The best part of the whole episode is when Kody is complaining about everything in the restaurant and they cut to Christine laughing about how great it is to not be with him. 😂
Exactly!! I'm 61 and have a pulmonary lung disease (not related to smoking) had covid at 60, it was like a bad flu, never did I feel like I was going to die, he is a man baby.
I don't believe Kody forced her to buy a house, her requirements for a rental home were unrealistic forcing her to buy, it was an excuse to play dumb/innocent, Robyn is more intelligent and far more manipulative than she presents.
I agree. It wasn't that there was nothing to rent, it was that they had to have an enormous house in a specific area. Not like Janelle who never expected that her children have their own room. The difference is like night and day.
Does anyone else notice how pop psych and his wife look at each other with respect and love while they talk with each other? It’s pretty impressive and sweet
I thought the exact same. Let’s freeze our butts outside instead of going in the huge house the family bought me. Oh and I don’t know why the family doesn’t want to spend the holidays freezing outside, oh and I didn’t even invite them over.
She put up a good show saying she didn’t want to buy the house but in reality it was the only one that meant all of her boxes checked it had to have more than one room. I mean any of her kids to share a room she didn’t want any of her kids to sacrifice anything but she wasn’t willing to downsize so in reality. Yes, she wanted his house.
One thing that’s not mentioned on the show is I believe Robyn has guardianship of a niece or something so I getting needing a lot of bedrooms (although many of her kids are old enough to be living on their own) but the house is still extravagant and unnecessary. Could’ve had the space with something more affordable.
Honestly, I feel like Robyn had given sooooooooo much crap to Christine, and spoke sooooooo much crap about Christine, for buying her house and delaying the building on coyote pass that she had to pretend that she hated the idea soooooooooo much to save face when she ended up buying. I just watched that season and Robyn was so insensitive to Christine every time she said she felt buying was selfish. Look at Christine everytime when they are all together and Robyn starts going off on her reasons for not wanting to buy. There is so much underlying tension there. Every comment is squarely directed at Christine for her buying her house outright. I do think also that Christine was planning to leave Kody before ever leaving Vegas and her owning her own house and building equity in it was part of her long term plan. She was pretty smart about it. I think she made the right move.
Robyn is trying to keep Meri there because Robyn wants her $$$ contribution and credit rating. All of Robyn's family and friends report she has a spending addiction. Why does she not meet with Meri in her house?? I suspect she doesn't want the viewers to see how she spends the family money. Robyn is manipulative 100%!!!
I saw a still shot last night and there was a pile of newspapers by the front door and I saw boxes behind her on the side of the hallway. I really do believe she’s a hoarder of the over shopping kind.
@laurieerickson7205 wouldn't it be crazy if she was forced to move out of that big house. I would love to hear they were losing the house because all the wives left with their money. If she is a shopaholic I love that most of the money is gone and Kody might have to deal with the wife that spends the most.
Christine and Janelle do have more of a spouse relationship than Kody has with either of them. Also, Kody driving a sports car says all you need to know about that selfish jerk.
Just finished watching the episode. Robyn just sees all in the family as accessories in her dream, not as equal humans with their own lives and feelings. She is completely self-centered with no self-awareness.
Mari spent over 20 years getting a ridiculous size of the family income. She spent a lot of money herself. She also went to school for social work and wasn’t able to use it. Her only income is the bnb. Which is only profitable because of the sacrifices the other two og wives made so Mari wouldn’t feel bad about only having one bio kid.
@@tracim3080Meri has been one of the top Lu La Roe sellers for many many years, she probably makes more than all of them. She did that even before she got the B&B and still does.
@@tracim3080 it's Meri with an "e," and I only care because using English properly is important plus I don't understand how the many people spelling it "Mari" don't see how off that is! ANYWAY MERI allegedly or apparently made $$$ from hideous LuLaRoe (pronounced "ROW" NOT "ROO" as tons mis-pronounce it).
@@ParadoxicaLeo730 it’s makes no difference. That’s you being pompous. There is thousands of types of English there is no actual one fits all rules for the language. High society made up a bunch throughout history as a way to cause bridges between the classes. So by harping on about proper English you really are just being an ass. You know who we are talking about so stay off your high horse.
Robyn absolutely wanted to buy that house. They were playing (Good cop Bad cop) so Robyn would not be blamed for that overly extravagant purchase with the family money
Thank you for your comments about it being the parents’ responsibility to have a relationship with their children. My daughter has no contact with her dad - she lives hours away and has driven to see only to have him cancel when she got to his town. In her mind he chose his new family. We aren’t polygamist either.
It's probably a hot mess and she also doesn't want anyone to know how much money she's been blowing through that are Meri, Janelle, and Christine's incomes.
I also gain so much JOY when Christine is like "everybody's so angry" 😂🤔😂 Like, hmmm sounds like I was just a regular person with reasonable emotions reacting to this nonsense like any sane person would! It has to be so vindicating for her. ❤
Robyn SAID she didn't want to buy that house, but that was just for the cameras. She wanted it, but didn't want everyone thinking she wanted this huge house. So they made it look like KOdy forced her to get it. The same way Robyn didn't want to move to Flagstaff...sure Robyn ;)
Indulge me here… My hot take on Robyn is she liked being Cody’s favorite. She enjoys the polygamist lifestyle when she feels like it’s a competition and she’s winning. She’s freaking out because the prize of Cody is not at all what she wants on her own! It’s only fun when it’s a competition… anyone?!?
Agreed! My daughter and I binged this show this weekend and sobyn makes me sick. Mari is pathetic. Picking up the torch? Is something Kotex would say, she’s vomiting what he says . My opinion
It’s Robyn’s new victim narrative. “I’ve been duped, they all came together to trick me and my kids.” It would be laughable if it weren’t so insidious.
Yes she wanted that house. She needed a 5 bedroom house as I remember, so there was nothing to rent. So she acts like she’s forced to buy a beautiful 5 bedroom house.
Kody wanted Janelle to buy Christine's house so they could use it as an income property and rent it out. Notice he isn't telling Robyn she needs to move out of that big house and turn it into a rental. Robyn is FOS
Robyn is lying, she don't want to see Meri money walk out the door. She wants to keep shopping without having to work. The OG wives brought in a lot of money for Robyn to spend, she over played her hand.
All I could think about the conversation between Robyn and Meri was that Robyn was intentionally, slyly playing dumb. She knows how people talk about her and blame her for being a family wrecker. She knows she's the one who's had Kody to herself since they moved or even before. Prior to Christine leaving she knew EVERYTHING about Kody and the family, and would push her way forward to answer all the questions as "spokesperson" for them all, but NOW she knows NOTHING? Hahahaaa... and why couldn't she invite Meri into her house when Meri forgot her coat and was freezing? What's in Robyn's home that she won't let anyone see? I thought they paid her for being on this show, yet, the only place they can film is her ugly front bench? Also, after the "tell all" at the end of S. 17, Robyn was righteously ANGRY. Oh she gets it. She's not dumb, she's mega, ultra selfish.
