“Same shit, different day, TAKE TWO!!”

So apparently the life of the Brown family has been so ho-hum that we get not one but TWO Q&A episodes this season! TLC, are you even trying? Yes, we’re all curious about this family, but we can learn more about them as we watch their day to day lives. Did anyone learn anything earth shattering this episode? I didn’t. Also, perhaps next time you could get questions from people who have actually seen the show. Half of the people who presented video questions seem to be random people approached in a casino:

“Sure I’ll ask a question about some TV show if you get me another scotch. What’s it called? Mister Hives? Who the hell is Mr. Hives?”

At least this time a selection of the teens are answering questions too. It’s like TLC built a time machine, read my whining about the show, and then structured the season to address each issue in real-time. SPOOKY!

As a lead-in to excuse their laziness, the producers acknowledge that the Browns have acquired a level of fame; the family is often approached by fans who ask then lots of questions:

“Thanks for being on TV without being self-absorbed celebutantes who make me want to hang myself! How are you guys? Are you really married? How is Bill the Trainer? Can I come over and use your pool?”

I will be in Vegas in two months, and I hope that if I run into the S-dubs, I am not wasted. Lucky for myself and the Browns, we probably won’t cross paths.

Unless the Browns hang out around the gutter of the strip, I won’t see them. This guy is keeping the pavement warm for me.

First question! Ernesto in Las Vegas – he wants to know if any of the teens are dating yet:

 “So, are you guys like 18 yet, or what?”

I hope Ernesto is not asking for himself. You don’t want Kody as an in-law, bro. Okay, so Ernesto is probably not asking because he’s looking for a date. He’s just curious, and I have to admit, so am I. Crickets chirp as the teens all try to look invisible:

 “Pleasedontaskmepleasedontaskmepleasepleaseplease…”

Janelle says she has her suspicions and everyone looks at Logan. OOOOH does Logan have a girlfriend?? He’s darling, I’m sure there are lots of girls into him. Robyn asks him if it is getting serious – does that mean he DOES have a special lady? Logan says you get burned when you get serious. Ah, the struggle of the nice guy during his teen years. If Logan’s girlfriends have been anything like most teenage girls, they got sick of him super fast once they realized that there’s no drama (and no sex or drugs) when you ride the Logan train.

Thanks to the interrogation by multiple moms at once, Logan lets it slip that he has kissed this anonymous girlfriend and everyone goes wild. At least I think he did; he said yes then no. I leave it to you weigh in.

“OOOOOOOOOOOHH Logan and Anonymous sitting in a tree!”

Kody says that kisses have a price, and the Robin asks if he is being careful. Careful doing what? You know they’re not having sex. Logan tries to take the spotlight off of himself and asks why they don’t query the girls? Aspyn says she just hangs out, and Mariah says that the last time she was alone with a boy, it was on accident. Me too, Mariah. Me too.

Meri says that dating can be safe; what are they so afraid of??. Kody says mom and dad want to be involved in the dating until they are 21, and Madison says 18. Kody weighs in – he feels like that while they are under his roof, he has a right to know about their love lives. If there is kissing involved, he wants to know so that he can counsel them and help them understand that these things do have consequences. WHAT CONSEQUENCES??

Oh, that’s right. You don’t have to bump uglies to get herpes.

P.S. I FUCKING HATE COLD SORES! Robyn, you’re my sister in CSP (Cold Sore Pain)

Kody isn’t just talking about the face herps, he wants to counsel them on the emotional impact of intimacy. Okay, I can get on board with that. Maybe not coming from Kody, but in principle . He promises to be cool about it. No one has the heart to point out that demanding to know about your kids’ love lives is incredibly un-cool to teenagers, who have zero interest in discussing their love life with their dad. You can tell they’re thinking it:

“I’m not like a regular dad, I’m a cool dad! I wanna rap about heartbreak, and cold sores, and the heartbreak of cold sores!”

“This is the most UN-cool thing I’ve ever heard.”

 “It’s really cute that you think we would EVER tell you what is going on in our lives.”

Next question! Are the people in Vegas more or less accepting of their unique family than the people in Utah? They all agree that Vegas is more laid back and the general motto is live and let live. I’m telling you, no one hates polygs more than Mormons. That, and Vegas is not the place where people are easily shocked, I’d wager.

Next question: what issues do the family butt heads on the most? Madison says there are a lot, specifically “church.”  WHAT? You guys don’t want to go to home-church?!?! WHY?? The teens say that they don’t like going to family church because their dad is either cranky or crying. They leave out the obvious: the best part of church when you’re a teen is youth group and hanging out with the other teens. The dating prospects at home church are nil, so why go?

    Why do they do these Q and A shows? They are so boring!! I’d rather watch the teenagers sit around talking at a Starbucks, or Cody run up and down the streets to the four closets looking for his favorite orange sherbert shirt for 30 minutes than put up with this yawner show!

    Maybe them being boring is supposed to be on purpose? To show that even though they’re polygamists their life us just as uninteresting as regular people. Except for the part about being from TV and getting nervous about Media Week.

