Sister Wives: How A Cast Shakeup With Christine Brown & David Woolley As The Stars Could Help Season 20 Be Successful (Robyn & Kody Should Be Downgraded)

Sister Wives season 19 has fans thinking that the show could be over for good, but switching the focus to Christine Brown and David Woolley is exactly what the show needs. Kody Brown and Robyn Brown, his only remaining wife, have become ostensibly monogamous in the aftermath of his messy separations from Christine, Meri Brown, and Janelle Brown. Kody has gotten increasingly nasty and hostile towards his former wives, exploding into the Coyote Pass drama dominating the current season.

Meanwhile, one of the season’s biggest highlights was Christine’s fairy-tale wedding to David in Moab, proving she's fully embracing her new life away from polygamy. But while Christine is basking in her happily-ever-after, the rest of the family is dealing with fractures that may never be repaired, exacerbated by separations and Garrison Brown's tragic and untimely passing. Sister Wives season 20 could live on if the show switches its main character focus from downers Kody and Robyn to the vibrant and exciting Christine.

Christine & David Have A Lot Going On

Their Lives Are More Interesting

After breaking free from Kody, Christine's journey should have taken center stage because of its sheer excitement. Her whirlwind romance with David, culminating in an engagement by April 2023 and a wedding just months later, was one of the most exciting things to happen in Sister Wives' history. Unlike Kody and Robyn, Christine and David radiate joy, and Christine made it clear she’s happier than ever.

Meanwhile, Kody and Robyn’s storyline has taken a nosedive into emotional turmoil. With Meri, Janelle, and Christine out of the picture, Kody has gone from being the head of a plural family to struggling in a monogamous marriage with Robyn, who isn't thrilled about the change. Robyn has admitted to having a hard time adjusting, and while that was interesting at first, it's grown stale.

Christine Is A Fan Favorite, Unlike Kody & Robyn

Unlike Kody and Robyn, fans actually like Christine. Christine has solidified her status as a fan-favorite on Sister Wives, and it's not hard to see why. Since leaving Kody, Christine has stepped into her own power, embracing a new chapter in life. Her dynamic with her kids (which is overwhelmingly positive) and new husband would be a better exploration than Kody and Robyn's increasingly dull and depressing marriage.

Christine & David Could Make Season 20 A Huge Success

The Series Needs A Fresh Perspective

Christine and David could be the key to making Sister Wives season 20 a massive success, and the show should lean into their love story rather than continuing to center Kody and Robyn. After Garrison's death, the show needs a more uplifting narrative, offering a stark contrast to the tension-filled dynamic between Kody and Robyn. Christine has openly shared her happiness, shutting down speculation about marital issues and reinforcing that she and David are thriving.

Christine's children, friendship with Janelle, and marriage to David are the most interesting topics on Sister Wives right now.

Meanwhile, Christine and Janelle's evolving friendship has also been popular among fans, and their journeys hold more weight than Kody’s ongoing frustrations. If Sister Wives shifts its focus to Christine and David, it could breathe new life into the series, delivering the empowering, feel-good storyline that people want. Kody and Robyn's story has grown stale.

Sister Wives airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC and streams on Discovery Plus.
