   The Miki, love your recaps of TLC’s latest batch of freaks. I think Frat Boy is a loser. He suggests in vitro for a present for Wife #1′s anniversary and can’t understand why she says no. Obviously Frat Dad and his boys only think about 1 thing and it isn’t the feelings, needs or wants of wives one through three.

   It’s a good thing these wives have each other cause the Lexus driving Frat Boy couldn’t be bothered to help any of them. Just wait until #3 gets fat or pregnant, Frat Boy will be cruising for a bright, shiny, skinny lay. This guy is such an ass..

   Great job Miki

   Love the caption ‘The mating dance of the rare purple-breasted douche’

   This show is SO boring yet I’m completely intrigued by these people. I think it’s kind of shock that they are all so accepting of Bro-Dad and his douchey ways. I have yet to find a single redeeming quality about this guy. I suspect wives 1-3 will see less and less of him!

   I think wife #4 is a test. Bro-Dad is trying to see how far he can push the first three and get away with it. As soon as wifey 4 gets fat because she won’t have the stress weight loss or the excercise of chasing after those unmanageable kids (it’ll come quickly). Bro-dad will go out again and try on even more ‘poon until he finds the right one and they will be younger and younger and he will be Touchin’ Loving’ Squeezin’ across Utah. Then Meri goes into the insane asylum, Janelle is suffering in the hospital from diabetis and finally Christine and weepy kill each other with toasters.

   I think there’s more anxiety in the polig-fam than the three wives are letting on… and it’s leading to some serious eating as a means of self-soothing:

   “ooooo. I just KNOW that fornicating WHORE is giving my surfer dood doggy-style sex right now. Well, I’ll spend some quality time with my old friend Little Debbie. YOU’D never degrade yourself with my surfer dood, would you, Little Debbie?? [nom nom nom nom]“

   Have the first wives said just what douchebro gives to this family? Is he especially caring/empathetic/an animal in bed? Because I just don’t see it. As themiki so astutely pointed out the attraction for skinny wife is an end to her financial troubles and built in babysitting.

   Douchebro is just so…..damn smarmy and just reeks tool I just don’t understand how the hell he keeps getting women. And I did feel badly that wives 2 and 3 had tiny suckfests for wedding while Alpha and Trophy get the whole whoop-di-doo (including a white dress).

   Anyhoo -fabulous recap, themiki! You made it a funread (and loved your 80′s party picture, though you really needed a Zima or a Bartlyes & James in your hand to have made it authentic to the time )

   I am not going to watch this show but will gladly make you suffer through it, thereby reaping the rewards of a fab recap! Thanks for taking one for the team!
   After all this talk of the damn Lexus, I want a picture or at least the model. Is it a sedan, a 4 wheel drive, sportster, coupe? He needs his balls seriously busted if it is just a fun little 2 seater mobile. I am not a car person, so I could give a rat’s ass, but the hype on this car is killing me, I must see it

   I will sit through the show for you TheMiki, just like with that disastrous Scream Queens 2 show.

   This show really skeeves me out. I like Alpha Wife the best because she has put up with this garbage for a long time and seems the most detached out of the whole clan of women. She has her child and she is happy she got him first. I respect her for that and I wish I had the severe detachment that she does. She puts me to shame.

   I don’t understand how someone would want to marry multiple people. I mean, maybe it saves on divorces because if one gets mad at you and kicks you out, you have 843453 more wives to choose from. I would like to meet one just to try to understand because this show doesn’t do a good job explaining it sometimes.

   This was the final show …. I think they loaded them up 2 each week to get the idiots off television quicker. I also thought all the ugly dresses I saw from the FDLS community were homesewn. Little did I know they had a store full of nasty colored , horrible shaped dresses for sale in a place of business. Honestly, was there a single dress that looked normal to you all?

   I loved Zima.

   Sadly, we are now separated by a vast gulf of time.

   But my yearning lives on.

    @Angela, I just read two articles on AOL written by “sister wives.” One was currently in a plural marriage and the other had escaped one back in the ’70s.

    The current sister wife was very articulate and seemed intelligent. She was divorced, which is rare among Fundamentalist Mormons, and married a man who was married to her sister. That added to the weirdness, I think. She spoke positively about the companionship and support among the wives, but negatively about sharing her husband, especially since her sister resented that he seemed to favor the new wife. She found it to be quite stressful. She was also in the process of setting up a community center for the children of the community (on the Arizona-Utah border) so that they could express themselves through art, drama, and music. She had seen “Big Love” but said that she didn’t want to watch it because she was living it. She hadn’t watched “Sister Wives.”

    The other woman has written a book. She was married at 16 to a man who already had, I believe, five wives. They lived in poverty in Mexico, where he had built adobe houses for each wife. He and one of the wives worked in California, so he was absent a lot. I don’t think the wives had as much companionship due to living in separate houses. She spoke of the unbearable jealousy she felt when he was with the other women, especially when he took a new, young wife. She also said that she couldn’t believe this is what God intended because it made women miserable. Having multiple wives will gain a man a place in the highest level of heaven, but the women only get to live in heaven as his wives and continue to have children, which she didn’t view as much of a reward. She left after a few years, taking her child, and later remarried.

    I will try to find the links and the name of the book for you.

    @NWMT, I think you are so right about the wives eating due to stress and frustration. God bless Little Debbie, I say! It’s all they have, since Mormons can’t drink, smoke, use drugs, or even drink caffeine. I wonder if they can eat chocolate, since it has caffeine in it.

