Curtis makes a joke about bringing on the ladies, and of course they all jump on it and tease him. Robyn brings it to Erica’s attention, and if it was anyone else this would not annoy me. It’s Robyn, however, and I’m still feeling sketchy about her:

“Erica, did you hear?” She’s probably not trying to start shit, but I can’t tell anymore. Robyn is the Kaiser Soze of Sister Wives.

Curtis’s wife is all “hahaha HELL NO!” Backstory: Curtis was already been struggling with whether he shared his family’s faith and then he met Erica and it sealed the deal for him to walk away from his family’s faith. He and Erica are Christian and monogamous. Curtis acknowledges that it makes Kody and Scott sad that he has not followed in their footsteps, but that they don’t love him any less.

The Brothers Brown motorcycle tour ends at the oldest bar in Las Vegas – someone fact check that please. Kody rides the grandpa bike while Curtis rides the more macho bike with Scott in tow:

Queasy Rider

The ladies have decided to show Erica a super Vegas time…Brown style!  I have a feeling that means more crafts and less blackjack and showgirls, and I’m right! Doing Vegas Brown style involves ceramic painting and probably a trip to Applebee’s. Ain’t nothin wrong with that! Far less regrets involved than a baldy Vegas trip.

Janelle teases Meri that she’s not crafty at all. Meri keeps moaning about it, and I hear her. She’s doing her best. She’s making plates, Christine is making a flower pot, Janelle is making some kind of bowl, and Robyn’s making juice goblets…TWO juice goblets. Everyone who is making a special gift for her husband, raise your hand!

“As soon as I finish with this sponge, I’ll get my hand in the air!”

Erica tells the ladies that she feels blessed to have the Browns for in-laws, and that wherever the Browns go, you know there is a party. She was apprehensive about meeting them the first time, but found them to be wonderful. Erica is also not crafty. She describes her piece better than I ever could.

Erica’s piece titled “Bird Poop on a Sidewalk” – her words, not mine. I was thinking more “Spoiled Cheese”

The boys roll into the saloon, and Curtis is going to get them drinks – booze for him, ice water for Kody and Scott. Scott is clearly really uncomfortable being in a bar. Curtis handles their order like it’s no big deal and people order water at manly saloons all the time. The bartender is initially “WTF!?” The Browns win him over with their friendly charm.

“I’m sorry, did you just order water? Is this a joke?”

Kody tells us that as the oldest, Scott has always had to toe the line and set an example for the others; Scott always follows the rules. Kody lost his words for a moment and Meri had to remind him that the word he was looking for was rules. Kody is more of a rule bender. Color me not shocked at all. Point is, Scott is more serious because he has to be. Remember this tomorrow, it’s important for the recap.

Curtis asks Kody how he has been, and Kody opens the floodgates. The real estate situation is not great, the financial situation is not great. Scott commiserates with Kody on how hard it must be to live separate. Scott’s family is mindful of the fact that they are one family, not two.

Not Pictured: The giant weigh lifting off Kody’s chest after talking to someone who he neither fathered nor married.

Curtis thinks it is a good thing that Kody is getting some guy time in because he is surrounded by women. He knows he could not deal with having more than one wife. Curtis is simple and wants a simple life. Kody is complicated and wants a complicated wife.

    Great recap as always, LadyB. Don’t think it would be much fun to be married to old Scary Scott. Taking one’s responsibility to be a role model for one’s adult brothers goes a bit far. He just doesn’t seem to be a fun person.

    What would you bet that his wives are not Gasmi?

    On the other hand, wouldn’t it be great to turn Sister Wives into the Family Brown? I like this epi better than any other.

    Robyn is becoming annoying.

    Was that P-90 the sister wives bought him fully automatic? Usually, only semi-auto is legal unless you have a dealer’s license, but they are in Nevada, so who knows?

    Firing at that range DID look fun. Not even the patented Boring Brown effect can completely leach the excitement out of firing an automatic weapon. I bet if I went there and paid extra, I could use my own targets with Bethenny Frankel’s face on them.

    I think the oldest bar in Vegas still serving is the Atomic Lounge.

    Harking back to the age of atomic testing as history would make QEII sneer, but, hey, we Yanks have to take what we can get.

    I just can’t support any religion that doesn’t allow alcohol!!

    I found it annoying that the wives were all ‘oh Kody needs a guys night’. He picked this lifestyle and chose to have 4 wives so I can’t stomach his complaints about how hard it is on him!

