SISTER WIVES Season 19 Episode 9 - Full Episode - recap

[spurgie-cousin]

my period better be close bc why am i crying my way through the newest episode of sister wives 😭

the first thing that got me was meri meeting back up with the other wives individually. and when she saw Christine they hugged and said "I love you"s while visibly emotional. and Christine kept saying things like, "it's going to be so much better. it is so much better on the other side, you'll see". So that got me good.

ok and then I cried at Kody coming to Gwen's engagement (to a woman for those who don't know) bc I guess that just activated some latent conservative dad trauma

and finally at the very end there was a clip of the next episode where David proposes to Christine, and they were at the red rocks and she was just in jeans and a hoodie with her hair down, and the camera angle was from the side and I swear she looked just like she was 21 again. so I just cried again thinking like, she gets a do-over 😭 young Christine who was a hopeless romantic and sheltered and had no idea what she was signing up for marrying Kody gets to finally be the most important person to the man she's married to. so then I cried a THIRD time

WRT your last post, do you collect data for Duggar adjacent families like the Keller’s and the Rodrigueses? Do you have any speculation on Nathan and Nuries courtship and engagement?

Does Duggar Data Discuss Anyone Other Than Duggars / Bateses?

[ Referenced Post: Nurie + Nathan Are Courting! ]

Duggar Data is primarily focused on the Duggar and Bates Families. (I’m sure you’ve noticed!) However, I’m familiar with and casually follow others, as well—mostly other fundies, like the Maxwells, Bontragers, etc., but also non–fundie families that happen to be impressively large, zealously religious, or otherwise bizarrely fascinating in some way.

Perhaps check out these old posts, featuring various Duggar– or Bates–Adjacents—

Lauren Caldwell   Lauren is Kendra (Caldwell) Duggar’s younger sister (b. 2000).

Daniel + Deena Dillard   Dan is Derick Dillard’s older (and only) brother.

Sierra + Mark Dominguez   Sierra is a friend of several of the Older Duggar Girls, who planned multiple Duggar events—e.g., baby showers—and appeared on Counting On. (See also.)

Terry + Roxanne Forsyth   Joy–Anna (Duggar) Forsyth’s in–laws.

Marjorie Jackson   Courted Josiah Duggar in 2015. (See also.)

Amy (Duggar) + Dillon King   Amy is Jim Bob Duggar’s niece.

Sarah Reith   Courted Zach Bates in 2011.

Ashley Salyer   Courted Nathan Bates, 2015–2016. (See also.)

Esther (Keller) + John Shrader   Esther is Anna (Keller) Duggar’s sister.

Priscilla (Keller) + David Waller   Their wedding was featured on 19 Kids & Counting. Priscilla is Anna (Keller) Duggar’s sister. (See also.)

Kristen + Justin Young   Kristen is friends with some of the Older Duggar Girls, who threw her a surprise baby shower on Counting On.

... and these ones, about Other Fundies—

Allison Bontrager   Could she date a Duggar or Bates?

The Bowers–Bontragers x2   Brothers marry sisters in a double wedding, have babies one day apart.

Steve + Teri Maxwell   Have an annoying habit of discussing Steve’s vasectomy all the time.

Nathan + Melanie Maxwell   Spawn of Steve + Teri #1, and his high–risk pregnancy wife. (See also.)

Chris + Anna Marie Maxwell   Spawn of Steve + Teri #2, and his frumper–wearing wife.

Joseph + Elissa Maxwell   Reversal Baby #1 of Steve + Teri, and the wife he kept secret until their wedding day.

Chelsy (Bontrager) + John Maxwell   Reversal Baby #3, and his Bontrager bride. (See also.)

Michael + Debi Pearl   They’re behind blanket training and other abusive parenting tactics.

Jill + David Rodrigues   Don’t even know what to say about them...

Nurie Rodrigues + Nathan Keller   Literally the most snarkable pairing ever. Can’t wait.

... and these ones, about Miscellaneous Fascinating Humans—

The Kody Brown Family   Man with a ponytail attempts to coexist with his four jealous wives and an oddly well–adjusted herd of children.

The Radfords   British megafamily, with more children than the Duggars / Bates.

Though I’ve never posted about them, I’m also kinda familiar with the Andersons, Jeubs, Mortons, Paines, and whoever else pops up on Free Jinger.

If you’re curious about a specific non–Duggar, non–Bates, please review my Ask Policy. If the family, the couple, or whatever meets the criteria, send in your Ask. I can’t promise I’ll have time to respond to a lot of non–Duggar, non–Bates Asks, but I’ll consider it!
