Sister Wives…the beginning of the end

[Jalapeñomel]

This deserves its own post, since this is the end of their relationships with Kody (save for Sobyn).

I’m here for them ripping open Kody.

[Patsy Baloney]

I don’t have access to a streamer that has Sister Wives - I think I saw it’s on Max now? So maybe we’ll spring for it for a while since there’s some other stuff we’ve been wanting to watch on there.

Anyway, I feel like I’m mostly caught up via my Facebook videos algorithm and I truly can’t wait for the blow-out where Janelle says, “Fuck you,” to Kody. He has treated his first 3 wives and their children like absolute shit. He deserves to be insulted, mocked, and left in the dust. Bye, dickhead!

Me too! I’m here for the rising up of Janelle and Christine!

You can watch on Max, TLC, or Discovery+!

Gwendolyn Brown (one of Christine's kids) has a youtube channel where she posted reactions to all of the season 17, and that's how I watched last season. Hopefully she'll do season 18 too. I just went to check, and it looks like she's been going back to very early episodes and doing reactions to those. Her perspective on how things are portrayed versus how she remembered them is interesting.

lol we had Shark Tank on in the background yesterday and I guess it was on TLC because every commercial set had a preview of this and Janelle saying "fuck you" to Kody. To the point where even H was like "Who are these people? What's their deal?" so I was trying to explain it and also explain how I know what's going on even though I haven't watched the show in forever lol

Watching Kody at her wedding made me laugh!

[thebreakfastclub]

I did not get to see last night's episode but after sticking with it thru all the boring seasons, this is my time!

[Patsy Baloney]

I will say, what I’ve seen in snippets here and there, it bothers me a lot to hear Kody say he was never attracted to Janelle and Christine, they never had a happy marriage, etc.

Just all the horrible things that a bitter man child would say when a spouse has finally had enough of his bullshit.

[seeyalater52]

My fav part is revisiting some of the truly heinous and insane names they gave these poor children. Mykelti? Jesus take the wheel.

Ok not really bc my favorite part is everyone leaving Kody and him looking like the asshole he always has been. But still.

[livinitup]

I watched early on, was fascinated, and then fell off/on after their “escape” to Utah. Last year, I circled-back just in time for the new surge if intrigue and interest.

Kody could be the poster boy for men who cry “why did my marriage suddenly fall apart??” Dude, there is nothing sudden about your wife leaving you, she’s been telling you for yeeeers.

I can’t quite articulate what’s going on, even though I see it in all 3 of his relationships. Patriarchy only “works” when the women participate. Kody seems all kinds of unhinged that these wives simply don’t want to participate anymore and have all kinds of options to not.

Is this what happens when you have 32 kids or whatever? You just start consulting the Nayvee, Taylee, Laykynn name board meme for inspiration?

[seeyalater52]

This prompted me to watch season 17 finally and it’s only the first 5 mins of the first episode with Kody complaining that he isn’t seen as the head of the household and that was “the deal” they all had and good lord this is truly delusional.

It doesn’t seem there’s much time between the two seasons,so all this melting down on his part is excellent tv.

[Patsy Baloney]

I really can’t wait to see him boil in a big ol pot of role reversal. What’s it like to be totally dismissed, sweetie pie?

[gottadobe]

I haven't watched in years, but this news may have forced me to go watch.

If you don’t watch this season, it’ll all be for naught.

[gummy]

I am living for this season. Kody is the biggest douchebag of all time.

I read recently that Meri & Robyn fell out. Something over Leon & Gwendolyn's wedding. Any truth to that? I'm realizing just now that I forgot to dig into that more 🤣

I’ve made it through years and years of episodes. This is my reward!

[morecoffeeplease]

I’ve been watching since the beginning. I’ve quit almost all housewives shows but cannot quit sister wives.

I know I’ll never understand but it blows my mind kody can watch all this and still not take accountability. How do you go to a wedding of a cousin during Covid and not your own daughters spinal surgery.

Mckelty is my least favorite child. I do follow Leon on IG.

I would love to hear more about a fall out between Meri and Robyn.

[sparkythelawyer]

I've only seen it through Tiktok.

Oh Kody is such a manchild. Straight thinking with his weenis, did not realize what he had in Christine and Janelle and is now all shocked and awed that they're all "Uh, bye."

Dumbass.

[Nonny]

I haven't watched in years, but Janelle has always been my favorite out of the wives, so I'm definitely going to need to watch her rip about Kody. He's such a slimeball, so it's kind of nice to get to watch his world crumble around him while the women go off to live their best lives without his bullshit.

Has the episode with Janelle telling him to fuck off already aired? Because I have Max...

[Patsy Baloney]

Just more random thoughts from me:

Do you ever look at Kody and think, “That’s the guy. That’s the guy 4 women want to share. That’s him. That guy,” in the most incredulous internal monologue you can muster?

This is even funnier with one of his kids actually being named Truly (Truely?) 😂😂

Not yet just the first episode aired.

All the time. Any time I see him. So is Meri still hanging in there?

No, she finally got the hint (except not a hint, he flat out told her he was done with her).

Oh EXCELLENT. So it's just Janelle and Robin and it sounds like Janelle is on her way out.

It’s definitely just Sobbin’ Robyn. Janelle has been out for a while now. I think the show airing is just really far behind.

If we knew nothing about this family, and wanted to make a “based on a true story” movie, it wouldn’t be an un-interesting perspective to make Robin the protagonist:

“In a world of polygamy, watch the story of marriage, divorce, and re-marriage. Watch as a first wife is cast out and branded with divorce. Only to re-marry into a new family as a fourth wife. Not satisfied as a fourth wife, watch Robin slowly climb up the ranks of wife-dom to be seated as first wife again. Leaving a trail of broken spiritual marriages in her wake, when in the end, all three sister wives divorce.”

[spindle92]

My younger sister lived up the road from them when they moved to Vegas.
She always saw the first 3 wives out and about in town and said they were always very friendly and just "normal". Robyn was NEVER without Kody and he was very controlling of her every move and word.
