When I saw Jill's latest "recipe", I honestly thought she was taking the piss out of all of us.
There were years when I worked a full time job and ran a business on the side and I barely had time to do the bare minimum at home. During that time I never resorted to these canned soup disaster meals.
My husband isn't picky but I felt it was important to eat healthy. My solution was doing a weekly meal prep then defrosting the servings each day. I didn't even have the luxury of a microwave oven!
Jill is home all day --why can't she prepare something simple daily? It takes little time to cook chicken, veggie and perhaps a tossed salad.

Sorry if this has been covered, but am I the only person who is sick and tired of Nev's famewhore wife?
She's annoying enough for me to stop watching this.

She had to put the star on her nipple--Instagram automatically deletes any naked photos, including nursing moms (there was controversy about this a while back).

She's 43, for goodness sake. The chances of her having a surprise pregnancy are fairly low.
I'm guessing she was looking better in July because she was taking fertility drugs (weight gain).
Coming from someone who tried to get pregnant from the age of 38 through 44, I find this "surprise" business to be a bit dubious.

I'm all about feeling good about your body, especially when pregnant so please don't look at me as if I'm "body shaming" but she's wearing a damn TRACK SUIT to an awards show. Regardless of the fact that she's making some kind of weird, pregnancy fashion statement that's so inappropriate for the venue, not to mention, ugly as anything I've seen in a very long time.
Look at her pants. I get it, it's difficult to wear fitted slacks when pregnant, but if you're going to decide to wear a track suit to an affair, why not buy proper maternity bottoms instead of just pushing them down, under your belly so they bunch up in your crotch? It just looks sloppy, unkempt and unclassy.
I expected Nev to end up with a classy woman like Max's wife. Guess I was wrong...sucks to be Nev, I guess.

Up front, I want to say that I'm a fat woman. I'm 5'4" and I'm *almost* as large as Whitney. I'm not sure how tall she is, but the two of us are built alike. At first, I was really happy to see that there was a large, functioning, seemingly confident, fat woman on television, advocating for no fat shaming. I felt for her--I also have PCOS and it's DIFFICULT to lose weight! It's not IMPOSSIBLE, but it's far more difficult (ie: 1000 calories and a 10k walk once a day MAY result in a 2lb a week loss, OR a 5lb gain with no explanation). I THOUGHT Whitney would be the intelligent, confident and balanced voice for fat women everywhere.
MAN, was I WRONG.
I forgot to watch Season 2, but with a bit more time on my hands this summer, I decided to watch Season 3. My observations follow:
1. People who are confident and happy within their own skin don't get defensive over fat jokes. The comedian that was on the radio station was FUNNY. I actually laughed out loud at her jokes. Whitney's defensive attack on the comedian was enough for me to decide that Whitney isn't happy being fat....at ALL. I thought that going to the show was going to be her saving grace, instead, she decides to get into a heated battle with the woman. I could tell (and remember, I'm FAT!) that the comedian wasn't irrational--she made some interesting points. In fact, I'm not even sure WHY Whitney was so upset over what she said....
2. Whitney really hides behind her dancing to be the "HEY--I'm doing everything I can to lose weight" but weight loss is also about eating right. A normal, healthy person without PCOS can't eat junk food and garbage and lose weight by exercise alone--why does Whitney think she can? She's educated and knows how to use the internet--why hasn't she Googled her own illness? The LAST thing should should be eating is sweets and junk food!
3. She discusses one day having children. Surprise, Whitney--conception with PCOS is VERY, VERY difficult. Take it from me---I went through IVF, IUI and 8 years of just trying the "old fashioned way" and my only pregnancy ended up ectopic. (By the way, ectopic pregnancies are another side effect of PCOS).
4. Lennie was a perfect example of a guy who "just isn't that into you" but Whitney's lack of self-esteem really kept her in a relationship that was totally wrong for her. Her comment that it took "3 years to find him" was sad. Why SETTLE for someone who's wrong for you JUST because you're fat? I applaud her for breaking up with him, but I'm not 100% convinced that she did it because she was confident in the decision--I think she realized that she was fat-shaming herself if she remained with him. Her "friendship" with Buddy was the emotional crutch she needed to be somewhat happy with Lennie (IMHO)....
5. ...and my final point--the only person who can fat-shame you, is you. Whitney (or anyone else) will never stop others from making fat jokes. Not taking the jokes personally is really the key to this issue. She really needs to recognize that "fat jokes" are not directed toward her. Being defensive and implying that she has proven herself by losing (then gaining) 100lbs is counterproductive to the message that (I assume) she wants to deliver.
I'm fat. I don't deny it. I don't defend it. I'm healthy right now, but I know that I won't remain healthy if I don't work on my weight. To be honest, I've NEVER had anyone randomly call me out on my weight in public, as television would have you believe. I think the "fat person being laughed at in public" trope is tedious. In fact, on a trip to Southern Italy last year, I walked up a 1km incline to the top of Mount Vesuvius, in nearly 100F weather, coupled with humidity from the volcano. I was sweating, out of breath, my body ached and I had a UTI, for which I was taking antibiotics....yet, on my way up, people gave me random phrases of encouragement "you can do it"...."you're almost there"...and those who thought I didn't speak the language gave me the universal "thumbs up".
When you try hard, it's noticeable. People, for the most part, want to encourage others. Don't believe the hype.

