You and I share a brain. That was my first thought as well. Tozer sounds like that guy in high school who could get the good weed. If Jessa thinks her umpteenth pregnancy is going to distract from that quote from Jill's book, she is crazy. JB physically threatening Jill and Jill calling the felon a pedophile is not something anything can distract from. Though I do like the idea of a baby being fathered by JRod's microphone demon.

Nothing is going to divert attention if the excerpt from the book is any indication.

Ah yes, the Bert and Ernie bedroom. Still makes me laugh. When some of you said this place was below Massilon, I didn't think that was possible. I stand corrected. how does Jill find these creepy places? You know she found it and sent him there. Why was Massilon abandoned? One thing that stands out to me about that awful bedroom for the boys is that I would worry that that bunk bed was going to collapse. Even those emaciated kids are probably too heavy for that top bunk. And how does whoever has the misfortune to sleep in it get in there? Does the crib rail flip down or something?

People do strange things in abuse situations and I do believe Kody is an abusive father. Maybe not physically, but definitely emotionally. Mykelti was very vulnerable when she was a young teenager and had some problems in the family and Robyn took her in. Robyn preyed on her vulnerability and got a free nanny and a lifelong devotee in return. And once again Kody gets a pass on Mykelti getting excluded form the family and all the blame falls on Christine. Even though the shunning came from Kody over whatever petty thing he was bent out of shape about.

I think the Sun reads here and on Reddit and cobbles stories together from that. That being said, I have believed for a while that Kody was not as accepting of Leon as he appeared on camera. I don't believe for a second that there was any TLC contractual obligation around that, Kody knew that if he expressed his true feelings, the show would lose its main audience. Not only did Leon come out as a lesbian originally, but they had several piercings and we all know how Kody feels about those (unless they are on Robyn or her kids). Then they came out as trans and Kody was probably very vocal off camera about that. I doubt the Sun quote is accurate, but it is pretty easy for any of us to make up things Kody says because he is totally predictable. I also thought originally that Gwen offered to have her wedding filmed and TLC declined. Not sure where I heard that, but somehow that got into my brain.

Wow, this was uncomfortable to watch. I can't believe the crew was there filming that argument. Things I noticed: So, was Kody going to see his man buddies in person all throughout COVID? What about his precious protoculls? All of them are idiots, but I think some of them are starting to see through him. Robyn threw in a justification for needing the nanny. She claimed Kody was gone so much she just had to have child care help. So was he gone during COVID? And however did Christine cope with homeschooling way more kids as well as working a night job? She never had a nanny, so why does Sobbyn need one? I felt so bad for Meri even though she has brought some of this on herself. She was in a lose-lose situation regarding Christmas Eve. Kody wasn't going to say he didn't want Janelle or her kids there, he was going to make her the bad guy. I could see him then running to Janelle and Christine and saying Meri didn't want to invite anyone for Christmas Eve. He and Robyn are a perfect match. And Meri was pretty insightful in her TH where she referenced that her house was just her house while Robyn's house was Kody and Robyn's house. By the time that was filmed, she knew the score and was done. Though whoever did hair and makeup should be fired for letting that huge piece of hair stick out during Meri's THs. I really hope Janelle has been able to get some financial settlement. I really felt bad for her when the full realization hit her that she was financially screwed. I loved that she pointed out that Robyn had her house and she was finally realizing that no building was ever going to take place on that barren land. I did have respect for her that she acknowledged that she was partly responsible because she let it happen. She didn't play the victim like Kody and Robyn constantly do. The argument was heartbreaking for Janelle. I think she is one of those people who stuffs the anger down and finally something just causes it to explode. I was glad the crew had enough respect to turn off the camera after Kody left instead of filming her breaking down. That would have been a lousy thing to do. Kody and the drinking hot water was just bizarre. Is being excessively cold another symptom of overuse of steroids? Because I think that is part of why he is acting the way he does. And his pony tail made him look like Gidget. Would someone please take away Kody's word a day calendar? This time around we had culpable repeated endlessly and then collude. I really appreciated that Meri actually came to Janelle's defense on that one. Kody will never face the fact that he alone ruined the relationships with his kids and their mothers had very little to do with it. I think it's interesting that we are getting a lot of behind the scenes info that they watch the show and have heard what is said in the TH interviews. I think that was what pushed Janelle over the edge because Kody not only badmouthed her, but also her children. If I were a parent and someone said the things he said about her boys, it would be on. I'd have the scissors out to cut off that Gidget pony tail. I don't care about other people, but Kody made such a big deal about trying to protect everyone, then chose not to do the one simple thing that would have protected the whole family. They have chosen to spill their private lives all over TV, so we get to comment on them. The choices of people not on TV are none of my business.

