  1. She [Janelle] also had the benefit of being sister-in-law to Meri, and should have known Meri was difficult. This leads me to believe that Janelle really did have the hots for Kody.

     

    I don’t think there is any doubt that Janelle had and still has the hots for Kody.  I wouldn’t be surprised if her feelings for him had something to do with the demise of her first marriage.  It could also be one of the reasons why Mary was so nasty to her. 

     

    I think Janelle is the only one he sees as an equal and true partner.

     

    This may sound crazy, but I believe if Kody had to choose a wife to live in a monogamous relationship, it would be Janelle.  He seems to actually like and respect her and she appears to be madly in love with him.

  2. I don’t know how Robyn could stand there with a straight face and declare that being a sister wife is so rewarding, when Janelle seems to hate her with every fiber of her being and doesn’t appear to acknowledge her existence.

  3. I agree with Kody.  He doesn’t seem to be in charge of the family and viewers have been saying this from Day One. To me, it seems as if Meri is in charge, much to Janelle’s dismay.  For example, on last week’s episode, when Meri broached the subject of going back to school, Kody made a point of saying that he knew that she was telling him not asking him.  I believe the only reason they “followed” him to Las Vegas was because they had to leave Utah.  I have a feeling they were threatened with being brought up on charges for welfare, bankruptcy and income tax frauds, just to name a few.

     

    What I wouldn’t give to see them on the real Shark Tank.  I think I saw fumes coming out of Janelle's ears when Kody said Robyn was their company’s CFO.  Heh!

  4. In the first season, they contrasted Janelle feeding the children cheap Aldi garbage, while Meri is upstairs preparing herself more pricey and healthier food.

     

    It was Christine who prepared a fat and sodium laden meal for her family and Janelle’s, while Meri dined on chicken breast, wild rice and asparagus.  I remember this clearly, because posters on TWOP went ballastic.

  5. Meri is the first one to show any signs of breaking out and being her own person. I thought Janelle was going to do it with real estate, but didn't we learn that she really doesn't work?

     

    Meri has always been her own person.  She is a selfish woman who has never been for anyone but herself and her spoiled, unattractive daughter.  Good thing Kody had broodmares.  Janelle is currently working for a real estate company.

  6. I don't think Dayton bugs Kody. He mentioned that they were very close, and in some ways closer than he is to his biological sons. I think they have a good relationship.

     

    I’ve noticed that at times, Dayton seeks out Kody just to give him a hug. This caught my attention because it’s not something I’ve seen his biological sons do.  I don’t think it’s a secret that Kody and Hunter do not get along, Paedon and Gabrielle appear to keep their distance and Logan is rarely around these days.

  7. What I found interesting was Kody admitting that he and Janelle were in a pragmatic relationship, but now it’s romantic.  I’ve always felt their “union” was for religious reasons only.  I believe Janelle always had romantic feelings for Kody, but the feeling wasn’t mutual.  Wish I were a fly on the wall when Meri and Robyn heard that comment.

  8.  When DeAnna decided to have an impromptu barbecue/pool party, the guys ignored her (especially Graham). She went berserk and told them that if they didn't feel like being there then they should just get the eff out, (which I am sure didn't make her more endearing to him).  After viewers complained, Chris H. sat her down and basically made her apologize.  Funny how he didn't have a sit down with Emily when she went "West Virginia backwoods hood rat" first on Kalon and later on Arie.

  9. I agree that the sit down with Andi & Chris felt like a reputation repair.

     

     

     

    The only other time Chris had to have a sit down "reputation repair" with a Bachelorette, she was also from Georgia.  It must be something in the water.

  10. Based on her father's conversation with Juan Pablo, it seems that Andi  has been raised to believe she is a special snowflake.  So, when anyone challenges Daddy's Princess, or fails to see how wonderful she is, it gets up her dander.  I feel sorry for the poor guy who ends up with her.

  11. When they broke up it was done via a joint statement do it wasn't a public dumping.

     

     

     

    In my humble opinion, when a guy tells you that he doesn't want to marry you two months before the wedding date, and then proceeds to proclaim on national television that he is happy to be single again, that is a humiliating, public dumping.  Again just my opinion.

  12. It's like JB is out stalking the online prayer circuit trying to find husbands for the J'Slaves.

     

     

    I don't believe this to be the case, because last September, Jim Bob told People magazine that he gets a lot of courtships request for his older daughters, but with the exception of Ben the guys were unsuitable.

  13. Considering that Jill and Derick aren't even allowed to hold hands, the three months courtship probably felt like a lifetime.  At one point, they looked as if they wanted to kiss.   Had they been allowed to "date" like normal people, I don't think they would be rushing to the altar.  I am surprised that there weren't any "Bin" sightings.  And given that Jessa was so adamantly about not trying on a wedding dress, I have a feeling they've hit a speed bump.

