DeleteRP, what you call venting, we prefer to call expressing one's opinion.
DeleteSWB is open to all people, of all faiths including atheists and agnostics. People are not required to invest in purchasing Becoming Sister Wives in order to express their opinions of the Browns on SWB.
Thanks for dropping by.
All right, I'll use a name. Actually, it's easy.
ReplyDeleteRemember last year when they went up home acting like the town in Yyoming (yes Y)
was going to be all down on them. The town where his whole family lives. What a joke. He was all teary eyed about how they would make it. Now they are building new homes I assume? Yes, they were crying, on camera, and laughing all the way to the bank. What a bunch of liars.
So agree with you. how ARE they building those homes? Come on!
DeleteThey aren't building those homes!
DeleteI contacted a local realtor and expressed an interest in the home that is being built on one of "their lots". There were photos on the realtor's website and he told me the home is almost done and is available for sale. There are also homes being built on at least one of "their" other lots and it appears to be almost as close to completion as the one I inquited about.
Hey, rabbi Eddie at OU made me an honorary Jew too! By the way, I know it's been said a million times before but I like this site more than the show. I stopped watching the show but I still come back here for recaps and opinions! Happy Independence Day! Now if the sister wives could only have one of their own....
DeleteThis is so true, Emily13!! They are a bunch of money grabbing liars, and some people actually BELIEVE their tale of woes!! YEAH,RIGHT!!
DeleteHappy Independence Day to all, and be thankful for our forefathers.
ReplyDeleteIt has dawned on me to go back and skim the first couple of seasons, and just see how much we were played. They did say they were going to show us just like they were. Honesty, I think not. There's been a big change in the Browns. Kody is either hopping around like a jack rabbit to go on some date or out, or crying on the couch. The children are an afterthought to him. Just filling his little planet. I can respect the folks that believe this if they live right-even if the whole idea is blasphemous. I guess I say to myself, they don't know any better, they are too sheltered. But my gosh, I think they have gone off the rails!
Long time lurker, first time poster. Happy 4th of July All!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you BasYisrael! Happy holiday to you, too!
DeleteAnother Jew on here, yay :D Welcom
DeleteI am Sephardic descent. Shalom
DeleteI'm Catholic, but was pretty much elevated to the level of honourable Jew by my fellow members of the executive council of the Jewish Society at my alma mater. I served as the Chicken Officer, which looks pretty funny on a CV. It was just a weird name for the person in charge of getting kosher meat, which was a rare treat. Our JSoc was the best group ever.
DeleteI think the fact that Mormons refer to Jews (and pretty much everybody else) as Gentiles is quite hilarious.
Shalom to everybody.
Welcome BasYisrael and b0red_n0w!
DeleteI'm 1/4 Ashkenazi (Orthodox Belfast&Russian descent); I know it means nothing legally :D--but shalom anyway. Thanks so much for encouraging folks to post with a name--extended threads get might confusing.
Deletelinnet, you do seem to have the most intriguing background. Would you be willing to satisfy my curiosity and give us a precis of yourself?
DeleteMyself, I was born and raised in Austria and went to University in England and Scotland, staying there for a total of seven years. I met my husband - who is ten years my senior - in the same street as Prince William and Kate Middleton first met. We married two years ago and I currently divide my time between Austria and Paris, where my husband works. I'm in the strange position of undertaking three degrees at once, one of them a Masters in Religious Science. The one I hope to finish this year is my Ph.D. in History. This site has become my main aid in procrastination.
This post is about a possible reason for Kody being so hot on moving to Las Vegas/ I may be completely wrong.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing a little bit of research on the AUB. It appears they are a very social group, set up much like the LDS with groups such as relief society, young womens and scouting. I am sure it was a great outlet for the wives when they lived near it, especially Christine who spent most of her time at home. In Utah, Janelle had a job and probably friends. Meri even had a job outside of the home. With the move that was all gone. They were in a new place away from others that are like them, no outside jobs, no church groups, no friends except for their "sister wives". Even Christine is in a place where she cannot go see her dad unless she saves grocery money.
Maybe this is what Kody wanted, maybe he wanted the wives to become more isolated. Perhaps he thought it would bring them closer instead of ripping them apart. This way he has much more control over their activities. Even while he is away who are the wives going to reach out to, they do not have others like them in vegas? They do not have anyone who will understand, except for maybe a fellow sisterwife.
Maybe this Vegas move equaled more control for Kody.
I also think this Vegas move may have quelled the idea of anyone leaving the family. The last time Janelle "left" the family it was in a place where she had some sort of support system; and close enough where she would not be pulling the kids away from Kody or their siblings. If a wife left him and decided to live in Vegas it would be a very hard road. If a wife left and moved back to Utah- there is a chance that the children would never see Kody or their siblings - at least that is the argument Kody would use..
I think Vegas equals more isolated wives and more control for Kody.
I apologize for the horrible punctuation and grammar, I am just waking up.
Carolyn Jessop talked about how the one SW that was so mean to all the other wives and all the children was the Queen Bee. It seems as if the QB is the one that is used to keep the other SW in check and that kept the husband informed about who was doing what. I believe that in almost all types of relationships where people must compete for one person's affections, a pecking order developes. Even if the pecking order is somewhat dynamic in who is on the shit list and who isn't. (sorry about the use of profainity but we are all over 18). The QB uses emotions to try and maintain control over the other wives by using her status as favored wife or first wife. In Meri's case, QB came with her being wife number one and having wife number 2 being non confrontational. This whole sister wives makes us better people is a bunch of malarky as we have seen with Janelle and Meri's relationship. Meri bullied her and Janelle allowed it for lack of confidence and for the need to have someone tend to her growing family while she worked. Additionally, Christine came into the family with confidence in who she was/is, but she was naive, which left Meri's role as QB unchallenged. All these years, Meri has maintained the QB status by manipulating and bullying the other two wives and they have learned survival strategies to not let her get to them. Christine even went so far as to tell Meri to keep her hands off of her kids and Janelle said in more than one interview that she does not coparent with the SW that she decides what is best for her kids and she has the final word. Janelle admits that she has matured over the years and has learned to exert herself when she needs to do so. I believe she is like me, she picks her battles.
DeleteSo, when Robyn came into the family, I believe it was Meri's way of gaining some of her QB status. She picked Robyn out; she knew the secret before the other wives; she developed and cultivated a relationship with Robyn before the other two wives met SW to be four; and Meri was going to be BFF with this new wife. I don't think Meri had an inkling of who this new wife was or could become. I also don't think she believed that Kody was going to become so enamored with his new "shiney" object. And, when Robyn started taking little steps at replacing Meri's QB status, Meri lost it. Hence the tears on the first episodes about the new wife coming (but we all know now that she was already there). Meri did what my grandmother use to say, she cut her nose off to spite her face…exerting herself as QB--wife courter--may have given a subtle message to the other two wives that she is still in charge, but look what has happened. Her QB status is being challenged by wife number 4. Sadly for her, picking this new wife has made her look older, fatter, and even worse, meaner. No amount of light shading, highlighted makeup, or fluffy hairstyles will remove her menacing look. She was and still is a bully.
Excellent post. I too feel that MGM brought Rochin in as others have mentioned , much as a troubled couple would have a new baby to bring back that old spark. Most people agree this is the worst time to have a child.
