Robyn's Secret
In hopes of establishing their new
homes, the family decides to bury a time capsule to symbolize putting
down their roots. Later, the Browns hold their first church service
since moving in and Robyn reveals some shocking secret from her past.
Robyn in her glossy TLC photo, Newlywed.
Let's see how marriage is wearing on her 3 years later.
My all time fav picture of Robyn.
Oldie of the blog but goodie.
So, you have us, what's the secret? Spoilers will be added asap as they are seen, so don't read below if you want to stay surprised.Methinks she thought Janelle and Meri was getting too much air time.

Brown Family Confessions
The Brown family is bringing it home! The Browns invite viewers into their home to answer more in depth questions about their plural marriage lifestyle. But this time, they invite their teenagers to join the discussion.
Natalie Morales-Rhodes, where are you? Have they been so rocked by your questions wanting *gasp* honesty, the family will be huddled by a computer with pre programmed questions again?
**We've been informed this is a rerun. Here's hoping ANDY COHEN jumps ship and interviews the Browns this year! Anyone with me?
_______
Christine, you have the prettiest outside of the homes.
**Note. Many have asked about when the Home Tours below were filmed. I've seen a recent picture of Janelle. Judging from her FANTASTIC weight loss, I would guess the filming was shortly after the families moved in, before filming ended Jan 2013. Don't forget the poll!
Some Tweets and a Message about Posting......
Another one of Meri's retweets that makes you go hmmm...
We can’t lose what we never had, we can’t keep what’s not ours, we can’t hold on to someone who doesn't want to stay, but we still hope.

Robyn retweets of how those darn nasty Credit Bureau's aren't fair! It can't be her bad management of money that caused her problems...her Priestholder told her so. My daddy always taught me to own your mistakes.
The Credit Show is on KDWN right now. Today--The Fair Credit Report Act & how the bureaus don't comply!! http://t.co/EpUuV2050G

Lifetime's "Escape From Polygamy"
Recently-widowed Leann and her 17-year-old daughter Julina move into an isolated polygamous compound, where the freethinking Julina meets like-minded Ryder, son of the religious compound’s charismatic Prophet, Ervil. Immediately drawn to one another, the two begin to secretly meet and soon fall in love. Threatened by his son’s budding attraction to Julina, Ervil claims God has instructed him to take Julina as his new wife so they can build a new community in Mexico. When Ryder and Julina learn of Ervil’s intent to destroy their relationship, they begin to plan their escape. However, Ervil intercedes and banishes Ryder from the sect, leaving him in a remote area of the desert so he can no longer endanger his plan to marry Julina. Wandering for miles, Ryder arrives in Las Vegas, where he finds his old friend and excommunicated “lost boy” Micah and enlists his help to rescue Julina. Back at the compound, Leann and her sister-wives also begin to realize Ervil’s role as Prophet is not as sacred as they originally believed and set out to save Julina and reunite her with her true love, Ryder.
And some twists and turns...I thought this was going to be LAME but actually really caught my attention with Ester. Sadly, the abuse seen, mothers losing their daughters to marriage, happens not only in Fundamental Mormon families but is widespread. Did you watch it? Thoughts?
Gossip away my SW family!
Robyn is pregnant
ReplyDeleteMeri's tweet reminds me of a funny circulating the internet some years back. She's left off "However, if that someone you set free is still sitting on your couch guzzling beer and crunching chips, you're totally stuck." The real statement was much funnier but you get the drift. Lots of her pontificating statements lack a good punch line.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI, my cable synopsis says the 2nd episode is a repeat from last year, with the teenagers. That would be the one where Kody sent them out of the room after the first couple of questions?
ReplyDeleteRobin's going to confess she got married to someone she didn't love.
Well BLEH! My guide did not state date nor rerun.
ReplyDeleteMy guide says 1/2 hour new at 9, repeat at 9:30. Streeeeeech it out?
ReplyDeleteOf course. In my opinion, they only filmed about 10 days this time. rehash rehash houses.
DeleteIf Robyn doesn't get the marbles out of her mouth, she'll be with Honey Boo Boo and subtitles.
"If Robyn doesn't get the marbles out of her mouth, she'll be with Honey Boo Boo and subtitles."
DeleteHysterical...and SOOOO true !!
I think Robyn's secret will be something like she had a miscarriage or abortion during her younger years/first marriage.
ReplyDeleteI think what she said was pretty embarrassing and I can't imagine how her kids felt. She did sort of backpedal and talk about how much she loves her son but she really knows how to center the show around her. It seems more directed at the girls and not at the boys.
DeleteOkay, I watched Escape From Polygamy.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was fine. I wouldn't pay money to see it at a theater, but it was fun in a Big Love kind of way to watch it with a bowl of popcorn.
I have to admit I do enjoy watching William Mapother. I think he is a much better actor than his more celebrated cousin. Also, I chuckle when I think how his cousin would look if he hadn't had his nose done! Bwahahahahaha!!!
I watched and thought that the point of Ester was really heartbreaking. I have a friend that her son married what SEEMED to be an ok family, and he had to choose 2 days after the wedding between his family and his bride (pregnant). He was a young man with severe detachment issues from being adopted and abandoned by his birth mother at 2.
