Someone should make a Top Chef version of the movie Series 7, where a Sudden Death Quick Fire challenge has the loser being butchered and used as the protein in the main challenge.

If I were Jessa, I would want a home that was too small for any of my family to stay over, ever. After living with that many people, I'd want to be able to say, "sorry you have to leave now, but we don't have any spare room", all the while being grateful they were going.

I wonder if Michelle would have had as many babies as she could if all the older girls had been born boys, and she had no one to do the child rearing for her.

I don't get why this show keeps insisting Rayna is too old, when actual woman of country music are doing just fine selling albums and concert tickets even beyond Rayna's age. And even in the first season, when they said she wasn't selling concert tickets because her newest album wasn't a hit...fans who liked all the previous albums would still buy tickets, because they always play the stuff people loved from their old albums (at least the people I've seen in concert did). It annoys me.

That was the best episode of The Cosby Show ever. I imagine the Duggars would be scandalized by Claire Huxtable, only having 5 kids, and being a working mother.

It's been awhile since I've done physics, but it's something to do with how derby cars move because of gravity, and the more mass, the greater the force. So the heavier kids would make the cars go faster.

I haven't watched it yet, but is there a good reason she has to have an American accent, instead of just being a Scottish chick living in America?

If you really believe that life starts at conception, and abortion is murder, how can you see miscarriage as anything other than God murdering babies?

That's my problem with any missionaries who show up to people in genuine need and just hand them bibles and religion. Unless it's edible, a bible won't help a starving person. I'm not religious, but I do admire all the genuine missionaries, who actually get in there and help with food, and building houses etc.

Easiest way to piss off the parents who give their kids names like Kharringtyn, is to pronounce it like the added H gives it a 'ch' sound the way it would if it was an h after a c.

I work in a private hospital, and we once had a woman call and tell us that she had never spent a minute away from her husband, so she would be staying with him during his hospital stay. When she was informed that it would be $50 a night, not covered by insurance, and she'd be paying for her own meals, so suddenly decided to learn to have some time alone.

The thing that annoys me most with this show is the whole Auggie "I'm only this many" thing. Just say "I'm only five." Arrggghhhh.

I probably won't be watching even though I love Bakula and Pounder, but I would have liked if they'd had Zoe McLellan playing the same character she played in JAG which NCIS: TOS spun from. (It wouldn't have made me any more likely to watch it, it just would have pleased me.)

Ahhh. I haven't seen this one, and just assumed they were made from scratch, because of how easy biscuits are.

It could be she's cooking from a recipe for a larger family, and hasn't bothered to cut it down. I still make meatloaf using my mother's recipe which was for a family of six, even though I'm now only cooking for 2, just because it's easy. And of course, leftover meatloaf sandwiches are delicious the next day.

All this talk about Jessa's skin issues made me think of this from Stephen King's Carrie: “Your pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you. Now eat your pie. ”

I've wondered that myself. A friend of my mother's came from a very repressed family, and she said the reason she made sure her daughters got proper sex ed, was that her 'talk' was on the day of her wedding (at age 17) and was basically: "are you a virgin?" "yes" "good." She had no idea of what was actually supposed to happen until it was explained to her by her husband. Although with that many siblings, and J&M, pawing at each other all the time, Jill may have at least had some idea of what went where, prior to the marriage.

Yes! If you're stocking an emergency bunker, I can see using boxed potatoes, but otherwise, potatoes are cheap, and take almost no time to turn into delicious mashed potatoes.

I'm a non-believer, but if someone told me I wasn't going to heaven because I was gay, I'd be fine with that. Because why would I want to spend an eternal afterlife with a being who hates me for something about myself that I have no control over. That wouldn't be heaven for me.

I've never understood why the fundies are against dancing (or even equate it with sex). Admittedly I've only read the bible once, and that was when I was nine and stuck in a hotel with no other reading material, but I'm sure I remember there being a passage where someone was savaged by dogs, but her feet were spared by God because she'd danced with joy. So you'd think dancing would be considered a good thing.

On the Holly/Gail thing, I think it would be nice to see (or hear about - because Aliyah hasn't been around for filming) them having a long-distance relationship, that includes plenty of honest, open communication, with lots of personal growth for Gail, until Holly eventually moves back from SF.

I remember being annoyed that Buffy was being bitchy about Willow taking so long to get over Oz, when she had moped for episodes about one-night-stand Parker.

I feel this show is not doing its job if they don't manage to have an update in 10 - 15 years, seeing how these insane tactics fail. All these poor kids.

When River Song showed up and started calling The Doctor 'Sweetie', the fans at my house collectively decided that it wasn't a term of endearment, it was his first name, and he was just always too embarrassed to tell anyone.
