Let's see....it's been over a month since the season finale of Sister Wives. Looks like the Dargers are stepping up to the challenge of being PFOTUS by making appearances in the courtroom where the Browns lawsuit is being heard, now that poor Kody Brown is still too afraid to step a foot back in Utah. Yeah, right....
Trust me Kody. Being a pretend surfer dude is not a hanging offense in Utah, at least not this week. And from what I can tell, there are no laws against bad haircuts, either. So you're safe...at least for now.
So what have the Browns been up to this past week or so?
Looks like Robyn is still making friends and influencing enemies (or is that making enemies and influencing friends?) ANYWAY, she's up to her old twitter tricks. She must have gotten a book of quotations for Christmas. Now I can understand the frustration of not being able to tell anyone about moving into her McMansion in the cuddle sac, but it looks like she wants to rub all the little people's faces in it. I mean, not even reality 'star' and real-life Countess, Luann DeLesseps would stoop so low as to twitter this philosophical quote to her fans:
"Living well is the best revenge." - George Herbert. :-D.
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) February 6, 2013
I mean, really! What's next...Let them eat cake? Well, to quote the Countess DeLesseps,
"Money can't buy you class...Elegance is earned, my friend"
Right back at ya, Robyn!
Just like last season, Robyn has taken it upon herself to let everyone know the status of her TV show Sister Wives...which means there is no status. But don't tell her that, it will blow her mind!
Hey just to let you all know, we can't answer whether or not we will have a new season or when it starts.That is up to TLC to announce. TYHmmmm....guess Robyn didn't have time to read the EXCLUSIVE report by hollywoodlife.com that TLC announced season 4 was a definite go. Hey Robyn! Here's a link for you and your fans!

Hollywoodlife.com: TLC Renews ‘Sister Wives’ For Fourth Season
I don't know about you guys, but I think this just shows that Robyn definitely has got the smarts needed to make her Sister Wife's Closet a major success. In fact, she even takes the time to lecture a previously troublesome bonus child how being a success takes more than just dumb luck.
Hard work, talent and perseverance will always get you farther dumb luck!Don't break character.You have what it takes @brownboss99!!I think maybe Hunter would have appreciated a simple "Way to go!" but you got to admit that if anyone should know about dumb luck, it would be Robyn...
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) February 3, 2013
On the Meri homefront, we see that she's already testing out that wet bar/pastry counter space in her luxurious McMansion. Well, I think it's Meri's McMansion. At least it looks like Meri's furniture, but there's that weird photograph of Robyn's wedding on the mantle.
If you look closely, you can see 2 empty bottles of the green koolaid hanging out on top of the massive fireplace mantle, too. So who's McMansion is this?
To prove just how wrong those nasty rumors are that the teens don't like to party at her house, Meri hosted a Sadie (Hawkins maybe?) party at her McManse and tweeted about it.
Sadies date night at my house tonight. 8 kids hanging out, a surprisingly quiet group!
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) February 2, 2013
Well, actually not too surprising since those kids most likely saw what happened to poor Drake. I would be scared into being quiet, too. I bet there was not one spill on her perfect furniture and standard carpeting, either.
Christine tweeted a picture of her Super Bowl desserts...
Love your expensive serving china, just like mine!
And Janelle burned the granola she was making (lets hope it was a low calorie recipe)
I just munched on celery sticks and olives...So that's all for now, everyone. And remember, I scour the internet so you don't have to!
They are arrogant and flaunting their newly-acquired wealth to millions of viewers. When will these 5 welfare queens be investigated for fraud?
ReplyDeleteThey truly live like "poor" people. They just do not realize it. Nobody with wealth makes the kind of thoughtless decisions they make. The homes they bought are unaffordable. They should have bought homes they could afford without a penny from TLC. I am torn between wanting to educate them & watching them as though they are a social experiment in poor financial decisions made by people that come into a windfall.
DeleteYou would think with some of the money they have earned they might pay someone to teach them how to pose in photos. Trying to look like a bunch of college students is not working, and Kody please close your mouth nothing of much sense comes out of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. They look ridiculous. They're about twenty years too old to pose like that. It makes them appear desperate to be cool and like they can be themselves.
DeleteBy the way, I've noticed in the book and on their show that Christine & Meri appear compete over who has the "hang out" house. Its sooo stupid!!
Seriously, who would want to hang out at Meri's house? I'd be worried about ruining all of her "nice things.". Christine seems more laid-back and fun.
DeleteI agree Jennifer, team Christine!!
DeleteI'm not sure which is worse...the awkward group photo or Meri's description of it: "hanging with my Sister Wives peeps throwing deuces". Sure thing Meri- glad you and the peeps had fun at the deuce throwing wetbar party! Rock on...
ReplyDeleteThat isn't Meri's description it is Janelle's trainer. Meri added at the end "PARTY"
DeleteGood- I really thought she had lost her mind with the caption. The picture posing was awkward enough!
DeleteI thought "throwing a deuce" was why you weren't supposed to stand too close to the monkey cage.
DeleteSadies date night sponsored by Meri? LOL... that means the girls ask the guys right? I wonder if there were Darger boys gracing their presence and eating Meris goodies off the wet bar on paper plates? Quiet? Meri? Where are s my prescription medications for my adhd? Crud! Looks like you poured them out on a plate as after dinner mints again. Hey kids, anyone here want to run laps around my Four back yards, I have four wives you know, one more then Papa D!
ReplyDeleteI love Robyn's deuces! She can't even do that right. What up with her thumb? And then you've got Kody and Meri making the same face. :| Gawd, really, it's like they share a brain!
ReplyDeleteBlisteredsister love your name and perfect call on kody and meri. Lol. Just heard one more thing that sisterwives could learn from mama June of honey boo boo. June has lost 100 lbs. Since starting her show. Sisterwives look like they have found it.
Delete"Well, actually not too surprising since those kids most likely saw what happened to poor Drake" priceless!!! Thanks for a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Laughed. Very witty!

ReplyDelete"Living well is the best revenge." - George Herbert. :-D.
1:59 AM - 06 Feb 13 "
Yes, indeed....Here is a blinding example of Kodyworld arrogance and entitlement mentality. Rather hard to undo such a crass statement with excuses!!
A question for Robyn....Exactly who is your "Revenge" directed at...??
Your ex-husband?
The adoring fans?
Anyone who hasn't been a sport and bought any of your over-priced, under-value Closet junk?
Anyone who hasn't signed up to drink and sell the Green Goo?
All the taxpayers who have literally "paid" your and your "sisters" debts...and likely will have to again?
Anyone who finds the lifestyle repugnant of one non-working man having a willing harem, and then producing scores of children whose mothers cannot feed them and therefore must lie and cheat on forms to get others money to feed their children?