Not only that, but he clearly made an obscene gesture directed at her in a public place. The mother of 6 of his kids. Some moral exemplar there. Things I noticed: Christine was giving him nothing in the lunch scene. You could see his anger mounting because nothing he was doing was getting under her skin. When he suggested counseling, she said she was all for it. You could see on his face that he was pissed. I loved how she said in the TH that she knew he wasn't going to do any counseling. I'm getting ln line for wanting to know what was said on that group chat. While they did tell the parents about the gift exchange, that wasn't an invitation for Robyn to come in and start stirring the pot. It sounded like she wanted a Zoom call right then and there to organize everything (and stick her nose in), but in all likelihood, several of the participants were not in a position to get on a Zoom call while they could send a quick message in chat. Of course when everyone didn't immediately jump to do what she wanted, she started playing the victim and saying they didn't love her or her children. I suspect some of them had enough of her at that point and the gloves came off. I also wonder what Gwen said that escalated things. Either way, it must have been bad because Christine was not optimistic that everyone could work things out. I was puzzled by Christine's reaction to Paedon's remark about Kody and Robyn's immune systems. I thought she was being ridiculous saying that they were sicker than most people. I have a friend whose father was in the hospital on a ventilator for 11 days. That is being sicker than most people, not Kody's ass pain. Plus, given her recent behavior on social media, that scene has not aged well for her. A lot has been said about the silly ear piercing. It's just creepy not to mention lousy of Kody that he wouldn't show the slightest bit of support for Ysabel yet acts like it's a big dill that Aurora needs her fake dad to get her ears pierced. I liked Janelle's little Christmas tree. I also think the Thanksgiving celebrations with Janelle and Christine looked like fun while the one at Robyn's looked depressing. So, was the local bordello having a yard sale and Robyn's pick was that bed? That thing was tacky.

And this is the real point. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. Kody is really angry because his kids don't even give him a thought, not because they hate him.

If Kody is humble, I'm Cindy Crawford. It's sad if true that Mykelti thinks she has a good relationship with Kody just because he doesn't treat her with disdain. It's sad when things are so bad, that mediocre efforts look good.

At least at Gwen's wedding Meri and Leon looked pretty happy together. So whatever happened, it doesn't sound like Meri was purposely excluded. She may have understood that they were tired of waiting and just sent in the paperwork and got it done. It could also be that they wanted the legal protection in case one of them needs to be hospitalized.

I have no problem with Christine striking while the iron is hot even if I think some of what she is hawking is unethical. As stated, no one is forced to buy anything she is selling. I do however take issue with her asking for wedding sponsors. No matter who did that, I would think it was tacky. Pay for your own wedding and have the wedding you can afford. You will be married at the end either way.

I thought the only golfing Evan did was at Top Golf. BTW it amuses me that these fundies are so obsessed with Top Golf. The first I ever heard of it was a story talking about how many people go there, get drunk and hit golf balls all over the place of just fall over while attempting to golf. Golf clubs aren't cheap. My brother who had a real job in an accounting firm had a used set for years before he spent money on a brand new set. Evan of course has no job and will probably lose interest in the clubs after a few weeks just like the outdoor griddle he just had to have. I think the only reason he hasn't lost interest in the Tesla is because it is a status symbol. Regarding their trip to Dollywood, not sure what the weather is like there, but here it has been brutally hot. Poor Layla must have been miserable.

As if we needed any more proof that JillR is reading here and on Reddit, she now references the chair in the bathroom where she does her recording. I an waiting to hear how persecuted she was on the cruise because they wouldn't let her swim in the pool in her street clothes that she insists are modest swimwear. No one wants the pool closed because she clogged up the filter. The one good thing is that DBD will be able to eat himself into s stupor at the buffet. I've been on RC once and skipped the stop in Labadee because I didn't expect it to measure up to Holland America's private island Half Moon Cay. That place is amazing. You can swim or just walk along the crescent shaped beach. They also have all kinds of water activities and serve a nice lunch on the island that is included in the cruise price. Not sure if RC does the same on Labadee. It sounds like Plexus has some sort of evening activity that is not an actual meal. I guess people can go to the dining room and have dinner before or after the event. So, DBD won't go hungry. Of course her poor kids will as usual.

I think Timbits might have had at least a little ambition in the beginning. I suspect when JRod was yammering on about his dream of being a missionary pilot some sweet friend suggested that Moody was the place to go for that sort of training. He would get all the religious and pilot training in one place and be set. He latched on to that, but BME was not going to have one of her offspring so far away from her. The only reason she tolerated that with Nurie was because Nurie was marrying Anna DUGGAR's brother. But with Tim, she did everything she could to sabotage him including keeping the info about the cost from him so he would find out in the most painful way possible. Also, she made sure he was really worked up over which Bible they used. All of this kept him distracted from realizing that his homeschool education was worthless. He tried again in Wisconsin, but she scuttled that too. She had a little help from the pandemic, but I am sure she was pressuring him to come home then as well. Now, here he is with a house not far from Mamho which will be filled to the brim with junk and probably a giant picture of Jill over their bed. Tim creeps me out, but I do feel sorry for him.

You know, I have low vision and so I have to pay for a lot of things that most people take for granted that they are able to do. My mother is in her 80s and has no desire to get up on a ladder to hang a curtain rod and has arthritis in her fingers, so the things she used to be able to do aren't possible anymore. Both of us would kill for a good reliable handyman. And neither of us are rubes or lazy. I don't know if Chad thinks those jobs are beneath him or if he just doesn't know how to market himself. Even if he is just doing handyman work, I hope he is at least insured. He could make good money doing stuff like that if he was reliable and did a good job.

