“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 breathing exercises with Johnny Manziel, and still manages to make us wonder if he's only here for the paycheck or the pity.

“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 king named David Woolley.

“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 such a toxic situation.

“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 courtship to even more disappointing marriage.

“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.