DeleteI believe MEan Meri accomished alienating the other two wives and thought it would bring an appreciation from Kidy. I think she got satisfaction when the other wives were in tears because they were left out of the loop. I think she thought she found a true friend. I think she thought she had some control. It is obvious that the addition of Robchin has back fired.
Meri's looks the worst of all the original wives in the three years we have watched them. If you have Netflix watch the first season. I agree with Anon above. She has aged the most. Gained the most weight. And doesn't even try to hide her discontent. Of all the wives I think she complies with "keeping sweet" the least. Her cynical outlook and aggression makes her so hard looking and toxic. Her nervous laugh after every rude comment gives her the out to say she is kidding.
All in all the fake escape to Vegas has made ...
...Meri's meaner, fatter and out of control
...Janelle happier this season due to TLC money
...Christine gain weight and question her value to Kidy
...Kidy more manic then ever
...and Robchin in charge!!!!
How in the world will Meri ever regain control? With no ability to expand the clan she is left with the identity of the wife with a clean house and travel buddy.
I think she says "lover" to try and remind and convince even herself, her place in the circus.
Intersting posts!
DeletePersonally, i've seen Kody having less control in Vegas not more. He acts very chaotic and more flighty and stressed. More A.D.D. than ever. I don't believe he would have wanted to move them away from their church support system as that was also a support system for him and their kids. Everyone was happier back there in Lehi. At least before Robyn came on board anyway which disrupted the working rhythm the families had FINALLY gotten into living in that house setup for 3 years.
DeleteI think those are going to be the best 3 years of their lives in hindsight. sadly.
Anon 11:34 Good insight. I don't think he's probably ADD, but more likely borderline personality disorder. He exhibits true signs of real imbalance. Mood swings, veiled threats, emotional extortion, and most of all, DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR! I don't mean that at all snarky, either. BTW, Anon 11:34--please, pick a name--any name!!
Deleteactually, he could certainly have both A.D.D. and B.P.D.
DeletePersonally, I think that he has narcissistic personality disorder. Symptoms are as follows:
DeleteSymptoms of this disorder include, but are not limited to:
Reacts to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation
May take advantage of others to reach their own goals
Tends to exaggerate their own importance, achievements, and talents
Imagines unrealistic fantasies of success, beauty, power, intelligence, or romance
Requires constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
Easily becomes jealous
Lacks empathy and disregards the feelings of others
Obsessed with oneself
Mainly pursues selfish goals
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Is easily hurt and rejected
Sets unrealistic goals
Wants "the best" of everything
Appears as tough-minded or unemotional
I believe he exhibits all of these characteristics.
I sooo agree. And also with the women, the stupid alter egos, hence, my new name. I HOPE EVERYONE read and makes up a name, like i did.
Deletewell, knowing how awesome and grand Kody is - he probably has all 3 maladies!!
DeleteHappy INDEPENDENCE Day to all my fellow posters and especially to CJ & Mister Sister!! I'm so grateful to have the freedom to not only speak freely but to THINK freely and do as I choose! Sadly, all too many women IN OUR OWN COUNTRY (thanks to the likes of these Polygamist groups) are not enjoying those same freedoms today.
ReplyDeleteOn a much lighter note, I absolutely LOVE this blog and really enjoy all the comments. I laugh my ass off everyday thanks to you all!! :)
PS - Can't wait to see all the T-Shirts ;)
Happy day to you from us! I know, the T shirts are a hoot!
DeleteSome of those women in these Polygamist groups chose the lifestyle and maybe now that the Browns have come out they too can enjoy the same freedoms that us monogamous, one spouse folks enjoy! I say as long as they are not hurting anyone or taking away anyone's rights...live and let live.
DeleteTo Anonymous....'some of those women in Polygamist groups' sit passively by as their children are raped; and by "choosing" the lifestyle they participate in their own humiliation and degradation. Not hurting anyone? I think not.
DeleteHappy 4th to you all, from downunder.
ReplyDelete----------
I'm reading the book and bookmarking parts I want to mention in a post once I am finished, but just reading Meri's parts of the book, she sounds like everyone has to cater to her emotional needs -Robyn did that and that is why she likes her. Bases on how far I've read, she really does not give a damn about Jenelle or Christine. Wich leads me to the next thing I want to say. They mention "we fell in love" I honestly think Meri has some feelings for Robyn. They say they do not go "weird" but really, I think Robyn+Meri= weird Koduche time. Euw
Well some of the Browns are enjoying a vacay in Disneyland, with free fast passes for the kids to boot! Saw this on twitter. At least the children are having some fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to all! And to the moderators here, thanks for a wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteA question I can't seem to find answers to... I am reading Carolyn Jessop's book "Escape" and since the family tree is so convulated....is she related in any way to Christine or Robyn's ex-husband? If so, in what way? I'm sorry if my question was asked and answered repeatedly but I can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks! =)
Most likely related in some way. All the fundamentalist mormon Jessops in the US (regardless of sect) seem to be descended from one man who was from Leicestershire or Lincolnshire in England.
DeleteHappy 4th from Canada!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're three days late to wish you a happy Canada Day! :)
DeleteWe're not very nice neighbors, I suppose--Nor very knowledgeable about Canada, LOL--I thought Canada Day was in the Fall.
DeleteI also saw the retweet that Kody posted about some fans giving the Brown kids fast passes for Disneyland. I am glad the kids got that treat, however, however for people with finite resources, they sure do get out and travel a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day! This blog is such fun and it has been fun to see the posts growing and expanding - thanks to all who contribute!
I saw them on Anderson, or some show, the other day. The host asked when Kody and Robyn got married and they totally avoided the question and talked about everything but. I'm wondering if anyone else saw this interview. All they had to say was a date but they didn't. Why?
ReplyDeleteLisa H.
Yes I saw that rerun I think it was from last season. I also noticed them dance around the direct question. I think it is to keep the facade up that they were "courting" when the first show started, when in fact they were weeks before getting married. I sleuthed out the following, by freezing scences with calendars in them that they were
DeleteCourting September 2009
Robchin was moved to Lehi march 2009
Married May 22, 2010 according to anniversary tweet
Show led us to believe it was late fall wedding with debut of sisterwives fall 2010.
IMO... If anyone has correction please share I welcome any intel on this fascinating yet sad "mock" family.
Sorry that was "move to Lehi March 2010"
DeleteWow, lisasumms, you do your homework huh? You should be an investigative reporter. I am a reporter but not really an investigative reporter--unless one considers covering boring municipal meetings to be investigative in any manner. Anyhow, thanks. I think we share the name "Lisa." So, I love your name, of course.
DeleteYes, love our name, never met a Lisa I didn't like.
DeleteTHANK you for telling me how to get my name on my posts, !!!
ReplyDeleteI have been a long time looker, and posted a few items about this family a few days ago (as anonymous) due to NOT knowing about the name hahahah...
LOVE this site, it gets me through the work day!!!
Me too! This is my sanity in my hell with fluorescent lighting!
DeleteSomeone mentioned looking back at season 1 compared to what is known now. It is almost night and day. The true dynamics are coming to light and it is a very unhealthy combination! Kodouche is anything but endearing, he is vile and extremely shallow. I question the truth behind his 'call' to this lifestyle. There is something about him that strikes me as less than honest, contrary to his outward 'openness'. He creeps the snot out of me, in a need to take a scalding shower with Javex afterwards kind of way.
his only calling is to a television show and KB Productions.
