Hold on to your remote controls, Sister Wives fans — the Brown family drama just took a wild new turn! Kody Brown, the controversial patriarch of the plural marriage reality series, is stepping into completely unfamiliar territory: he’s joining the cast of the military-style competition reality show Special Forces. And just as fans were trying to process that, Gabe Brown – Kody’s estranged son with Janelle – broke his silence with a cryptic and unexpected post that sent fans into a frenzy.
When the news broke that Kody would be appearing on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, social media exploded. Reddit threads popped off. Facebook groups fired up. And then… Gabe posted. His message? “Who wants to see me react to season 2 of Special Forces?” While that might sound unrelated, fans were quick to point out a timeline error: Kody is joining season 4, which hasn’t aired yet. So why is Gabe referencing season 2?
That discrepancy only fueled more speculation. Was Gabe being sarcastic? Subtly shading his dad? Was he mocking Kody’s latest attempt at attention? Fans couldn’t decide — but they had plenty to say.
Some speculated that Gabe’s post might be a clever jab. One fan quipped: “Coming for my job, Cody? I see you manipulative son of a gun.” Others noted that practically everyone connected to Sister Wives seems to be jumping on the reaction video bandwagon — from Mykelti to Gwendlyn, and now maybe Gabe too.
But the bigger issue looming in fan conversations was this: Kody Brown, the man who has repeatedly claimed he can’t be away from his youngest kids or his favorite wife Robyn for more than a few days, is now off filming an intense reality competition for several weeks. Naturally, eyebrows were raised. As one user sarcastically asked: “So, he can leave Robyn and the littles for this show, but not for his daughter’s surgery?”
That sentiment was echoed across dozens of platforms. Kody’s track record of absenteeism with his older children — especially Gabe and Garrison — hasn’t sat well with longtime viewers. The fact that he’s now appearing on a physically grueling series, typically meant to showcase grit and character, feels like a slap in the face to many who watched him emotionally distance himself from his other families for years.
And Gabe’s potential reaction content might just be the cherry on top. Fans are divided — some say they’ll boycott anything Kody-related, while others are intrigued to see how Gabe responds to watching his dad get yelled at by real-life military instructors. More than a few viewers admit they’re watching just to see how quickly Kody cries or quits. After all, this is the same man who struggled living in an RV and often recoiled from any form of discomfort.
Then there’s the matter of perception. Kody and Robyn, widely regarded as the least popular figures in the Sister Wives universe, are no strangers to criticism. From their perceived favoritism to their emotional manipulation, many fans believe they’ve embraced their “villain” role in reality TV — and are now milking it for exposure.
Gabe’s decision to address the situation at all was surprising, given his known estrangement from Kody. His relationship with his father fractured during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Kody’s strict visitation rules kept him from seeing Janelle’s children. The emotional toll was evident — Gabe even recounted how his father forgot his birthday during a phone call about COVID protocols.
And yet now, Gabe may be leveraging that fractured relationship for content. Whether it’s for catharsis, commentary, or clout, fans seem eager to support Gabe — with some even pledging to watch his reaction videos instead of tuning in to Special Forces. One viewer said, “I don’t want to support the show or give it ratings, but I’d watch Gabe all day.”
But skeptics remain. Some believe the entire Brown family — even the ones who claim to be estranged — may be in on a bigger plan. “It’s showbiz, baby,” one commenter wrote. “They could be faking these feuds just to drive up viewership and keep the paychecks coming.”
Still, the most biting reactions were reserved for Kody himself. Mocked for his ego, fragile masculinity, and obsession with being the alpha male, fans had a field day imagining how he’d fare in the unforgiving world of Special Forces. The jokes came fast: “He couldn’t last in Janelle’s RV, but thinks he can handle a military boot camp?” “He’ll be sobbing day one — and not just ‘Robin sobbing,’ full-on meltdown.”
And let’s not forget Robyn. Viewers questioned how she allowed Kody to leave her side, especially given their infamous codependency. One user joked, “Did she finally get that Special Forces-themed Kody doll with a Jeep to keep her company?”
Even deeper speculation emerged: would Kody use his appearance on Special Forces to further rewrite his family history? Would he position himself as a hero, doing this “for Garrison” or to prove himself as a father figure? Many suspect he’ll attempt to twist the narrative — just as he often has on Sister Wives.
There’s even talk of this being a launchpad for more reality TV ventures — Dancing with the Stars, The Masked Singer, maybe even a podcast or book. “He’s craving attention,” one user said. “And now that three of his wives have walked, he’s scrambling to stay relevant.”
At the center of it all, Gabe Brown’s post continues to spark debate. Is he taking shots at his dad? Is he trying to cash in on the circus? Or is this his way of processing years of neglect and emotional turmoil — one reaction at a time?
Whatever the motive, one thing is certain: Kody Brown’s leap into reality competition TV has reignited a firestorm in the Sister Wives fandom, and Gabe’s reaction might just be the most honest voice in the room.
So… will you be watching? 👀 Or are you skipping Kody’s latest adventure and heading straight to Gabe’s commentary? Either way, the drama isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Stay tuned.