I'm not a parent, but I am not sure I would want to make it public that my kids would love to move to another state and live with one of my other kid's in-law family. Jeb and Jud are old enough that saying that means something more than it would if they were around five and just had a good time at someone else's house. Gil and Kelly are so clueless that the reason Jeb and Jud want to move there is because they probably get attention and get to be just kids. At leas there they don't have to listen to Gil go on about whatever hateful sermon he is writing or listen to Kelly go on about how busy she is.

Thanks a lot for that image. I am now traumatized for life. 🤢

Wow, they could have at least squeezed Dillard in there as in Jill Duggar Dillard. I understand why they used Duggar because that's how most people would remember her, but I'm surprised Jill would be comfortable with her married name being completely omitted. I wonder if she will get a People photo shoot and show up on some of the tabloid shows like Jinger did.

I keep hoping that this ends the same way as Amy's "calling" to help troubled teenaged girls. She lost interest in that one after about three months. Hopefully Daxxy gets sent to regular preschool next year when she loses interest. With the right teacher, he could have a chance. A friend's nephew grew by leaps and bounds when he went into public school. His parents just parked him in front of screens and didn't interact with him much. In school he got structure and attention and activities to stimulate his brain. I am relieved to know that at least JillD is not allowing Amy to teach her kids. JillD is bad enough.

Well, we did learn a couple things: They are apparently paying the owner of the land and if they don't pay it off in a certain amount of time, the owner can foreclose. I'm not surprised they did it that way because I can't imagine any bank being foolish enough to give them a loan. But I am baffled by anyone else doing it unless they thought they could get a few payments out of them and take the land back. Kody definitely gets man flu. That came as no surprise to me. If he gets sick he's the biggest baby of them all. I admit I was laughing right along with Christine when he started going on about sobbing in the fetal position. What a loon. It looked to me like Christine filmed her own talking heads in Utah since her background looked like somewhere in her house rather than the couch the rest of them filmed on. I loved that she was laughing in the talking heads as well as to his face. It always frustrates me when the wives say something on point in the talking head interviews, but say nothing when they are with him.

I want to clarify my previous post. I understand that Josie having any difficulty was going to freak Kelton out. That's completely understandable given that I doubt he ever fully processed the trauma of his mother's death. My issue was that because he did not understand what happened to his mother he insisted that Josie not get any sort of pain management. Her passing out could have been prevented if he had just expressed his concerns early on and let the medical professionals explain what really happened and that it had nothing to do with the epidural. I hope they have since learned more about what happened and Josie can have a better experience.

Can I just say that that desk and chair look really uncomfortable? There's nothing but hard surfaces and sharp edges. Then she is situated facing a blank wall which is not terribly stimulating. Poor kid. She definitely needs a good pre-K program, but that would cut into her idiot parents budged and activities. Can't have Evan giving up whatever material thing is next on his list or Carlin giving up endless trips to Starbucks and Target. BTW, what will happen to the expensive outdoor griddle now that Evan is tired of it? What's the next expensive new toy he will need to fill up the empty space inside of him?

Ok, obvious question time. Why did Michael need to decorate the house and Ellie need to clean it? Why did the house "desperately" need to be cleaned? Why isn't Kelly doing anything herself except standing around in her ugly denim skirt holding a sign that looks like a six-year-old made it in two minutes? I guess it's something that she actually thanked all the people who did stuff while she and Gil - Isaiah's parents - did nothing except stand around.

So according to @Notabug's excellent explanation, not having an epidural would have made no difference in his mother's situation. It sounds like symptoms present right before things go really pear shaped. The thing I remember Josie saying about Willow's birth was that when she passed out from the pain, she came to only to find Kelton in hysterics over it. So at least one person had to go see to him to calm him down and keep him from possibly passing out when everyone in that room should have been focused on helping her give birth safely. Kelton needs to grow up and get some education.

The fact that the courtship story for Renee has disappeared sounds like pretty conclusive proof that the relationship is over. I can't believe JillR would voluntarily pull all the references to this guy and the courtship off her page if he was still around. Not with the way she was straining at the leash when he told her he wanted his identity kept private. My suspicion is one of two things happened. 1. She was taunting him constantly about how she just might accidentally reveal his identity one of these days and he got sick of it and called the whole thing off. I could see her doing this and thinking she was just so funny and cute when she was really being obnoxious. 2. In addition to expectations of privacy, he was not going to "fall in love" with Ohio and move there like Jonathan did. He cold have made it clear that he and Renee would be setting up housekeeping elsewhere and that was that. JillR would then put a huge amount of pressure on Renee to end the relationship because supposedly Renee would not want to leave BME. I doubt even Renee who seems over this whole mess would be emotionally strong enough to withstand BME's constant onslaught. Either way, JillR is keeping it quiet because unlike her diatribe against Moody when Timbits washed out, she can't figure out a way to spin this that won't blow back on her. Talking publicly about the breakup might also scare off other potential suitors for her kids.
