Sister Wives S17E2 Is there a Favorite Wife? Recap Review Reaction 

I am soooo sorry it is so ridiculously long. No one needs to listen to me for 40 minutes. I’ll be more concise next time.

My favorite : Kody demanding Janelle kick her sons out of the house. 😮 Janelle’s response was classic! “You’re not even on the lease dude” 😅😅😅😅😅

When he called Garrison narcissistic it blew my mind. That coming out of the mouth of the biggest narcissist on reality tv.

In last week's episode, did anyone else catch Robyn's comment about how she didn't want to "Let" Kody go to Christine's house? She said she didn't know what would happen if he did, but she most certainly said "I don't want to let him go" so she can say she doesn't control him, but she does. The other thing is, when they're "YOUR" kids you're NOT babysitting, you're being a parent. Kody will never take responsibility for his actions ever.

I'm so glad you brought up Kody "babysitting" his kids. When he actually said that, my jaw dropped. He doesn't like to "babysit" the kids...No wonder his relationships with his adult children never developed. The fact that he can't understand WHY the relationships are in the trash just shows his narcissism and complete lack of self-awareness.

Absolutely Christine has had therapy! She is so clear, resolved, and calm. It makes him look and sound all the more ridiculous. She, like Janelle, has accepted she can’t change him and sees him for what he is now.

Watching your own children isn't babysitting....it's called parenting, and Kody doesn't do either.

Thanks to Janelle letting Garrison live at home so he could save up cash, he was able to buy his own home last year. Janelle and Robin will never be friends because Robin went after Maddie when she was younger telling her how she had to believe in the church like she did and Janelle said, excuse me but I let MY child decide for herself if she wants to stay in the church or this lifestyle. Janelle has never forgiven Robin for overstepping the boundry with her child.

Great analysis as always 😀 What really got me mad was the fact that Christine invited Kody to come along and help Isabell move to college. She even went out of her way and offered him multiple options, like driving the U-Haul truck or taking a flight or tag along in his own car.....but no, because of Covid it's impossible for him! Kody's reasons for not being able to help his daughter move are so ridiculous! Well, obviously he can't drive the neither the moving truck nor his own car as it would be a 6 hours drive and he would have to make some stops during the drive to get gas - obviously gas stations are highly infectious and he would catch the virus.....ja, sure🙄but he also can't take a flight because airports and plans are also highly infectious😡 How does he get gas for his car at home? Is this what the Nanny does??? 🤬😅

How many thousand times has Kody said to his wives, "If you don't like it, you can leave anytime." Then when one of them says she wants to leave, he says she shouldn't leave because..... Seems like Kody doesn't let go of his possessions easy.

I feel like Robin is talking out of both sides of her mouth to make herself look the best. "Kody doesn't help me. That is why I have a nanny." "I asked the older kids to fix things with their dad" "No one knows what is really going on. No one understands." "You can't get lazy in plural marriage." All these are me paraphrasing, except that last one. The tears and extra frowns face just feel fake. Mostly I am just infuriated at Kody abandonment of his older children. He is not going to go with Ysabel to move her, even tho he didn't go to her surgery. He called Garrison stupid and narcissistic on NATIONAL tv. He has decided all his adult kids are a clique and against him and it is gross. And I just have this feeling as calm as he is appearing now with Christine is going out the window because Robin starts crying and saying Christine is hurting her and that will lead to his screaming about being stabs in the kidneys. Which just argh. This worm.

He acts as if his issues with Janelle’s boys, started recently. For instance, they ripped Gabe out of an excellent school situation to displace all of them for Dayton going to college in Flagstaff. I still have two adult kids living with me, it’s not the 80’s cost of living is out of the reach of a single young adult to live well outside the home. So, I’m so with Janelle in this situation.

Thank you for pointing out the absurdity of kody saying " babysitting" his kids. My husband would kill me if I asked him to " babysit". Kody saying proves the disconnect between the kids. I agree with John 100%

I love that Robyn has an "Office" kody has a closet 🤷‍♀️🤣🤦‍♀️😂

John cracked me up during your recap when you said “don’t mistake us for caring.” I laughed so hard 😂. That was epic! Sister wives is like a watching a train wreck. What a freak show. I won’t watch it but I love your recaps. You can watch it for me so I thank you so much!!! I love you guys. You are a great pair!!

Kody is pouty because Christine had the temerity to take away his power over her, and his giant ego, took a hit. He likes to be in power. He can't believe anyone would leave HIM without his permission...and Christine basically said, UP YOURS BABY! and told him to get to steppin' out her door.

I love John’s expressions!😂😂😂

Loved your “What does the Nanny Do” t-shirt. Your next one should say “Where does Kody Go??”

