Poor Poor Kody
I am so tired Kody trying to make himself look good. He push three wives away. They've known for years that Robyn is his favorite wife. I'm glad to see them finally standing on their feet for themselves and their children. I haven't seem him leave for work one day. But he wants the wives to be loyal even when he's not attracted to them and has no sexual desires to them. He just failed at this plural marriage mess. These women love him he could care less about anyone who isn't Robyn. Maybe he needs to go to the church and let them show him what to do. They have been living in Flagstaff still not one house have they broken ground on. He needs to get his ass out there and get a job. Robyn is his perfect wife.
Can you say Narcissist?
From day one of this show, Kody gave me the creeps. The hair, the metallic pink car he had, the whole Mr. God's gift to women Peter Pan syndrome. I watched out of curiosity, out of sympathy for the wives and kids, then out of I cannot stand how this guy treats his wives and kids until a few years ago when I started throwing bricks at the TV screen every time his oh poor me botoxed face was on the screen until I couldn't take it anymore. I'm no psychiatrist, but can anyone just scream Kody is a Narcissistic a-hole with me? Good grief. HE is the problem and has now destroyed his "marriages" and his relationships with his children. He has also destroyed several of his children emotionally. I can now barely tolerate the commercials for the show. The only place his face belongs is on the south end of a north bound horse. Buh-bye Toady Kody!
Kody feeding his gargantuan ego
There is coming a new monument to the United States, similar in theme and design to Mount Rushmore, that of the oracle of wisdom Kody Brown. His carved image will, as always, be surrounded by the lesser images of four women all fawning over him like lemmings.
In the arena of the genre of so called "reality" TV, there is a vast wasteland of garbage and idiocy. However, some of these reality TV shows manage to slither into sewers and crevices even lower than the rest. Sister Wives, featuring Kody Brown the holy oracle of polygamy along with his patriarchal empire, is the epitome of moronic reality shows.
If this sloppy mess of distressed emotions and constant social conflict was meant to put polygamy in a good light, it fails miserably. Kody can make up phrases like "multiple marriage" to legitimize his world of confusion," but the reactions of his four wives (one legal and three he calls "spiritual") belie his false pretense of harmony and success. And multiple marriage means exactly the same thing that polygamy does.
Nothing is ever calm in the four neighboring households "on the cul- de-sac" that defines Kody's realm. None of his kids seem happy, and one by one are moving as far from him as they can get. The women are griping all the time, and of course, instead of blaming his royal highness they stage childish cat fights among themselves to increase his ego of having women fighting over him. Listening to their carefully prepared speech is irritating too; you can just see Kody's disheveled hair and squinty eyes staring at them threateningly while they talk.
One could go on and on about how trashy these people and their arrangement are. Suffice it to say there are many other TV channels you could be watching instead of these imbeciles.

So much unhappiness!
I thought the point of this show was to show the public that polygamy works. I've binged watched the entire show and I've yet to see anything that gives the impression that any of these women are happy. There is constant bickering and jealousy. Robin might be a *little* happy. It's painfully obvious that she's the favorite wife. She seems to be the only one out of all four that is even remotely comfortable in her relationship. None of the kids want to follow a polygamist lifestyle. Can't blame them.
I'm actually surprised they continued doing the show after Meri's catfishing scandal. What better way to prove that none of these women are getting what they need emotionally than to have one of the wives looking for love online..? Poor woman had seemingly finally found her way out and instead it was a scam. I guess when Kody says "love should be multiplied and not divided", he really just means the number of women HE can sleep with. It's obvious that Meri REALLY wants to be seen as the victim and not the married woman who was looking for love on the internet. She seemingly wants her family to help mend her broken heart. It's....awkward. It's also obvious that she offered to divorce Kody, bought the B&B on her own and tried to start a new relationship in hopes of getting away from the "family". It's easy to see why Kody has changed his opinion towards her. He realizes that she is no longer completely dependent on him. You can actually hear his ego shattering through your TV screen if you listen hard enough. The whole thing is really, really sad.
The easiest way to sum up this show is that you've got 4 drama queens wanting the main spotlight. I say 4 because Janelle couldn't care less. It's hard to tell if that is their real life personality or just their TV personality to keep the show interesting. In one episode, Christine talks about how many times Kody has moved the family during her time with him. The number of moves is astounding. Is Kody a polygamist because of a "calling" or just because he's never satisfied with anything..? Let those kids settle somewhere. You've already drag them through a lifetime of ridicule and shame due to your lifestyle. It has to be horrific for those kids to keep having to introduce themselves to new sets of friends and explain their home life, especially now that the fam has aired their problems on TV for a decade.
And last but not least, we have Kody's hair. It has always been a pitiful sight, but somehow he has outdone himself. He is now in his 50s and sporting a platinum spiral perm that he wears in a man bun most of the time. Good Lord.

So much negativity
This is the story of five people who don't seem to like each other, do nothing but complain about each other and the choice they have made. Its getting too negative to watch anymore. They keep complaining about where they live, move, then complain about where they've gone. You know what they say, you can move but you take your problems with you.