Maybe that was Meri being manipulative by "forgettimg her coat" to see if Robyn would invite her in. And the cameras would catch it all... 😂 I hope so!
But Robyn also can’t figure out how to do her eyebrows so they look even remotely normal so maybe she is that dumb? 🤷♀️ I’m so distracted when she’s talking I can barely concentrate on what she is saying. 😆
Robyn is the coworker that you don't share your concerns or personal issues with because EVERYTHING you share with them gets shared with the boss (Kody) and not in a positive light. They shared with her what the family needed to function but nothing personal.
She wants meri to stay because meri brought in alot of money to the family. Meri was one of the wives who made the most money in the whole family. Kody and Robyn were very aware of that fact which is probably why he strung her along for so long.
Sobin Robyn is a master manipulator. She knows exactly what she is doing. She has always wanted to be the head wife and loves that she influences Kody and indirectly gets him to do whatever she wants him to do. Also, why do they never film inside Robyn's house? Bottom line, Robyn gets what Robyn wants! Love your commentary with you and your wife, you two are great together!
@conniecat77!! Exactly, and if she never gets involved with the other wives marriages, then why in ever scene, that's all she talks about!! She NEVER talks about her and Kody's issues!! She is sooooo FOS!!!
5:59 - my face when my husband makes a good point and I admit it. So glad you do these together, I enjoy your healthy interactions as much as the analysis of the show.
What got me was when Kody insisted on the Covid testing when Truely and Ysabel come down at Christmas, but there was no mention of Christine having done a test before the lunch. Kody has broken the distancing restrictions by meeting Christine for lunch. He only throws out the restrictions and testing when he wants to throw up barriers. I noticed that when Kody and Robyn meet with Mykelti and Tony last season as well.
He really don’t want to see those kids/he wants all the kids at his house to show out on them some of Janell boys are big and strong enough to beat his butt if he starts picking up logs and waving them at their heads 😂
Robyn comes off as a woman who likes to compete with other women, gets off on being Queen B with the other Sister Wives. She is upset about the other women choosing themselves n their children, now she no longer has anyone to compete with.
Meri's turkey story is priceless. I loved hearing her true belly laugh. Like Christine, she has found the humour in her past with Kody. Christine would love that story. Meri and Christine have more in common than either of them think they have.
I was thinking about this, too. I remember Christine saying Meri was not a safe person and it made me wonder if Meri did something to betray her. Maybe because she is close to Robyn, so everything gets back to her? I wonder if they communicated now about everything that has happened, if they could be friends.
Come on guys, you are being way too kind about Meri & Robyn & btw, why the hell is Meri still frigging sitting outside in the cold when she follows their rules? Oh yeah Robyn really, really wants the family to reconnect. Give me a break. I mean seriously, what a joke!
@@Heytheirat first I thought yeah you’re probably right, but after thinking about it, the camera crew would all definitely be tested. There’s no way Kody would be around them filming if they weren’t.
I love the fact that Christine is "giddy" every time she speaks in this episode. It's so great to see her happy. And you two did a great job; I thought most of it was boring too.
He's right, the relationship between christine and kody was messed up prior to covid. Robyn alienated kody and monopolized all his time and made it worse.
I think that Robyn’s courtship is what drove the wedge deep. I feel like the family was in a good place until Robyn put that “good good” on Kody and he fell in lust. I mean I’m glad they have a good sex life, but their relationship ruined this family.
Honestly, I think they had problems before the show even. I think Christine talked about how Kody wouldn’t help with her kids when they were younger while she worked nights. I can only imagine how much worse that got after Robyn!
When Kodie asked Merry for a divorce so that he could marry Robyn and adopt Robyn's children is when Merry started feeling left out. That would hurt anyone.
Okay, I'm confused Doc! If you've watched the back seasons, you'll notice that Robyn is the only wife that doesn't work outside the home. Meri is the last one contributing to the "Family Fund". Now, I do think that the other wives stopped believing for various reasons. Robyn never wanted monogamy. She knows that living with Kody one on one is horrible. But she brought this on herself. She never tried to be a part of this family. I wanted all the perks and none of the work!
Not only doesn’t Robyn work, she doesn’t even look after her own children, she’s got a nanny for that. Which has given her more time to go shopping and spend the other wives money.
When u asked your wife in the beginning if Robyn was dense or a good liar. I really think that she feels like she had part in the family falling apart and if Meri tells her it’s been there, then she doesn’t have to hold so much guilt, and accountability. It’s like she’s begging Meri to tell her what she wants to hear.
Reqatching the episode of robin having covid and going to the hospital was quite entertaining. She had no oxygen, never spoke of her 02 sats and wasnt kept, yet she was deteriorating as far as cody and her kids go. Hilarious to see the fakeness when we all know now what she really would have looked like and what would have happened if she was as bad as she acted like she was. Pathetic woman
Yeah I was hospitalized twice and kept for a week each time. Robyn is just a big fat baby like joey lol. She was probably hoping for a break and wanted to panic her kids who were worried Robyn would "take a turn for the worse". Robyn is one of the worst parents I've ever seen lmao. No wonder Dayton is desperate to get away from her. Us autistics see way more than people assume we do lol.
Robyn said she didn't want to buy a house but she refused to settle for anything realistic - each of her 5 kids had to have their own bedroom and she wouldn't change school districts. Her unwillingness to compromise on a rental doesn't really jibe with "I didn't want to buy a house."
Robyn GREATLY benefited from day one of coming into the family. Kody ALWAYS preferred her and worked his butt off to make her happy. She was the new shiny toy he got to have and he felt like she was a trophy wife and made him look good. So from Robyn's perspective, being in the family was great for her and all of the other wives were expected, and told by Kody, to cater to Robyn's needs. So it is possible she had Rose colored glasses on. It's also possible that she never ever considered anyone else's perspective and didn't give much thought to anyone else about how they might have been feeling. Plus the kids were always circling around all of the adults and the kids LOVED being together with everybody and they graciously took Robyn's kids into the fold, which was wonderful for her. So from Robyn's perspective, I do think it's very possible she always felt like the family was a big dream that made her happy..... until she didn't do enough to foster the relationships with everybody else and they were all done with catering to her every need. We see Robyn doing all these special things for and with Meri, but when did we ever see Robyn doing special things for Christine or Janelle?
You are so right! I feel like it’s probably true that Robyn doesn’t get what everyone else is feeling, but only because she never cared enough to try to understand anyone’s feelings except her own (and her childrens to an extent, but we’ve seen her even manipulate them). In the end, it’s all about Robyn.
Robyn made me so mad in this episode with all her crap; we need to pick up the torch for Kody, we are still a family Meri (though you only talk to your husband once every two weeks and you haven't had a relationship with him in 7years, here's Kody's jacket to keep you warm. I really don't understand Robyn. She has no relationship with any of her sisterwives except Meri and only one kid from her sisterwives.
I've been watching since Season 1. The dynamic changed immediately when he and Robyn got married. When he divorced Meri, Janelle and Christine were stunned and flummoxed. What got me, and maybe it was TLC's rules, but no one questioned his logic for why he was marrying Robyn.
