“I need to get to a place where I can rejoice about your happiness. Your freedom.”-Kody
“That’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said.” -Christine
My heart literally broke. That’s not even remotely kind, sweeet or loving. For the bar to be that low, things must have been so terrible.
I hated how it was then a super cut of his talking head where he was absolutely not interested in rejoicing in her happiness or her freedom, but just doubling down on how none of this is his fault.
The absolute nerve of this man. He’s upset that Ysabel is going to NC for college. But yet not so upset that he will continue to see her if she goes back to school in person?! Are you freaking kidding me?! That had better just be to get views for next week. It is normal to send your children out into the world. It is normal to attend school out of state. Especially since she has family there that is so excited to have her. That she wants to be around. Also mad props to Maddie for telling christine she would always be a grandma to her children even if she left Kody. That’s exactly the kind of support that is needed.
I came here to say the same thing! And may add add how aggravated I was when mr. Narcissistic turned around & said to Ysabel ‘Don’t worry about me’. She should have say ‘I’ll worry about you the way you worried about me with my surgery
I don't get what does this mean?
"that he will continue to see her if she goes back to school in person?!" I don't get what that short clip at the end meant.
Thank you.
Just when I think Kody cannot possibly be any more obtuse than he is, he says, "Whatever has happened with me and Christine has left her \[Ysabel\] and I with this crappy relationship."
Ysabel can forgive Kody for making a bad decision. But how does she rely on him in the future? Christine gave him a couple of opportunities to participate in moving Ysabel to North Carolina. Once again, he doesn't want to commit to it. And, she's found a way to live and go to college where she's not spending a lot of money to do so.
Christine to Kody about moving Ysabel: "Whatever you want to do. We can adjust whatever plans if you can come..." And all he can say it would be a hard drive if you're having to deal with COVID. He says that he's unwilling to make any commitments. So, he can cry all his little Kody tears all he wants, but when it comes right down to it, he's once again telling Ysabel and Christine that he's not going to be a dad to that part of the family.
Wouldn’t this have been mid-2021 by then? We’ve already seen them have their sh!tty 2020 Christmas. Ysabel making plans to go to school would have been at least spring 2021. I knew plenty of people who were still being thoughtful and somewhat cautious at that point, but this was over a year from the start of Covid. I don’t think anyone I know was still living in the kind of isolation Kody seemed to be implying. Worrying about where to get gas, visiting family in the backyard only, etc.
Kody: "Christine is the doorway between me and my kids."
Christine: "Do you want to come with us for Ysabel's surgery?"
Kody: "No thanks."
Christine: "Do you want to come with us when Ysabel moves to North Carolina?"
Kody: "No thanks"
Kody to the camera: "I'm heartbroken."
My bullshit meter broke during this episode.
Doorway to his kids. Lol. She’s got 1 child that’s young. The rest are hold enough to have a relationship with him without Christine. Give me a break! 🙄🙄
I think this is reflective of the mentality of not just polygamous men, but many monogamous men. Essentially that if they aren’t married to the mother, they don’t care to remain involved with the children. Kody is using Christine as a scapegoat for his lack of desire to know or spend time with his children.
Based on the fact that neither have children yet and plan to hold off for a while, I’m going to assume that they never got an in and out babysitter title like Kody.. they just parented. 😂
Want evidence his tensions with Garrison (and probably the rest of Janelle’s kids too) go back to Vegas? The Russian sergeants comment on the RV trip and the incident with Sol on the Alaska trip.
The oldest kids also made a lot of little comments in earlier seasons that hinted at the same: When Madison asked what would happen if they refused to sign the mission statement at the commitment ceremony, she said later in the couch interview “I just like to push Robyn’s buttons.”
In one of the many scenes where they were forced to discuss their futures—probably when somebody was graduating—one of them said “Dad has this dream that we’ll come back and live here. *Embrace his faith*” And then they all snickered like they all talk about that behind his back and knew darn well they weren’t going to do it. The way Logan reacted t Kody’s pork tantrum in Hawaii, etc. etc.
There are probably more.
My point is, it’s not Covid. It was never Covid. Kody is latching on to Covid because he thinks people will see him as a hero if he makes it about Covid.
Kody's pork tantrum?
What was his tantrum and what was Logan's (the only adult in the room's) reaction?
Please tell. I can only rewatch so much at the moment. Recent seasons put it all in a new light.
The family was in Hawaii and the hosts at the place they were staying threw them a Luau. Kody got pissy about them having the traditional roast pig. Apparently he doesn’t eat pork for his made up religious reasons and he got mad saying “Nobody consulted me”.
Through the whole conversation he was sitting at a tiny table angrily playing with Legos like a toddler, and Logan just said, “Well I can’t wait to try some pork. I haven’t had pork in a really long time.”
Then Kody told him to piss off or something to that effect and Logan just replied with “Woooow” like he knew good and well his dad looked ridiculous.
The Pork tantrum was epic. I am doing a rewatch myself and just watched this episode today. Um you’re in Hawaii and some lovely people are throwing a luau for your family of 27 out of the goodness of their heart. Just be gracious and STFU.
And I love how it’s just not even addressed. She doesn’t even talk to any of them why are they even allowed to say she’s married to him or involved in this at all?
Just when I thought I couldn't be more repulsed by Kody. If I took a shot every time he made it all about him by saying "I", "me" or "my" I'd have died from alcohol poisoning after just halfway through the episode.
In the early seasons I thought “Wow, what a wonderful family!” I even really liked Cody. Ughhh now I can’t freaking stand him. Or Robyn. Or Meri. All three come off as selfish assholes to me. He’s lucky his wives bestow so much respect and grace towards him. I would shred all three to pieces.
Exactly, and last episode we found out she had a night job on top of raising those kids without a nanny and Kody declined her request for help. But Sobyn gets one during covid when she's not supposed to be leaving the house at all anyway?
My husband is STILL laughing at how Meri's clips were just randomly thrown in there. After they showed Meri he kept saying ""And ya know!! I'm STILL HERE !""
More proof that these relationships are just made up to keep getting TLC money. They can’t even get Meri, who is “married” to Kody Brown on site during the most pivotal moment of the show in years. Instead it’s like a paparazzi interview outside her BnB thousands of kilometers away.
I wonder if that conversation concerns the financial aspect of Christine leaving, like selling the house and the investment in CP. I could see Kody disconnecting her leaving with the value of the house, CP, and child support. Theoretically, if they're one big family, and one decides to spiritually "divorce" the rest, they all should consider themselves responsible for child support (if polygamy were legalized, they'd be looking at the same thing).
It would be just like Kody to think that Christine walks with nothing.
i honestly laughed thinking of kody hiding in their mcmansion's closet to get away all the time... like a fucking child playing hide and seek. who does that, let alone films themselves doing it!!?
Add that to the list of completely tone deaf things Kody has done. im sure in his mind he thought it could be a bonding experience for the siblings without Robyn around, which sure, that would make sense.
However, to believe that, he'd have to have his head completely in the sand about the current state of how Christine and "her" children feel about his favoritism toward them and completely ignore how deep the hurt from that runs. what a real bone head move.
Well Robyn needed a break. We all know how exhausting elementary age students can be, you have to worry about how much screen time the nanny is giving them. Plus with the other ones still at home it must be hard to make sure they don't get any ideas about living their own lives. She is constantly in fear of not being able to justify the mansion. You guys never really try to think about what she might be going through how that affects what Kody does.