    I was disappointed they didn’t tell us more about their special Mormon safer kissing rules. Are they supposed to put Saran wrap on their face 1st or what?

    The part about people in Vegas not judging them as much did make me feel better though. About them all getting up rooted. Because you’re right about regular Mormons and polygamy. They’re more embarrassed about that than the stuff about everybody that’s not whitesome and delightsome being marked by the curse of God.

    You’re also right about the only place kids from religious families are even supposed to talk to other kids being at their religious events. Any religion. At least the Browns let theirs go to school and talk to kids there. So it’s good to know they’re not as bad off as they could be.

    The other day you said something about Bozo caring about how his kids feel or something. For a while I thought maybe it’s just that you’re nicer than me. Like most people are.

    But then when he just threw away that sweet story of the 2 girls that bonded and turned into real sisters I thought Nah. I was right the 1st time. Like the way he says I instead of we. When he’s supposed to be talking about him and the swives. Oh and you didn’t miss him saying anything else about the sisters. Because he didn’t. Honey Badger don’t give a shit!

    I hate having to agree with Robyn. But they’ve got a better chance at making rent if they learn a trade. At least if they’re planning to stay in USA. For a lot of reasons that aren’t about TV.

    ‘Kody sums it up by saying that you should exploit the things that are wonderful and ignore the things are not. I don’t even have the words to express how much this annoys me.’

    I’m right there with you LB. I wanted to go thru thru the tv and pull his Sammy Hagar hair when he said this. It’s like he thinks he gets a free pass to act like a douche because he has 4 wives though I do believe Meri and Robyn are on board with this ridiculous statement.

    Logan is known to the teenage girls of Nevada as “The Plumber”.

    If you know what I mean.

    And I think you do.

    Like I have said before I want to follow this show forever. I want to see which ones choose plural marriages. The only one who has said for sure is Meri’s daughter. I think that they all love having so many siblings but they see how lonely it can be for the wives. They really seem like great kids.

    I’ve never watched this show but this season something I watch comes on before it so I see the “scenes from last week” before the dvr cuts off. And every single time, every single woman is crying. Except for one who looks angry. They’re all sitting on a couch crying. Or walking down a driveway, crying. It cracks me up because the guy just looks perplexed in a douchebag way.

    My vote is that Robyn wasn’t comforting her “bestie” because the attention wasn’t being heaped on her and there was really nothing in it for her and even the original “Attention Whore (but not in a skanky whore way)” knew it was way not cool to shout “I’ll move into your house when you kick it, Meri!” after Meri’s story.

    The first season I didn’t really like Janelle – she seemed like too much of a gold fish. Little did I know that in actually she is a badass! Now I love her, especially now that I read the story about how she picked up and left and made a life for herself but came back not for DoucheDad but so her kids would be with their siblings. You just keep on keepin’ on Janelle.

    With the money they’re bringing in from the show, I’m sure the clan could build a 4-wing house to share rather than pay 4 separate rents. Maybe find condos in the same complex, buy an apartment building and knock out some walls, etc. (Does any of the wives have construction experience? You *know* Kody won’t dirty his fingernails with real work.)

    Speaking of which has Kody ever held a job? Even before the show? I saw the real estate episode where he was whining about having to do the “dirty work” like hanging an Open House sign before he could get into the selling (fun) part of the job. Other than that, he hasn’t shown any interest in contributing to the family financially.

    He’s like a 15-year old boy with a sense of entitlement and no connection to the real world.
    Witness the constant grin, no matter what emotion those around him are experiencing.
    The obvious priority his hair and sports car take over anything else.

    The expectation that everything will be taken care of for him by the wives – he seems to make no contribution to home maintenance, child care, or anything else other than having a good time.

    I almost gagged when he went through his requirements for a son-in-law. “Must be able to hold a good job and support his wife, etc. ”

    I didn’t recognize Kody in any of the points on his list. Maybe he wants to be sure none of the daughters end up with a sea slug like himself.

    @Tapnfeet99 No one is wondering that. You seem needlessly rude as hell. Anyone else wondering how a dickbag like this learned to type in complete sentences? Anyone wondering why the jerk took up space for four posts when he said nothing of any importance?

    Any one of those questions would have been enlightening on the Q+A than “What are the wives’ favorite foods?”