DeleteThen they ALL moved to a farm, with gates. That type of thing happens far too often to any religion, I am afraid. They knew he would be vulnerable due to his adoption and used it against him with his own child. It's been a year, and their son that loved them hasn't called. The mom called him and he seemed so glad to hear from her, until his wife hung up the phone.
I've read 7 autobiographies and biographies about polygamy. All Big Love storylines came from actual events in various polygamous groups over the years. And the flight to Mexico and groups of plygs living there is real. Lifetime did it's usual sudsy light job taking on almost too many aspects of polygamy for a short film. The girl was dressed similar to Nikki in Big Love, a stylish version of the usual garb. Points for highlighting the real story of the Lost Boys of Utah along with showing the plight of girls in the communities.
DeleteI have also read 6-7 books about Scientology. It is a very abusive cult and people have to literally escape from it too. Perhaps that is why Tom Cruise's cousin took the role of a Warren Jeffs type. Mapother is a really interesting character actor but Jeffs is much, much crazier than this fictional prophet: he banned music, the colors pink & red, books, the internet, tv, phones, and made the compound schools non-accredited. He re-assigned wives & children to other men with crazed abandon. And although Jeffs is well-known and in prison for raping young girls in forced marriages, there are just as many stories about him abusing boys in a sinister sexual way. Total perv. -cj
CJ, I saw William Mapother in In The Bedroom many years ago, and agree his a terrific actor, better than you-know-who.
DeleteI think Mapother took the role because he loves acting, not as an indictment on his cuz's religion. And because he isn't as pretty as his cousin, he is free to exercise his acting chops in more varied roles. I highly recommend watching his movie "Another Earth" if you can. He's quite believable in that role.
DeleteI also didn't see this "prophet" he portrayed as being a Warren Jeffs type. I saw Jeffs, Blackmore, Harmston, LeBaron - you name him and the screenwriters probably threw it into the script.
Basically, they took Romeo and Juliet and changed it with what's going on in today's society and added a much happier ending. I don't think Lifetime was aiming for this movie to be a documentary of polygamy.
I agree. Lifetime wanted a sappy, star-crossed/struggling lovers movie and they put it in the plyg scenario for the drama effect.
DeleteIt did have some real moments for me,thanks to SWB.
Some of the heavy abusive scenes rang horribly true.
But on the whole, it was a saccharin 2 hours of Hollywood storytelling.
I thought the movie was at the standard of a typical Lifetime movie and it did keep my attention. It had the happy ending that we all want to see so it was a bit unrealistic in that regard.
ReplyDeleteHave y'all seen Robyn's latest tweet? Is this directed to the blog???
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, she's always posting crap like that. Whatya think Cinny-Poo??
DeleteTweet above for your viewing pleasure.
DeleteShe does seem awfully sensitive for someone who offers her private life up for public viewing.
DeleteAlso saw the tweet where she said Dayton is "allowed" to take breaks from the family because of his Aspergers. Maybe it's finally dawned on her that putting a camera in the poor kid's face while he adjusts to a new house, new dad, 3 bonus moms and a small army of siblings is not a great idea. At least it explains why we haven't seen him!
Once one of the girls (madison or aspyn--I forget) said that dayton paedon and garrison all tend to migrate together, in a group. I found that pretty good, that he is able to socialize, but have his own home to retreat when he has enough.
DeleteI think TLC needs to update the opening of the show intro. Janelle looks so much better, so does Christine!! Meri, Robyn and Kody all look like hell now :)
ReplyDeleteI agree and wonder why they don't!
DeleteKody can take those caramels and put them where the sun does not shine!!!! Sorry, I am watching last weeks episode now for the first time!
ReplyDeleteMy guide is also saying tonites new episode is only a half hour.
ReplyDeleteEscape from polygamy, IMO was a good movie. It seemed to drag from a lot of different groups, but FLDS mostly. It showed the good and the tons of bad. It had a surprise at the end, and a happily ever after. I think its going to be re-airing a few times on lifetime. Its worth a watch.
ReplyDeleteNot watching but waiting for the spoilers! So exciting to hear reactions immediately! Love reading the blog. Thanks to all who comment and especially all the creators like Cynical Jynx and regulars like Carmel Brownie (don't let the Krody ruin your name). Will be reading tonight!
ReplyDeleteMe too! :D
DeleteThis blog was started by Mister Sister...! I thank her!
DeleteI thank Mister Sister too! Without her, SWB wouldn't be here! And all the wonderful commenters too!
DeleteAwww, poor Caramel Brownie! ;) Her name will now be a Kody Klown contest. Maybe she should be called 'Fake Store-bought Caramel' Brownie from now on. I've had the pleasure of meeting Miss CB in person, and she is awesome.
DeleteHere we go, abt 1 minute!
ReplyDeleteFor you...and I don't have True Blood to tie me over any more...
DeleteI tell you what, PsychoSisterWife, Eric Northman would never have to beg me, that's for sure.
DeleteKody is having a very wonderful experience....but the adults adjusting to be together.
ReplyDeleteHis words lol
Deletethey are neighbors is that to much for these people? they dont like each other enough to be next door to each other? i wonder who exactley is having a problem
DeleteBarf alert about adjusting to being together. Church is starting!
ReplyDeleteHunter is bored at church.
ReplyDeleteChristine is talking about everything they have God gave them.
ReplyDeleteKody:
ReplyDeleteI asked Robyn to give a message about Chastity or sexual purity.
