It may have been the format of Part 1 of Season 17 Sister Wives One-on-One, which aired on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022, that's to blame for how Sukanya’s questions for each Brown family member came across. Per Reality Titbit, the Find Love Live host interviewed Kody, Janelle, Meri, Christine, and Robyn separately. So, unlike other reality show reunions, we didn’t get to see any infighting among the group, with the host being forced to interject.
The same format was followed for Season 18.
According to Today, plenty of bombshells came out of the first part of the special, including that Kody and Janelle had separated, and that at one point, Kody considered reconciling with Meri, to whom he is no longer wed either. But ultimately, Sister Wives fans took to social media to plead with TLC and the host to not go so easy on the Browns, especially when it came to Christine’s role in all of the family drama.
It seems as though that advice wasn't taken into account for the Season 18 tell all.
