Sister Wives star Robyn Brown doesn’t seem to be awarded the same level of protection from the editing that she once had on the TLC series. As season 18 waned down, the network got the viewers’ applause for including clips that demonstrate this wife’s full range of behavior. It looks like there’s more of this to come on the final episode of Christine Brown’s wedding special.
Sister Wives: Robyn Brown – No Longer on Cutting-Room Floor?
Robyn Brown has sobbed her way through many seasons of this reality series. But during this recent season, she’s done more than sob. It seems some Sister Wives viewers think the cameras kept rolling long enough for the only wife left to make a fool of herself at times.
Sure, the Robyn Brown fans got to know was still there. You know, the one who sobs while wiping away tears that aren’t falling. But another face of this wife also showed up in a few clips this season that are a bit different from previous seasons.
Scenes like this led the Sister Wives viewers to give cheers to the people behind the scenes at TLC. While Robyn displayed her sobbing, it seemed the cameras didn’t shut off. Instead, they captured what came next.
Robyn Doesn’t Fade-Out This Season
Previously, many of the Sister Wives scenes faded out with a distraught Robyn looking into the camera. But not this season, it seemed like the camera followed her a bit further than usual.
What surfaced recently seemed to fuel the fans’ take on her manipulative ways. One scene especially got a lot of attention across social media. Plus, the way it played out not only seemed very telling about Robyn Brown but Meri Brown as well.
There are several Sister Wives scenes featuring Robyn Brown that will likely never go away. They’ve been created into a GIF on social media and seem to always pop up. One clip still making the rounds displays Robyn Brown having a breakdown.
She just can’t fathom having an empty porch during her golden years. She displays heaving sobs while saying she wants to sit with her sister wives on her porch and watch her grandchildren play. Her display of over-the-top emotions was seen as comical by some fans.
But, another scene captured so much about Robyn Brown and her interaction with spouses that fans still comment on it today. It all started on a picnic table. This scene also said something about Meri Brown as well.
Sister Wives: Dramatic Exit Didn’t Go Off as Planned?
Robyn demonstrated several less-than-stellar behaviors through the years for the fans, who have no problem when pointing them out. Such as blaming Christine Brown for the demise of the family. Or by leading Meri Brown on by making her think she has a chance with Kody Brown.
But her interference in the last Kody-Meri talk on camera takes the cake for many viewers. While sitting on a picnic table at their Coyote Pass land, Kody and Meri ended their marriage. Robyn was privy to this, although she couldn’t sit there and watch it.
So the youngest wife makes her exit sobbing, saying she can’t sit through this. It was quite the exit as the Sister Wives production crew left the mic on. So, you could hear her talking to herself. But… neither Meri nor Kody went after her. Although, many fans thought that Robyn may have expected at least one of them would follow her, as she was an emotional wreck.
Instead, Kody and Meri kept right on talking. But, low and behold, Robyn walks back and plunks herself down. This is when the fans ripped her apart. First, fans raged that she had no business being there as Meri and Kody talked over their marriage. Next, they pointed out this was all about her getting attention.
Since no one followed her when she left, fans suggested that she came back for the attention. Well, she got it and fans critiqued her actions as a woman “making a fool of herself.” But Meri seemed to approach her co-wife comically. It was almost as if she wouldn’t take anything too seriously that the emotional wreck of a wife was peddling. Fans applauded Meri for not buying into this.
Another Face Emerges for Robyn
As seen in the post above, fans thanked TLC for not cutting the cameras this time around. The viewers got to see one of these meltdowns from start to finish because editing didn’t invade the scene.
It looks like more of the same is about to unfold during the last Sister Wives episode of the wedding special. Sure, there’s more boohooing from wife number four in the previews. But there’s also another face that comes over Robyn Brown.
She becomes an authority figure when on camera with Kody. Plus, the Sister Wives fans think she’s very flippant while doing so. She sarcastically cuts Kody off as he’s about to say something that sounds negative about Christine.
The sarcastic flare is seen when she says “We are very happy for them,” meaning Christine and David Woolley. Fans describe this as Robyn “throwing shade” at Christine. So, she contorts her face and sobs in a few scenes.
But then it’s like someone flipped a switch for another scene. Next, the sobs are gone, and she becomes someone smiling and sending a few jabs Christine’s way. Or at least this is how the fans see it.
But viewers thank TLC for lightening up on the editing. It’s for this reason, the two faces of Robyn Brown pop up loud and clear on the screen of this TLC series.
