    When Robyn said she didn’t want Kody to say anything about the two of them picking her wedding dress, she’s saying she happy with lying to ALL the wives. At that point, I would have called her out, because she’s very dishonest!!

      That’s what I thought. She tells on herself all the time. But I’ve noticed;to be in polygamy they had to teach lying right away. It’s normal to them. This way of life is so abnormal that each of them are in survival mode all the time. It’s, gotta get mine before they get theirs. and do whatever it takes to get there.

    Say it loud and clear. Robyn exposed herself when she told the other wives "who's with me or against me needs to let me know now" She exposed herself and her intent to put herself on the thrown. Kody is a fool to allow her to have the power. What happens in the dark will always come into the light in the end. His pride will be his downfall.

    James one fact you skipped over is Robyn's blatant cruelty. When she told Meri to "Hold on with me" knowing that relationship was long over is borderline abusive. Robyn is openly taking financial advantage of Meri and the Tell All lie she concocted that Kody would have taken Meri back but for Christine is twisted on many levels. Robyn's actions are disturbing when you add everything up. Now a pet peeve of mine is someone who instead of listening to what another person is saying their busy thinking about what they want to say next. Robyn seems to do this on a regular basis n it drives me up the wall. Alright if you happen to read this great job on the recaps and I regularly look forward to your videos. Half of them are mini TED Talks and I'm always happy to learn something new.

      @@highjinx6519 Completely agree, the way she throws Christine under the bus, then her getting up and running behind Robyn… I seriously wanted to grab Meri, shake her and say girl this is YOUR CIRCUS, THESE ARE YOUR MONKEYS, pull your head out! Meri was the wife who ultimately gave the go ahead for Kody to marry another woman. They always talk about how a new wife is not allowed unless the wife or wives give the go ahead. Technically, this is Meri’s family. At first I will say that she screwed up when she gave Robyn the official title as Kody’s wife, however now that I see what the outcome of this shit show has become, Meri giving Robyn the legitimate marriage was the smartest move she made. If Kody had divorced Meri he would’ve been able to possibly gain half of her assets and that would include her B&B, something he didn’t put a dime into and actually made fun of her for purchasing.
      Now that I think about it Kody seemed to enjoy setting his wives up to fail… he did it with Meri, gave her hope of owning the B&B, then left her to defend herself against the other wives, then he did the same thing with Christine, got her hopes up about moving back to Utah, then knowing how the other wives would shoot her down, he encouraged her to talk about it and he thought it was funny. She was honestly heartbroken, thinking that she had the support of the one person who was supposed to be there for her, but again he found despicable humor in her pain. Kody Brown is a disgusting human being, and his pathetic attempts to place blame on women who’s only mistake was trusting and loving him is just GROSS!!!! Kody is a pig! 🐷

  • @karenholmes6565
    @karenholmes6565 Год назад +56

    Here is the downside for Robyn. She doesn't just own half of Kody's assets as his wife, she owns his liabilities as well. So if Janelle has been keeping receipts (which I am sure she has) and she can show that Kody and she had an oral contract (and I am thinking that 17 seasons of showing them pooling resources to support the family shows they had oral contracts) Janelle may be entitled to at least a quarter of the assets that have Kody's name on them, since Christine has already come to her own understanding when leaving the family. Technically speaking, Robyn's house is also something that can have a lien put on it for Janelle to get her money back. And that lien would exist even if Kody and Robyn divorced.

    so I want to add that when Meri was bringing Robin into the family I believe it was because Meri wanted to push Christine and Janelle out thinking it would put her back at 1st wife and fix her marriage with Kodi. But this backfired on her because once Kodi got Robin he didn't want any of the others. I think Robin is so good at gaslighting and manipulating Kodi's other marriages.

    Indeed, Kody IS the problem! His ego is so oversized, he thinks he’s going to be a god with his multiple wives. He did not care one bit that Christine and Janelle did not want Robyn in the family, as realistically, she brought debt and no assets. Kody wanted fresh meat, and Robyn saw opportunity.

    There's a wonderful scene in the movie Sense and Sensibility (with Emma Thompson). At the beginning of the movie, a rich, dying man tells his son that he will inherit everything (as was the custom at the time) but he must take care of his sisters and his step mother. The son begins to discuss absent mindedly, with his own wife, his intentions to provide his step mother and sisters with a very comfortable amount of money plus doweries. His wife chides him for being too generous, and over the course of a few days, she systematically manipulates him to the point of him declaring "he has decided" the only thing he will give them is a pittance to live on. He subjects his 3 sisters and his step mother to abject poverty all at the urging of his wife, leaving them with nearly no opportunity to improve their situation, or escape it though marriage (because no dowries). His wife then blesses him with praise at how wise he is and that he is fulfilling his duty, all the while having pulled the strings to the outcome she desired.
    That's the Robin/Kody dynamic.

