OMG Those twins have to go. Now. Can't got quick enough, Andy. The one in the white dress with the boulder boobs looks ridiculous. They're loud, squawky, boring, loud, squawky, broken records, loud, squawky, have nothing to say but just loud, squawky. Did I mention they were loud and squawky? Get over the V Gotti comments about your mother. They were both fine with it, until production encouraged them to perpetuate the fight, and they realized that's their only story line, and they thrive on the pointless drama. Squwak. Rino, I can handle. Bobby is charming but a little slimey, but I can handle. Amber, I can handle because she makes Melissa a little bit nervous as to what she or Jim are going to reveal about their past. Jim's not worth commenting on except that he needs to calm down and grow up.I hate the whole 'cross the line and I'll destroy you bit,' when the line is a hairline trigger with no rhyme or reason as to when it is crossed.

Derrick's mother was undergoing cancer treatment, and they thought she might die. Plus, he may not have had the best nutrition for 2 years in Nepal. I can cut him some slack on the eye circles.

Michelle looks better here than I think we've ever seen her - clothing wise.

Well technically he was a prostitute who was also having an affair with a married man, so I don't think he could be considered a positive gay character.

I don't think he was looking specifically for a bride either. Father figure, spiritual mentor, possibly mission sponsor, all that yes. Meeting and falling for a daughter was icing on the cake. As for why he and Jill clicked and not he and Jana, I think Jim Bob heard the words "hear for missions" and zoned in on Jill, who said she wanted to be a missionary midwife in Latin America or somewhere, so he thought they'd match better. Jana has never given an indication the she wants to do long term missions, so someone with that goal wouldn't be a great match for her. Also, they may have tried harder to help Jill, because honestly, she was so drunk on the Koolaid, she needed it. I was sure she'd be the Stay at Home Daughter of the bunch, and be content. Jessa had to be married off before she did something sinfully embarrassing (i.e. not really bad, but defiant and therefore out of control and embarrassing), like hold hands or go on an unchaperoned date. Jana should in theory be the best catch of the whole bunch, and not need any assistance in finding a courter, except her insane parents could scare a lot of guys off.

It is a spoof blog, but if they're married, it isn't sinful lust, so whateves. If she's the wild child of the family, then LOL.

OK that;s just weird, especially since you know the girls are changing boy diapers. Not that it would take much prompting to get any kids to leave a room while there are stinky diapers being changed, but still.

This episode was so boring. They're wearing out that David Bowie song, Dandy just makes me roll my eyes, the twins make me roll my eyes even more, the sleazy guy is obviously a con man and nobody can figure it out? Are they all stupid? So Dell is secretly gay *yawn* and it's just hard for me to believe way out in BFE Florida, that there is this gay night club with all those hot guys in 1952. Maybe, maybe, in Miami or Havana, but suburban FLORIDA? I did like the Desiree backstory, her bonding with Kathy Bates, the explanation that Dell's dad had lobster hands. Highlight of the whole episode was the batshite crazy convo between Dandy's mom and Dandy, where she unapologetically explained that they were wealthy, inbred, mentally ill, but above the law and social norms, was excellent. I'm totally agreeing with the poster above who thinks she hired Twisty, so Dandy could have some dirty bum to take out his aggression, because dirty bums just don't matter and are disposable. The phone call with Gabourey's character was just painful to watch, because Gabourrey is such a deadpan, dull actress, that it sounded like someone reciting lines for a school play. She's terrible. Every line she delivers is flat, bored, fake and just awful. If Ryan Murphy just had to have her in this season, why didn't he just make her the Freak Show fat lady and be done with it. Girl makes Emma Roberts look like Meryl Streep.

Anna is as a bad as Michelle with obsessing with babies. When they showed her with her own babies, saying she couldn't wait to have another one, when (I don't remember which one) her baby wasn't even walking yet. showed me she's nuts. Also, on Jill's wedding episode, Anna was the one who kept talking about now they can have sex/fellowship or whatever and make babies. Seriously, she's obsessed as Michelle is. Eh, most parents teach their kids something cute to show off to people, so no biggie.

Maybe Jill was mid-wiffering or whatever you call birthin' babies.

From the preview commercial, someone injects something into a pink cupcake and gives it to the twins. Could be poison or drugs, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

For all of the comments about Jessa steamrolling over Ben, Jill's the one who NEVER. EVER. EVER. let's her husband finish a sentence without interrupting and then talking over him.

Those little girls all looked terrified while watching that. Seeing your mother tied up to a bunch of tubes and everyone being really nervous, then you see a little baby with gunk all over it, and then all sorts of tubes and wires connected to it, and your dad crying, well that's just a lot for little girls to process.

Jessa knew exactly what was going to happen from the beginning of the date preparation, and I think she was trying her best to soak in the moment without being smug or impatient. When she went ahead and kept holding hands, she was showing she knew the gig was up, and that they really couldn't do anything about it. When it finally came down to the actual asking of the question, I think she and Bin appeared far more direct and mature than Jill's "yeah, totally." I just wished she'd planted a big one on him, and made Michelle pop a vein. This also confirmed to me that they just wanted Jessa married off as quickly as possible, just like they wanted Josh married off. I don't think Jessa is inappropriate or promiscuous at all, but it's is terrifying to think a kid may be more likely to see thru the BS and be a little defiant, even if that defiance is just holding hands. When your mind is in the gutter and obsessed with sex, even the most innocent relationships are scandalous. I'm not sure now if Jessa wasn't into Bin, or if she was just terrified that if they locked eyes or were nice, they'd immediately rip each other's clothes off and then split hell wide open, because she's kind of been brought up to believe that. Even if you know the rules/doctrine is goofy, it's hard to actually do anything about it sometimes.