The question is "What does Robyn do?" Seriously nothing is adding up.

Well, I hope that the $200 per hour that Kody says he earns is taken into consideration when Kody is pulled into court to assess what his child support for Truly should be.

Janelle and Christine are currently on vacation in Hawaii. Janelle spends more time in Utah with Christine than she does in Flagstaff.

I just started watching your channel today, and you are the only one bringing the emotion and exasperation the entire audience feels to life. No one else, despite how awesome they are, has been able to really put the umph into their words like you too do. I subscribed after watching this video.

When he and Mery were going to therapy and having issues he told her that she needed to fix her relationship with his older kids, now look who has problems with his older kids 🤣🤣🤣 I know, it's not funny but it is ironic

I'm pretty sure flipping his hair around is Kody's full-time job. And he moonlights by flexing his muscles caveman style. Both are grueling work, but he's up to the task.

You two are so cute together! I don’t know if we, the viewers, had it all wrong, but I was feeling pretty gaslit by Robyn this episode. I was under the impression that she was the favorite and he spent most of his time with her. Heck I remember clips of her saying he’s at her house most of the time because she was following his Covid rules. Plus Paedon and Ysabel have said Robyn is his favorite and they see the contrast. Then in this episode she’s talking like he’s barely there. I’m Trying to figure out if she lacks that much self awareness or she’s lying through her teeth.

Family is what you make of it and the Real family is Janelle and Christine and their kids bc that is where the love is.

Robyn is a liar I’ve seen her lie and strategically withhold information to get her way. For instance when she fake took the wives dress shopping and then Kody told the truth and she was like “you shouldn’t have said anything” lol 😂

Three things: 1)I think the unforgivable betrayal from Meri was when she bought the b&b on her own. He hated that. 2) Regarding closets, K's high school girlfriend thought he was gay. And, I don't think he appreciates women other than as baby makers. He doth protests too much. 3) Meri would make an awesome lesbian 🙂 I hope she finds a way to be happy . PS. I love Christine and Janelle!!!

Wait a minute...he wasn't wearing a mask at Christine's and he hugged Ysabel. BUT COVID KODY!! He needs to quarantine from Robyn now.

Thank you for telling us your story. You’re such a cute couple and you’re both really sweet to each other. I look forward to your recaps every week!

I love the story of you two and how you got together ❤️. You two are adorable together, I don't care if it was off topic.

I think Robyn thought she wanted Kody to herself, but now she's having second thoughts. Because he didn't go see Christine or Janelle, he kept bugging Janelle to throw the boys out so he can come stay, so he dont have to show any affection to her, they are more like buddies. Janelle doesn't respect herself, she said their relationship is adequate, she's ok with that. But she's showingher children that it's okay to be treated this way in a relationship, or marriage. That's crazy, Meri doesn't need to be on the show anymore.

Your complete exasperation with Kody and his nonsense is all of us, I was saying YESSSS to every point you made lol. Great recap and I'm glad your dog's ok!

Your short synopsis of how you all got together is so cute!!

I think Robyn is crying, a daughter is anxious, a son is on the spectrum I feel they may be more going in that house that is being kept secret from other wives and kids and that is why Kody thinks Ari can’t be away from him 2 days. Sol is as old as Aspyn putting 4 kids to bed younger than her. The family nanny and this paid nanny may be to keep secret some reason Kody feels they can’t cope. Obviously Meri, Janelle and Christine and kids could cope. I don’t mean more going on bad but more going on making them need that 2 parent household?

I have figured it out! John in Hugh Laurie’s long lost twin… 😂😂

The hypocrisy in those two drives me nuts! Glad you had notes. I lost count of both of their contradictions in the first seven minutes. They are as fake as a wooden nickel. Sobyn's trying to sway public opinion but she's been a master manipulator since day one. Another great review, Nikki & John!

Your're the only one who has pointed out all the inconsistencies in the "he's here all the time, he's not here more than elsewhere, adult children go, adult children don't go ... etc. Thank you. This is where my mind went throughout the show. Also, Robyn seemed to be blaming Christine on Kody's taking his anger out on the children, because she's leaving. What, Robyn??? Also, Robyn, how many years beyond 10 should a couple have to stay together to work on their broken marriage to make you happy.

Kody was upset that Christine didn't want to raise Robyn's kids, like she did Janelle's. Christine and Janelle's kids were closer in age AND Janelle was working. Robyn doesn't work and gets sex from Kody, why would Christine WANT to help.

In regards to Christine’s peace of mind and therapy….last night I watched a man who zoomed in to the background scene of Kody and Christine’s conversation he took notice of the books on Christine’s book shelf. He noted the title of the book, the author, and a synopsis of the books. Christine has been preparing for this split for some time.

