed what was being built, a blueprint showed how to build it. (And I don't think they're always blue anymore). Looking forward to hearing what our resident architect has to say about what Kody probably paid. I hope it was a lot, and I hope it was his money and not something TLD paid for. ETA: Kody did refer to Dawn numerous times as a draftsman and they aren't licensed; an architect is licensed. A draftsman can draw a blueprint under an architect's license. Dawn doesn't need a license to draw a plan. Another example: a CNA (certified) works under an RN or LPN (both licensed). Edited April 1, 2019 by suomi 2 6 Share this post Link to post

Tuxcat 15,363 April 1, 2019 I didn't pause long enough to see if there was an upstairs on the mansion? Each wife should have an equal amount of square footage on the main living floor. If there is an upstairs it should be like a hotel with just all bedrooms on that level. If this is one big happy family then why can't the kids (and returning kids) live in the same upstairs area?

suomi 24,976 April 1, 2019 I think the living quarters are one floor and the stairway where they might have to actually lay eyes on each other goes down to the garage/parking lot. Hence the distaste on Kody's brother's part. He may not be a plyg but he picked up on the common hallways and common stairs being a problem right quick. Kody was quick to agree. It was easy to see why this ep was called Moving Meltdowns - and Kody was having most of them, like he was thisclose to Losing It. His mania is off the chart sometimes and it's weird because the smaller the family gets the worse he gets. He's a lazy, weak, selfish, conceited weenie. You know he loved the edit he got, using his diffuser and having his hair discussed and nicknamed. ETA - I was way wrong about there being one floor because now I know there are 19 bedrooms. How did I miss that? How many sets of stairs did I miss? Sorry 'bout that ... I try not to post bunk. Edited April 1, 2019 by suomi 32 1 Share this post Link to post
