I watched it, and these people are exactly the type of plural marriage people who I have no issue with. I am not a fan of teenage marriages and secret living, but grown people making decisions and allowing their kids to make their own choices is fine by me. I think the first wife was the youngest when she married (19 or so) and the others were in their early twenties. Not saying they aren't a product of their environment and sought out a plural marriage, but at least they aren't bilking the welfare system and the women go outside the home for school and work.
I really liked the one sister wife (I think the one who is pregnant and stays home) telling the girls they need to go to college/get an education before they get married. This is so different from the compound type FLDS people who close off the outside world and don't promote education at all. I also think their next house should have one room for Kody so he can keep all his clothes in one location and if he is sick not spread it around. I think his car is actually a four seater, with a not kid seat friendly back seat.
There is a colony not far from here, and I'm not talking about the one in British Columbia, but in North Idaho. I've seen them in Costco and I wasn't shocked because they were straight off the set of Big Love in hair and dress, but that it was on a Sunday and the woman was by herself with one infant. I guess they don't travel in packs here like the Mennonite and Hutterite people do.