When she was a teenager, she was chaste. When she got into college?????? (that's new)
ReplyDeleteShe questioned everything.
Did she say her senior year in college? Righttttt
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought... college? Did she get her Wizard's hat?
DeleteI think she said 'my senior year and into college', so I think she meant her senior year in high school.
DeleteGoing to college was mporunt
DeleteHey, Mister Sister . . . there WAS a character called "Moaning Myrtle' at Hogwarts. She could share her quarters with Sobyn Robyn!!
DeleteRobyn is babbling on the couch. I need subtitles. She was angry she'd been so good for so long and she gave her purity to someone who begged for it. She gave EVERYTHING TEARS into that MARRIAGE.
ReplyDeleteOh French no she didn't.
It makes me mad too!
DeleteHere we go.... I got my bargain bag ready. Lol
ReplyDeleteNow I am mad. She went there. She is putting their father on the chopping block.
ReplyDeleteI know right!!! I can't believe she did that to her kids... I wouldn't be surprised if those girls turn their backs on their mom years down the road when all this really sinks in. NOT COOL Robyn!
Deletedj
OMFG!!!! Watching tonites episode now- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
ReplyDeleteRobbin inserts "you know" into every single sentence. I'm watching with CC on and whoever had to transcript it must have gone crazy, you know?
ReplyDeleteKody is dipping into Meri's pot of orange.
The kids (and adults) look bored to tears in church.
She really did. Please, God, don't let it be with her kids father! ... and, why were the younger kids not taken out of the room? In any normal church (cough, think i answered my question), young children would be excused for these kind of topics.
ReplyDeleteTwo stories about 2 girls. Your purity. If you give your purity to your husband it will bring you happiness.
ReplyDeleteI didn't give my purity to my husband...hell....we still had a hell of a lot of years having a lot of fun.
DeleteOkat...she was a slut. Oh yeah. She got around. Oh yeah, she got pregnant. But, she gave her purity to Kody...there's no purity the bitch had three kids before Kody, had sex before marriage, then is having sex with a married man. GOOD GOD THIS BITCH IS NUTS. TLC please do subtitles.
DeleteNUTS KOOKOO, I will never hold back on her AGAIN.
DeleteWith all her rambling I'm not I understood correctly?????? Does Dayton have a different father than her girls? I'm confused, you know...
Deletedj
I thought she said period lol
ReplyDeleteHere comes the tears, the begged for it shizz.
ReplyDeleteHe took her purity and he threw it on the ground.... it was her first kiss..... AND SHE GOT PREGNANT out of WEDLOCK.
Yes, folks, right in front of these girls.
And, so have a lot of other people, especially in the last 15 years. Seriously, no matter how she said it, no matter how much she tries to explain it to Dayton, she just did an epic fail as a parent. That's private, and there was no need to announce it to the world. We can all count the months between her marriage and when he was born, enough said. .
DeleteAbsolutely love Hunter, he's turning into Logan 2.0
>> We can all count the months between her marriage and when he was born, enough said. >>
DeleteExactly! It's not really new news to anyone who has been paying attention for the last three years.
It's one thing to regret something in the past and share it- it is really another to share it with THE WORLD. In front of your kids(!) and especially the kid that was the result of the biggest mistake of her life. Holy cow!
I am actually super embarrassed for Robyn right now- what a goof she is!!!!
ReplyDeleteabortion?
ReplyDeleteNo it was her husband. Nice job Robyn!!!!!!! Thanks for putting that in her daughters head thier daddy was a Baaaaadddd man.
DeleteOk, I am so mad, so someone take over and tell the rest of her blubber.
ReplyDeleteShe got pregnant. OMG
ReplyDelete"He kind of stole it from me".... REALLY ?!?! Personal responsibility, anyone?
ReplyDeleteSo like she basically played the victim - she didn't give her purity away it was taken!!! UNREAL!!!!!
Deletedj
DEEP sigh. That pissed me off! "He kind of stole it from me" If he kind of stole it from you then he RAPED you. And I think that to phrase it that way is a real slap in the face to women who have been sexually assaulted.
DeleteSo the twat is admitting her kids are a mistake???
ReplyDeleteIt's "em-poor-ent" OMG she drives me nutz.
ReplyDeleteWasn't she the one that said "slickery" when they were ice blocking in the1st or 2nd season?
DeleteRobyn and her purity story has pissed me off tonight. Why would she do that to her children?
ReplyDeleteShe didn't say she got pregnant out of wedlock, just before meeting her true husband, Kody.
ReplyDeleteI will have to watch it again tomorrow. She has sickened me to the ends of the earth. Who doesn't have an ex you'd like to rip, or a friend's?
DeleteTHERE ARE KIDS HERE FOLKS>
No, she says she DID get pregnant with Dayton out of wedlock to her first husband very plainly.
DeleteMy husband is yelling.
ReplyDeleteIt's no more HIS fault than HERS.
He didn't rape her, stop RAPING HIM on TV!
so did she have an abortion or??
ReplyDeleteI had a coughing fit and missed what she said. did she have sex with someone other then her kids dad?
ReplyDeleteShotgun wedding.
DeleteYup....it's about purity.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she got pregnant but not by her first husband? Maybe he married her pregnant? I'm so confused. Who edits this show? All the recap and previews I can't tell the present time show from those.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting that they cut away to her and Krody alone for "the rest of the story" which makes us wonder how much of this drivel she's telling the kids. And yeah, there goes that old wives tale that you get pregnant from kissing! Jeez, she's had kids, she must know it takes a little more than that!
