'Sister Wives' Season 5 News: Is the show using Robyn's pregnancy to increase ratings?

By

TLC show "Sister Wives" has taken audiences into the world of a polygamous marriage via Kody Brown's unique family structure together. He currently lives with his wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, and their 17 children in total. This kind of set-up has, no doubt, dished out a lot of drama, intrigue and many more scandals perfect for reality television, turning it into one of the best watched shows on the network so far.

The latest drama so far surrounding the Brown clan revolves on the family's "Tell-All" episode hosted by Tamron Hall, Hollywood Life said. Robyn insisted to Tamron that there would be no discussion whatsoever about her purported pregnancy for the second time with Kody during the tell-all episode upon noticing that Christine, the other wife, appeared upset. Enstarz said that ahead of that episode, Kody was already gushing over his newborn baby with Robyn and dropped hints of having another one with her. Robyn, on the other hand, was unusually quiet about her husband's post.

The Hollywood Gossip also pointed out that Robyn's suspected pregnancy was a very touchy point for Christine, that she walked out during the Tell-All! After the incident, Christine took to social media about her walk-out, and shrugged off rumors about her upset due to the pregnancy rumors. She wrote, "Why did I walk off the set? It's complicated, but it's not because of Robyn wanting a baby. Honestly, it was childish and I shouldn't have."

Meanwhile, Meri, Kody's other wife, is reportedly fed up with the whole polygamy set-up and is planning to leave soon. A report from Hallels revealed how Meri feels unloved, taken for granted and pitiful because she only has one child with Kody.

Though this pregnancy issue has been seen as a strategy to keep fans from staying tuned to the show, the family sure would like to remain on people's televisions for a real long time. Since racking 2.7 million average number of viewers per episode in its first season, its 1.5 million viewers per episode on average is considered troubling.