DeleteThere is something about him that strikes me as less than honest
DeleteI've found that it's because he lies pretty much whenever he opens his mouth. I don't think that I can remember a true statement that has flown out of his mouth other than "Hey, I have 4 wives!"
He has lied about his financial history, his "courting" history, the reasons why he married each wife, to his kids about everything, to the tv cameras whenever they're rolling.
You are welcome! We want to "connect" with the posts in some way!
Deletei think the next biggest liar next to Kody for a close second is Robyn. Then MGM. Those 3 can't be trusted for truth whatsoever. I'm sure Janelle and Christine would agree. In fact, Christine had no problem telling the world on that last interview that she doesn't trust her sister wives. Priceless!
DeleteRobot monkey he even bragged on the show about how he lied that Gwendolyn and Garrison (is that right?) were twins because they were born 4 days apart.
Deletelinnet: Which puts him right back into lying about how the wives get more attention from him when a new baby is born: unless he has mastered the art of being in two places at once, either Christine or Janelle got the short end of the attention stick.
DeleteAnonymous I couldn't agree more, but I also can't stand listening to Robyn whine all the time. Talk about a weeping willow geez!
DeleteHappy 4th of July Americans! Please read the declaration of independence and teach it to your children.

An update on the SisterWife's Closet (I think Janelle wrote it):
ReplyDeleteMy Sisterwife's Closet
Just a few updates. We are currently working out shipping details to make it more affordable. We working out little snags and problems as fast as we can. It sure has been a learning process. We love everyone's feedback! We are trying to read everyone's emails. It feels we have a big group of friends helping us make our business awesome! Thank you for all your support!
If their fans had half a brain they would want compensation for helping them make their business awesome. Guess that's what happens when you let Robyn take charge of something. How can you screw up shipping? Anyway, bet their profit margin's won't look so good after those shipping details are worked out.
DeleteJust like a Brown, all a con to get other people to do their work and support their clan.
DeleteRobchin already did the hard part, coming up with KWELL doodles.
Sisterwives, strong women, super women, more like so wrong!
I think they're shipping via UPS but even still the rates are ridiculous. Shipping one $55 necklace to Canada would have cost almost $75. That makes no sense at all!!! Even if customs and tax were being charged on the item the total should be considerably lower.
DeleteWhat a ripoff.
Well, there is that international polygamist postal surtax.......
DeleteDo you think that could have anything to do with the fact that we s-p-e-l-l-e-d-o-u-t the 300% "handling" fee thay were tagging with their shipping? LOL Even their die-hard fans were writing "flat rate US post costs about 5$".
DeleteAnd indeed flat rate for any of their items could be sent to Canada for around $5.00. We are not STUPID!
DeleteSorry, posted that in the wrong spot!
DeleteI too am a mom of twin girls who are monozygotic ('identical') and 14. Nice to wave at fellow twin moms! Such a wonderfully close relationship they have. Cannot but feel a tad jealous I did not have similar growing up. Can you imagine living with your best friend growing up? :)
Janelle just loves the word "awesome" doesn't she? Throws it around quite a bit, to the point of losing its meaning.
DeleteI saw on twitter that some fan had given the Browns their Disneyland fast passes, too. Why? They can get their own fast passes, pretty sure it's still free, but it does require some planning of a schedule.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing Aspyn's photos of Truely with Mickey. Enjoyed that she got some attention which appears to be rare for her.
So did Christine save her grocery money for the trip or did they just decide, "Screw it, we can't get those houses so let's blow the money."? From the realty websites it appears those lots at not options now. Any Vegas folks know any updates on houses???
Isn't this Christine's 2nd trip in like 4 months to Disneyland? Aspyn's been at least 3 or 4 times, once with Christine and Kody. I don't believe their being poor story anymore.
DeleteWouldn't it be smarter to invest the money they are blowing in trips in a lot (or King Kody's dream of 4 lots) and building their dreamhome(s)?
DeletePaying insurance, food and college instead of blowing it in "fun" stuff?
Just saying. And yes, Wanna Bet, I don't either believe they are poor anymore. I do believe they are blowing through their money fast though.
Good thought Lobotomized but in a family with 17 kids and 5 adults and the dad drove a sporty Lexus convertible, lessons of sacrifice and being frugal are way down the list.
DeleteObviously saving for the houses is not a priority. They believe in the fairy tale and must think that their "popularity" will keep them on air for years to come.
While their ratings may be high now (because we all love to see the BS express hit trainwreck) they are NOT popular at all. They do have some groupies (some real, most trolls I am guessing) but they are not popular and it doesn't seem their popularity will grow anytime soon. So either they live frugally, plan well and enjoy the gravy train as long as it lasts, or they blow through it faster than an alcoholic through a bottle of booze, only to end up in trailers and bleeding the beast - again.
DeleteSadly - I posted an update to the house situation in answer to the 2nd post on today's offering. It was in reply to Emily13.
DeleteEssentially, homes are being built and almost completed, but are available for purchase. So they aren't for the Browns.
I know there are 4 empty lots on one side and 4 houses being built on the other, I had my Uncle take a peak for me, he lives there. Funky Town, Are there for sale signs up? How do you know they aren't for the browns? I'mnot doubting you at all, just trying to unsolve the stupid house mystery!
DeleteAnonymous@9:48
DeleteI spoke with the realtor online during a live chat after getting the addresses of the lots that the earnest money was put down on.
I picked one of the 4 addresses at random and asked the realtor if the home I saw being built was for sale and he said it was available. He did have to check and it took him a couple of minutes while I waited and he came back to say he'd spoken to the builder and it was a) almost complete and b) still available.
That's all I know and I hope it helps.
Wow! You are great! Thank you!
DeleteI understand that there is an enclave of Christine's and Meri's relatives somewhere around Southern Cali. They probably get the discounted annual passes. It basically cost less than 2 multi-day trips.
DeleteInteresting!
DeleteI have an annual pass for Disneyland Paris, so that's all I can speak for. It is cheaper than tickets for two consecutive days, but you are unable to use it for the two days following your first visit, to stop people from simply using it as two-day pass. Fastpass is free, though you'd be amazed how many people don't know that. I love Disneyland, but it sure is expensive, so I don't think anybody who goes there gets to complain that they're poor. Then again, these people do seem to have the strangest financial priorities.
DeletePardon me if this has been a topic before, as I am new to this fun blog. Has anyone considered that Kody is actually gay? Just because a person is married with many kids, does not mean that he is straight. I have pretty good "gaydar" and just sense that he is a closeted gay man. Does anyone agree, disagree, want to add to this goofy post or anything? Thanks and thank you for this nice blog. I actually enjoy the show but, lately, due to reading this blog, I have started to take note of some discrepancies. It's kind of upsetting because I am not judgmental about various lifestyles, etc. I just don't think it's kosher for a religious person, (family), to lie, if that is the case with Sister Wives.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Lisa it comes up often. His school mate confirmed what a lot of us think. That he is very effeminate, is way to into his looks and says "darling" entirely to much.
DeleteHis school mate said something to the effect that ... Wow Kody with 4 wives, we always thought he was gay". It was the fake going home 4th of July trip last year to "Y" oming.
Key to some of the best nicknames
Kodouche, Kodster, sperminator and my favorite is Kidy due to his peterpan ways,
MGM for mean girl Meri, mean Meri but I just like to call her butch.
