Sister Wives S18E4 A Deal with the Devil 

I legit felt like I was watching Kody’s descent into madness..absolutely infuriating. He seemed completely out of touch with how his actions have hurt other people.

When Robyn said she would have done anything to have the boys join them for Christmas, I actually screamed at the tv. What happened to, “oh that sounds scary” to invite the boys. It’s infuriating to see her lie and play the victim. Also thank you John for the solid laughs. 😂 I’ve got my eye on you.

I loved watching that short clip of Hunter playing in the snow with Truely. It made my heart happy. The scenes of the kids playing in the snow were the best part of the episode.

Nathan was a joke. He wants compassion for Kody's divorce from Christine. What about Meri? Why isn't he saying, "Look at how you treated my sister-in-law!!"?

My eyes and throat were sore after that episode. My eye rolls and screaming “liar” to Robyn every time she spoke.

Kody bought himself a present. Kody got the kids dirt bikes and he thinks that they will ‘have fun’ racing around Coyote Pass. Kody has not noticed that none of Robyn's kids are the adventurous types.

Kody is very abusive and Robyn is so malicious . Can’t stand them I wish they were written out of the show.

Christine just asked for space. Not total rejection. Sobyn just wants to be the victim.

It’s sooooooo annoying to hear Kody keep repeating that he doesn’t/didn’t leave his wives. Yes he did!!!!! He abandoned Meri in every way imaginable, he even told her not to CALL him anymore. How is that not leaving?? You stopped seeing her, then stopped speaking to her, and then told her not to speak to you. He didn’t abandon Christine quite as fully but arguably what he did to her was worse. He only came around to torment her! He left all his wives for Robyn and he ought to be called out on it.

Robyn: Uh, Kody, could you even be around those awful Janelle kids? Also Robyn: We are really sad over here because we've been cheated out of a big Christmas. 🙄

Me, me, me. That is the only person Kody cares about. He is like a child going on and on about how he wanted to have a good Christmas. He was sad it wasn't "Christmassy" enough. He is the most selfish person I have ever had the misfortune of knowing about. Most adults make Christmas about children if they are in their lives, Kody only cares about himself.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned and emphasized the GLORIOUS GABE saying he didn't feel slighted by Kody and Robyn, but, and I quote, "ABSOLUTELY NEGLECTED." The way Garrison looked at him, and they cut to another scene was perfect.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that gets worked up by Kody's BS 🤣

I love how production made it obvious that Soloman was coached. When he says I can't remember the 4th thing that describes Ari.

It's so hilarious. John always works in that Kody is wetting his pencil. 😂😂😂😂

Christine laughing about 'sacred lonliness' is a riot!!!

My parents divorced when I was young. Even 20 years later, when I asked my mom if she regretted that marriage, she was so reluctant to say yes because it was so hard to acknowledge that would mean she wouldn't have her children. The glee he has in saying he wishes he hadn't married Christine is sickening. Kids always know when their parent cannot be adult enough to parent them and focus on degrading the other parent. Kootie is just unable to be a parent to his kids, and that was clearly covered up for many years. BUT THE KIDS KNEW!

Nikki - "I can't keep an eye on you." John - "neither can he." 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you I needed a laugh after that depressing episode!

Kody spun it into how hard is was on Robyn. Nathan was talking about how difficult it was on all of the women.

I think Meri said she felt like the "other woman". 😂 Meri, you are like the weird aunt that everyone feels sorry for because you have no life of your own!

I wish Christine or Janelle or one of the kids would do a tell all book about how their family’s journey changed and was destroyed after Robyn joined. Spill it all.

Truly quoting Tiny Tim after that excessive display was so funny! *chef kiss*

Wow amazing how it was Christine’s fault and now it’s Janelle and Janelle’s kids fault. When is he going to be accountable. He made choices and those choices have consequences. He showed no loyalty to 3 partners and 12 kids. 13 once Mykelty can’t stand it anymore.

