Not being a polygamist always heard that if a marriage is in trouble the solution isn’t to have a new baby… Meri’s difficult time deciding to have another baby has to do with knowing she would be totally on her own, Kody will not be involved at all.
Their last name starts with B he was going to be one of the first names called. Robyn should have been there on time then left immediately after he walked. She could have even helped the other moms and taken a few of the younger kids home with her.
Yep- imagine if one of the others did what Robyn pulled?!! I totally get why Christine feels like weeping for her younger self. I can only imagine how these things build resentment over the years.
IMO it wasn’t Robyn’s plan to even go to Logan’s graduation. But Meri needed her to bring the camera so that threw a wrench in Robyn’s plan. That’s why she was so mad when she got there. Drove around and missed the darned thing. Lol where was that nanny/cousin/sister of hers?
Mitch's sister is part of the Allredge family on SSW. They were only on there in the early seasons. I'm glad he and Aspyn have stayed monogamous. So Janelle gets 6 kids ready and is on time. Kody and Robyn are getting one baby ready and he's too busy to communicate timing with the rest of the family??? Brilliant!
Just had my third miscarriage this week. The absolute exploitation of Meri's fertility journey by Robyn and TLC is disgusting. But as a rational and decent adult, Meri is being selfish and weaponizing her infertility to take from the others. Which is also disgusting.
Meri wound up paying for the extras herself. Also, all of the houses had to be approx. the same size in that Development. I think Meri was crying because she was reminded that she could only have the one child.
Merry should have moved into a smaller place with cheaper rent so that they could then put that money into her house. The fact that she had a gigantic rental and was getting extras for her house is what made it ridiculous Especially when Janel is contributing the bulk of the money
If they can afford that big of a house, then meri can get one too. If they are trying to say they won't have enough money they should all downsize. Those were huge homes. Now the extras were crossing the line
Like this: Wait...seasons 17 & 18 already looked like that, didn't they. But your point is excellent and something I had never considered. Not a good "pitcher" in my mind.
And here when something that might actually call for years robyn makes a face and LAUGHS about missing logan graduate. I wonder if she wasn’t going to go at all and stay home and “miss it” but meri asking for her camera forced to her have to actually leave the house
In those earlier episodes, Robyn looooves telling strangers “My husband has 4 wives.” In this particular episode it was “I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they go home to talk to their husbands.” She wore her polygamy status as a badge of honor. Lmao 🤣 she wanted the title not the lifestyle.
Note to Meri: they sell many many furniture items that you can use for additional counter space while entertaining. They are a lot cheaper than adding multiple rooms to a house.
Meri homes have always been the big meeting or guest or holidays being it was CLEAN and she loves to entertain they used Meri for that purpose she had a nice big CLEAN place to bring "others" to How many time did visitors or such Meet at Robyn's NEVER
Meri for half of their marriage made way less money than Janelle, and she contributed less, it's only fair eventually she contributed more. Yet she didn't she got more for her own home saved the rest to pay for her own child college
Why did she bring Sol? None of the younger OG13 were at the graduation. I think she just brought him as a way to get Kody's attention away from Logan and his big day. Janelle didn't miss Logan because of her camera. She missed him because she was pissed and couldn't see straight.
I have 2 sons. I was alone all week when they were toddlers. Janelle- I don’t know how you missed it. They all in line. Alphabet order. They call a name over loud speaker. He walks. Shakes hands. Everyone claps. You can’t really miss it. This whole family sux. If my kids dad missed this- I I don’t even know why …. How…. It makes no sense.
Depends who you are with. If you are with a bunch of attention whores they spend their time at every event trying to get your attention. 15 seconds and you missed what you are there for. I swear they do it on purpose 🤬
Janelle was working in the office and getting paid for that. Outside of selling homes. At this point Janelle was the only one with income outside of the TLC show and MLM. She was def the highest bread winner at this point in the show
Thank goodness all high school conferences are 10 minutes long, done virtually and they only recommend if the student is getting a c or less in that class.
The family worked for the MLM company LIV international. Meri hosted the sales parties that why the bigger living, entertaining area with bar. For the business
It actually doesn’t matter if she took on the debt or not. The credit card company could care less for the debt they were both on. How many men have a Victoria secret card? But why several years later and 2 years into being in the Brown family is this not paid off? Was there more debt? If she paid nothing and owed 32K from debt from 2009 and before. A bit would be interest. She divorced that year and sealed to Browns in 2010. She physically split in 2007 but she could have kept adding to the debt during that time. Why do they build such huge homes? Janelle’s house had 4 bedrooms. It was modest size. They each ended up in 4040ft2. Graduations have tickets. Tickets have location date and time on them. Mapquest was invented by then. The bigger kids went to the graduation. None of the little kids went. Why didn’t Sol stay home? Meri was being first wife to Kody which was nice to see. “ her choice to be late. You have to be here.” I always thought it weird his monologue how all the four moms invested in getting Logan there and the shade against Janelle that Christine raised Logan. Janelle mothered the kids too.
