I also remember the scene in the airport in which one of the kids fell down or hurt themselves or some other damn thing. They didn't run for J-Chelle. They ran for Janarella. She and her sisters are those kids' moms. KJB wants to play the paterfamilias but I am dying to know the number of minutes per day he actually spends with any of his kids. I'll bet it's less than half an hour, unless he's lecturing -- oops, doing "Bible study" with them. I'm guessing Jilly Muffin will be following her lead and farming out Izzy and Sam at every available opportunity.

Okay, I laughed out loud.

Just the thought of their playing hide the sausage in someone else's house makes me want to spew. One can only imagine the enjoyment of the poor people who have to LISTEN TO IT. :barf:

Watch them give it to Joshley Madison. After all, one has to imagine that everyone in town knows where he lives by now. If Jessa Blessa and Bin were smart, they would ask for the proceeds from various family ventures that they were paid for, use the money for a down payment, and buy a smallish, easy-to-keep up house. I'd rather live in a 500 square foot lean-to than continue to depend on KJB and J-Chelle. One also has to wonder if Bin's allergies would improve due to his not living in a house that probably still has active mold in it, seeing as how the Duggars didn't bother using professionals for removal.

Occam's Razor, folks. Again, there's nothing else going on but RATINGS and DONATE.

Jim Boob is a piece of shit. I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall during the first convo after the wedding between the Holy Goalie and KJB. It probably happened over the phone and got heated at the least. He's not my favorite and I do not understand why he married Jinger (she's "meek"? Now that he knows her better, does he still hold that impression?) but I can't imagine his remaining silent when he was asked to fill out an exhaustive questionnaire with some highly personal info about himself and the Duggars stonewalled any effort to learn about his soon-to-be-wife and family. Let's face it, the Holy Goalie had probably had a heads-up before their wedding but I will always wonder if any of them decided to tell KJB how things were (so to speak) post wedding.

FASCINATING that Jim Boob insisted on total transparency for any man dating his daughter, but did not offer the same in return. One can only imagine what happened when each of these guys found out they'd be dealing with a sexual assault survivor and a perpetrator that was also a family member.

Hey, TLC: Want an idea for an upcoming episode? I would PAY to see video of Jinger calling up the smug Jilly Muffin to tell her how she needs to work on her "contentment". RATINGS. DONATIONS.

I might also mention that it is almost comical when one considers that Jilly Muffin was "the favorite" and got saddled with arguably the second worst husband of the bunch. (Joshley Madison has a death grip on #1.) Not a Bin fan but Jessa Blessa had the last laugh on ol' Dad. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Dillard marriage in the next couple of years. I predict Triple D will be spending a lot of time on the "mission field" while Jilly Muffin stays home in the US with the kids.

Nobody comes off looking good here, do they? KJB and J-Chelle were so desperate to get at least one daughter married off that they chose a man that could not have been more wrong for her -- did they not know what the missionary requirements of his church were, or did they just not care? Did they realize that her "certificate" barely qualifies her to listen to a baby's heartbeat and even then, anyone with an IQ above room temp would ask for a qualified and experienced professional? He was so desperate to find anyone to have sex with that he married a woman that was a stranger and didn't bother asking her if she had the educational background to serve as a missionary in his denomination. Did they never talk at all about her schooling until after they were married and it was too late? (What the fuck did they talk about while they were on the chaperoned "dates"? The weather?) Jilly Muffin was so desperate to get out of the house that she married the first guy with a pulse who could fill out KJB's fifty-page application and didn't bother either telling him or doing a 30 second Google search (one has to imagine that Google is verboten in that household, come to think of it) on what was expected, educationally and personally, as a missionary's wife in his denomination. HE could have done a Google search on what exactly her "certificate" qualified her to do as well -- it must have been too hard for him. Who ARE these people?

They stood out like a sore thumb on Kauai. I'm sure they were greeted by many of their adoring "fans" while there. Our uncle lives there. The last time we went I wore shorts for a week because it was so hot and humid.

I don't ever want to see a Kardashian on this program. EVER.

It's hard to imagine that there is not a non-profit in the entire state of Arkansas that does not need a volunteer that would be able to assist the accountant. It's also pretty funny that we've never seen him substitute teaching again. Most school districts are crying for anyone with a degree that would be willing to sub while teachers are sick or need time off.