If the Italians come to the wedding they will be in for a hell of a culture shock! I'm seeing it now. Nonna saying, "Mi, no food how cheapa." *Mi means WOW and not in a good way
HA!!! I LOVE this.....it's funny because it's true :)
On another note--I'm laughing at how gingerly (see how I did that?) Jinger is keeping her hand away from FutbolJeremy's crotch!

....wellllllll....allllllllrighty then! LOL...(and yeah, he's had some licks of the Jesus stick, just sayin')
I'm little late with my comments, but I'm of Italian/Canadian heritage. If Jeremy dares to invite his Catholic (ie: still celebrating Italian culture) family members to a craptastic Duggar wedding, I'll be watching that episode with bells on. Nothing like a good old Italian family snarkfest on the lack of/shitty food!

I'm guessing Jeremy Vuolo is of Italian heritage. The name "Vuolo" is definitely Italian...
At 28, having been to University and been a part of the Finnish soccer team---my guess is that he's NOT a virgin, but you know---the men in these religions can proclaim themselves "born again virgins" at any time.

From the very beginning, I kept yelling at my TV, like a lunatic: "why didn't you block her number"?
You can block a number from your phone, you can block a person from Whatsapp, you can block people from Facebook---so, if his relationship with Liz was in jeopardy, why didn't he JUST BLOCK HER. I knew it was because he was still into her. She was his "vagina in a glass case" and when Liz left, he felt it was time to "break the glass"....
When Vince found out Alyssa was married and he acted all dejected, again, I asked "WHY DO YOU CARE?"........and my voice of reason said "because Liz has been gone 5 days and there is some SMASHING to be done!" He was even willing to meet Miranda because that photo wasn't SO bad and perhaps.....well, SMASHING!!!
When it comes to being a FAT CHICK...check out my profile pic. I'm a fat chick. Always have been. I met my awesome hubby of 11 years (that handsome drunk guy, also in my profile pic) online and I didn't lie to him. I've done pretty well without using the internet, too. I wish I could tell these girls--if you can't accept your weight---lose it. If you can't lose it, embrace it! Men like women with CONFIDENCE.

First of all....
WHAT in the WHODILLY fuck was that? Ben RAPPING? SERIOUSLY?
QuoteNow, if my wife and I want to dance privately or something, in our room… Between a husband and wife is fine.

I just watched this episode.
When I watch the Duggars, I try to understand why I find them so off-putting. I can tolerate religion--it's their choice. I don't see it as a sentence. I've concluded that if the kids really wanted out, they could get out.
Their total segregation of themselves is what bothers me.
At the bear lodge, they could have had a manicurist come in and do all their nails--instead, they did each other's nails. That's a fail in my books. If my sister in law has to wash my bloody feet in a foot bath, that's not exactly a night "out" for her. Geez! Also--what was with wearing clothes UNDER the robes? What was the point of the robes---to look more Spa-ish? They do these absolutely outlandish things and then say "we're just like the rest of y'all"....NO, you're not!
There was NOTHING "ritzy" about that restaurant. I find it so amazing that these girls have no knowledge of cooking outside of the crap they prepare at home. I'm a forty-something woman with a career and in between studying, working and having pre-marital sex, I found time to learn how to cook real food (like leeks!!!!) and I know what "scallopini" is. How is it that women in their 20's with nothing to do all day but housework, can't learn a thing or two about cooking food? If I had a huge, industrial sized kitchen like theirs at my disposal, I'd be opening a catering company!
I wonder if these women know how sex-centred their lives REALLY are? First comes courting, then babies (but let's face it, the babies are only there because they are the consequence of unprotected sex).....everything they talk about is....courting, engagement, marriage, children. They speak of procreation the same way my friends and I spoke about sex in our 20's. It's amazing....

This wasn't an episode of Catfish. In fact, I doubt I've ever seen a show go off the rails like this, in my life.
Nev and Max just PROVED how effective social media trolling can be. Courtney either knew Frankie when he was younger, dated him or knew someone who knew him and figured that it would be a pretty good racket to "sell" her psychic skills. Every bit of information that Courtney had could have been easily accessed through the internet. The burger thing may have been something she learned from talking to her other relatives. Kayla wasn't 100% convinced, which is why (I think) Courtney hadn't started hitting her up for "paid" readings and encounters.
Had Courtney revealed something SHOCKING on the show, I may have been entertained, but it was obvious to me that Courtney was researching her facts and giving them to Kayla over texts, phone calls and social media because it gave her time to "fact find". She didn't want to meet her face to face in CASE she asked a question she wasn't able to answer. I doubt "hang on while I Google this highly newsworthy case" would have gone over too well in person.

