The Ascension

The arrogance of these people to think it would never come out. I definitely believe Jana is one of the victims. The way it reads on the police report, it makes it seem that it's all sisters? Also whatever you do, DON'T go on the 19 Kids & Counting FB page. I nearly had a heart attack reading the stuff. "Let those who are without sin cast the first stone", "why is the media feed on drama", etc type comments.

Geez, I wish Jenny could have kept the horse! She's still so little. The look on Jana's face and the despair in her voice was heartbreaking. Who called the director? I couldn't tell. I'm always fascinated to see when the production crew jumps in on these shows. The Duggars seem quite close with their crew. It made me happy to see Jessa there when Josie got home.

These Duggar receptions. There are no words to describe how terrible. Being horrendous, cheap hosts is most definitely not precious. Seriously, Jessa was such a beautiful bride. I am so surprised by how much I love her dress. Like, to the point where I would wear it as my own wedding dress. Ben (and I heard Benjermin too!) may struggle to communicate, but it does come across that he is kind, genuine, loves (and is good with) kids and clearly adores Jessa. Damn he is so young though. I honestly haven't been checking their IG feeds so I was surprised to hear so many think they are expecting. But..of course. It's past time. I really love that they did the first kiss in private. At JillDill's wedding, everyone's obsession of it really grossed me out. Damn DerrickDillard, I had high hopes for you. I really hate how these Duggar guys need to walk their wives back up the aisle. It's just so..."of course". Can't trust the woman to walk a few feet on the arm of another man! Jill looked like an absolute mess. I really, really dislike her. It's so interesting how in the getting ready scenes, she was nowhere to be found, when the others were fawning over Jessa. Probably walking around looking for someone to remind them that she was already married, was pregnant or trying to find DerrickDillard. Jinger made me cry. I think it came across quite clear in this episode that Jessa, while she can come across as icy to the viewing public, really connects with her siblings. The emotion, the sentiments expressed, and the "rock on" (I am out of touch) sign one of the girls gave to Jessa before she walked down the aisle when Jessa was sitting in the chair.

I adore this show. I wish it was on all the time. This spring line-up of Bravo has been sent from the heavens to help all us (snark loving) turds*- Shahs, RHONY, Southern Charm, Newlyweds. If only Pump Rules could be on at the same time. I'm going to start keeping my my Meri Wet Bar (wrong channel i know) stocked all the time just so I can fully enjoy all this mess. What else to say...Whitney and Patricia picking on a 22 year old who is also a new mom is so, so pathetic. *= not that we're turds.

Rosa, Eva, Ariane and Nattie need to go. There's too many people on this show. Brother Bella had a major overreaction. Can he stop being on the show so much? The season began and ended with Bella drama. I love Brie & Bryan. Bryan: "Do you want me to send you naked pictures?" Brie: "I'd just laugh at them." I also love when you see producers get involved and try and figure out what to do, like the Paige/Bradley fight. Paige was WAY over the top when she met the mom and sister. Jumping into their arms and joking that she's pregnant? Too much, too soon. That reminded me how young she really is. But damn dude, how do you not tell her you were married? That was horrible.

Oh, here's a tip: If you want to be blocked by Robyn on Twitter, ask about the Hawaii trip!

The biggest wall for the adoption is Kody and Robyn not being legally married? Err, how about David Jessop signing away his parental rights? Damn it, someone FIND THAT GUY. I want to hear from him so badly. And Robyn commenting on the "Robyn and Kody made Meri do this" with a breezy laugh "That's the funniest thing I have ever heard!" Such a manipulative witch. Jenelle & Christine looked beautiful in the interview. Kody reassuring Jenelle he and Robyn won't ride off into the sunset, well they sure did run off to Hawaii. That Hawaii trip is such bullshit. When do Jenelle & Christine get to go on luxurious trips with Kody? Effing Robyn's gone on two in five years. I really loathe her. I felt so sad yet angry for Meri when she was weeping while signing the papers. WHY MERI WHY! Damn it. Kody "I'm not angry with the government for doing it this way, I'm angry that I have to deal with it." This guy. This fool. This clown.

I miss them too. It's probably because they were too normal and well-adjusted. Naomi tweeted she was no longer a part of the show, and it wasn't by choice. But Nikki gave an interview and made it seem like Naomi just didn't want to do it anymore. I winced for Alicia when he said that, too! I agree they were a good-looking couple and he is a cutie. I am honestly dreading next week with Eva's family vacation, with her infuriating brothers, and they turn it into a bucket list vacation for her poor dad. SHEESH. And yep, always ignoring Rosa. Annoys me that she's taking up a spot on this show that Summer or Naomi could have.

