  1. Josh probably used Apple Pay with his own thumbprint for verification. He’s just that stupid.
  2. They always were, they just managed to stay one crucial step ahead of the consequences. Jeremy never seems to really work at anything other than as a feeble wannabe influencer and semi-professional MacArthur suckup and Jinger has no apparent marketable skills and no education. Sooner or later, the Grift Gravy Train derails and reality hits home.
  3. If TLC’s lawyers didn’t write an extensive morals clause into the Counting On contract afterJoshgate 2.0 I would be shocked. The Duggars made their brand all about children and holier than thou and they’ve never backed off on either. Joshgate 3.0 clobbers that brand on both counts. I don’t see them coming back from this one. Bye, J’chelle. Hope you saved some money to help feed all those people.
  4. It’s like that “if a tree falls in a forest” thing…if Jeremy isn’t on social, does he still exist?
  5. I had forgotten that the raid was way back at the end of 2019. So the real question…what did Anna know and when did she know it? And yet she has another baby? SMDH.
  6. I don’t. He’s been Heir to the Arkansas Fundie Throne for a very long time and his parents, wife, and TLC have all kept things pretty cushy for him no matter what he did. As long as they can all tell themselves that it’s Satan’s fault, he’s fine. And his smug shot has that look. The damage to the brand, however, is not something they can fix this time.
  7. Okay, I am clueless about any of this…but that Sun article references a charge of downloading “a” photo and possessing “a” photo? Is that possible? Would they bother with going after Josh for that? If there’s only one, I can see a good defense attorney arguing that and winning pretty handily?
  8. You know what, I’m really not sad for her. She’s closed her eyes and pretended all is well for a very long time. Did she really have zero clue as to what he was being so “diligent” about? Their children, though…what a mess. Poor things have to grow up with this.
  9. So, those of you with experience in legal matters, how does he manage to have his charges not revealed publicly?
  10. Yes…if I read that correctly. I wonder how TLC feels now about letting Josh sneak back into their filming lately.
  11. Well that pretty much rules out any Duggar dwelling. He’s going to have to go to a hotel. He’ll probably love it.
  12. Yep. They’re going to lean HARD on religious persecution and probably have Anna set up a Gofundme to grift from the leghumpers. I can only hope this is the final straw for TLC, though…
  13. I must have started to watch this show four or five times over the years and every time I was so creeped out by Roland I would nope out mid-way through the first episode. Shudder. My sister convinced me to just get through the first season and she was right...but I still squirm every time he appears. And Jocelyn is way too pretty and smart to ever be believable as his wife, let alone a wife who still has the hots for him. Blech.
  14. If I had a sip every time Paul said, “melts in the mouth” this episode, I would have been passed out by the Showstopper. Now that I finally understand that Netflix is running these backwards in time, I have two peeves. First, in this season, they’re pronounced “ladyfingers” by everyone. There was some later season where everyone, particularly Paul, was mincing on about “ladies’ fingers” as the plural form. Why? Ditto macaroon, which later became “macarON.” Yes, I am that petty. But it’s because GBBO is the only thing that is both predictable and soothing in this hellscape world and I need consistency, dammit.
  15. Thanks for this. I’m really not getting the Patrick thing yet at all...he seems like a bland little pudding face with a condescending streak...and as I am fiercely protective of David I am not at all convinced this guy is worthy of him. But I will give it a chance, even though the horror show of Moira waking up next to the ever-creepy Roland (does he ever change at ALL in this show?) caused me to leap, shrieking, off the treadmill and now I’m scarred.
  16. IIRC, Liz said the pregnancy was a surprise to Luke, claiming that TJ had left her over it. Then Luke lost his mind at TJ, who said it was Liz who threw HIM out, and that he was on board with the whole pregnancy thing. But I may have that wrong...those two were highly forgettable on a good day.
  17. Forgot about that one. Yikes. I guess it’s always 1955 in Stars Hollow.
  18. Wow, I hadn’t done the math, but you’re absolutely right. Unplanned pregnancies: Lorelai, Rory, Lane, April’s mom whose name I can’t remember right now, Sookey (twice, but the vasectomy fakeout was a terrible plot device), am I missing anyone? Apparently there’s something in the SH water supply... * Apparently my hatred for Christopher and subconscious desire that he never appeared on the show caused me to blank on Gigi. So there’s another one. Good grief.
  19. She says her biggest splurge in the bedroom was the art...which she then plunked a chair, a table and a plant in front of so you can’t see it. Putting cloth skirts over bottom kitchen units is some cheap, Ramen-eating, couch-change scrounging, scraping through grad school nonsense. I will never get how this woman has any credibility as a designer.
  20. Oh, yes. Their truffle porcini filled something or other pasta went into the trash after just smelling it...not even my retriever wouldn’t eat it. We had toast for dinner. The best thing about brownies is that shiny, super thin crust on the top. All of the contestants’ attempts obliterated that part.
  21. I think it’s Matt’s silly voices and faces that are off putting. It’s juvenile shtick, not wit. Doesn’t work for me. And I think he brings Noel down to his level. Noel keeps over-acting his response to Matt’s inanity; Noel, Matt is rarely truly funny and no amount of you leaping around in faux hysterics will change that. Let’s get Lottie a hosting gig. She’s actually quick and witty and could cut Paul down to size quite neatly.
  22. I swear Noel’s smoking pot between takes or something. He laughs too long and too loud at everything, even when it’s not particularly funny. Which, this season, is most of the time. Matt is still trying too hard. Not feeling it. Rowan clearly couldn’t care less, which is fine, but why bother then? I found Maks difficult to look at and I’m not even sure why, but it’s bullshit he was sent home over Rowan. There’s something off about Dave, I agree. His eyes stay cold even when he’s smiling or laughing. Dunno. Maybe it’s Covid and the isolation, but this season feels forced to me. I need less slapstick and more pretty scenery shots....lambs baaa-ing, ducks waddling, water droplets glistening on wildflowers...always works for me!
  23. Okay, so I had just gotten past the whole Noel/Sandy transition...took a while, because honestly, yes, we get it, Sandy is short, but Noel, if I’m desperately trying to concentrate during the last three minutes of a challenge and you insist on getting in my personal space and requiring me to respond to you, you’re getting a baking bowl over your head...and then I’m sitting here minding my own business and the next season rolls up...and Sandy has turned into some weird squidgy bald guy who’s not half as amusing as he thinks he is. WTH? Why do they have such a hard time keeping people on this show? Other than Paul, who’s gotten worse with the stalking and the glaring, every other person has been replaced. I am not amused.
