Agree. The last 6 winners have had zero "it" factor. None. And you could throw in season 2 also. So I'll clarify......... if I voted at all, I would vote for Riley. My first and last (1) vote was for Bo Bice. LOL (Back when I thought my one vote mattered.)

That's never stopped a lot of contestants on this show. Phillip Philips being the prime example. That Keith Urban Jr kid looks like the next boy-bandy winner. Feels like he wandered away from the One Direction photo shoot. If I were 12, I would probably vote for him. But I'm not, so I won't.

Nope, not agreeing. After I saw Jill and Jessa try on the 'mermaid' type gowns, I think they are what they call (at my gym) 'skinny-fat". They have the scrawny upper-body and then the doughy hips and thighs, probably from lack of exercise. Now that they're wearing shorter skirts, I see that their legs don't look that small either. I know the TV adds 10 lbs, or so they say, but they are still small pears. That being said, Jessa picked the perfect gown for her. I thought it was beautiful. Style, color, everything. And I bet she chose it herself, without all the fake input from the womenfolk. Bet she just took Jinger when she really bought it.

OK, show, how stupid do you think we are? Jessa "shopping " for a wedding dress was the biggest wad of wool that's ever been pulled over our eyes. When she arrived at the shop, her (previously chosen and ordered and altered) dress just happened to be hanging on the "modest" rack. Then she tried on some shop-worn and ill-fitting decoy dresses, with the clips holding them together. Then she comes out with the perfectly fitting and brand-spanking-new blush gown and everyone pronounces it 'the one'. Not an alteration to be made!!! Imagine that. Egad....and to think JB and Mullet and TLC made them all haul themselves in there for that nonsense. And, funny, there were no other customers. Hopefully, the shop didn't have to close for long, since she was really just there to pick up her previously ordered and altered dress. My countenance was being defrauded by all the fakery. And also: whoever that kid is that gets teamed up with Josie in the talking heads....so sad that she has to imitate the way Josie speaks and acts to get attention for herself.

This episode made my skin itch. The good: The return of Dylan....however, only briefly. Alex looking beautiful. Mitchell's Yentl hat. Lily being a better actress than most of the cast, and that's not saying much. The popcorn, which I wanted to eat. Luke's Mohawk. The stunningly stupid: Haley would never , in a million years, have her phone out of her possession for more than 30 seconds. A workplace purchase (the pregnancy book) would never be ordered in Haley's name nor delivered to her house. The bad: Everything else about this episode.

Did anyone else note that Derick said (in the preview that aired 80,000 times), "The pregnancy test was positive YESTERDAY." (sic) Which makes me think that she must've been doing one every single day since they were married. Is this how these fundies live???? If so, ugh.

I was only half-watching, so I heard "anthropology"in the background, and said to myself "OMG, now Robyn thinks she's going to start selling her crappy stuff at Anthropologie (the store)?" LOL Then I flicked to the Grammys and came back to all 600 of them traipsing into a movie theater, and Kody can't count heads at all, and then all of them load up on buttered popcorn, candy, and soda, and waddle their pre-diabetic asses to their seats. Gag. Back to Grammys. Next. Now they're conniving up some middle school plot to feed Kody while giggling incessantly, and throwing off the students' data. Cute. Back to more carb consumption......some kind of backyard s'mores festival. Boring. Did I miss Meri wiping her eye goo and then analyzing it, Janelle storming off, Christine planning a party, and Robyn quiver-lipping about some injustice? Was there ever a conclusion on what the students thought ???? Geez.

I love the last line of that letter..... "I love YOUR more than fondest words and fair speech can express." So he loves her WHAT ? Ass? Boobs? And "fondest words" ? "Fair speech" ? Really? Did he use a thesaurus, grade 3 edition? So hilarious.

That plot was done on The Middle many seasons ago....and done way funnier. What happened to this show? The acting, except for maybe Phil and his dad, seems like they're reading off cue-cards for the first time. I can almost smell the Sharpie ink through the TV.

Yes....this. I wonder how JLo is going to react when she's no longer the prettiest in the room. LOL And let's hope that HCjr and AL break into some kind of spontaneous musical number which excludes her because she can't , you know, actually SING. Loved banjo girl. Roaming-the-countryside guy kinda reminded me of Crystal Bowersox in concept. Deaf-parents girl could not sing at all....she was just brought in for heartstring tugging duty. She also looked 12. Family was adorable though.

Can I pre-squee here about Adam Lambert being a guest judge? Damn you, show, for pulling me back in.

I was more distracted by the fact that the shirt was made of stretchy material, had a v-neck, and there was no additional layer underneath. Wow. It actually looked like an old hanging-around beaten-up t-shirt that happened to fit. Geez, what am I saying ????.... that describes every Duggar shirt .

OMG....did I miss someone mumbling, shuffling, and grimacing? Dang.

Sooooooooo sleep-inducing. They better have some good ones hiding in the wings. It's really pathetic when someone 28 seems old. No baby-girl voices. It's annoying. Those judges had no idea if someone was "back' from a previous year until they read it off the script in front of them. No more contestants with self-proclaimed "bubbly personalities". They should be eliminated as soon as they announce it.