And of course that brings us to The bedroom wife, sexy wife, trophy wife and my. And Robchin for the obvious. All forms of chin , witch , cold sore or herpes reference is also synomnimous for Robyn.
It seems Janelle and Christine are respectfully referred to by name.
Also most spelling or grammatical errors are due to smart phones and eagerness to post. The posters and moderators are intelligent and extremely witty. I appreciate everyone's respect to leave the kids out of snarks. It just is such a great blog that keeps me laughing all day.
Thanks to all to contribute and a salute to our freedom of speech.
Lots of other folks have speculated the same thing. Personally, I think his true attraction is to HIMSELF. Some people he went to high school with thought he was gay but I think it was because he was into theatre and trying to get attention for himself. I would guess he's straight but maybe he's into whoever (male or female) is really into him...
DeleteWelcome Lisa H from SWB!
DeleteI dont think he's gay, but I do think he has a narcicisstic personality disorder and ADD, a spendthrift, and not to bright, plus a temper but other than that a great guy ;)
Deletemy faves are Grody and Kodylocks and Peter Pansy.
DeleteSobbin'Robyn and Robchin
MGM for mean girl meri and Mother Meri (as in Mother Superior for her Wife #1 power) AND like Grody likes to call her "Mer" for short. Only i spell it "MARE" as in his #1 horse in his stable of 4 horses. Sadly, she's starting to already turn into "the old grey Mer just ain't what she used to be..." She's seriously becoming more mean-spirited by the week and is not going to age well - physically or emotionally.
I don't recall us ever giving Christine or Janelle or the kids nicknames. which i think it's fair. You have to earn a bitchy and disrespectful nickname. ;')
I work full time, and I cant afford a NEW home or even a trip, I have to say for years...
ReplyDeleteThis is what really bothers me about this family ...WORK FOR HEAVEN SAKES...
Does anyone know what they do for health insurance? State programs for the kids? Samaritan Ministries like some fundies use? Have they even discussed doctor or dental visits on the show?
ReplyDeleteChristine took Mykelti to the chiro when she fell off the horse in Wyoming. In my area, Amish use chiros as primary care as they often honor their alternative or non-mainstream health ideas. Anyone know about their cult?
DeleteIn Vegas, Meri stated "my gynecologist.". She also saw some kind of provider after her skiing incident.
Robynn used a midwifery service for childbirth. She mentioned taking Sol to the dr for his cold but was not given a prescription so that could have been a medical dr or a chiropractor.
Since Robynn and Christine had no idea how much their infant and toddler weighed and weighed them at home, I wasn't sure if they go for well baby and immunization appointments. Not sure if their religion has some sort of view on immunizations, either?? Anyone know?
I think Hunter went to the dr for a foot injury.
I do recall something about who was covered by employer related health insurance when they lived in Lehi but cannot remember who.
The Browns are anti immunization, like a lot of (but not all) AUB members
DeleteTo the people still posting as anonymous, please note that there are directions at the heading of this topic telling you how to give yourself and name without giving yourself away. Please do. I don't think I'll anonymous posts anymore. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a lot of us like me who have longed preferred to remain "anonymous" even tho we've always known how easy it is to sign in with a repeated same name. ;')
DeleteSometimes with so many repeated questions and repeated posts, I wonder at times if anyone's reading any of the posts! lol
DeleteAnon then, at least put a #1, #2 , A, B or something after it. When there is a thread, the conversational aspect is affected. Most everyone does read all the posts, but many start reading from the bottom up, and realize their double-posting after the fact (like I do LOL).
DeleteThat's it--- i need to start reading every time from the top, and skimming the replies. If we all used reply, it would be soooo nice.
DeleteHappy 4th of July to everyone @SWB!! Have a fun & safe holiday w/ ur friends & family :D
ReplyDeleteThere's that caramel brownie, making me hungry again :) Have a great day!
DeleteHappy 4th from another Canadian friend!
ReplyDeleteI was reading the Kody Brown facebook page and someone commented that they not only wanted to live next to the Browns, but they would be happy to buy the 4 houses for them and lease with an option to buy the houses to the Browns because it would be a good investment.
What is wrong with these people?
Someone else commented that the new houses - the ones for which they gave over the checks - are still unbuilt and the lots are still available. Can anyone confirm this?
Someone said they'd be happy to buy the homes and lease with an option to buy???? They have lost their minds! The Browns don't even take good care of the homes they are renting.
DeleteLook above a few posts for an update on their homes (I posted about them twice today and don't want MS or CJ to boot me for 3 repeated posts *smile*)
What IS wrong with these people??
DeleteThey HAVE a HOME, and can RENt like the rest of us, a total of 5 homes!
HELP SOME POOR FOLKS THAT REALLY NEED HELP!
LOL - I wonder if the FB poster is going to use his/her Monopoly money to buy those houses. If they were serious they would have contacted the Browns directly, not posted it on FB. Pass the Brown Bong please...
DeleteThanks for clarifying the housing situation up there, Funky Town. So the houses are being built and are available for anyone to purchase, hmm? So much for the "we're definitely going to get these houses" crap they were spouting.
DeleteSomeone really did make that offer on FB and I agree with you, BewareOfThePlanetYouChoose, that their money would be better spent helping others who really need it. Clearly the Brown Bong is getting a lot of use.
I don't think this has been mentioned before but when Kody was asked if he spends more time with one wife or another at certain times like childbirth - he answered that he does spend more time with a wife after a child is born. But why doesn't he spend more time with a wife when she gets injured like Meri did? Her face spoke volumes when she was laying in bed with her injured leg on pillows and Kody said goodbye. She was sad - and rightly so. A good husband would have been by her side helping her, feeding her and supporting her. I suppose though with a family like this, getting "injured" to get more husbandly attention could get out of hand. The wives only deserve Kody's attention if they are populating his celestial planet I guess.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't spend more time w/Christine when Truely was born. Extra time was made for Robyn and her kids and not Christine.
DeleteHe's worthless to have around anyway for help. Just another kid to take care of. Not an adult to help out.
Yes, this is another fine example why polygamy is so wrong. God said in the New Testament, one man and one wife. Two become one...
DeleteALl Polygamy circumstances in the Old Testament come out badly, for the most part and it was abolished. And, That's when God ws starting our Earth and populating it. Geez, why don't they do all the Old Testament rules then?
Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteChristine and Janelle, escape this polygamy mess and be free! You are awesome women and deserve so much more than the Kody Droppings you have now!
What gall they have to try to profit from inflated shipping costs on their crap jewelry!!!! And then to say they are "working it out" - shipping costs are standard - what is there to figure out???? They were plain & simple trying to rip off customers who are foolish enough to buy that junk with increased shipping costs! And unfortunately some people have actually fallen for it??!! Sinking to a new low....
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July, everyone!
ReplyDeleteTried to post this a week or so ago but for some reason my comments wouldn't post on Safari:
Tying in with the idea that Robyn and Kody were married before the show made out that they were, I noticed something in the flashback during the Tell All, where she offers to be Meri's surrogate. She says words to the effect of "I've been praying about this for two ---- ever since we met". I think she was about to say "for two/two and half years", but realised at the last second that this wouldn't be in keeping with the timeline the way the show was making out things had happened, so changed to something more general. They probably couldn't re-shoot to make it more streamlined because, to be fair, she had literally just given birth!