    Looking forward to part 2. Janelle was always my fav but her attitude about Logan using foul language endeared me a bit more.

    It was great seeing the kids, I agree. They add so much LIFE to the show. I was surprised to hear that Mariah is definitely planning to have sister wives. Maybe she suspects she may only be able to conceive once as well?
    I thought Erica was a sweetheart and it was nice to actually be able to relate to someone in this family. I sometimes feel bad for Robyn in scenarios like this where the extended family obviously has a history with Kody’s other wives that she just doesn’t have ….and pretends to – and then she gets daggers from the other wives. Overall I think Robyn is sneaky and manipulative but I felt kinda bad for her tonight. Nice catch on the goblets, LadyB!!!

    Ummm. B! I’m soooo over Kody!

    But I do want to see more of Scott! I can see he has a little rebel with a cause in him & I likey! I’m sure his family loves him & supports his decision…now, but because of the sermon he gave, methinks that wasn’t always the case. He clearly had some lack of support from his family when he 1st decided not to follow their faith, judging by what he said & how passionate he said it. But, IMO, all that matters is regardless of how they felt about it, they fully support him now.

    But then again, I could’ve COMPLETELY misconstrued that scene. Eh

    And good job trying to make that motorcycle ride look badass TLC! We got a real chuckle out of that music they were playing.

    My husband (who only watches because he has no other choice..ahem..& thinks Kody is a fraud with his own playground which he is disgusted by for some reason) & I were watching it together, & when Christine said they were going to show Erica (?) their Vegas style fun by going pottery painting…this was our conversation:

    Me: (grabs his leg) Whoa
    Us in unison (with hand gestures): CALM DOWN! (@ literally the same time)
    H: Think of the kids
    Me: IKR! Doesn’t she know they will probably watch this shit!
    H: How do you explain why you’re being so out of hand ON CAMERA!
    Me: This is just too much!

    What? Not that funny to you? I guess you had to be there :-)

    BTW..about the expensive hobby thing…Christine has a $400 Kitchenaid mixer…so there’s that?

    Loved the recap! Waiting for the day when Janelle and Christine beat the shit out of Meri for bringing Robyn into the family.

    Kody with his ridiculous mop head has the best hair in the family!!!!! Maybe he is carefully plastering the bald spot with his ugly stringy strands!!! It surprises me a bit that he keeps it so long. With the conservative way the women have to dress you would think long hair would offend the polygys!

    I liked the brothers, but am I the only one who thought Michael looked like a white supremacist??

    Anywhoo, a big BOO to TLC for the Hunter tease- What a letdown that was! But Logan swearing? Way cool. I liked Janelle’s handle on it. I am liking her more and more- I can see her kicking BroDad to the curb in the future, you go girl!

    As always LB, an enjoyable recap.

    Now that you mention it… I think he and Scott both look a bit…off? I’m not sure, because I’m always wrong when I try to lable people.

    You are so right about the swearing. She is a cool mom, and I haven’t seen much of her. Either she’s quiet or not around when I’m watching. I’m liking the wives more and more. And sis-in-law is terrific, and half of a terrific couple. Especially since they have a drink now and then! Yay. Let’s hang out.

    @LadyBaldy Thanks for doing such an awesome job on this show! After I get through watching it lately, I need to ROFL and you always come through.

    It’s nice the brothers got to visit. But it reminded me of the disclaimer on TOWIE. These people are real but some of the situations have been set up for your entertainment. So I wonder if they got to do any regular visiting that wasn’t stunts for the show.

    Also they’ve lost me on the house hunt. Since the other 1 is just land, how would that be cheaper? Wouldn’t they end up spending just as much $ or more building on it? And all that time they’ll be paying rent for where they are now and the payments on the land. Not to mention paying the house builders.

    I think you’re right they should just go on back to Utah and get into 1 big house again.

    LOL I’ve got so suspicious of Robyn now that I roll my eyes at everything that comes out of her mouth. I think she does want something. But I’m not sure it’s for KDouche to divorce Meri and dump the swives so he can either monogomarry her. Or let her be the 1 on paper and pick him all new swives.

    Just like with the houses, what’s the advantage? What prize would she win? It wouldn’t be more time with Kid 18. He’d be running around even more trying to look like he’s still 1/4 of a father to all the rest of them. And they’d all be upset and confused.

    Including all of Robyn’s own babies. They’d be crying and confused too. Asking her what about all those brothers and sisters she said they had.

    So how come she’s conniving like that? What is it she’s hoping to get?
