“Is that normal?” That was Janelle Brown’s text to a friend a few weeks into talking to Pete, after he remembered the little things she told him, then asked about them. Her friend’s answer was that yes, remembering is baseline. Janelle’s reply, according to reports, was a stunned: “Oh wow, really?” Here is everything we know about Season 21 so far.
Sunday, November 15: “What Did I Get Myself Into?”
Season 21, Episode 7 airs Sunday, November 15, at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. According to TV listings, Meri tries tantra yoga dating, which involves some uncomfortable hugging. Christine and Janelle go on a camping trip. Then Meri meets up with a man she connected with at speed dating. Sunday tells us if anyone from that room is worth a second conversation. For how we got here, here is every Season 21 episode so far, ranked worst to best.
Janelle and Pete: The Question She Texted Her Friend
Janelle, 57, hard-launched Pete in August 2026, writing, “I wasn’t looking. I certainly wasn’t expecting you.” The two met on the blind date where she met Pete, set up by friend Alice, at The Stratosphere. Pete, 62, had never seen the show. When he asked how the two women knew each other, Christine answered, “We were married to the same man.” Janelle leaned in: “At the same time.”
The follow-through is what has fans emotional. Pete opens doors, worries when she drives long distances, and makes her feel “cherished.” She calls him “my rock.” It is still long distance — Pete in Las Vegas, Janelle in North Carolina — and they try not to go more than two or three weeks apart, with Pete eventually moving east.
That place is Taeda Farms, 156 acres in Chocowinity, North Carolina, bought with her daughter Madison Brush and son-in-law Caleb Brush. She moved into her new house there in March 2026 and is building a flower farm, with a road named “Bob Blvd” for her late son Garrison.
Meri’s Second Act Starts With a Hug She Didn’t Ask For
Meri married Kody in 1990, confirmed their split in January 2023, and has said she stayed so long because she was “a little bit stubborn and just stuck around.” She went to San Francisco with her sister Rebekah to scout the Bay Area — and walked into a tantra yoga speed-dating event she once called “really, really, really super inappropriate.”

Meanwhile, Meri’s blunt verdict on Robyn — “definitely no trust” — still stands.
Christine, David, and the Line He Drew
Christine left Kody in November 2021 and married David Woolley in Moab in October 2023. Season 21 put their marriage in couples therapy, on camera. David told the therapist that with him she is “Christine Woolley,” but around people from her past she is “Christine Brown” again — and he is “coming to the point where it’s either me or them.” In a game of “Let’s Get Deep,” he joked a shared hall pass for Elizabeth Hurley would be “like polygamy.” Christine shut that down.
What We Still Don’t Know
Kody and Robyn have not addressed their exit since the September trailer confirmed they would not return after 16 years. Janelle has not spoken to them since the Coyote Pass sale, reportedly $1.5 million in April 2025. TLC has not announced a Season 22, and nobody knows yet if Meri’s speed-date connection survives a second meeting, or when Pete moves east.
Christine defends her finished happy ending. Janelle has the farm and a man who remembers the little things. Meri has the hardest road. So now it’s your turn: after 30 years with Kody, should Pete pack up Las Vegas and move to Janelle’s farm, or is Janelle better off keeping her North Carolina life exactly as it is?
