Exactly! It can take many years of soul searching and self forgiveness to come to terms with sexual abuse. Their "No Big Deal" stance can feel like dismissal to an an adult who has had time to work thru it. I can't imagine the confusion it would cause in an impressionable child. I emailed my disapproval to Discovery and my intent to boycott TLC and any company that advertises on the "specials". The captcha word to submit was "wrong". I take it as a sign.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! They are letting the terrorists win! Ugh ugh ugh. It says at least 2-3 "specials" from what I read. Jill's "ministry" and "move", birth of Jessa's spawn and potentially Jinger's courtship to gauge interest in another wedding special. Time to find a sponsor list and email our fingers off. I'm furious and nauseous.

Famewhore Kitchen Nightmares? That was boring. And painful. And seriously, how many shows have some of them been on? Ugh.

Of course the Duggars are unaware of what pirates represent historically or that they exist today, killing and looting. That would require intellectual curiosity and that is nonexistent in Duggardum(b). What really frosts my cookies (or, umm...donuts), it the concept of just because you CAN do something does not mean you SHOULD. They walked out of there with 14 dozen donuts. I realize it follows the letter of the promotion, but it's crass and obnoxious. Those kids don't need to be eating that many donuts and idk how good their dental care is!! Like someone said, take them to a shelter or drop some by a fire station. Give back. Isn't charity a Christian value? But no, be greedy and get the free stuff. Well done instilling THAT in your kids, Boob. Aaaarrrrrggghhh!!!

Wait...so gay marriage was legalized AFTER he cheated? But that's gonna cause the downfall of traditional marriage! So Jill and Jessa are gonna be smiling from the cover of People in checkout stands nationwide while people say "Yo, them girls brother is one horny little bitch, ain't he?" Who is with me in betting Jessa went after his pecker with scissors while chasing him thru the TTH?

Blindfolded. Merci!

Just saw on the Daily Mail (dodgy source, I know) that the Duggars are loading up the stink bus and a motor home caravan for the 20 hour trip to TN to "hijack" the filming of the wedding to get back on teevee. Even the gelatinous monster and his family. Unfortunately, I can see this as true.

There's a difference in missionary work. "Real" mission work, like what your family did, pinguina, is living by example and doing what you can to improve lives. Saving Souls for Jesus like Jill and Derrick is the Christian equivalent of cashing in tokens to get some sort of credit in Heaven. Yes, the Bible mentions "witnessing", but actions always speak louder than words. Or skits.

THIS! This sentence says it all. They are not allowed to watch television or read books because one of the cash-cows....um "blessings" might catch a clue that Boob is so full of shit it is coming out his ears! Cults need suppression like normal people need air. Same goes for what Jessa and Dim know about the Bible. They've been spoon fed the passages that support the narrow cult view. I feel safe in saying they've probably never read it all. The lack of intellectual curiosity in that family is staggering.

All I got from that first YouTube video is that Jesus is a tall, black man in John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever suit who tosses leaves in the air while you dance with him. Sin is bad. And wearing skinny jeans makes you sin. I'm pretty sure I was just defrauded. People really do that ish in the name of Jesus. Wow. And yes, I am totally going to Hades.

Lobsters. She roasted two alive. Of course, I find boiling alive heinous as well. Tip of a knife in the back of the head is supposedly the most humane way to dispatch the poor lil things. And I love lobster, I just can't eat it often due to the treatment. (And I'm so upset over Cecil, I feel a physical pain in my chest when I think about it and begin to cry :.( ITA on Conant and his inconsistency. The dead fish didn't give a rat's ass what was used on him/her. And for all his spewing about disrespect, he said it was well cooked! He's an asshole. And I will poke him with tongs with you. I think Harry got hosed. At least he tried to be creative. This whole tournament is so far out the last one's league it's not even funny. Easier baskets, worse results and not a cheftestant fit to dust off Kent Rollins boots.

Run the Table - I co sign every word of your post! Brilliant, really. I've watched this show off and on since the premiere...when it's been awesome, okay and just plain old stinky awful. Aly's death is the worst offense yet. If she had been sacrificed to create a viable storyline, that would be one thing. Far as I see, it's a sorryass attempt to: a) give Steffy depth and vulnerability (no, no and Hell no) b)serve as justification for Liam/Steffy 2.0 c) ruin Ivy and d) further eliminate Thorne from the canvas. I remember Liam/Steffy 1.0. Steffy imprinted on Liam like a baby duck when he save her from the living room tub. Made no sense except it did give the writers Ridge/Brooke/Taylor the Next Generation. This time with the Logan being the virginal ideal instead of the Slut from the Valley. Liam is very much the girl who can't be without a man for two seconds. Must be in a relationship and have a backup on call who will step in on a moments notice. Steffy was always the back up. She wanted Liam because Hope had him mainly. Liam liked that she put out and had no issue with used, still warm engagement rings. But Liam always wanted Hope, even when he was with Steffy. He cared for Steffy, but I never got the feeling she was the one he couldn't live without. I believed he went back to pregnant Steffy because it was the right thing to do. But he still wanted Hope. Then Steffy blessedly leaves and we start eating mor Chik'n and Hope beams away. And here is Ivy. Gorgeous, smart, talented and Liam realizes he can love this one. Steffy Cha Cha Cha's back into town demanding him in her bed and Liam says no! The writers made us love him and believe his love for Ivy. It was good. Then JMW needs a job and is back for good. Liam starts giving waffles everywhere a bad name and becomes despicable following Steffy around like lovesick pup. As a viewer, I understand retcons are occasionally needed. But this one? No. And now we have sacrificed a legacy character to show the fragility of life as a reason 2.0 must happen. Aly going back to Paris for therapy was the way to go. Keep the character for down the road. Steffy picked up the tire iron in self defense. But no, let's have her lie and be all conflicted over "killing" Aly. She can cry and shit and she needs Liam. And best of all we can destroy Ivy, too!!! Ugh. Wrong on so many levels. I may walk away this time. Hate watching isn't enough this time. :(

