What is 'Sister Wives' Season 17 all about?
Season 16 of 'Sister Wives' ended with Christine announcing that she'll be leaving Kody, her husband of 25 years. Season 17 picks off from there. In the trailer released by TLC, we see Christine telling Kody and the family that she's leaving him. In her confessional, she shares her theory about how Kody seems to care only about his fourth and youngest wife, Robyn.

He can be heard shouting, "It’s just a knife in the kidney, after all the years, the sacrifices I made to love you.” Yep, looks like there's plenty of drama awaiting us.
