In preparation for the Season 2 premiere Sunday, March 13 on TLC, the "Sister Wives" cast appears on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday (March 10) to talk about their lives as a polygamist family.Does Kody ever say wrong name of wife:
Ellen: Now, you're in four houses with 16 kids. That is a lot. That's costly.
Christine: It is. We cut corners. We use coupons. We don't own a boat.
Robyn: Hand-me-downs.
Ellen: You don't own a boat?
Kody: Our neighbors own boats.
Janelle: We do second-hand stores. It's hand-me-downs. Our cars are old.
Ellen: So you have different nights? Is that right?
Kody: Yes, it's a schedule and we rotate through the schedule.
Ellen: So you have to drive to different houses all the time. Do you ever wake up in the night and bump in the wall because you're going to the bathroom in the wrong house?
Kody: Wake up, "Where am I?" [laughs]
Ellen: Because that must be confusing, right?
Kody: It's actually not. Packing to come here took me four hours. Because it's like, "Oh, my favorite socks are at Meri's house." And I was packing at Janelle's.
Ellen: So, Janelle had you last? [laughs] Well, you know what I mean because you're in somebody's house. Do you ever say the wrong name?
Kody: You know, it's funny, I never did until Robyn came into the family and lately I've been slipping up a lot.
Robyn: It's true. He can only remember three things at once.
Why Christine wanted to be Kody's third wife:
Ellen: And you're the third wife?
Christine: Oh my gosh yes.
Ellen: What does that mean, "I want to be the third wife?"
Christine: I don't want a guy around all the time. I didn't want to marry a guy by himself. It sounded like too much work.
Meri's response to criticism:
Ellen: What do you say to that [criticism of their lifestyle]?
Meri: I just feel like we're all adults. Anybody, any of us, I feel like are free to do whatever we want if it's not hurting any one else. I think we should all be free to love who we want.

Charlie Sheen must be a hero to
these Sister wives people.
What's Gordon Ramsay doin' there?
I'd love to hear their opinions on homosexuality.
^Joe,
I would too!
I've watched this show from the beginning, I find it interesting to no end...and in one of the first episodes, one of the wives said they don't care what their kids do, but the girls were expected to finish college before getting married. that in and of itself surprised me, but definitely branching out into homosexuality (which, odds are, having sixteen kids total, they should have to deal with in their lives) is a total different subject. i have no idea how these people would react to that!
^ Joe and Steph. very interesting. I never thought of that topic in their lives and yes, with all those children chances are pretty high that one or two could be gay.
I cant say i endorse poligamy, but honestly it is their lives and they all seem like intelligent people. They are not hurting anyone so who am I to judge others!
