There is coming a new monument to the United States, similar in theme and design to Mount Rushmore, that of the oracle of wisdom Kody Brown. His carved image will, as always, be surrounded by the lesser images of four women all fawning over him like lemmings.

In the arena of the genre of so called "reality" TV, there is a vast wasteland of garbage and idiocy. However, some of these reality TV shows manage to slither into sewers and crevices even lower than the rest. Sister Wives, featuring Kody Brown the holy oracle of polygamy along with his patriarchal empire, is the epitome of moronic reality shows.

If this sloppy mess of distressed emotions and constant social conflict was meant to put polygamy in a good light, it fails miserably. Kody can make up phrases like "multiple marriage" to legitimize his world of confusion," but the reactions of his four wives (one legal and three he calls "spiritual") belie his false pretense of harmony and success. And multiple marriage means exactly the same thing that polygamy does.

Nothing is ever calm in the four neighboring households "on the cul- de-sac" that defines Kody's realm. None of his kids seem happy, and one by one are moving as far from him as they can get. The women are griping all the time, and of course, instead of blaming his royal highness they stage childish cat fights among themselves to increase his ego of having women fighting over him. Listening to their carefully prepared speech is irritating too; you can just see Kody's disheveled hair and squinty eyes staring at them threateningly while they talk.

One could go on and on about how trashy these people and their arrangement are. Suffice it to say there are many other TV channels you could be watching instead of these imbeciles.

I used to love this show and I just love Christine and Janelle and Meri, I do wish Meri would have left sooner but I understand, I cannot stand Cody he talks out of both sides of his mouth he is a liar and I'm sure he'll try to screw him over with that land he just makes me sick I can't stand him and that big cry baby he's with she's so full of it she can cry and boohoo all she wants but I seen women like her all my life. It's to the point now if you all don't get rid of them too I'm just not going to watch it anymore and a lot of my friends feel the same way. You could make a great show with Janelle and the kids and Christine and her new life and Mary and her new life. I don't think Cody should make another dime from the show. Matter of fact after next week if y'all decide to keep him I'm just going to quit watching. And I'm telling you I'm not the only one that feels this way he is disgusting human being. And so full of it. And Cody you're not all that trust me.

I am so tired Kody trying to make himself look good. He push three wives away. They've known for years that Robyn is his favorite wife. I'm glad to see them finally standing on their feet for themselves and their children. I haven't seem him leave for work one day. But he wants the wives to be loyal even when he's not attracted to them and has no sexual desires to them. He just failed at this plural marriage mess. These women love him he could care less about anyone who isn't Robyn. Maybe he needs to go to the church and let them show him what to do. They have been living in Flagstaff still not one house have they broken ground on. He needs to get his ass out there and get a job. Robyn is his perfect wife.

It's hard to tell if the drama is real or if it's for the sake of ratings..?? If the point in going public was to prove that polygamy works, this show fails. Miserably. The women are ALWAYS at odds crying, pouting and complaining about something. They keep track of what the other wives get for birthdays and anniversaries. Jealousy is front and center at all times and they have a therapist on call, if that tells you anything.

All of the wives have a specific role. Meri is the old friend (well, was the old friend). Janelle is the cash cow. Christine is the mother hen that raises the kids. Robyn is the bedroom wife.

If you've read that Robyn is the favorite, that is accurate. Kody only cares about Robyn, especially in the later seasons. The family seemed **somewhat** happy in the 1st season before Robyn came along. Everything fell apart after that. Robyn cries non-stop and acts like she's been the #1 since the beginning. She acts like she knows Kody better than anyone. She would be thrilled if the other wives just disappeared. She is now the legal wife, her kids are legally bound to the family and she has the biggest and nicest house. Kody spends all of his time at Robyn's house and complains that the expanding amount of jealousy of the other wives "ruins" his time with Robyn.

Meri is annoying af. She whines that she doesn't have more kids then whines when Kody wants more kids then whines that she doesn't want more kids. She really sucks attention from her infertility. She had the option of fertility treatments AND a surrogate. She turned them both down after a YEAR of "thinking about it" then went back to crying in every interview about being an "empty nester". She demands to live in 5+ bedroom houses even though she lives alone. I would be livid if I were a sister wife spitting out kids for Kody like a brood mare and Meri lives like a queen in her mansion. Alone. The catfishing incident is also pretty stupid. She found a man online she wanted to leave Kody for. She was making plans to leave the family and was building her own life and income with the B&B. Her online lover turns out to be a woman and now Meri wants the fam to reassure and comfort her. Make her feel wanted again. She repeatedly talks to them about it like she expects them to console her while she grieves the loss of her make-believe boyfriend. You can't make this stuff up.

Christine is a good mom. Seems very insecure, but I can see why. Kody uses her to raise the kids. Kody has no interest in her and she knows it. So does the viewer. Kody makes little to no effort with Christine and it is obvious throughout the entire show. She is constantly trying to adjust her personality to appeal to him. She has a kind-hearted spirit and she is soft-spoken. She really seems like a great mom.

Janelle is the business partner. She helps Kody support all 57 of his kids and wives. Very independent and seems emotionally checked out most of the time. From what I've read, her kids are all going on to earn masters degrees. Clearly, she is also an amazing mom despite the Kody/Robyn/Meri mess. Her older kids seemingly have had enough of their dads obvious favoritism towards Robyn.

The bottom line? Polygamy seems absolutely miserable. I don't condemn their lifestyle, it's their choice. Nobody is being forced to be unhappy.