  14. I like Jill and Derick.  And I liked that he asked for Jinger and JoyAnna to go along as chaperones.

     

    Actually, the chaperones were Jana and JoyAnna.  I thought it interesting that Derick said he specifically asked for those two.

  15. Andi shouldn’t get her hopes up about Dancing with the Stars.  I find it interesting that while the show tends to extend an invitation to the Bachelor, they don’t to the Bachelorette.  Keep in mind that Melissa Rycroft was not a Bachelorette, but rather, a contestant on the Bachelor.  As a matter of fact, the only Bachelorette that was accorded an invitation was Trista, and she has the dubious honor of being the first “celebrity” ever eliminated from the show.

  16. And to whomever's credit, I'm no Bachelor(ette) historian but I don't remember a non-white contestant hanging in for 4 episodes, even when there was more than one. So kudos on the PC'ness.

     

     

    During Englishman Matt’s season, an African-American bachelorette made it to the final six.  I remember being disappointed that she didn’t get a hometown visit, because I wanted Matt to visit Brooklyn. And given that we’ve had arguably a “Hispanic” Bachelor, Juan Pablo and winners that were Hispanic (Roberto) and Asian (Catherine), I don’t think they feel a need to be politically correct.  However, one could argue that the main reason they picked Grumpy Cat, (love that) is because they wanted a Jewish Bachelorette.

     

    When it comes to the Bachelorettes chasing fame, I think Ali and Trista are the absolute worst.  As for Meredith disappearing off the scene, I believe this was due to her being embarrassed after being dumped by Ian in such a rude, public manner.  By her own admission, she was so humiliated that she turned to the bottle for solace.

  17. My sister and I have different opinions as to what went down between Andi and Eric.  She thinks that Eric was an egotistical blowhard, who couldn’t handle the fact that she wasn’t falling over him.  She believes that he got upset when he found out that she’d  kiss some of the other guys, when they hadn’t so much as held hands.  I think Eric was trying to explain to Andi that he’s seen her being authentic, so he could tell when she was putting on an act.  Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication, she took offense to being called “fake” and all hell broke loose. He was accusing her of doing to him what she did to Juan Pablo.  I believe there was a huge blowout, but because of Eric’s untimely passing, they decided not to show it.

     

    I can't see her picking, I just don't see "Iowa farmer" on her wish list. That said, I think Chris seems like one of the nicest, most genuine, most mature men there.

     

    I can't see her picking Chris either, and it will be her loss, because he seems like a kind and decent guy.  I know he'd be in my final two, atleast.

  18. So that's what happened. I was wondering why Eric received the first one-on-one date and got cut so early. Like others said, he had valid points, but he was unable to communicate them effectively. Andi made it seem as if it was her idea for him to leave, but from my point of view, seems he elected to leave. Andi is a spoiled, entitled drama queen. She is going to make some poor guy very unhappy.

  19. Last September when the Duggars announced that Jessa is in a courtship, Jim Bob told People magazine that guys approach him all the time with requests to court his older daughters.  He said that so far, only Ben has made the cut.  I have a feeling they've been rejecting potential "Suitors" for Jana.  They either didn't meet the requirement of "spiritual focus and legitimate calling about ministry work," or she wasn't interested.

  20. Michelle seems more than enamored with Ben and not in a he's great for my daughter kind of way.  He's the man of her teenage dreams.

     

     

     

    I think it's because Ben is more personable, plus she has known him longer.  Derick appears to be a great guy, but he seems reserved.  The brothers on the other hand, seem to have the utter most respect for Derick, but none for Ben.

  21. Derick seems to be universally loved and preferred over Bin (can someone tell me why people are spelling it with an "i'?) but I actually find Derick kind of flat and boring and Ben seems to have more of a fun personality to me.  I also dont' think Derick is very attractive.

     

    People are spelling Ben as “Bin” because that’s the way the Duggars pronounce his name.  Viewers probably love and prefer Derick over Ben, because most seem to like Jill more than Jessa.  Actually, I prefer Ben.  I think he is extremely handsome and he comes across as amiable and sociable.  And, he is clearly head over heels for Jessa.  If I didn’t know he was 18 years old, I’d think him 22.  The Duggar boys, especially Joseph, don’t appear to like Ben.  They seem to rag on him every chance they get.  I wonder if it is because they are extra protective of Princess Jessa  or just plain jealous.  Derick reminds me of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, and that is not a good thing.

  22. I also think he [Chris] looks a lot like Matthew McConaughey, especially when he smiles. If he grew his hair out they could definitely pass for brothers!

     

    Chris does bear a striking resemblance to a heavier Matthew McC.  He is so much fun to look at.   I hope he is around for awhile.  Marquel is either color blind or has no sense of style.  Given the timeline of the show, it's not a spoiler that Eric was eliminated fairly early after receiving the first one-on-one. I can't help but wonder what went wrong between them, so quickly.
