   I was super excited to finally hear Christine explain why she wanted to be a third wife. She didn’t come out and say it but I believe that she saw third wife as the final wife. I would love to know did they all discuss the pros and cons to a fourth wife or does Kody just tell them all how it is going to be? I could follow this family forever. I can’t wait to see years from now which kids choose to live the same lifestyle.

   I am so intrigued by this show mainly because I can’t figure out how this lazy, unattractive douchebag got one woman to agree to marry him much less four!!!

   “my knee hurts like five bitches in a bitch boat.” HAHAHA! that is too funny, I can’t wait to get injured to use that (shin, meet dishwasher door, per usual).

   Can’t wait for the recap – this whole show still intrigues and I agree with mere2142 – how does this douche get so many women?

   janelle has always been my favorite wife but i do have some sympathy for christine. i feel like meri and especially robyn kind of put kody up on a pedestal. to me janelle kind of knows he’s a joke and doesn’t expect much out of him, which is why i get frustrated that she’s still with him. christine wants him to be a decent husband and at least seems to acknowledge he isn’t god’s gift. but good luck trying to make him into your perfect man. unless, of course, your perfect man looks like a metrosexual sammy hagar who sings bread songs to woo women (i guess my “why can’t this be love” theory from last week was way off) and acts like a twenty year old.

   Yay! I can’t wait for the full ‘cap!

   I’ve watched this show from day one and Christine has always been my favorite wife…she tells it like it is. I’m glad you’re coming around to her, LB. She is what I guess would be called in a polygamous marriage the “Difficult Wife”.

   Robyn drives me nuts she’s so damn passive and googly-eyed for Cody. Janelle has always been more like Cody’s BFF. They bond over work.

   Oh, and normally I like Meri but holy shit on a shingle, Batman, did she ever screw up THAT advice.

   I think Christine just had those romantic ideas from the get go. The kind of expectations you’d have for a love marriage.

   If Meri ever did, she’s been over it for a minute.

   And Janelle’s too smart to polygamarry somebody she’s got those kinds of personal feelings for.

   Robyn was in such a sorry ass situation, she might just be googly eyed about all of her babies getting food and some furniture.

   Hmmm..special dates with each wife.

   Meri gets her ligament screwed up during her skiing trip (Kody is a terrible teacher, btw) and is now laid up in bed for 6 weeks.

   Janelle (?) I think that’s her name – gets to hike around some red rocks. (Don’t get me wrong – I love hiking; I just think Kody is cheap) They both declare that they’re more in love with each other now than ever before.

   Christine…now Christine gets an entire paintball park to herself upon where she and Kody get to run around and shoot each other. AND, Christine also gets a helicopter ride over Vegas at sunset. Hmm…things seem a little uneven here. I guess he’s trying to spoil her again. She has to be the center of attention.

   And Robyn..the baby comes along and they have a quiet dinner.

   Conclusion: Religion is weird and stressful. And expensive.

   Am reading the mini-cap – gotta say I was happy that Christine owned her shizz. Funnily enough, I thought Meri’s advice was mostly good. Maybe I took it a different way. I thought she was just telling Christine that all she can do is change herself – trying to change someone else is futile & frustrating. Sometimes when we change our reaction to a situation, the other person winds up reacting in a better way.

   When I listened to Meri talk, it reminded me of CBT and DBT psychological therapy, and I wondered if she had dabbled in it in order to “deal” with her unconventional marriage.

   Leslilly, I think in the first season, Meri was going back to school, and I thought it was for psychology or something like that. I think she wanted to be a teen counselor….I could be wrong, it was a few years ago…

   I have not really liked Christine from the start, but she is actually owning up to her crap. I am glad that she is going to tell Robyn how she feels. Yes I can kind of see where Christine is coming from. When DownTown started dating Robyn, Christine was pregnant with Truely. I can understand( ok not exaclty 100% understand as I have not had babies yet, but you get my point) where she is coming from. Her she is about to have a baby, and her “husband” is out on dates with another woman, a younger, skinnier one at that. When we all know that he should be at home with Christine….

   Can someone please tell me how old everyone is? We saw that Meri was turning 42, and they did say that she was 19 when they got married. I am under the impression that Janelle and Christine both came along soon after. Well not right after because if my math is correct Meri and DTKB have been Married for 23 years.

   LB looking forward to your recap