ReplyDeleteGod. I can't believe she did that, especially with the little kids there.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think the therapy bills for these poor kids will rival the cost of the McMansions after this?? Wow...
ReplyDeleteAnd, we the public will pay for it.
DeleteAre the shows from here on out (now that they are in their houses) going to be 30 min instead of the hour? Is it that they don't have anything good to talk about anymore?
ReplyDeleteThe ten year olds are wide eyed. The teens are uncomfy.
ReplyDeleteNow an adoption commercial. I'm a fan of adoption, just interesting.
So dramatic. Geesh. Another crying session from Sobbin.
ReplyDeleteThat "B".....Had NO respect for Robin before but now....man it is WAY in the negatives....SHAME on her...SHAME!!!! Her poor children.
ReplyDeleteBirth Control Robyn. Geez. Now the sotry of how she should have been with Kody from day one.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I know! The moral of the story is that there are free contraceptives at any number of health clinics if you want them. Did she even know who Kody was back in the day? I hate this bc it makes it seem as if she wishes her children were never born.
DeleteWay to make Dayton feel like shit.
ReplyDeleteNow her son has found out in front of this "new true" family that he was the product of his mother giving her virginity and feeling like she had to marry him. And his sisters have also learned that they were born to the "wrong" man and bad situation. I can't believe this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its disgusting. I'm glad I'm only half paying attention.
DeleteI'm wiped out, was babysitting for my awesome 3 month old niece!
WAY TO GO HUNTER
ReplyDeleteHe believes it's ok to have sex before marriage if you are committed.
Mariah got 10,000 from the college.
The biggest question will be if she got 10,000 for all four years or 40,000 divided by the 4 years? Not bragging, well ok bragging, my daughter received 12,000 for each of her 4 years of undergraduate!!
DeleteSo proud
dj
Shame on her! Shame on her for talking about her "husband at the time." Where are the concepts of forgiveness and kindness now? I've tried to be non-judgmental about this show, but now I am becoming physically sick at the thought of this continuing. When Mykelti said that the speech had inspired her to do "nothing," I was again angered. There should still be freedom to explore and make some choices, rather than being scared/sympathize into not doing anything.
ReplyDeleteI also want to see such celebration for other children and their college acceptance/scholarships. Bleh.
She is throwing her son (the pregnancy), her ex-husband and her daughters under the bus. Does she not realize that if she did not make the choices that she has, she would not have these children.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha... died laughing when one of the sons said he thought sex before marriage was a-okay. Clearly the kids took her speech to heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there was Dayton!
ReplyDeleteSave your puuurity girls, then go on TV and have a child and show your woo hoo and not be married. NUTS NUTS NUTS.
ReplyDeletePromo says "hot seat" episode with questions is new next week.
ReplyDeleteIf the marriage was so freakin' hard, why the hell did she go and have 2 more kids with her ex???
ReplyDeleteOh, "you can get your purity back" can you, Kody?! What a freakin' idiot!
I mean the message, save sex for marriage, isn't the worst idea in the world.
$10,000 scholarship for Mariah? That's peanuts for a private college and if she realty was that much of a superstar, it would be full tuition (which still doesn't cover the whole deal: room and board, books, etc.)
Ah, crap, still the baby sh*t?! No doctor in their right mind would take Meri's old eggs and try to create a baby with them, even if someone else rents out their womb to her! So then they'd need to use donor eggs and then what's the point!
And we didn't even get a freakin answer either. Although Kody said he has thoughts floating around.
DeleteWow, the suspense. Zzz.
I was thinking the same thing about the marraige. LOL It was so aweful she kept having kids with him!!
DeleteWestminster is around 40 grand a year. Only 10 grand in scholorships makes me think they have been telling some fibs about Mariah and her wonderful accomplishments. I'm sure Meri will expect the family to all chip in equally. It's fair and all for Christine and Janelle to feed their kids hot dogs twice a week to make Mariahs dreams come true!!
As someone who has done IVF before I think they are already trying and doing cycles. A lot of the odd changes to Meri's face/body look steroid related to me. I think that this whole wishy washy nonsense is BS to save face for the failed treatments. Everyone knows how much Meri wants A) attention and B) a baby. A pregnancy would give her both. However, If Robyn has the baby for her that blows Meri's attention seeking efforts out of the water. Using Meri's eggs would be a useless effort; they have been proven over the years to be bad and she's way to old now. Of course when has Meri ever acted like a rational, sane, adult?
I just calculated her tuition, room and board for one year (two semesters). It's 37,708.00 and that's NOT including books and supplies. It does include a meal plan. So that 10,000 will help with not even 1/3 of it will be covered.
DeleteMeri isn't ready to give up the fantasy of trying to have a baby with Kody. If she says no to having a baby, that whole intimate part of their relationship will be over. Aspyn deserves as much praise as Mariah. Asypyn is gorgeous.
DeleteLong time stalker and I just had to comment. Had to!
ReplyDeleteRobyn disgusts me. I want to scream at her. How dare she cry over getting pregnant. That pregnancy turned into her daughter. WTF is wrong with her. I would never go on national tv and do that. So she is pretty much saying her daughter IS the reason why she spent years in an abused relationship. WTF! WTF! She is a piece of crap and she threw her children's father under the bus for ratings. I just cannot watch this garbage anymore. Robyn should be ashamed of herself and give her daughters an apology for publicly embarrassing them.
ignore...put daughter instead of son.
