I look at the lawn mowing from a different angle. Jill busted her ass as an unpaid nanny for years while the Duggar boys lazed around and did jack shit. Helping their sister with some yard work is the least they can do. mythoughtis, the points you mention are where I think Dill might run into some legit trouble. A friend of mine used to date a super subservient Japanese girl. She drove him crazy because she literally would not make an autonomous decision about ANYTHING. From what to cook for dinner to what kind of soap to buy at the drugstore, she would call and ask him. He eventually grew bored and dumped her. Now, I don't think Derick will do that, but I can see him getting annoyed.

I'm irked by the fact that every time the Vanderhoff family comes to visit, one of the Duggars feels the need to mention some of their kids are adopted while all the Duggar kids are from the same parents. Considering 2/3 of the Vanderhoff kids are Black or Hispanic, it's like no shit Sherlock. I feel it's very disrespectful to differentiate between bio and adopted kids, as if one is more legit over the other.

Lord have mercy. The English majors on this forum must be having spasms after reading that mess.

BitchOnWheelz, lulz! I definitely used the word "juice" way too liberally in my earlier comment! I should have said "especially when Jace dropped his cavity-inducing sugar water on the floor and Jenelle flipped out." I give Chelsea a pass on the corn dogs. I've moved several times and we always ordered pizza or Chinese the first night in a new house. I think people generally eat the way they were raised. As a kid I remember visiting my dad's family up in rural Canada. I had a cousin who's teeth were rotting out of his head and my aunt would put Pepsi in his sippy cup. My Swiss grandmother thought cream and butter were a food group. I honestly think some people just don't know any better.

My biggest pet peeve is when the guest brides attend an ethnic wedding and then complain about the lack of American food. I saw that happen with an Indian girl where the guest brides bitched about the buffet stations not having labels. Um, just because YOU don't know what the food is doesn't mean the other 400 guests don't. Then on the flip side they'll complain about a bride's food being "typical catering hall fare." Make up your damn minds!

I swear I have to avoid eating when I'm on the Duggar forum. I just nearly choked on a blueberry when I read TFDW's comments about being accountable for Internet use.

The dogs ripped the bag of food apart. I have four dogs and we always feed them in their crates to avoid fights. One of my dogs has the oddest habit of turning his food dish over and eating the kibbles one by one off the crate pan. He definitely prefers to dine Leah-style:)

I find the Kellers to be the most fascinating of the Fundie families simply because their kids are all over the place. They have one son who left the fold and married the antithesis of Gothard ideals. One daughter who is a typical Fundie frump. Two daughters who could pass as Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, a simpleton married to a gay man and Anna, who is somewhat middle of the road. Pa Keller must be wearing his knees out praying the youngest two don't jump ship.

Aw shucks, Persnickety1! However I'm not sure I should take all the credit. With the amount of snark-worthy material I have to work with, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, you know?

NikSac, thank you! I think I'm going to have a t-shirt made up with "jellus hater for realz." It disappointed me that Kail's friends came off as unsupportive when she breastfed at the restaurant. It's amazing how in our sex obsessed culture a woman feeding her child is seen (by some) as dirty and scandalous. So Leah spends frivolously, lives beyond her means and smoked while pregnant. She's the Appalachian version of Kim Zolciak. With the plastic weave to match!

I just had a thought: Do Leah and Jeremy ever think about the effect their fights have on little Ali? According to them, most of their financial problems are directly related to Ali's illness. Medical bills, wheelchairs, the need for a handicap accessible house etc. Do they not consider the fact that Ali is internalizing all this information and might begin to feel she's a burden to her family? These people truly suck.

Leah smokes?! No wonder her skin and hair look like shit. I feel like a huge mystery has been solved.

In addition to Jenelle, I want to slap the shit out of Barb for subjecting Jace to Jenelle's volatility and emotional abuse. Poor Jace had that "fight or flight" look in his eyes the entire weekend, especially when he dropped his juice and Jenelle flipped out. According to Jenelle's sycophants we're all "trippin cuz it's not like she hit the dogs or nothin." Apparently screaming, cussing and dragging animals around in front of a four year-old doesn't qualify as abuse. No, that sounds like a perfectly healthy environment to raise a child in. SMDH.

