Sister Wives

Anyone watch? I was enthralled enough that I held off watching Mad Men until the second showing. I found it disturbing yet could not stop watching.

Re: Sister Wives

  • i have it on the DVR but havent watched yet
  • It was full of hilarity! The toaster! Kody wandering into the wrong house in the morning! The THIRD sister wife is the ideal position!

    When they trotted Robin out, it started to feel like an episode of The Bachelor.

  • I don't understand how you begin "courting" someone who lives 4 hours away and then make it seem like a natural progression, like she just fell in to the family. I was dying laughing when they said the new baby's name was going to be Truely Grace Brown because "Truely Brown is just stupid".
  • Yeah, I could sort of get on board with the first three. They all met around the same time with the express purpose of living this lifestyle. But I'd be pissed/hurt if he was out courting a 4th. Seems like a slap in the face and like maybe the other wives should have been consulted. If it were truly an equal partnership, they would have been.

    I kind of hate Kody.

  • I thought it was pretty darn close to Big Love, but with less attractive people (lol).  Cody's hair is ATROTIOUS.  I can't help but be curious what is going to happen with these people in RL in their communities.  It doesn't sound like they are in a spot where every one is polygs so I wonder what the backlash will be.  Not to mention . . . it's illegal and the mormon church is supposed to excommunicate you and stuff.

    I'd kind of like a sister wife.  not really, but I can see how it would appeal.  I can go to work all day and make her keep house and make dinner.

  • I missed the first couple of minutes and turned it on when they introduced the second wife.

    What does Kody do for a living?  Does it explain how they seperate the house?

    Kody is in advertising of some sort and seems to have the freedom to work a lot one week and then take a long weekend another week.

    They show the house breakdown really well--third wife gets the "basement" (I wouldn't like that set up!), second wife gets right half upstairs, first gets left side upstairs.  Each area is independently set up with kitchens and bedrooms and whatnot and they are all completely connected with just a normal door between.  The house was designed/built by a polyg.

  • It's only illegal if he actually marries wives 2-4. He's only legally married to the first. And they aren't part of the Mormon mainstream church. Their church--FLDS-- broke with the Mormon church when it banned polygamy. But yeah, I'm curious about how the community and coworkers will react. What does he do?
    image
  • I didn't find it as interesting as I thought it was.  It was too much of a sanitized version of polygamy.  I think I'm way more fascinated by the people who were forced into the lifestyle than the ones who gleefully entered into it and go to a special school for kids of polygamy.  I do think the 4th wife is going to cause some drama though, so I'll keep watching.

    I was totally squicked out by how the kids responded to their dad telling them he was courting someone.  Serious douchechills.  Ew.

    The wife pregnant with Truely (because Truely A. Brown would be stupid!) has a serious Y addiction.  She should not be allowed to name kids.  Her second daughter had some weirdo name that didn't fit in with the rest.  I forget what it was, but when they said it my reaction was Huh?

  • Mykelti! Or something like that.

    Kody is making some serious bank with his Lexus and his 12 kids and 3 wives and active dating life.

    I'm learning a lot about the REAL FLDS with the compounds and stuff. THAT is interesting. I would watch a documentary about that.

    Yes, the kid that was maybe around 8 saying "Go get 'em tiger" when told about the new woman freaked me out.

  • It's so weird how he regards the difference between LDS and FLDS as the same as the difference between Catholics and Protestants.

  • I don't have cable, so I'll never see this.

    But I now have "Truely Scrumptious" from Chitti Chitti Bang Bang stuck in my head and I hate you all and Ian Flemming.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