Exactly where is your revenge directed?? Inquiring minds want to know..!!
OH SNAP. So true!
DeleteBut "living well?" By purchasing houses you most certainly cannot afford and waiting for the shoe to drop, forcing you and your kids and your surfer-dude boyfriend to look for residency elsewhere?! If that's "living well," I'm doing it wrong.
Thank you, Amused!
DeleteWho said "Pride goes before the fall" Man's worse sin. And woman's.
DeleteExactly. Except they're not "living well." Robyn thinks she is because she's not in a trailer. Which is funny because give it time and she will be right back where she started. She is incapable of growth.
DeletePreach it Amused!! :)
DeleteI just wish Robin would check her tweets for grammar. Poor girl. She really has no clue.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she will after reading this blog! Their 'lifespeedfitnes' friend, Sean Huddleston, is just as bad. The poor guy has no concept of proper punctuation, especially commas and periods, and use of the space bar must give him brain farts. Dude, at the very least...spell your own Twitter username correctly! Fitness, not fitnes.
DeleteOkay,
ReplyDeleteRobyn, it is further when you are using distance in a metaphoric unit and farther when you want to refer to real distance...guess granny is talking to you again.
Maybe she's tweeting this to someone who she calls 'Dumb Luck', and he's trying to get far, far away from her...?
DeleteThen she's just missing a comma. Or a coma. Either way...
Freakin' LOL on the everlasting paper plates aka Brown China.
ReplyDeleteI just love Christine's insistence on taking and publishing pictures of her creative culinary masterpieces.:)
Deletesorry, looks like Cake Wrecks. or something a high schooler might possibly be proud of. Christine is not a cook by any means nor fussy about her end product if she's proudly showing those on twitter.
DeleteI agree with Anon 12:17. While Chris may be an okay cook taste-wise (in her family's opinion), her presentation definitely leaves something to be desired. If you are going to proudly post food on Twitter, please make it look good. Use good lighting, a good camera, good dishes ... Otherwise it's not going to look very appealing sometimes. While these probably tasted ok, they do not look worthy of being posted for all the world to see ... at all.
DeleteI thought they looked like deformed Hostess Cupcakes...
DeleteI imagine Christine got the idea to make these from a cooking blog like this lady's. However, she must have taken one too many shortcuts and hers are a massive fail compared to this lady's finished product. You can tell they were actually footballs and the half and half team colors inside was a cute idea. I've also seen these made into cake pops.
Deletehttp://www.carlasconfections.com/2012/02/my-football-cake-balls.html
Sigh, I really like Janelle. I can't figure out why she continues to hang out with these losers.
ReplyDeleteI think Janelle thrives on going against the norm, and she is seriously stubborn. She is the only one of the bunch that was not raised in this lifestyle, but chose it. She's a bit eccentric, it seems to me. As a young adult, she got really into studying the lifestyle/history of Native Americans, started dressing the part and even decided she'd live in a teepee for a year. She set up a teepee on Kody's dad's property, and she lasted all of one night, as it was freezing cold outside. This is all according to Janelle, in the book. This was before she married Kody, but they knew each other. Kody referred to it as her "cowboys and Indians phase." haha. How deep.
DeleteActually Kody wasn't raised in the lifestyle either. His parents "converted" while he was on LDS mission if memory serves?
DeleteAlso, I think her children and Christine's are close.
DeletePlus her Mom is married to Kody's Dad. I think she feels stuck so she tries to make the best of it.
DeleteIts a classic case of a woman having more children than she afford to support. If she had no children, she would walk. But, wait. There's another tether keeping here there and miserable. Their religion teaches that Kody will be a God & HE calls her to heaven. She's not going anywhere.
DeleteAnyone else notice how the trainer is holding on to Janelle. Hmm just sayin
DeleteAfter reading her part of the book, I also think Janelle is truly in love with Kody. (No accounting for taste.) I think she's deluded herself into thinking that there is something special between them. For his part, Kody has each of the women compartmentalized Janelle is the business-savy one, Christine is the fun-loving one & polygamy royalty, Meri keeps the organized, quiet home. Robyn's the new hot piece. ooops... I didn't say that. Yes I did.
DeleteWithout knowing the characters, one might think (from the "deuces" photo) that they have decided that same-sex multiple marriage is now acceptable, or else they're adding one more really unattractive woman to the mix.
ReplyDeleteGood one AZChristian. You are so right. Could this be a new plot device to keep the showing interesting? ...lol...
DeleteAND . . . the trainer seems to have the same hairline as Kody. And yet it doesn't seem that his manhood is threatened, requiring him to hide his receding hairline. Maybe he has more important things in life to think about than his hair (or lack thereof).
DeleteWhat is up with Robyn's fingers in that photo? Maybe it is the camera angle but they just look strange...
DeleteI thought the same, Maggie Dean. Looks like she finger challenged.
DeleteShe has Ann Coulter hands!
DeleteWho is Ann Coulter?
DeleteThe better to doodle with......!!!
DeleteShe has the phantom fingers...the ones in the joolery line. -prometheamoth
DeleteAnn Coulter is a very, very conservative commentator and author. She frequently appears on FOX news and political shows, and sometimes on other shows. She writes books that are very, very offensive to liberals and/or Democrats.
DeleteSounds like my kind of gal. My husband would know her then because he lives on FOX news!
DeleteRobyns fingers looks like she's tryna flip us off in a sly creepy way...Lol
DeleteThat looks like Meri's modern couch she didn't buy, remember? But that mantel photo of the creepy plyg family photo is giving me the willies.
ReplyDeletePoor Robin. She probably isn't allowed to announce anything after TLC, which means she's supposed to say nothing or wait and see or something.
But Janelle's face looks especially thin(ner) in the deuces photo. Yay for her!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it look like two baby bottles on the mantle? Filled with a clear liquid.
ReplyDeleteTurtleGirl I thought the same thing about Janelle's face looking thinner!
ReplyDeleteRobyn is not throwing a deuce, she is modeling her ring
ReplyDeleteRobyn has some long fingers there. Who cares she is doing it right or wrong as it is not like they are cool or anything any. way. Janelle looks thinner and yes they all look happy. I hope they are enjoying the culdesac as it makes it easier for all the kids to see each other. I think the show should be different too with the familie(s) all close again. One family would live in one house though I think the culdesac is the next best thing. If I was a plural I would want to live in my own home as you need a little peace and quiet every now and then by yourself. OK, how long will it take for the nearly 20 Brown kids to have the street filled with Brown Caous?
ReplyDeleteAll of them look happy!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if TLC will still be filming when they lose the homes. There's no way they make enough $$ from the show to support 5 adults, 500 children, and 4 mcmansions. No possible way.