PlanetSassy, Nathan scares the hell out of me. When he acts all nicey-nice with Jace I feel he's just doing it for the camera but secretely hates the kid behind closed doors. I don't know how to post links, but apparently Animal Control was called to Jenelle's house in July. The dynamic duo left the Husky tied to a tree during a storm. The dog was wrapped up in his chain, couldn't reach his water dish and had nails curling into his paw pads. AC gave them a "warning." Fabulous.

ghoulina, lol! If you need more laughs, check out the TM2 FB page. Jenelle's fans are a real brain trust. The spelling and grammatical errors alone will make your brain bleed. I forgot to mention earlier that Kail seemed kind of irked when Javi tagged along with her to the club. I think she really wanted a girls night out, especially since she lives so far away and doesn't get to see her friends as much as she used to. Also, Leah looked like she was trying to use a Chase debit card at the store. Even with the card blurred out, it looked identical to the one I have.

Oooh, one of Jenelle's leg humpers responded to a nasty comment I made on MTV's FB page! And I quote: "whachu expect her to do? she prenant and bye herself! she got lot to deal with cuz her man bein lock up and she have Jace." That is seriously what someone wrote to me, word for word. I'm officially a jellus hater!

OMG, ladies! We're so wrapped up in the dogs we forgot the other form of abuse tonight: Who. The. Fuck. Would. Name. Their. Kid. MOXON?! Of all the shitastic baby names I've heard recently, that one is an absolute crime against humanity.

Yeah, the "sssss" makes my ears bleed. I also hate how they pronounce Josie's name with that drawn out "s" rather than a "z" sound.

If I'd been there when Jenelle was abusing those poor dogs, I would've whooped her ass, pregnant or not. Maybe the dogs are a tad restless because they're crated fifteen hours a day. Why doesn't that stupid bitch hire a dog walker? And putting a Husky and a Pitbull together in a too-small crate? Yeah, good move. I think Leah's scene at the appliance store was a producer set-up. What was the purpose of buying a 3k W/D set when they're about to move into an apartment? And what the hell do they do with all their money? I thought Kail looked pretty at her birthday dinner but her hair came out too brassy. She was in serious need of a toner. Chelsea was her usual whiny self. Begging a four year old to get off the table? No wonder your kid doesn't respect you.

Which stolen recipe did Ree use to beat Bobby Flay? Overuse of the term "Man Cave" is the main reason I can't watch House Hunters anymore. The best part of that epi was Ree dousing the chopped salad in dressing...only to stick it right back in the fridge. "Hey, Bricey and Toddey, you up for some soggy lettuce?!"

Lillybee, not only that but Hyacinth's kids weren't there and Ree seemed to barely know any of the kids at the picnic. I thought they were all supposed to be one big happy co-op family? Let's just pray none of those kids got salmonella poisining from those undercooked chicken legs. Or from that macaroni salad that was sitting out in the sun minus an ice pack.

Ugh, so you mean to tell me Bin has his very own set of leg humpers on FB? He's neither in school nor working and Jessa does little besides post heavily photoshopped selfies on Instagram and still people look up to these two?!

I don't have an issue with flip-flops when they're appropriate, however the Duggar girls wear them EVERYWHERE, even when the locale calls for a more formal type of shoe. The Duggars are multi-millionaires, at the very least the J'Slaves should have a decent pair of pumps for doing appearances and book signings. Compared to the Bates girls, they look straight-up sloppy.

OMG, this episode was a hot mess. 25 minutes of commercials, filler and stock footage and 5 minutes of cooking. How was the pet parade a "reward" for the kids? What about the kids in the program who don't own animals? Wouldn't something like a pizza party with make your own sundaes and goody bags have been more kid friendly? Epic fail, Hyacinth! Ree's food, as usual was completely underwhelming. Limp looking chicken legs that were woefully underseasoned, a mish-mash macaroni salad and oatmeal cookies sans raisins. At least PW never disappoints in terms of snark-worthiness!

Wow, a buzz-in question? That seems kind of flimsy given how much money was at stake. I think the audience would have been much happier seeing co-champs than one contestant eking out the victory on a question that played heavily into his strengths. At least Alan and Cooper still walked away with nice chunks of change.
