Chapter 3: What insights does Chris Klemens provide about Mormon Wives?
Let's fucking go.
From the Valley joins the Vilefiles.
I'm kind of a Janet stan.
I respect the hell for her coming. I mean, I think how many times have we said Janet's the worst?
We could actually roll a montage. Literally. Tuesday's episode.
I'm sure there's people out there who think that sometimes we are critical on purpose to try to almost bait and dare people to come on our show. That is not our intention.
I think it is the opposite. It's the opposite.
Like we say this often, we love reality TV. And in a lot of ways we cover it like sports, you know, we're fans, we're fanatics. We like to break it down. This show started being a show based using reality TV and pop culture is a through line to discuss, like just to discuss relationships, you know, discuss people, human interactions, you know? So sometimes that causes us to be critical of people.
We've never met in person causes us to be critical of people who don't you know, aren't in control of their edit. And we understand that it can piss people off. And we understand that it might cause them to hate us or never want to come on our show. Like, I doubt Sierra is ever going to come on the show.

Janet, welcome.
Hi, thanks for having me.
How are you?
I'm scared a little bit.
We've been critical, as I like to say, of your character on television. Never met you in person. And I just want to say thank you for coming because lots of times the people we tend to be critical of don't show up or don't want to come. So props to you for being willing to come because, you know, we've obviously have been critical on the show. So I do want to thank you for coming.
I really, I really appreciate it. I always look forward to these conversations because I know what it's like to be on the wrong side of reality TV and have people like say things that I don't agree with. But do you even list? Do you know what we said about you? Do we know?
I've gotten sent, I've had a couple fans recently, I think in like the last week, be like, they said there's a chair welcome for you if you disagree, you know, on whatever they're saying. So you need to go and set the record straight. And I was like, all right.
