Was Zeman ill? I am shocked, mostly because I had no idea anything was wrong with her health.

I still get the feeling they've been dating for much longer than a few weeks. It's in my head now that both Robyn and Kody were focused on Christine dating as a reason for separation. Why would they think that was the reason? I wonder if David actually was in the picture during covid? As friends...but potentially wanting more.
I agree. I'm 100% certain they've been together since early fall and maybe even the summer. It only seems like she's rushing into the spotlight with him because of the smokescreens she put up about online dating or dating casually. For all of her flaws I don't think she was going to rush into a relationship just to put him on tv or to make Kody upset.
I'm interested to find out if she knew him or had mutual friends going back to when the family was in Lehi. Maybe he's the dad of one of Aspyn's friends? I'm sure we'll find out at the end of season 18 (19?) when he's introduced.
I also wonder if Kody's angry "she left a good man" stuff was because he already knew about David when they did the tell all.

I just watched those on the Toxicitea TikTok. They sound like ridiculous conspiracy theory stuff, not least of all, because the Browns aren't FLDS. They are/were AUB.
I think it's JO running that account.It is 100% the catfisher behind that account. I can't believe the number of people giving anything that is said credibility.

I thought Christine's comment about never seeing soul mates was odd. She lives in a primarily monogamous world. She has friends and relatives in happy marriages. She watches TV and is obviously on the internet. So Christine, at age 50, has never seen soul mates? It reminds of when she said she "just now realizes dads did Halloween with their kids". It took leaving Kody for her to notice the dads trick or treating with their kids? How does that make any sense?
I guess I get the sentiment and the messages she's trying to send, but they sound off or even untrue in the way she shares them.
I don’t think she just noticed-I think she’s saying that seeing Kody and Robyn together from the beginning -which is at least 12 years ago at this point-is when she realizes she didn’t have the same type of love with Kody as Kody had with Robyn. Christine was a pretty sheltered person prior to the Las Vegas move so I could see Kody and Robyn together really feeling eye opening to her.

One thing that really baffled me, was AuROARa’s reaction at the beginning of the clip. Apparently, the kids were under the impression that mom could die. What the heck did they tell those kids? No parent in their right mind tells their kids they’re dying unless they have absolutely no choice! (I mean, even we could tell from a video clip that she was absolutely miserable but nowhere near to dying) Losing a parent is one of the worst traumas a child can face. It’s literally the end of their world, so why put them through such a possibility when it’s not even real (and hopefully never will be)
Sorry for being so fierce about it. We went through this with my husband a year ago (collapsed with multiple embolisms)and there was no way we’d burden our kids with our very real worries at the time. They needed the reassurance and faith that we were doing what was necessary, which helped them to deal with what happened. (And yes, he’s fine now! This just brought back some unpleasant memories)
Robyn dramatizes things to her kids and transfers her anxieties and fears on them, hence Aurora and Breanna both having anxiety attacks. It's Robyn's fault for not getting a handle on her own issues and for not having the common sense to be more thoughtful in how she discusses problems with her children.

I get why people think this is gaslighting. But I really think we all should zoom out.
Christine did have disdain for Meri. Meri's behavior warranted her disdain. Those two have not been friends for a very long time - and they were locked in daily combat. A 25 year power struggle for Kody's attention isn't the greatest when you are trying to be "friends." I have no idea why people expect Meri to start loving and supporting Christine all of sudden now. They have not loved and supported each other for decades.
And Christine was jealous of Robyn/Kody's relationship which she fully admits.
So these statements by Meri are true. Even if those feelings of disdain and non-acceptance were completely understandable on the part of Christine. The power struggle was real.
That doesn't make Christine a bad person at all. It makes polygamy an awful institution. Look at what it has done to these women.
Agreed. I like the old saying "there's your side, my side, and then there is the truth." Some of what is being said about the individual relationships is true--but the reason things are that way is in the eye of the beholder. I tend to feel Meri earned a lot of the mistrust and disdain she experiences from Christine going back to how Meri conducted herself as the #1 wife prior to Robyn's arrival. Robyn came into the family and immediately demanded equal time with Kody even before they were married. Then Robyn became defensive and doubled down when the other wives were upset about the sham wedding dress search. From the beginning she shoehorned her way in--and happily had them pay off all her debts too--and created the negative feelings. I personally would have been done with Robyn the minute I saw that reimagined family portrait where everyone with Kody in the original picture was taken out so that Robyn's family could be inserted.