Don't know if anyone has already commented on this, as the comment threads for the mid-season finales were jammed so I didn't get around to reading them all. Just thought it was interesting though!
No, that was just because Robyn forgot what number comes after 2
DeleteYes! I have noticed it too! And the more I watch it the faker I feel RobChin is being. Its like REALY bad acting. My husband thinks that it was a totally made up scene.
Deleteman, i started to pick apart SobbinRobyn's obvious lies told by her in the book and post them all here but it got too ridiculous. no shame and apparently she's gotten away with no one calling her on her bullshit her whole life so it works for her. well, maybe that abusive husband did and that's her idea of abuse. hehehe.... (not making fun of real abuse. just she has no credibility with me whatsover now.)
Deleteyes, i made that exact comment when that episode first aired. her story in their book about meeting meri and all the follow-up validated me calling bullshit on that ridics and unbelievable lie. She's so used to lying and not ever being called on them that she doesn't worry about how stupid they are.
DeleteI would love to ask her why that didn't get mentioned at all with all her detailed encounters in meeting Meri in her tell-all section. that's just one of the many lies she's told.
another one right off hand i can think of is when she told on the show that she wanted a marriage just like her parents have had their whole married life. Her mom kept the romance and honeymoon going the whole marriage and Robyn said that's how she and Kody will be. Janelle rolled her eyes and smiled and said, "that's just not realistic." Robyn disagreed. KNOWING FULL WELL that it was bullshit and her mom and dad were DIVORCED. she tells the same bullshit story in the book about her mom being the second wife to Robyn's dad and how they were longtime married and yadayadayada. but still doesn't say they're divorced now. ;')
I can only imagine all the lies her sister wives could tell us that they know about and have to listen to from her on a continual basis. She's very good at passive/aggressive manipulation, too. Which i'm sure she realized Kody's such an easy mark for her to use to her advantage.
Her mom and step-dad may not actually be "divorced". Do we have any evidence, other than that she and her mom lived. Most plygs that I have known of--prior to SisterWives--don't all live in one big house, but live singly in abject poverty, or in pairs/small groups of wives who live somewhat communally with their children. Maybe some input from: Ex-AUB or Gladys or our most recent Anon, Ex-Aub--or even Cosmo :)
DeleteLet's not worry about insurance. They don't. It's a bet. Ins Co bets you won't get sick. They have money. You bet they will be sick. You don't have money. So odds are they will cost you less than insurance. But in a couple of years the Obama care newly declared tax on those who don't purchase insurance will take care of them. It's still a great deal for so many people.
ReplyDeleteI tried to have an open mind about this family and actually looked forward to getting a peak in to their world. But they are just on my last nerve now. "Oh, boo hoo, we're so poor!" Kody saying Christine will have to save her grocery money to go see her father...then it's Mexican vacations with Grumpy Smurf, endless date nights with Slutty Smurf, etc...My husband and I both work full time and haven't been on a vacation in three years! And the money we make goes for the things our children NEED first. And you know. to those other incidentals like the mortgage and electricity...Douchey Smurf needs to get over himself.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July everyone.
DeleteI have always said that Kody is laughing all the way to the bank. He must think his fans are stupid enough to believe everything that he tells them. Kody wants his adoring fans to think that they do not have any money. Wrong. People without money do not go on vacations all the time, people w/o money do not go out to eat all the time nor do they have IPhones for their kids. I wonder how much they pay. Talk and text is not cheap. People w/o money don't go to Disneyland. Why do they want people to think that they are broke. They are far from it right now. They should have enough TLC money to last them awhile but once the show is over, what will they do. Kody does not look to the future. He wants what he wants now and to hell with any of the wife's who gets in his way. Kody feels that he is entitled to all the perks that come with being a celebrity. His ego is so inflated. What fool would agree to buy them the 4 homes and want to live next door. How sick is that. This person must want to be in the harem really bad. Even if Kody managed to get the 4 homes, has he thought about what it would cost to maintain these homes. We did not see Janelle do a budget for the expenses. Normal people buying a home would make a list with their income on one side and their debts on the other. The only income they have is from TLC & LIV. Neither of these would I consider stable. I am beginning to wonder if Kody is secretly trying to get his fans to buy him a home. It may be working according to a previous post. Oh, and one last thing. Their jewelry is beyond ugly. Who would want to wear that crap. It is way over priced. Who I wonder is actually making it for them. I wonder if they are making it themselves or if the jeweler is making it after an order has been placed. I don't believe that they are doing as great as they want us to think. And to Janelle, how hard is it to figure out shipping. All of their pieces should fit in a 6x9 padded envelope and could be mailed for $4.95 or less. Who are they trying to fool. It just makes me mad when I see other families struggling when both adults work with less kids and they can't seem to make ends meet. And then you have the Brown family who claim to not have money yet they can each write a check for $5000.00 with steady hands. I would love to know how they divide their money. Is it done the same way they share Kody.
I wouldn't even consider that they are making much money from LIV. If it works like Mary Kay, since they are getting a "free" car, the present monthly lease cost is deducted from whatever commissions/etc they "earn" from LIV. If the commissions (for lack of a better term) they earn in any given month are less than the lease (plus insurance), then the Browns need to pay a co-payment to make up the difference, or give the car back. And since TLC isn't permitting LIV's name or products to be aired on the show, I doubt that LIV is giving the Browns a break on the car. In fact, if they are working the game like Mary Kay is, LIV is charging WAY more for the lease than the Browns would get from a dealer for the same model, in fact LIV is probably getting a discount from Nissan on the lease, so they make even more $$.
DeleteCheck out the website pinktruth.com - while it pertains primarily to Mary Kay, MLMs are pretty much the same business model. As soon as people who signed up under the Browns' downline start quitting to save money - and they WILL - then their income will plummet.
Happy July 1st all the American posters. Was away for our holiday weekend and I can't believe how far behind I am on the blog already.
ReplyDeleteDid they announce the schedule for 2nd part of this season ?? And has any-one heard anything about the houses LOL. I checked Mona's real estate webpage and can't find out anything and she has "sister wives preferred realtor", she must be flooded with bankrupts hehe
it should be more like Sister Wives preferred time waster. man, Mona - that's really no claim to fame.
DeleteMona won't say diddly squat about the status of the houses, because that would be giving away the plot line for the second part of the season, when Kody will say WELL ONE OF THE HOUSES WAS SOLD so we aren't going through with the purchase. just like before. They will always have an excuse other than the reality that their credit sucks due to several bankruptcies and they can't afford it!
DeleteSorry my last post said Cai in Canada. Had a great weekend :))
ReplyDeleteLol twinsmom! I have a set of twins too, they just turned 22. My daughter graduated with her four year degree and my son is working away from home. I am a teacher and I will be spending my fourteenth summer teaching summer school. I am waiting for that big vacation to happen, too. I think I'm living the dream just by having a small emergency fund in the bank. I guess the American Dream can only be achieved by making a spectacle of yourself on a reality show. I will be honest; it WAS entertaining for a while. Now I just watch because it has become such a train wreck.
ReplyDeleteAs to the "lifestyle"... I don't think I will ever be good enough to join the fold. I can no longer have children, so nothing celestial about me. Which leads me to ask a question, does anyone know what happens to the wives after their fertility dries up in this community? I have read Carolyn Jessop's books and I don't really recall her saying. Ex-AUB, any insight??? What value is a woman past her fertile years?
