It's happening folks - we've long spoken of Allie's obsession with the long running TLC masterpiece, but today you're hearing it right from the horses mouth: we're talking about Sister Wives. For the blessedly uninitiated, Sister Wives is a reality television series based around the Polygamist Brown family, with Husband Kody and Wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. I don't think anyone would call it a "good show" but that's not why we watch it, right? Say your prayers, Horror Honeys! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