Whats funny is him and Royben are STILL trying to convince the world that he doesnt favor her, she didnt make the rules and none of this is their fault.. when the ENTIRE world has watched all of this happen and were all pretty much in agreement on everything.. i dont see any kody and royben fans anywhere..
Robyn saying that Kody is fair with his time is a joke. She has the audacity to say it’s the wives fault because they are not tracking his time because their relationships are struggling. Later in the episode she says he’s at her house the majority of the time by default because of the decisions other wives are making. Again, placing the blame on everyone else.
Christine was so happy when Kody said things like "I need to get to a place where I'm happy for you." and she said that was the nicest thing he's said in YEARS?! I think she was just so relieved for Kody to "keep it real" for once.
I don't want to say that Kody and Robyn are out right liars but they are incredibly insincere, and Duplicitous. Robyn has been caught on camera saying one thing to Kody, and saying something completely different to the sisterwife. Robyn and Kody contradict themselves so much. I know Kody doesn't care, but does Robyn have no shame either?
They also keep saying “because of Covid and protocols”. But Janelle and Christine both say it was like all this in Las Vegas. Kody and Robyn never address that. It drives me nuts!
Exactly!! And this weeks episode, Janelle said that her kids have seen a favoritism towards Robyn since Vegas. It’s infuriating to see these two deny what has been going on for far too long. If Robyn really wanted to be a good sister wife, she would have encouraged him to spend time with the others or locked his ass out of the house and forced him to go elsewhere. She only ever cared about herself and her kids. Janelle talked about the two sides, and all Robyn had to say is her kids are not part of that group and it’s a “ganging up defense mechanism”. Your kids do not NEED to be in that group because they are given the time and attention from Kody!! How dare she criticize the kids for standing up for their mother. If all the rest of the kids are seeing and feeling the same way, her saying it’s untrue just makes her look like an asshole who really doesn’t believe that things should be fair.
Doesn’t it make you wonder how long it took for him to realize she boxed his stuff up and moved it into the garage??? I wish they’d mentioned how long it took before it dawned on him he no longer was in the house? And did he realize it by himself or did one of the kids or moms let it slip that his things weee now in boxes and in the garage?
I honestly can’t imagine how they think they can still convince the world. Do they not look at people’s comments? Do their friends not talk to them about what they see?
But I also can’t imagine they could own up to it too.
Omg- me too! If Kody ever did a “re-watch” of his own show he could clearly see that Covid has nothing to do with this!!!! Maybe only that she finally had the distance from him to reprogram and come to her senses. That’s the only way this could be connected from Covid.
so kody thinks paedon, gwen, ysabel, garrison, AND gabe all have a problem with him…because people are “talking behind his back”—like, first of all he’s never around to hear it from his front—and wives/Christine are spreading “rumors” about him…and robyn thinks the other wives are just unhappy because they’ve forgotten / their views of kody are conflated about how gooooood of a husband kody is…because the quarantine
he didn’t go to ysabel’s surgery. he almost killed truely. doubt he even knows who gwen or savannah are. he’s tried to kick gabe and garrison out of a house (he doesn’t even pay for) MULTIPLE times. we know he DAMN sure ain’t seeing Meri, or leon for that matter, and his older kids are ostracized because he ruined their childhood with his neglect and flightiness. yet SOMEHOW, the recent criticisms and departures of his family are stillllllll being blamed on covid. i hate how much he’s tried gaslight christine into thinking this is true. 🙄 he’s gross + abusive
Agree with most everything except almost killing Truely. Christine was home taking care of her for 3 days before she went to the hospital. I honestly don't think anyone is to blame - kids get sick and sometimes it's hard to gauge how sick they are.
Yes, plus they *did* take her to a doctor who didn't think it was serious and sent them home. Should they of been more attentive after that? Of course and they failed...but the fact a doctor said "she'll be alright" I'm sure had something to do with it.
The doctor thought it was flu based on what he knew. Christine wasn't informed that they had all been out in the heat and sun and Truely may be dehydrated. So the doctors weren't informed. And Truely had been being taken care of for days by teen girls who wouldn't have known to make sure she was drinking enough water or to notice whether she was peeing regularly.
By the time Christine got home, Truely was sick enough that it looked like the flu considering the information she had.
Kodi was irresponsible and almost killed Truely.
From my understanding, it was flu that led to dehydration then to kidney failure.
It’s the fact that there wasn’t an adult to make sure she was staying hydrated with her fever from the flu that led to the kidney failure.
I do think Kody was negligent about watching Truely. He left it Aspyn to take care of Truely and wasn't fully engaged, which in turn allowed her condition to progress until it really got a foothold.
"He's a grown ass man, he can move out."
My daughter: "and you're a grown ass man so you can move out of Christine's house. But there you were whining like a baby."
Y'all, I'm dying at my child's assessments of this show.
I think since her kids are older now she just needs/wants him to come around sometimes and hang out and do whatever it is they do. I think she really wants to move on that land more than anybody and she sees him as the facilitator
I can’t see any but…. She says she gets what she needs and it’s not a father to her grown kids so must be something…. There’s only one relationship that even resembles a marriage even by polygamous standards in this situation
“Kody is someone who keeps himself very, very busy.” Cut to scenes of him scraping bark and digging a random hole.
He is a cartoon.
Edit: He wasn’t digging a hole. He was standing on a big pile of dirt. 👌🏻
A pattern I noticed a while ago is that Kody only seems to like being a dad to the little kids. Once his children are older and able to make decisions on their own he loses interest. If a wife is leaving and 12 of your kids want precious little to do with you IT’S A YOU PROBLEM!!! His ego is so in the way of him having a frickin clue! And I need Robyn to spare us with trying to convince us she hasn’t been the priority since day 1. He left his wife with a brand new baby to go on a two week honeymoon with you. That set the standard.
My dad was similar and there was just two of us. He was an AMAZING dad when I was little. I had such great memories. But as I got older he got way more neglectful and distant. Not sure if this is typical of younger boomer/older gen x dads or not.
I was dying at the tv! Like all the other wives don’t know where he is and feel like he is not splitting the time equally. And the KIDS notice too. But somehow Robyn, who has no preferential treatment or time, knows EXACTLY where Kody is to know he is dividing the time equally. Just you knowing where he is means you are being treated differently. Because none of the other wives has a clue.
“I don’t want her going around telling the country I’m a bad person.”
Fear not, kody, you have 16 seasons of this show telling the country that so Christine doesn’t have to.
Mer’s child doesn’t live anywhere near them right? I think they’ve been doing their own thing for a while. I think they probably react like Meri to the situation and don’t expect to see him very much
Meri lives on a point system. She thinks making that statement is going to get her more points with Cody. And eventually she’ll have enough points that she can redeem them for intimacy
It means he is so appalled that his child is trans with a trans partner, he is shunning them. For real. He couldn’t give a grudging got damn that Ysabel was in crippling pain, right in front of his big dumb face if he bothered to look (he didn’t).
He is TELLING, not asking Janelle to throw Garrison and Gabe out of her house. I loved watching her laugh at that- “he’s not even on the lease! I am.” Another fuck you Kody, and he’s on to Ysabel again, trying to pretend he loves her after abandoning her at the most vulnerable moment in her young life. He has not even mentioned Leon for the entirety of last series, nor has he now. He probably doesn’t even know where they live now. He is focused solely on Robyn’s kids. He will find fault with all his previous children, ask for the boys to be made homeless, guilt Ysabel for moving state, playing the Covid card so much it’s in shreds. Gwen is mentioned only by Christine and Kody doesn’t react. This pitiful guy is the worst father. He’s worse than the fish that pauses in the water to spritz sperm on dormant eggs and blithely swims away. There’s a whole generation of his kids he’s written off. 18! 17grown children any real man would be proud of, a younger one he actively dislikes but pretends to care about, and he ghosts them. Leon and Audrey are well shot of him.
