Sister Wives

[bethbuchall]

Mine cut it off, too. Or they didn't actually show the announcement. I tried to search and didn't come up with anything, so I wonder if it was a cliff hanger.

She didn't make one.. Kody made an announcement about Robyn having to make an announcement and then Robyn said she had to go because she heard her phone ringing And then at the very end they interviewed Robyn and she said something like "Sometimes you just have to answer the phone" and that was it. Lame.

Anyone get the feeling that the other plural family (maybe episode before this last episode) shares a bed? Very odd.

Yep, I got the impression that they did.

I feel that consenting adults can have sex with whomever they choose. Not my choice, but to each his own. Until I read this:

I am not a "slippery slope" person, but that article is scary... If I truly believe consenting adults can have sex with whomever they choose, do I agree with incest? My gut reaction would be no!

Thank you for the reply! What a lame ending! I hope that wasn't the season finale?

I haven't read through all of these posts, but have watched sister wives from the beginning. It makes me sick how Meri gets everything she wants. I'm sorry , but she doesn't need that big house for just her. It was her decision to not have more children. They have all of those kids to put through college and she is being so selfish. She needs to get a job and support her child and step children. She looks at it as Jenell will foot the bill. I feel like she's always abused Jenell. Meri is all about Meri and that's all that matters. Meri and Robyn team up and it's sickening. Jenell gets a pat on the head and no affection. Robyn is clearly the trophy wife. Their situation is such a train wreck. Their own kids even see it.

It wasn't Meri's decision to not have more children. They have tried, they just haven't been able to.

Well, there were decisions she (sort of) was involved in regarding pursuing in vitro and Robyn's offer to be a surrogate.

I still think Meri wanted to try one of those options until Cody cut her off and said they should put it off (which is the same as a no). That episode really left me cold.

But I also still think she has not behaved in a true sister wife fashion. She's acting like she's done with child rearing now and just pops in to visit the other moms and kids much as a single aunt would.

I started catching up on some of the more recent episodes that I had missed. I do business lending and their whole pitch for venture capital was sort of silly. They have millions of hits on their site in one month and only have 500 orders! That's a huge red flag. Obviously they have an issue with their products. What they are selling is so geared toward their way of life that they have limited their actual market demographic to basically just other polygamists. Unless they do some big overhaul of their product line I can't see this venture making it long term.

I also thought that Mari going off to college but saying to Robin that she'd be involved and still help was unrealistic. I think the business is all Robin's idea and everyone went along with it to humor her. She seems to be the only one fully invested in the enterprise.

Yep, major miscalculation expecting that the celebrity factor generated by the show would translate into sales. Bottom line - nobody wants this stuff and it's unlikely anybody ever will. Marketing isn't the problem; as you point out there's an absurd amount of traffic to that website. Heck, we've all checked it out, haven't we? Anybody buy anything? They've also worked expos and placed product on consignment in local stores - nada. It was a vanity project (mostly Robin's) plain and simple. No sane venture capitalist anywhere would give them a dime. The family would have more income potential I'm sure if they flogged Janelle's "food storage systems", whatever those might be.

Their prices are outrageous, so I'm totally not surprised by that.

Robin continues to get under my skin. I cannot believe she was angry that Meri wanted to go back to school. Unbelievable!

Exactly, why would I want to buy a necklace or a ring that symbolizes sister wives. I do not have a sister wife, no one does, that is why they are on tv.

Anyone watch the Tell All special? Robyn didn't look pregnant and for once she was sitting next to Kody. It was great to see the kids.

Yes, please fill me in. We moved last weekend and the cable hadn't been hooked up yet. I'm dying to know what prompted Christine to walk off the set.

Yes, I was actually watching (well kind of dozing off) when Christine walked off the set. What was that all about?

It was because she thought there was going to be a question about the individual relationships and they had all requested that that not be talked about. Apparently there is quite a bit if jealousy amongst the wives and Christine thought Robin was going to be questioned about her relationship with Kody. Not the sex side, but the 'datey' one on one side and she wanted none of it.

That's actually not entirely correct. Prior to filming the host/producers had asked the other wives to leave so they could talk to Robyn and Kody about them trying to have another baby. Christine decided she wasn't okay with it and after her and Robyn talked she said that she wouldn't answer any questions about them trying to conceive.

They're baa-aaack!

 

[crazee4mickey]

Still not liking Robyn at all....she is in a plural marriage yet everything seems to always be all about her and her feelings...ugh!

I honestly do not think it will be long before we see Meri gone, she just doesn't seem happy and going back to school will open up so much more in friendship/relationship possibilities.