DeleteIf I was unsure about not liking Robyn last week, I sure as hell know I can't stand her now!!!! She is an asshole!!! I swear if the start on this merri and baby thing again, this is the last episode I will be watching!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is coming clean about her story because someone else has decided to do it for her if she didn't. Just can't believe she did this on front of her kids. I noticed they did not show Janelle during her talk and that Christine looked uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteCan I get my puurrrrty back?
ReplyDeleteMy husband (2nd) is laughing is freaking ass of at me!!!!!!
Eewwwww yuck!
ReplyDeleteSick people! Enough! Way too much information. W
My husband and I were just chatting, this conversation I think is good but for the older kids. Not the younger ones. However, I also have a HUGE issue with how she portrays her ex. I'm just thankful I can say I treat my ex a load better for my son than she does for her children. Shame on her.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah right...save your purity but then have sex and babies with a married man! What a message for those kids AND I agree the little ones should not have been there.
ReplyDeleteThat woman is what some southerners would call "Mentally"
ReplyDeleteMission statement of course not in time capsule.
Mariah thinks the Mission Statement is stupid. I guess we know what Meri thinks!
Temporary Robin...ummm think these house are going to be temporary...don't know how they are going to be able to keep them after this show FINALLY goes away.
ReplyDeleteIMHO she could have just told a story without personalizing it. I feel so horrible for her children. They have to endure this humiliation on national tv. Shame on HER !! She sickens me ! Her children must feel like dog poo on a shoe.
ReplyDeleteWay to justify yourself. Step right up folks! Say you were BEGGED for it and regain your chaste self!
ReplyDeleteNO ANSWER on BABY!
ReplyDeleteOf course not. I don't know why I would ever think that there would be... how many seasons later are we all still wondering?
DeleteThey will drag out the "exciting" baby decision (yawn) for the entire next season. Mark my words. What else have they got unless Logan marries a Vegas dancer and moves into Janelle's. Frankly I wouldn't miss that episode.
Deleteor until Meri's eggs dry up. Even if Robyn had been there day one, Meri would be thinking about it.
DeletePlease call it - we've finally jumped the shark with episode...
ReplyDeleteCome on, I wish Janelle would say enough and walked out on Robyn.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Janelle, did you catch her comment 'Las Vegas was the first time I ever felt like a single mother because I missed my support system'. We all know Janelle moved out for two years or more, what was she then.... a single mother.
Deletemaybe when she moved out is was closer to her family so she wasn't alone?
Deletedid she say where she moved in the book?
Because they all lie! Janelle and Christine, even though their personalities are more likable, lie just as much as Sobbin and Meri. The whole family is in cahoots and lie their faces off to grift their way through life. It's sick. After tonight I am just sick of all 5 of these people. Robyn said it but they were all in on it, they all allowed her to say this to their kids. She is just an ass. They are all asses. My mother said similar things about my Dad when he left her and I hated her for YEARS. It was hard to build back our relationship. Those poor kids. I just feel for all of those kids to be raised by such terrible, unscrupulous parents.
DeleteShe kissed kody and that was a no no. I think her young 19 self thought giving the kiss away was already giving away purity so why not go all the way?
ReplyDeleteWhy is Mariah not covering shoulders?
EXACTLY! How is she pure when she kissed a married man (Kody) before she was married to him?
DeleteI'm on the West Coast so I haven't seen the show yet, but I just graduated from a priavate college...$10K is all she got? That barely covers a full load of 13 credits (if that's a full load at her school)...I don't know what room and board cost at her school, but $5K a semester won't cover it...helloooooo student debt!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to call this: Meri will agree to go ahead with the baby idea, even though she's said (in Mexico) "no" to this. Then there will be the "heartbreak" of her being told she's too old, or if God forbid some quack starts the process with them, then it will be all about the hormone shots and the procedures only to have the heartbreak of either not getting pregnant, or not having viable eggs.
ReplyDeleteI mean, here we are 8 months later and she's not preggers.
You know, I hadn't thought that much about it, but I would bet money on your prediction. Ugh... why do we keep torturing ourselves with this trainwreck?!
DeleteRobynn went there!!!! Wtf??? Her poor kids!!! I hope the father goes after her and sues her for slander!!! Yuck!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree she just said eluded that he raped her on national television!
DeleteI agree..what.I totally took away from this episode is she thinks he raped her. Hello, where it's her personal responsibility in all this? Just cause a guy asks for it doesn't mean you have to comply. If you do comply... that is not rape. I feel terrible for her children. She just publically bashed their father. I have some things in the past that weren't right. I however believe that even though I made some wrong turns those wrong turns led me to where I am today.
DeleteGlad y'all mentioned her mush mouth. I thought I needed my ears checked cause I can't understand a darn thing she says anymore.
I simply can not get over what Robyn decided to do to her children. That's HER well thought out in her crazy mind, way of justifying her lack of birth control and self control.
ReplyDeleteWill her ex comes out and slam her? I have a feeling he cares more than she ever ever ever will.