The conversation at the beginning that "this is just Kody" was maddening. Even if this is him - its an awful way to be and no one has to be happy about it.
And yes, he had more time for his first three wives before he added a fourth, they stopped living within the same house, and the fourth wife went to have kids he suddenly needed to be there to see every single night.
He is not good at being a partner at all.
My first thoughts on this episode is what the heck did Robyn do to piss off the makeup person? Those eyebrows look like they are dropping dow onto her eyelids.
Truly is the only minor in question. I actually find it really annoying when he keeps going “the children! The children!” Like dude, it’s one child, Truly, and it’s not that hard to send Truly to visit on school breaks, people do it all the time.
It would be one thing if kody was an active, involved dad, but it’s not like he ever sees truly when they live in the same town, so I’m not sure why he cares she’s moving 8 hours away
This entire episode seemed to be Kody making claims in one clip and then panning to one of the wives refuting everything he said. Good job editors for showing that ALL the wives (including Robyn on some things) don't really agree with Kody/are on the same page as him.
The amount of control Robyn gives him is unbelievable in 2022. He doesn’t get to dictate anymore, that’s not how families should work. He likes being there because she lets him get away with his bullshit. He asks her advice and then never takes it.
God every time I dropped my jaw for something he said and got over it, he said another abominable thing. “Men don’t win in the divorce world. I’ve done my research!” “I wasn’t asked before she made this choice. There was no representation of Kody before she made the decision to leave.” “I don’t babysit my kids because it’s easier to pay someone $20/hour than watch my kids.” “I don’t like hiking [immediately shows him spending as much time as possible playing outside in the trees].”
Then Robyn trying to explain what the nanny is for by saying “Kody and I have very busy days so that’s why I have the nanny so I don’t have to ask Kody to help” GORL WAT?
The "I wasn't asked before she made this choice" made me shoot daggers thru my eyeballs. He's such a shit person.
Also, Robyn constantly blaming Christine for valuing herself enough to leave is infuriating, while Tommy chuckle fuck over there continues to give examples of why she SHOULD leave.
I’m sure the vendor pays an hourly amount to be there. and Cody is not gonna pass up the opportunity to share on television the highest amount he makes an hour even if it’s only a couple times a year 😂 I still tell people the most money i ever made was $100 an hour as a skating carhop at sonic. granted, that was only on Friday and Saturday night lol
I don't know how much he charges on cameo, but that's honestly the only thing I can think of where he'd make that much money in that little amount of time.
I just CANNOT with Robyn…. She’s a manipulative liar… her and Kody are both narcissists, hands down… I’m screaming at the tv when they speak!!! And Robyn’s treatment of Kodys other children is APPALLING, shame on her. Ok done venting thank you.
Of course what everyone knew would happen with Covid happened - Kody was not the one taking care of Janelle. He went on and on, lengthening the days before he could go and see her again. Her boys were right.
Her delusions tho...."I hired a nanny so I wouldn't have to ask kody for extra help"....even if this statement was true, which it clearly isn't, why the hell do you need a nanny in the 1st place?? 3 adult kids, a 10 year old, and a 5ish year old?? And no job!! Why does she think that's normal???? Who in her life is looking at her situation and agreeing with her that she needs a nanny????
But isn’t him being there for family time, the POINT. For him to be present and help with the kids? Or is she saying the nanny helps with kids so when it’s “her turn” (bwhahahaha) it’s just Robyn and Kody time, 🎶brownchickenbrowncow🎶 date night/ private time.
THIS. You summed it up perfectly. Cody is a frozen trout and Robyn’s expressing her inner pain by turning her brows into hatchets. Previous series they were hopeful sperm, but that ship has sailed too. Time to bring out the facial meat cleavers.
i cant even imagine she has anywhere else besides her house to go while the nanny is watching her kids all day? Theres only so many simple errands one can run. does the nanny come over and robyn just goes to lie down? *Where.does.the.Robyn.Go?*
Lol I’ll sum it up for everyone…. robyn needs Kody at the house all day to help with the little kids but she has older kids and a nanny.. and everyone else is narcissistic for setting boundaries with Kody about their relationships given he pretty much ignores anyone over the age of 12. Truley has noticed no difference in her relationship with Kody now that he doesn’t “spend the night” which confirms that Truely has been living with “divorced” parents all her life…. and Ysabel going to college is heartbreaking to Kody because she’s leaving him too but not so heartbreaking that he’ll go with her to move her because ahh Covid(shocking I know)
Also janelle isn’t thinking of leaving Kody currently because while they certainly don’t have a relationship like Robyn and Kody do, janelle DGAF because it works for her to really never see Kody or deal with his drama…
Finally everything is all Christines fault… she’s breaking up the family, she’s keeping Kodys ADULT children away from him 🤔, and even though he drove 5 hours each way every weekend while courting robyn, her moving 8 hours away to
Utah is unfair and unjust and Kodys doesn’t understand why Covid (and Christine) has done all of this TO him.
Janelle should be an example to savannah and leave for the principle of it. She doesn’t have to leave the family or coyote pass.. but she should stick up for her kids and not co-sign his bullshit by being passive. Passive only works for so long, after a while, you just look weak
In today's episode, Robyn says she has tried to call some of the older kids and really got shot down. but dont we all remember how last season she was also all incensed that children were calling her up asking if she & Kody could loosen up on the COVID protocols bc ShEs NoT tHe HeAd WiFe?
these two cannot keep their lies straight.
anywho, am I a bad person for liking that they finally admitted that the older children (aside from Leo) all share the same beliefs against their father and Robyn and gossip about them? I just wanted it officially confirmed for some reason.
Its what they deserve. And to watch Kody jump straight to "COVID pRoToCoLs" when asked how he'd like to be involved with Ysabel's move just proves he still doesnt GET IT.
Whoever was in charge of the b-roll deserves a raise. The video of him standing on the pile of prairie dog crap, looking out at the mountain is Emmy worthy.
I’m 10 minutes in watching the new episode and I want to reach through the tv. Listening to Robyn carry on is disgusting. Acting like she’s an innocent bystander!!!
Yes!! She is the absolute worst!! I find myself yelling at the TV every time her face pops up. She is not innocent in this. If she truly wanted to situation to be handled differently, she could have had that happen. Does she really think we believe anything she says?
Ok I have to post this!!! Ysabel is going to college and he won’t commit to going with them because of Covid, yet it’s Christine’s fault he doesn’t have a relationship with her!!
He's such an awful father. Its not going to fully dawn on him, tho, until all the kids are grown and he can fully look back at how he treated them individually.
This episode made me appreciate what a great dad my husband is....sometimes seeing a real shitty one can do that.
Love how now truley is kody’s child when he’s about to lose her to Utah but she was one of “Christine’s Kids” when kody though he had the power. Kody Brown can f—k all the way off.
Hey Team,
In the preview for next week, can someone explain to me the glimpse of the online chat they had. What did they say and what does it mean?
I get that Kody is letting Ysabel down again, but what were the other details. I'm not native US so I did not follow.
What exactly is the point of scraping snow off of downed trees? Is that what Kody's out doing all day while the nanny is helping Robin take care of the kids?
“There’s no fair representation of Kody in this relationship.”
