These are the same people who think Jill is a legitimate midwife. She damn near killed herself and her own sons, but they still think she knows what she's doing.

Yep, Debbie, the one he actually had chemistry with and should have ended up with. Good observations about Carter's type. Maybe that's why Carter + Kem never made sense.

Same. Only my cats sit on the counter (I clean before and after cooking, and life is too short to spend it chasing cats off the counter).

Two fabulous kitchens -- the show kitchen and the industrial kitchen, both of which are nicer than mine. I'd love just to have as much counter space as the Duggars do.

Jill might have better luck if she fed Nurie and stopped trying to make her look bad (so Jill looks better). In that photo with the flute, Nurie looks about fifty years old. A tired, worn-out, beaten-down, tarted-up fifty, at that.

I'm aware of how much plumbers can make and that it's a career. My question was why spend the money on a college education if he didn't need it, or why get a degree in finance if his intent is to run his family's business. A BBA would be better suited to running a small business.

Fixed it for you!

PCC isn't much better than Clown College. Why get an actual degree if his family owns a plumbing business? Or why work as a plumber when one has a finance (i.e., clean hands) degree? Fundie logic, I guess.

Talking heads are scripted and edited.

Does the latest Bates-adjacent groom have a job to support his new wife and soon-to-be children? Is he attending a real college, not Clown College?

Why is Audrey Roloff horrible? Better a knot/bow thing than the infamous fake pigtails.

They both look like they were too young to get married without their parents' written permission. He in particular (I don't remember his name and I'm too tired to look it up) looks like he hasn't even started shaving yet. Further proof that the Bateseseseseses are just like other fundies but in better disguises.

Good god, they were dorky even by fundie standards.

Or even just give her some nice, normal guy who didn't work in the ER. Not a Carter, not sloppy Chuck, not the psychiatrist from the first season. Not Luka! (You know the writers probably thought about it.)

Not to mention, how did an uneducated woman with a spotty employment history, a criminal record, and a history of drug abuse manage to get a good job like insurance underwriting five seconds after she got "clean"? Chloe couldn't keep a menial job before, but suddenly she's an insurance underwriter? Uh huh, and Jerry is an Olympic gymnast.

It didn't take Alyssa long to discover the Jill Rodrigues School of Hair, did it?

I didn't mind the failed relationships, either. Benton was an outright ass to Jeannie during their affair, and he was condescending to Corday as well. Cleo -- who knows. Maybe she was less tree-like at home! It was his character perpetuating a stereotype about black men -- when Benton deliberately avoided perpetuating stereotypes about black men -- that bothered me.

It was only season three, so maybe Eriq La Salle felt he didn't have enough power to complain? Or maybe he felt Benton-as-dad would show the character's softer side in contrast to the intense hardass he'd typically been up to that point.

Living with Princess Erin can't be easy. I imagine her siblings were happy to see her leave the nest. Anybody else think Erin looks a little like Miss Piggy? Okay, I'll show myself to the prayer closet. Paines. Chad doesn't look bad for his age to me. I must be missing something if y'all think he's aging in dog years. John Webster looks older than Chad.

Getting counseling is the hardest step. There are many, many people who can't even do that who are brighter and were raised in better environments than Smuggar Duggar.

I always thought Carla's accidental pregnancy was out of character for Benton. Sure, he and Carla had obvious chemistry, but Benton was careful about how black men were seen by others (remember him talking to Gant about checking the African-American box on his medical school application?) I think being an unmarried, noncustodial father by accident is something Benton would have strived to avoid and thus made sure to use birth control.

That article was incredibly poorly written. The media is really dumbing down, isn't it?

I think Anna has a genuine "heart for children" or whatever that BS term is they use, while Mullet patently does not. I feel sorry for Josh at times. Yes, he's an incestuous child molester and serial philanderer who could change his life if he wanted to, but I'm sure he feels he is NOT capable of doing so. He's from a culture and family in which using birth control is likened to murder, and he's married to a Flavor Aide-drinking woman who will continue to have babies as long as her body allows her to. And he's next to unemployable outside their culture. In short, he's stuck. A strip club arrest or DUI for Smuggar would not surprise me.

Caesareans may limit Joy's breeding, if she needs a C each time. Then again, her fool mother had multiple VBACs and even two home VBACs, so you never know. I don't think any of the Duggar daughters or daughters-in-law will get close to Michelle's number, not even Anna, because her pace has been pretty consistently every two years. If Anna goes until she's 43, she would still "only" have about 12 kids.

How long was Josie's engagement? This seems like a record-short span from engagement to wedding.