I used to like Nikki but she is the worst this season. Wtf. Does her heel turn have anything to do with her being extra bitchy this season or am I just forgetting that she sucked the previous seasons too? Brie is 30 years old, cut it with the "You need to go to bed, Brie!" Nikki should probably just accept that the show's viewers will obviously want to see Brie activate #BrieMode at least once a season. Also, if I were ever hungover (which never happens!! wink wink), the last thing I would want to hear is Nikki's voice. Brie throwing up on her boobs was funny. Dying at Paige & Brie being the only ones in the bar. Haha that was so awkward but funny. And Paige doing the autotuned "Brie Mode" from her entrance music. I'd hang out with Paige & Brie anytime. Hey Nikki, to quote [the annoying] Ariane, "girl bye." Nattie's family stuff was really hard to watch. It felt too sad and intimate for me to watch, considering he's not a cast member. Hope all is okay. That's awesome WWE is helping him out.

I feel badly for Bruce. Gah, driving really is so scary. You get in your car so often, it can become mundane and thoughtless, but really every time you drive you have to be SO careful and alert, and hope everyone else on the road with you is also alert and knows what they’re doing. I can imagine Bruce having a really hard time with this. He is a good person. Kim would probably be like “oh these accident scene pictures are another chance for my outfit to be seen”. I wonder if this will affect his transition? I admit I don’t know much, but from the little I have read since Bruce’s news, there’s a psych eval and this accident could really mess with him mentally (as it would anyone!) and I wonder if it would possibly derail some aspects of the transition.

Nikki sucks. Nattie is annoying. Ariane is annoying. I liked Alicia but she was annoying. Rosa is a waste of a spot that I'd rather Summer or Trinity have.

I'm here for Bruce. I wonder what name he will go by? I wish him nothing but happiness and peace and I hope the family deals with it okay. Kendall & Kylie are still so young. Seriously, no wonder the Kardashians won't go away...they certainly are not boring ever. A lot of teens watch E so if any of them are struggling or identifying with Bruce, hopefully this will help. What is going to really suck is the commentary in articles, interviews, social media, and the hate groups that are going to speak out against Bruce, and then the K/J clan will defend Bruce and I will have to side with them (the k's). GAH!

Bryan is hilarious. "Come on Josie, let's go build a bomb shelter", "Beware of dog? Beware of Josie?" THIS. Wtf? I died when Rosa's evidence was "Well like you always answer my text messages right away" Is Rosa 12? and Paige retorted "I don't know if you've never had a friendship before..."

Cena had a personality! Whaat?! Haha, it was enjoyable to see him let loose on-camera. Eva's Jon is great. He just makes sense and is logical. He clearly adores her for some reason. I wanted to slap Eva. What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she such a freaking child? Nikki & Brie made a lot of sense when they were chatting with her. I love that Paige had Summer's back and was adamant about saying "That's my friend, don't talk about her". You don't see that too often on these kind of shows, ha. I liked Summer. She didn't really have a chance on this show- they slotted her into the bitch role and then barely gave her any airtime (that I can recall beyond the Nattie feud/Rosa triangle).

Someone, either at TWOP or a wrestling forum I lurk, said Rosa looks like Michael Jackson and now it's all I see. She's so annoying, dull and brings nothing to the show. I wish Naomi could have stayed in her place. Also, totally bet it was Nattie who told Carrano about her plan. Happy to see less of Nattie, sad to see less of Paige. I like Alycia so far. She's stunning. Nikki is a bitch and loves to act like a victim. She was so unprofessional with the merch people. "How dare you ask me what segment we are?!" Grow the hell up. John Cena always looks uncomfortable with people.

Love the addition of Paige. She's spunky. I agree with her, Nattie needs to loosen up! That line "I didn't know you were going to try and kill you and Ariane!" was so good. But I can't believe Paige offered to pay for the car! That's way too nice. In the car crash scene, how many times could Ariane say "Nattie-UH!" She is so annoying. Go away. The Cena/Nikki drama is just tired at this point. I hate their relationship (it's so unbalanced) but Nikki seems hellbent on insisting she's happy and is fine without marriage/kids. Love Bryan in his Brie Mode shirt! JJ and Mama Bella get more airtime than half the cast.

I cannot stand JillDill's selfie face. Jessa and Bin's silence makes me hopeful, but then also makes me think pregnancy nausea.

Josh and Anna's kids are so cute. Sometimes Anna makes me cringe, but for the most part, she is one of my favorites. I went back and watched TFDW and Priscilla wedding. Priscilla and her expressions were hard to watch (I'm mean, I know) but she did seem very happy. What the hell is with the mothers of the bride and groom wearing the same outfit? And the WTF'ery of TFDW leading the crowd in singing. It was just as good as I dreamed it would be. When I searched for the wedding another blog came up that revealed "David Waller & Priscilla Keller began courting in September, were engaged in November, and married February 4th!"

