I don’t think I remember hearing about a past with Meri and Janelle. What happened? Meri and Kody were married and decided to bring in a sister wife. Janelle was married to Meri's brother, but they got divorced and Janelle married Kody. Janelle was jealous of Meri and Kody's relationship, then Janelle had the first kid, so Meri was jealous. I haven't seen this show in ages but used to love it!

Yes. They covered it last season. It was so uncomfortable and awesome. Was she having an emotional affair? I think it started that way. But it turned out the man she was talking to was a woman. The woman then started blackmailing her. I guess Meri legit thought her house was bugged at one point. The goal seemed to be to isolate Meri and get her to leave Kody.

The word “catfish” needs to be stricken from the Browns’ vocabulary. Zomg, overused!

I think Janelle's mom was married to Kody's dad (?) Too, or someone else in the family. They are intermingled somehow

Infertility sucks so hard in any circumstances but my heart aches for young Meri in a lifestyle that places such a high priority on reproducing. I’d think it would really be a hit to your self worth😕

Maybe I'm remembering that wrong. Christine isn't always honest with herself, IMO but I do think she is the most supportive sister wife. I think Robyn is a close second.

I think Meri was hoping to even up the “wife teams” but Robyn was just too nice to really take a side in anything. And Christine was the sister wife version of the baby of the family losing that title to a late in life, “oops” baby. She wanted to be the cute, fertile one.

I don’t know... I need to think on this one. The four of them were married before the first child was born (Logan, via Janelle). It’s not as though Christine came in years and years after the others.
Christine was very vocal about wanting the family, not just the husband. She wanted to be third because she didn’t want to just marry a husband, she didn’t want to be second because she didn’t want to be a wedge between the husband and first wife. She wanted to be third because it was easiest. She also grew up in this life and had time to think over whar place she wanted. She was reaaaaally into sister wives and wanted them more anything.
I think what comes across as “baby” is honestly just niavete. But, maybe my interpretation is off.
Maybe I spent too much time watching older episodes this week. Lol.

The pilot is such a different family. Kody truly loved all his wives and they all liked each other. I don’t see that anymore among them. Moving out of that one house, I think, really broke something.

Definitely. There’s a big difference between their interactions after the move. I don’t know if it was caused by the actual moving into different houses or the stress of feeling like they had to flee bc of their marriages. I really want to like this family. They seem to put their kids first and they’re pretty open about their feelings. To me they are the endearing kind of weird.

I just watched the episode. 400 person wedding? How can they afford so many of them! It'll be interesting to see how McKelty and Tony's marriage works. She seems like a strong woman who doesn't fit into traditional gender roles and he seems to want traditional gender roles. Even the wives mentioned that.
I started following Meri on IG this morning. She seems to have a nice relationship with Mariah and her girlfriend, Audrey.

They never came off as all liking each other to me. Jenelle and Meri never. Jenelle and Meri are a mess - yes. But things felt less awkward to me. Maybe they all just seemed genuinely happier in general and they at least threw some in each other’s directions. I did question if “like” was the correct word there - lol.