Hey Koolaid! I've always wanted to say that! My twins are 14 and starting high school next year. And I also have a son who is going in to his senior year, and a surprize three year old. The poor things have grown up without the benefit of bonus moms, but we do have something kinda like it. They're called GRANDPARENTS! I know not everyone is blessed enough to get to live near their parents (it's a blessing, and a curse :) My point is, that you can have strong family ties without polygamy.
DeleteYour post really gets to the heart of it...how can anyone worship an idea of God who thinks that women are expendable, interchangeable, or somehow less than a man. I believe that God loves his daughters just as much as he loves his sons.
And why do the Browns always say "Love should be multiplied, not divided"? We all know they can't do math!
There's so much store put on having babies that I think a lot of women feel devalued when they can't have any more, especially when their husband is having children with younger women. Add to that the fact that marital intimacy is supposedly ONLY for having babies (Joseph Musser taught that men should have nothing physical going on with women past childbearing age) Just think how special THAT makes an older woman feel - again 10 times worse when she knows he's still having relations with younger women. Horrible!
DeleteTwins mom you brought up a good point. They all say they wanted to have sister wives for the close relationships but where are their actual sisters? At least Meri, Christine, and Robyn should have tons of them. There must be at least one they get along with or did watching their own through the pecking order destroy those relationships too?
Deletetwinsmom - you made me laugh about living near your parents being a blessing and a curse for your family. I've found out that can also be the same feeling from the grandparent's side, too. ;')
DeleteI have a set of twins, and absolutely love it. God blessed us, and strangely enough, much easier than our other two!
DeleteLhasa, I believe Janlle last all of her friends when she married Kody in a wtf moment.
Deleteand you're right. All this talk about how wonderful "sister wives" are. Seriously- that's what family and friends are for. any one of them would raise my kids if anything happened to to me. Don't have to be boinking the same husband.
Happy 4th to our neighbors to the south!
Robyn's latest tweet. Are they in high school?
ReplyDelete"@LuvgvsUwngs: @realkodybrown K, just for you....." Umm...yummy!
Oh, and they had fast passes at Disneyworld! I'm jealous!
public tweets and facebook messages between spouses is VERY high schoolish. "oh, look at us! we're a couple and we COMMUNICATE with each other!! aren't we special? don't you feel special that we let you in on our "private" conversations!" blech... (yes, i've been married for a long time and my hubby and i wouldn't dream of doing this crap to each other. nor our friends and relatives. lol )
Deletewhat?? and no "hey lover...yada yada" from Meri to offset Robyn's?? is Meri's phone lost? lol
DeleteI'm waiting for Meri to slip up and say "hey lover" when she's talking to Robin!
Delete"I'm waiting for Meri to slip up and say "hey lover" when she's talking to Robin!"
Deletehahahahaha
I have said it before, but someone things there might be an affair between some of the wives?
Deleteno, i don't think there's an affair as Meri's attracted to Robyn emotionally/sexually but Robyn's not bi or L like Meri. and tho Meri's not attracted to Christine or Janelle, neither one of them are bi or L either.
DeleteMeri and Kody are the only closeted ones -either bi or full-blown gay. They will never know themselves as they don't allow themselves "to go there" mentally let alone physically. It's a damnable to hell sin for them according to their beliefs.
Kody Brown @realkodybrown
ReplyDeleteA heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all the men and women who have served our country in the Armed Forces. We owe you a debt of gratitude and love.
Also a debt of love and gratitude to my ancestors who helped shape this country and blessed me with all the tools to have a wonderful life.
Last my thanks to God the Almighty, who has blessed us all with liberty on this special day. Happy 4th of July. God bless us with many more.
"Also a debt of love and gratitude to my ancestors who helped shape this country and blessed me with all *the tools* to have a wonderful life."
DeleteWould love to actually see the fool's "toolbox".....or see Kody actually using a tool.
"HE" is the *tool* his ancestors produced.
Happy Fourth to all! Honestly, it's hard to believe the post above where someone would BUY them homes and lease them to them! I bet many of posters would line up for that deal!
ReplyDeleteI saw that post on their Facebook page a while ago. Incredible.
DeleteYou know it! I figured I'd be first in line! (not)
DeleteIs anyone using the "name" Mock Tapioca? If not, that's my name!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a GREAT name!
DeleteGreat name. I'd call that stuff farina pudding though. LOL.
DeleteWhich led me to thinking: Celestial marriages: Mock Marriages.
I'm so glad that someone wants that name!!! Also, thank you Lobotomized. I feel like someone empathizes with my outrage about the "C.O.W. (my new favorite acronym) pudding"--that's what they should call it. LOOL.
Deleteomg! C.O.W. Pudding is a PERFECT acronym name for that glorified cream of wheat high sugar high fat crap. love it!
DeleteI think I will choose "hey lover".
DeleteBy the way, what is the need for mock tapioca? You can buy a small box for 3$, and it can make 4 pots. I've have the same box for 2 years!
Great Name!! I don't eat either, I don't get it, my mom used to make Tapioca all the time, and it was cheap. LOL
Deletei've seen that question asked several times here and the only time it was answered was by someone who actually said that tapioca IS expensive and cream of wheat is much cheaper. seriously. whatevs. lol
DeleteMaybe WIC doesn't pay for tapioca? lol
Deleteor more likely, someone (Christine maybe?)doesn't care for the texture of "real" tapioca...I just still have that mental picture of Kody slurping down those giant sugary, high-calorie spoonfuls of Mock T. - calories going straight down to that growing belly of his. Honestly, they'd be better off eating the real thing, because it would take longer to eat, it's more "solid" you know?
My assumption in the benefit of COW is traditional, All-American, whitetrash-multi-generational-poverty-style cooking. Did any of you grow up middle class, but with a parent who did not? I did. That recipe, when eaten in "normal proportions" (granted, with less sugar) is very nutritional. Tapioca has virtually no nutritional value, and is much more expensive than farina (more than 2X the price, typically). Between the C.O.W., Milk, and Eggs, it has much more protein than any other hot cereal would. And all the ingredients, including C.O.W. (farina) can be bought with WIC--tapioca can't--YOU'D HAVE TO WASTE YOUR FOOD STAMPS ON IT.
DeleteA fast pass at Disneyland is FREE. It is no big deal. You go get the ticket for FREE and come back to the ride at the assigned time. You still pay the regular astronomical entrance fee. Sucking up to these cretins by giving them a fast pass is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThey are so dumb. The first thing anyone should do is pass by all the attractions and get fast passes, first thing upon arrival.
DeleteI feel like such a creeper but am I the only one that checks the Clark County Recorder's website to see if they've bought a home?
ReplyDeleteNo I do it too Brit.
DeleteI sent email to TMI and shared with Mister Sister.
The real estate rep said that the four lots where sold and that one house was already started and offered the other four unsold completed houses to me instead of a lot.
I am checking under all names Brown and maiden. Also Brown family LLC's.
I think the lots are still owned by builder and financed thru them. IMO they will get these houses the same way they have swindled their "mock" lives to this point.
I did. I do not see where in any of the two circles where they have bought a home, the ones built are for sale...It's confusing.
