Sister Wives stars Kody and Robyn Brown are watching their polygamist empire crumble into dust.

They’re living monogamously now and it’s putting quite a financial strain on the couple. Losing Janelle,

Meri, and Christine’s outside incomes has severely limited their options.

Viewers saw the writing on the wall a long time ago, but it seems like Kody and Robyn are just now realizing the gravity of their situation. Read on and see what other fans have to say.

Kody & Robyn Brown Lost Wives… And Income Streams

In the new Sister Wives episode, Janelle Brown warned Meri that Kody and Robyn might get greedy with Coyote Pass. She knows if they can’t pay it off, they’ll lose it and none of the ex-wives will receive what they’re entitled to receive. Meri takes Janelle’s warning with a grain of salt, but it’s clear she’s mulling the situation over.

Viewers have known that Kody and Robyn Brown are only out to protect their own best interests for years. But now, it seems like the other women have caught on.

“I think [Kody] And [Robyn] really thought they could ice out the other wives and kids and they would all still stick around to keep the money train rolling,” one Sister Wives viewer wrote on Reddit. “They truly thought that everyone is as greedy as them and that no one would leave and risk messing with the cash flow. Their anger over betrayal is funny.”

Sister Wives Viewers Aren’t Surprised Things Played Out This Way

Other Redditors readily agreed. Most seemed to think Kody expected his wives to stick around, even if they weren’t living together as husband and wife. He didn’t seem to think they’d take off and explore lives of their own.

Comments included:

• “He thought everyone would do what Meri did. And that the moms would always try to uplift him in the eyes of their children. Because he never planned for his kids to have independent minds of their own.”
• “I still am shocked and confused by how long Meri stayed. I think leaving in that culture is probably rare.”
• “They definitely didn’t think they would be more popular and successful without K and R!”
• “I think it’s great that the OG3 are building their own lives with their own money, as are the OG13 (RIP Garrison). Viewers drag them for it but I think it’s wonderful. They have every right to capitalize as much as they can on the show before it ends.”