Eddie was in a tough spot, but popcorn balls and candied/caramel apples would have worked. And easy to concoct a "we always made these for Halloween" story. If you had to do an entree, so many of you have mentioned great squash and Fall ideas. I personally thought of "Ghoul"ash or "Blood" Orange Chicken in about two minutes. Arnold could make something out of "A Touch of Myint". Theme ideas for dinner parties and holidays that are quirky. Suzy Wong gives a cocktail recipe every show. And thank you Tuschie and Susie. Dom is undoubtedly a great cook and can talk food. But a representative of FN has to be deft at live appearances, too. Could you see him do a cooking demo on "The Talk"? Sheryl cracks a joke and he freezes, runs or calls her a name. I don't think you can teach spontaneity.

When I first heard the InTouch story about the "devastation" the family was suffering at cancellation, the quote that jumped at me was that the "older kids" especially enjoyed the recognition from the show. And Jessa was the first one I thought of. She won't wear obscurity well. And I saw several posts on her last "bump" pic that it's a boy. But I agree she's playing coy while fervently praying to baby Jeebus for her VSE.

Any lawsuit that could be filed has nothing to do with the law or how to better the law. It has to do with Boob being massively butthurt that people did not bow at the altar of his self perceived amazingness and dared to challenge him. He built a TV empire off the simple fact that he was able to impregnate his dim witted wife an unGodly number of times. He believes he is above the laws of man and God. People have looked behind the curtain and don't like him and are no longer willing to believe in his scam of being worthy of praise and idolatry. And now he is faced with the unthinkable; he might have get a real job to support the result of his being a horny little bastard. Sucks to be you, Boob.

Uh huh. "Evil libreral media"....unless, of course, the crying victims of childhood sexual abuse claiming they're being revictimized are padding your ratings. Right, Megyn? Sanctimonious hypocritical cow.

InTouch made sure they had an Arkansas law firm review the FOIA request and the released report was redacted in accordance to state law. No one was bribed. No one was paid off. InTouch worked long and hard to get that police report legally. If Boob thinks he can try to claim that this hurt his livelihood, he and his simpering wife shouldn't have gone on a national news show admitting to essentially skirting the law. And they damn sure shouldn't have pimped out two victims to claim "It was nothing! We're over it! We love and forgive our molester!!" Someone should tattoo "Better to have people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it" on Meechelle so he will see it, learn it and stfu already!

Exist. Now they can send Thorne away and really forget about him.

Well....there is Steffy's secret. But did she kill her by hitting her with the tire iron or did she die when she fell and hit her head on the rock? Either way, not the ending I was expecting. RIP poor lil Aly :(

I hope People (and TLC) have people that review comment sections and are realizing that the Duggars are no longer a way to make money and start distancing themselves. It is kind of disconcerting to be celebrating the birth of a daughter to somebody who molested a 5 year old and the woman who claims have no issue with that fact. And it is my understanding that if you post an image to a social media account that can be accessed by the public, media can reprint that image and relay other details from the post without paying you for it. Your terms anKd conditions give Facebook, Twitter and Instagram the right to "sell" your image. The "payment" is publicity. I could be wrong, but that's how I have understood it.

It's more popular than you might think. Grey's Anatomy brought it back somewhat. It's not Bella/Elsa popular, but I've seen more than a few people choose it. I always feel for kids born into crappy circumstances. They don't ask to be here and someday she'll learn what was going on right before her birth. No child should learn that about a parent, poor lil nugget.

"I am Jazz" is on TLC. I watched it and loved her and her family. If people were even a 10th as supporting and open minded as the Jennings family the world would be a much better place. I waded into the Hell of the Duggar official FB page and the hatred spewed by the humpers towards Jazz was disgusting. They are horrified that a good, God fearing family was replaced by these sinners. Child molesting and evading legal prosecution for the crime is fine bexause Jesus forgives. But no forgiveness for this deviant child!!! I was nauseous after just a few comments.

It was inevitable. There is an online petition to bring them back. The website is SupportTheDuggars.com. Without them, there is nothing to watch with your children! (Clutch pearls as needed.) Also read that Mama June is still madder than a wet hen. Cancellation is not sufficient to her. They must be shunned by the TLC, dammit!!

I'm guessing Ben feels like Katie Holmes about now. She thought she was living a fantasy and marrying a major movie star and would get an A-List career rolling. Instead, she got a couch jumping, full on Scientology lunatic who tanked his career by calling newscasters "glib" and claimed post-partum depression was cured with vitamins and exercise. Ben...no Joel Osteen dreams for you! You're an uneducated man-child and religious bully. No more brother-in-law with high powered conservative connections. No more teevee exposure. And your hot, fundy royalty bride has been exposed as a mean girl who alienated childhood sexual abuse survivors cause she thinks it's no big deal. Good luck supporting her champagne expectations with your cheap beer potential.

The TLC press release says "the show will no longer appear on the air". If the list of advertisers who said they would not run spots during the show were serious, wouldn't be much money in it. Plus, in retrospect so many things seem even ickier (if that's even possible!)
