As we enter into a long family weekend together, we want to thank each of you for the prayers, love and encouragement you’ve sent our way. Since the residential treatment program ended, we have been working with a professional marriage and family counselor to take important steps toward healing. It isn’t easy and some days are very difficult. It is a long road to rebuild trust and a truly healthy relationship. We are very thankful for God’s forgiveness, grace and help, as it is our strength and guide to rebuilding our lives. As the future unfolds, we are taking one day at a time and we are grateful for your continued prayers for both of us and our sweet children.

This thread is pretty much the catch-all TLC thread. My wife's ALL over that catfish story, I think it's loving hilarious, in a 'yeah, not surprised' kind of way.

Also, dude's first, original wife is scary :stare:

EDIT: Also-also, I can't see dude and not think of Harlan William's line from Dumb and Dumber, 'You pumpkin-pie hair-cutted freak.'

Meri is like the textbook case of how polygamy sucks for women. Like all the check boxes are there but the light bulb never goes on in her head.

When her only kid went off to school she wanted another kid but Kody dithered around forever and didn't understand why time was of the essence for a 40+ year old woman and eventually that talk died out. Then he went off and had a kid with the youngest wife so no skin off his nose. And now Meri is old, lonely, and alone getting cat fished. She volunteered to get the legal divorce. While it was stated for good reasons, it was such an obvious cry for help and attempt to have people notice her. Oh and her and the second wife never got along because the whole polygamy and sharing thing was just weird for them so they just lived with awkward acceptance of each other all their lives

All the other wives have house fulls of kids so they ain't got time for her bullshit. So this 40+ year old woman with no job or career just lives alone in her 4 bedroom house in the desert puttering around counting down the days her husband makes his routine stop, like that sad old woman on your street who can't wait to talk to the mailman

I tired googling this show, and all the tabloids stories seem to need some back ground knowledge.

I've always thought that rather than being terrible, the worst thing a show (or movie, or song) can be is boring. Catfishing-aside, this show has that in spades.

You aren't getting outlandish stunts like Duck Dynasty or Honey Boo Boo, it's more subtle stuff like Kody shocked expressions when someone thinks his idea is stupid or Kody's stupid tone-deaf actions and people's exasperation. But yeah, 90% of that show is filler garbage

They are FLDS. Some of the women grew up in polygamous households and wanted to live that lifestyle as adults. Meri is the 1st wife (she's the one that got Catfished), Janell is the 2nd wife and the only one who has an actual job (real estate, I think), then there's the 3rd one who seems ok, and the last one is Robyn who cries a lot and is the youngest and newest wife. There are also rumors that Kody (the husband) is going to marry a 5th wife who is 19 or 20! It's a really boring trainwreck.

I think Cody was in advertising back when the show began. My wife likes it, so I know way more about the show than any self-respecting individual should.

My favorite part was when they left Utah in the dead of night because they were afraid the authorities were after them. And by favorite I mean most horrifying as you could see the terror in the older kids' faces as they realized they were leaving everything they knew and all their friends.

Grifting, abusing the system, anti-government attitudes, regressive family values, and reality tv. Yep, it's all here.

There needs to be a general boycott on anyone who advertises on TLC. They've had far too many child-rape scandals. The latest of which saw them bending over backwards to keep the Duggars on the air no matter what.

To be fair, from everything ever said on that show, Meri actually talked Kodi into it. I think she came from a FLDS background but he didn't necessarily? Kodi's dad is FLDS now, though, and one of his sister wives is Janelle's mom. Janelle being Kodi's second wife.

Actually, it involves a lot of work. Rather than just loving his sister as a good jim-bob would do, he invents a complicated scheme to get his dad to marry the mum of one of his wives, so he can get in on all the fun of sister-loving, but without any of the icky incest part.
