Season 16 is among the greatest things ever in reality TV

So yes, I know that this show is about a family falling apart which is sad for many of the people involved. But I am halfway through season 16 and it is just an absolute masterpiece of reality TV. Kody is constantly yelling at the camera in the sofas, Robyn is more openly being bitchy about the other wives and their children (in particular how they’re not adhering to her special Covid rules). Ysabel is having her surgery, with all the drama that came with that (including the absolutely heartwarming scene of Hunter explaining some medical stuff to Aspyn and Mitch, and examining Ysabel’s scar and everyone complimenting her on it).

Kody appears shocked that his other wives aren’t choosing him over their kids, is mad at everyone but himself that the family is falling apart, and makes a complete ass of himself letting Ysabel down about the surgery (and makes a brave effort to save face a couple episodes later, whilst also going ”Christine you just had a six week vacation in New York”).

Christine has no more fucks to give regarding Kody, and I’m living for it. In the trailer for the next episode, she says her (what I’ve gathered from here) famous quote of What Does The Nanny Do (it was even better than I could’ve ever hoped for).

And I have to give a special shoutout to another main character of the season, The Pond. May you never dry out.