I think they were thinking about both of them, but Mary decided not to do the in vitro, and she decided not to do the surrogacy so then they decided to have the baby Solomon
Girl, high five for the Broadway shows. I’ve seen many but Phantom will always be the dearest to my heart. I’ve gotten to see it 3 times, twice in NC. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius!
i think meri paid for those extras herself since she wanted them and didnt want to take from the family money and at the time she was still married to kody and assumed she would be hosting most of the family events at her house and didnt one of kids having a issue with a certain mom go live when meri for a little while? she had two rooms made up for kids so they could come over and play and stay the night. its not like the extra room wasnt going to be used. and yes those other wives pointed out that she had less kids and you would cry too if someone picked on you about your weaknesses. Also you can tell when he stopped having relations with each wife by whether or not they had cold sores on their mouth because Meri started looking healthier when it stopped which was in vegas and christine and janelle when they went to where they live now. i didnt notice that until my husband pointed out the favored wives had sores on their mouth.
A quick thought about Meri and the wet bar. Meri only has one child amd not great relationships with Janelle or Christine. She says she needs to wet bar for the older kids and to host family gatherings. Maybe she worries that without the space in her house to host people and make it a "fun" house she will be pushed out. We know from the current season Kody has given up on their relationship and this might have also been a sign for the other wives to stop making the effort.
It’s weird how people always forget that meri was the legal wife, and janelle, christine are concubines they were with a married man, janelle divorced meri brother to be married with kody, all these women were spewed with jealousy but people wanna come for meri I find that weird, she was the first wife and the most screwed out of all the women. I said what I said. As for janelle she to need be held accountable for marrying meri husband , christine, they need to understand why meri didn’t not like them. I get that they were in a cult but since they now left they need to have some empathy but they lack that empathy and it’s annoying to watch.
I find the whole wet bar situation incredibly triggering because of my Mother issues. She would always indulge herself at the expense of her family because she felt she was more deserving. It made me really see Meri’s true colours and all this “family” waffle became incredibly transparent. There are other moments I could mention, but this and the whole renting a huge house with a pool from the family money is where the tide turned for me when it came to Meri. She’s incredibly manipulative and and seems to always put her needs above anybody else’s. And her weaponising her infertility was just awful to watch. If she hadn’t behaved this way, she would have been a fan favourite, because I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t feel empathy for her fertility issues and struggles.
Yes! I always felt that when Meri met Robyn, she instantly recognized a kindred spirit. Someone who was as controlling & self-centered as she was. BUT Robyn took that to a whole new level....when you add her terrible lying, manipulation problem. I think Meri's more of a straight shooter?❤❤❤
You were never late with an infant? You never loaded your baby into the car seat only to have them have a massive blowout poopy diaper requiring a complete change of clothes and clean up of the car seat itself? Lucky.
Have t I already seen this one? Or am I having a senior moment? Lol
No, this is a repeat.
Yes. I accidentally posted it two weeks earlier than I should have. Then I pulled it and reposted on the correct day
Same here, twilight zone
@RancherNikki don't do that, lol made me feel crazy
I love watching it twice, but glad the deja vu isn’t just in my head.
Kody could have had an office at Mary's house with her 5 bedrooms.
Not being a polygamist always heard that if a marriage is in trouble the solution isn’t to have a new baby… Meri’s difficult time deciding to have another baby has to do with knowing she would be totally on her own, Kody will not be involved at all.
Their last name starts with B he was going to be one of the first names called. Robyn should have been there on time then left immediately after he walked. She could have even helped the other moms and taken a few of the younger kids home with her.
Yep- imagine if one of the others did what Robyn pulled?!! I totally get why Christine feels like weeping for her younger self. I can only imagine how these things build resentment over the years.
When you were acting out Robyn I laughed so much. Sister wives is like watching the three stooges!
IMO it wasn’t Robyn’s plan to even go to Logan’s graduation. But Meri needed her to bring the camera so that threw a wrench in Robyn’s plan. That’s why she was so mad when she got there. Drove around and missed the darned thing. Lol where was that nanny/cousin/sister of hers?
lol John: “I must have missed the season we were on the show.”
Right here in this moment, Robyn sealed her fate in Logan’s life.
No wonder Logan has nothing to do with his father and Robyn.
This is one of those episodes that really shows how shy Robyn always was.
Mitch's sister is part of the Allredge family on SSW. They were only on there in the early seasons. I'm glad he and Aspyn have stayed monogamous. So Janelle gets 6 kids ready and is on time. Kody and Robyn are getting one baby ready and he's too busy to communicate timing with the rest of the family??? Brilliant!