I would pay good money to watch Mary punch Sobyn square in the face, after saying she didn’t have time with Kody either ‼️ I just can’t with Sobyn 🤦‍♀️

Don't even read any negative comments about the videos or doing a Patreon, you guys are putting out funny content/recaps that take your time and energy and that many of us enjoy! Those that can support a Patreon will, and those who can't will watch and "like" every video!! So ignore the stupid people who write comments just to be negative!! ❤

Christine also clarified right away that she just needed space from Robyn right now, because it was emotionally difficult because her relationship with Kody fell apart and Robyn’s didn’t. She just wanted to maintain their current level of a relationship because she was going through it and moving to a different state. Robyn ignored Christine for years then when she moves out of state and gets divorced she “wants to work on their relationship”. No that is messed up that she tried that in the first place. She said nothing about the kids. And Christine offered for years to watch the kids, Robyn said no because she didn’t like the way Christine and Janelle parented her kids. She went on a thing about how the other wives will treat your kids badly if the think you are the preferred wife. She slandered Christine and Janelle all over the place.

This episode was a great example of how Robyn lies about her trying to connect with the kids.. telling Kody she has offered cap and hand (lies) … he believes her without vetting her story and that fuels his rage forwards his kids and other wives. She does whatever she needs to to keep the money train for all her spending.

I’m so sorry for Savanna. Part of me thought why not load her into the car with Ysabel and Truley, and drop her off at Kody’s, but that would’ve put her into a crappy place, and not fair for her. What a creep Kody is.

I feel like Cody is just trolling us for ratings! This whole show was infuriating. There is no value in anything Kody or Robyn say because it’s all lies!!!

It is so upsetting that janelle was left with nothing. Janelle was very loyal to the entire family and unfortunately she put her trust into kody and robyn that are con artists. Despite this I fully believe janelle will get back on top of finances as she is a worker and planner. Kody and robyn I do not think will fare to well as all the checks have left and they do not work and are big spenders.

Kody doesn’t want to leave Robyn. What he wanted was viewers to feel sympathy for how difficult things are for him. 🤮

I saw another content creator discuss Robyn's artwork and the value of each item. This was just from the preview. After watching the whole episode I was shocked by the amount of art, nick knacks and tchotchkes. I wonder about the value of the dickens village as well.

"Stop it, John, I can't keep an eye on you." "Neither can he." 🤣🤣🤣TOTALLY inappropriate to say and TOTALLY inappropriate to laugh and here I am laughing. Love you two! I'd watch you do 90-day Fiance but SW is the total amount of reality show that I can handle lol.

Those Dept. 56 Dickens Village houses cost $150 to $200 each. It’s infuriating that Janelle has no house but Robyn has tons money for expensive collectibles.

When John Impersonated Nathan I SCREAMED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love your very insightful analysis and I agree with all you said. It hit me hard when Kody said he did NOT want Robyn to see him confessing the very evil thoughts he is having, and how he just wants to be an a------hole. I thought WOW, he just cares about Robyn's opinion of him?? It does not cross his mind how his kids are going to feel when they see this, or the additional pain he is causing them, or that he is now giving them more reason to feel rejected by their father? Also , the contrast struck me of how we see proof of Cody's and Robyns frivolous spending on all those collectibles, paintings, statues, gemstones, figurines, and bountiful gifts; comparing that to Janelle's not even having a place to gather with her kids, so they had to rent a house for Christmas? The injustice is astounding when Janelle was the hard worker and major income producer all those years!

He never calls them his children. He calls them Janelle’s children and Christine’s children. It’s just so sad.

I think I need therapy just from listening to Cody commiserate and swim in his own self pity for that long. And the part about him gobbling & snorting his crepes….😖 gah! Him musing and wondering WHY the 2 ladies REALLY left him… dude… he had a FAVORITE! Those two women would have stayed with even LESS of a marriage than they had, if they had all been treated equally. He hasn’t accepted that reality yet. Neither has Robyn.

Everything Jonh says is gold worth the wait during these hostage videos. 🤣 The whole time I was watching the car scene with kody and Cross Eye, i was thinking "I can't wait to hear what john has to say about this" and he delivered!

Can you imagine being Savannah and having your sisters come back to the the B&B from R&K's with presents? OMG - K&R are horrible! Parents need to treat all your children the same, with regard to love and presents. I have always have had a soft spot in my heart for Savannah since the first episode watching her spell her name in a tray full of flour. She was just darling back then, and she is a beautiful young woman today, in every respect.

We don't know if Meri gave gifts to the other kids. We 'do' know that she cares for them all, and has been with many during other get togethers. She sat with Janelle and Gabe at Logan's Wedding, and Logan and Hunter to her to Vegas and dinner for her Birthday.