I loved Cy and her guy, but the top of that dress looked like a breastplate from a suit of armor ...there was something odd about how high up it went. She spent nearly $8000. (I think) and that's what they came up with? I didn't catch it in the wedding shot. I was too busy looking at the 8 (!!!!) adorable boys, and thinking how that $8000. could sure help with some college tuition. Or just feeding them all. Sometimes it seems like the consultants spend a certain amount of time on a bride, and then when she goes over the allotted time or becomes indecisive, they bring out the sparkly belt and the veil and Randy to convince her that that she's gotta "Say Yes to the Dress". I think crying bride was there for her 15 minutes of fame, and had no intention of ever buying a dress at Kleinfeld's. That was just her way out when the pressure (see above^^) was turned on.

I wanted to start a drinking game for every time the bride called herself "petite"....then Kelly started to do it too. First of all, petite departments are for SHORT people....my friend wears a size 16 and shops in petites because she's SHORT. The bride was standing next to Sam, and was clearly taller than him, and her mom's dress was too short on her also. If they meant 'flat-chested", then yeah. Otherwise, she acted like she was the tiniest bride who had ever walked the earth. Seriously now. TLC also airs 'The Little Couple', and Jenn is what I would call tiny. Did anyone else notice that the borrowed dress had flitty sleeves that she then removed for her actual wedding? It was a little better, but all these 'borrowed' dresses look like when my cousins and I cut up all my aunt's old slips and white blouses and made doll clothes when I was 8. "Fifty Shades of White" is what this show should be called. I love Sam...I'm sure he doesn't select the dresses on his own, but he just seems like the most pleasant, drama-free person. Free Sam from this crap-tastic mess, TLC.....give him a better gig, please. ETA: OMG, I completely forget about that moronic aunt who was fixated on a Pippa Middleton butt. First of all (rant coming)....Pippa Middleton's ass is not all that....her bridesmaid's dress was slim-cut, with buttons down the back or something, and the media started a stupid focus on it , for lack of anything else to say about her. So annoying.

Scoop-neck top with no layering. Pencil skirt....can't see the length. I think we should keep track of her necklines and hemlines. Someone could graph the progress. Necklines going down and hemlines going up. They do look very cute. Paris???? I'm jealous!

I finally slogged my way to the end of this....some thoughts....... Derick has cute dimples...it's the top teeth that don't line up at the bottom edges that make him look like a jack-o-lantern. JB is skeevy to the nth degree. I'm waiting for Ben to say, "Life is like a box of chocolates....." Also: He needs to blow his nose or have his adenoids removed or something. I finally realized who Jill reminds me of....put her in a gauzy top (yeah, right) , a pair of hip-hugger jeans (haha), keep the bare feet, keep the free-flowing hair, hand her a guitar (she does have one, right?)....and you have Sheryl Crow, Jr. !!!!!!

But the girls in the family did. I'm wondering if the hand-holding mix-up was because they were already engaged and this was a reenactment and suddenly Mullet remembered that they weren't supposed to be engaged yet, and Jessa just said " F-U" and stayed with it. LOL. I think I love Jessa more every day. And yes, she was wearing a black bra...to go with the dark (navy? black?) dress that she knew she would be changing into and had probably picked out. This show is sooooooo fakey-fake.

Of course she is.......she's been married 6 days.

Flats???? The Bates sisters (at least the blonde ones) wear Kardashian-level stilettos....and they totally rock them. The bridesmaids dresses, while still 1000 x better than the dresses for Jill's wedding, were still not the greatest....but at least they weren't modesty-altered into fug-dom. All the shoes look awful. Jessa's gown was gorgeous, however.....maybe she planned it that way. Anna's shoes were cute, but for the love of god, does she always have to stand pigeon-toed? And speaking of her bad self, did she get Invisaline braces in the past few years? Mullet's dress looks on the low side of average, which is also 1000x better than her silver cocoon, but the shoes.......really??? These girls slap these weddings together in a few months ...but what else are they doing???? So in real person time , it's years. And this is the result?

I think all this "Poor Hard-working Put-upon Jana" stuff is contrived editing by JB...he's clearly trying to "sell" Jana to a fundie guy. I know...ick. I'd bet she's had suitors, but he's rejected them all. The other 2 guys for Jill and Jessa came forth because of the show......Derick was probably searching for a pure girl near his age and Ben had the hots for Jessa because of TV. JB is not very imaginative. He's going to use the same method right down the line. Poor Jinger...she's next.

Whoa. That little vixen is wearing a layerless v-neck top and it looks like Ben is wearing a tank top. If JB and Michelle were surprised that they decided not to kiss on the altar, then they weren't monitoring her conversations very well....weren't they supposed to listen to every word, screen the texts, and be in on every interaction? I've been liking Sassy-Pants more each day since the wedding....hope she comes back wearing skinny jeans.

I was only half watching....did Josie sing the Star Spangled Banner, or did I dream it? If so, my theory about the mix-up at the fertility clinic and her being the bio-spawn of Art Garfunkel is true.

I thought they were going to rat her out about sneaking out early to go "visit" him in his bachelor pad. Love it. You know that no kid in that house gets up early enough to chaperone. That was some outfit she had on......a tight blouse tucked into a hip-hugger skirt with a hip belt. She is SO on the internet 24/7. And her skirts never go longer than her knees anymore (unless it's a styin' maxi-skirt). All the girls had on their bridesmaids shoes at one point or another......they even looked too casual for clomping around the countryside. Loved that Ben blatantly wore shorts. I still think JB caved on this wedding to stop her from screwing and/or running away and/or eloping.
