Sister Wives star Kody Brown better find a new motto than that multiplying love speech he gives for the opening of each new episode. It seems that little ditty doesn’t float anymore. When the new season rolls out next month, the wives are all in Flagstaff, although none of them seem happy.

But when the latest season stopped filming, it looks as if all but one of the Sister Wives ladies scattered. The Coyote Pass property is probably going to look much different than originally planned.

But for the sake of the cameras, it appears the family sticks it out on screen. Although Christine Brown gave fans a heads-up. She said she is pretending about picking out a lot for her new home. Maybe the others were as well?

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Downs Plural Marriage

Kody Brown shook his head from side to side. He did this while saying he didn’t think he could advocate for polygamy anymore. Well, it looks like the decision was made for Kody Brown. The ladies who make up his Sister Wives series seemed to decide for him.

Ironically, after all the seasons of Meri Brown‘s disenchantment, she continues to say she’s staying. But the one wife who doted on every word and movement of the husband of four packed up and left. Christine Brown seemed to worship Kody Brown. She also expressed how she loves him very much. Still, she decided to make a new life without her spiritual husband in Utah.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown

So, it appears Kody wasn’t living the true polygamous lifestyle for Christine. She surprised the Sister Wives audience when they learned she had left the family in Flagstaff and moved to Utah. But you can’t help but wonder if Kody and his four wives live one way in front of the cameras and another lifestyle once the cameras go cold.

So Far Away…

During the previous season of Sister Wives, the four co-wives lived nearby Kody. They were a stone’s throw away from him on any given day. Or it appeared that way on the screen. This new season promo shows more of the same, no one is missing from the family meetings or outings.

But when the cameras shut down after the season finished filming, it seemed Christine left for Utah after selling her Flagstaff home. Then there’s Meri, who is traveling a lot lately. She has plans, presumably without Kody Brown, to travel the U.S. and visit the states, she’s not yet seen.

For a reminder of just how long this dissension in the ranks has been going on, here’s a look at a few seasons back on Sister Wives when a very angry Kody Brown felt the need to defend Robyn Brown yet again.

The second Sister Wives bride, Janelle Brown, left her Coyote Pass RV for the winter. But she quickly became tight-lipped about where she planned to call home during the cold weather months.

Some fans think she’s staying in Utah with Christine. Although others bet the farm that she’ll head to Maddie Brown Brush’s house in North Carolina. Maddie and Caleb Brush just purchased a bigger home in that state.

Sister Wives: At Home In Arizona for Kody?

The only wife not heard from outside of the Sister Wives promo is Robyn Brown. From what happened during that Sister Wives teaser clip, she had a gripe going with her co-wives.

For some reason, Kody believes that his brides think that Robyn is his head wife. He said in the promo video how they go to her for direction when they should come to him. It sounded like Kody and Robyn passed out a set of rules to the other wives. They expected the family to follow these precautions during the COVID lockdown.

One of the new season’s scenes has Robyn reprimanding her fellow wives telling them that she knows they blame her. But in fact, Robyn points the finger at Kody blaming him for these rules. Whatever these protocols say they should do, it’s easy to see by the look on Meri Brown, Christine Brown, and Janelle Brown’s faces they don’t like them.

Enough information came out of the latest Sister Wives promo clip to assume that Kody and/or Robyn went way overboard on a COVID plan. So, the faces seem to demonstrate much unhappiness in the new season. But once the filming stops, the wives appear to scatter and with smiles on their faces.

So, the family that makes up the Sister Wives series just might have one mode when it comes to the cameras rolling and another for the way they live their lives in real-time. From what’s seen of the family today, Kody Brown is still in Flagstaff with Robyn Brown. But his other three wives are off doing their things and looking pretty happy about it.

Sister Wives Season 16 kicks off on Sunday. November 21 on TLC. They’ve kept the 10 p.m. EST timeslot.