Agree- I think it looks perfectly cute for a young couple, and not in terrible shape.
It's an older home but most of what it appears to need is cosmetic. New flooring in the kitchen, paint the cabinets, do some landscaping outside, and maybe a fresh coat of exterior paint and it will be fine. Looks like someone is/was living there and I assume if there are electrical or plumbing issues the seller will have to fix it as part of the inspection (or reduced the price). For 85,000 it's decent sized and the lot is spacious. Buying a cheaper home and putting some sweat equity into it makes sense for a young couple who will almost certainly need to survive on one income.

Don’t underestimate the impact this could have on the Gothard sect, and people like Gil Bates. This book comes out on the heels of the anticipated documentary, so this is two fundie body blows back to back.
I expected this from Jill but it looks like Jinger has more quietly deconstructed her childhood religion.
I’m wondering if the brother in law is Derick rather than Ben? Jessa still seems pretty deep in the kool-aid.-

It’s interesting to hear Meri talk about her belief that nobody except Janelle is still invested in Coyote Pass. Janelle appears in this episode to know it too. Despite what Robyn says it seems the rest of the family knows Kody is perfectly happy at Robyn’s mini mansion.
My prediction is this season ends with Janelle “divorcing” Kody due to his preference for Robyn and their kids, as well as the unwillingness to build on Coyote Pass.
The preview for next episode had me almost on the floor at the GALL of Kody to assume the money from Christine’s house is going to the family. He just can’t get it through his head that she is DONE. She doesn’t want your excess food storage and she wants you to keep your hands off her money.-

Am I dreaming or is this child sitting on a counter top next to a stove where a pan is on the burner and presumably hot? Wearing a loose fitting tee shirt no less? And stirring something in the pan?
As far as letting kids sit or put their feet on counters, it isn't my preference, but I'm never eating in Jill's kitchen anyway. To each his own. Allowing a kid to sit next to a hot stove while wearing a loose fitting outfit that could easily catch fire? That's just ignorant.
If Sam is too young to cook at the stove, and I think he is, he's got no business being anywhere near it when cooking is happening.
I also agree that Jill and Derrick could've put some nicer shirts on the boys, especially since they wanted to take pictures. And I, too, do not understand Jill's reasoning on whether or not she shows the kids' faces. It only works if she is consistent.
Jill is clearly right there with him because she took the photo, and probably had him turn his head and sit still while she took it. If he is routinely left alone in the kitchen and allowed to cook then that might be a problem. As far as I can tell here, he's got his mom right by him and he's having fun helping with breakfast. I just don't see any danger.

Maybe she's homeschooling, but maybe, along with not putting their faces on social media anymore, she is also being more discrete about where the boys go to school and is posting things much later than when they actually happen. We may never know if they continue to be protective of the kids on social media. Not a bad thing at all.

Juneau is gorgeous, it is also land locked. It's on the water with steep mountains all around. No access by land, only by sea or air. If they are still there, I hope they're safe.
Juneau is southeast Alaska. The storm is going to hit western Alaska.

Unfortunately, it is not just a "put your mind to it" situation. Philip just does not have the education or skills to achieve his goals. I feel so sad for him.
This isn't a rigorous college and most likely he passes all his classes if he shows up and demonstrates the ability to memorize the bible. I don't think anything else will be too taxing. If anything this school will give him a lot of unwarranted confidence in his intellect.

He wasn't just a young guy she met in a bar. She's known him since he was a little boy and was practically raising him while Tracy was going through astronaut training. She was a mother figure to him.
Exactly. The age difference is not a problem legally, but the prior relationship between the two (he was childhood best friends with HER SON) makes it icky and morally suspect. I am close to the now adult children of a long time friend. If I ever started to see those young men as anything other than nephews, people would be right to accuse me of having a screw loose. I don’t see the reaction to Karen as slut shaming but she certainly should feel ashamed.