DeleteMy guess is yes because TLC loves to capture drama. Oh and I would be one viewer who would watch it. I wish them all the best but the math just doesn't add up.
DeleteI wanted to use the name Cuplyg but it won't let me enter the name. I think they are probably happier now they have money. Who knows maybe they will actually get jobs after the show comes to an end or return to Utah. I read that one of the Darger sons is going on an LDS mission. Perhaps their boys will also go.
ReplyDeleteThe Darger boy is going on a mission for the mainstream Mormon church which he joined over a year ago, much to Papa Joe's disappointment. None of the polygamy groups serve missions.
DeleteIs this one of the "adopted" boys or one of the birth boys? Either way, I'm glad to see him getting away.
DeleteDarger son Caleb reportedly joined the mainstream LDS church, so I assume it is he who has gone on a mission. He is the natural son of Vicki and Joe Darger, and also has a band.
DeleteAll the best to them in their new homes. Has anyone heard anything from Logan since he left for school?
ReplyDeleteHunter tweeted "Off to State" ...Kudos to Hunter BTW but Boooooo to his dimwit dad, for his tweet response to Hunter...smh
ReplyDeleteKody tweet:"@Brownboss99:Off to State! "I'm so proud that I am now emotional about it. I've been there & done that & you are better than I was"
WTF?? Seriously Kody?? Can U not give any of ur kids compliments w/o them being self serving & always trying to crash their moment?? Ughhhh!! How about calling ur son or better yet, walk ur ass over to Janelle's house to wish him well in person.
Oh, when Meri tweeted the other night about the Aprons flying off the shelves..
Well, U know that numbnuts couldn't resist tweeting a response.
Kody tweet response to Meri: "Excellent! Who's idea was that anyway?"
Poor guy, has trouble suppressing his inner drunken seeking fame/attention whore...LOL
It's sad when the kids act/are better and more responsible than the grownups
DeleteOMG, KODY is SUCH a moron!!! Why would he reply to Meri's tweet with "who's idea was that?" What a bozo. Kind of along the lines of "I picked the dress!!" Pretty sure it was Robyn's idea, since someone here said she had a picture or pics of aprons on her pinterest. And if it was Robyn's idea, you can bet she has already let Kody know.
DeleteCaramel Brownie,
DeleteSo true !! He just HAS to insert himself (pun intended) in every event or achievement..even those of his children.
His constant need for "Me Too" is pathetic.
Which school is Hunter referring to? Is it the duel enrollment program?
DeleteKody is actually competing with his son in that comment. VERY telling as to their unhealthy family dynamics.
Delete"Been there done that" is a condescending remark. Kody is MORE of a douche than I thought possible. Wow.
well, there's no evidence that Kody ever got past high school. I'm guessing "State" is an athletics program or championship thing, especially since Hunter plays football and I think he wrestles too?
Deleteand the fact that Kody more than likely BARELY graduated from high school... ""Who's" idea was that anyway" instead of "whose" just BUGS.
Deleteand incidentally it doesn't surprise me that the cheap shitty apron idea eminated from him. just quickly whip up a stupid ass design based on their equally stupid ass logo, send to a graphics print shop online and within a week they have cheap crap to sell. I'm surprised they didn't do matching water bottles.
...I'm not surprised they didn't do water bottles. Water bottles would have made sense, as they would go so well with the green slime. Leave it to them to be oblivious to obvious tie ins!
DeleteCaramel Brownie - so glad you're back! I've missed your posts, and was worried you were "lost" in Utah. Did you get any pictures for your Sister Wives Blog Sister Wives???
DeleteHope you had a great time visiting yur husbands family!!
Hi Sinister Drives
DeleteLol, didn't get "lost" in Utah & it was beautiful!! Yep, I got some pics of there house in Lehi & their church. Although my husband was concerned about driving down that long windy very narrow road(no easy place for a quick turnaround if needed..lol)to the AUB church which was kinda creepy....LOL After U exit off the main highway to the AUB church road, there's a construction/lumber company at the very front entrance, then a lil ways down is like a Veterans memorial site, then before U get to the church there's a lil road that leads to an Equestrian Lessons stable. All around the church land, there were compound looking houses set up. It was actually kinda creepy driving to it. Honestly if we didn't have GPS, we would've never found it. Thanks to the SWB admins, they were able to give me the AUB address to put in the GPS :) IMO, Basically w/o GPS,U would have to know exactly where it is to be able to get to the church, otherwise U would have no clue whats down there. Also, there was No church sign out front, but parking lot was full of cars.
We got back earlier this week & I just haven't had a chance to upload them.Plus I kinda wanted to add a lil "story telling" to my pics about my visit to Lehi. Just tryna get my thoughts in order. So I may repeat some of this in my post..lol
I didn't see any of the Browns tho...
But there's definitely people living in their Lehi house, b/cuz there were 3 vehicles parked in the driveway & there were lots of footprints tracked in the snow of their front yard. So definitely lots of traffic. I'll send in the photos to SWB admin soon so they can post them. :)
Yikes! Whole place sounds really creepy!! You are very brave, and your husband is a really 'good sport' to have supported you in your adventure into that unknown world! Thanks to both of you from SWB readers!
DeleteI'm really glad you'll post a little story with your pics - will be looking forward to hearing and seeing! I'm sure you're glad to be home.
My guess is that Hunter was off to State for a wrestling tournament.
DeleteThat's really cool that you were able to take a road trip and see in person some of the places we discuss here so often. Lends a different perspective to it all, I'm sure.
DeleteLooking forward to reading more about your experience, and seeing some pics, too!
Thanks to the admins for allowing guest contributors to add even more depth to this site, and to our discussions!
Ok. Has Christine and Janelle done anything with their real estate licenses? I was hoping to see at least two of them working traditional real paying jobs.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of sounded like Mona the real estate lady, had both of them working in her office, doing administrative stuff. But my guess is that was a ploy to help them qualify for the loans. Isn't the real estate market in Vegas pretty dead these days, or is it picking up? Also, I think they both passed exams, but did they get their liceses? Guess we'll find out!
DeleteThey are so delusional, they won't really use those licenses to work stable jobs. Didn't Christine say something like she was so excited because with her license she was going to be able to help pay bills?
DeleteJust the way Robyn pays bills with her sales. Seriously, how much can they make a month on sales, 2-4 thousand dollars? only enough to pay the bills of one family.
Whatever they happen to make with their real state "jobs" or with their sales will go faster than it came. It would be extra cash for their nails and extra fatty food. Nothing to really help their horrible financial future.
"But my guess is that was a ploy to help them qualify for the loans."
DeleteNo doubt about that !!
It also provided ol' Mona with an extra five minutes of fame.
Okay, I'm 54 years old, my kids are grown and I must be out of touch. Someone please tell me, what the heck is "deuces" and what does it mean?