The fight with Janelle took place 10 days before a Christmas yet Robyn and Kody didn’t comment on any gifts that had been bought for the other kids. No talk about how they were going to get the gifts to them or whether they were going to be held for them. This is an indication that they always planned to create some drama so they didn’t bother to go gift shopping to begin with.

I was yelling at the tv the entire episode!

"THAT'S HOW CONDITIONAL LOVE WORKS, BUDDY!" Best quote of the day.

i felt like that episode when christine told her she wasnt interested in being friends with her was very insightful and brave of christine because she knew that robyn was sabotaging her relationship with kody behind her back and she was just done. but i thought she handled that will class. she never mentioned the kids and actually said she looked forward to group family events it was just she didnt want a friendly relationship with her. thats how you handle a toxic person in my opinion.

First I want to hear from Robyns older kids to see what they say about Christine leaving. Second does anyone else think Kody is on testosterone? Could that explain his outbursts and how ALL the wives saying how angry he is and that hes not the man they thought he was??

Department 56 dickens village each piece is $150 or more. The figures about $30 each.

Kody was infuriating! All he did was makes excuses and not take any accountability for his actions. Kody and Robyn's Christmas was miserable while at least Christine and Janelle had a very nice Christmas both alone and together.

Umm, no mention of the part where Sobyn said she would JUMP at the opportunity to spend Christmas with any of those people. Like we didn’t just watch this witch with a capital B tell Meri NOT to invite them over for Christmas Eve!

It feels like the Charles Dickens references and EXPENSIVE village display were inserted into the narrative to represent Kody’s past, present and to lay the groundwork for his fake future self. He’s constantly mentioning what an ogre and cruel guy he’s being. “There’s more Christmases to come”. He feels emotionally “bankrupt” 💰of love and has been living with evil & sinister thoughts and behaviors towards his children and their mothers. Kody can’t possibly think he’s going to resurrect his image like the fictional Ebenezer Scrooge or reading the Nativity story to his kids.

They are spending so much time on Kody... I'm done with him.

Wait for your reaction every Monday ❤ My husband watches with me every week and continuously rants about how much he hates kody and cross eyed Nathan lol

I laughed so hard with John’s impression 😂😂.

If we're going to have Kody's friends on to defend him, then I would LOVE to see the wives' friends come on and bear witness to all the nonsense they've seen Kody put their friends through. I want to see Janelle's best friend talk about the financial abuse she's witnessed over the years.

Rumor has it the painting on the wall of the deer in Robyn and Kody's house is approximately an $8000 painting and two others of ocean scenes were thousands also.

Same oh, same oh.. Kody feelling sorry for HIMSELF! Still not thinking He is the one who has caused all of this . Don't forget Robyn. same thing . IF they both really cared, then do something to bring back unity. I didn't think this segment was ever going to end..

Everytime Kody buys something I'm honestly just thinking it's him spending the physical money that they have so that if Janelle comes after them for anything they have nothing to give her.

I wanted to yell at the screen Sooooooooo many times w/this episode!!!! Such BS! Kody spoils Robyn’s kids & ignores his other kids. Meanwhile Robyn gloats and flaunts while Forcing Merri to watch how rich & in love she is….. Kody & Robyn is Exhausting!!!! Listening to him talk about Robyn as a wife & discount Janelle 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

cant believe that Janelle never caught on that Kody and Robyn were out to swindle the family, especially since she was in charge of the family finances. Kody deliberately picks a fight with Janelle to have an excuse for leaving her closet apartment because he would rather be in the MANSION WITH ROBYN.

What struck me that Kody's friend didn't include that husband should be financially responsible for their wives? Meri may have given the other children blankets, but TLC didn't include this interaction because it didn't fit the storyline that they were presenting in this episode.

There are so many things that are telling. What stuck me was they couldn't have the second Christmas without robins kids getting more gifts.

Jenelle used her inheritance from her dead father to finance the Lehi house. That’s why she got both upstairs and downstairs living space. Then she cashed in her 401(k) to pay off Robbins debt so that Robin could qualify for the vegas house.

