What is with JD? Is he trying to profit from his "Bachelor till the Rapture" glory day? Like pretty much everything he said was an attempt to be funny.

Well now I wonder whether Jill lied or exaggerated her fluency in Spanish to get in Derick's good graces.

He does, and Acqua Panna is Italian water. Still, he looks so normal here!

From Pickles' FB page. Derick on the right in 2009, during a band trip to San Diego.

Still relevant if it's Jill R and her dynamic with Jinger...didn't the Rodriguii attend JinJer's wedding?

Huh, it just occurred to me that Jeremy is the only one of the son-in-laws that isn't from Arkansas.

I TOTALLY read this in JD's voice.

http://www.duggarfamilyblog.com/ I went to the Duggar Family Blog website, which is run by Lily and Ellie, and in the video preview for the next season of Counting On, Jill utters those words in a TH while she is still pregnant with Samuel. Why they decided to focus on that quote I don't know.

If Spurgie watches Ben defer to Jessa all the time, it actually makes sense that he is following Meredith.

According to the CDC's website, as of July 5th, Arkansas has zero cases. If Sammy were the first Zika baby, he would not be the first born in the U.S. but he would be the first born in Arkansas.

Perhaps People could get an exclusive on Jill's health, since we don't know much about how she is doing at this point.

Coming up on TLC: The Druggars.

Usually the male pairings are Josiah/Jason, Jed/Jer, and JD/Joseph.

Interesting article. The author indicates they were raised Quiverfull but some of the organizations mentioned don't appear to be ones mentioned before with the Duggars. Still, very similar ideas. https://www.autostraddle.com/i-was-trained-for-the-culture-wars-in-home-school-awaiting-someone-like-mike-pence-as-a-messiah-367057/

There wasn't really a whole lot of Jessa/Seewalds in this episode compared to other episodes.

UGHHH. My wedding anniversary is October 7th!

Also, did anyone notice how Jeremy praised Jinger for her intelligence in learning Spanish? I don't think I've seen any other Duggar SIL nor Smuggar do that. Notably, he said that he thought she underestimated herself and what she could do. I didn't like the jender reveal, although I did like the Detective game; it just should have been used for a different purpose.

The Smuggars knew that it was a boy when they made the announcement. So probably 4 or even 5 months, which would put the conception in October or November, and the baby in July or August. But definitely not 2-3 months.

So, remind me again - Michelle had multiple VBACs, but nearly all were in the hospital, correct? Just Jinger and Joseph were VBACs at home?

I know the meaning of GWB was discussed some time ago, but had to chime in and say that I tend to associate GWB with George W. Bush. :P

The question has to do with the number of birthday parties the family has celebrated. Adding up the ages only works for the kids and grandkids. With JB, Michelle, Grandma, and spouses, you have to add up only the years since they married. 33 years apiece for JB and Michelle, 9 for Anna, 2 or 3 for Ben and Derick, etc. This current family didn't celebrate Grandma's birthdays when she was a child, for example. Perhaps add Amy (didn't one of her birthday parties take place at the Duggar house).