I loved this episode. I have a soft spot for Jessa; mainly since my family calls me the ice queen, haha Jessa I getchu girl. The scavenger hunt was cute, but damn it did go on too long. In the moment Jessa was over it and wanted the grand finale, but it's a terrific memory and story to have. Also I know many people (in their high 20's and their 30's!) who get engaged at scavenger hunts. Many bonus points to Ben for proposing in that (GORGEOUS!!!) chapel that Jessa so loved. She was so touched and it made me smile to hear her exclaim "This guy knows me!" Also no way he paid for a lot of the scheme. I wanted to look in the credits for "promotional consideration..." and see what was listed, but DVR cut it off. I hope the new Mr and Mrs Bin Seewald enjoy their newlywed time together. I wasn't at all surprised at how long it took JillDill to get pregnant, but I have hope for Jessa that she won't leap into it so quickly. No JillDill....hoorah, hoorah! She's been so annoying and tiresome. Oh Jana and Jinger...I am so rooting for you ladies to find happiness.

I love this show more with every passing episode. A lot of it is fake, but it makes me laugh so I can just go with it. It's the mindless entertainment I am looking for in my TV. My God, I hate Savannah's voice. Chase's birthday episode is the best. The hotel, the bellhop hat, the bill, "Castle Todd", Faye's antics and Chase's reactions, how much Todd and Julie enjoyed hearing of Faye's antics, I laughed out loud a lot.

Damn now I really need to go back and see the Roloff wedding. I love Jessa's dress. I'm surprised that the Duggars would allow it to not be white? I would have thought with their obsession of pure brides that the bride wearing white was a BIG DEAL. I love that they did their first kiss in private. Seriously all the excited talk in Jill's wedding episode about the first kiss, sex, etc was so gross and uncomfortable, so good on Jessa and Ben. I wish they didn't do the "now you see a Duggar kiss", Michelle and JB do not need more spotlight, dear God. The "more modest than you are, heathens!!!" thing is also disgusting and I hope it's not a thing. I've always liked Jessa (maybe because people always think I'm cold and isolated, hehe) and have higher hopes for her wedding style then I do for Jill. I'm getting married next year, and am seriously considering doing sand over unity candle. I don't actually like sand, but I like the idea of unity candle/sand/becoming one etc. I tend to shake when i get nervous (i'm having visions of dropping the ring) so I do not want to be holding fire, haha. ;)

I am so glad the Season of Jill is over. -It makes me so sad that they went right into parenthood after marriage. At least Josh and Anna had four months. They don't know each other at all! But whatever, they have a very, very, very, very serious covenant so they're stuck with each other. :) -Ew the barefeet. Wear flats! Flip flops! Anything is better than dirty bare feet at a (semi) formal occasion. -pretty sure one of her notes to Derrick said "your girl 4ever". -I still can't get over how many people were invited. I'm breaking out into hives figuring out my own guest list. And it's like 130 people. Haha. But I want to feed my guests and treat them like they matter, so. But hey, do all those volunteers want to take their servants hearts and come help me? -Loved that they hung out together before the wedding. -Cathy is a classy, classy lady. Love her. -The running was so weird. So weird. -I really liked Anna all season, but damn Josh. I will never, ever warm to him. Ever. -They could try to pass off the tears as "happy tears", but nope. Not buying it. -I love Jana so much. I hope she finds someone deserving of her. -Dad/daughter moments before walking down the aisle are my favorite. Jim Boob is always a cringeworthy weirdo but they were sweet before the aisle walk. -Why did he have to be up there to announce 'you may now kiss your bride?' The creepiness will never end. -Jill's dress was pretty and she looked so happy, but the make-up and hair= awful. Amy looked better than all of them (except for Cathy). -Yeah, they really should have at least talked through the kiss beforehand. Agh, so awkward.

There should be a general "cast" thread since there are constantly new people joining the show. I'm very excited Paige and Alicia are joining but there's way too many of them on the show now. Naomi/Trinity is one of my favorites and she was hardly on. Nattie's marriage problems are definitely fake. She's boring, immature, whiny and overall...so damn annoying. Nattie, Ariane and Rosa need to go. I LOL'd when Summer said to Nattie "Wow you must be really pissed at TJ if you want to sit next to me"

Al Manzo saying their parenting was almost perfect was nauseating. Why don't they ever bring up Christopher not dating anyone? It's so sad (but probably a win for him) that they have totally given up on him and pin all their hopes and dreams on Prince Albie. I love his "Previously on..." and when Al grabbed Caroline's boobs (yuck) he yelled "THIS IS A HOME!!"

Wow, Kyle is an angry guy. That comment about Todd not loving Chloe and only taking her because she's mixed race and would be good for ratings is disgusting. Todd adores that baby and under his and Julie's care, Chloe is very loved and cared for. You can see the kids love her too. I wouldn't give the baby back to Kyle and Lexi (?) yet, they have a lot to prove to the court, IMO. I'm no Todd fan, but Kyle has zero credibility with me. He's clearly still sick and i hope he gets the help he needs.