The preview for next week with Robyn saying he wasn't with her alot either is just hilarious! Although, wouldn't it be something if we find out he buggered off alot from her and those kids too, I dont think it wasnt the case but it wouldnt surprise me either

Janelle owned the home that he and Meri rented before she joined the family, they have lived off of Janelle's income for years, she was the frugal hard worker bee and I hope she gets some of it back, I wish TLC would drop him and Robyn, I'm not married to Kody and I wish I could divorce him.

I’m confused as to why Meri doesn’t go spend the holidays with her child. Meri says all this stuff in private interviews how she is the third wheel and feels like the other woman. Well then don’t freaking go, instead spend it with your child.

Two episodes back Christine said that Gwen was spending the Holidays with her Girlfriend's (now Wife) family.

“She is not a seed of the favorite wife “ cracked me up, something my husband would say 😂

I don't want to watch the show if it's mostly going to be Kody. And another thing, if a husband tells you that he's not attracted to you and has never loved you, does he really think you're going to stay married to him???

Kody will only ever parent the children when the mothers present the kids to him or push the relationship on him. If the kids aren't reaching out to him, he's not reaching out to them. If the moms aren't taking the kids to visit him, he isn't going to visit the kids or go to pick them up. Out of sight, out if mind. He is THAT type of father, a donor.

That was considerate of Kody and Robyn to tone down their passion. It must have been a sacrifice.

Just when you think it cant get any worse, here you have a grown man who doesnt even call the majority of his adult children on christmas because its uncomfortable to him, I don't think i've ever seen someone so out of touch with what was really going on before in my life, And Robyn just goes along with everything he tells her about what theyve done, and she's angry because Christine said she needed some time to adjust to her new reality of life by herself - At this point nothing is even shocking that he does or doesnt do, or says or doesnt say - and then next week they're(robyn and kody) like how did we get here...gee I dont have a clue...The part where he was talking about what he really feels like doing and behaving like to the others was both crazy and immature at times, like actually something horrible going on with him that isnt normal, its no wonder people in the family arent buying into it anymore, I wouldnt want to live with it either, and he wonders why his now adult children are staying away from it - "shes not a seed of a favourite wife" is a great quote and is telling of how he operates, it does seem like to punish the wives further he ignores the children they have together too because he knows that breaks their hearts to see their children upset about it - but again, now the adult children are also seeing that for what it is and letting it go, he just doesnt want to take responsibility for any mess he created, and some of the wives still kiss his ass and agree they arent in the wrong and everybody else

Demonetize Kody and Robyn Brown. Cancel Sister Wives now! And all these kids who were used, exploited and hurt by being raised on TLC reality shows need to file a class action lawsuit against TLC.

It seems like even the producers are starting to troll Kody. When the ex wives were talking about the stupidity of spiritual loneliness they put in a shot of him rubbing Robyn's back. I couldn't watch all of the part with Robyn's kids because Ari might be the most annoying child on the planet. But I like how Sol listed things to describe her and then was like I forgot the last one. ie Robyn gave him a list of what to say but he couldn't remember it all.

Robyn confused me when she faked cried about not knowing the boys want to connect. Last episode when it was suggested she said it would be scary. So which is it? It's too scary to be around them and let's not invite them or I want to be together for Christmas. The whiplash. No wonder Kody has lost his dam mind.

Just when I thought Kody couldn't sink any lower, he rose to the occasion.

My God ,I watched the show last night , and All I Did was yell at Kody goes on and on and on ...... I'm so hurt, I'm so mad , I'm not calling the boy's I just can't look at anyone but Onion 👀 eyes .. I have so many bad words I want to use , but I'm being good. LOL. 🙃😉

Am I the only one who was shocked to see that big girl running around with a pacifier in her mouth?

I wish that Royn would stop talking. Whenever her scenes come on, I am so irritated. She made me mad when she said that the boys did not want to come over, because last week, Mary asked who should be invited over for Christmas Eve. Robyn said it would not be "safe" for them to come over. I agree that when I see Robyn's kids I have to forget it's not their fault that they have idiots for parents. They are so damn annoying. I really appreciate John's humor. He cracks me up.

One sibling specifically said Dayton is a great guy and he wishes that Robin would back off and release the apron strings so her adult children can live their lives.

