Margene is such a brat! Nicki is manipulative and bitchy, but I think Sara has the potential to grow up and be normal.

I know Season 4 begins sometime in the winter, so I've started watching the show. I hope to be caught up by the time Season 4 premieres. Anyhow, I'm
almost finished with Season 1 and thus far, Margene (sp?) and Nicki make me want to pull my hair out. I still don't know how I feel about the show as a
whole, and while I'm watching it I often think, "OMG, these people are idiots" or "I'm so thankful this is not my life", but
I'm still watching so there must be something I like.

I watched season 1 when it first aired and just in the past couple weeks caught up on the other seasons so I'm ready for the January premiere...trust me
when I say your feelings about all of them will probably change, multiple times throughout the seasons. Margene was probably my least favorite in the beginning
and is now my favorite.

Season 4 starts next Sunday!
I couldn't stand Margene in the beginning and she is still my least favorite of the wives. You will eventually see a softer side to Nicki and see that she has her reasons for being so cold hearted. The Nicki/Barb relationship is deeper than one would think. If you're like anyone else who watches the show, your hate for Bill will soon overshadow any feelings you have towards any other character. |

I agree. I felt by the end of season three, I couldn't stand Bill.
The show took a different turn seasons 2/3 but it's still amazing. Can't wait till next week!

I can't even remember what happened last season! I wanted to rewatch it, but I had no idea it was coming back next week!

I've watched however many seasons are on dvd. 2, I think. (actually, I cheated. I didn't watch any of the last disc and only part of the second to last
disc.) I really liked it at first and got one of my co-workers hooked on it. Then I completely lost interest. The whole Juniper Creek part ruins it for me the
most. I just can't stand watching those people.
Margene is my favorite character in the whole show and Nikki is my least favorite of the wives. It kind of shocked me to see that they were openly admitting in the show that Margene was the attractive, young wife. Young obviously but I always thought Ginnifer Goodwin was type cast in Hollywood as being the bubbly less-than-attractive second fiddle. I think she's really pretty and has a nice figure but I just thought that's how Hollywood typically casts her. |

I think they're all attractive in their own way, but I think Nicki has the best body of the three.

^Oh my god, I could NEVER feel sorry for Nicki, she's such a conniving bitch. We all know (those who have watched all 3 seasons) what happened in her
youth and why maybe she's messed up but that doesn't give her the right to be a bitch to everyone and lie and cheat and go into massive amounts of
debt. Just crazy. And I love that she knows WHY Bill had to marry her
It's so wrong but I just love this family and I can't wait to see the new season, it looks so good from the previews! And I can't stand that holiday promo with Roman and his wives/family, all singing a Christmas song and dancing around a big Christmas tree. Blah! According to my Entertainment Weekly magazine a couple weeks ago, some hints about the new season, or spoilers, are that Bill may enter into politics as a non-polygamous family and then if he wins, he'll come out at a polygamist and hopefully his family can be the poster child for polygamy and show it in a new light/good light. It also said that season 4 would explore the sexual chemistry or wannabe relationship between Ben and Margene. That REALLY pisses me off because even though they have hinted towards it many times throughout all 3 seasons, I have felt that it's only been from Ben and Margene has not reciprocated the feelings that Ben has, so that pisses me off that they will spend some time on that. |

Beklah - I wish you'd put the last paragraph of your post under a spoiler tag. I'm on the 2nd season...
As for Margene, she has her nice moments but honestly, she's a little full of herself. She thinks she's the prettiest thing walking, and she openly flirts with Ben. She acts like a child. I don't care if she's in her early 20's, you can still be young and classy. FFS. |

Oh no, I'm sorry! I opened the thread and just scrolled to the bottom to quick reply, not really reading any comments. I thought this was going to be a
Big Love post because the 4th season starts next week so I didn't really read any comments besides Tiger's when I was writing my reply. If it makes
any difference, I don't even know if any of what I wrote is true, it was just hinted in the magazine. As for the Benny stuff, they've already
established he's got a crush on Margie, right? That's all there is, the crush/sexual chemistry on Benny's part, like there isn't anything
overly huge. I know you just said that she openly flirts with Ben, but honestly, there really isn't anything to the storyline anymore, in my opinion, so
I'm just confused as to why they hinted towards it in the mag. I mean stuff happens, I personally didn't take it as huge stuff, just a point in the
storyline about the family. I really honestly don't think anything is spoiled, there is so much more stuff that is bigger in the 2nd and 3rd season and
then from the previews, it looks like it gets really good in the 4th season but you still don't know what exactly is going to happen. But again, I'm
so so so so sorry, I should have read because I know how I hate being spoiled with stuff.
I want to ask though, after seeing how Margie and Benny act around each other, do you get the feeling that she purposely flirts with him? Or just does it because it's who she is/was? Like I got the feeling that she wanted to be their friend more than a mom and as the seasons go on, she grows up more and becomes a mom to them instead of a friend. |

But that's the only open story that still really interests me (even though it's gross). I feel guilty though b/c I know my co-worker is still hoping that I'll rent them for him and discuss. |

Okay, I can't believe I'm saying this, but for the last two episodes I've really liked Margene.

Oh, and another thing - Rhonda is like a rabid animal. Someone needs to put that bitch down.
ETA: Okay, my brief like of Margene is over. She's a freaking moron, and she's in love with herself. Bored now.

This may change, but I'm growing to love Nicki. I know she's messed up, manipulative, hateful (at times), and warped but for whatever reason I
can't help but love that character. I might feel differently as I continue with Season 3, but I think she truly cares about her family.

Season 3 is an interesting one for Nicki.. you're definitely rooting for her at points, but you hate her too at points. The very ending to Season 3 is
pretty big actually.
Nicki is a bit self absorbed, yes, but a lot of the time its because her loyalties lie in the wrong place. She's never been first. Never. Sometimes, she has to put herself first for herself because no one else does. |

beklah - To answer your question, I think Margene is so full of herself that she honestly thinks regular rules/norms don't apply to her. If she saw someone
else in her position flirting with Ben she'd be all, "That's wrong! Do you/we think that's wrong? It's wrong, right?" But since
it's her it's perfectly acceptable.
Basically, she's an entitled brat. |