ReplyDeleteI'm in your generation and I don't have any idea...I googled it and this explanation from Essence.com appears to be the best...
Delete"From big Usher to little Usher Raymond V — how adorable is that boy! — everyone is throwing up "deuces" these days when posing for a picture. Whether you mean it as a sign of love from one friend to another, or you're a celeb trying to signal the paps to scram, the peace sign has evolved into something completely new and fun"
http://www.essence.com/2011/03/15/celebrities-making-a-deuces-sign/
I'm thinking the Browns (and their new found friend Trainer Sean) think they are being "with it". Or maybe they are trying to look "ghetto" (to coin Mariah's favorite word). Who knows with these people....
my teenage daughter explained it to me as it's an "I'm out of here - see ya" kind of thing as well
DeleteNote that it is kind of a "peace" sign and represents the farewell, "Peace out." At least that is how my guide to a different generation explained it to me.
DeletePutting up "deuces" means "peace out" as Kodak Brownie mentioned above. It was already a thing, but it became much more popular a few years ago when Chris Brown released a song called "Deuces" about getting out of a bad relationship, saying he was done and ready to throw up the deuces. Kody and the Kodependents look like such clowns, but you just know they think they are doing something super cool and hip. Tragic. Their poor kids are surely dying from embarrassment like I did as a teen when my dad would say Karate Kid quotes in front of my friends a decade after the movie came out. I'm not really young or really old (34), but to me they remind me of the old Dave Coulier gag from the old Nickelodeon show "Out of Control" where he would say "Cut...it...out!" and make scissors with his fingers.
DeleteOmg now I'm thinking of the film "Napoleon Dynamite" where his geeky brother Kip does the Peace Out thing trying to be cool. That's the way Kody is...
DeleteBut is Kody cool enough to time travel or have LaFawnDa?
DeleteAha, so I can put a name in with the computer but not with an ipad. I think in time for Valentine's Day we should open Kody'sKloset and fill it with wonderful things for him to sell:
ReplyDeleteCuplygs Cupids & Cupigs
Blistered Sister's Salve
Peanut Butter Fritos
Turtle Girl Turtles
Caramel Brownies
apples n onions
Orange Meri Wine
Ko Lobsters
Boston Corgis
Sista Knives
and my favorite Magic Undies.
I'm sure there are many more that I am missing so feel free to add your product to the sales department.
Maybe Kody could offer a personal shopping service. "Let me pick your dress!!"
DeleteI hope you will be Brown Bagging your products to save on postage.
DeleteThat's so funny! Kody's Kloset should sell only stuffed animal Boston Korgis though... Meri would be too tempted to take any real ones on a one way trip to Utah.
DeleteGood Idea: Mare: Umpa Loompa shade self tanner. Christine: 3/4 sleeve basic t's one size only: Too small. Kody kurvey kootie kouch. The ultimate Lazy Boy Robyn: Chin Implants for that Darwin on Bewitched look that never goes out of style. Janelle: New hair color. Yellow is the new blonde!
DeleteDon't forget the old Mare's pastries that can only be placed on a Wet Bar! :D
DeleteKody's Kloset? Sounds like a good idea, but there won't be much room for inventory until Kody comes out of it!!! Until then, we would just have to wait for the items on back order and not complain about it because Robyn has a toddler hanging on her leg.
DeleteCuddle-sac carry all for all your rotating needs.
DeleteRunning shoes, 4-pairs in a box.
DeleteTiny purple backpacks, for the man-child in your life!
Bye bye flat ass! Use Kody's Spray-On Butt Sweat and add definition to your jeans.
DeleteOld Yeller, don't forget the Sister Wives cologne they could sell... Butt Sweat and Tears!!!
DeleteLet's add a purple fanny pack to match the tiny purple backpack. I can see it now in Kody's Kloset Line of must haves for middle aged men with long hair, everywhere! Maybe a purple paisly shirt to complete the ensemble.
DeleteKody's kloset.
DeleteSkeletons, I tell you. Skeletons!
Thanks Anonymous 11:00 PM. I can see it now, Kody and the Kodettes hawking Butt Sweat and Tears!! LOL!!
DeleteBuy one piece of MOCK jewelry and get a cup of MOCK tapioca free.
DeleteKody Koolaid, Kody Kotex, Kody Condoms, Kody Hair Care, Kody Cologne, Kody Ketsup, Kody Kindles, Kody Kitty litter, Kody Hot Cocoa, Kody Ken dolls, Kody Kimonos, Kody Kosher hotdogs......etc.
DeleteLOL...very funny Culplyg...also everyone else had some fun ideas too :)
DeleteI would like to add Surprise or Delights at the end of Caramel Brownie tho...just in case he wanted to bake something extra special in them to get them all feeling good & in the mood & lovey dovey like on one of the wives birthday or anniversary.
Or if he's tryna seduce a 5th+ Wife & create some sort of "buzz" between them...haha
I would like to add to the list of items....Kody Kosher Pickles & Kody blow up dolls, & penis shaped lollipops w/ his head attached...Lmao I know, super GROSS!!!...Lmao
DeleteSelf help tapes to morph yourself into the all powerful She-Rah!
Deletemaybe he could raffle off a night in the "Kody Kasbah"
DeleteMake sure those Kody Condoms are the aerated kind so as not to block those spirit children!
DeleteMOCK turtles if Christine is helping! Or mock turtlenecks!
DeleteLove it, CU! Thanks for including me. ;)
Robyn's whole She-Rah thing cracks me up.I wonder if she and the Grodster engage in some roleplaying--I'm sure he'd like to think he has He-Man's flowing locks. (and yes, I know He-Man and She-Rah were twins. I guess that part could be ignored)
They could be ignoring it, or play-pretending they were even better plygs than they really are...
DeleteYeah, I really didnt understand that whole segment of the book, but when I was brave enough to start participating here, I totally snagged the nickname!
DeleteNot very original of me, but it fits with the theme!
They could sell one of those books from the guy with the ? ??'s all over on how to get free stuff but instead of government pamphlets & scholarship information it will contain things like: how to get free food by committing welfare/food stamp fraud, how to get a bunch of free stuff by running up a credit card then filing bankruptcy, how to get free medical insurance by pretending to be a single mother to 6 kids while living with your husband in the same house as his other wives & children (repeat these steps as many times as needed per # of wives), how to get a free husband & a lifetime of "chaos" by pitching a teepee on his father's lawn and MANY more great tips on how to bleed the beast included!!
DeleteIMHO, the Real Estate market is one of the toughest to break into.
ReplyDeleteIf one makes a sale a month, it would be fortunate. The earned commission is generally about 3%. Most agencies have a large sales staff so
it can be cut-throat competition. Like most businesses, the public gravitate
to the attractive associates who know their market.
