Who here still watches Sister Wives?

This season is just confessionals, no events. It’s so boring.

The eye roll here is unmerited. The real answer is that Leon didn't want to be on the show and so he's simply not. What the relationship is like between Meri and Leon is really no longer any of our business, if it ever was any of our business.

DP, I've seen Leon on tiktok...he's insufferable. His deep emotions are gag worthy. Not to mention he's always half naked showing off his chest surgery.

I think COVID gave them privacy for the first time in a decade. I think Christine leaving caused real and intense friction and drama between the families and I think the rift with the boys is huge. Additionally the older kids have slowly been coming of age and choosing to go private and showing the rest of the family that that is available to them.

As a result I think EVERYONE has gotten really boundary happy with filming. And that isn't a terrible thing or anything necessarily, but I think its clear that their lives aren't being filmed anymore, but rather they are telling a story of what is happening through confessionals/staged meetings/conversations.

I think the reason it is still interesting and compelling is that many of us have watched this family for more than 10 years. And seeing it fall apart, a lot of us can read between the lines of what's been happening because we were SO intimately in their lives for so long. And a lot of leaking out of those confessionals if you've been around since the beginning. The tight control they appear to be trying to exercise while still cashing TLC checks is in opposition to the seismic shifts happening in their relationship and that really is coming across. So its less bombastic but if you want to just actually know whats going on I still find it really compelling. Watching the house crumble has not been SATISFYING but fascinating for sure and I'm very happy for the wives.

I think going public is what led to this, but it also gave these women options they never would have had otherwise. It gave them a path to financial independence and freedom.

It seems more and more clear that Kody just has no self awareness.

He seems to have decided at some point that he just didn't want plural marriage any more, but he didn't bother to tell his wives straight out, he's just rejecting them one by one.

Perhaps because he dragged them on a show called Sister Wives and then changed his mind about whether having Sister Wives was even a good plan.

He seems more and more clueless and intentionally cruel as time goes on, but I don't think he's intentionally cruel, just really bad at being a mature adult and rising above his basest instincts.

I wonder if another problem in the Sister Wives world of polygamy is that, since men are deemed to be inherent leaders and knowledge keepers he simply never learned to look at himself and examine his motives and actions. Especially in a divorce, that seems key.

Everyone likes to blame Robin, but she was just doing the same things the other wives did: ask for more time with Kody. Kody was the one who had the moral obligation to make sure things were fair and he simply didn't care to.

Kody wants the image of plural marriage but not the work associated with it. He has zero self awareness in how poorly he treats others, especially his children. He is actively cutting out his own children in favor of robin and her kids. He didn't go to Isabelle's surgery for Christ sake, but managed his way to his friends wedding. Robin is intentionally meddling in the kid's dynamics. They were trying to arrange a gift swap and she busted her way into the conversation and ruined it and then sits and complains they aren't going to do it. She is a piece of work and then acts all doe eyed and surprised no one likes her.

At the beginning of the season, he made some kind of comment about the non-relationships with Janelle's boys being on him also, as the dad. On last night's episode he said Christmas was the way it was because Janelle and Christine had denied him having relationships with his children. He's changing his narrative, though that's probably his delusional reality, in order to save face and be the victim of all these wives he's rejected. Poor Savanah didn't even get a Christmas text or call. It's fascinating and sad to witness, at the same time.

I hope he watched this episode and realized what a total jerk he was being to Savannah.

It's bizarre to me that Savannah and Meri weren't invited when Mykelti, Truly and Isabel did Christmas with him. Why did he not make it a family event? Meri seemed really hurt that she wasn't included, especially after she'd talked about wanting a family Christmas. He's either oblivious or cruel. I'm starting to think it may be the latter

Yes! If you’re family, your door is open for the holidays. Meri is unproblematic (to the family) since catfishing and as Christine said was the one who befriended Robyn when the other wives didn’t. I’m not her biggest fan but Meri should have been included in all the holiday stuff.

Christine has never really dated or had a proper wedding. Is anyone concerned she remarried too quickly? Like did she fall for the first guy who gave her attention or what?

[Anonymous]

It does seem like she found her husband pretty fast but part of it is that the Sister Wives season is almost two years off from reality. She’s just starting to feel ready to date on the show.

Her new husband was a widow, and his wife died over 10 years ago. I think they’re more likely to succeed because he wasn’t also fresh off a divorce, looking for a rebound.

They have been apart for more than two years. The show is still showing things from 2021.

Yes, but she left around November 2021. It’s not even been 2 years now. In that short time she recovered from her divorce, found and married someone else?

It seemed fast to me, too, but it seems like her "marriage" to Kody died or was dying long before she actually left.

Yes I agree with this. She never really had a day to day partner or marriage situation in the first place. I would think there would still be a lot to unpack, all the why's of the situation, but she never really had a husband. Cody fathered some kids and was a giant man baby but not really a husband.

Christine needs therapy.
