Hey Sister Wives fans, let’s talk about Robyn Brown in some darker scenes lately. The second half of Sister Wives Season 19 opened up something new for Robyn Brown. It seems the show stopped doing such heavy editing. In the past, the other wives seemed careful not to say anything to offend Robyn.

Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Has No Choice?

But that is not the case anymore, which leaves fans wondering if something happened behind the scenes. In the past, Kody Brown seemed to call the shots (to some extent) about what made it to the Sister Wives screen.

Now that we’re seeing a change, I wonder if TLC stopped allowing Kody any input on what makes it into the episodes. We also know he is very protective of Robyn Brown.

We’ve all heard him say the other wives should be more like Robyn. Kody specifically tagged her as his compliant wife. He also suggested that the other three, Meri, Janelle, and Christine – are not

Robyn Comparisons Not Welcomed

Then we heard the Sister Wives ex-wives say that Kody compared Robyn to his other wives to make a point to Janelle, Christine, and Meri. All three of Kody’s exes said this as Sister Wives season 19 part 2 began.

These three ladies were direct about it. Not one of them hesitated to say how they felt about Robyn on the first new episode to air.

We’re hearing Meri, Janelle and Christine saying things about Robyn we never heard on-screen before. So what changed? And it feels like Kody’s last remaining wife went from Sobbin Robyn to Goblin Robyn in the latest episode.

Robyn Brown made snarky comments on the latest Sister Wives episode. And she hit back at Meri, Janelle, and Christine’s comments from their confessionals. But why?

Sister Wives Original Mission Statement Ripped Up?

Maybe the Sister Wives patriarch’s only wife and his now three exes don’t need to play nice anymore since the family split up. They don’t have to keep up the appearance that the Browns are all in harmony. Which if you remember, was part of their original mission statement on Sister Wives.

But there’s another theory that makes more sense to me. It may be about Sister Wives fan feedback and ratings. Many viewers thought TLC spent way too much time on Christine’s wedding.

The show saturated the screen with all the wedding festivities. Plus all the planning leading up to the big day. So, maybe TLC’s trying to bring up ratings and has Robyn and her rivals doing some mutual bashing, as bashing usually works.

Dragging Down Old Scenes with Mundane New Ones…

Sister Wives got weird in past months by weaving older scenes in with new ones. Much like what they did with Robyn and Kody’s bizarre game night with the kids.

But despite the scenes being more up-to-date, they were also pretty dull. Then Mykelti shed some light on that. When she revealed some of the new Sister Wives scenes were just thrown in with the scenes filmed two years ago.

She thinks it was to try and add some drama since, with the spouses all flung apart, there aren’t as many tense interactions to keep viewers interested.

Sister Wives: Running Out of Scenes?

With nothing much to film now that the family fractured, throwing in old footage might’ve been just to get enough episodes to make a full season. And Aurora’s baptism feels like more filler scenes. Fans were largely unentertained by it or downright bothered.

So, maybe TLC is scrambling to keep fans from bailing on Sister Wives. And that spells trouble for Kody and Robyn who need that TLC money.

And let’s face it, reality TV is all about watching a good train wreck. But with Kody and Robyn living in harmony, this is far from fascinating, whether they’re playing games, making a big deal out of Aurora’s event, or just sitting around.

TLC Quietly Makes a Change for Robyn?

Obviously, TLC isn’t going to talk about any editing changes, but fans are certain it happened. A while back, Tony Padron said that Robyn hated doing Sister Wives.

He also said she despised hearing what Meri, Janelle, Christine and others said about her on screen. So, it probably wasn’t her idea to let them cut loose and criticize her more.

But, who knows – maybe Kody was hit with an ultimatum to amp up the drama, and that meant making Robyn fair game in the confessionals. Because we’ve all seen terrible stuff said by Kody about Christine, Meri and Janelle.

And Kody’s always gotten plenty of bashing from his Sister Wives exes in the confessionals, which fans enjoy. But up until now, Robyn got a much more favorable edit. Maybe TLC decided they either go after the ratings or it’s canceled. So, this would mean everyone’s fair game.

We just saw Meri saying she doesn’t trust Robyn – and Christine and Janelle talked about her prissy behavior. So it looks like being Kody’s one last wife isn’t getting any easier. At least not while cameras are rolling.

So, did TLC rip away the safety net they’d been keeping around Robyn, and now it’s open season? If so, that might keep fans tuning in just to see what smack talk we get from Janelle, Meri and Christine about the idiot that got left behind, as she called herself.