Robyn: I want the perfect rental with 7 bedrooms for every person in house. Oh there’s none available to rent? Oh I guess then we have to buy. Oh I guess if I have to I’ll buy. God just didn’t give me a rental.”
I thought it was weird that as cold as it was outside, Robyn refused to invite Meri in to talk on 18/1. Robyn really seems afraid to allow filming in any part of her home except outside. It’s really strange....
Robyn trying to get Meri to carry the torch for Kody was wrong on so many levels. Robyn is the head wife, legal wife, and in their religion she's the one that is supposed to get the other women on board. The relationships were Rocky, but Robyn knew, and she demanded 100% attention from him. Robyn knew that the wives gone she doesn't have no money. She's very manipulative.
Seeing how the "COVID Chronicles" played out with Kody and Robyn, I absolutely believe that she wanted to buy that million dollar house all along. They were playing everyone with that saga....because you sure don't see Robyn mention Coyote Pass anymore, do ya? Yeah. Complete LARP for the audience AND the 3 wives. "Oh no, Kody, please don't force me to buy this luxurious million dollar property, nestled in the trees, far away from the rest of the family....and far ritzier than my single-wide trailer in Utah...." said no Robyn ever! Also, this episode, far more than any other in the previous 17 seasons, felt very scripted. Especially the conversation between Robyn and Meri. But even the dialog between Janelle and Christine while they were assembling that shelf felt very scripted. And none of them are particularly good "actors." Nevertheless, I'm so looking forward to seeing Janelle become the "Janelle-inator!" No mercy for Kody.👊
Robyn wants Mary to stay for 2 reasons. 1. Money. She doesn't want to get a real job. 2. She knows if Kody goes to get new wives, they're going to be younger and prettier than she is.
Yeah, but I have a theory about why he fell in lust with Robyn and became kitty-whipped. I'm pretty sure her "best customer" was given a key to the "back entrance" of her shop... or her sister wives closet! 😂😂😂 So, pretty sure she could still hold her own against younger wives
I think we need to remember that the family had issues but what family doesn't even in monogamy. When Kody was counting Robyn he abandoned his family inclusion a pregnant Christine every weekend. When Robyn moved to Utah she said that because she wasn't a wife yet, she did not feel it was appropriate to move into the Lehi house so she got a house down the block but then demanded that Kody spend every 4th night with her. Equal to the other wives. Then she lied about the dress. She kissed a married man as his wife was in labor (a no no for them). She made it about herself when Christine spoke about how this hurt her. Robyn hired nannies rather than allowing the sister wives to parent her children. Robyn brought in no income but a lot of debt and mouths to feed. She demanded Kody not be away from her house for more than 2 days. She compakined about Hubter not being extactic about her pregnancy with Solomon. She complained to Kody about Christine not being a good sister wife (otherwise why would he say this) Robyn complained to Kody about Garrisok calling her and asking for her to give them their father back, causing the major rift between Kody and his boys. Not allowing Meri to spend time with them during Covid even though Kody was fine with it. Looking back at the start of Covid she appeared more afraid than Kody so I suspect these were her rules that she manipulated Kody into thinking they were his because it helped him have an excuse to neglect his responsibilities as father and husband. I can go on. Robyn was in fact the catalyst that broke this family up IMO. You just need to look back and see past the editing and their talking points. What kind of person kicks a family dog?
Meri was so cold and instead of inviting her in they sit out in the cold. Why and to top it she brings out kodys coat for her. I have noticed she never lets anyone in her house.
I think deep down she knows that she's a huge reason, not the only reason, for all of the wives leaving. I think she's trying to play stupid so when Meri does finally leave she won't get so much blame from Kody. She sees how angry Kody is and that he's blaming everything on everyone else, as if he had no part in the demise of three of his marriages.
Robyn is not the brightest, but your wife is right. She is lying, acting, pretending. If Robyn wanted this family for honorable reasons, she would have treated them better. She is performing AGAIN (not very well) to make herself look like a caring person. Here Meri, help me with Kody. I'm so worried about him. Let's have a common goal that Kody will thank me for later. She's trying to pull Meri in to keep her in the family for $ despite how she has been treated.
That's my take as well. When people have manipulative role models, they often behave the same way without an awareness that it's not the only way to get what you want or need. Robyn's not very smart, so she keeps pulling out the same rusty tools instead of developing new ones.
I’m so sick of hearing Kody’s whining. If what we have seen in the last couple of seasons is him thinking that he’s doing his very best, then he has absolutely no self awareness. And I’m sick of Robyn’s crying. I’m not sure whether she’s clueless and doesn’t know how she affects other people. Or whether she’s as manipulative as Kody. She cries because she does not get to sit on the porch with her sister wives and grandchildren. But she has not done anything to nurture any of the relationships that could lead them in that direction. How was that suppose to happen then?!
IDK when he became this level narcissist. I do wonder if him being secluded with Robin intensifies his behavior. Robin seems like a covert narcissist. He is mirroring his behavior.
Only thing I want to address is you thinking Robyn didn't know...not. She's a liar. Even her ex's family the jessops predicted she would go through this family and break them up cause that's what she does!! And now here we are Robyn with her best customer ! Lol
I think Robyn really, really wanted that house, too, but acted as though she didn't. She seems more cognizant of how she comes across to us, the viewer, and wants to present herself in a positive light. So she consistently speaks as though she's doing the right thing, but consistently neglects to actually do it? Robyn's insistence upon each of her children having their own bedroom...5 bedrooms..made it impossible to find a rental in a limited market, but I agree that Kody really, really wanted that house for himself. I remember while watching that episode, saying out loud to myself, "He wants that house for himself." In that area it was a mansion that befitted the god (little g) that he thinks he is.❤
We have to remember Robyn was looking for a 5+ bedroom house. Rather than take a smaller house, Robyn in part had to buy Because she needed a mcmansion to live in.
Robyn had to buy the house because she wouldn't put two of her kids into one room and her most practical measure to not buy that house was to pray because God was going to provide a 7bed rental. Kody did say they'd be able to find a 5 bed rental but if she needed 7 they were going to have to buy. He was right for once.
I thought it was kind of boring for a season premiere. But I loved it when Christine was smiling at how angry people are. She's so happy to be out of that mess.
I would love to see Robyn in any of the other wives marriages with Kody and “take one for the team”, “carry the torch”. She would be out of their so fast. She didn’t see it coming because her marriage wasn’t suffering because of Kody’s neglect.
Robyn is very in tune with everyone’s emotions. She uses her knowledge of the other person’s feelings to manipulate them, while at the same time dressing it up as support and friendship.
Robyn and Cody want Mary to stay because they need her income! She’s a high level LulaRoe rep that makes quite a bit of money from it. They need both Mary’s and Janelle’s income to pool together to fund their life.
The most cringy part was Meri talking about the Turkey and Kody signing up for liking everyone’s turkey. My FAVORITE part was Christine saying her reactions were “terrible today” then she says “I’m so sorry, I’m not married to him anymore it’s so freaking awesome” I busted up laughing!
