Sister Wives Season 20: Kody & Meri Dive into Dating Drama and More!

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest episodes of TLC’s polygamy-turned-monogamy reality show.

Meri Brown’s Dating Journey: Speed Dating and Second Chances

Meri Brown is officially back on the dating market and looking fabulous. The reality star, who appears to have lost weight, is diving into the singles scene with some heavily staged speed dating footage alongside her wing woman, Jenn.

The dating world hasn’t been easy for the former sister wife. Meri revealed that once potential partners discover her polygamous past, many lose interest.

One man she was talking to completely ghosted her after finding out who she was. Christine Brown weighed in, advising Meri to save the polygamy talk for the second or third date, not the first.

While the speed dating setup seems contrived for television, viewers will likely see Meri pursue a connection with one of the men from the event. Despite the obvious staging, fans are rooting for Meri to find genuine happiness – away from the Sister Wives.

Kody Brown’s Shocking Confession: Did He Really Love His Ex-Wives?

In what might be the most eyebrow-raising moment of the season, Kody Brown claims he’s realized “retroactively” that he actually loved his ex-wives. This revelation comes as Kody appears to be going through what can only be described as a midlife crisis.

However, his complaints about being left to clean up Coyote Pass alone without help from Janelle Brown or Meri ring hollow. Kody griped that he’s not motivated to clear the property because his ex-wives “aren’t nice to him” and should be helping. The irony isn’t lost on viewers, who remember how Kody treated them during the plural marriage.

Janelle Brown Wants Out: Spiritual Divorce and Property Drama

Janelle Brown has made her position crystal clear: she wants Coyote Pass sold and a spiritual divorce from Kody. She’s adamant that she would never consider plural marriage again after her experience.

In a surprisingly astute observation, Janelle joked that polygamy should be legalized because if men had to legally split assets with multiple wives in court, the practice would end immediately. She continues fighting to be added to the property titles on Coyote Pass.

The family also shared touching tributes to Garrison, with plans to dedicate a section of Janelle and Maddie Brown Brush‘s flower farm to his memory and anyone struggling with mental health issues.

Robyn’s Victim Card: “They Chose Monogamy For Me”

Robyn Brown played the victim once again, claiming that when Christine, Meri, and Janelle left, they “chose monogamy for her.” Meri laughed off this narrative, making it clear she chose herself and had no relationship with Kody left to preserve.

The Gross Truth: Kody and Robyn Consider Adding a Third Wife

Things took an uncomfortable turn when Kody openly discussed his dissatisfaction with monogamous life, suggesting he’s not getting enough intimacy. He and Robyn had a cringey dinner conversation about potentially adding another wife to their marriage.

Here’s where it gets wild:

• Kody admitted his primary motivation for choosing a new sister wife would be how attractive she is
• Robyn called him out for being “a pig” and accused him of wanting a “concubine”
• Kody’s requirements: Any new wife would need to be devoted to Robyn first, eliminating competition for his affection
• The real agenda: It seems Kody wants someone attractive who will keep Robyn occupied and both women off his back

Robyn admitted deep parts of herself still want plural marriage, possibly as a buffer from being stuck with Kody 24/7. Later in the season, Kody will tell Robyn about a woman who messaged wanting to join the family.

Kody’s Name-Calling: “Sister Witches”

Kody resorted to calling his ex-wives “sister witches,” which Meri noted comes from his lack of confidence. Both Janelle and Christine laughed it off, with Janelle saying she’s perfectly fine being called a sister witch. Kody claimed women can’t get along once he’s intimate with both of them.

The Bizarre Dog-Eating Comment

In one of the strangest moments of the season, David Woolley joked to Christine that polygamists eat dogs after a neighbor’s small dog wandered onto their porch. Christine quickly shut down this ridiculous claim, though David doubled down asking about squirrels and rabbits.

Inside Robyn’s House: A Design Disaster

Now that the other wives are gone, Robyn is finally allowing cameras inside her home. And viewers understand why she kept it off-limits before. The house looks like “Cracker Barrel and Kirkland’s had an ugly baby that was bought on clearance,” with no cohesive design aesthetic. Just expensive but poorly curated random items, including a bizarre deer painting with a flaming forest background.

He wants to move, apparently unaware that all of Robyn’s questionable décor will be coming with them to their new giant house.

Kody on Special Forces: Proving Himself to His Kids

Kody Brown is also appearing on Special Forces, where reality stars undergo grueling military-style training. At 57, he’s the oldest competitor, facing off against Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, Teresa Giudice and her daughter, Gia Giudice, and Jussie Smollett.

Kody claims he’s doing the show to prove to his kids he can “do the impossible.” However, as one observer noted, the real impossible feat would be Kody actually showing up to see his nearly 20 children in person instead of only on TV.

Despite the odds, Kody is performing well, surviving mud dunks, helicopter rappelling, and simulated plane crash scenarios. At least Robyn got a few weeks of peace while he filmed in Morocco.

What’s Next for Sister Wives?

Meri’s dating, Kody and Robyn potentially adding a new wife. And the ongoing Coyote Pass drama, Season 20 is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic yet. The show has clearly pivoted from its original polygamy premise to survival mode, desperately creating storylines to keep viewers engaged now that the family has fractured.

Whether it’s genuine drama or scripted entertainment, Sister Wives continues delivering the messy reality TV content fans can’t look away from.
