My shallow take-aways from this episode: NOBODY would stop and get a piano at a tag sale and then shove it through someone's front door. And Rebecca didn't hear the ruckus this would've produced? There is NO WAY on earth that Kate would've been considered at Berklee merely with a little demo tape. It would take a lot more than that. I know she didn't go, but geez. NOBODY in 2018 would notice or care that Kevin and Zoe were together. That prom date father too...what was the year ? Like 1998? That scene was more like 1958. Mandy Moore does NOT wear a size small (some past episode). She's 5'10" for starters, and not exactly Audrey Hepburn-sized. STOP with the "singing" in this show. Please stop. My head was spinning from all the flash-back-and-forth hair lengths. Dan Lauria!!

Wasn't he out having a grand old time in college...partying, drinking, etc ? This has to be revisionist history for Mr. Holier-than-Thou.

They all look pregnant.

Judging by the "97" after his name, I'm going to assume he's 21. If I were a teenage ( Fundie or maybe not) girl, I would be all over that.

Hahaha....yup...need at least 33" and some in the family wear 36". It's serious. What is Chad's business?

(Finally got around to watching this) Must add: 4. Was this fair in Pennsylvania? There were Christmas decorations at the fair and in another scene. Rebecca was in a sleeveless halter dress with a skinny little jacket. Then she took it off. Brrrr....... So...when are there fairs at night in PA in the winter? And who dresses like that in the NE? 5. Why does young Jack only talk out of the right side of his mouth? 6. They just met and it was her idea to "go somewhere else", so why did he have to pay for everything? And she kept wanting stuff cuz she thinks she's so cute. It wasn't really a "date". Ken Olin is the master of this craziness. I can tell. (I've seen all his other series.) I'm waiting for his RL wife to appear as a vixen in the past, ready to snatch up Jack.

LOL. I'm the exact opposite. My family all has overly long legs, and finding any pants that bunch up with extra material is like hitting the jackpot. My sis and I still call each other when we find a brand that runs long. (Long arms too....my mom used to look for extra material inside the sleeves of coats, in order to "let them down". ) That Bates bride is stunning and I love the on-trend mega-bouquet. These girls do their Pinterest homework!

Morning light? My first thought was that he was playing with some artifacts below deck on an old pirate ship.

Went to check on some recent pix of him.....he's pretty damn hot IMHO, especially for a Fundie guy. I think it's just that pic. Bates girls sure know how to do footwear....and kind of slutty footwear at that.

Jessa Blessa must be sneak-watching "This Is Us", because that's how they market every episode. Verbatim.

JB must be the chaperone....after all, Anna has to take the Mkids to the bathroom, and that's a lot of alone time for Joshley and his Iphone. .....like Joshley's favorite porn star.

But it looks like her curls are real and not permed in, so she goes up about fifty points for that. Maybe they are selling to the Amish market. I don't mind the reclaimed wood.....it'll be in style for about 5 more minutes, but easy enough to cover up. As for grey....that's what is selling right now!!! Everything is grey for new builds and resale. White cabinets and grey walls....I single-handedly blame Joanna Gaines.

See? Jinge finally got her CITY in spite of Mullet. Now, Babes? Take that stupid headwrap/bow off that poor little newborn. Those things are devices of torture and should be banned. ((The Babes' baby is my birthday mate....met 3 people in my life with the same birthday. Highly uncommon.))

Sadly, she probably won't ever be in a class.

But they don't cook, so why would they think of that! It's funny...they're so old-fashioned in everything and claim to not watch TV. But when it has the scent of money on it, they're up to date for resale and obviously have watched some HGTV. I think they now twist that and rationalize that watching on an Ipad doesn't count.

Nope, super dangerous. My kids were barefoot most of the time also, but never around machinery or outdoor equipment. Especially if that's where Bin is spending most of his time, so he's always there to assist him.

OMG....CRINGE ALERT !!!!! Spurgie running around and climbing on outdoor equipment with BARE FEET! All kinds of places to get his feet stuck or worse as he climbs ....aaannnd old wood lying around on the ground. Cue Jessa's defense in 5....4....3....2....

Is Jill wearing jean shorts (again)? Are those her new "look"? Wow, sleeveless, only one modesty insert, and a pierced nose (that is a piercing, right? or a wart?). Best news is: hair off her face. And they all look clean.

My first thought was : Pay attention! We all know you're horny, but you're piloting a plane, for god's sake! What a beautiful view from up there! Lucky Abbie, if she lives, to go anywhere she wants when she wants. So the scruffy V-bro and Jana, huh? Hmmm....not looking like a match to me. He seems too worldly. She seems so mousey.

While I find it cool that the kids got to go to ANY kind of extracurricular activity, it still bugs that it had to be "Sewing Camp" for the girls. And the projects look so Fundie...aprons and potholders. The pic of the Mkid wearing the cotton dress and apron and holding her kitchen linens looked straight out of the 1950s. The Jkid just looked happy to be off the compound and maybe keep her own things. I wonder how these kids feel when they see other kids wearing cut-off jean shorts and they're in dopey dresses? Bet Jackson didn't get signed up. He's probably at Junior Alert for the 10th time.

To my mom-of-boys eyes, it looked more like he was trying to "gift" him with the ball he knew was flat. They won't. And super boring.

Wow. Jessa and Bin really, really don't want to support themselves with actual careers.

Wow, they're dropping like flies. No Anna. No Jill. They (JB) stuck Kendra in there so the viewers won't know the count is off. They don't look like any fun at all. And again: scissors needed. For the hair and for the raggy infinity scarf. Aaaand , are they (JB) trying to hide the pregnant bellies to draw in more mainstream viewers......or to keep the suspense going? Neither are working. Jessa is still trying way harder than anyone else to make this happen. Joy looks like a cartoon character. The deranged sidekick.

But then put a modesty layer under her T-shirt. Which did not need it. Ugh. ((The Duggars have made me detest the sight of camisoles.)) She looks just like Jana, back in her home perm days. A little bit creepy that she's JD's chosen one. Although, she was probably chosen by JB, and JB likes creepy.

I like her sandals. ((Yes...Chacos)) But more importantly, is she wearing Dirty Dancing-style jean shorts? Her boobs are unfortunate. Once they start looking like Mullet's, there's no going back. Ugh.