People said he’s going to try and get Janell and her money to come back as long as she knows the new changes she has to comply with/Janell would be a fool to go back to being used and abusy😮
If all the wives leave, then Robyn is the only wife. Therefore, Robyn can’t be a favorite if she’s an “only.” It’s fun being the favorite and having a never ending honeymoon and easy to treat Kody as the “best customer” when he’s got three other wives to gripe about. Now, if kody is in a mood, she will be the only one kody can take it out on. I don’t think Robyn ever wanted to be the only wife, just the favorite wife.
Robyn knew Kody had a pregnant wife while he was off courting her when she lived hours away. What did she think Christine was doing when she was home alone with all the kids, 9 months pregnant? What did she think Christine was doing when they were on their 11 day honeymoon, Meri and Janelle were working, and Christine was looking after 16 children, only 6 weeks after giving birth? If Robyn didnt comprehend this, maybe she is like a nursing assistant I supervised, who couldnt comprehend that when she didnt bother to come to work,,somebody else had to do her job. I figured out that when she wasnt there, in her mind, the place didnt exist. It was like she never developed the concept of object permanence that most people get before they are one year old. Maybe Robyn is so stupid she didnt realize the other wives and children continue to exist when she is absent.
maybe there is a new psychological state similar to Jim Carrey's character in The Cable Guy. A child grows up so immersed in television that TV becomes his reality. Cognitively, you know that the characters you come to know and love in long-running sitcoms cease to exist when the actors leave the stage set. Maybe Robyn thinks people cease to exist when out of her sight, because that is her frame of reference. Reportedly she pursued Kody when she heard the family was thinking about doing a TV show, and she wanted to be in it. Nicole Kidman played a character in To Die For, who wanted desperately to be on TV. That was her validation. You aren't a real person unless you're on TV, and you cease to exist when the cameras are turned off. Is it possible there are people out there who watched too much TV as children and as a result, don't really get object permanence?
Meri - I’m freezing! Robyn - Let me lecture you about why you should be wearing a jacket, not invite you inside, not offer you a warm cup of coffee/tea, force you to sit in the cold on a concrete bench, give you the jacket of the man I stole from you that you are still clearly pining over (because you definitely can’t fit into one of my jackets), while emotionally manipulating you with fake hugs and then tell you why I expect YOU to make more effort. Argh she is the literal worst. 🤮
Does anyone else think its weird that Robyn went and got Meri a coat instead of just inviting her inside? Also Robyn explaining to Meri the kind of person Kody is and why things are tough for him is just painful to sit through - like she does remember that Mehri is the OG right? Idk, Meri has driven me crazy in some episodes, but I do feel for her sometimes in these sidebars. Sometimes I feel like Robyn just keeps clawing open old wounds to keep her around. If she was a real friend I agree she would validate Meri’s feelings instead of always invalidating her. Christine cracked me up in this episode but she does look so much happier.
loved it when Kody told Christine what she was thinking "you didnt mean it that way." Yeah she did, but Kody still believes he can tell her what to think
The best part of the whole episode is when Kody is complaining about everything in the restaurant and they cut to Christine laughing about how great it is to not be with him. 😂
💯💯💯🤣🤣
LOL, she literally had tears of joy! That was definitely the best part of this episode 🤣🤣.
OMG, that was awesome 👍 Living well is the best revenge 😂
Exactly!! I'm 61 and have a pulmonary lung disease (not related to smoking) had covid at 60, it was like a bad flu, never did I feel like I was going to die, he is a man baby.
The BEST part of the whole show! Oh, I was so happy for her in that moment. 😂
I don't believe Kody forced her to buy a house, her requirements for a rental home were unrealistic forcing her to buy, it was an excuse to play dumb/innocent, Robyn is more intelligent and far more manipulative than she presents.
Exactly. Each kid HAD to have their own room. Good luck finding a 6+bedroom rental. She knew what she was doing.
Agree
Exactly!! That was part of her manipulation.
I agree. It wasn't that there was nothing to rent, it was that they had to have an enormous house in a specific area. Not like Janelle who never expected that her children have their own room. The difference is like night and day.
Agree agree AGREE
How tone deaf is Robyn to complain about not getting what she wants to Meri who hasn’t had what she wanted for years and years.
Exactly!
IK! And Meri seems not to get that🤔
She is so self absorbed she can’t see anyone else’s pain. It’s all about what she has “lost “.
@Sarcasm4Fun Hey girl! Agreed!
THIS is the reason people don't like Robyn. The lack of empathy and compassion for anyone other than herself and Kody.
Does anyone else notice how pop psych and his wife look at each other with respect and love while they talk with each other? It’s pretty impressive and sweet
Agree! 💯
I agree
We learned that Robyn’s agenda this season is to make it seem she was blindsided by all the problems in the family; more victim mentality.
It’s not working! 😂
More pretend ignorance
100 percent!
Sobbing Robyn has been a so called victim from day one. Keep sobbing Robyn and Mary just stop already.
Exactly
I loved how Christine couldn't stop giggling at Kody
Me too😇😇😇
It's like that when you get out and get some perspective. Love that for her!!! And confusing as hell for poor Kodster.
That was great 😂
She now sees him as the joke of a man he is.
That's Great and I Love it ...💕. 🙃😉
Robyn said she didn’t want to buy a house, but she rejected every single rental on the market. At least 8 houses. She was manipulating the situation .
Meri’s money used for Robyn’s house but has to sit outside for talk. What is going on in that house that she won’t let people in?
I thought the exact same. Let’s freeze our butts outside instead of going in the huge house the family bought me. Oh and I don’t know why the family doesn’t want to spend the holidays freezing outside, oh and I didn’t even invite them over.
So was Janelle and Christine’s. They paid Christine’s back, so she could by her house.
COVID 2023
Apparently they do not want camera crews inside their home....they keep the kitchen tidy but the rest is full of wall to wall crap.
Maybe she's autistic like her son. There is a genetic component to autism
Robyn didn’t want to buy that house, but she wouldn’t compromise to take a smaller rental with fewer bedrooms.
She put up a good show saying she didn’t want to buy the house but in reality it was the only one that meant all of her boxes checked it had to have more than one room. I mean any of her kids to share a room she didn’t want any of her kids to sacrifice anything but she wasn’t willing to downsize so in reality. Yes, she wanted his house.
One thing that’s not mentioned on the show is I believe Robyn has guardianship of a niece or something so I getting needing a lot of bedrooms (although many of her kids are old enough to be living on their own) but the house is still extravagant and unnecessary. Could’ve had the space with something more affordable.
Honestly, I feel like Robyn had given sooooooooo much crap to Christine, and spoke sooooooo much crap about Christine, for buying her house and delaying the building on coyote pass that she had to pretend that she hated the idea soooooooooo much to save face when she ended up buying. I just watched that season and Robyn was so insensitive to Christine every time she said she felt buying was selfish.

Every comment is squarely directed at Christine for her buying her house outright.
I do think also that Christine was planning to leave Kody before ever leaving Vegas and her owning her own house and building equity in it was part of her long term plan. She was pretty smart about it. I think she made the right move.