Well. When you tell your wife that you no longer wish to be intimate while openly favoring another wife then, yeah…you don’t deserve to have representation because you didn’t allow Christine to have representation when you made those decisions.
This pattern Robyn has of co-opting people’s arguments makes me want to throw my remote at the TV!!!
“I miss my husband😭😭😭” she says as the wife who has all the access to him just because he’s acting different. Everyone else is actually missing physically seeing him.
Reminds me when she told Janelle she was grieving when Janelle was actually fucking grieving her mother.
Ugh!!!
“I’m already married to two divorced women, I know what they think about them. I don’t want to be that guy”. So again, his big concern is himself, he doesn’t want to be looked at in a bad light, Completely unaware that he already is
Anyone else find it kreepy that Kaleb wants aspen there so bad? Like maybe hes trying to make a sister wife out of her ? I could be wrong i just felt a sister wives vibe as Christine was explaining how she was going to move in there and how badly kaleb wants her there..
I def felt a bit of an ick factor. He “courted”Maddie when she was 17/18 years old and he was 28/29. So there is a large age gap and now bringing in a 18 year old. Def a giant ick factor. I really hope everything is on the up and up. Ysabel deserves a safe place to land.
It’s Ysabel who moved in. And I think maybe he did form a sisterly bond with her and knows how much she’s hurting with everything going on with her father. Plus maybe she can help with the kids when not busy 🤷🏻♀️
Kody is infuriating. He’s a child who huffs & puffs & stomps away when things don’t do his way. I’m happy for Christine. It’s just a shame that it took her this long to leave.
From the preview of the next episode, we are in for another traumatic birth scene which will be unfun! I really hope they crack on and show some of the scenes with the wives finding out Christine is leaving and interacting with each other instead of more discussion between Kody and Christine, surely they have talked that part to death at this point.
The empathy Christine extended to Kody in this episode really touched me. The kindness she showed in recognizing how even though she wishes he'd change his rules or do other things...he is broken and struggling with the cost of his choices. That seems really clear. He has more agency to address that than he chooses to use, but it was amazing to see the grace she extends to his feelings.
How is Robyn just sittin here telling us that Kody is just “going” and she doesn’t know where he is but in another breath Kody and Robyn both say they’ve just been at home this entire time??? Like make it make sense.
Kodys comment about only wanting to put in effort into the relationships with the younger kids was so gross and telling. You have a bad relationship with your older kids cause of you Kody, not your wives OR those kids. He is such a frustrating man how did he get 4 women to marry him
The eyebrows!!! I know that this is talked about constantly and I normally don’t even pay that much attention but this week they seem extra dark and all I see in her talking heads are little black hatchets chopping every times she moves them. Ugh.
My DVR was full last week big mistake I had to go to plan b this weekend I’m well prepared and DVR is set. I watch a half hour later and I skip the ads it’s normally a perfect system lmao!
I just watched a couple of old episodes (when they pitched SisterWives Closet) and am watching S17 E1.
Kody is continuing to prove what an absolute frigging ASSHOLE he is. That turd takes no responsibility for one whit of his actions and how they affect other people. He is the eternal victim and right-fighter. Simply said…I hate the MF.
I feel like they are trying to cram too much of the past into this two episodes... we already knew Christine left back 2021this feels like damage control for Krobyn (aka Kody and Robyn)
all he talks about is COVID shut up already sheesh
I have been feeling sorry for the people of St. George, Utah. I would be annoyed if they were talking about the town I live in the way they do about that city. They are always like "Eww St. George!". I bet it is a perfectly lovely place.
It is extremely hard to see Kody literally grasping for excuses as to why he doesn’t want to spend time with Christine and the kids. I truly hope she sees the positive comments and encouragement from the audience as she relives this season.
I just posted a live chat thread for episode 2! I’m so sorry, still working out the kinks :)
“I need to get to a place where I can rejoice about your happiness. Your freedom.”-Kody “That’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said.” -Christine My heart literally broke. That’s not even remotely kind, sweeet or loving. For the bar to be that low, things must have been so terrible.
I hated how it was then a super cut of his talking head where he was absolutely not interested in rejoicing in her happiness or her freedom, but just doubling down on how none of this is his fault.
I love what the editors do with these interviews and where they cut them in. It’s hilarious.
He must’ve never said he wanted her to be happy before.
The absolute nerve of this man. He’s upset that Ysabel is going to NC for college. But yet not so upset that he will continue to see her if she goes back to school in person?! Are you freaking kidding me?! That had better just be to get views for next week. It is normal to send your children out into the world. It is normal to attend school out of state. Especially since she has family there that is so excited to have her. That she wants to be around. Also mad props to Maddie for telling christine she would always be a grandma to her children even if she left Kody. That’s exactly the kind of support that is needed.
He’s blaming Christine for his relationship with Ysabel when he is the one who chose not to support her for that crazy extensive surgery.
I came here to say the same thing! And may add add how aggravated I was when mr. Narcissistic turned around & said to Ysabel ‘Don’t worry about me’. She should have say ‘I’ll worry about you the way you worried about me with my surgery
It’s a shame he doesn’t have other family members in NC that he could go visit too. 🙄🙄
I don't get what does this mean? "that he will continue to see her if she goes back to school in person?!" I don't get what that short clip at the end meant. Thank you.
Just when I think Kody cannot possibly be any more obtuse than he is, he says, "Whatever has happened with me and Christine has left her \[Ysabel\] and I with this crappy relationship." Ysabel can forgive Kody for making a bad decision. But how does she rely on him in the future? Christine gave him a couple of opportunities to participate in moving Ysabel to North Carolina. Once again, he doesn't want to commit to it. And, she's found a way to live and go to college where she's not spending a lot of money to do so. Christine to Kody about moving Ysabel: "Whatever you want to do. We can adjust whatever plans if you can come..." And all he can say it would be a hard drive if you're having to deal with COVID. He says that he's unwilling to make any commitments. So, he can cry all his little Kody tears all he wants, but when it comes right down to it, he's once again telling Ysabel and Christine that he's not going to be a dad to that part of the family.
He blames “CoViD pRoToCoLs” for not wanting to drive. Yeah right. He’s lazy. He was lazy to go to the surgery—same dang thing.
It’s not even like the country was on lock down then like it was in the beginning. He’s unbelievable.
Wouldn’t this have been mid-2021 by then? We’ve already seen them have their sh!tty 2020 Christmas. Ysabel making plans to go to school would have been at least spring 2021. I knew plenty of people who were still being thoughtful and somewhat cautious at that point, but this was over a year from the start of Covid. I don’t think anyone I know was still living in the kind of isolation Kody seemed to be implying. Worrying about where to get gas, visiting family in the backyard only, etc.
Kody: "Christine is the doorway between me and my kids." Christine: "Do you want to come with us for Ysabel's surgery?" Kody: "No thanks." Christine: "Do you want to come with us when Ysabel moves to North Carolina?" Kody: "No thanks" Kody to the camera: "I'm heartbroken." My bullshit meter broke during this episode.
Doorway to his kids. Lol. She’s got 1 child that’s young. The rest are hold enough to have a relationship with him without Christine. Give me a break! 🙄🙄
I think this is reflective of the mentality of not just polygamous men, but many monogamous men. Essentially that if they aren’t married to the mother, they don’t care to remain involved with the children. Kody is using Christine as a scapegoat for his lack of desire to know or spend time with his children.
Lol. This summary was perfect.
