Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 6: The Wives Diet Woes

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 6: The Wives Diet Woes

The sister-wives open up about an issue that has bothered all of them: their weight. Watch the sisters speak candidly about their battle with the bulge and see their attempts to shed the pounds as they they make their way to a gym for a body-fat analysis. Well, that was horrible. I always include the TLC/Puddle Monkey/Discovery+ episode description in my show notes and this one is just awful. I realize in the Age of Recreational GLP-1s, diet culture is here to stay...but wow. The Biggest Loser BS in this episode made my blood boil. The whole thing felt like an exercise in humiliation, especially for Janelle. They literally weigh the wives on camera and Robyn, being the lightest, lets out a 'Woo!' Despite all the mistreatment, Janelle is a great mom in this episode. And Christine? I have a theory she's spending a ton of energy to stop herself from blurting out that she wants to end her marriage. What do you think? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 5: Defending Polygamy

Kody returns to his Wyoming hometown with all four wives to introduce them to his high school friends. The group faces mixed, and sometimes hostile, reactions regarding their polygamist lifestyle. Meanwhile, Robyn and Kody officially announce the name of their baby. You know how so many Sister Wives episodes are engraved in our brains? Not this one. Beyond his high school friends speculating on his sexuality, there are so many moments here worth remembering, from Kody's pathetic attempts to get Ken's approval to the Lovell townspeople literally pointing and whispering. And here's a first in this rewatch: I almost felt bad for Kody. To round out the episode, we have Robyn using her pregnancy to try to rewrite her romantic history. I wish she named the baby Gabe as an anonymous child suggested. Let me know what you think! You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 4: The Four Lives of Kody Brown

Four days in Kody's life see him go from house to house, visiting a different wife each day. Plus, the gender of Robyn, and Kody's baby is revealed! *Content note: Discussion of red flags for grooming and sexual abuse* Hey, I'm baaaaack! I was away for several weeks traveling for work and seeing family. I told myself I would edit while I was on the airplane and I just....didn't. But I'm back and I'm thankful for those of you who've stuck with me!  In this episode, we see Kody spend time at each wife's house, and the dynamics are notably different. Off the top, some of the things I noticed: Christine's nights were bookends of the episode and both nights were family dinners; it's so quiet at Meri's house; time with Janelle was more about interacting with the kids; and Robyn is very intentional about making Kody feel like 'the head of the house'.

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 3: 4 Houses, 4 Relationships

Robyn and Kody go and see their midwife, but will their worst nightmare come be a reality? Meanwhile the other wives are making over one room in each house. In maybe the first filler episode, the Kody and the sister wives go shopping for furniture. Even though the adults were trudging through a very boring plot line, they still told on themselves on the couch. I forgot how ice cold Janelle was! She's openly disgusted with Robyn's relationship with Kody. Meanwhile, Robyn is micromanaging everyone's marriages. Meri's being passive aggressive because the family made a decision for her. And Christine is trying so hard to mask her heartbreak. Let me know what you think! You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 2: Teen Sex Talk

Kody, Christine and Janelle experiment with working in real estate; the teens are going out with new friends in Las Vegas; Robyn and Kody receive a scare. I have seen these early episode several times, but there's an interesting dynamic I noticed this time around. Let's just say Robyn's influence on the family and on Kody is especially evident. But only if you're keeping an eye out for it! She is tricky to say the least. Also in this episode, the teens spill their secret-not-so-secret dating history, Christine climbs onto Kody's shoulders, and Janelle is jumping out of her skin to go back to work.  My kids are young, but this episode still got me thinking about their sexual health education, or as it's called in their school-- 'body science', and how I am and will do things differently than the Browns. They sure are shaming and rigid. BUT I think there are more messages being communicated between the lines... How did 'the talk' go for you growing up?  You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!