And went from a 500K home that she could've bought it to a 900K mansion. Yeah right, she didn't want to buy a house
Janelle don't be my voice to our kids. Don't call my sons to have the conversation.
Robyn is trying to keep Meri there because Robyn wants her $$$ contribution and credit rating. All of Robyn's family and friends report she has a spending addiction. Why does she not meet with Meri in her house?? I suspect she doesn't want the viewers to see how she spends the family money. Robyn is manipulative 100%!!!
I know, right!? Meri was shivering and the (rhymes with witch) would not let her in the house.
I saw a still shot last night and there was a pile of newspapers by the front door and I saw boxes behind her on the side of the hallway. I really do believe she’s a hoarder of the over shopping kind.
Exactly! Mary earns a lot of money with her lulu row. She earns far more than Robinson and Cody. It’s financial.
Kody has a spending addiiction too
@laurieerickson7205 wouldn't it be crazy if she was forced to move out of that big house. I would love to hear they were losing the house because all the wives left with their money. If she is a shopaholic I love that most of the money is gone and Kody might have to deal with the wife that spends the most.
Christine and Janelle do have more of a spouse relationship than Kody has with either of them.
Also, Kody driving a sports car says all you need to know about that selfish jerk.
I saw that as well!!
He always had. What a Dad, he should be driving a bus.
I saw it too, an older Lexus, probably even leased. He has to keep up appearences.
@@lbarmstrong1 gives me the ick
I noticed that too!
Robyn wanted to buy the house, she just wanted to pretend that she was being forced into it. Her acting on that was very bad and over the top.
Just finished watching the episode. Robyn just sees all in the family as accessories in her dream, not as equal humans with their own lives and feelings. She is completely self-centered with no self-awareness.
💯💯
They should have never left Vegas.
Hard to believe Kody was “dumb” enough to marry her without a pre-nup.
Oooh completely agree. They’re tools for her.
Robyn doesn’t want to lose the financial benefit of having the wives stay. Meri makes the most money in this family.
Exactly. This was all financial for Robyn.
Mari spent over 20 years getting a ridiculous size of the family income. She spent a lot of money herself. She also went to school for social work and wasn’t able to use it. Her only income is the bnb. Which is only profitable because of the sacrifices the other two og wives made so Mari wouldn’t feel bad about only having one bio kid.
@@tracim3080Meri has been one of the top Lu La Roe sellers for many many years, she probably makes more than all of them. She did that even before she got the B&B and still does.
@@tracim3080 it's Meri with an "e," and I only care because using English properly is important plus I don't understand how the many people spelling it "Mari" don't see how off that is! ANYWAY MERI allegedly or apparently made $$$ from hideous LuLaRoe (pronounced "ROW" NOT "ROO" as tons mis-pronounce it).
@@ParadoxicaLeo730 it’s makes no difference. That’s you being pompous. There is thousands of types of English there is no actual one fits all rules for the language. High society made up a bunch throughout history as a way to cause bridges between the classes. So by harping on about proper English you really are just being an ass.
You know who we are talking about so stay off your high horse.
Robyn absolutely wanted to buy that house. They were playing (Good cop Bad cop) so Robyn would not be blamed for that overly extravagant purchase with the family money
Thank you for your comments about it being the parents’ responsibility to have a relationship with their children. My daughter has no contact with her dad - she lives hours away and has driven to see only to have him cancel when she got to his town. In her mind he chose his new family. We aren’t polygamist either.
So sorry for your daughter. Correct, Rody is completely wrong. (He can pro-create but he can’t parent properly.)Tragic.
Why doesn't Robyn allow people into that house she didn't want?
It's probably a hot mess and she also doesn't want anyone to know how much money she's been blowing through that are Meri, Janelle, and Christine's incomes.
Nice. 👏👏👏👍. 🙃😉💕
It delighted me to see Christine laughing and giddy that she's no longer married to him....just THE BEST!
I also gain so much JOY when Christine is like "everybody's so angry" 😂🤔😂 Like, hmmm sounds like I was just a regular person with reasonable emotions reacting to this nonsense like any sane person would! It has to be so vindicating for her. ❤
Kody gives conditional love. Kody wants unconditional love. He wants what he does not give.
Robyn SAID she didn't want to buy that house, but that was just for the cameras. She wanted it, but didn't want everyone thinking she wanted this huge house. So they made it look like KOdy forced her to get it. The same way Robyn didn't want to move to Flagstaff...sure Robyn ;)
Indulge me here… My hot take on Robyn is she liked being Cody’s favorite. She enjoys the polygamist lifestyle when she feels like it’s a competition and she’s winning. She’s freaking out because the prize of Cody is not at all what she wants on her own! It’s only fun when it’s a competition… anyone?!?
I love this take.
Agreed. She wants to be the favorite wife and she needs other wives around for that to happen.
Agreed! My daughter and I binged this show this weekend and sobyn makes me sick. Mari is pathetic. Picking up the torch? Is something Kotex would say, she’s vomiting what he says . My opinion
I agree!
I agree 100%! She's never wanted wanted to be the only wife. She wanted to be the FAVORITE wife. She's pissed she's losing that position.
It’s Robyn’s new victim narrative. “I’ve been duped, they all came together to trick me and my kids.” It would be laughable if it weren’t so insidious.
💯
Just because Cody wanted that house and Robin says she didn't we all know that's a lie she wanted that house she just didn't want to seem greedy
Yes she wanted that house. She needed a 5 bedroom house as I remember, so there was nothing to rent. So she acts like she’s forced to buy a beautiful 5 bedroom house.
@@annjohnson6193 right?
She is a piece of work….. what a manipulator, sly like a fox
Kody wanted Janelle to buy Christine's house so they could use it as an income property and rent it out. Notice he isn't telling Robyn she needs to move out of that big house and turn it into a rental. Robyn is FOS
@@abeal49 Anal retentive.
Robyn is lying, she don't want to see Meri money walk out the door. She wants to keep shopping without having to work. The OG wives brought in a lot of money for Robyn to spend, she over played her hand.
Exactly
Agree
All I could think about the conversation between Robyn and Meri was that Robyn was intentionally, slyly playing dumb. She knows how people talk about her and blame her for being a family wrecker. She knows she's the one who's had Kody to herself since they moved or even before. Prior to Christine leaving she knew EVERYTHING about Kody and the family, and would push her way forward to answer all the questions as "spokesperson" for them all, but NOW she knows NOTHING? Hahahaaa... and why couldn't she invite Meri into her house when Meri forgot her coat and was freezing? What's in Robyn's home that she won't let anyone see? I thought they paid her for being on this show, yet, the only place they can film is her ugly front bench? Also, after the "tell all" at the end of S. 17, Robyn was righteously ANGRY. Oh she gets it. She's not dumb, she's mega, ultra selfish.
Maybe that was Meri being manipulative by "forgettimg her coat" to see if Robyn would invite her in. And the cameras would catch it all... 😂 I hope so!
Did I miss something? What?!
