“Survival” Kody takes a back seat this week, but Special Forces still has plenty of chaos to cover. Between a dam climb from hell, a simulated helicopter crash, and Teresa Giudice tapping out unexpectedly, it was messy enough to keep us watching - and it's good thing we did, because Kody eventually gets punched in the face multiple times.

“Behind Enemy Lines” Kody Brown has been the source of emotional distress for the Sister Wives viewing audience for years, and now we get to watch him suffer in primetime - and it's everything we'd hoped it would be. Special Forces kicks off with the ex-polygamist patriarch we all know and hate being verbally berated by drill instructors, dragged by his hair through the mud, and dangled out of a helicopter like a discount bin G.I. Joe. With his misogyny unphased, Kody fumbles through guided

“Chapters 29-Epilogue” In the final stretch of "Sister Wife: A Memoir," Christine takes us from the Coyote Pass pipe dreams in Flagstaff to the heartbreak of her dead-bedroom breaking point. We analyze her escape plan, the messy fallout with Kody, and how she was able to use a snowblower to forge a path to a new life with a drywall kingnamed David Woolley.

2025/09/15

“Chapters 13-28” This section makes it clear that Christine was done Kody's BS long before she ever left the family, but her path to freedom was paved in the challenges she had to fight alone. From confronting her struggles with addiction to navigating Robyn’s glaring favoritism and the rifts it caused, Christine explains just how isolating life in the family became. Add in her crisis of faith and Kody’s endless string of disappointments - it's heartbreaking to see how long she stayed trapped in

2025/09/08

“Chapters 1-12” Christine Brown Woolley’s autobiography, "Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom" is finally here - and we're loving it! This first section shows just how much she had to endure as Kody's third wife, particularly when it comes to oily body massages and awkward wedding nights. Join us as we give our two-cents about the ten cents that ended her friendship with Meri; her family history that's definitely (probably) not a cult, and her speed-run from disappointing

“Chapters 15-16 & Epilogue: Pages 235-269”We've reached the final installment of our Becoming Sister Wives book club, and what a messy, chaotic ride it's been! Even though the book raised more questions than it answered, we still have time for a few more regurgitated talking points thanks to Christine's media training. Robyn discovers the magic of television on the set of the Oprah show; and Kody squeezes in one last monologue for the epilogue - because it's all about ego, baby. This episode is

“Chapters 13 & 14: Pages 205-234”Meri and Janelle open up about the Brown family's jump into the limelight as they kick off the "Celebrity" section of the book. Lights, camera - but never without a stitch of makeup, Meri reflects on the chaos of starring in a reality TV program, the joys of meeting Matthew McConaughey, and living her dream of building a more accepting and tolerant world for Leon to enjoy. Janelle echoes (most of) Meri's sentiments from a strikingly similar writing outline, and

“Chapters 11 & 12: Pages 191-204” Christine and Robyn match Janelle's energy from the last chapter as they barely scrape together enough words to meet their publishing requirements. They still manage to cover riveting topics like: parenting punishment debates, toxic purity culture, and determining who has the best "hangout" house - all while Robyn loses her appetite whenever the teens drop by.

Surviving Sister Wives ·

2025/08/25

“Chapters 9 & 10: Pages 167-190” This week Meri and Janelle tackle “family” in their own signature styles. Meri frames herself as the no-nonsense disciplinarian (with some Kate Gosselin energy and couches that could survive the apocalypse), while also spiraling into empty-nest dread and grocery-shopping laments. Janelle on the other hand barely bothers to engage - offering a few surface-level thoughts on parenting and finances that feel more like first-draft filler than heartfelt reflection

2025/08/18

“Chapter 8: Pages 152-166”Robyn is just a broke, single mom with nothing to give ya until TLC conveniently swoops in to bankroll the dream wedding she couldn’t afford. Her hardships include multiple delayed wedding timelines, endless excuses, and a suspiciously long honeymoon that somehow solved nothing. Along the way, she leans on her favorite defense: that the other wives just don’t understand her; all while slipping into victimhood so effortlessly it almost feels rehearsed. This chapter showcases

Ep 302: "Becoming Sister Wives" Book Club: Chapter 7

Surviving Sister Wives ·

2025/08/11

“Chapter 7: Pages 136-151” Christine’s chapter is part honeymoon; part hostage situation. Between Kody’s selective hearing, Meri’s simmering tension, and a Nauvoo trip from hell - she’s juggling way too much while trying to keep the peace. After Robyn joins the family, Christine spends the rest of the chapter apologizing for feelings she’s completely entitled to have. Joseph Smith, take the wheel.

Surviving Sister Wives ·

2025/08/04

“Chapter 6: Pages 112-135”This week we cover Janelle’s descent into domestic chaos, cowboy disillusionment, and the emotional abyss of shared living with Meri. We track her people-pleasing resignation from anything that makes her feel emotion, all while Meri sharpens her passive-aggressive toolkit and Kody logs countless hours making "sales." Christine enters the fray, the family patterns get more obvious, and Robyn looms on the horizon like a bedazzled harbinger of future drama. This episode is

“Chapter 5: Pages 87-111”We’re back in Meri’s internal monologue and it’s giving: emotional avoidance with a side of spiritual martyrdom. While Meri fixates on betrayal from Janelle, Kody, and life itself - we noticed a deeper pattern: a woman piling on challenges not to grow, but to outrun the void. We dig into Meri's feud with Janelle, fertility grief, identity crises, and the Biggie Housie that somehow only magnified her invisibility. Just when things couldn’t get more complicated, it's Robyn to

Ep 299: "Becoming Sister Wives" Book Club: Chapter 4

Surviving Sister Wives ·

2025/07/21

“Chapter 4: Pages 64-86” This week, Robyn shows up and everything changes (not for the better). We cover the Robyn & Kody origin story, Meri’s enthusiastic cosign, and Janelle & Christine’s less-than-thrilled reactions. There are spiritual witnesses from God, divine signs from She-Rah, and another fast that ends with a proposal. Is it true love, divine inspiration - or just another round of Kody's greatest hits?