Maybe her ex will decide enough is enough, and will take legal action for custody etc. Would make for lots more drama and more boring cliffhanger episodes. would probably involve home refinancing or foreclosures as they would be looking for spendy legal counsel. Regarding purity issue.....should be private one on one with your child when age and situation appropriate not this blubbering mess on national tv. Also, usual double standard since the polyg women need to be pure for their husband, who after the first wife is used/spoiled goods.
DeleteI wish he had buried Robyn instead of the time capsule.
DeleteEven with the time capsule it seems that this is the Robyn show. I do not want to hear anymore of her comments or storyines. Of course Meri has finally decided- she's decided how to again draw this stupid stuff out so she can have some more attention too.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I am thankful for from this episode is that we saw a clearer glimpse of the type of person Robyn really is. Again, I try to stay non-judgmental as I am far from perfect, but this is disgusting. Also, looking at Janelle in these older episodes I really do see the difference!! Good for her :)
Interesting that both Meri and Janelle were silent on twitter through that whole debacle.
ReplyDeleteWas Royn-Mentally challenged idiot?
DeleteJust caught Kody's comment - he should know if the kids are dating & should counsel them!! Hah!!! Now I've heard everything... (Recently found the blog - love it!)
ReplyDeleteAnd the Purity ring is for sale tomorrow! Another major failure!
ReplyDeleteHello first time posting on this blog but the entrance to the television show has always bothered me. Robyn's voice over always says " Seems like destiny. Like we all should have been together from day one." That's always struck me the wrong way and now after watching tonight episode it is apparent that Robyn does wish her children had a different father and did anyone else get the sinking feeling that she was implying he raped her?
ReplyDelete$10,000 is a decent award. Don't want to take away thunder.
ReplyDeleteBut I find it odd a person who had only a few years in regular education got a scholarship award. They were homeschool and co op schooling for the longest time. I don't know if her whole high school was in traditional schooling? She must have made a good transition.
An episode referred to the other students attending the church school having to get their GED because the schools accreditation was not up to par. That happened during season 1 when Mariah first said she wanted to be a doctor.
DeletePrivate colleges have a lot of financial assistance, grants, scholarships, work study and whatever. So while $10k is a drop in the bucket it helps, and hard telling what this "scholarship" all entails. She was in National Honor Society in high school, but that doesn't mean getting a free ride anywhere, lots of kids in NHS. Maybe she can have Robin assist her, as we find out this week that she was at one time a senior in college, don't know if got a degree or not.She was probably an English major though!
DeleteAs a divorced father, I can tell you that having a mother slam a father in front of their children is quite common. I decided to walk away when the visitation weekends turned to arguments every weekend - I hoped I was doing the right thing by our child, but found he is now very bitter towards me now that he's an adult. There are no winners in divorces that involve children.
ReplyDeleteRobyn's tweets during the show are not exciting, but I will put them up with the next post.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for Robyn's kids had to hear that. Who wants to hear that you are a mistake?
ReplyDeleteThis episode was a waste of time. Like Sobbin is the only woman that got pregnant when she was young and dumb. Great editing that showed Hunter right after that saying he thought sex before marriage in a committed relationship was ok LOL. Guess now that all the drama is over in regards to buying the houses that the producers are grasping at straws.
ReplyDeleteRobyn...please shut your mouth and protect the privacy of your children! She's a freaking lunatic. Would love to have seen a close-up of divorced Janelle's face during that crap.
ReplyDeleteThere's not much Janelle could really say anyway, since her first husband is Meri's brother. Not like bashing Meri's brother in front of her is even in the same ballpark as what Robyn did.
DeleteSo true anon 9:45...I forgot about that Meri connection! Probably wouldn't have gone over well if Janelle agreed her purity was also stolen by a bad man.
DeleteThat was not much of a lesson than a fear she would be found out and justification.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she spoke like this either. She said infront of her three kids (who are all young, no less) that their Father BEGGED to have sex with her, and then she felt like the only way to make things right after getting pregnant with her first kid, was to stay with this man that she thought was horrible, marry him, and have two more kids with him. Wow. I'm curious- if this was such a bad guy, why do her kids still go see him? If he was really that bad wouldn't she do what she could to keep them from him?
ReplyDeleteIn their religion I think people decide their families in the pre existence? So did her kids chose, or the dad or kody and her or David and her? I think she still thinks and may have religious backing that the children would have existed even if she hadn't married her hubby.
ReplyDeleteWhy did he send them out of the room and not answer?
So folks, how to those girls feel about mean daddy taking mommy's chase-ness ( a Robyn word, in her dictionary) away?
ReplyDeleteGEEZ.
Totally pissed off that Robyn used her story to try and inspire the kids to keep their virginity, while making her own children probably feel like crap. The least she could have done was say that while she made a mistake, she was blessed with 3 wonderful children. I mean, from what little I know about AUB/LDS/etc., these babies are souls waiting to be born. So sure, share your story to the older kids, who maybe need to hear it, but those little ones, especially her own, did not need to hear it. And not on TV. I can already hear the mean kids on the playground. So mad!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk Meri's about to cry again....how DO they cry at a whim like that. My theory is they are depressed. Unless you are a talented actor (not) you can't just cry like that unless you are depressed. Would explain a lot!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say after listening to Robyn's confession.....so wrong of her on every possible level...I feel so sorry for her kids and really, all the kids...they didn't sign up for their lives to be broadcast on TV....I have to admit that I love watching Truely run and dance and be herself, she is a little darling...
