Sister Wives star Robyn Brown looked pretty desperate when she first came on the scene with Kody Brown, and fans suggest she never lost that air of desperation through a decade of seasons on this TLC series.

She became the youngest wife of Kody, joining three other women to make up this polygamous marriage. Looking back, fans suggest that Kody was somehow drawn to Robyn’s desperation, and they see this happening again today.

Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Comes On Board Helpless?

The first time Robyn Brown graced the screen of the Sister Wives series, she needed help. The three wives Kody Brown already had tucked away at home with a dozen kids and one on the way didn’t have what Robyn had. She needed to be rescued.

Robyn had three kids when she first met Kody Brown. This woman was so broke that she had to borrow money for gas to get to the Sister Wives’ house. Fans learned this from Robyn when she described her destitute situation many years back.

So, borrowing money for gas suggests she was in dire straights and Kody seemed happy to rescue her by making her his wife. She landed in Utah, where Kody Brown secured her a separate home from the house he shared with the other three wives.

Despite the three original wives scrambling to get to work and make ends meet, she didn’t have to work. Her household expenses came from the Brown family’s cookie jar, where the other wives deposited their paychecks.

So, it seemed as if Kody needed to take care of her. This coincides with what Paedon Brown once said. Kody’s adult son described how Robyn found a man willing to take care of her, and her three children.

Robyn’s Desperation Filled a Need for Kody Brown?

Sister Wives fans have seen all the wives become desperate at one time or another. But with Robyn Brown, it seemed different for Kody Brown. As far as he was concerned, this wife was slighted, she always got the “table scraps” from the other wives.

Robyn’s co-wives fought against their desperate feelings while Robyn seemed to bask in it. Sister Wives fans think she used Kody’s need to be a hero, or a knight in shining armor, to her benefit.

Sister Wives Playing Out Desperate Moments…

Robyn Brown kept this going through the seasons of Sister Wives. Fans recall one rather “creepy” incident that caused jaws to drop. In Vegas, they weren’t near any church for their religion, so Kody gave services in one of the wife’s homes.

Kody Brown called on Robyn Brown to deliver the sermon one week. The Sister Wives fans still talk about the contents of that sermon today, which came off more like a confession. This happened years ago, as she shared her words in front of several impressionable teens and preteens.

Robyn cried over giving her purity to a man who took advantage of her. Because of this, she became pregnant and married a man, who was all wrong for her. But her biggest regret was not saving her purity for Kody Brown.

Sister Wives fans suggested Kody Brown ate this up. Putting him on a pedestal for coming along and saving her was right up his alley. And she made him the hero for this deed.

Robyn Changes Kody’s History

Another move fans describe as desperate and also a little “creepy” was when Robyn Brown presented Kody Brown with a gift. She wanted to be part of the family history like the other wives. So, she had a fake portrait of Kody and her kids as babies done by an artist.

Then she presented this to him as a gift. And he shared it with the world on an episode of his show, along with a public thank you to Robyn on social media.

The faces of the other wives seemed to say it all when she gave him the portrait on the show. Then the Sister Wives viewers jumped all over this. Again, Kody could see she was desperate to be an accepted part of the family.

Kody Brown saw this desperation as loyalty to him. He once mentioned how Robyn went to a great extent as his only obliging wife. He eventually described Robyn Brown as the only loyal wife on a Sister Wives episode a few seasons back.

Sister Wives fans found the portrait above “creepy” amongst other descriptions. Kody didn’t even know Robyn or her children when they were babies, at the age she had them in the portrait. Plus, she used a picture of Kody holding his biological kids and had them replaced with her children.

Desperation Becomes a Skill for Robyn?

So, Robyn’s desperation comes into play again. Sister Wives fans point out that this neediness of hers seemed to capture Kody, making the polygamous husband a one-woman man.

Some fans think he continues to rescue her by giving her a life of luxury and not expecting her to go out and get a job. Viewers of the series suggest he might still have an intact marriage with four wives if maybe they were more needy. But the other three Sister Wives women were self-sufficient and didn’t hold Kody Brown on high as their hero, But Robyn Brown did.

So her desperation likely became attractive to Kody Brown, and some fans think she knew this. So, one theory suggests she sets up desperate situations and lets Kody rescue her. Sister Wives fans heard him say to Robyn that she “gets table scraps” but they witnessed the opposite.

This seems to indicate that Robyn knows how to manipulate the once-shared husband. So, the more desperate Robyn Brown becomes, the more Kody Brown rescues her, which speaks to his need to be a hero in his wife’s eyes. Sister Wives fans see this both on and off the TLC series.