Maybe the aprons are enjoying huge sales due to Father's Day coming up in
several months? Can't remember when I last wore an apron! Maybe thirty years?
Sounds like they're having fun!
Father's Day? Aprons with butterflies on them??
DeleteI think it's more like - SW Fans who can't afford the other stuff and the ornament was sold out, so $20.00 on an overpriced apron is cheap for a 'relic' of their favorite family. Bleagh.
Ditto on the Bleagh !!!
DeleteI;m a father and I would not want to be caught wearing that piece of cloth
ReplyDeleteReal estate agents work very hard. They have to be very organized, professional, self-motivated and willing to put a ton of work in, with NO promise of any kind of reward. The satisfaction is never immediate.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, its a terrible idea for any of these lazy grifters. They're just not capable.
You are SO right DRS...even here in the SF Bay Area, the realtors I know work VERY hard...nights and weekends...and constantly trying to find new properties to sell...it's a lot of work and far from a 9 to 5 job...imagine working all week drumming up business then spending Saturdays and Sundays running open houses...it's no picnic!!
DeleteTo the SWB posters in snowy NYC and New England,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all tonight and tomorrow....Stay Safe !!
Yes, stay safe and doodle some jooolery designs for us!
DeleteThanks Amused! The snow is whipping around like Kody's hair in a strong breeze...
DeleteYes, I hope everyone in those areas hit hardest by Nemo is safe & warm :)
DeleteSadie's date night at Meri's house:
ReplyDeleteMariah and Apsyn have their four best girlfriends over plus that one guy buddy all girls have, over to hang out and watch movies or whatever it is kids do these days.. Meri is the only one who thinks it's a date! :)
One guy and six girls? I would say that counts as a date in Plygville. That one guy buddy has 1.5 times as many dates than Kodouche has wives (as he is so fond of telling everyone, he has FOUR wives!!). That makes the guy buddy 1.5 times the man that Kodouche is. Or roughly, half a man at best.
DeleteSadie Hawkins does take a new meaning in the light of polygamy. How many girls could a guy have on a date at one time? This would ruin so many great sitcom episode where the guy has mistakenly over book and has two girls.
DeleteHa! Yet another way Sisterwives has ruined TV!
DeleteWith six girls and one guy that only equals seven. Who was the eighth person...the skeleton in the closet?
DeleteWell ooooobviously Kody was there too! ; P
DeleteI googled George Herbert. Some very interesting quotes!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does the pic of the "deuces" just seem childish? they seem like perpetual teenagers to me. That may be since they are so controlled as teenagers, not allowed to get out in the world, and marry early.
ReplyDeleteMS,
DeleteNo, it's not just you.
It would have made more sense for the teenagers (or even all the kids) to do the group deuces shot. That would have been cute.
But then Kodouche would have had to sit that one out...and we know he can't ever do that.
Yeah, I get your point that they are trying to look 'hip and cool', like when Kody uses his back pack.
DeleteI was watching the Colbert report and a man he was interviewing about religion said "its not people being held against their will its their will keeping them there." So much truth to that statement!
ReplyDeleteI saw that, too. It was the author Lawrence Wright, talking about his book on scientology. They have a "re-education" place where many of their Execs are being held, some of them have been there for years. Even the wife of scientology's leader David Miscavige has been missing for several years. The FBI was going to raid this place and free everyone, and according to the author, they were told by former scientologists not to bother, because the people held there are so brain-washed, they will say they are fine, and won't want to leave. But many people who've left scientology, describe it as "escaping." So I'm sure there might be some in there that would like to be rescued. It speaks to the mind control, what he said about the "will" on the Colbert show.
DeleteVERY SCARY!
DeleteDoes anyone remember the EST phase? In the 70's? That scared me too. It seemed similar to scientology.
DeleteThey look like they are throwing up "scissors."
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that I am not really looking forward to the new season starting and watching them flaunt their new homes and act as if "with hard work" you really can get what you want.
ReplyDeleteI will probably skip watching the show, but will come on here to see what y'all have to say.
Robyn's tweet was the cherry on top for me...simply disturbing!
True, I hope we don't get a glossed over version of things, that would be a waste of time. This family tries to only show us their best side, but the producers definitely gave us some great footage, we'll always have: the wet bar, the French doors and the carpet sample dilemma, Kody's receding hairline and where is Robin and the Baby?! And hopefully Christine will continue to throw in her zingers!
DeleteI love Christine's zingers!
DeleteI'm not sure I'm looking forward to the new season either, but I'll hazard a guess and say they're not going to act like they've arrived with all their hard "work." I'm fairly confident that they'll continue to play the victim and worry and moan about their financial state. Playing up the fact that it's about as stable as a stack of cards gets a lot of sympathy and helps sell the "joolery"- and that stuff is so hideous it's not going to move any other way.
DeleteI was reading today that as the Mormons made their way to the New Zion, or Utah, they had an exhausting journey. They forbade the use of coffee or tea as stimulants,but they found an herb roadside during their travels and brewed it like tea. They actually called it "Mormon Tea". It happened that the herb they found was very stimulating...it was ephedra, similar in properties to amphetamines.
ReplyDeletefrom Wikipedia:
Delete"In response to accumulating evidence of adverse effects and deaths related to ephedra, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the sale of ephedra-containing supplements on April 12, 2004...Metabolife, makers of the best-selling brand of ephedra supplement, had received over 14,000 complaints of adverse events associated with its product...Co-founder of Metabolife, Michael Ellis, was sentenced to six months in Federal prison for his failure to report adverse effects from his company's products to the FDA...."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedra
Ephedra/ma Huang *was* banned for a short time, but it's now available again. Has been for awhile.
DeleteI have low-grade asthma and I find that occasional ephedra works as well or sometimes better than my "puffer" when I'm having breathing issues.
I was just impressed that Janelle actually got to be next to Kody for a change!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that Christine and Janelle had a good rest and are comming back with "guns a blazing".
ReplyDeleteOK. I've finished reading all the June 2011 posts and have a few questions/comments..
ReplyDeleteIt was mentioned that there is a Jessop Lumber company in Nevada, and some fundamentalist group owns a lot of businesses in that State. Could that be how the Browns got funding for their McMansions. Could a Fundy builder have both built and financed them?? (I forget; is it AUB or FLDS that owns the businesses?)
How do we know they have interest only loans? Was that mentioned on the show?
Did SWB ever find out whether it was really Mariah who made some SWB comments? Why do people now think she is mean, and/or a miniature Meri? Back in June 2011 cemmenters thought she was nice.
Also, SWB has a vote on "favorite SW" back then, and Meri won! Would love to see how current readers rate the wives now, a year and a half later.