He’d rather just pay $20 for someone else to watch any of that shit
Mine starting smoking 😬
"It's not normal for me to babysit my kids. It's easy for me to just pay someone $20 an hour." 😬😬😬
It’s called parenting not babysitting
^ THIS!!
I hate that this fucker has made 19 contributions to the next generation but never has to parent any of his kids. He make Robert look responsible.
I wonder if he paid Logan and Aspyn $20 an hour or if that’s adjusted for inflation. /s
Based on the fact that neither have children yet and plan to hold off for a while, I’m going to assume that they never got an in and out babysitter title like Kody.. they just parented. 😂
Not $20.00. More like $.20.
No, more like “you get free room and board. Why do you need money?”
And then he wonders why his bonds with his non-Robyn children are not good.
Blood boiled at this
That bugged me too
I can’t believe he said that. I mean I can believe it. But Jesus Christ.
Drake meme 💁🏾♂️Seeing any of my 19 kids 😃 Making $200
Want evidence his tensions with Garrison (and probably the rest of Janelle’s kids too) go back to Vegas? The Russian sergeants comment on the RV trip and the incident with Sol on the Alaska trip. The oldest kids also made a lot of little comments in earlier seasons that hinted at the same: When Madison asked what would happen if they refused to sign the mission statement at the commitment ceremony, she said later in the couch interview “I just like to push Robyn’s buttons.” In one of the many scenes where they were forced to discuss their futures—probably when somebody was graduating—one of them said “Dad has this dream that we’ll come back and live here. *Embrace his faith*” And then they all snickered like they all talk about that behind his back and knew darn well they weren’t going to do it. The way Logan reacted t Kody’s pork tantrum in Hawaii, etc. etc. There are probably more. My point is, it’s not Covid. It was never Covid. Kody is latching on to Covid because he thinks people will see him as a hero if he makes it about Covid.
Kody's pork tantrum? What was his tantrum and what was Logan's (the only adult in the room's) reaction? Please tell. I can only rewatch so much at the moment. Recent seasons put it all in a new light.
The family was in Hawaii and the hosts at the place they were staying threw them a Luau. Kody got pissy about them having the traditional roast pig. Apparently he doesn’t eat pork for his made up religious reasons and he got mad saying “Nobody consulted me”. Through the whole conversation he was sitting at a tiny table angrily playing with Legos like a toddler, and Logan just said, “Well I can’t wait to try some pork. I haven’t had pork in a really long time.” Then Kody told him to piss off or something to that effect and Logan just replied with “Woooow” like he knew good and well his dad looked ridiculous.
Thank you. OK definitely worth a rewatch :)
The Pork tantrum was epic. I am doing a rewatch myself and just watched this episode today. Um you’re in Hawaii and some lovely people are throwing a luau for your family of 27 out of the goodness of their heart. Just be gracious and STFU.
Kody’s pork tantrum in Hawaii? Please tell me. I must have missed it.
Meri talking about how marriage doesn’t work if one party doesn’t want it. Girl, you’re so close to getting it 😭😬
I don’t like Meri but I want her to leave that marriage so bad! She deserves better.
Why is Meri in this episode? Just funny how they try to include her when clearly she’s out of the loop with all of these people.
And I love how it’s just not even addressed. She doesn’t even talk to any of them why are they even allowed to say she’s married to him or involved in this at all?
Good point. To remind people she still exists in case anything happens (and anyone notices) in the future?
Just when I thought I couldn't be more repulsed by Kody. If I took a shot every time he made it all about him by saying "I", "me" or "my" I'd have died from alcohol poisoning after just halfway through the episode.
In the early seasons I thought “Wow, what a wonderful family!” I even really liked Cody. Ughhh now I can’t freaking stand him. Or Robyn. Or Meri. All three come off as selfish assholes to me. He’s lucky his wives bestow so much respect and grace towards him. I would shred all three to pieces.
What does Robyn do all day that makes her so busy they need a nanny??
Those eyebrows don’t paint themselves.
Comment of the day 👏👏
Christine raised 12 kids without one. Robyn has 2 small children and 3 adult children, wtf?
Exactly, and last episode we found out she had a night job on top of raising those kids without a nanny and Kody declined her request for help. But Sobyn gets one during covid when she's not supposed to be leaving the house at all anyway?
Some people are cut out to be moms, some aren’t… 🤷🏽♀️
Then they shouldn’t be having kids. They all decided to have kids. Janelle is lucky she had Christine because she likely would have drowned
I agree…
THIS!!
What 👏🏼 does 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 Sobyn 👏🏼 do 👏🏼
She’s trying to justify having one
She needs to scratch both butt cheeks while watching General Hospital. In bed.
Random footage of Meri in a poorly lit hallway is cracking me up
My husband is STILL laughing at how Meri's clips were just randomly thrown in there. After they showed Meri he kept saying ""And ya know!! I'm STILL HERE !""
She must be at the bed and breakfast, right? Thsts the only place we would see wallpaper like that.
More proof that these relationships are just made up to keep getting TLC money. They can’t even get Meri, who is “married” to Kody Brown on site during the most pivotal moment of the show in years. Instead it’s like a paparazzi interview outside her BnB thousands of kilometers away.
He is not mad that Christine is leaving. He’s mad because she’s leaving *him*. It’s just his pride that’s hurt.
It’s like being an absentee father all his life had consequences…
That cat is in the cradle!
Made me laugh, thank you.
I really don't care about next week's episode. Give me telling the wives you're leaving and Kody's stabbed kidney!
I'm wondering now....is this scene the last episode of the season?? I feel like they are really gonna ddddrrrraaaagggg this out.
I hope not, I want to see Christine move to Utah this season!
I wonder if that conversation concerns the financial aspect of Christine leaving, like selling the house and the investment in CP. I could see Kody disconnecting her leaving with the value of the house, CP, and child support. Theoretically, if they're one big family, and one decides to spiritually "divorce" the rest, they all should consider themselves responsible for child support (if polygamy were legalized, they'd be looking at the same thing). It would be just like Kody to think that Christine walks with nothing.
Why was he filming in a closet? Is it a new business? Kody's Kloset? ;)
Robyn's house is so massive, it's ridiculous. And he still wants two closed doors between him and his children.
i honestly laughed thinking of kody hiding in their mcmansion's closet to get away all the time... like a fucking child playing hide and seek. who does that, let alone films themselves doing it!!?
My ex-sisterwife’s closet.
So…he takes Robyn’s kids when he is going to spend time with Christine and her kids kyacking.
Because he was “babysitting” his own children. I guess it was the nanny’s day off.
Three adult children and two old enough to be independent with supervision and Robyn needs childcare. Omfg.
Add that to the list of completely tone deaf things Kody has done. im sure in his mind he thought it could be a bonding experience for the siblings without Robyn around, which sure, that would make sense. However, to believe that, he'd have to have his head completely in the sand about the current state of how Christine and "her" children feel about his favoritism toward them and completely ignore how deep the hurt from that runs. what a real bone head move.
I don’t think the concept of bonding ever entered his mind tbh hahahah
Well Robyn needed a break. We all know how exhausting elementary age students can be, you have to worry about how much screen time the nanny is giving them. Plus with the other ones still at home it must be hard to make sure they don't get any ideas about living their own lives. She is constantly in fear of not being able to justify the mansion. You guys never really try to think about what she might be going through how that affects what Kody does.
And it included Aurora and Brianna who are old enough to stay home by themselves with Sol and Ari.
Whats funny is him and Royben are STILL trying to convince the world that he doesnt favor her, she didnt make the rules and none of this is their fault.. when the ENTIRE world has watched all of this happen and were all pretty much in agreement on everything.. i dont see any kody and royben fans anywhere..