ReplyDeleteSo true! It's on again here and I simply can't watch it yet. I am so very sickened by her. That was not even a good lecture. Relate it to GOD and the Bible, maybe?
DeleteSobyn's sob story made her look like a complete rube.
ReplyDeleteSo you should save your purity, but if you give it away foolishly, it can be restored by Jesus and then given to another man who really deserves it? What BS.
And how dare she accuse her ex-husband of only wanting one thing. That man supported Sobyn and their 3 children and Sobyn's Victoria's Secret lifestyle.
Mariah and Dayton are clearly the victims of this circus. Glad Janelle and Christine protect their children. I hope Meri and Robyn at least make more money from TLC for destroying their kids.
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight - she kisses the guy lost her puurrrrrty. Once it is gone, it's gonr for good.
ReplyDeleteBut wait! Somehow she regains it. How, she doesn't explain.
And then she kisses Kody before they were married, but apparently that didn't affect her repurification. I guess since they should have all been together from the start. Since the marriage started over twenty years ago, she would have been about 14. So how does this differ from the sex preverts in the FLDS?
Someone tell me WHAT the secret was!!
ReplyDeleteThe secret was that she lost her virginity and was pregnant when she married her first husband.
DeleteI have gotten over 200 emails from friends telling me what their husbands want me to know. Men! Don't be afraid to tell us!
ReplyDeleteMy husband had an 8 yr old dtr when we married.I asked him what he would do if his ex had done that on live TV. He just looked at me like "oh honey, you know. Don't make me say it."
ATTENTION ROBYN BROWN. You can teach a bible lesson. You can sell joolry without making it a personal story. Geez. You are not that interesting. No wonder the Caramel caper made you laugh so hard.
You are sooo on to something. My ex wife was a raging drug addict. I never told my daughter, our daughter. She could see her when she was well under her mom's supervision. ANY of us, the dad, the mom, can relate to what you are saying.
DeleteTeach your children. Make the lesson about them, not you. Teach them alternatives. Say, birth control. Don't pretend it wasn't there 14 yrs ago.
What no one has said is that Robyn probably FIRMLY believes that Dayton's autism is a punishment from God.
ReplyDeleteI thought about that, too. I don't know a single blessed thing about Robin's ex-husband, but I hope he files for full custody tomorrow.
DeleteUgh this obsession with purity drives me nuts. It's part of why I am no longer an active main stream mormon even though I was raised in it. All staying "pure" got me was single, lonely and depressed at 27 despite years of attending mormon singles activities. Hadn't even kissed anyone at that point. Finally decided I was unwilling to waste my time anymore. Once my dating pool was widened to non mormons it was relatively easy to find someone. First guy I slept with was probably not the best choice but no real regrets. Second man is now my husband. Met him 3 months before I turned 28. A year later we had an unplanned pregnancy resulting in our now 3 year old. Got married 3 weeks before he was born solely because we were told it would be easier at the hospital if we were due to my pregnancy turning high risk.
ReplyDeleteI can't ever imagine giving my son a sobbing talk about purity. Robin needs to learn boundaries and how to be appropriate in front of children. It's ridiculous. Of course I want him to find someone he loves and is committed to but I don't want him to make the mistake I did where some ideal of purity led me to be alone and unhappy in my late 20s. Many of the women I was friends with back in my 20s at lds singles activities are still single in their 30s now. I'd rather have my life now with my little boy and my husband. I no longer need anti depressants as I once did. My life may not be pure by someone else's standards but it is happy instead of empty.
OMG she really did go there. I'm at a loss for words
ReplyDeleteI am soooo disgusted with Robyn right now!!! Her poor kids!!! Anything to be the centre of attention for air time!!! I hope the father sues her dumbass!!!
ReplyDeleteMister Sister, Thank you so much for these Spoilers open posting during the show from you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, hee hee, love it when you have no filter! What fun!
Small personal vindication here....
ReplyDeleteI have disliked Sobbin since day one. Something about her is off, really off.
And I don't mean her stupid, inane, incessant interjections when anyone else is talking. Positioning herself as the know-it-all with her mush mouth delivery.
Nor her pathetic posturing as the sad sack who just wants to fit and be allowed to come in and stay..like a sweet, hungry little puppy left out in the rain.
What I see in Sobbin is a conniving, passive-aggressive shrew. She craves attention as much as Kody and will do *anything* to get it.
Her children deserve so much better than this.
What a Bitch !!!
PLEASE vote in the poll on the right!
ReplyDeleteBeing conceived out of wedlock isn't bad. Being conceived out of wedlock and singled out as a mistake in front of millions of people, by your own mother, is unforgivable. I hope Dayton's dad takes custody of him.
ReplyDeleteI second that.
DeleteI third that and I am not being mean. That woman does not have mental capabilities to properly raise a child. Janelle is not going something right to be with Kody, but luckily, she gave her children the freedom to be who they want. Let's see
DeleteHunter
Logan
Maddie all have said no to polygamy.
See?
David Jessop needs to get custody of those children. He is not with the AUB anymore.
So now all the Brown children know that their older Dad married a young slut.
ReplyDeleteI so would not post much of any of my comments if I weren't so pissed off. Hunter is thinking, if that is purity, give me a girl that has been around the block, WITH A BRAIN.
DeleteAn insult to mothers everywhere. We do not talk to our children like that. ever.
