Sister Wives
Sister Wives, 2020 New Season
New episode 1& 2 and 10 years of my life wasted……
I’ve
been watching Sister Wives since the beginning for one reason and one
reason only; “Big Love” was one of my FAVORITE shows of all time. I
loved Bill, Barb, Margene (never Nikki….I actually have a really funny
personal story on that if anyone cares to hear😂).
Sister Wives started at the tail end of Big Love, and totally rode it’s
coat tails. From the similar intro, to the similar storyline (3 wives,
courting a 4th, first wife couldn’t have more kids, etc). But one major
problem with Sister Wives- nothing really happens. (There’s no real
life Roman Grant). Sometimes they move, they’re always in debt…there
are kids running around all over…some of them get married and now
they’re even having grandchildren. I find it to be a good zone-out show
to put on while I do other things (kind of like the Duggars).
In
Sunday’s episode, (aka 90 Day Interruption), they took a wall down
memory lane to rehash their “love” story and how they came to be as a
family, for anyone new to the show. In my humble opinion, Kody currently
looks better than he has in the past. The beard is a better look for
him, though his effortless looking scrunch-and-go-curls that probably
take him a half hour to do are still pretty bad. It really beats the
oddly sculpted facial hair a season or 2 ago, and the man bun.
Anyway, the only new thing to happen, was that they moved to Flagstaff
without selling any of their houses in Las Vegas, and they jumped in a
mud pit. Is there anything else I’m missing?!
Then at some point,
Meri was allegedly kicked out of her enormous rental house for being a
polygamist. I’m skeptical that was the reason, and would almost bet that
her neighbors didn’t like the production crew around or something to
that effect.
The second episode from this past Sunday was slightly
more interesting, because Meri rented a new giant house with an elevator
for ya know, one person. There are 17 kids, 3 other wives, Robyn’s over
here worrying if her meat is going to go bad in her spare
refrigerator…but don’t worry, Meri. You enjoy your giant private house
for one.
The previews for next week hint at more counseling for
Meri and Kody, which seems pointless. And if someone brings up the
catfish story again…….I cant with that! 😂
Especially since she expected everyone to be understanding of what she
was going through when her potential affair-turned catfish went South.
Meri should just move on and see the family for the holidays.
I actually feel Meri got a bad deal all around ! The other wives treat her like she has the plague! I think her attempt at the “catfish” fiasco was her way of trying to get out from under her situation with Kody. She was looking for a way out however , it backfired. And yes, let dead dogs lie!
Now on a happier note, she has a booming Lularoe business, and I joined her group out of curiosity. She has live feeds several times a day selling her Lularoe line. I saw an entirely different Meri!! She is upbeat, friendly, funny, carries on a conversation with her followers and looks great! She has a whole new personality in this environment! I happen to like Meri and wish she would get the hell out of Dodge and be her own person, She is smart and intelligent and is building a successful name for herself. She doesn’t need the self-serving people she is surrounded by on that show any longer! 🙂
Erica so glad you are reviewing this show too! I’ve been watching since day one waiting for something to actually happen. But you are right – it makes for good background noise while doing something else, but I still can’t stop watching. Keep blogging my friend!!