Plus, are they going to have a fake funeral ? Will it be open casket -- because if it isn't, definitely fake death.
When Red left the ambulance, he said to someone (don't remember who) "no funeral home--I want our people to take care of this". Obviously, because he's in on it, ie: she's not dead.
I think this was a way to keep Megan Boone home for a while with her new baby, plus add some "spice" into the Blacklist. I've been flirting with quitting this show for a while (and I'm a 30 year James Spader fan). I just can't take the improbable plot lines and very difficult to follow scripts....
Besides all that, Lizzie is brainless. Who marries a man who lied to her for months and is a known killer? She is supposedly an FBI agent, the cream of the crop, yet she doesn't realize that perhaps, this guy isn't great husband material? The concept of "change" isn't really "proven" among killers....
I, too, believe that Mr. Kaplan is Lizzie's mother, although for a while, I thought maybe he/she was transgendered (although referring to her as Mr Kaplan would have been very insensitive and not something the networks would have allowed).
The whole thing is TOO complicated for a TV show.....

I was so happy when Ja'la admitted to being the girl Jaylin had been speaking to because Jaylin wasn't having her lies and baloney. He straight up was angry because she'd avoided him and lied about having a boyfriend. He was angry at her, in spite of the fact that she turned out to be the person in the photos and not a fat chick/dude, like most of them. I was SO PROUD of him. I was all self-righteous on my husband--I kept telling him that Jaylin was smart because he saw through the "cute chick" facade..
When buddy woke up the next morning and decided that perhaps he'd been hasty in his decision, I KNEW it was ALL OVER. Once again, buddy's upstairs brain was overtaken by his downstairs brain.....SMH.
Of course some smashing happened (that erased everything) until the Snapchat incident. Let's hope that Jaylin doesn't get roped in by preacher's little playa again!

I really wish this episode had done what they did last week and invited Kentucky Jamie along for the trip. I feel like that would have been a pretty good shit-show.
Right?
At the end, when Nev and Max played up the whole "oh, look how happy they are" angle, I yelled "WHAT ABOUT JAMIE!?". Why wasn't anyone questioning that douche about his relationship with Jamie?
I just don't understand this---Le-UGH didn't even ASK Justin about Jamie! She didn't ask ANY of the important questions she SHOULD have asked. Girl was so eager to be his boner-buddy, she completely lost all sense of logic.
..and Justin...ugh. I know young guys play the field, but a more sleazy, greasy dude would be hard to find. The minute he said she was more beautiful in person, I knew the "SCORE!" button lit up in his head.
I wonder if they'll be featured in the "review" package?

From what I understand, none of the participants in Josh's program are allowed mobile phones or electronic devices, so how would anyone leak a story?
Even if a person left, I think their religious like-mindedness would keep them from talking...

I recall reading in one of the Duggers' books that their sexual choices are quite limited. I don't recall what was written (although I looked all over the place trying to find the quote) but at the time, I was completely shocked that they had such a vanilla approach. If I remember, oral sex is off the table, as well as most "positions".
I only recall because I wondered how the hell a fundie woman would ever orgasm given such limited "allowable" practices.

One minor correction to the recap -- Red and the Director were flying to the International court in the Hague in the Netherlands to drop the Director off to be charged with war crimes and the Director was in the custody of the Venezuelan Foreign Minister. And that's the reason the family was speaking Dutch when the Director "dropped in" -- he was ejected from the plane over the Netherlands.
The "Dutch" family and the language they spoke was my only pet peeve in this episode.
First of all---where the hell have these people been living? Under a rock? My husband is a Dutch immigrant. I've been to the Netherlands many, many times. There are no backwoods, Pippi Longstocking-looking people like that in the Netherlands....anywhere!
Secondly--Their Dutch was so bad, my husband said..."Wow...was that supposed to be Dutch"?
I may have given it a pass if it wasn't that one of the producers/directors appears to be of Dutch descent!

A button-down shirt on an infant seems fussy and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood-ish!
That outfit doesn't surprise me.
Jessa and Bin playing dress up with their baby is a sad testament to their maturity level. Jessa has no concept of utility because she's basically playing "dollies".

Poor kid...he looks like his dipstick father in these photos.
Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!
in Counting On
I can understand sweetening the beans a LITTLE in the original Alrecipes version because the beans are bundled with salty bacon. There's a sweet/salty mix in every bite!
Jill's adaptation is just "dumped" onto a sheet pan with 2 cups of brown sugar (!!!) That's insanity. Why bother using turkey bacon? There is no thought process regarding taste profiles, just "oh well, it's sweet BEANS, so it must be healthy"....
Jinger has a far better grasp of cooking than Jill.
... and that onesie is hideous.