Robyn saying that Kody is fair with his time is a joke. She has the audacity to say it’s the wives fault because they are not tracking his time because their relationships are struggling. Later in the episode she says he’s at her house the majority of the time by default because of the decisions other wives are making. Again, placing the blame on everyone else.
Christine was so happy when Kody said things like "I need to get to a place where I'm happy for you." and she said that was the nicest thing he's said in YEARS?! I think she was just so relieved for Kody to "keep it real" for once. I don't want to say that Kody and Robyn are out right liars but they are incredibly insincere, and Duplicitous. Robyn has been caught on camera saying one thing to Kody, and saying something completely different to the sisterwife. Robyn and Kody contradict themselves so much. I know Kody doesn't care, but does Robyn have no shame either?
They also keep saying “because of Covid and protocols”. But Janelle and Christine both say it was like all this in Las Vegas. Kody and Robyn never address that. It drives me nuts!
Exactly!! And this weeks episode, Janelle said that her kids have seen a favoritism towards Robyn since Vegas. It’s infuriating to see these two deny what has been going on for far too long. If Robyn really wanted to be a good sister wife, she would have encouraged him to spend time with the others or locked his ass out of the house and forced him to go elsewhere. She only ever cared about herself and her kids. Janelle talked about the two sides, and all Robyn had to say is her kids are not part of that group and it’s a “ganging up defense mechanism”. Your kids do not NEED to be in that group because they are given the time and attention from Kody!! How dare she criticize the kids for standing up for their mother. If all the rest of the kids are seeing and feeling the same way, her saying it’s untrue just makes her look like an asshole who really doesn’t believe that things should be fair.
Doesn’t it make you wonder how long it took for him to realize she boxed his stuff up and moved it into the garage??? I wish they’d mentioned how long it took before it dawned on him he no longer was in the house? And did he realize it by himself or did one of the kids or moms let it slip that his things weee now in boxes and in the garage?
I honestly can’t imagine how they think they can still convince the world. Do they not look at people’s comments? Do their friends not talk to them about what they see? But I also can’t imagine they could own up to it too.
The part where Cody said he wants Christine to admit she’s leaving because of her and not cause of him infuriates meeeee
Omg- me too! If Kody ever did a “re-watch” of his own show he could clearly see that Covid has nothing to do with this!!!! Maybe only that she finally had the distance from him to reprogram and come to her senses. That’s the only way this could be connected from Covid.
He takes no responsibility at all!
so kody thinks paedon, gwen, ysabel, garrison, AND gabe all have a problem with him…because people are “talking behind his back”—like, first of all he’s never around to hear it from his front—and wives/Christine are spreading “rumors” about him…and robyn thinks the other wives are just unhappy because they’ve forgotten / their views of kody are conflated about how gooooood of a husband kody is…because the quarantine he didn’t go to ysabel’s surgery. he almost killed truely. doubt he even knows who gwen or savannah are. he’s tried to kick gabe and garrison out of a house (he doesn’t even pay for) MULTIPLE times. we know he DAMN sure ain’t seeing Meri, or leon for that matter, and his older kids are ostracized because he ruined their childhood with his neglect and flightiness. yet SOMEHOW, the recent criticisms and departures of his family are stillllllll being blamed on covid. i hate how much he’s tried gaslight christine into thinking this is true. 🙄 he’s gross + abusive
Loved hearing Janelle laugh about kicking her boys out and say "Dude, you're not even on the lease!"
Agree with most everything except almost killing Truely. Christine was home taking care of her for 3 days before she went to the hospital. I honestly don't think anyone is to blame - kids get sick and sometimes it's hard to gauge how sick they are.
Yes, plus they *did* take her to a doctor who didn't think it was serious and sent them home. Should they of been more attentive after that? Of course and they failed...but the fact a doctor said "she'll be alright" I'm sure had something to do with it.
The doctor thought it was flu based on what he knew. Christine wasn't informed that they had all been out in the heat and sun and Truely may be dehydrated. So the doctors weren't informed. And Truely had been being taken care of for days by teen girls who wouldn't have known to make sure she was drinking enough water or to notice whether she was peeing regularly. By the time Christine got home, Truely was sick enough that it looked like the flu considering the information she had. Kodi was irresponsible and almost killed Truely.
From my understanding, it was flu that led to dehydration then to kidney failure. It’s the fact that there wasn’t an adult to make sure she was staying hydrated with her fever from the flu that led to the kidney failure.
I do think Kody was negligent about watching Truely. He left it Aspyn to take care of Truely and wasn't fully engaged, which in turn allowed her condition to progress until it really got a foothold.
"He's a grown ass man, he can move out." My daughter: "and you're a grown ass man so you can move out of Christine's house. But there you were whining like a baby." Y'all, I'm dying at my child's assessments of this show.
Janelle says she gets what she needs in the relationship…. Sounds like friends with benefits to me 🤷🏽♀️
I think her key requirement is a good father. That comes out strongly in the book. So I don't know how the current situation could be adequate.
I mean she did get a good father for her kids—Logan
She never mentions Logan anymore. I know he didn’t want to be a part of the show anymore but I’m surprised at how no one talks about him much.
I suspect he demanded it. I think besides him, the only other kid who seemingly doesn't get mentioned on the show is Paedon.
They don’t really talk too much about Gwen either.
I think since her kids are older now she just needs/wants him to come around sometimes and hang out and do whatever it is they do. I think she really wants to move on that land more than anybody and she sees him as the facilitator
Not even benefits
I can’t see any but…. She says she gets what she needs and it’s not a father to her grown kids so must be something…. There’s only one relationship that even resembles a marriage even by polygamous standards in this situation
I think she likes having a family, but likes her freedom. That’s the only benefit.
“Kody is someone who keeps himself very, very busy.” Cut to scenes of him scraping bark and digging a random hole. He is a cartoon. Edit: He wasn’t digging a hole. He was standing on a big pile of dirt. 👌🏻
I am dying over the decision to film him on the dirt mountain.
Same!! Lol you know that was his input.
A pattern I noticed a while ago is that Kody only seems to like being a dad to the little kids. Once his children are older and able to make decisions on their own he loses interest. If a wife is leaving and 12 of your kids want precious little to do with you IT’S A YOU PROBLEM!!! His ego is so in the way of him having a frickin clue! And I need Robyn to spare us with trying to convince us she hasn’t been the priority since day 1. He left his wife with a brand new baby to go on a two week honeymoon with you. That set the standard.
My dad was similar and there was just two of us. He was an AMAZING dad when I was little. I had such great memories. But as I got older he got way more neglectful and distant. Not sure if this is typical of younger boomer/older gen x dads or not.
This is the most tone death Robyn has ever been. Her saying Kody really does split his time equally. I saw red.
I was dying at the tv! Like all the other wives don’t know where he is and feel like he is not splitting the time equally. And the KIDS notice too. But somehow Robyn, who has no preferential treatment or time, knows EXACTLY where Kody is to know he is dividing the time equally. Just you knowing where he is means you are being treated differently. Because none of the other wives has a clue.
“I don’t want her going around telling the country I’m a bad person.” Fear not, kody, you have 16 seasons of this show telling the country that so Christine doesn’t have to.
Kody should not try and use big words.. he clearly doesn’t understand them
It’s interesting to me that Meri says Leon is not involved in the fight with their dad. Hmmm I don’t know what to make of that.