DeleteI do it. I also check the kids names, and producers of the show. Obsess much, do we? I also check occassionally to verify there are still no licensed realtors among them--I don't want to convey any dishonesty snarkery. :D
DeleteI feel that these lots or culdesac may have just been a film stunt or location and maybe they are building some where else. The homes on wild eagle circle are deffinately the ones on film but will the Browns live in those or build a more secluded compound. I'll believe it all when they film from Robchins shady yard, Meri's wet bar and Mariah's dark bedroom.
DeleteOr in the same subdivision, I believe there are many vacant lots and cul-de-sacs.
DeleteI don't even check with an address. I just search with the names, and add in the likely aliases. I have to say, Nevada makes all public records searching easier than any other state in the Union. Business liceses, professional licenses--all done in seconds. They've set up things perfectly for pathetic (:D) Nancy Drew-types like we are. LOL
DeleteI too was thinking how last year they were all boo hoo about the fake going to Yyoming to a polygamist town, and rain, what dig a lings.

ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this blog. I have watched Sister Wives since the beginning. First, out of morbid curiosity and now I just have to watch due to a strange fascination.
I wanted to address the inflated shipping - I sell on E-bay (I have a nice little thing going on over there) and I am very familiar with shipping cost. These money grubbing nuts (though I do like Janelle & Christine and wish they would run far, far away) could easily ship ANY of the items in a USPS Priority Flat Rate box for $5.35 (US) - Canada $12.95. Of course I think all of their "jewerly" looks like something my 1 year old could design & is way overpriced.
Nacho Macho Man (NOT!) Love your name!
DeleteAren't they getting the free way to ask what they want for handling. Someone posted that before.
as easy as it is to find legit snarks about them, i have to say they ALL (including the slovenly enunciator Robyn) pronounce "jewelry" correctly. i was pleasantly surprised to keep hearing that from them all. I've heard even highly educated peeps mispronounce it as "jew ler y ." just sayin'. wanna give the few props they actually can be given as we all know those are definitely few and far between. ;')
DeleteIn British usage, it actually is 'jewellery'.
DeleteI copied this entire post below because it really is a mind blower and debunks the Krody illusion of him being a stud muffin. Technically, if they're truly following church tenets the only one getting tapped is Robchin and possibly Meri on the off chance she can get pregnant.
ReplyDeleteChristine has stated she's done with having kids. Jannelle? Who knows but I'd say she's done too. What a crock that he's the virile boinking machine. Of course he's a self admitted rule bender but this rule he probably likes.

I agree that is correct. However, do you REALLY think he didn't consummate the marriage with Robyn before they decided to get pregnant? I bet he will use this rule to NOT do the business with the ones he doesn't want to. And Meri, I guess she could say she's still trying?
Deletelol... a lot of us think Kody and Robyn consummated the marriage while they were courting. look at the secrets they had from the other wives. like the wedding dress debacle? kissing Robyn before he married her and Christine's in labor at the hospital needing him. Robyn had been married before so... Anyway, I would bet they didn't wait til they got married to do the deed let alone til they were ready to get pregnant. NO WAY!!
DeleteI agree with you Pooh. I think by the time Robyn joined the circus their God was becoming money. If the plot line of the show meant lying about the courting and wedding time frame... so be it but I'm quite sure that they both wanted their "due". Some careful birth control of some type would be needed to ensure that the birth of king Sol would just when it was right for the show.
DeleteLOVE THIS BLOG! This is my first time posting, but I have been following this blog for several weeks. I don't have cable so I can't watch TLC but have been able to start from Season one on Netflix and whatever clips you show from this season. Thank you for feeding my addiction!
DeleteOk so here's my theory in light of the info that exAub shared. Robchin is worming her way into being the only one intimate with Kodouche. If 'intimate relations' are only used to produce children and knowing Janelle sure isn't having any more children, and Christine proclaiming she is done with childbearing, that only leaves MGM. Since Robchin basically cornered MGM in front of the cameras saying I will be a surrogate IF you want more children, wouldn't that force MGM out of the intimacy equation? If she says yes, Kodouche and MGM don't really need to be intimate to reproduce by surogate, if she says no, she is admitting she doesn't want more children=no intimacy needed. I think Robchin and Kodouche are made for each other, manipulative and spotlight-hungry!
Me, I don't believe for one single second that Kodouche will stop having sex with one of his wives when she can't/won't have more children AND he desires her. Of course, he may tell one or some of his wives he does follow that rule to a T (as an excuse to not have to sleep with her anymore), but if someone is good in bed no way he is going to give that up. Just my opinion.
DeleteYou're right! Plus, Kiddouche Soggy Pants (KSP) and all the wives have said that their respective intimate lives are completely private and not shared w/ each other. He could say whatever he wants to each woman w/o any repercussions from the others b/c their bedroom secrets are off limits to the 3 other women.
DeleteIt makes sense that Meri continues to assert that she will try to conceive on her own b/c I think the rose-colored glasses she wore for Robchin have fallen off and broken. She finally saw through Robchin's grand manipulation plan of "surgacy (sic)", and she's going to thwart her. After all, she is the Queen Bee.
Off topic: I enjoy this site so much, and even though the season is over, there are so many clever and enterprising investigators here, in addition to the fabulous moderators, so I know there will be ongoing stories. I love hearing about what's going on w/ the scam on "handling" costs for the jewelry as well as the up-to-date info on the house lots. My jaw hit the floor when someone posted the info about a person on Facebook who offered to buy the 4 houses and lease them to the Browns w/ the option to buy. Perhaps it was just a whimsical offer, but I'll bet that KSP, MGM, Robchin, and the Also Rans lost no time in trying to track down the person after that showed up on their Facebook page!
Decided to change my name to KurdledC.O.W.Pie. (I don't know where the "'" came from :) b/c I had previously just written Kurdled C.O.W. Puddin', so I tried to shorten it after I saw how it posted.)
DeleteThanks for helping me out of my anonymity, Mister Sister. :)
Your Welcome! And We thank you for your kind words. Cynical has written the past few months, and I know she thanks you too!
DeleteKurdled - if you put any kind of punctuation (like an apostrophe, etc.) in your name, it goes that "'" crap instead.
DeleteEven though the party line is no sex unless you intend to make babies - I'm quite sure that a lot of AUB members (including Kody and crew) ignore that and do as they please.
DeleteI've long suspected that Janelle and Christine had been removed from the "rotation". ExAUB adds credibiity to this theory.
ReplyDeleteTo the SWB moderators:
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work and great blog. One thing I have noticed in the last two weeks is a flood of duplicate comments being published within any given 24/48 hour period. I'm sure many of my fellow commentors would agree this is disappointing
I would like to suggest that the moderators refrain from publishing so many repititions of the same question/comment within a 24 hour or 48 hour period, as I think that will make a more enjoyable reading experience
We agree,and if the comment area is filling up quick we do. We also don't want to hurt feelings. Hopefully golks will read this and know it's so helpful to read before posting, and to post under reply if there is already that topic started!
DeleteU.S., ask Canada what they think of Polygamy!
ReplyDeletebut is Winston Blackmore in jail for it??
DeleteI think it's important for TLC monitors to see the majority and minority views on the Brown family circus. I like to read the consensus but LOVE to read the descension.
DeleteI'm sure Canada doesn't like polygamy any better than the U.S. but the fact remains they haven't prosecuted Winston Blackmore for it either. I don't think he's the animal that Warren Jeffs is but there is record that Blackmore also allowed child brides.
