Heathen

You make a good point. I'd like to know why two out of three brothers were in the wedding, along with one brother-in-law. Why not include the other brother and in-law, especially when the latter is the bride's cousin? Maybe Heidi was trying to avoid having any Rod girls in her party (good call), and including two more Rods in Tim's party would have made that unavoidable. Perhaps Heidi has more going on north of her neck than her hairdo.

Misread and thought, She is with child. He's her husband. Tim still weirds me out. He still reminds me of Kiefer Sutherland in Lost Boys. But I hope he is happy with Heidi and stays as far away as possible from his batshit-crazy mother. I also hope that he and Heidi don't have a ton of children to add to the fertility cult.

@Meow Mix was referring to the house her parents declined to purchase, not the Stew idiots' house.

A bar that is so low, snakes do the limbo under it.

Any bets on how soon Jilly preempts the bride and groom by posting photos of their wedding and reception before they can post themselves? The alternative is that she will pout and not acknowledge the wedding at all.

My gawd, were the Duggar boys ten miles away and running in the opposite direction when their deity was giving out good looks? Honestly, that second photo is downright scary, and not just because Smuggar is in it. What a homely bunch of people.

He needs that totally rad '70s collar, though.

Beard, lumpy, generic.

I hope for Hailey and what's-his-name that their Clark grandparents have a stern come-to-Jesus (pun intended) with Travis. Katie is gullible and will do whatever the nearest relative does, which in this case means pimping out her children, feeding them crap, and making an abomination of their development. Travis NEEDS to man up, be a father to his kids, and raise them properly. I wonder if he has enough brains to realize that the reason his parents were able to provide a bedroom for each child, a home, nice cars, and vacations is because they only had three kids. But then again, he married a Bates, so he probably doesn't.

I just want to know what kind of work Tim's doing in New York, if in fact he is. It's not as if he comes pre-loaded with useful skills.

No, and it never was!

Honestly, even the fact that he took a train to New York alone is a big step for him. I really do hope that his soon-to-be in-laws can deprogram him. Nobody deserves what his parents have done to him, no matter how awful their beliefs.

Do you mean not big on women in leadership roles? If not, I'm confused. I really don't think it would matter if Erin's degree were from an accredited school. I think she's in love with the idea of an old-fashioned Christian family, in which Pa heads out to work (as if); Ma stays home, wears prairie dresses, makes bread from scratch, and homeschools the young'uns; and gawd provides. The reality is that the old-fashioned Christian family really never existed at all, but that doesn't stop Erin's vision.

It's the dorky haircut. Honestly, I'd guess that they could keep themselves alive under good conditions (meaning no riptide, no whirlpool, no rapids), but who knows about their ability to save anyone else. I hope to dog we never have to find out.

Same reason it was okay for Jim Bob (private) and Michelle (public) to go to actual schools, but it's not okay for their children. Same reason it was okay for Gil and Kelly Bates to go to an actual college, but it's not okay for their children. And same reason it was okay for all of them to actually date, but they forced their children (at least publicly) into "courtships." Hypocrisy and control are the name of the game.

Trad wives meet Gothardism. She escaped.

I wonder if Chad's issue is that he doesn't want to do carpentry or contracting work at all. Maybe he wants to do something else entirely, feels stuck, and passive-aggressively retaliates by refusing to get a license and an actual career. Just a thought. Maybe he's just an idiot.

I hope they all enjoy the folliculitis they will all undoubtedly develop because no way are these lazy assholes cleaning the thing properly, unless they con someone else into doing it. Even more fun stuff you can get from hot tubs. I guess it's a good thing the Stew idiots have two bathrooms.

Everything is performative with these idiots. Performative religion, performative morals, performative childbirth, performative parenting. I swear "reality" TV and "influencers" are blights on the world.

He may have found his greatest talent.

He's a fundie. He never had much in the way of brains anyway.

I've said before that I think Jill wants her daughters to look worse so that she looks better in comparison. What she did to Kaylee is abusive. Look at that bitch's smirk.

There's also the scene in Dr. Keaton's office where Carter is about to take off his shirt, I think, and then he hides behind her desk so Benton doesn't see him. Then Dr. Keaton says she was "reviewing some anatomy." Always makes me laugh, although not as much as the got-caught scene. By FAR the superior Abby!

It may be that way in your area, but not in the rest of the east. People aren't closing their pools because of a social-construct holiday when the temperatures are the same. It's not like September rolls around and suddenly the temperatures drop. Good luck, Heidi.

Not in any part of the east I've lived in. The big question is whether Jill will pretend to be happy, or will she just pout?
