"I am soooo rooting for Meri to find happiness! Get it Girl #sisterwives #SisterWivesTLC," a fan commented.
"Wait hold up… Meri likes a tall guy who is around 6'2 but Kody doesn't look any taller than 5'10? He sure had hell doesn't look 6' #SisterWivesTLC #SisterWives," another fan commented.

Some fans reacted to Meri and her friend, Jenn, talking about her dating.

"Meri's friend is a friend I would want for my friend team. #SisterWivesTLC #SisterWives," a netizen reacted.
"We love this Meri!!! She is so fun and hilarious #SisterWivesTLC #sisterwives," another person commented.
"The #SisterWivesTLC Meri/Jenn comedy duo makes me wanna yank my hair out and.." a netizen wrote.

While some fans applauded Meri for dating, a few did not like the idea and criticized her.

"Please no more of Meri and the dating app…#SisterWivesTLC," an X user wrote.
"I don't know what's worse…Meri's dating saga and her forced attempts to be funny or the idea of Robyn smacking Kodys a*s in public. #SisterWivesTLC," another person commented.
"Meri stop with this date stuff please on something else #SisterWivesTLC," one more fan wrote.
"Meri needs to realize that a lot of people have watched about her, read about her or heard about her life as a polygamist. It's reasonable to expect people to not want a romantic relationship with her. No one will date Kody after Robyn either. #SisterWivesTLC," an X user wrote.
"Well Robyn We Don't Care that you won't use an app for dating or whatever. Christine did and she now has a man who loves her. #SisterWivesTLC #SisterWives," another person wrote.

Sister Wives Season 20: Meri explores speed dating while reflecting on her being raised and married in a plural family

The current season of Sister Wives featured Meri Brown going on a speed dating session. While there, she was accompanied by her best friend, Jenn. The two talked about what kind of questions she should ask and, if she faced certain questions, what her response should be.

"The fact that I am 54 years old, and I am out here, dating again. It's strange. It's surreal. It's weird. It's nerve-wrecking, and it's hard," conefssed Meri Brown.

She noted that she was not looking for a spark. She was looking to have a conversation and then see how it went.

Further, in Sister Wives episode, Meri Brown talked about her association with the concept of the plural family.

"This topic of me being raised in a plural family and being married in a plural family, and now not being in a plural family, all these different aspects about my life are kind of huge," confessed Meri.

She added that if it felt natural and made sense in the conversation, then she would talk about those topics while dating. Seeing her opening up about her dating sparked a debate among Sister Wives fans.

They shared their views on Meri's dating, her conversations with Jenn, and coming from a plural background.