I like the long videos so just do you and don’t worry about the video length. Have been waiting to hear your take on this episode since I saw it! And glad your pup is doing well.

Didn't they attempt "therapy" with their onscreen therapist a while back? I seem to recall a rock stacking exercise, or something similar. If memory serves, Christine wanted to represent/discuss their relationship as husband and wife while Kody insisted that it be about the "family" as a whole. It was frustrating to watch.

There are many channels doing what you do BUT YOU GUYS DO IT THE BEST ! My husband and I love your channel. I We actually get excited when we catch one of your videos. Thanks guys ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I LOVE your recaps of Sister Wives! Y'all have the best recaps!

I understand having 4 wives gives you god-status in “heaven”, and something compelling as a reward for the 4 wives. That’s why his favorite wife told Meri they can always “rebuild”.

One of my pups (years ago) had a cancer tumor on her toe. They remove of her toes. She went on to live a very long life.

Loved hearing how you two met ❤️ you guys are so awesome. Love your enthusiasm and John's total lack of 🤣 his little sarcastic comments are perfect. As someone who's gone through the "joys" of divorce that's such a huge point though about the whole "when" are you divorced. I have a date we split, a date I moved out, and a very clear date when the legal paperwork was finalised. It would be so weird not having that clear line in the sand.

The nanny bit is simply because of the fact that a nanny is simply not necessary, especially during Covid. Also, how can ANYONE in that family ever say bad things about Christine?

He has favorite kids, too. The oldest kids seemed to get the most attention and now all of Robyn's...

I thought the same thing....4 weeks of not talking about your marriage that is falling apart. (Well it was done before the first talk) Also, why when he found the boxes in the garage he didn't immediately talk to Christine. No, he waited.

John is such a hoot! Loved "Lizard People" 🤣

Sorry to chime in again, the “rules” reminded me of something…after Arielle was born him and Robyn required everyone to wash hands and change clothes before anyone held that child. So part of this crap is Robyn!! Both of my kids as infants also had RSV, with Asthma, both hospitalized and they also had Covid 🙄twice last year….oh!! And Dayton had an eye surgery after Covid and Cody went!! I forgot that one…

I loved your shirt. It’s not the point that she has a nanny it’s the point that Cody had more faith in the nanny then his own wives. I was in a bad marriage and he made good money I had 3 kids with him. I didn’t love him but I was depressed for several months after I left him ,then I realized on my own this life is better without him. You think you have to stay with this man you had kids with but you don’t realize the kids were suffering. If the momma isn’t happy the babies aren’t.

Let’s talk about Robin getting her eyebrows redone?!?! 😜

Janelle years back before the Lehi house refused to move with Kody and the others…. she didn’t “leave him or the marriage” she just refused to follow him.

I love John's attitude! So happy you're dog is good 🙂

I don’t think you need to clarify or apologise. I listened to the entirety of your last recap and I heard nothing untoward and it was very very clear what you were speaking about and why! Love you guys, from a 🇨🇦 expat in 🇬🇧

You two make us feel like we are hanging out with you. Love this that makes me laugh😊

Except he's not even a good babysitter. Truly went into kidney failure under his watch! He is a neglectful husband and father! The damage he has done to those women and children is disgusting!

Love the dynamic between you two. I live for the husband’s comments.

Robyn FaceTimed Kody when he went to see Mariah and Audrey two weeks into COVID while he sat in the driveway mad at Meri that Mariah left before he could see her.

Even if Janelle throws the boys out is he going to say Savanah can’t go to school?

I'm so watching your old videos! Dude lol I love them you guys make me laugh!

Robyn and Kody are starting to slip up in their lives 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Janelle did leave very early on in the marriage, i think she said for about 8 months - I think it was just when it was her and Meri - Even though Im fed up with the show and Kody specifically, I wouldnt mind one more season so it can prove that nothing else gets better after Christine actually leaves, its still going to be bad, and probably will just be with another wife

I do not think that Robyn's ex was abusive. She has insinuated that but has never said it. But, I don't believe he was. She knows he won't speak out or they made him sign an NDA.

I agree with John. Meri has made the choice to stay and be miserable. I don't think her choice to stay as completely about Kodi though. I think she also realizes that being a public figure is helping her businesses. If she leaves reality television she's not going to get the traffic she's getting now. We saw it happen with Nene's stores when she left RHOA.