    This is the first time I've disagreed with your take. Robyn doesn't want to be the shot caller, she IS the shot caller. She wants to preserve that. Kody has (or had) 3 other wives, none of which were as good as Robyn in his mind. If she and Kody were to scout out other wives she runs the risk of Kody obtaining a younger, more preferable, child bearing wife. There was another season years ago when they were all on the interview couch and they were asked about Kody getting another wife. Robyn literally said she'd strangle him. I think she likes being the most recent, and has the most power in that position.

    • @mytakeonreality
      @mytakeonreality  Год назад +34

      I can see that, however, her relationship with Kody rises and falls by relativity. she is an "ideal wife," when compared to Meri, Janelle, and Christine. Losing these women forces her to stand alone and deal directly with Kody without distraction. Not to mention losing the other wives they could lose the show and the income that comes with it. Robyn isn't trying to lose a nickel and I don't think her "love" for Kody is that deep, so she would be willing to let him find other wives, because she has her escape plan in place if he steps out of line. With all that, I do agree that the plan isn't well thought out and as you mention a younger, "prettier," wife could steal Kody's time attention, and spending habits. Ultimately, she finally has everything she wants and it could very well lead to her downfall.

    Excellent points! Rewatching early episodes, it looks like Robyn's manipulation was maybe also rewarded with positive reinforcement by well-meaning sister wives. In the beginning, they were struggling financially and time-wise but all seemed to make allowances when another wife said, "I NEED this." Short on time and money but Christine is stressed about police, or Meri is struggling, they each get a mini vacation because "I need this" and everyone accommodates. And then Robyn uses the hell out of that line. Disproportionate wedding? "I need this." Unfair honeymoon? "I need this." First one to get a house in Vegas? "I need this" and so on..."I need this" was respected in their family culture but she completely abused it.

    You are right. Kody is to blame because he fell for it. That said, we now know that Robyn set out to work this family. She left Montana, left her husband of 10 years & set out to be 4th wife. She contacted Meri through the Polygamy Community Network and worked them. Robyn's worst fear was POVERTY. Kody got that phrase from Robyn. She had huge debt. Yes. she fancied herself an actor. She worked them all. Meri was used and thrown away, long before catfish.
    No, I can't agree. Yes, Kody was weak and it was just too easy. Kody has changed A LOT since he merged his identity with Nasty, Trashy Robyn.

    You nailed it. I do think all of this happened much more quickly than Robyn anticipated or wanted. She has encouraged to meri to stay because she poses absolutely no threat in any way and contributes financially. She wanted Christine gone for sure and was willing to sacrifice the income that Christine brought in but I don't think she realized that Janelle would follow so quickly because now they have very little financial support, especially if Meri really has left. I do think they will look for otherwise to keep the show going and keep the drama going and Robin might actually be a believer. She's quick to spill the rhetoric and she had a real problem with the kids being in any other religion so she actually could be a believer. But even if she's not she wants more wives to keep the show and to generate more income but I think you're correct that she will be large and in charge of everything.

    Agree 💯 Kody is such an active partner in Robyn’s manipulation. He would know she is manipulative and he is one of her pawns. His selfish nature compliments his ego, both dominating his behaviors and communication with his family. Robyn knows how to steer him. However the depth of her manipulation is just plain evil. She is not playing to satisfy her ego, she is playing to gain financially off the backs of the other wives and kids. Even her kids! The things she has said to them to make them remain victims is disgusting. It is difficult to offer grace to these types of people who knowingly steal and manipulate.

    I really like your clear headed take on the situation. I don’t know why all the women commentators do not call it like this. Sister wives long ago appeared to be going the way of survivor. Really glad to hear an in depth, very clear headed account. Kody is very naive about what Robin’s motives have always been. Kody has become a bound and neutered man; he knows he has lost his power, but he is misguided by Robin on how he lost his power in his plural family. His other wives see Kody is blind to Robins manipulation, but they are gradually deciding they don’t have to allow themselves and their children to be manipulated and ruled over by Robin. His biological children no longer even respect him. No woman that really loves her husband would separate him from His children. Robin is no new type of woman, it is good to see a man that will and can clearly call out what is going on. Good job!
