Did the gastric bypass guy admit that while he was married to his wife he was in love with Dr. Dubrow's assistant? He said something about him knowing that she was out of his league and that he had been in love with her for 15 years. At least he admitted he was a jerk for being selfish and driving his first wife away. Although, if I heard and understood what he was saying maybe his wife felt like he wasn't emotionally there since he was in love with someone from afar.

I cannot believe that Melissa is so blatant concerning her favoritism for Maddie. It's disgusting. I loved Nia sassing Abby at the beginning. It's about time she stood up for herself. Maybe she's realizing that she's super talented, and she doesn't need Abby. Abby was so cruel to JoJo during rehearsal. Who does that? It's like Abby is jealous of a little girl. She's nothing more than a bully. And nothings worse than an adult bullying a child. Maddie's video with Shia was ridiculous. I'm happy that she's getting exposure, but it was such a waste of time and inappropriate. Leave it to Abby and Melissa to think that it's artistic and meaningful. I feel sorry for Mac. Maddie is like the Ricky Bobby of the team. If you ain't first, you're last! Being part of a team is being a team player and being happy for someone when they win. We all need to suck Maddie's butt when she wins, but if she loses...watch out. That beautiful, mature, artistic dancer is going to throw a temper tantrum like a two year old child.

As I stated before, I'm a little late to the game in joining the discussion, so this may have been stated before. I must be a horrible parent. I am so tired of seeing responses from others stating that they couldn't have reported their child, or turned him/her in to the authorities. I would have done it in a heartbeat. My first responsibility at that point is to provide immediate care to my children who have been victimized. I don't care how old my child is who committed the crime. Of course it would be one of the hardest things I would have to do, but I couldn't in good consciousness allow my son to live in my home where he molested my other children. In addition, what if the situation came to light later and I had my remaining children removed from my home because I failed to notify the authorities about the crime? I never thought about their "church" being a cult, but now I do. What kind of church condones and hides crimes like this? Isn't the church supposed to be there to protect the innocent? What does this say to the members who have been victimized? And as far as the trooper is concerned? Aside from the child pornography charges, he committed another crime and that was by not reporting Josh Duggar. He didn't have the option to decide whether or not this was something to be reported. Any and all crimes must be reported by an officer no matter what. If he had done his job maybe the victims would have had some type of proper counseling or therapy. Jim Bob, Michelle, and the trooper all failed every single one of those children.

JenCarroll - Thank you. I totally missed it. Interview 12 says that she was never touched.

This may have already been addressed, but I'm not seeing it since there are so many replies to this topic. When I read the police report, I could swear I saw six victims. The interviews I read with victims were number 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and number 17 (who was the person asleep on the couch). That would total six people. Am I losing my mind here? All I see and read are about five victims. Can someone take a look at that and tell me if I'm going crazy?

I read the boards often, but I never comment. So here goes. 1. If she is a fly by night wedding planner, I'm sure she's not getting paid. Her "payment" is her television exposure. Imagine how many Duggar followers will want her to "plan" their weddings. 2. Maybe Josie's hair was wet from a bath? (doubtful, but hopeful") 3. At the marriage counseling session, my husband and I were waiting for Boob to tell Bin, "Here. Let me show you how to kiss Jessa on your wedding day." 4. Sometimes my husband and I binge watch this show on the weekends. We watched so many episodes one day, and we saw the opening credits so many times. Hubby was tired of hearing everyone's names and he said that he was surprised that Josie wasn't named Juggs because they ran out of J names. So now, whenever we watch it together we both scream out "Juggs" when they introduce Josie and she's blowing a kiss. Bless her heart. Whoever mentioned the word feral had it right. I can't wait for the next episode where Jessa is shown being a turd. It's as though she's proud of it. Edited for punctuation.

I literally just started watching this show in the middle of the Peek-A-Boo episode. Why is Trent using his toothbrush to brush his teeth, and then use it to groom his eyebrows. Disgusting!

Hi all! It's my first post here and I'm a serious lurker. I just wanted to introduce myself before I started posting. :) I haven't read all of the entries here because I just got too excited and had to post. If I had to choose between MFW and SW, I would definitely choose this show. However, I really enjoyed SW when they first started so I'm waiting to start getting annoyed with this group. I just don't understand why these women choose this lifestyle/religion if they are going to get jealous. You married a man with multiple wives! They are going to have sex! He's going to take his other wives out on dates, buy them rings, show affection, etc. I don't know why they subject themselves to this jealousy if they don't have the personality to match the situation. That being said, I agree with other posters that the wives seem to get along with each other better than the SW do. But then again I also said earlier that it may be too soon to tell what's really true.