    @Pixielated Thank you! I know some about Mormons between my father, school, and the area where I grew up. (I believe that John Smith discovered the Book of Mormon in Palmyra, NY, about 10 miles from where I lived.) I read a book about it too but I didn’t like it. Made me feel dirty even though the girl and kids escape.

    The Miki – Love your recaps, I must say that I had never watched this show (Until TLC had a marathon on and I unfortunately had nothing else to watch) but read your recaps on them and usually laughed my head off! I must say that after viewing a few episodes I much prefer to read your recaps and will do so from now on, who needs to watch the show when you recap so wonderfully?

    P.S…. Idiot might drive a lexus, but did anybody notice the shot of sally struthers car? Duct tape holding up the window ya’ll!

    @whoochile – It is a little two seater if I saw it correctly in the wedding episode and I thought the same thing, man seriously needs to get his balls busted for it!

    Thank you Miki you are a strong person to stomach this show in its entirety. I can only take it in small doses. Usually after they show the big goober prancing around or dancing etc I need to leave the room and compose myself. The sight of him almost triggers a seizure. Does anyone else watching have this reaction? Mr Gomer or goober which ever, is just a caricature of himself. He is totally ON for the camera all the time. The poor wives do seem to be themselves but he honestly looks like a dimwit trying so hard to be a good actor. Oh dear, aside from those things I really love this putrid show! Love your recap Miki!

    Proda…I totally agree. He gives me the creeps. He is so fake and if you ever noticed him walking it’s always so his hair is moving around. I think he is proud of his hair (not sure why ) because he mentions it alot. When they talk he just sits and stares like he is listening but you can tell he coudn’t give a shit. The whole thing kind of makes my skin crawl. They should be happy for more wives so they don’t have to spend time with him !

    First of all, thank you for all your kind comments. I had no idea this was the finale until Flipit emailed me asking what show I wanted to do next. That was the fastest season of television in history. I think Firefly was on the air for longer than Sister Wives.

    @notwithoutmytv — That first comment made me spit coffee out of my nose. Official Comment of the Week Award goes to you. Congratulations. You win the internet.

    @Ohralphie — Dude, I actually went looking for Zima. For reals. I needed it to complete my costume. Sadly, it is no longer available.

    So I think my next show will be this whole Real Housewives of VH1 Rock Skanks or something. I dunno. Flipit pitched it to me, and I’ve yet to investigate further, but we all know how I love me some trainwrecks. Thanks again to everyone for reading and commenting and showing all the love. As much as this show sucks, I’m kinda sad to see the season ending. I’ll miss these little talks. **sniffle**

    Sally Struthers is proof of “Intelligent Design”: Joseph Smith’s god (or maybe it was the angel Maroni who drew up the blueprints) gave Sally eyes spaced out to the side of her head so she could spot more food. Especially Twinkies trying to escape into the underbrush.

    I’ve been secretly glad about one thing on this show: I haven’t had to listen to any dork say “I can’t believe so-and-so went home! There’s only XX of us left! The game just got real.” But then they had to go and talk about “stepping it up” on the Interview Couch(tm). Next, one of those tubby bitches is going to claim to be giving “250%” to the marriage…

    NWOMTV & mere2142–You two are funny. What would make this show much more interesting would be voting someone out and I would vote Bro Dad out first.
    This chicks would do much better with a man matured beyond age 19 for a husband. The simple fact this ‘head of the family’ idiot thought he could bring this tribe on television and not have repercussions tells us something about his inability to recognize DANGER. Sister Wife #1 has lost her job and the state is investigating ALL of you and measuring you for orange jump suits…….. collosal mistake douche bag.

    @ Giff – She lost her job cause of the show? Ouch! I found it hysterical when Yf3 was giving birth to the latest tribe member and they were explaining how they typically choose home birth so they don’t draw attention to their lifestyle. Did Douche-Dad not consider that when he signed up to be on a tv show?

    OMG, just found this online on Perez Hilton’s website; this is just getting more twisted every day!!!!

    Just when you thought Sister Wives couldn’t get any more disturbing, here comes the INCEST!

    Star Magazine reports that polygamist and reality show stars, The Brown Family, are more about keeping things within the family than we all thought. In a shocking twist, it was revealed that Kody Brown’s second wife, Janelle, was brought in as his wife shortly after she divorced her first husband – Kody’s first wife’s brother!

    What the what?

    In one BOMBSHELL of a secret, it was uncovered that Janelle was married to Adam Barber in 1988. Adam is Meri, Kody’s first (and only legal) wife’s brother. The two divorced only after two years of marriage and three years after that, Janelle joined Kody’s polygamist fam.

    A family insider reveals:

    “I know she was originally very upset over Janelle dumping her brother. I think there has been a lot of unspoken tension between her, Janelle and Kody all these years.”

    We’ll say! This adds a whole new level of gross to the equation! Seriously, this is like incest! How can they live like this??? So uncomfy!

    @Bola-I read about that on there. It kind of makes me realize how much Alpha Wife really is a badass. A) She obviously won’t sleep with BroDad or very little because she didn’t throw a cow when BroDad married Janelle B) She is so detached from the whole thing that it seems she doesn’t care at all. She is sick and tired of the way he is acting it seems and just wants him to end.

    If she wasn’t married to BroDad and I wasn’t married, I would marry her because man, that woman is AWESOME.
