Sister Wives fans debate whether or not Kody Brown has more shelf life left in his TLC series, and while we know they are filming Season 20, many viewers don’t see it going past that mark. Why? Well, first of all, the show about polygamy doesn’t have any polygamous characters to offer anymore.
Plus, the family is now scattered across the US, so we see very little of the interaction between the five main characters, other than Kody and Robyn Brown. And… this interaction among Kody, Meri, Christine, and Janelle is a huge chunk of where the drama came from that kept us entertained.
Kody faced problems with his wives, but now all those problems are gone. All we get out of Robyn are excuses for Kody Brown’s behavior. Fans suggest that hearing the negative words towards each other in the confessionals is growing old. No one is face-to-face anymore.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown And Robyn Brown Bashing
Sister Wives had a different story when it first burst onto the TLC screen with Kody Brown at the helm. Curiosity about a man with three wives getting ready to take on another is what originally drew the fans in. But after seeing there was not much difference in the family, other than Kody bedding down four women, fans kept coming back to see the different interactions.
At first, people liked Kody, but that changed. The majority of the fans liked the original three wives from the start and still do. Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown have a hefty fan base today.
But Robyn Brown was always seen as the home wrecker, which is something she has said on the screen. And now that Kody is estranged from a number of his kids, she’s also seen as part of that problem today.
As the Sister Wives seasons rolled by, the spouses’ layers started to peel back, exposing their real personalities. And then the marital problems weren’t light and fluffy anymore. So, fans picked their favorites, and the debates started.
Viewers talked about who is victimized and who is doing the bullying. Much like watching a train wreck in slow motion, the extra drama sparked viewers’ interest, and the rest is history. Viewers came back for the over-the-top drama, but that is starting to run dry. The series still gives fans plenty to bash Kody Brown and Robyn Brown, which is almost like a sport among some folks. But what next?
Kody’s Popularity Takes On Different Forms
Sister Wives fans have kept Kody Brown a popular reality show personality. At first, his popularity grew out of amazement for his lifestyle and his ability to keep four wives happy most of the time. But as the seasons rolled along, he seemed to get more popular for his negative behavior.
Today, many people consider Kody just downright mean, including Janelle Brown. She told Suki last week that she had never seen Kody so mean. So, now fans tune in to see how Kody’s meanness plays out next.
Despite fans thinking that Kody will soon find himself without his Sister Wives series, that might not be the case, as his popularity still seems to expand today, but as a villain.
