So far, many fans have found the Sister Wives season 16 Tell-All to be disappointing compared to the rest of the season and previous reunion episodes. Fans have been calling Sister Wives season 16 the best in history. As a result, many viewers had high hopes for the reunion to bring the same level of drama. Unfortunately, though, there are many reasons why fans are feeling let down by the Tell-All so far.
Sister Wives season 16 saw the Brown family struggling to come to an agreement with how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic on their large estate in Phoenix, Arizona. It saw Kody and Robyn Brown pitted against Christine and Janelle after Kody set strict rules about each wife isolating from one another and even himself. Christine and Janelle frequently saw each other, and Christine reached her breaking point that resulted in ending her marriage to Kody after over 25 years together.
During the first part of the Sister Wives season 16 Tell-All, Kody and Meri talked in individual interviews about their nonexistent physical relationship. It also showed Robyn acting devastated by Christine's departure from the family, which many fans sensed was fake. While Kody's relationship with Robyn remains solid, many fans think his other marriages will likely end soon too. Meanwhile, many fans wished that the kids would be a part of the reunion like they had been in previous seasons, especially since they are now all older and would likely have more to say.
This Sister Wives Tell-All would benefit from having Gabriel and Garrison Brown on after it was revealed that Kody had not even been speaking to them. It would also be interesting to see more about how Ysabel feels about her dad not joining her when she got her spinal surgery after watching it play out on TV. Fans also thought that the four wives and Kody were only telling partial truths. Meanwhile, their children might've given out more honest answers. Overall, Sister Wives fans felt that the Tell-All has been more about rehashing stale drama as opposed to bringing anything new to the table.
A Reddit thread noted, "Am I the only one that felt like this episode was a lot of talking but not a lot of anything we didn't already know?" Fans did enjoy Kody getting a taste of his own medicine when it was brought up that he felt jealous about Christine and Janelle's close relationship. However, many people felt that the show was being biased, with a commenter writing, "Bigger question: why are they going soft on Robyn and Kody?!" Hopefully, the next part of the Sister Wives Tell-All will put more focus on Christine's shocking divorce from Kody and maybe even include some of the Brown children.
