We re Just Sayin
"Big Love" Keeps it Real?

The ladies on HBO's polygamist drama "Big Love"...

... and female members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Yearning for Zion Ranch.

Only one of them represents the real housewives of Schleicher County, Texas.

We're just sayin'!

4. Just wanted to point out that the show is based on a family that has gone main-stream and lives in a regular community, not on a compound. And the one that is a 'real' housewife, is the only one that was actually raised in the poligamist life style. I know I sound like I am taking your comment to seriously, but 'I'm just saying".

7. Where else have I seen women all dressed alike, under the heel of violent men with multiple wives? All religions have their nuts.

8. Just to add on to the comments from others regarding the show if you bothered to watch you would know that when they go to the "compound" that is exactly how the women look and dress, the long dresses the hair etc. Also the husband was kicked off of the compound when he was a teenager, to make it on his own so he was not a threat to any of the other men on the compound. Sounds like "Big Love" is a lot closer to the truth than we realized.

9. This is what happens when you watch waaaaaaaaaaaay too many episodes of "Little House On The Prarie".

10. Aside from the “Big Love” show, which is fiction I just have to say, the whole thing in Texas is just so bizarre. When you see those women it’s creepy. I have no idea what they are going to do about all those kids.

11. I am living in a relationship like this and it's very normal and very mainstream. Two wives, one husband and we are a very close family and do everything together. I've never been happier.

One woman yelling at you and telling you what to do is not enough. You don't realize that these women stick together and if one is mad usally all are mad and the man suffers alone.

13. These 3 do not live on a compound, but are more mainstream. The husband's family are still LDSF and live on a compound and those people are all dressed like the people in Texas. Very weird, indeed.

14. I can't believe our government took ALL the kids from the compond,after all, aren't the teeage girls the only ones in eminient danger? I know people will disagree, but I have a 5 year old and a 6 year old. What genius decided the children 5 and up didn't need to be with their mothers? Well, at least they didn't kill them all like at Waco.
