I don't like the thought of sleeping with someone that has slept with one of my friends either...LOL! Or at least I didn't back in the day when I actually had that kind of relationship.

wow very interesting news about Janelle's prior marriage (then again, coming from the Star, who knows if it is true).

I think Kody will regret this latest nookie treat.
hilarious!!

Meri was raised in this kind of environment....wouldn't that mean that her "brother" was also raised this way? Was Janelle in a multi-wife marriage with Meri's brother as well? Why did she leave him for her sister-in-law's DH? Too many unanswered questions so there needs to be another series of this show.

I didn't find any of the "wives" to be strange from what we saw on the show.....as a matter of fact, I found each of them to be quite interesting in their own ways. From what we saw of the kids...they all seem happy and very "normal". Kody did come across as being a little arrogant to me but it might have just been the editing. Each of these 4 women seem to really love the man so I'm thinking there's alot more interaction than we were allowed to be part of. When does this man have time to work?

More about Sister Wives from PerezHilton:

Although TLC has yet to announce whether or not there will be a second season of their hit polygamy show Sister Wives, they have scheduled an hourlong interview special that will air on Halloween.

Kody Brown and his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robin will be interviewed by NBC's Natalie Morales a week before the special airs on October 31.

TV critic Scott D. Pierce says that "We're promised that they'll talk about dealing with their newfound fame and the possibility of criminal charges being filed against them."

While I think it's kind of creepy that Kody married his ex-sister-in-law, it's really not incestual. Just icky. The whole being married to four women at once is icky too, so what's the difference?

Babyjaxmom - yes, I agree it's not incest, it just raises the "ick factor" way way up!

Ok, I was thinking about this.. Is he faithful to his 4? Can't he just say he's going after 5 or 6?

I would be happy to share my husband with another woman as long as she is willing to do the dishes and housework. I have never been a jealous type, I know how much he loves me and I also believe that if he found someone that he loves more or instead I could understand that happens. I don't honestly believe that humans were created to be monogamous. For those who believe in the Bible, monogamy was a late comer to the game of marriage.

..............."I don't honestly believe that humans were created to be monogamous. For those who believe in the Bible, monogamy was a late comer to the game of marriage."

The women can't have 2nd or 3rd hubbies; men get to have all the fun. this is very "one sided".

God made Adam and Eve,

Not Adam, Eve, Marge, Francine, Lois, Meri, Robyn, Christine, etc.

So I don't buy into the 'humans weren't meant to be monogomous."

However, I've heard some cheating spouses express that same point of view.

It has nothing to do with jealousy either, it's about honor and respect.

I worked at a community college years ago and we had a few foreign students and one of them asked me once "How many husband do you have?" I politly told him that I was not married and that my country would only allow me to have one. He laughed

LOL Dfnessey. My parents were travelling through some Eurasian countries with my sister and some dude offered my dad a camel and a couple of donkeys for my sister. To his credit my dad didn't consider it, although I'd have handed her over in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd have done it for free.

Different cultures. My husband and I are very monogamous people, as are my parents and all my brothers and sisters and their spouses. I don't buy that humans aren't meant to be monogamous, either. But I do think cultural/subcultural influences from an early age definitely direct one's thinking on the subject. I was raised with faithful and devoted parents, as was Colossus. Between our two sets of parents they have 107 years of monogamous marriage and are still going strong although the challenges have changed through the years.

The sister wives all seem to have made their own decisions on polygamy well past the age of consent, so I don't have a big problem with Kody and his harem living their lifestyle as long as no laws are being broken and the welfare system isn't being abused. I do worry about the kids, but from all accounts on here they are well taken care of and seem to be happy and healthy. If their moms were truly unhappy in their situations they'd at least steer the kids away from polygamy I would hope.

I was just going to say that. If you read the Old Testament, it was very common for men to have more than one wife. Jacob had two wives (Rebecca and Leah) and two concubines. King David had a whole harem and still went after another man's wife. There are places in the world today where rich men still keep harems. I tend to agree with you about the cultural thing, GAL. However, within the bounds of our cultural, plural marriage seems icky to me, but if Kody et al are happy with the situation, I don't see that they're hurting any of us. And they've provided such an entertaining program for us to watch and discuss.

Ok, if people are up in arms saying Gay Marriage hurts the sanctity of the institution....

SERIOUSLY? TLC? THIS IS OK!?

The guy is grimy and a sleeze.

Solomon was considered to be a very wise man and he had 700 wives. God must have allowed him to do so as polygamy is widely discussed in the Bible.

My viewpoint of monogamy is not based on me being a cheating spouse or coming from some non-monogamous lineage (it doesn't get more monogamous than my lineage) but I did chuckle at the judgments rendered. I wouldn't want more than one husband, too much work for me. But I wouldn't mind having a wife for myself in addition to my wonderful husband.

I think Kody is icky and my reasoning is not religious in any way. I just believe that we're given a lot of love and it's possible to easily share it with more than one person.

Actually, the Bible says that Solomon's many wives and thus 'his heart turned away from the Lord.' So it's hardly an argument for polygamy.

I think we have learned that LOTS of stuff in the bible that people did wasn't right. So "hey bible folks did it" isn't a good excuse for doing things like this now. There is a REASON it's illegal in these 50 states.

IMO - Kody is icky and it has nothing to do with the bible...just something creepy about him.
