Sister Wives

This family has always been a fascinating sort of train wreck. I have been engrossed in every season and grew to really like the individual people, and always hoped for more follow up seasons to keep up on the Brown family, but I'm not sure I can watch much more unless these two things are changed:

1. The catfishing situation and the Meri/Mariah situation has been beaten to death and is still going... and going... and going... still being dragged on endlessly even though it happened 4 years ago- I can't watch any more of that because now it's just incredibly annoying. Meri was my favorite one in the beginning back in 2010 because she was so down to earth and relatable, but she's SO victimy now and always suspecting that everyone in her family is out to get her, and she can't seem to see how her behavior in her relationships is often quite toxic and inflammatory, and she really needs some intensive therapy on her own to get herself through this midlife crisis and out of this major victim mode. I feel like she changed at the time of the divorce and turned into a completely different person... and has felt like the left out, abandoned victim ever since. But please, no more catfish stuff. That dead horse has been beaten down to nothing and you're killing us regular viewers with it.

And...

2. This show is SOOOOO far behind real life that I have looked things up online to get details. The current episodes aren't current at all. So Axel should only be a few months old according to the episodes playing now but in reality he's almost two. Meri didn't JUST open the B&B, it's been open for more than a year, and there's been another wedding and another pregnancy, and a major relocation several months ago, but we probably won't see that until 2021. It's so far behind real life. I wish they would try to catch up, at least a bit. I could understand being a few months behind but not this far behind.

I have to say that Christine keeps me watching. She's down to earth and I love how she puts Kody and all of his gigantic attention-seeking narcissism in his place (like "this is NOT about you Kody"). She seems so real. I love how she goofs around, even tackling Meri, because she makes the show fun. And her honesty is refreshing- the best part of the show. Janelle is a sweet lady but so emotionally detached that I don't see how she has any relationships at all, and I hope she can heal from whatever childhood trauma made her so entirely afraid to be vulnerable and connected to other people, because she obviously has a good heart. Robyn is nice and seems sincere too. Polygamy is clearly a miserable way to live, no matter what the show's intro script says. Holy cow. Never in a million years could I live that way. But still, a train wreck that is interesting to watch. Take out the catfish, get Meri individual counseling, catch up a bit (seriously!), and then keep it coming!

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.

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.

I watched this show years ago and thought it was great. The 3 wives worked together well and I felt a little envious of them because they had their crap together and even with slight disagreements they were well and truly a family to be envious of!!! Then came Robyn. I continued to watch and saw the decline in the other wives and so many issues arising from the rise of Robyn as the newest wife and how many things she managed to manipulate and change along the way , she is rather good at working her magic and getting Kody to comply with everything whilst making it all look like his doing. After A few seasons of her I switched off as it just wasn't the same. I decided to tune back in recently 2021 and wow it's pretty hard to watch now as it well and truly is all about Robyn as I predicted. And Kody still has his head well and truly planted in her sandlot. And even more recently with Covid added to the situation and everyone having rules places on them. Oh except Robyn can have a Nanny ......... blerk!!!!!! It's the Robyn show in full swing! The other wives if you read this , life is way too short and there is still plenty of life to be had for you all with all your kids, you are no longer wives or partners you are minions and chess pieces in the life and times of Robyn and Kody - get out , get out now, run!!!!!

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!