Many, many links and lots of valuable information was posted in June 2011 (as continues now!) I found a link to What Mormons Think of Women to be particularly interesting to me. Thanks, once again, to those who developed and work so hard on this blog!!
I have just reread "Becoming Sister Wives". I do not care for Meri at all. And Robyn drives me nuts. However I did note on the rereading that each wife makes note of the fact that they use Robyn when communicating with Dody. They each state that she is a great mediator. Also that she can get each of their feelings "Validated". (heard that word a lot this season)So perhaps Meri was using Robyn to mediate her argument with Dody regarding the Partybar. I am sure Meri had ulterior motives and also that Dody feels ganged up on when the wives band together. But I think this was interesting. Also Meri stated that when she was in charge of the finances she divided the bills amongst the wives in proportion to how much income they each brought in. Therefore Janelle got the most bills on her plate. Meri was "working" part time and helping raise the kids (But Meri and Kodouche still got an allowance for spending) Now Meri states that all of the money should be divided equally and each wife should get the same regardless of how many kids or how much work is applied. This seems very self serving. Especially as Robyn came into the marraige with debt and no housing and is just getting a free ride. Janelle needs to clip some wings!!!!!!! One more entry of note by Meri. She states that as Mariah is going to be leaving the nest soon she (Meri) has 3 "goals" she can meet.
ReplyDelete1. Have a baby by Robyn. (Not gonna happen)
2. Finish her college degree and work with emotionally endangered youth. (Or something to that effect of working with kids)
3. TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS AND GO PLACES SHE HAS NEVER BEEN. AS A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone want to place bets on what she will be doing. The WETBAR will be abandoned as quickly as her FAITH in polygamy.
Hmmmm, when the show goes away, and they are back to being piss-poor. Let's see, she'll stick around for maybe a few years, bitching and moaning and making life as miserable as possible for Kody's latest wife. Then I think she does #3 on her list. She hits the road. Stays married, so she can get on that planet with Kody one day, but she is off to see the world, or the wizard, or she and Mariah will go work at Disneyland Paris or something.
DeleteTo be a missionary, Meri would need to convert to LDS and basically renounce polygamy. AUB doesn't do missions.
DeleteI was bored, so I did the math. If the Browns paid $450K per home, that's 1.8 million. If they put 40% down, the net balance is $720K. Their monthly payments would be just under $6K. Their required income for traditional financing would be $3,444 per month, per person. If they can't earn that much and their history, education and job experience has shown none of them can, then they will be stuck with high risk financing and in that case, they'll never pay off the homes. So there are two options. They'll either not pay off the homes or not pay off the homes, LOL. Its going to be a HUGE fight when the women have to figure out who loses their home first, LOL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is why they have switched to equal-division-of-money budgeting...I think at least Janelle, if not Christine also, wants very badly to hold on to her house and will refuse to give up her home, paid for with her "own" share of the money.
DeleteIs anyone watching the Jodi Arias trial in Phoenix. She has a lot to say about the Mormons.
ReplyDeleteShe has a lot to say about the Mormons.
DeleteJodi Arias is a confessed murderer of a man she was obsessed with who happened to be Mormon. She will say ANYTHING to avoid getting the electric chair. I'm not saying the man she murdered was a saint, just that no human being deserved to be slaughtered for being a jerk.
What she is saying in court has nothing to do with Mormons, it has everything to do with how she is trying to manipulate the jury into believing SHE was the victim and that she killed a nude man taking a shower by stabbing him 29 times and slitting his throat in "self-defense".
Oh yeah, she also shot him point blank in the forehead.
WOW that is SOME kind of crazy.
DeleteYes, I am following too. I agree with you on almost all. Jodi is a murderer and stalker and she deserves to pay but............ The secrecy and perfection needed to look a certain way to keep perfect standards without grace can cause all kinds of problems. In any religion!
ReplyDeleteI am following it too.
ReplyDeleteCJ is right...
The defense team is attempting to paint her as a naive, lovesick "follower" who was led and controlled by a zealot.
Shooting someone in the face at point blank range is heinous and "final" enough, but to then stab him that many times is hard to explain away.
But...unbelievably, Casey Anthony was acquitted.
I've been watching some of the coverage on HLN and noticed they were really focusing in on his Mormonism late last week---or lack of adherence to the principles, if I heard correctly. I could not figure out what that had to do with anything--a lot of people don't practice what they preach, so to speak.
DeleteI almost feel sorry for the Mormon church as a whole---they get dragged through the mud whenever polygamy comes up, and now this.
Oooh, speaking of HLN. I'm not a Nancy Grace fan for the most part but I'd love to see her as the next interviewer for a Sister Wives special. She'd make mincemeat out of them.
and now for something completely different, Krody was seen at a wendys according to there fb page, the poster put a pic of him there, guess he told her that he was on is way back to Utah (again) for the first time
ReplyDeleteNo matter where he goes, the man whores his fame to get a free ride. No doubt he ate at Wendy's for free.
ReplyDeleteThe caption should have read hanging with some bros & some ho's (slang don't know how to spell it) throwing deuces.
ReplyDeleteRobyn's remark about living well is the best revenge is so insensitive. I agree with the poster who said who is she getting revenge against? Her ex? I am not sure if she even knows what it is that she is saying or the subtext of that message. But, I'm sure that those she is exacting revenge upon are the ones who will get the last laugh. None of the Brown Clowns have the sense god gave a goose. They live for to day and have made no effort to secure a future for their children or themselves outside of their mcmansions. I will see this pipe dream flushed down the drain and finally the clowns will be seen for who they really are, grifters without any sense of tomorrow. I suspect that once they start losing the houses, one-by-one, they will end up with Meri and Kody in the queen bee's cuddlesac of crap house. Until then, Robyn brag if you must but remember that she who sings loudly often sings out of tune and she who sings out of tune is missing the tune for a reason...dimwit that you are.
ReplyDeleteSeen at Wendy's? LOL. I HIGHLY doubt they gave him a free meal unless he had a coupon. Did he get the nachos??? ;-)
ReplyDeletealso "first time back to Utah" (this week)
I watched season 1 and 2 this weekend. I noticed Kody had different watches on at different times. I had noticed Robyn wearing some of them when the Vegas episodes started. The video clip of un aired footage of Kody giving Christine a watch that Robyn carried in her luggage now makes since. Remember the couch session where Kody discusses with Christine, and Meri and Jenelles faces were angry and priceless? I believe Christine was jealous of Robyn wearing Kodys watches, just one of her many grievances of Robyn, so Robyn and Kody got Christine a watch, Meri and Janelle thought it was indulging jealousy, remember the rough edges are suppose to be rubbed off like jealousy? Thats my take on it.
