The Browns are back in the spotlight—and not in the way fans expected. After years of watching Sister Wives unravel, viewers were stunned to learn that Kody Brown has signed on for a completely different kind of reality experience: Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. His appearance instantly sparked new questions: is this simply another grab for fame, or could the Browns actually be facing money troubles now that three of his wives have walked away?
Kody Brown Takes on a Shocking Challenge
Kody Brown has long held the reputation of being one of the most disliked men on reality TV. Many point to his habit of playing the victim and the way he treated his wives as reasons for the backlash. With only Robyn remaining by his side, fans were floored when they saw Kody’s name announced among the contestants for Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 4.
The show isn’t just another reality gig—it pushes participants through brutal mental and physical trials. Viewers, however, seem more interested in watching whether Kody crumbles under the pressure than in cheering him on. For many, his decision to join the cast raised eyebrows and fueled speculation: is this about testing his endurance, or about shoring up dwindling finances?
Could Robyn Be Next in Line?
As soon as Kody’s participation was revealed, attention shifted to Robyn. Fans began to wonder if she, too, might step into reality television outside of Sister Wives. The speculation was brutal at times. Online chatter included remarks like, “Seems like the grifter twosome (Kody and Robyn) are needing new sources of revenue now that the OG3 left.”
Others joked that Robyn might soon end up on Pawn Stars, hocking family possessions for quick cash. Some fans even imagined her on a competition show like The Traitors, poking fun at what they see as her dramatic, tearful tendencies: “She would do the fake cry at breakfast when the people she killed wouldn’t turn up, and then all day during the game talks she’d be like, ‘I dunno. I’m just so confused. I dunno what happened.’”
But not everyone buys into the idea. After all, Kody once promised Robyn she’d never have to work. Critics call her “lazy” and compare her personality to “a door knob,” but whether she’d actually say yes to another project remains a big question mark.
The Bigger Picture
With three wives gone, Kody and Robyn have lost not only emotional support but also, potentially, financial stability. For years, the family operated as a large unit—more adults meant more income and more financial juggling. Now, with just two left, the money flow could be tighter than ever.
Kody’s leap into Special Forces could simply be a shot at reinvention. Or, as fans increasingly suspect, it may be a sign that the Browns are scrambling to secure new income streams. If Robyn does eventually appear on another show, it would only confirm what many already believe: reality TV is no longer just their claim to fame—it’s their lifeline.