But Robyn also can’t figure out how to do her eyebrows so they look even remotely normal so maybe she is that dumb? 🤷♀️ I’m so distracted when she’s talking I can barely concentrate on what she is saying. 😆
I totally agree. Robyn has a spending addiction! She run through a lot of the family’s money. Kody thinks she loves HIM. LOL… Robyn loves the $$$$$$
Robyn is manipulating… she is emotionally manipulative…
Remember? She’s an empath! 😂😂
Yes she is!
Christine not gloating, but instead showing what happiness looks like was awesome to see
Janelle asked Cody to call them. He acted like that was an insane idea
And she's not allowed to "speak for" anyone. Like how does he think this is gonna happen then, telepathically??
EXACTLY 💯
The two of y’all giggling at the end “everybody’s angry right?!” You two are hilarious. I watched it twice & was laughing with you
Robyn is the coworker that you don't share your concerns or personal issues with because EVERYTHING you share with them gets shared with the boss (Kody) and not in a positive light. They shared with her what the family needed to function but nothing personal.
Kidney 'shared' his version of the fam business with Sob-n-Rob-em.
💯
Alison makes these reviews the best!!!
Kody & Robyn need Meri’s 6 figure salary to pay for the mansion in the hill
She wants meri to stay because meri brought in alot of money to the family. Meri was one of the wives who made the most money in the whole family. Kody and Robyn were very aware of that fact which is probably why he strung her along for so long.
Wonder who does the books/taxes now. Janelle always did that
Sobin Robyn is a master manipulator. She knows exactly what she is doing. She has always wanted to be the head wife and loves that she influences Kody and indirectly gets him to do whatever she wants him to do. Also, why do they never film inside Robyn's house? Bottom line, Robyn gets what Robyn wants! Love your commentary with you and your wife, you two are great together!
@conniecat77!! Exactly, and if she never gets involved with the other wives marriages, then why in ever scene, that's all she talks about!! She NEVER talks about her and Kody's issues!! She is sooooo FOS!!!
They can't go in the house because it is a freaking mess that she doesn't feel like cleaning...
5:59 - my face when my husband makes a good point and I admit it. So glad you do these together, I enjoy your healthy interactions as much as the analysis of the show.
What got me was when Kody insisted on the Covid testing when Truely and Ysabel come down at Christmas, but there was no mention of Christine having done a test before the lunch. Kody has broken the distancing restrictions by meeting Christine for lunch. He only throws out the restrictions and testing when he wants to throw up barriers. I noticed that when Kody and Robyn meet with Mykelti and Tony last season as well.
Excellent point!
Spot on
He really don’t want to see those kids/he wants all the kids at his house to show out on them some of Janell boys are big and strong enough to beat his butt if he starts picking up logs and waving them at their heads 😂
Robyn comes off as a woman who likes to compete with other women, gets off on being Queen B with the other Sister Wives. She is upset about the other women choosing themselves n their children, now she no longer has anyone to compete with.
BINGO
Compete with or lord over 🤷♀️
Meri's turkey story is priceless. I loved hearing her true belly laugh. Like Christine, she has found the humour in her past with Kody. Christine would love that story. Meri and Christine have more in common than either of them think they have.
I was thinking about this, too. I remember Christine saying Meri was not a safe person and it made me wonder if Meri did something to betray her. Maybe because she is close to Robyn, so everything gets back to her? I wonder if they communicated now about everything that has happened, if they could be friends.
Meri has thrown a lot of shade at Christine
Come on guys, you are being way too kind about Meri & Robyn & btw, why the hell is Meri still frigging sitting outside in the cold when she follows their rules? Oh yeah Robyn really, really wants the family to reconnect. Give me a break. I mean seriously, what a joke!
because of the camera crew
That’s what I think. Robyn doesn’t even have the decency to invite her in. Maybe because she is a hoarder or because Kody did not want to see Meri.
@@Heytheir good grief.
@@Heytheirat first I thought yeah you’re probably right, but after thinking about it, the camera crew would all definitely be tested. There’s no way Kody would be around them filming if they weren’t.
I love the fact that Christine is "giddy" every time she speaks in this episode. It's so great to see her happy. And you two did a great job; I thought most of it was boring too.
He's right, the relationship between christine and kody was messed up prior to covid. Robyn alienated kody and monopolized all his time and made it worse.
I think that Robyn’s courtship is what drove the wedge deep. I feel like the family was in a good place until Robyn put that “good good” on Kody and he fell in lust. I mean I’m glad they have a good sex life, but their relationship ruined this family.
@@HeartofInspiration right and Christine was pregnant he went on a honeymoon right after the baby was born I can’t imagine the emotional damage
Honestly, I think they had problems before the show even. I think Christine talked about how Kody wouldn’t help with her kids when they were younger while she worked nights. I can only imagine how much worse that got after Robyn!
When Kodie asked Merry for a divorce so that he could marry Robyn and adopt Robyn's children is when Merry started feeling left out. That would hurt anyone.
My favourite part was Christine’s shining beautiful smile seeing how happy she is and her laughing at Kody 😂
Okay, I'm confused Doc! If you've watched the back seasons, you'll notice that Robyn is the only wife that doesn't work outside the home. Meri is the last one contributing to the "Family Fund". Now, I do think that the other wives stopped believing for various reasons. Robyn never wanted monogamy. She knows that living with Kody one on one is horrible. But she brought this on herself. She never tried to be a part of this family. I wanted all the perks and none of the work!
Exactly!!!
Not only doesn’t Robyn work, she doesn’t even look after her own children, she’s got a nanny for that. Which has given her more time to go shopping and spend the other wives money.
Robyn wants Meri to stay for her money. She loves the money.
When u asked your wife in the beginning if Robyn was dense or a good liar. I really think that she feels like she had part in the family falling apart and if Meri tells her it’s been there, then she doesn’t have to hold so much guilt, and accountability. It’s like she’s begging Meri to tell her what she wants to hear.
Reqatching the episode of robin having covid and going to the hospital was quite entertaining. She had no oxygen, never spoke of her 02 sats and wasnt kept, yet she was deteriorating as far as cody and her kids go. Hilarious to see the fakeness when we all know now what she really would have looked like and what would have happened if she was as bad as she acted like she was. Pathetic woman
Yeah I was hospitalized twice and kept for a week each time. Robyn is just a big fat baby like joey lol. She was probably hoping for a break and wanted to panic her kids who were worried Robyn would "take a turn for the worse".
Robyn is one of the worst parents I've ever seen lmao. No wonder Dayton is desperate to get away from her. Us autistics see way more than people assume we do lol.
* kody
not joey lol
Robyn said she didn't want to buy a house but she refused to settle for anything realistic - each of her 5 kids had to have their own bedroom and she wouldn't change school districts. Her unwillingness to compromise on a rental doesn't really jibe with "I didn't want to buy a house."
Robyn now is trying to present to the world that she was tricked in to a family that lied to her. She knew what she was getting in to
I appreciate the Adam Carolla bit of “Stupid or Liar” 😂 love the Ace Man!
Yes!!