Just for fun I checked this out, there is no way to add your own photo. I tried touching where it says “add yours” and nothing happens, unless I’m just an idiot… which is possible 😄 I wanted to add mine and see if there would be any interaction.
It's an Instagram trend right now for couples to post an early photo of themselves; I've seen several people I follow on Instagram do it. They aren't asking followers to send them pictures. If you "add yours" I believe it takes you back to your IG and the photo is added there.

If Carlin were my daughter I would insist that her doctors refer her to a teaching hopsital with physicians who specialize in seizures of unknown origin. And it would not matter where I had to take her. This is absurd that they cannot get any answers as to why she is having these seizures. And if Evan were my son I would shake him and tell him if he did not get control of this situation he is looking at being a single dad raising 2 young children alone. They have fooled around for 2 months with this and things are no better than when she first started having seizures. She is basically going to be a home bound invalid if they don't get the proper diagnosis.
Thing is they have Vanderbilt right there and that's a pretty darn good hospital. I would assume they have doctors who specialize in seizures. I suppose they could try to get in at the Mayo Clinic if they don't get answers soon.

Why is Jill so sure her dad will lose his job? There’s this thing called FEMLA that would almost certainly protect his job until he’s able to return. Yes, it’s unpaid but applying for FEMLA will make sure he has a job to go back to if/when his wife is well.

I think Amy scheduling the very late-in-pregnancy baby shower for the exact week most family members are travelling and attending those spur-of-the-moment weddings, trips and family reunions makes perfect sense.
Right. The convenience of it is just astounding
And somebody else obviously wrote Jessa's "script". The day she uses the word "narrative", much less in a well constructed, punctuated and cohesive sentence, is the day Jeremy gives up his sneakers.
Good try Jessa & Amy, but your girl has an obnoxious husband that's made her an outcast. You can't pretend the lack of guests was due to scheduling.
I think it may have been less about Jill and more about the person who was hosting. Fortunately Jill seems to have friends from her neighborhood and church, as well as her SIL and MIL. It’s not the number of people who show up, especially at a 3rd shower; it’s the level of caring and closeness those who were there felt for Jill.

It's a Bates style YouTube vlog which, depending on views, could be kind of lucrative to them the way it is for the Bates kids on their various channels. Unlike the other Duggar kids who have YT channels, Jinger and Jeremy did a video style intro set to music that will probably air with each new vlog.
As far as the content, I do feel like Felicity and Evy will have a fairly mainstream life with opportunity for a good education (probably private Christian school) and social/athetic endeavors. Jeremy is a standard issue male chauvanist when it comes to women being pastors or leaders in church, but bringing his kids to a women's professional soccer game suggests the girls won't be denied the chance to play youth sports if they want to do so, and Jeremy will be fully supportive. Going to a concert suggests they will get to listen to music beyond classical or christian hymns/music. So those kids are already better off than Jessa's kids, Joe's kids, or Joy's kids could ever hope to be.

Ugh, I just had a thought that if Anna wanted to leave, Boob would only allow her to leave if she signed her parental rights over to him and Michelle.
Jim Bob is some local yokel from Arkansas; he's not a mob boss. There's no way he'd be able to "force" Anna to do anything. If she decides to take the kids and leave (unlikely) he will have no say in it, one way or the other.

Jill's instagram stories today are about her, Derick, and the kids attending a parade in Stilwell, Oklahoma. I'm pretty sure that means they live there now.

I thought MEshelle was the one who cared about her daughters wearing pants. But JB also didn’t approve? Too bad, you two, now several of your daughters have gone to the dark side!
Michelle cares because Jim Bob gaslighted her very early in their marriage to feel bad for “cheating” him out of her virtue by dating other boys and wearing immodest clothing before she met him. Her conviction to wear dresses and avoid things like dancing almost surely came from JB’s passive aggressive comments about her “loose” teen years.

Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!
in Counting On
Based on the synopsis available on Amazon this is going to blow Jinger’s book out of the water. Jill looks poised to blow up what Jinger left standing.