Kody and Robyn wanted 5 lots for 5 kids and Robyn can sit on a porch and haunt her children

I started screaming at the t.v. when I saw the preview with Robyn telling Meri that she didn't see Kody. I wish they would all go back and rewatch their time in Vegas when every time Kody went to someone's house, or they filmed Kody, or someone called Kody, he was with Robyn.

Lol...Janelle does that on Instagram all the time. Its hilarious!! I love her! Lol

French person here. Savory crepes are called "galettes de sarrasin", they are made of buckwheat flour and are very delicious. Ethan chlebowski made a video on them if you want to try to make them. I never comment but I wanted to say thank you to you both. I love your recaps. And I agree with everything you have to say on this episode.

Robyn has spent years bashing the “other kids”. I can not recall the other mothers or children ever bashing Robyn’s kids. These “kids” on the gift exchange fight are adults, several married, college grads, some masters degrees, some with children. Hard to believe they are anywhere near as bad as Robyn paints them.

Thank you for being as angry and frustrated as I was during this episode! I kept yelling at the TV 😂 my lol moment of the whole episode was when Meri says “I feel like the other woman”. She’s so delusional in that moment. To be “the other woman” you have to be in a relationship with one of them. As this point in time she had a “better” relationship with Robyn than Kody. 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

NOW, they are letting the small kids on camera. Anything for a dollar.

Oh, and I can't wait to see Robyn explain how little time Kody spent over at her house.🤬🤣🤬🤣🤬

Oh! Do you know what I REALLY HATED that Robin spent a lot of time doing this episode? Talking about how she tries to be sensitive about Cody’s affection in front of Meri and Christine’s kids… BISH!!! NOBODY CARES ANYMORE! YOU “WON”…. She’s only bringing it up because she actually means the opposite. She thinks she’s rubbing salt in Janelle and Christine’s wounds. But actually she’s just doing what she did when she praised Cody for loving the OG’s through their weight gain and stretch marks…. She’s trying to harm them with comparisons to herself. She’s still the loser. Edited to add! Ha! I see y’all hated that too! So glad you caught that! I really should watch the whole thing then comment 😅

Because you didn’t plug your books this episode I’m going to! I just finished Nikki’s “Of Murder and Mages” on audible. It was so so good. I love that she narrated it herself. The characters are easy to fall in love with and the story was so easy to follow. It made me feel all the feelings as well which is one thing I absolutely love with books. I can’t wait to start the next book “Which Mage Moved the Cheese” which the title alone makes me chuckle and makes me want to read!

I was dying when John gave his impression of Ole Eyeball! I shouldn't have laughed, but all through watching the episode all I could focus on during the Nathan scenes was that. 👁️😉

No one surprised Kody didn’t get his stuff. Did the same to Christine. He has plenty at Robyn’s. He seems to like buying stuff. I’m sure nothing precious was kept there. But he will dig in heels about it.

I think watching you guys was even more entertaining than the show. I’m so happy to know I’m not the only one getting worked up. I can’t be the only one who yells at the tv when the show is on. 😂

This was the worse episode to my heart. Not only did Robyn's kids get $800 + bikes, they also got more gifts once the other kids were there. What about Savanah? where are her gifts? Then Jenelle crying broke my heart. I'm furious

I looked up that Christmas village, each building runs 150.00 and up. The people are 100+ each. There's Janelles money.

Please ignore the Karens and keep on making content! Thanks 😊

Love John's deadpan humor 😀

I'm sorry but who is complaining about the Patreon because I'd like to have a chat with these people. Nikki and John are people who deserve to be paid for their labor, time and effort. Even if you don't think that Nikki and John put effort into these videos (you'd be wrong but whatever) you have to acknowledge that they take a huge amount of time to provide us with this content and they deserve to be paid for their time. Period.

I feel like your response to Robin complaining about not having enough Cody time to Meri was probably the last straw for her too! Guarantee she sat there and decided she didn’t need to pay for the pleasure of being lied to anymore.

Robyn's mansion sits on 4 1/2 acres. They have no need for Coyote Pass. I have a feeling that Kody got some kind of deal to spotlight those mini bikes on the show. It didn't make sense to me that they brought them in the house and also we never saw any of them (including Kody) actually riding them. My guess is we will never see those bikes again.

Loved the snow fight at The Rental. They love Christine and she loves them back. Happy laughter. Not like Robbing Robyns house