That's the best part. Christine's is saying, "Everyone is angry", and then smiles. LOL , BYE
Robyn GREATLY benefited from day one of coming into the family. Kody ALWAYS preferred her and worked his butt off to make her happy. She was the new shiny toy he got to have and he felt like she was a trophy wife and made him look good. So from Robyn's perspective, being in the family was great for her and all of the other wives were expected, and told by Kody, to cater to Robyn's needs. So it is possible she had Rose colored glasses on.
It's also possible that she never ever considered anyone else's perspective and didn't give much thought to anyone else about how they might have been feeling.
Plus the kids were always circling around all of the adults and the kids LOVED being together with everybody and they graciously took Robyn's kids into the fold, which was wonderful for her. So from Robyn's perspective, I do think it's very possible she always felt like the family was a big dream that made her happy..... until she didn't do enough to foster the relationships with everybody else and they were all done with catering to her every need.
We see Robyn doing all these special things for and with Meri, but when did we ever see Robyn doing special things for Christine or Janelle?
You are so right! I feel like it’s probably true that Robyn doesn’t get what everyone else is feeling, but only because she never cared enough to try to understand anyone’s feelings except her own (and her childrens to an extent, but we’ve seen her even manipulate them). In the end, it’s all about Robyn.
Robyn made me so mad in this episode with all her crap; we need to pick up the torch for Kody, we are still a family Meri (though you only talk to your husband once every two weeks and you haven't had a relationship with him in 7years, here's Kody's jacket to keep you warm. I really don't understand Robyn. She has no relationship with any of her sisterwives except Meri and only one kid from her sisterwives.
And really, Robyn and Meri haven’t seemed to be close in years either. 😬
Christine is killing me 🤣
My ONE hope for Season 18 was that someone would talk to Robyn about those eyebrows.
I've been watching since Season 1. The dynamic changed immediately when he and Robyn got married. When he divorced Meri, Janelle and Christine were stunned and flummoxed. What got me, and maybe it was TLC's rules, but no one questioned his logic for why he was marrying Robyn.
I LOVE SINGLE CHRISTINE!!!! Oh how I laughed. So good to see her happy and free from all the of the garbage with Kody.
Robyn: I want the perfect rental with 7 bedrooms for every person in house. Oh there’s none available to rent? Oh I guess then we have to buy. Oh I guess if I have to I’ll buy. God just didn’t give me a rental.”
I thought it was weird that as cold as it was outside, Robyn refused to invite Meri in to talk on 18/1. Robyn really seems afraid to allow filming in any part of her home except outside. It’s really strange....
Robyn trying to get Meri to carry the torch for Kody was wrong on so many levels. Robyn is the head wife, legal wife, and in their religion she's the one that is supposed to get the other women on board.
The relationships were Rocky, but Robyn knew, and she demanded 100% attention from him.
Robyn knew that the wives gone she doesn't have no money. She's very manipulative.
I love Christine. I love that she is happy and her reaction to things. I was laughing with her.
Seeing how the "COVID Chronicles" played out with Kody and Robyn, I absolutely believe that she wanted to buy that million dollar house all along. They were playing everyone with that saga....because you sure don't see Robyn mention Coyote Pass anymore, do ya? Yeah. Complete LARP for the audience AND the 3 wives. "Oh no, Kody, please don't force me to buy this luxurious million dollar property, nestled in the trees, far away from the rest of the family....and far ritzier than my single-wide trailer in Utah...." said no Robyn ever!
Also, this episode, far more than any other in the previous 17 seasons, felt very scripted. Especially the conversation between Robyn and Meri. But even the dialog between Janelle and Christine while they were assembling that shelf felt very scripted. And none of them are particularly good "actors." Nevertheless, I'm so looking forward to seeing Janelle become the "Janelle-inator!" No mercy for Kody.👊
Love this! J_________!
Robyn wants Mary to stay for 2 reasons. 1. Money. She doesn't want to get a real job. 2. She knows if Kody goes to get new wives, they're going to be younger and prettier than she is.
Yeah, but I have a theory about why he fell in lust with Robyn and became kitty-whipped. I'm pretty sure her "best customer" was given a key to the "back entrance" of her shop... or her sister wives closet! 😂😂😂 So, pretty sure she could still hold her own against younger wives
Robyn doesn't want to be the only wife..... she wants to be the favorite wife.
@@Thors_momSpot on! 🎯🎯🎯
I think we need to remember that the family had issues but what family doesn't even in monogamy. When Kody was counting Robyn he abandoned his family inclusion a pregnant Christine every weekend. When Robyn moved to Utah she said that because she wasn't a wife yet, she did not feel it was appropriate to move into the Lehi house so she got a house down the block but then demanded that Kody spend every 4th night with her. Equal to the other wives. Then she lied about the dress. She kissed a married man as his wife was in labor (a no no for them). She made it about herself when Christine spoke about how this hurt her. Robyn hired nannies rather than allowing the sister wives to parent her children. Robyn brought in no income but a lot of debt and mouths to feed. She demanded Kody not be away from her house for more than 2 days. She compakined about Hubter not being extactic about her pregnancy with Solomon. She complained to Kody about Christine not being a good sister wife (otherwise why would he say this) Robyn complained to Kody about Garrisok calling her and asking for her to give them their father back, causing the major rift between Kody and his boys. Not allowing Meri to spend time with them during Covid even though Kody was fine with it. Looking back at the start of Covid she appeared more afraid than Kody so I suspect these were her rules that she manipulated Kody into thinking they were his because it helped him have an excuse to neglect his responsibilities as father and husband. I can go on. Robyn was in fact the catalyst that broke this family up IMO. You just need to look back and see past the editing and their talking points. What kind of person kicks a family dog?
Meri was so cold and instead of inviting her in they sit out in the cold. Why and to top it she brings out kodys coat for her. I have noticed she never lets anyone in her house.
I think deep down she knows that she's a huge reason, not the only reason, for all of the wives leaving. I think she's trying to play stupid so when Meri does finally leave she won't get so much blame from Kody. She sees how angry Kody is and that he's blaming everything on everyone else, as if he had no part in the demise of three of his marriages.
Robyn is not the brightest, but your wife is right. She is lying, acting, pretending. If Robyn wanted this family for honorable reasons, she would have treated them better. She is performing AGAIN (not very well) to make herself look like a caring person. Here Meri, help me with Kody. I'm so worried about him. Let's have a common goal that Kody will thank me for later. She's trying to pull Meri in to keep her in the family for $ despite how she has been treated.
That's my take as well. When people have manipulative role models, they often behave the same way without an awareness that it's not the only way to get what you want or need. Robyn's not very smart, so she keeps pulling out the same rusty tools instead of developing new ones.
I’m so sick of hearing Kody’s whining. If what we have seen in the last couple of seasons is him thinking that he’s doing his very best, then he has absolutely no self awareness.
And I’m sick of Robyn’s crying. I’m not sure whether she’s clueless and doesn’t know how she affects other people. Or whether she’s as manipulative as Kody. She cries because she does not get to sit on the porch with her sister wives and grandchildren. But she has not done anything to nurture any of the relationships that could lead them in that direction. How was that suppose to happen then?!