The gender inequity here is also just KILLING me. Krody sitting in the front of the room instead of with the minions. The discussion of Sobbin's "purrrity" but no mention of the man's sexual status. Kody "asking" her to talk about chastity. Because he's their "preisthood holder" blech. I know, I know, it's their religion. But it sucks and I think it's a bad message to pass on to their kids.
ReplyDeleteRobyn starts crying when she says she got pregnant.. Like she's devastated that her son exists. Oh my god, I'm just so disgusted here. How heartless can she be towards her children? And thanks for the melancholy music TLC. *eye roll*. Because the conception of Dayton was such a tragedy. :(
And did y'all see Aurora's face when her narcisstic mom is saying this about regretting her loss of "purrity"? The poor girl looks so distressed. And unlike her mom, she's not acting. :(
Often I cannot understand what Sobyn is saying -and this is with the TV volume turned way up. She is the biggest marble mouthed, slurry speaker. What is wrong with her, a stroke?
ReplyDeleteI said she needs Captions like Honey Boo Boo!
DeleteI have a big feeling that there will be a lot of snark in the new recap. BTW CJ, I read an article that said That Alexander Skarsgard will be back on True Blood. They won't guarantee he will Eric. If that is the case. I may have to throw in the towel. they have ventured from the books so much. It's not even funny. I am on the SW fan page. looks like quite a few people are unhappy with Robin right now. even a few men.
ReplyDeleteI think there is plenty right here for starters.
DeleteOh my....Robyn is explaining to someone on twitter that men must be married to the wives before they "get the cookie". I remember she used this term once before when talking about marrying Kody. So I guess a kiss is OK as long as you don't give him "the cookie" before the faux marriage ceremony? This woman has issues...many, many issues.
ReplyDeleteOk maybe I am missing something. Robin talked about "rebelling" and going out with a boy outside her church or something to that effect.... If this is the same guy she slept with and got pregnant with then it was this Jessop guy - apparently a guy VERY MUCH in her faith, in fact one of the biggest names in polygamy if I remember from previous blogs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, she implies that he "took" it from her - and that it was "all he wanted".... makes it sound like it was forced. All I know is that it came across in a way that sounded like she did not take responsibility for sleeping with him of her own choice and was coerced. I dunno, maybe I heard it all wrong but as we have all stated, so very inappropriate and so cray cray. The look on the kids faces was horrible. Teenagers looked mortified in a different way.
Oh and lastly, the question from the viewer about how does Kody "service" his women in the bedroom - anyone else notice how totally uncomfortable all the women looked. It's like maybe when no one is reminding them otherwise, they each pretend he only sleeps with them or something. It seemed like it hurt them all, including Robyn, to be reminded that their "husband" has relations with other women.
This situation is just untenable. I find it so disturbing. Yet I watch.... Argh.
It's so good to have you back, Mister Sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you girlfriend!!! I've been a bit... crude tonight! Seen it yet?
DeleteLaughing at Robyn tweeting and no one answering. Posting them and YOUR CAFEPRESS next discussion area!!!! What did you think of the show?
Oh my, I don't know where to start. I think that Robyn's purity talk was rather sweetly done, UNTIL she told her story. It was all kinds of inappropriate ! Did she not think of her 3 children at all? What in the world was she thinking? Those poor innocent kids just got thrown under the bus in front of the whole world. If her first husband was such a skunk, why oh why would she have 3 children with him? Imagine how he must feel. I would like to know his side of the story.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Mariah on her scholarship! I hope she has a great college experience.
Between feeling sorry for monogamist women and trashing her kids' father on TV, Robyn is not making many friends these days.
ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely so wrong to do that to her children. I'm still shaking my head. Like I'm really upset with her.
ReplyDeleteI usually just laugh and lurk but tonight episode was just to much!! I cannot believe the lengths that sick twisted woman just went to, to feed that moron Kodys ego. I really hope her ex gets an attorney; subpoenas the tapes from TLC and takes her sorry butt to court for alienation. It's clear he's still in his childrens lives after their Christmas visit. I guess she thinks she can say whatever she wants as long as those CS checks keep coming in to pay her bills. Over the years she's referred to this man as a deadbeat, an abuser, and now tonight she basically called him a rapist. I have a few thoughts...
ReplyDelete1)If this "evil" man stole her precious purity why did she marry him? Why is he the only one accountable for their mutual decision?
2)Am I the only one that noticed that she went from "my first kiss" to "I got pregnant"? Something was skipped....
3)If she was sooooo miserable the whole time with him, why did she contine to have children with him after her first son? She did have 2 more kids with him.
4)Since when can you get your purity back? Is this a rule Kody made up?
5)How is it possible for her to play the starring role in BOTH parts of "A Tale of TWO Girls"?
6)What kind of jerkoff mother referrs to the first 9 years of her childrens lives with terms like, "the worst mistake of my life"
7)I feel sorry for her kids. How humiliating to know you were a mistake and your mothers new freakfest of a life is her true life.
8) I'm not buying Meri's faux fertility story at all anymore. I think they have been doing treatments for a long time now. Her weight gain and all of the redness and puffiness in certain parts of her face are telling of certain fertility meds. I think they have just not been successful and they are selling the story of all of this drama surrounding it. Meri is the type to demand using her own eggs or to try forever to carry the baby herself rather than let Robyn get the attention.
