I call bullshit. No way they would let her go that long after her water had already broken.

A baby bump or a very unflattering blouse. Maybe Jessa figures she'll get one out of the way so people will get off her back and then she can use the child as her excuse to not get pregnant right away. "Oh, it's so much work, having a baby/infant/toddler" and boom...five years go by.

Isn't he 18? At any rate, Josiah is likable until he starts using instagram and twitter to say stupid, insulting things like Benessa do. I hope he is different and not so self-righteous.

Josiah is cute, and he has good fashion sense (take notes, Josh!). I hope he breaks all of Boob & MeChelle's rules during this courtship. Go wild, Josiah! Hold hands! Frontal hug!

One of the things I am noticing about this show that is really grating on my nerves is just how exhausting all the characters are. It seems like the writers thought "hey, quirks are fun, let's make sure everyone is always quirky all the time and that they are on full blast all the time." It's exhausting to watch and listen to. Maybe it was less annoying when the show originally aired and you had a week between shows, but watching episodes back to back it's really hard to get past these character quirks. The banter between characters can be especially grating. Everybody's gotta be cute and there has to be "amusing" repartee before anyone can say anything of actual substance on this show. I just watched S7E15, I am Kayak, hear me Roar--there were some nice moments between Emily and Lorelei when Lorelei was trying to help her mom with the Quicken stuff. Emily was actually human...and then the next morning she's back to being an intolerable bitch. Why? Why can't Emily show some growth there? I honestly don't know why Lorelei puts up her mother--she's unbearable, and I would have cut that toxic woman out of my life a decade ago, if I were Lorelei. Does Lorelei get anything out of this relationship besides torture?

Wouldn't you just loooooove to hear their take on things? Like, totally?

And, you'll only get a styrofoam cup to vomit in!

Confirmation that these two are a couple of assholes. That poor baby.

There are a lot of reasons someone might take a dog to a facility to wash it...and pay for it. My neighbors have great danes, and while they can hose them off outside sometimes, during the fall/winter/spring it's too cold to bathe a dog with cold water outside. Obviously, their dogs are too big for most home tubs. The tubs at facilities are up higher, which is easier on your back when washing the dog. I wash my dog in our tub, but it would be easier on my body if I took him someplace. Lastly, those places have dryers that work way better than home hair dryers. I've always said that if I ever build a house, I'm going to build a dog washing area in a mudroom or something like that!

Isn't using NFP against God's will? If you were truly leaving it up to the will of God, then you wouldn't need to track anything, you'd just do it when the holy spirit moves you and if a baby results, it's God's will. Doesn't MeChelle trust God? /snark

Yes! I just started catching episodes on ABC Family. I have watched bits of seasons 1-3. I think I've seen all of 4 and definitely all of 5 and 6. I may have watched an episode or two of the show when it originally aired, but never was that into it. I work from home and my job doesn't require 100% concentration, so I usually play episodes on my iPad while I work. I'm enjoying the show! I'm so glad I don't have to wait a week to see episodes and I can just plow right through them. Like I said in the Logan/Rory thread, Logan is really growing on me. I am generally not a fan of entitled snotty rich kids (in life or on TV) so I'm a little surprised that I'm growing to like him. I've also mentioned how much I fucking hate Taylor. Kirk is close behind. Of all the secondary characters (Or would they be tertiary?) I like Babette and Miss Patty--they crack me up. Melissa McCarthy can do no wrong, although I find some of her interactions with Jackson to be over the top and annoying. But she has great timing and her little comments always make me giggle. Luke's manic anger is really tiresome, but when he is being sweet (or just normal) I like him. I have reached the point where Lorelei and Christopher did Paris and I really like their chemistry--better than Luke and Lorelei together. I'll think about episodes and seasons a bit...I need to see more of the earlier seasons before I can decide!

I'm about 6 or 7 episodes in to season 7 and I'm finding it to be just fine. I have a general idea of how the series wrapped up but I'm interested in seeing it play out.

"Determined good cheer"--That's a good way to describe him. I also loved that his nickname for Rory (Ace) evolved from being condescending to affectionate. When he first started calling her Ace it was so obnoxious and felt like a put down, but later it was charming and sweet.

Well, if the TLC crew was already there filming the birth, I don't find it all that surprising that they released a "commercial" for the upcoming VSE. They agreed to have the birth filmed, so filming a commercial for it goes along with the territory.

Chrizzy!

OMFG. 12 pounds?! And then a 10 pounder? I bow to you. Those are some big babies!

Can you expound on that, because I don't see the abusiveness. Granted, I don't watch the show all that closely (It's usually playing while I do something else) I find some of the relationships totally annoying, but not necessarily abusive.

I gotta admit, I kind of have a little crush on Logan. He's kind of a pompous rich guy asshole, but he is always smiling and he was kind of cute when he was all beat up from his accident. He seems to really love Rory. It's a refreshing change from Moody McMooderson Jess.

YOU GUYS! The gender reveal episode is on....Gosh, I wonder what they are having. This is so suspenseful!!!!

Someone on the Duggar Facebook page actually posted that the baby looks exactly like JimBob. What an insult! LOL

It just seems like no one ever calls Taylor out on his bullshit. God, he is such an annoying character. HATE him! LOL