IDK when he became this level narcissist. I do wonder if him being secluded with Robin intensifies his behavior. Robin seems like a covert narcissist. He is mirroring his behavior.
Could watch the two of you banter back and forth 👏👏👏👏👏
Only thing I want to address is you thinking Robyn didn't know...not. She's a liar. Even her ex's family the jessops predicted she would go through this family and break them up cause that's what she does!! And now here we are Robyn with her best customer ! Lol
They were correct about Robyn destroying families.
Kody got by with an asset grab. He thought because Meri put up with no relationship or respect… they ALL would and he and Robyn would be Super Rich
Yes it was on rocky ground the moment Robyn demanded wife. night before she was a wife
I literally replayed you and your wife laughing with Christine over and over
I think Robyn really, really wanted that house, too, but acted as though she didn't. She seems more cognizant of how she comes across to us, the viewer, and wants to present herself in a positive light. So she consistently speaks as though she's doing the right thing, but consistently neglects to actually do it?
Robyn's insistence upon each of her children having their own bedroom...5 bedrooms..made it impossible to find a rental in a limited market, but I agree that Kody really, really wanted that house for himself. I remember while watching that episode, saying out loud to myself, "He wants that house for himself." In that area it was a mansion that befitted the god (little g) that he thinks he is.❤
Robyn pretended to not want to buy the house 🤪 if you look back and put it all together, R&K had a plan to get everything in K&R name .
All i hear from Kody is "poor me, poor me and poor me."
This was so fun to watch. Your dynamic and chemistry is amazing. Subscribed!
Grody is a monster, Snobbin is a lying Succubus and the Queen of manipulating Grody like a fiddle. Meri is tragic.
You two give the best commentary of Sister Wives of anyone I watch.
We have to remember Robyn was looking for a 5+ bedroom house. Rather than take a smaller house, Robyn in part had to buy Because she needed a mcmansion to live in.
It is weird how She has so higher demands than the others
@@lindalund9621 not weird:) she is a selfish, hoarding anxiety ridden entitled liar :)
The outro with your wife is adorable. I'd love to see more of you bantering and laughing together
Robyn had to buy the house because she wouldn't put two of her kids into one room and her most practical measure to not buy that house was to pray because God was going to provide a 7bed rental. Kody did say they'd be able to find a 5 bed rental but if she needed 7 they were going to have to buy. He was right for once.
I agree with you.
I thought it was kind of boring for a season premiere.
But I loved it when Christine was smiling at how angry people are. She's so happy to be out of that mess.
I would love to see Robyn in any of the other wives marriages with Kody and “take one for the team”, “carry the torch”. She would be out of their so fast. She didn’t see it coming because her marriage wasn’t suffering because of Kody’s neglect.
Robyn is very in tune with everyone’s emotions. She uses her knowledge of the other person’s feelings to manipulate them, while at the same time dressing it up as support and friendship.
Robyn wants Meri to stay because of the money!
3:20... YES, it is absolutely the parents responsibility to nurture your relationship with your child even when they become an adult.
Robyn and Cody want Mary to stay because they need her income! She’s a high level LulaRoe rep that makes quite a bit of money from it. They need both Mary’s and Janelle’s income to pool together to fund their life.
The most cringy part was Meri talking about the Turkey and Kody signing up for liking everyone’s turkey. My FAVORITE part was Christine saying her reactions were “terrible today” then she says “I’m so sorry, I’m not married to him anymore it’s so freaking awesome” I busted up laughing!
Robin wants the family so she has money from the TV show. Kody only angry because he fears losing the tv show. Let’s talk about that
People said he’s going to try and get Janell and her money to come back as long as she knows the new changes she has to comply with/Janell would be a fool to go back to being used and abusy😮
I started watching your channel bc I enjoyed your commentary.
BUT, I love seeing you and your wife.
She is amazing!!!
If all the wives leave, then Robyn is the only wife. Therefore, Robyn can’t be a favorite if she’s an “only.” It’s fun being the favorite and having a never ending honeymoon and easy to treat Kody as the “best customer” when he’s got three other wives to gripe about. Now, if kody is in a mood, she will be the only one kody can take it out on. I don’t think Robyn ever wanted to be the only wife, just the favorite wife.
Exactly
Its great that you have your wife on these too for the different perspective. I really enjoy waiting the two of you give your opinions on this show.
Robyn knew Kody had a pregnant wife while he was off courting her when she lived hours away. What did she think Christine was doing when she was home alone with all the kids, 9 months pregnant? What did she think Christine was doing when they were on their 11 day honeymoon, Meri and Janelle were working, and Christine was looking after 16 children, only 6 weeks after giving birth?
If Robyn didnt comprehend this, maybe she is like a nursing assistant I supervised, who couldnt comprehend that when she didnt bother to come to work,,somebody else had to do her job. I figured out that when she wasnt there, in her mind, the place didnt exist. It was like she never developed the concept of object permanence that most people get before they are one year old.
Maybe Robyn is so stupid she didnt realize the other wives and children continue to exist when she is absent.
Very interesting theory
maybe there is a new psychological state similar to Jim Carrey's character in The Cable Guy.
A child grows up so immersed in television that TV becomes his reality.
Cognitively, you know that the characters you come to know and love in long-running sitcoms cease to exist when the actors leave the stage set. Maybe Robyn thinks people cease to exist when out of her sight, because that is her frame of reference.
Reportedly she pursued Kody when she heard the family was thinking about doing a TV show, and she wanted to be in it. Nicole Kidman played a character in To Die For, who wanted desperately to be on TV. That was her validation. You aren't a real person unless you're on TV, and you cease to exist when the cameras are turned off.
Is it possible there are people out there who watched too much TV as children and as a result, don't really get object permanence?
Meri - I’m freezing! Robyn - Let me lecture you about why you should be wearing a jacket, not invite you inside, not offer you a warm cup of coffee/tea, force you to sit in the cold on a concrete bench, give you the jacket of the man I stole from you that you are still clearly pining over (because you definitely can’t fit into one of my jackets), while emotionally manipulating you with fake hugs and then tell you why I expect YOU to make more effort. Argh she is the literal worst. 🤮
Does anyone else think its weird that Robyn went and got Meri a coat instead of just inviting her inside? Also Robyn explaining to Meri the kind of person Kody is and why things are tough for him is just painful to sit through - like she does remember that Mehri is the OG right? Idk, Meri has driven me crazy in some episodes, but I do feel for her sometimes in these sidebars. Sometimes I feel like Robyn just keeps clawing open old wounds to keep her around. If she was a real friend I agree she would validate Meri’s feelings instead of always invalidating her. Christine cracked me up in this episode but she does look so much happier.
“I think she’s not a liar… I think it’s the other one” oh my gosh that made me laugh so hard 😂 I enjoy you guys so much 😅
Robyn likes to put on an act. She is such an manipulator.She wants Meri to stay for the $$$ Meri had given them her money.
loved it when Kody told Christine what she was thinking "you didnt mean it that way."
Yeah she did, but Kody still believes he can tell her what to think
He said “you’re mean that way”
