"Sister Wives" Season 6 culminated in a special titled "Sister Wives: Tell All" where Kody Brown and his four wives faced tough questions about their polygamous family. Reportedly, the special which was moderated by Tamron Hill, received the highest rating for the series since January 2014.
It was evident in the special that Robyn seemed to have established herself as the head wife. Fans noticed and found it strange that she continuously answered for the family patriarch in the panel interview. Robyn admitted that she takes offense from fans and critics who say that one wife is more important than the others. She further remarked that all four women are Kody Brown's wives. She answered as Kody sat impassively while listening to her.
Another sister wife Janelle defended Robyn against the rumors that she tried to restructure the family so she could be the head wife. She said Robyn was not the type of person to do that and that she had been very much involved with the family since the premiere of "Sister Wives".
Another instance when Robyn answered for Kody was when Hall asked him if the family dynamic had changed since he divorced Meri and Robyn became his legal wife. Robyn answered that her tax status was the only thing that changed.
According to Day Herald, Hall also asked when jealousy becomes an issue in the polygamous family. Although all of the wives admitted that it has crept up more often than not, it was again Robyn who was the most vocal by saying that the biggest questions regarding jealousy where more along the lines of "where do I fit in" or "does he love me as much as her?".
She further explained that jealousy is not brought up as much as possible because they do not want fans to believe that it is the only aspect in a plural family such as theirs.
Another sister wife Christine has voiced her own issues against Kody's unfair treatment in the special reports Fashion n Style. She felt she and her children were receiving less of Kody's time and attention than the rest. Fans also questioned his partiality toward his new and younger wife Robyn after he took Christine for a trip to Galveston, Texas for their anniversary as compared to the Hawaii vacation he took Robyn to.
In "Tell All", Christine admitted her insecurities and revealed that she and Kody are still undergoing counseling. She admitted that working on their marriage within a polygamous structure can be difficult. Christine and Kody married spiritually in 1994 and have six children together.
Do you think that the rumored focus on Robyn and her new baby in "Sister Wives" Season 7 will add to Christine's securities and problems with Kody? Share us your comments in the section below.