It's astonishing to me that his family or friends haven't (from all appearances) said something to him about his slacker lifestyle. Wouldn't most guys be embarrassed to sit around all day watching their hair grow and posting screeds on social media instead of doing something productive with their time? If he thinks the woman who mouthed off to him about "are you done yet" on Twitter was offensive, maybe I need to follow him and ask if his sitting on his ass all day (oops, his "ministry") is a great example for his sons. Churches all over the country need volunteers, as does the Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA, food banks, on and on and on. Hey! Here's an idea: THE BOY SCOUTS. It's astonishing his bro hasn't tried to persuade him to get involved with a local troop. Then again, I'm sure Triple D's busy schedule of doing NOTHING might preclude that. Why does he think he gets to sit around all day while there is a never-ending amount of housework, cooking, cleaning and every other damn thing that has to happen in a household?

SOS is keeping Jilly Muffin and Triple D around for the "star factor". Others will actually sign up for the missioncations because they want to brag to their friends that they were in "ministry" with the Duggars. I was always amazed at seeing people from our church go nuts over the latest Christian "celebrities". If you don't think there are name dropping and ass kissing in the fundie world, you might want to think again.

Imagine how much fun it was to work with him. Seriously. If Jilly Muffin wasn't showing up to eat lunch with him or he was jetting out of there at 4:59 PM because she was already in the parking lot, you have to believe that tabloids were ringing his desk phone (and calling his co-workers to get "exclusives") off the hook on a daily basis. I think it's sad that a 19 year old kid saddled a baby with a first name that will make him the butt of jokes for the rest of his life, public school or not.

This is a trainwreck waiting to happen. Let's hope the kids spend lots of time with their paternal grandma over the next few months.

You know Beyonce will get the cover next week with "exclusive" pictures and the whole shebang. I'm guessing some publicist writer is creating a work of fiction about Jilly Muffin's Baby Joy as we speak...

I'm not absolving Jilly Muffin by any stretch of the imagination. One might imagine, however, that the more educated member of that union might have some inkling about the urgency of prenatal care and checkups by an actual medical professional, not to mention spending several months in an area affected by Zika carrying mosquitoes while his wife was pregnant. I get what you're saying as well, but one of the hallmarks of being an adult is learning from one's mistakes. It seems neither of them have done so. My opinion.

RATINGS. DONATE. I am sorry to those who think I am cynical, but again, do they do anything that isn't cash or publicity motivated?

I blame Triple D. We know that Jilly Muffin is unable to take care of herself under any circumstances. The fact he allowed her to make decisions during not one but TWO pregnancies that have now featured the photo evidence of problems demonstrates his extreme ignorance. His buying into the Duggars' anti BC, anti prenatal care, home birthing bullshit is on him and nobody else. If he really wants to be the "headship", he could have insisted on health insurance and pre-natal checks by an actual MD. It boggles my MIND that anyone claiming to have a college degree from a state university in this day and age could be stupid enough to allow his wife to insist that an ultrasound from a strip mall and her "midwife" certification was sufficient for pre-natal care, especially since her decision making during the first labor and delivery was so poor it created an emergency situation for mother and baby. I think she had Zika and the baby is now paying the price for his parents' stupidity. They have no visible assets so the chances are good that they'll get Medicaid, too. IMHO.

They're still 19. Both of them. They never grew up and they never will. They've hobbled their children, too. Those kidults aren't allowed to make their own decisions or even to hold a job that's away from the TTH. I can't imagine how they get through a day. Seriously. We did not have Teh Kidz, but if our son in law decided to quit his job and go running off to the "mission field' with no training, no preparation, and continue to sit on his ass while they were home for breaks instead of getting a job, we'd be having a pretty serious conversation unless they had a high six-low seven figures balance in savings.

Of course it is. They won't rest until he's back on the show; it'll increase ratings. IMHO but I think Jilly Muffin probably had Zika while pregnant with Samuel and they won't admit for years what actually happened.

I thought the dress looked awful on her. It didn't flatter her figure, the long sleeves were TOO long, it just was not all that. Then again, I spent most of that episode marveling at the contrast between her and the woman from Louisiana who was in the midst of cleanup from a flood that her family wasn't insured against. I have to wonder what "girl without a job" had to say when she saw that those who produce and edit SYTTD didn't have to work especially hard to make her look like an entitled, spoiled, shallow idiot on national TV.

If the Holy Goalie is using any means whatsoever to delay pregnancy until they are on their feet financially and have some time to get to know each other as husband and wife, GOOD FOR HIM. I am somewhat curious to know if he came to this decision after watching the adventures of two of his brothers-in-law that impregnated their wives at the speed of light and now are dealing with two kids each.