    As long as you keep picking Robyn and Kody apart,you won’t notice that-some men say stupid things when emotional things happen. The women are crying over Meri’s story-4 women crying. Robyn is wiping away a tear. I like Robyn. I don’t see the problem except that she and Christine are the prettiest. She seems to have had a difficult divorce. It gave her some extra grit. Then she took the leap to trust again. She trusted a part-time husband,and 3 full-time sisters. If I were her- and at my age,I have had a lot of difficult life experiences- I would settle for the 3 sisters aspect. Men ALWAYS let you down. That’s a given. Jesus wasn’t happy with his father. Mary-not that happy with Joseph. Cain and Abel? Adam and Eve? Over a damn pomegranate? And who started that fight-A male Godhead? I’ll take a sisterwife, anyday.
    The greatest successful ” divide and conquer ” in the history of the world has been the war between Mars and Venus. We ware taught from childhood to aspire to marriage-big white $100,000 wedding. Doves. We are given bride dolls.
    Boys-guns,math,excel, be better, warrior, Football,go kill, don’t communicate-just grunt and show your muscles-if you couldn’t cut the math,or what-ev. My husband pretends he can’t hear me.
    After 40 years of hearing NO ANSWER or “Hm.”…
    “Cool” ,my peeps, would be a dream come true.
    “Cool”. would Not be shallow or insensitive. It would be Fucking something. It would say-”4 wives-and I’m still listening !”
    Because I have a man who has-NOT 19 kids and 4 wives.It’s just me. And he has selective inattention Do you really think,most of us,after sticking with the doofus of our choice,for 40 years,3 kids,tragedy,etc.can leave?
    How many of you actually talk back to your husband (or are women?) and how long have you been married?
    And who is the wage earner?
    I am female,unemployed-first because my in-laws moved in 2 weeks after the wedding (They couldn’t make it for the wedding so they stayed for the honeymoon and tried to stay for the divorce.)After that,I followed my husband’s career, stayed home for my children,and became a chronic pain whatever by 1979. Life over. In case you wonder how come she couldn’t work? I was a ballerina,with a disintegrating spine. I can stand up for 5 minutes at a time. Bitter? Don’t ask.And yes-I love my husband,and when one after another disaster ,foreclosure,bankruptcy,unemployment,floods,(do I hear locusts?) 3 lawyers who absconded, 0 friends and neighbors, cabin fever and death doesn’t intervene,we get along brilliantly. I’m sure the Browns do too. Would you like to be put under a microscope? Words words words.
    Skinny/slim/ starved. Fat/plump/obese/tall /gangly/lanky/ shrewd/sly/sneaky
    There’s a commercial on TV. I don’t remember what they are selling .I hardly ever do. I grade effectivness. It’s a graduation commercial. Black man and son. Must be a cell phone family plan. They say barely anything. There are subtitles in “manspeak.” Find it. That’s my point.

    Agree Ashash: Tapnfeet99 = douche.

    Notwithoutmytv: I’m obviously more niave than I thought…what is a “plumber”?

    Janelle = First degree asskicker. Like, Ripley kind of asskicking. Love her.

    Also, I love how easy it is to know which kid belongs to which mom because of the uncanny resemblences! And it’s nice to get a little perspective on how Little Meri, Little Janelle, Little Christine must’ve looked.

    Since Vegas is divided unequally, I wish we had heard questions from the majority. Vegas was founded, financed and owned by Mormons who are the majority living very nicely off of those of us who fly in to give them our money. They would have had interesting questions if they had been in the casino to ask them, and they were too busy raising their families and making money to ask. Or to care.

    TaterMom, it is sad that you have had a rough life. Lots of us have. What doesn’t kill us makes us strong. I am a very strong woman without a trace of bitterness.

    I think the kids especially are terrific, and the moms have done wonderful things raising them Each and every one. Can’t say Kody has done much as a dad mainly because it wouldn’t be easy to be a hands-on dad one week out of a month.

    Thanks notwithoutmytv. Why is everyone so sensitive? This is a satirical commentary website. We don’t come on here to be PC. BTW, i was on acne meds as a teen. You are allowed to joke about it. Part of the hideousness we have to go through as teens. And geez, this is one of my favorite shows and families so chill out!

    @KartofflMuter – your post made me sad. :( Maybe I’m a lucky one, ALL the MEN in my life haven’t failed me. I was taught I could be anything I wanted to be, my daddy loved telling me I was pretty when I was wearing a pretty dress, but he also enjoyed teaching me the difference between a running back and the quarterback. I’ve had men fail me in my life, but I’ve had plenty of women fail me, too. And I’ve had men who have stuck by me and loved me through the worst. Sorry, your post may be true for YOU, but it’s not true for the world and everyone else.

    And if you didn’t want comments, why post on a site full of…you know, people who comment?

    As far as Logan needing acne medicine – my sister had the same problem and made the choice to try and live with it until she was in college. I wonder if Logan has just decided it’s not worth it to really “fight his acne”. OR – this IS with him “fighting it” (poor kid). I think he’s pretty cute, anyway, but it isn’t an easy thing to live with as a teen…

    Ok I am going to assume that this shit is shot out of order because, it the epi where the older kids went to Utah for spring break, when they were all talking on the couch Logan looked like his face had cleared up..but then sometimes they show him with how his face looks in that picture…Oh to be a teenager again…those akward years…I hate to say this but it is either going to be Logan or Hunter that go down that crazy path and end up with a baby momma soon! You know Janelle would be pissed at first, but then she will be like, ok, now what can we do to provide for this new addition…Yay for Janelle getting her RL. It is nice to see that one of them is actually working!!