DeleteJust want to say, ALL OF US, love ALL OF YOU that work this blog! No gripes from ME! How bored we would be to not come talk with our interest friends that we have a common interest in something!
ReplyDeleteI'm not on every day, but have been here abt. from the start. Just because I don't post much anymore, doesn't mean I don't read- in fact I read EVERY POST!
I do, too.
DeleteExtremely bright and hilarious posts on this site. It my wonderful guilty pleasure that I found about 1 month ago, and I'm loving it!
Thanks, SWB and all posters. :D
If childbearing is the only reason to be in the rotation, then I think Robyn might have offered up surrogacy plan to make Meri admit she does not want more children.(she almost said as much) That removes her from the rotation & makes Robyn an evil genious!
ReplyDeleteI suspect Kody put Robyn up to making that offer. And I agree with your guess as to why. Kody only wants to boink Robyn.
DeleteIt's like NachoGate...going on national TV and telling Meri he will swap the "natural" way of getting pregnant for in vitro. Meri wants it to "happen naturally". It's like Meri is pleading with him not to be put out to pasture
wooo kat40 - that is an intersting theory!!!
DeleteI agree Paw print... I think Kody & Robyn worked it out together. He pressed Meri to decide in Mexico. I also think Meri is doing the " keep my enemies even closer" thing with Robyn. I think that is genius!( I can really spell...LOL)
ReplyDeleteWow Wow Wow absolutly love love this blog. As many of the other posters I have discontinued watching the show I just come here for recaps and that is enough for me. I have been reading and doing a little of my own investigation on this polygamy lifestyle and it is just a truely sad way of life. Mostly for women but also for the young men/ youth as well. Heartbreaking...Please read Shattered Dreams or any of the Jessop womens books also there are many people in the Utah Arizona area that are trying to uncover the abuses of polygmay, uncovering baby cemetaries trying to get the authorities to do something but it is so indoctrined into most of the officials that hold office that they are up against a brick wall..Please pray for those that are in this lifestyle as the children have no voice.. Sorry for the long post but also the Kingston clan have two quite lucrative businesses in Las Vegas the Mountain Coin and the Standard Restraunt Supply companies. Both have customers such as Circus Circus Luxor Excalibur the Stardust and more. Could this also explain the move to vegas maybe they are not as alone as they would like us to believe. Cant believe they would be in the gaming business such hypocrisy but thats what they are all about
ReplyDeletei so agree. i know we focus on the negs for just the women/kids because of the show, but yeah - in reality, there's really a lot of negs for the men, too. it screws their heads up and kills their souls and capacity for compassion. then there's the lost boys or the men who fall out of favor and lose their families all together.
DeleteKody's not the happiest camper himself. and i think he's about as good as it gets. Joe Darger also comes across as a complete stern, control freak - both with his stepford wives as well as his kids. like a well-run military camp without a lot of fun-loving joy and compassion.
when you think about it - it's flat out humanly impossible for any man to spread himself as thin as he would have to in order to be emotionally present at any given time for a particular wife or kid that needs his time and attention. of course, for sanity sake, they eventually just have to learn to shut down emotionally themselves.
Here's something that really irked me. Excuse me if I missed a post on this, I think I read them all.
ReplyDeleteWHY did they make such a BIG DEAL about UTAH after them, tears, leaving, etc..., THEN NOT say ONE word about them deciding that they were not going to proscute this season? GEEZ, what suckers we are. Not that I think they will get in any trouble, but yet, they don't even bother to finish a storyline, nor say something positive. I really wish they would do something, all they are doing, in effect, is allowing polygamy to go on and on, and those poor women and children in basically confinement don't know there's a good outside world.
I took a name! PLEASE EVERYONE,TAKE A NAME! Change it next post if you want, it does help.
Yes, Tickle Me Pink, it is called the boogeyman discipline. Reminds me of that movie, The Village, by Shalaman. As long as there is a threat maybe they can keep all the kids in line & in Vegas. Also, Kody gets to play hero for protecting the family. He is way more scary to us but we have a broader view. Those kids break my heart, especially the girls. I was raised in a very Patriarchal family & even when u find out it can b different, the voice of ur past still whispers those negative lessons in ur head.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever mentioned the fact that Kody has a motorcycle as well as the sports cars, etc.? Sorry if this has been broached. I'm new to posting but generally read all of what is written and haven't noticed anything about his motorcycle. When I first noticed it was when they were leaving Utah and some vehicle broke down. They had to have it towed to some kind of repair shop and Kody, who was still behind, for some reason, pulled in on his very nice bike to check out the car fixing estimate, etc. Maybe this was during a trip to Y-oming or something but I'm thinking it was when they were "forced" to flee Utah wildly. Whichever. Did anyone notice this motorcycle? I believe they also showed it at the vacation home that they rented when they arrived in Vegas. How did he afford all t his crap when his wives were driving such hideous vehicles? I see they've all gotten new cars, thank goodness. This coming from a woman who drives a 1997 van, (cargo type that I use for camping so no seats other than front), and a 1997 Nissan, lol. At least my perpetual fiance sees to it that they stay in good running condition. Boy, I'm starting to blather on now. OK, more later....
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, we've noticed it! Thanks for reminding me. I don't remember how much we've written about it, except maybe in season 1 or 2 when were aghast he had one! Yes, let's not forget, food stamp user in nice care and motorcycle. Geez.
Deletei've not seen him on it at all in Vegas. He must have sold it or left it in Lehi. He had to rent two for him and his brother's "boys night out" episode. Doubt he would have rented one for himself if he had one there in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I saw one sitting outside of that large rental they used until they could find smaller ones. However, these days, my memory isn't 100% since I'm now in my late forties. OMG, I just hate saying late forties but there is no getting around it when one is 48. Thanks for the reply. I'm enjoying posting on here. I work from home, for the most part, so I'm able to peruse this whilst doing other things. L.H.
DeleteGuessing it's garaged in Lehi at their house. he's probably the only family member with a Class M license, and I didn't see it being towed during the Escape To Las Vegas. Or maybe it belonged to a friend to begin with? OR maybe Kody doesn't have a motorcycle license? Wasn't he riding behind his brother in that ep?
Deletemaybe you did see it and he sold it in Vegas right after they moved there.
DeleteI want to say thank you along with the others here to Cynical Jinx & Mister Sister for maintaining this blog. Whatever happened to Terrasola & Pretty in Pink? Hope they are ok.
ReplyDeleteMy only issue with the comments are there is no way to view just the newest comments. With the option of "Reply" one must almost go through every comment from the beginning if you want to find new comments. Is there a way to change that? As far as posting comments that are similar I think it's because it's just too much to go through all the comments looking for updated comments in the "Reply" section. This is NOT meant to be critical at all - just my observation. I appreciate all the work that must go into maintaining a blog like this and there really do seem to be a LOT more people on here than at the beginning so you're doing it right!
I'm totally agreeing with the above posters about Robyn hoarding all the "Kody love" to herself. Perhaps Christine was playing pyschological sexual warfare with Kody because she's mad at him by making that remarks about being done with having kids. She's basically saying "My legs are closed to you now buddy." I don't believe for one single solitary minute that Kody has sex for the sole purpose of procreation however (in his own mind that is, what he says out loud is another thing entirely). He's got a constant buzz!
This post full, Thanks!