Great recap!!! Y’all are spot on and hilarious as usual! 🤗 I hope your dog feels better soon! ❤️

This is an eye opening episode, 1 kody may have said it that they can leave anytime they want but he only said it because he believed they wouldn’t. 2 Janelles kids are pissed and setting boundaries because after they were sick and had a level of immunity he still didn’t show up. And he wanted to kick out her support next work. 3 Mari said it takes two in marriage to be open and working for it to work, when last season he said he wasn’t willing to. 4 at the beginning of the pandemic we weren’t concerned about kids the information then were kids handled it really well, so why was he all worried about the little kids so much? 5. His first question was about the cost of Isabel‘s education, I’ve suspected that they moved to flagstaff because university was paid for by the state so long term if all the kids went to university in flagstaff they would save a lot seeing as they believe in paying for university. 17 kids through university is expensive

That’s what I keep saying! When you have like 15-18 people saying the same things about you. LOOK IN THE MIRROR!! There is a common denominator here….Kody! Yes, Robin is awful…but, Kody had these relationships before Robin, he has a duty to them. He has let them ALL down. They loved him….his narcissistic heart doesn’t love them back. It’s sad!

Marie was seeking love so she can’t say she’s ok! She wanted more and now Kody put so much guilt on her that now she doesn’t feel she deserves real love!

I love your conversation and interaction. John’s expressions are priceless. I think Meri is a good actress being coached by the producers. 🧤

I hated when Cody called it "babysitting" it's not babysitting when you're the parent it's called parenting!

I hope now that Christine has left the family Kody "marries " another sister wife and gives Robin some of her own medicine.

Awe…..how sweet! My husband and I had a similar dating/engagement/marriage!!!!

Your What does the nanny do t-shirt gave me a chuckle. 😆

The babysitting comment is so irritating. Cody always refers to "Jenelle's kids" and "Christine's kids" but uses "our" kids when referring to him and Robin.

Kody is Captain of the Douche Canoe.

We all know,Kody and Robin talk in circles cause,they won’t/don’t own up to the truth. I say….LISTEN TO THE KIDS!!! Almost all the kids (excluding Robins) say the same thing. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄🤔🙄

I love this couple, they are among, , and so honest, sending all my blessings and thank you for saying it the way it is , God bless 🙌

Oh I forgot I love how TLC showed the contradictions that Robyn and Kody say and than Christine and Janelle told what it was loved it

I love watching you two. So happy your wee furbaby is doing well x x x

I have had to dip on the actual show years ago bc I couldn't take it anymore BUT I appreciate y'all's recaps.

For him to say that all the family does is gossip. Then both he and Robyn claim they were blindsided by Christine wanting to leave. 🤣🤣🤣

The entire show was a series of brief clips of them all contradicting each other. It was mentally exhausting to watch.

Nikki, what about when Kody brought his two younger children to christine and her kids kayaking outing. He had to babysit? Why he bring Robyns kids on Christines family time?

I love your critique of this show...TLC NEEDS TO CATCH UP AND CANCEL THIS

I freakin love your nanny shirt, all I hear in my head is Christine's voice and tone when asking that 😅

Why didn't Christine get a nanny for 11 or 12 kids OR when Ysabel needed post op help. Robin and Kody can Risk having a nanny but NOT see your OWN children. This guy is unbelievable. How does he look back at these shows and not see how wrong he is???Yes Nikki he holds grudges for eternuty. So unforgiving!

Christine says it’s been 10-12 years. Well 12 years ago is when Sobyn Robyn appeared. Christine was very pg. but she gets no attention because “ Kody is in love”. I watch a therapist. He says no point in therapy. Christine is just done.

40 minutes well spent, thank you 💞

Just found this channel. I love your husband's comments!

I think he's looking for a 5th wife so that's why he's not around. I could be wrong lol

Christine was considered AUB royalty. Her grandfather Rulon Allred was one of the first leaders. Allred was arrested and imprisoned, research the "Short Creek" raid. He was briefly the leader of the FLDS before the Jeffs. Kody and the wives were kicked out of the AUB after they went public.

This has bothered me, when Kody presented to move to Utah, Janelle was clear she nothing there. I thought all of Christine’s kids just about there. What happed to “one for all and all for one” Aren’t Christine’s kids all of theirs?

I used to think that Kody was genuinely confused about his accountability, but now I think Kody likes to feign confusion, which makes him look like a better guy who is really working on understanding himself. Geesh. What was I thinking.

I loved it when you talked about meeting each other! You can tell the two of you love each other!

Kody.....you want to know who is at fault for this family disaster? Take a selfie...it's that guy!

I do love your re-caps I do - but let's get honest here - These shows were filmed about 1-2 years ago - and they are milking the money ALL of them for whatever they can. They all deserve awards for their acting.

Christine and Kotex did go to therapy. I don't remember what season it was. I remember they took a trip to Galveston with the therapist. Kotex the whole time wasn't validating Christine's feelings. I'm happy she's out of that marriage, Christine deserves happiness and true love.