I'm very sorry to hear it sending you some love ❤❤❤❤❤ yes it's awful how to this day, they exploit her infertility both ways
I'm so sorry. What a terrible loss. Hugs.
Sending you hugs from someone who understands.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sending you love and strength 💕💕💕💕
NIKKI!!!! PLEASE find the bonus scenes from season 18, really interesting. And Sisterwives Closet closed down officially beginning of this month.😮
Meri wound up paying for the extras herself. Also, all of the houses had to be approx. the same size in that Development.

Especially when Janel is contributing the bulk of the money
😂😂😂good one John, keep up the zingers😂😂😂😂
John is the best 😊
And Robin drives by the stadium while saying she cannot find the stadium
If they can afford that big of a house, then meri can get one too. If they are trying to say they won't have enough money they should all downsize. Those were huge homes. Now the extras were crossing the line
Imagine if Robyn had actually been a surrogate for Meri...what would seasons 17 & 18 look like?
Like this: Wait...seasons 17 & 18 already looked like that, didn't they. But your point is excellent and something I had never considered. Not a good "pitcher" in my mind.
Robyn is such a schemer.
This is where I understand Kodys angst with Meri. She would constantly change her mind or stall on decisions. That would be super annoying I think.
And here when something that might actually call for years robyn makes a face and LAUGHS about missing logan graduate. I wonder if she wasn’t going to go at all and stay home and “miss it” but meri asking for her camera forced to her have to actually leave the house
I"m like John, I don't kerr, I just watch it again lol
I feel like I saw this video but I don't have patron and I just walked in from 9 a.m. I'm so confused! Lol
In those earlier episodes, Robyn looooves telling strangers “My husband has 4 wives.” In this particular episode it was “I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they go home to talk to their husbands.” She wore her polygamy status as a badge of honor. Lmao 🤣 she wanted the title not the lifestyle.

The wet bar situation made Meri into a villain in my mind. Watching this is a good reminder, because I was starting to feel bad for season 18 Meri.
I’m so glad y’all do this. Can y’all use pass SW clips to help with the story line?
Unfortunately I’ll get a copyright strike is if I use too many clips and there’s no guidance as to how much is too much.
Love the Harper Ferry Shirt-yes I am a west virginian :)
I definitely saw this....twilight zone!lol
Nikki! Starlight express was THE BOMB! I loved that show.
In the Old season Meri and Rodyn were very bossy & opinionated and cried all the time to get what they wanted with kody or the family.
Meri for half of their marriage made way less money than Janelle, and she contributed less, it's only fair eventually she contributed more. Yet she didn't she got more for her own home saved the rest to pay for her own child college
You guys are hilarious
Why did she bring Sol? None of the younger OG13 were at the graduation. I think she just brought him as a way to get Kody's attention away from Logan and his big day. Janelle didn't miss Logan because of her camera. She missed him because she was pissed and couldn't see straight.
John looks like he is being tortured. haha. Poor guy
y’all are the best part of my day ❤
I have 2 sons. I was alone all week when they were toddlers. Janelle- I don’t know how you missed it. They all in line. Alphabet order. They call a name over loud speaker. He walks. Shakes hands.

Kody just terrible. He should have been at least gettign ready at Janelle house with the graduatte. Smh. Just horrible.
I also had an Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtrack and was really into Les Mis and Phantom!!!!
I wish nikki and john were on the show so you could tell off robyn and kody😂
I’d pick Niki to do the tell all interviews.
Janelle was working in the office and getting paid for that. Outside of selling homes. At this point Janelle was the only one with income outside of the TLC show and MLM. She was def the highest bread winner at this point in the show
What was in your house.omg too funny
I can’t wait till you get to Season 6 episode 6 !!
I am 100% behind John's theory about Kody and Meri and fertility. Wouldn't it be tragic if Meri was never actually infertile at all?
I have a question…. Why didn’t your French class go to France?
Thank goodness all high school conferences are 10 minutes long, done virtually and they only recommend if the student is getting a c or less in that class.
I have seen this. 😮
Notice in Tell All Robyn Janelle and Christine all made up and waring earrings, so what was the big hubba in season 18
The family worked for the MLM company LIV international. Meri hosted the sales parties that why the bigger living, entertaining area with bar. For the business
Great review! 🧡

Janelle worked at H&R Block

What is the shirt John is wearing? Looks awesome and I want one!
John is awesome 😊

Kody had a chance to wet his pencil at Meri's wet bar 😮😊😅😂
Surrogate years later after she breastfeeds forever and gets her body back.
It’s weird how people always forget that meri was the legal wife, and janelle, christine are concubines they were with a married man, janelle divorced meri brother to be married with kody, all these women were spewed with jealousy but people wanna come for meri I find that weird, she was the first wife and the most screwed out of all the women.

I get that they were in a cult but since they now left they need to have some empathy but they lack that empathy and it’s annoying to watch.
Did you reload the episode that you accidentally posted early??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 still have you the view
Meri always got more money by crying.
I find the whole wet bar situation incredibly triggering because of my Mother issues. She would always indulge herself at the expense of her family because she felt she was more deserving. It made me really see Meri’s true colours and all this “family” waffle became incredibly transparent.

👏
Sorry John it was just tic for Janelle job until she did reality. But u are the funniest dude!
What was Janelles job?
You were never late with an infant? You never loaded your baby into the car seat only to have them have a massive blowout poopy diaper requiring a complete change of clothes and clean up of the car seat itself? Lucky.
This didn’t happen to Robyn. She planned to be late. That’s the issue.
Rewatch is on point guys, thank you!