We didn't see CJ's birth, but if she had been diagnosed with PPD after his birth, when she punched Caroline, she would have reminded us over and over and over that she had PPD once, and was prone to again. There is definitely an increased probability that a mother who dealt with it once will deal with it again. If those Skinny Italian recipes weren't Teresa's, then whose were they? You can't say Kathy's, when they were all basic Italian cooking. I bought the first book. NOTHING was earth shattering original or Wolfgang Puck innovative or Julia Child complicated, but they were all pretty good. Legally, all you have to do to create your 'own' recipe instead of a variation of anything else, is change one ingredient - add some parsley, change 1/4 tsp salt to 1/2 tsp, and you've basically got the same thing, but not. There are only so many ways you can boil pasta or press a pizzelle, and it's all very similar. Honestly, there's no reason all of them can't publish a cookbook, and the whole Recipegate is just trite and pathetic at this point.

Not sure about Joe as a contractor now with his fraud convictions, but they definitely have a marketable brand with the whole Skinny Italian line, etc.She'd do great with a cooking show. If Jac had been diagnosed with PPD, I think she'd use it as a 'platform' for attention for herself, like she does with Nicholas and his autism diagnosis. We'd never hear the end of it, and ob gyns always look for PPD symptoms with subsequent pregnancies, if it's been previously diagnosed. Teresa looked shell-shocked to me, too. Overwhelmed, scared, confused, medicated, and just digesting it all, I guess. I think ALL of them, except maybe the twins and Rosie, have some creative income going on. We know the Wakiles and Lauritas have had money issues. I think this is why Melissa has wisely remained so silent through it all. She doesn't want any more digging into her own financials. Oh you know he does. Andy thrives on this sort of turmoil, and it's made him a fortune, a household name, etc.

JESUS himself was adopted by Joseph, and several NT verses talk about believers being the adopted children of God himself, so that trumps any OT 'sins of the father passed to the sons' talk IMO. I would love to see a real scholar sit down with Gothard and refute just about everything he teaches.

For years it was because he had to be cheap to feed, clothe and house a huge family. Now, I think it's just a pissing contest and control issue to prove he can weasel people down to a better deal due to his amazing negotiating skills.

I think they just have a texture that holds curl easily. I have the opposite problem - even with blowouts, it wants to get very big and wavy if there's even a hint of moisture in the air.

Dang, Ben's dad is only 39? His mom and dad look 10 years older. They look like normal people, not trying to be Flamboyantly Modest, or hodge podged together from Pinterst and the clearance rack of Kmart. It looks more light pink blush on my screen. Companies name colors weirdly, but no matter what, it isn't stark white. They look nice.

Maybe not normal competitions, but people do buy tickets and line up to see the Dance Moms girls at appearances and at competitions, so it is similar. Those girls do have fans, and many, many girls at dance studios are now wearing their hair and asking for practice clothes like the girls on the show, and I've seen more backwards running and flex footed turns, etc., in normal studios, like the Dance Moms girls do in every single routine. Either way, Gia has not exhibited any age inappropriate behavior on the show, or given any indication that she's doing anything sneaky or slutty. No matter how obnoxious her adult relatives are, it's unfair to her to peg her as a trashy Miley Cyrus kid, when all we've seen is some normal early teen angst.

I can't blame her for not wanting to do this in public, especially with an over eager groom. Jessa's anti-bride comments and bluntness is a huge cover for a perfectionist and very image conscious person. It's a defense mechanism, but I totally see why she doesn't want the scrutiny and criticism. It's not like she can unhitch her wagon from his dog and pony show. It's all she's known for years, her family and now her income. Eh, 2nd day chili, lasagna, beef stew, etc., usually tastes better. Frito Pie isn't what I chose for my rehearsal dinner, but I've been in weddings with rehearsal dinners ranging from private chefs to beach roasts to Nonna's homecooking to beer and pizza, so as long as the couple is being gracious and hospitable to guests, the menu doesn't matter to me.

I agree. Most dance comps have even their pre-teen (8-12 year olds) dancing in bra tops. Not cropped leotard tops, but literally underwire bras purchased from the lingerie dept and then styled for the costumes. I haven't seen Gia or any of the kids wear anything inappropropriate. That video was on the 'sexy level' of Hit Me Baby One More Time. I really dislike so many people trying their best to it look like Gia is being pimped out on a Kardashian level. Did Dina literally mean not washing a face for four days, or just lump hair and makeup together? If your hair is dry, four days isn't unrealistic. Also, really good false lashes can last that long.

Yeah, they were all terrified of being taken by Mordrake, so I don't think he was going somewhere peaceful. Emma just always comes off as an insincere brat who is trying to take advantage of people. The fakeness almost worked in Coven, because she was supposed to be a spoiled bitch, but it doesn't as a fortune teller. She was the fakiest of all fakes in that scene where she 'read' Elsa. I can see where a young guy who wants love could blindly fall for a girl who actually pays him attention, except Jimmy has been raised around carneys who are also scam artists and salesmen, so you'd think he'd spot her a mile away, too. Elsa was on opium, and has blind ambition, but still, I can't believe the rest of them aren't screaming and pointing FAKE - SHE HAS SOME OTHER MOTIVE! Best part of this episode was the backstories - except for Elsa's, it was just too dark and depraved - so I hope they do a few more in future episodes.

Some people are just more prone to acne than others, but piling on tons of makeup and hair products (gets on your pillow and face while you sleep) doesnt help.