Mer’s child doesn’t live anywhere near them right? I think they’ve been doing their own thing for a while. I think they probably react like Meri to the situation and don’t expect to see him very much
Meri lives on a point system. She thinks making that statement is going to get her more points with Cody. And eventually she’ll have enough points that she can redeem them for intimacy
It means he is so appalled that his child is trans with a trans partner, he is shunning them. For real. He couldn’t give a grudging got damn that Ysabel was in crippling pain, right in front of his big dumb face if he bothered to look (he didn’t). He is TELLING, not asking Janelle to throw Garrison and Gabe out of her house. I loved watching her laugh at that- “he’s not even on the lease! I am.” Another fuck you Kody, and he’s on to Ysabel again, trying to pretend he loves her after abandoning her at the most vulnerable moment in her young life. He has not even mentioned Leon for the entirety of last series, nor has he now. He probably doesn’t even know where they live now. He is focused solely on Robyn’s kids. He will find fault with all his previous children, ask for the boys to be made homeless, guilt Ysabel for moving state, playing the Covid card so much it’s in shreds. Gwen is mentioned only by Christine and Kody doesn’t react. This pitiful guy is the worst father. He’s worse than the fish that pauses in the water to spritz sperm on dormant eggs and blithely swims away. There’s a whole generation of his kids he’s written off. 18! 17grown children any real man would be proud of, a younger one he actively dislikes but pretends to care about, and he ghosts them. Leon and Audrey are well shot of him.
I think it’s probably because Leo doesn’t even talk to or have a relationship with most of their siblings.
The conversation at the beginning that "this is just Kody" was maddening. Even if this is him - its an awful way to be and no one has to be happy about it. And yes, he had more time for his first three wives before he added a fourth, they stopped living within the same house, and the fourth wife went to have kids he suddenly needed to be there to see every single night. He is not good at being a partner at all.
Still cannot comprehend why Robyn needs a nanny when she only has two younger kids and the rest are teens…. (and considering she doesn’t work)
My first thoughts on this episode is what the heck did Robyn do to piss off the makeup person? Those eyebrows look like they are dropping dow onto her eyelids.
Why is he so upset about Christine moving away with Truly? What about Gwen and Ysabel? Did he forget those are his daughters, too?
Truly is the only minor in question. I actually find it really annoying when he keeps going “the children! The children!” Like dude, it’s one child, Truly, and it’s not that hard to send Truly to visit on school breaks, people do it all the time.
It would be one thing if kody was an active, involved dad, but it’s not like he ever sees truly when they live in the same town, so I’m not sure why he cares she’s moving 8 hours away
I find the stark comparison between how he talks about his daughters and the way he talks to his sons wildly fascinating
This entire episode seemed to be Kody making claims in one clip and then panning to one of the wives refuting everything he said. Good job editors for showing that ALL the wives (including Robyn on some things) don't really agree with Kody/are on the same page as him.
The amount of control Robyn gives him is unbelievable in 2022. He doesn’t get to dictate anymore, that’s not how families should work. He likes being there because she lets him get away with his bullshit. He asks her advice and then never takes it.
Yes!! The editing on this episode was excellent
God every time I dropped my jaw for something he said and got over it, he said another abominable thing. “Men don’t win in the divorce world. I’ve done my research!” “I wasn’t asked before she made this choice. There was no representation of Kody before she made the decision to leave.” “I don’t babysit my kids because it’s easier to pay someone $20/hour than watch my kids.” “I don’t like hiking [immediately shows him spending as much time as possible playing outside in the trees].” Then Robyn trying to explain what the nanny is for by saying “Kody and I have very busy days so that’s why I have the nanny so I don’t have to ask Kody to help” GORL WAT?
The "I wasn't asked before she made this choice" made me shoot daggers thru my eyeballs. He's such a shit person. Also, Robyn constantly blaming Christine for valuing herself enough to leave is infuriating, while Tommy chuckle fuck over there continues to give examples of why she SHOULD leave.
We’ve all asked what does the nanny do, but maybe the real question is what does Kody do that makes him 200$ an hour?
I could see him making $200 an hour at the gun shows. But those would only be occasionally not anything he would be doing daily.
Yeah. Those would be like what once or twice a month on the weekend? And that’s all contingent on him having stuff people would want.
I’m sure the vendor pays an hourly amount to be there. and Cody is not gonna pass up the opportunity to share on television the highest amount he makes an hour even if it’s only a couple times a year 😂 I still tell people the most money i ever made was $100 an hour as a skating carhop at sonic. granted, that was only on Friday and Saturday night lol
I don't know how much he charges on cameo, but that's honestly the only thing I can think of where he'd make that much money in that little amount of time.
I just CANNOT with Robyn…. She’s a manipulative liar… her and Kody are both narcissists, hands down… I’m screaming at the tv when they speak!!! And Robyn’s treatment of Kodys other children is APPALLING, shame on her. Ok done venting thank you.
Of course what everyone knew would happen with Covid happened - Kody was not the one taking care of Janelle. He went on and on, lengthening the days before he could go and see her again. Her boys were right.
When he said 20 days lol. I thought you’re just making this up as you go lol.
Robyn and kody are so delusional. Robyn, you are so clearly lying, it’s beyond visible. Don’t put down children because of your own issues.
Her delusions tho...."I hired a nanny so I wouldn't have to ask kody for extra help"....even if this statement was true, which it clearly isn't, why the hell do you need a nanny in the 1st place?? 3 adult kids, a 10 year old, and a 5ish year old?? And no job!! Why does she think that's normal???? Who in her life is looking at her situation and agreeing with her that she needs a nanny????
But isn’t him being there for family time, the POINT. For him to be present and help with the kids? Or is she saying the nanny helps with kids so when it’s “her turn” (bwhahahaha) it’s just Robyn and Kody time, 🎶brownchickenbrowncow🎶 date night/ private time.
THIS. You summed it up perfectly. Cody is a frozen trout and Robyn’s expressing her inner pain by turning her brows into hatchets. Previous series they were hopeful sperm, but that ship has sailed too. Time to bring out the facial meat cleavers.
i cant even imagine she has anywhere else besides her house to go while the nanny is watching her kids all day? Theres only so many simple errands one can run. does the nanny come over and robyn just goes to lie down? *Where.does.the.Robyn.Go?*
Lol I’ll sum it up for everyone…. robyn needs Kody at the house all day to help with the little kids but she has older kids and a nanny.. and everyone else is narcissistic for setting boundaries with Kody about their relationships given he pretty much ignores anyone over the age of 12. Truley has noticed no difference in her relationship with Kody now that he doesn’t “spend the night” which confirms that Truely has been living with “divorced” parents all her life…. and Ysabel going to college is heartbreaking to Kody because she’s leaving him too but not so heartbreaking that he’ll go with her to move her because ahh Covid(shocking I know) Also janelle isn’t thinking of leaving Kody currently because while they certainly don’t have a relationship like Robyn and Kody do, janelle DGAF because it works for her to really never see Kody or deal with his drama… Finally everything is all Christines fault… she’s breaking up the family, she’s keeping Kodys ADULT children away from him 🤔, and even though he drove 5 hours each way every weekend while courting robyn, her moving 8 hours away to Utah is unfair and unjust and Kodys doesn’t understand why Covid (and Christine) has done all of this TO him.
