Here’s Brigham Young:
And Kody:
Uncanny. At least around the receding hairline.
Meri has planned the entire trip – and badly too. As the ep goes on, it becomes apparent that she’s basically taken the mileage between Vegas and Nauvoo and divided it up into “x” miles per day, without taking into account a) they never get started on time; b) they’re chronically disorganized; c) kids; d) weather; and e) Kody. Meri, how’s about you go into the trip planning business? I hear the Costa Concorda has an opening for a cruise director.
Just like every Brown trip ever.
Day 1. They have to get to Grand Junction, Colorado. They’ll be traveling 15 hours minimum. Kody complains they have to stop every few hours for a “potty stop”. Um, you do know RVs have toilets, right? When the family parks for the night, Kody’s already whining they “can’t be 4 hours late every night”. This bodes well.
Commercial. It’s Day 2. Mariah observes no one knows what they’re doing. How’s about you get off your ass and help then, you little snot?
Meri says they have to make an RV park in Goodland, Kansas by that evening. Quelle freaking surprise, they’re late again. On the couch, Kody says he’s having trouble “rotating” between the wives on the trip. Robyn says she hates that word. I hate the fact that he can’t just ride with one pair of wives (there are 2 per RV) for half the day, the other pair for the other half. There’s your “rotation”. Janelle says Kody gets overwhelmed and is often “grumpy”.
Day 3, and the group is in Maysville, Missouri. Robyn observes they can’t make Nauvoo in 3 days. Kody cites the wind – it’s blowing some awnings off the RVs – and lack of sleep as impeding their progress. He says he’s only had 4 hours sleep for 2 days. OK, first of all, even if you’re getting into these rest stops at 11 PM, it should take maybe an hour to get those folks who are staying in hotels – oh, did I not mention that? Christine and Robyn are staying in hotels while Janelle and Meri get the RVs – situated. Then sleep. You’re not getting up any earlier than 6 if past experience holds – in fact, you’re probably not getting up until 7 or 8. So you have a lot more than 4 hours’ sleep. Cause even if you are getting any action, that takes what, 3 minutes for you?
In an RV with Meri and Robyn, Kody tries to convince Meri that she’s too tired to drive – she’s obviously not – and refuses to listen to her suggestion that he just rest. Wearing his widdle purple backpack, Kody storms out of the RV. On the couch, Kody states he just “wanted to bark orders and have them obey”, to which Christine responds that she believes “obey” is a 4-letter word. She goes on to say the wives do their best, and “obey” is offensive. Funny, it wasn’t when Joe Darger was giving the orders a couple weeks ago.
Room for one more!

Thank you for writing this during the holidays. I appreciated it and enjoyed reading it.
@PennyDreadful Your recaps always make me ROFL. Even when the show’s depressing. But they’re also a safe place for people that just watched an episode of this show to come get a reality check. That we don’t need to adjust our monitor. Because they really did say/wear/do that.
This wk it was a 1500 mile road trip with 2 RVs worth of kids. Not to mention the dysfunctional swives and a bonus sister in law.
The only good way to plan that is to plan to do something else. Like stay home and make a life size Joseph Smith Death Scene diorama out of construction paper.
When Bozo said that about a lot of factors slowing them down I couldn’t help but think yeah – 9000 people. Plus your whiny ass.
I know people have been talking about Meri being bitchier this season. But I’ve started wondering if it could be a good sign. That’s she’s finally getting tuned up to bail. Because of stuff like his little crack about how she should have a baby so she’d get to stay in the hotel.
If he says stuff like that on tv we don’t want to know what comes out of his mouth when the camera’s off.
On the positive side it looks like next week they might shave his wig off.
I’m at my parents for the holidays and my family watched this episode with me. My dad wanted to know why they were denied admission to the museum because who cares if they are polygamists? I pointed out that 1) Mormons are real touchy about polygamy and 2) it was probably more about keeping the “Hey camera, look at me! I’m a polyg!” circus out of the museum. Dad also wanted to know how they were able to afford renting two RVs, stay in hotels and take this huge trip – I told him all about the quality sterling silver jewelry they sell online, and I almost got through it with a straight face!
Now, when they were talking about Robin’s whatever, I at first thought she said John Sullivan Fullmer because most times you can’t understand half of what she is saying because her lips are permanently affixed to Kody’s ass. But then she was all, “That’s who Soloman is named after!”, so then I was wondering if she said John “Soloman” Fullmer. And by the way, shut up Robin.
PennyDreadful you are quite studied up on the details in this one! I liked it. Especially the photos of their ancestors that actually look alot like them!
Kody HAD to have been PMSing for acting like that on a trip! Or like a little kid that needs a nap but refuses to take on, not sure.
@kthxbai ah about the “you should have a baby” thing to Meri… I couldnt believe I heard that come out of his mouth!
@jp…I can believe it came out his mouth.
He’s not called “Kodoofus” for nothing.
Love the recap.
I’m loving Christine more and more every episode. She really seems to be gaining some self-esteem and calling Kody out more and more…LOVED the giggle regarding their tour guides hair and that this might be a problem for Kody!
She’s a growing a pair and it looks good on her IMO!
This was an interesting episode. I was most impressed at how well those kids were behaved while they were getting the lectures from tour guide Jesus. My kids would have been like “BORING!” and would have been 50 shades of crazy.
Looking at the previews for the next episode…OMG…MERI…her and this house budget is ON MY NERVES. I’m sorry, the other wives should be PISSED. She has one kid who will be out of the house soon. Mariah is I’m sure headed right back to UT as soon as she is able to hunker down with a hubby and some sw’s. If I have to hear about her and her STUPID WET BAR one more time I may scream. What frustrates me is if they would just say “well, as a family we often have kids all over the houses” then I can see everyone needing equal space. But they’ve never said that. She shouldn’t get the same budget. Period. And if she thinks so, she’s an asshole.
I have not watched all of the seasons, but my understanding of polygamy is life together (sharing houses, and etc.), and not life apart. I feel the four houses make them neighbors, not sister wives.
I’ve said before here that the only reason that there is no longer polygamy in the Mormon church is the federal government told them Utah will never be let into the union if that was still part of their doctrine. Lo and behold the elders had a revelation about no more polygamy and the following year Utah was made a state. So truth be told the Browns are practicing the religion as it was meant to be.
That being said, @Sal is right. They are not truly Sister Wives at this point but a bunch of baby mamas. If you cannot have all your wives under one roof without bloodshed then you aren’t living by the tenets of your faith. But personally I think they’ve been making the shit up as they go along for a couple of years now. You cannot expect your kids to follow your faith when you don’t.
Oh and Kody….you are truly an ass. They are too nice to you. If you were my husband I would have told you to kiss my ass a looooong time ago.