ReplyDeleteHello SW Fans, does anyone know what is wrong with TWOP ? Next to SWB, TWOP is my favorite source of snark. As of about a few days ago, I can't get to TWOP for any of my favorite shows, like SW, Honey Boo Boo, Parenthood, etc. My desktop and my phone both say the site has been found to be questionable/possibly dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAny info to help a sister ?
Thanks !
Apparently there is/was an issue with TWOP. For more information, please check their Facebook page. Here's the url:

Sorry for the kind of long post I'm about to write, but I need to vent. I FINALLY finished their book yesterday, and it was slow going. I'm a voracious reader and usually finish a book that short in a day. It took me a month to read their book. That's a month of my life that I'll never get back. The bad part is that I got so annoyed reading Robyn's chapters (I kept hearing her voice and seeing her blink forced tears) that I skipped all of hers except the last one that was about her and it still took a doggone month to read that drivel. I don't like any of them now and I used to kind of like Janelle and Christine, but reading the rationalization and justification for the low self esteem, insecurities, and the flat out crazy just turned me off to them. They wrote this book to show the world how functional and great their family was. They failed in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteIn the latter part of the book it talks about Mykelti getting upset about the way Robyn was talked about on a website and posting a defense of her. Was that done here or does anyone know where it happened? It hurts my feelings for the kids to read what other people really think about their parents. I don't think the adults took that into consideration when deciding to do this show or if they did they minimized the damage it could do. Another reason for me not to suffer these fools gladly. I'll still watch, but only cause I like the kids and love reading SWB. The adults are just twits.
I thought Christine said it was Aspyn who defended Robyn on a website. There was only one website that was pro Robyn and that was the friend run facebook fanpages. This was before the MSWC one.
DeleteAnon 3:35, I'm going to concede you're right. I'm not going to go back through that wreck to check. :)
DeleteI don't think Brown clowns are going to lose homes. I think different groups of fundamentalists are funding the Browns. We know they don't make enough money or have credit for those mortgages. the only answer is more money was put down. I think they get paid for getting show and each time they get further in the legal system. By the time it gets decriminalized the browns will be paid off & have all the money they need. If they don't win they will still get paid not as much for bringing it out into open & putting good face on polygamy. All the different groups go to every hearing. Yes I think we are being played I don't think the show in their bonanza, the case is.
ReplyDeletesorry..it was the episode that they traveled to Boston to participate in a forum with students on religion. Christine was "blue" and Kody gave her the watch to cheer her up. During the couch interview for that episode Meri and Janele had angry stone faces. It never aired but is available online to view.
ReplyDelete5th wife, your probably right, for the life of me I cannot see one lender giving them the money for the homes, unless they stole someones idenity , not with there horrible way of handling money, Probably was mentioned here before but Kody apparently worked for a sign company, Mormon owned, not that its wrong, but why would he quit that job unless the TLC bright lights made him go gaga
ReplyDeleteWhen the wives were waiting for the pre-approval for their loans I got the impression from the comments Mona made and the way she phrased them, that at least a couple of them were very possibly going through different companies/banks for their financing.
DeleteI really think that as far as Kody's job at YESCO - he might have been asked to leave, not just because of the show, but because he was not exactly Mr. Hard Worker and of course he allowed that to be aired on the show - remember when he came home early (in S1 or S2) to ward off a crisis and he wasn't needed so he just decided to stay home the rest of the day? yup I bet his employers were thrilled to see THAT.
DeleteAlso, he did state in the lawsuit that after the show aired, he lost at least one of his big accounts - they asked to be switched to a different account rep. Kody made it sound like it was the evil State of Utah or Lehi PD who was at fault, when really it was HIS OWN DAMN FAULT for doing the show to begin with - the reprecussions. Hey, if *I* had Kody for an AE and saw the way he behaved on TV (not even considering the polygamy factor - I think he makes a bigger deal of it than it actually is considered - because he likes to think of himself as a rebel) I'd ask to be switched to someone with a better work ethic too - someone who would be available when needed, which is what an account rep is supposed to do.
Hi, Long time reader here, first time posting :) Watched SW from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteIts such a contrast to what they are doing now, and how they are living, from the first couple shows.
I don't believe much of whats going on, I don't care for them, but I do watch them. The house thing though does get me going. I remember buying our house (btw I'm 54, husbands 65) and the all the paperwork, credit checks, down payment, closing,points etc! and they are approved, boom! without real jobs?
Anyway, if you all haven't seen this, I found they were making $75000 Per Adult, Per Episode. I don't have my calculator handy, but that adds up to where they could afford those mcmansions I guess! Especially if they would be smart (but they are not) and put SOME away.
I found this through cha cha answers about their money:
http://www.chacha.com/question/what-does-tlc-pay-sister-wives-per-episode
Love the blog! :)
If they're making that much per adult we'll see more wives coming on board!
DeleteChacha has been discussed here before - its absolutely not creditable.
Delete5th wife - I think you are really OVERESTIMATING how much money these fundamentalist groups really have at their disposal. The LDS of course has scads of money, they own tons of real estate etc. I know on "Big Love" Roman (the prophet) apparently had a lot of investments and what have you - but that's a fictionalized TV show. I really, really doubt the AUB has a lot of money at its disposal.
ReplyDeleteA few posts ago, one theory that was floated around was that the builder Pinnacle might have assisted with financing - enough so that the Browns are shown as the legal owners of the homes. I don't recall the exact details - I'd have to look it up again - but to me it made total sense. Really - think about it - what financial gain would be made to have polygamy legally 'decriminalized'? The AUB and other groups want polygamy to be limited just to them, not made available to everyone. I believe the answer is simple, the Browns are not getting that much money, the AUB does not have as much money/assets as people seem to believe. As far as them putting a "good face on polygamy" - I beg to differ. They're in it for the fast cash, pure and simple.
If memory serves, Pinnacle (the builders) paid WAY too much for the land that the homes were ultimately built on. Past comments indicated that the builder almost defaulted on the loan they had on the land...they HAD to build on it, but who is going to buy four crappy houses? There is some shifty tax stuff going on here, that's for sure. I think that the builders will end up repossessing the homes from the Browns as soon as they are unable to pay for them. The builders/lienholders are in the catbird seat right now and the Browns are in debt up to their eyebrows...but the truth will out, and the reason we keep watching this is because we want to see what happens at the end of this trainwreck.
Your assessment is right about the amount of money AUB has at its disposal. After the Virginia Hill missing millions scandal, AUB had to ask its membership to fork out the money to pay the whopping fines. Some people gave up their pension money, and others took out loans. Really sad that sometimes quite poor people had to pay for the mistakes of crooks in AUB.
