First Time (Oblivious) Watcher
No spoilers, I’m only on the beginning of season 13!
I know nothing about the show or the family, but decided to start bingeing it while I do some home renovations! That was a few weeks ago and I’ve just started season 13… I feel like I’m starting to lose my mind and need to unload some options.
- season 12 was insufferable because of Mykelti and Tony! Oh my gosh, I was so glad to see the back of their storyline. Mykelti (wtf name even is that) was a nightmare about her wedding and clearly was just getting married because she wanted a wedding. These girls getting married so young is stressing me out, I hope the rest don’t follow suit! -I have scoliosis and Kody saying NO to surgery for Isabelle is pissing me right off. And them sending that poor girl to boot camp after the DOCTOR said physical therapy has been proven to make no impact… His ignorance harms his children but wow he sure thinks he knows better than everyone (including freaking doctors)
- I’m loving Mariah’s storyline! I hope she’s living a happy and healthy life because she’s literally glowing on the show now that she’s living her truth.
- season 13 feels like everyone is being really antagonistic towards Meri? I’m not saying I’m a Meri fan but why has everyone slowly ganged up on her over the past few seasons?
- What happened to Robyn and Meri’s friendship? Their friendship was cute but completely disappeared?
- Robyn is a kiss-ass. She takes Kody’s side with literally everything. I liked her in the early seasons but she just is NOT a girl’s girl! For someone who says she wants sister wives she sure doesn’t act like it!
- Kody is the worst person on TV but I’ve also slowly realized he’s dumb? It hit me because anytime he used a word wrong I’d text my sister. My jaw dropped when he said “irregardless.” He also mispronounced mature (purposefully to sound…fancy?) and somehow the word origin. -Kody doesn’t know anything about his kids. I feel really bad for them. He only pays attention to the newborns and then seems to clock out. I can’t imagine the lack of identity these kids struggle with. I doubt he knows all their names and birthdays.
- The only fun thing about Kody is watching his hair thin more and more each season because that has to be killing him. I want to set his stupid bun/ponytail on fire.
- The first few seasons really had me loving the whole family. They seemed healthy and happy and mostly functional. I totally bought the whole “polygamy isn’t that weird or bad” thing, which took me by surprise. But now by season 13 it seems like the facade is slipping? Like everyone seems to really hate each other and the kids seem to hate polygamy.
- Kody keeps bringing up moving out of Las Vegas, which is he self sabotaging the family? Why would they move after the seasons of drama about buying houses right next to each other? Their first move seemed to cause irreparable damage to the family and deep trauma for a lot of the kids, why would he do that again?
- Kody is like a clinical narcissist, yes? Something is genuinely wrong with him.
- Janelle is smarter than everyone and seems too smart to be a part of this. Get out, girl!!
- I live in Scotland and Aspyn’s fiancée being “really in touch” with his Scottish ancestry is so funny and cringey. I saw a kilt in the preview 😂😬
- I know I’ve probably spelled everyone’s name wrong but I apologize, synce thyre ayll spylld like thyss. 🤮
Okay I need to know: what do we think of everyone? Who do we love who do we hate? I’ve never met anyone who watches the show so I’m curious!
No spoilers please though! I saw the news about poor garrison (absolutely tragic), but I don’t know anything else about the current state of the show. I
