Meri was so pretty in 2010


I'm watching the Meri special and she looked so much more natural, and pretty, back in the 2010-2011 clips. It's hard to believe that it was only six years ago.

reply

I know eh? She has changed drastically, for the worse, since the first season. In personality and appearance.

reply

Yes, you're right, personality wise too!

reply

She was so bubbly and sweet and very involved in the kids and family in general. She was always planning fun outings for the kids and having them over at her house.

Now she does non of that, she's just bitter and lonely.



~Oh look... a room full of men that have NO idea how to satisfy a woman.~

reply

I doubt any of us look better now than we did six years ago.

reply

I think Christine looks better than she did back then. She looks great to me this season. It depends on how well you take care of yourself. I'm sure stress has taken its toll on Meri, and her makeup and hair age her, IMO.

reply

I agree, I think Christine looks the best she ever has on the show.

"Shaken, not ridiculed"

reply

Didnt Christine just have a baby when the show started? So I would expect her looks to be better

reply

The fact that Christine has cut sugar out of her diet 100% makes a HUGE impact. Sugar is terrible for you on so many levels, including your appearance, but so few people actually think about it that way.

reply

I mean, I think I do. But I'm also only 19 and puberty happened.
I just felt like being a smartass :p

reply

I would say both Janelle and Christine look better now than they did six years ago.


When the show began I thought Meri was so cute and she seemed like a kind, happy person, despite having fertility issues in a polygamous lifestyle. Now she seems like a very miserable, angry, hot mess. She needs to go back to the diet she ate back in Lehi and absolutely needs to stop with the fake tanner and messing with her eyebrows. Even Kate Gosselin seems happier than Meri. When she was in Georgia she looked genuinely happy and it improved her looks greatly. A sour face is never attractive.

Also, any of the Brown women who dye their hair a darker color need to stop or pay a professional. It's not a good look for any of them.

reply

Meri really needs to do something with her awful haircolor. What is she thinking?

She needs to do something about the eyebrows first LOL

reply

That's my #1 gripe, those eyebrows!

reply

Haircolor?!? Hair in general! It looks like sh*t! Greasy and weird with stringy bangs hanging in her face... just ughhhhh! Anytime Meri is on the screen I'm always completely distracted by her awful hair and makeup and can't focus on anything she says.

reply

The worst part of the hair is the 2002 flocked out layers. It's crazy that she would think it flatters her.

reply

Oh I agree! Her hair is about 15 years out of date.

reply

LOL yup, I had that hairstyle in exactly 2002, when I was in 8th grade !

reply

Merry was never pretty, she was bubbly, likeable, and cute when the show first started.

reply

Meri's hair, weight gain and , makeup all contribute to her present unattractive state, but even more than any of that, is her dour, bitter personality. She was joyful back then, and it reflected in her attractiveness. You could see how much she loved Kody, and how happy she was.

reply

I agree, and to me, it seems Meri's dream of a sister wife (Robyn, of course), was the beginning of the end of Meri and Kody's relationship.

Be careful what one wishes for, could apply here.

Both Kody and Meri have said that their problems pre-dated Robyn.

reply

Both Kody and Meri have said that their problems pre-dated Robyn.


I know that they said that in the session with the therapist; however, during the first two seasons of the show we didn't see that.

Kody identified it as being the last 12 years. Now I am wondering what happened between them 6 years before we met this family. Six years ago Kody described each of his wives and he described Meri as his soul mate.

As we approach the season finale I am going to miss Tamryn Hall, because she would have picked up on that discrepancy. Tamryn read up on this family (including reading their book) and understood them.

If their relationship was on the rocks 12 years ago, the last 6 years have been a lie.

I don't think they felt obligated to share their marital problems with the entire world. What Meri did with the catfish forced their hand. It's not that difficult to understand.

reply

From the footage of the early episodes it seemed like Meri and Kody were very close. The rules about physical displays of affection did not seem to apply to Meri and Kody, for they were often touching, and somewhat affectionate. Meri looked at Kody with puppy dog eyes back then, and now she cannot even look him in the face.

reply

she looked different

not just the weight
she has a permanent scowl on her face now, she never smiles ever

While watching the end of this episode I wish all the Brown women would use Christine's hair stylist. Her hair is stunning. It is so healthy & shiny. Meri is just not happy.

reply

Meri is just not happy.


And her hair is just down right pissed at her and the world.

reply

The other poster mentioned Meri and the way she looks & her mood - hair can be affected by being unhappy.

reply

Robin was so tiny ! Not that she's fat now, but back then she was really skinny.

reply

She has had 2 kids back to back and now she eats like a Brown.  Seriously, she was thin at the beginning of the show. She looks fine to me now.