DeleteAs for the source of the Brown's money, I don't buy into conspiracy theories - I think that what TLC pays, their MLM, their book royalties, money for special appearances, and the "joo-le-ry" would give them enough to at least get into the houses.
I think that what TLC pays, their MLM, their book royalties, money for special appearances, and the "joo-le-ry" would give them enough to at least get into the houses.
DeleteI agree. I think they got into the homes with large down payments, some creative financing, and possibly a couple different lenders, but that they got into them on their own. And when their TLC bubble bursts, they're going to find themselves - on their own, on the street, unable to afford the high costs of their McMansions.
I agree with DJ on this.
ReplyDeleteObviously these houses were not built on spec.
When a builder is sitting on unsold lots, is on the hook with the banks for having bought the lots and is already in debt to the engineers and architects and site development contractors, the builder needs to dump those houses, at least on paper, anyway he can.
Which makes it all the more disgusting that these adults chose to sink their temporary TLC windfall into inflated, mediocre McMansions instead of banking/investing the brunt of it for future bennies for their kids.
They can tweet all their silly ass pics from their new digs and send googled quotes to justify their greed and stupidity, but it won't change who and what they are.
They could have lived *less large* and actually had a portfolio for the future for their family.
Instead they are the modern day version of Jed Clampett and family in their McMansions and cee-ment ponds.
Robin's smug quote of "Living Well is the Best Revenge" apparently is now the Kodyworld mantra.
Maybe that will even be the next apron design??!!
Too bad they don't realize that *living smart* is a better revenge.
But that epiphany will never happen this self-serving crew.
Wel we will have to see what happens. I think u will be surprised, when we find out who is supporting this family. The fundamentalist all the different sects have truckloads of money. They all have a stake in the law suit. There is a lot more to this then we know.
DeleteOne thing we know is the browns
Can't pay them four mortgages on what TLC is paying them. The money comes from someplace. We know they haven't been saving their TLC money onless they have stock in disney.
Every season they do less episodes. Someone is financing the Brown clowns
Amused - I don't even think they have room for a pool, based on the plan of the lots.
DeleteIt was apparent to me, anyway, that the houses are of inferior design, cheap materials (at least based on the granite and other choices offered that aired on the show) and overpriced (i mean come on now - financing the washer/dryer on a 30 year note??), when they could have purchased pre existing homes of better quality for substantially less. It really shows a complete lack of taste and aesthetics - I wouldn't use either Christine or Janelle as my realtor(s) based on that.
DJ - no room for any pool for sure. I've driven by and seen the layout of the cul-de-sac, as well as just looking at the other houses in the neighborhood. The Brown houses look to be horrendously overpriced. Two of the houses back up (less than 10 feet to the wall from the looks of it) to a busy highway with two lanes of traffic in each direction. There are beautiful homes in the area . . . just not these four.
DeleteI don't know anything about the fundamentalist sects, but I've been a church-going Christian for over 50 years. I've never been to a denominational church where money was in abundance. Even if a local church is not struggling, they are expected to send a portion of their income to support the bigwigs. Given the history of the Mormon sects, I would assume they are required to send at least 10% to their head honchos. Add in that many of these families' only source of income is the money they get from "bleeding the beast" (welfare), so they didn't have a lot to begin with, and they have to give a chunk to the church.
I don't think Kody and his Kodypendents have an abundance of money. They are banking on a future as "stars," much like Kate Gosselin (whose time seems mercifully to be over). I do think Kate was smart enough to save SOME of her money, but I don't see any evidence that the Browns know the meaning of delayed gratification. JMO.
5th wife - did you read what was previously stated by Anon 8:29 above?? The AUB is not rolling in dough, they have anywhere from 7500-10k members in the congregation. I assume most of those members are living paycheck to paycheck - not well off.
DeleteSee what has already been said - and documented - that the AUB asked its members to pay off fines and folks cashed out their pensions, life savings etc to do so.
Sure they are supposed to be tithing 10% - but I doubt the sect is throwing them out if families can't afford to fully tithe. 7500 members, you would expect that includes women and children who don't earn a living. Tithing can only be done by members of the congregation who have an income.
Also from what I've read, the plyg sects that DO have money are the evil ones such as the Warren Jeffs sect. The ones that force the women and children to work menial jobs such as harvesting pecans etc.
The Browns have made it CRYSTAL clear that they, and their church, have NOTHING to do with such sects.
Nope - I believe there is creative financing going on between the Browns and Pinnacle (the builders)
Why else would they pay SO much more than the norm in the Vegas area for substandard homes next to a busy thoroughfare, with no room for a significant yard - all those kids need somewhere to play?
It works out well for all involved - the Browns get a paper saying they "own" their homes and Robyn can rub it in our faces (woooo yup). Pinnacle gets themselves out from under a crisis situation involving a probable default. And WHEN the Browns default - Pinnacle gets to keep the homes to resell or do whatever, although I doubt they'll be able to ask $440k for each one.
And again an important point to ponder...WHY WHY WHY are the Browns keeping the Lehi home along with its mortgage payments - if not to have a Safe Home to retreat to once the show is done???
Amused I just remembered this past season where at one point Meri or Kody (I think?) asked the builders if Meri's home could be built with a wet bar but not the extra bedroom...and the builders quickly said NO because they would have to pay more $$ in permits etc.
DeleteThis tells me something - that the builders were already overextended on these homes before a foundation had even been poured. Which might be one reason they wanted so much for the homes, much more than they were worth.
I do believe that they have worked quite a bit with Mona the RE lady in the past, so she was part of the set up too. The Browns were the willing suckers...they know - at least Kody does - that they can't keep these homes but for appearances sake they made a deal with the devil...all so Kody can say they "own" their "dream homes" (yuk!)
I really have no idea how they got the homes but I doubt the builders are involved. I do foreclosures for a living. They have recorded mortgages. That will be the first lien priority. Even if they owed some money to the builders they cannot foreclose out the interest of a first lien so if the builders tried to foreclose they would still have to satisfy that debt to the mortgage company to get back full interest in the property. Have there been any type of loan documents recorded for the builders? If not, any other lien that may be files in the meantime would also take priority over any monies they might be owed.
DeleteThe have not got a clue what they are doing.kody is a real puck his car can only ride two and he want more kids. Those kids are nothing but for how much they can get at end of the year. They probably live on that income tax and tlc check what a loving family. Glad there not my mom or dad
ReplyDelete"It really shows a complete lack of taste and aesthetics - I wouldn't use either Christine or Janelle as my realtor(s) based on that."
ReplyDeleteGreat point...!!!
But not to worry, obviously, they don't have their RE licenses...if they did, they would be waving those all over FB and Twitter.
So if they are *or really ever even started?* working for Mona...the real estate agent to the LV stars...doubtful they are doing nothing other than answering phones and stapling brochures.
