Sister Wives

[mi*vida*loca]

Does anyone really care about the relationship between Meri and Janelle? The trip to the therapist seems like the lamest story line.

Robin does look aged. Kody does that to women. He ruins them. It is strange how none of them were able to get on the fitness/health bandwagon that they tried when they first moved to Vegas. Not one of them. And now Robin is no longer the hot skinny wife anymore (compared to the others). No offense to other fluffy women like myself .

I do find this family more interesting than the Duggars, though. I am so over them and all their weddings and nonsense.

Christine has lost a lot of weight. I think she looks great.

I noticed very early on that they eat like crap. So much boxed Frankin Food. I remember thinking with so many people they almost have to in order to just be able to afford to eat. And not just the wives but most of the girls and some of the younger boys as well. This isn’t judgement on my part. I have been obese and know full well how hard it is to get your crap together to reverse that but as a mom it would alarm me and set off a call to action.

I've noticed this too and with the Duggars. And with that comes bad skin. I notice a lot of the Brown kids and a lot of the Duggar kids have horrible skin and acne. IMO that comes from the overly processed diets.

What the heck is boxed Franklin Food?

She has lost a lot of weight since her wedding, but not since the show started .

Yes she has. Especially after having Truely. She was much heavier and lost weight in the last 3 or more years.

Frankin like Frankenstein. All processed cheap crap. There’s nothing wrong with using it occasionally but if that’s all you eat you’re going to be lacking in the health department. It does not satisfy so you eat more to try and feel satiated. It’s a vicious cycle IMO.

This whole "what do they eat" thing always fascinates me. How in the world do you cook for huge numbers of people multiple times a day, and include enough protein, fresh fruit, and veg? In my grandparents' day, it would have been because you raised it all on the family farm. I assume Cody and company use tons of starches to stretch whatever else they serve? (Remember the Duggar's institutional size/style kitchen? And constant tator tot casseroles?)

They have regular size kitchens. I don't think they have that many kids in each individual family what 5 or 6 kids in each family that not huge is it?

I'd be shocked if Tony could actually find another woman dumb enough to marry him

let alone one that could tolerate dealing with mykeltie.

 

[dreamin_disney]

What, you don't think his dance skills would land him a nice catch?

Hey now, he has the hot dance moves and he's hotter than Mexican hot sauce lol! for the record I'm totally just joking lol! He thinks he's all that so ya never know. I think if Mykelti says yes he would. He will try and convince her

They don’t eat together most of the time so I would assume same as I do. I’m not against convenience foods but if that’s all your diet consists of it’s going to take it’s toll. My mother and her family eat this way and the results aren’t pretty. Fruits and veggies don’t have to be strictly fresh to be healthy. I keep bags of frozen in my freezer along with lean proteins. It’s easier than ever to eat a varied, healthy diet these days. Mine wasn’t a criticism but more of an observation.

They are seen eating as a large group in the show, but on a daily basis I think they just eat like 4 separate families. Except that Dad is only there every 4th night. If they can afford those homes, they can afford some fruits and vegetables.

I don't think so. She has worked to hard to get in the Mormon church to ever leave

They will not baptize her, she is not “in.” And that’s all I’m going to say because otherwise I’ll get myself in trouble with my thoughts on that.

At a reported $160,000 per adult (so x5) per season, I'm thinking they can more than afford to feed their family units of 5, 6, 7, etc. I guess I haven't paid too much attention to what they're eating (besides street tacos lol), I didn't think they showed it that much.

 

[CdnCarrie]

They talked more about the daily activities such as meal prep in the very beginning of the series when it was more of a documentary on how the lifestyle worked.
Now days its more about the highlights of their lives.

Truth be told, it's now a wedding planning show. I'm shocked they didn't do a tie-in with "Say Yes to the Dress".

when the show was threatened with cancellation in 2016 it was reported that to keep it on the air kody renegotiated for a flat fee for the entire household-$180,000.

If he went from 180K per adult to 180K total, he must be a really bad negotiator. That's at least an 80% reduction, probably a lot more depending on how the non spouse adults were compensated. But hey, I guess it's more than nothing.

If you notice that TLC is putting a lot of these kinds of shows on the air so that has to cut into the Sister Wives popularity. Seeking sister wives is another show that is airing and I just noticed another show about polygamists that is airing (can't remember the name though). Still $180 K is a lot of money to make for virtually doing nothing but airing your laundry. I don't think that anyone (maybe Janelle?) has an outside job. Meri doesn't count since she just opened the B & B
