Gemma Violet

Nah, she probably simply had two episodes of questioning her faith. Like I said above, since the second one happened right after Gunner's birth, there may have been some post-partem depression involved. She said she felt dark and hopeless. That sure sounds like depression to me.

I think the Duggar girls learned how to cook for an "army," i.e. lots of big casseroles using processed ingredients, and not so much cooking healthy meals from scratch. I'd guess preparing grilled chicken and roasted asparagus would be foreign to Jana, but she could probably whip up any variation of tater tot casserole. (Side note: One of the sisters once said in a video that they didn't eat tater tot casserole nearly as much as people thought.)

I don't think Jana would mind her unmarried siblings easing up on the rules in her home, but I think there's always been an environment in Duggarland of snitching on your siblings for not following the rules; at least it was that way years ago. I'm thinking the only way one of them could get away with something at Jana's house would be if he/she was the only sibling at Jana's house. Otherwise, it would be too risky that the infraction would be reported to JB.

She was doubting her faith and felt she had to read the bible more. She felt she couldn't do enough. (Kind of sounds like Jinger when she said she felt bad when she was young for playing with the other kids instead of reading her bible.) After she had Gunner, she was mentally worn out, asking herself, "Who is God? Is there a God?" (Maybe there was also some postpartum depression?) She said it was a scary place to be because she had never before questioned God. She would lie in bed being so scared because everything she believed may not be true. She felt dark and hopeless. Austin helped her through it and didn't make her feel bad about what she was going through. She went back to the bible and now knows she doesn't have to keep struggling for God's love. She knows God loves her and she learned what faith is. While she was explaining all this, she was sobbing pretty intensely.

Honeymoon video:

J & J interview Joy:

Ben Domenech's first two marriages both lasted seven years. His marriage to Meghan hit the seven-year mark this past November. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

From what I've read, the contestants don't wait for the clue to end. Instead, they are told to watch for a light to come on. The light comes on at the end of the clue, of course. They can anticipate the millisecond Ken will end the clue, but yes, they may get locked out if the light hasn't come on.

In the video, Austin did contrast himself now to his younger self, saying he was in a bubble then, and discussed that's he more flexible now when it comes to other people's beliefs, although presumably he was specifically talking about other forms of Christianity like J & J's beliefs, not people outside the Christian world.

J & J's latest video below. They interview Austin. Did we know that Austin and his family had done an episode of the reality show World's Strictest Parents? If it was discussed here, I must have forgotten it.

If you're referring to my previous post, I'm not doubting there's a lot of scripting, etc. in videos, but in this case, we can see Jinger actually moving the bed and doing the physical work.

The final episode came out today. Wow, great episode, but the ending challenge didn't stretch out for a long time like we expected. The third place finisher was smart to take that million and have a sure thing instead of taking a chance. Glad the second place finisher was given a consolation prize. Congrats to the winner.

Jinger's latest video: Jinger is seven weeks away from her due date. I've never been pregnant, but don't pregnant women avoid lifting heavy things, or am I wrong? Jinger is getting her nursery ready and, all alone, she moved the full-size bed out of the guest room and moved in the baby bed, changing table, and other stuff. Jeremy is nowhere to be seen. Jinger's friends come in later to help with wall decorations, etc., and then Jeremy comes in at the very end to see the finished product. If I was him, I wouldn't let her post that video. It's not a good look to let your pregnant wife move a full-size mattress off a bed. Jinger leaned the mattress against the wall and said, "I'll get Jeremy to help me lug it out later."

I love this show, but the rules seem to be so random. For example, today, the word was 'bandage,' and the clue given was 'Band-aid.' That was not allowed because of the 'band' part. However, earlier this week, the word was 'extrovert, and the clue was 'opposite introvert.' So, out of a three-syllable word, two of the syllables were identical, and yet, it was allowed. eta: I was thinking maybe it was because the 'band' part was at the beginning of the word, but I found this upthread: So, yeah, no rhyme or reason. On another topic, I notice how when a team is told something like, "You've won a stay in New York City," they understandably think they're getting a trip, including airfare. It's obviously just a stay in a hotel, since no airline is ever mentioned. And they never say the amount of time, like 'a week's stay.' It may be a two-day stay, for all we know. By the way, I love the 'pod' format. I hope they never go back to the old format.

Aww, I'm sorry that Patton's out. I like him much better than Joel McHale.
