Season 16 of TLC's 'Sister Wives' is wrapping up with a 3 part special, which is honestly the most entertaining to watch. Since the interview is conducted one-on-one, the wives (especially Christine, Meri, and Janelle) speak their minds and truths without the presence of their overbearing husband. In the past, the entire Brown family would sit down as a group with a host to discuss the happenings of the season. That is not the case this time around and we're indeed grateful for the hour-long talks with Krishnan.

In the first two parts of the 'Sister Wives' Season 16 interview, it's safe to say that neither Kody nor his 4 wives held back; they spilled all the tea there is! We got to know that Kody is jealous of Janelle and Christine's friendship, admits to needing therapy to reconnect with his sons and that he isn't "in love" with Janelle but loves her, among several other bombs. The man also believes that Meri actually had an affair and wasn’t just a victim of catfishing. 



 

Season 16 also marks the first time (since Season 13) that fans of the reality show seem to be enjoying the series special. This could mostly be because of the change in format, by hey, no complaints there! In addition, both seasons 14 and 15 didn't have a closing special. 



 

Part one of the special aired on January 30, 2022, with part 2 following a week later, on February 6, 2022. The polygamist family shared a lot of insight from their experience of living together. We also learned a lot about the wives' struggles, Kody's "problems" and the family's many troubling dynamics.



 

So when will we get to see part 3? Since the Super Bowl is airing during the same time, we'll have to wait with bated breath to hear what shocking news the Browns are about to drop. 



 

Will part 3 of the special see Janelle and Meri finally leaving Kody? Will Kody have started therapy? Stay tuned to find out. 

Season 16 of 'Sister Wives' airs every Sunday at 10 pm ET on TLC.
