I sincerely hope they are not paying Darcey and Jesse. If that's the case, then they should be penalized.

The court ruled in Mo's favor because Dani neglected to tell him about her shaky financial status. He could prove that the reason he left her was because they were living in abject poverty. Mo and Dani were scamming each other. He just happened to come out on top.

That exchange made me misty eyed. I love a man that loves his woman. The editors seem to get a kick out of comparing and contrasting Jinger's and Joy's lives. They tend to go directly from the Vuolos to the Forsyths. We get it. One has a nice home and a doting husband and the other is literally bare foot and pregnant with a husband who doesn't seem to give a damn. I sincerely hope Austin is going to bumpers in the baby's crib.

What kills me is that Jessa likes to complain that she had the longest "getting to know you" and "courtship". I wish someone would tell her this was most likely due to the fact that her "intended" was only 17 years old.

Michael’s, “her stature is bigger and she looks older than her picture”, reminded me of Azan’s “Nicole is a little bit big.”

Three times? Go Angela!

I wish someone would point out to Angela that the reason people are looking at her is because she is a white woman, in a black neighborhood, being followed by a camera crew.

So now sweet Lucy isn't allowed to gurgle? What an arse!

I don't believe your daughter and Karine are in the same situation. " Desperate times call for desperate measures." Poor Karine!

Melissa actually exists. And, she is gorgeous.

Angela would have us believe that the only reason she doesn't want to stay with Michael's mom is because his mom is a Christian. Alrighty then.

Hazel looks like Angelina Jolie's younger, flat nosed, not as attractive sister.

I believe it was the other way around. From what I heard, a lot of guys were interesting in courting Jessa, but Ben was the one she chose. Mrs. Seewald said that when Ben told her he was interested in Jessa, she told him he didn't stand a chance, because she just knew a lot of guys were beating down her door. I am still wondering why a 20 year old woman would choose to be with a 17 year old boy. Don't get me wrong; I like Ben, but if she could have her pick, I wonder why she picked him.

Jessa more so than her siblings, seems keenly aware of how her family is perceived. There were times when she actually appeared embarrassed to be part of this dog and pony show. Her courtship, engagement and wedding are good examples. Unfortunately, we don't get to choose the family we were born into, and this is the hand she was dealt. After becoming a mother, she seems even more resigned to her fate. I wish much like Alyssa Bates and Jinger, she would show some independence and make a run for it.

It broke my heart to see the look on Michael's face when Erin was holding her third child. I find it interesting that Erin allows the camera to follow her during labor and to be in the room while she gives birth. Her motto also seems to be the more people around, the merrier. Alyssa on the other hand, doesn't even want her mother in the hospital/birth center until after she's delivered.

Jennifer never smiles. Which is a shame, because she is such a pretty girl. I noticed that she doesn't do THs. She and Jessa seem to have the same temperament. Only now, Jessa has to fake being upbeat and cheery for a living.

Why the eff is Becca there? I can’t remember any of the other Bachelor/ettes visiting paradise. Colton should leave. They know he is still raw and are clearly using him for the drama. I liked how the guys from Becca’s season just basically ignored her.

I believe they can find 80 minutes or more of original content; they are just being greedy. Given the viewership for other TLC shows like "Counting On - The Duggars" and "Out Daughtered", clearly, the revenue from this show is what's keeping TLC afloat. They've struck gold. Hence, all the different variations. However, 24 minutes of commercials per hour is a bit much. They should probably take heed of "The Tale of the Golden Goose."

I am convinced that not only have they met before, but that Lucy is his biological daughter and that they are pulling a scam on TLC.

Angela and Rachel have real good filters on their phones, because they look nothing like their picture.

I don't think $37.50 a month for waxing is excessive. Laser is more common and cost a heck of a lot more. The $150 per month for eyelashes is just plain lunacy. There are a lot of mascaras that can do the trick. For example, Clinique high impact from Sephora is $19. It works really well and lasts about six weeks.

The contrast between Joy’s life and Jinger’s was quite jarring. One was shown dining on fine china and attending a gala. The other practically sleeps on the floor, walks among nails while wearing sandals, gets splinters (taken out by a huge knife) and lives on chicken nuggets. Six years ago, I don’t think anyone would have predicted that Jinger would marry an arguably handsome “preacher” and have such a seemingly good and comfortable life. I would have bet good money on this being the fate of Princess Erin Bates and “hot” Duggar girl, Jessa.

Given the amount of people vying for spots, the invasion of privacy and harsh criticisms, it has to be more than the $1,000 per episode that is being bandied about.

scratching head.

Darcy, for future reference, that was Shea stadium; home of the New York Mets. I see Darcy has "changed", but Jesse hasn't. He is still an arse. I find it interesting that every season we get a participant from Ohio and Kentucky. Wonder why.
