Recently, Sister Wives released a new preview for the upcoming Season 19 premiere. But now, the reasons why TLC moved Robyn Brown away from the other wives and put her in black are explained.
Sister Wives Promises Drama
While the Sister Wives preview promises tons of drama soon, there are also subtle details that fans are picking up on. Undeniably, there is a shift in the focus of the show. Now that Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown are all separated from Kody and Robyn Brown, it has a true “us vs. them” feeling.
But Robyn shows she is struggling with the changes in the family. While Kody and Robyn are practicing monogamy, there are many details to sort through with the other three wives leaving.
Why TLC Moved Robyn Brown Away & Put Her In Black
However, fans are seeing the writing on the wall. They noticed a specific move that TLC made to have attention on Robyn Brown being in a different place in the family now.
On Reddit, fans discuss a huge observation they made about the upcoming Sister Wives Season 19 premiere. At first, someone says, “The villains always wear black!!” Then, they add a photo of Meri, Janelle, Christine, Kody, and Robyn.
But one big thing that people notice is the stark difference from the right side of the photo to the left. From right to left were the three wives that exited the marriage and then Kody and Robyn were on the end side by side.
Undeniably, the production team knew what they were doing. Not only were the first three ladies in white, but Kody and Robin were in dark colors. Likewise, Robyn is no longer included with the other wives.
Fans Notice The Subtle Hints
After the initial post, several fans jumped in to talk about the upcoming season of Sister Wives. Undoubtedly, there were plenty of people who noticed the subtle hints TLC gives with Kody and Robyn Brown’s clothes and placement.
- “I noticed that too. The three that left are in white, with light hair, glowy makeup, and bright eyes. They look empowered. Then K&R are in black, more subtle makeup, and their eyes aren’t as bright. They almost look defiantly smug. Almost. There’s definitely been a switch up in the editing/narrative because this is clearly supposed to make it look like a good vs evil or light vs dark situation. Another thing to add to that ‘vs’ narrative is the placement of Robyn. She’s no longer grouped with the wives like in previous publicity/promo shoots, with Kody in some ‘head’ position or not pictured at all. She’s separated from them both in position and color. They want to make it clear its no longer ‘Kody and the wives’, it’s now the ‘exes’ and the ‘winner’. Or the ‘survivors’ and the ‘villains’.It’s all very symbolic. Makes me think K&R are going to get a sh*t edit this season.”
- “Agreed!!!! And if they get a sh*t edit I am so HERE for it!!”
The Show Must Go On
Then others give their two cents on Robyn Brown’s look for the promo picture. But others are still having a mixture of feelings about the show going on.
- “Omg… you are so right. The most significant thing is the moving of Robyn away from the others… to me shows editors say she was NEVER part of the group.”
- “The producers have hopefully realized audiences love OG3 more and chose them over Ramen Hair and Crybrows. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.”
- “I don’t care I want it all I want to hate watch Kody and Robyn more. I wanna see their lives fall apart in the most unscripted way possible and get what the deserve.”
- “I’m torn, because I am THRIVING that we’re likely getting the honest edit of the two lovebirds but after Garrison, I don’t know if I can enjoy watching this trainwreck as much i did before.”
- “Based on the media release it sounds like they will be addressing his passing. We frequently get mid season trailers and so that is where I would expect him to be mentioned.”
- “They need to keep the kids out of it. i hope they don’t show garrison getting berated by kody. he was so cruel the last couple of years, it would break my heart to see that poor kid be abused knowing what happened.”
Robyn Brown Enjoys Villainry
While some people think Robyn Brown will be mad about bad edits and being the villain, others believe she loves it.
- “Robyn loves to be the villain so she must be ecstatic about this one! She really TRULY does and that’s why 20 episodes in,she’s never abandoned her villain status. By now I’ve realized that TLC is deceptive and no matter how they try to hoodwink the audience, they are always on the side of the abuser and they will always help them to escape accountability. Don’t let the colors fool you. They have continued to let Robyn and her trash husband get away with the worst abuse and Currently seeing that with Angela and Michael from 90 day. TLC is trash.”
- “Hopefully K&R will be getting the edit they’ve always deserved.”
Other Nuances
When fans discussed what they observed, they noticed many other nuances about Kody, Meri, Christine, Janelle, and Robyn Brown.
- “What is Kody doing? It’s not quite a smirk…like a mix of a smirk and a grimace. Really sets the tone for his part of the season IMO.”
- “I love that Christine is in the middle – Kody must hate that!”
- “Yep and notice Robyn is placed on the side like what we know now she really is the side chick mid life crisis gal that broke em up!”
- “Or them against him and shes off the side for protection.”
- “And Meri in the blazer because this is her transition from Meg to girlboss.”
- “Janelle photo is Ai nightmare fuel.”
- “She is beautiful and this highly edited photo is just not.her.”
- “I was so distracted by the highly edited faces I didn’t even notice their clothes. I like the contrast the good vs the bad.”
- Someone adds, about Janelle, “She looks ready to rip someone’s heart out. Fierce.”
Watch the new Sister Wives season on September 15th on TLC at 10/9c. Then, stream it later on Max.