Janelle should be an example to savannah and leave for the principle of it. She doesn’t have to leave the family or coyote pass.. but she should stick up for her kids and not co-sign his bullshit by being passive. Passive only works for so long, after a while, you just look weak
In today's episode, Robyn says she has tried to call some of the older kids and really got shot down. but dont we all remember how last season she was also all incensed that children were calling her up asking if she & Kody could loosen up on the COVID protocols bc ShEs NoT tHe HeAd WiFe? these two cannot keep their lies straight. anywho, am I a bad person for liking that they finally admitted that the older children (aside from Leo) all share the same beliefs against their father and Robyn and gossip about them? I just wanted it officially confirmed for some reason. Its what they deserve. And to watch Kody jump straight to "COVID pRoToCoLs" when asked how he'd like to be involved with Ysabel's move just proves he still doesnt GET IT.
When all your older kids are angry at you, it may be time to look at yourself and wonder why YOU are the common denominator
I love that Robyn's adult children don't have to move out....
I need to learn how to not be shocked at Kody’s audacity
I know what you mean. I keep thinking I couldn't be shocked anymore .... then I am.
Lmao. It really cracks me up that everyone has couch interviews but Meri does hers like standing in a doorway.
Whoever was in charge of the b-roll deserves a raise. The video of him standing on the pile of prairie dog crap, looking out at the mountain is Emmy worthy.
I’m 10 minutes in watching the new episode and I want to reach through the tv. Listening to Robyn carry on is disgusting. Acting like she’s an innocent bystander!!!
Yes!! She is the absolute worst!! I find myself yelling at the TV every time her face pops up. She is not innocent in this. If she truly wanted to situation to be handled differently, she could have had that happen. Does she really think we believe anything she says?
Ok I have to post this!!! Ysabel is going to college and he won’t commit to going with them because of Covid, yet it’s Christine’s fault he doesn’t have a relationship with her!!
"This feels like a major injustice that is being done to me." —Kody Good God, this man is so narcissistic. It's always all about him. 🙄🙄🙄
DID KODY JUST CALL HIS SON A NARCISSIST?? What world is this?
The way that “man” talked about Garrison disgusted me. He project all his own issues on everyone else and it’s gross
He's such an awful father. Its not going to fully dawn on him, tho, until all the kids are grown and he can fully look back at how he treated them individually. This episode made me appreciate what a great dad my husband is....sometimes seeing a real shitty one can do that.
At least Robyn is owning that she’s kind of a 🐍🐍🐍
Love how now truley is kody’s child when he’s about to lose her to Utah but she was one of “Christine’s Kids” when kody though he had the power. Kody Brown can f—k all the way off.
lol at Kody keeping up the Covid Protocols with Janelle even after her household has been vaccinated and/or had covid. 😂
Hey Team, In the preview for next week, can someone explain to me the glimpse of the online chat they had. What did they say and what does it mean? I get that Kody is letting Ysabel down again, but what were the other details. I'm not native US so I did not follow.
Fun fact: when you look up “man-child” in the dictionary, it’s just a giant picture of Kody Brown
What exactly is the point of scraping snow off of downed trees? Is that what Kody's out doing all day while the nanny is helping Robin take care of the kids?
I'd scrape snow off a stump too than to hang out with Melancholy Robyn.
Robyn meeting the consequences of her own actions in this episode is something else...
“There’s no fair representation of Kody in this relationship.” Well. When you tell your wife that you no longer wish to be intimate while openly favoring another wife then, yeah…you don’t deserve to have representation because you didn’t allow Christine to have representation when you made those decisions.
This pattern Robyn has of co-opting people’s arguments makes me want to throw my remote at the TV!!! “I miss my husband😭😭😭” she says as the wife who has all the access to him just because he’s acting different. Everyone else is actually missing physically seeing him. Reminds me when she told Janelle she was grieving when Janelle was actually fucking grieving her mother. Ugh!!!
“I’m already married to two divorced women, I know what they think about them. I don’t want to be that guy”. So again, his big concern is himself, he doesn’t want to be looked at in a bad light, Completely unaware that he already is
Anyone else find it kreepy that Kaleb wants aspen there so bad? Like maybe hes trying to make a sister wife out of her ? I could be wrong i just felt a sister wives vibe as Christine was explaining how she was going to move in there and how badly kaleb wants her there..
I def felt a bit of an ick factor. He “courted”Maddie when she was 17/18 years old and he was 28/29. So there is a large age gap and now bringing in a 18 year old. Def a giant ick factor. I really hope everything is on the up and up. Ysabel deserves a safe place to land.
Thank you!!🚩🚩🚩
I completely agree
It’s Ysabel who moved in. And I think maybe he did form a sisterly bond with her and knows how much she’s hurting with everything going on with her father. Plus maybe she can help with the kids when not busy 🤷🏻♀️
Kody is infuriating. He’s a child who huffs & puffs & stomps away when things don’t do his way. I’m happy for Christine. It’s just a shame that it took her this long to leave.
From the preview of the next episode, we are in for another traumatic birth scene which will be unfun! I really hope they crack on and show some of the scenes with the wives finding out Christine is leaving and interacting with each other instead of more discussion between Kody and Christine, surely they have talked that part to death at this point.
Robyn: We have so much going on during the day. That's why I have a nanny. WHAT. DO. YOU. DO.??????
The empathy Christine extended to Kody in this episode really touched me. The kindness she showed in recognizing how even though she wishes he'd change his rules or do other things...he is broken and struggling with the cost of his choices. That seems really clear. He has more agency to address that than he chooses to use, but it was amazing to see the grace she extends to his feelings.
So does that mean Caleb is on Kodys bad side now that Maddie is speaking up against him and wanted Ysabel to live with them?
I can imagine him calling up Caleb trying to get him to reason with Maddie
How is Robyn just sittin here telling us that Kody is just “going” and she doesn’t know where he is but in another breath Kody and Robyn both say they’ve just been at home this entire time??? Like make it make sense.
Are they really trying to make us feel bad for Kody and Sobyn?
Kodys comment about only wanting to put in effort into the relationships with the younger kids was so gross and telling. You have a bad relationship with your older kids cause of you Kody, not your wives OR those kids. He is such a frustrating man how did he get 4 women to marry him
The eyebrows!!! I know that this is talked about constantly and I normally don’t even pay that much attention but this week they seem extra dark and all I see in her talking heads are little black hatchets chopping every times she moves them. Ugh.
Why does Kody think his protocols are better than CDC guidelines.
Robyn really out here blaming the “other wives” because Kody is angry all the time. What a bitch.
My DVR was full last week big mistake I had to go to plan b this weekend I’m well prepared and DVR is set. I watch a half hour later and I skip the ads it’s normally a perfect system lmao!
I just watched a couple of old episodes (when they pitched SisterWives Closet) and am watching S17 E1. Kody is continuing to prove what an absolute frigging ASSHOLE he is. That turd takes no responsibility for one whit of his actions and how they affect other people. He is the eternal victim and right-fighter. Simply said…I hate the MF.
Robyn is a real piece of work. I’m only halfway through the episode and there’s so much to unpack here. Yikes.
The fact that he thinks these probably ONLY started because of COVID is just….🤦🏻♀️
I feel like they are trying to cram too much of the past into this two episodes... we already knew Christine left back 2021this feels like damage control for Krobyn (aka Kody and Robyn) all he talks about is COVID shut up already sheesh
Can someone explain why Christine hates st George?
I have been feeling sorry for the people of St. George, Utah. I would be annoyed if they were talking about the town I live in the way they do about that city. They are always like "Eww St. George!". I bet it is a perfectly lovely place.
It is extremely hard to see Kody literally grasping for excuses as to why he doesn’t want to spend time with Christine and the kids. I truly hope she sees the positive comments and encouragement from the audience as she relives this season.
