S10.E06: Baby Number Two, But Who?

[Sew Sumi]

Quote

Joe and Kendra visit Jinger and Jeremy in Texas, where they sample some creepy, crawly appetizers; Jessa seeks help from a speech pathologist as Henry struggles to learn new words; Joy and Austin have a surprise announcement for the family.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Lunera]

Looks boring as hell and such bad acting. 

[Sew Sumi]

The only thing remotely interesting is the speech pathologist. At least Jessa sought out some help.

Bumping in case anyone wants to live snark. Although the raid is far more interesting.

Thoughts and prayers for the Duggars during this difficult time.

Jinger and Joe might be 13 months apart but they are strangers now. Jinger is more alive , has seen and experienced new things, and Joe married and had a son- without really growing.

Usually friends like that wind up getting dropped, as life goes on. Joe mentioned it took 2 years for a visit. But I think the same would have been true if they were in the same town - unless Jeremy needed a handyman.

For the record Kendra- red snapper is sold just about everywhere.

Wow, this episode was a snoozefest (not that that any episodes are exciting.)

I will say this. I was impressed with Jessa and Ben's' concern for little Henry. I don't recall hearing that his lack of communication was Jesus' choice or that praying on it will make it go away.  I am glad they were able to provide him some testing and hope they can stay on top of his delay.

Jeremy and the painting baby. Ugh. What did he think? That putting a baby in paint was not going to be messy? He is such a fuckwad.

I know, for the love of God! 

You could really see the difference between Jinger and Joe. The whole dinner was an example of the gap between them. I give Kendra credit for being a good sport. 

[Abmis]

It sounds like a typical boring episode, but inquiring minds want to know if Joe licked his plate.

[sheshark]

I really liked the interesting and informative hints from JimBoob and Meechelle.  I definitely want to be a good parent, just like them.  Also, so glad someone finally eplained their music choices and it is "jumping for joy" not "jumping for Jesus".  For the longest time I thought music and dancing had something to do with S-E-X!

[drafan]

OMG...haven't watched this show in over a year. Got caught in it last night.

OK, excuses out of the way....the highlights:

Mullet and JB are full-fledged back, now in 50 Shades of Grey. Puke. Barf. Whatever.

Anna shows up to collect her and Joshley's paycheck. Neat.

Jinger completely skirted around the question of her breeding schedule. That was so fun to watch.

Babe / BabeJr painting was 100% producer driven. He was actually laughing at the stupidity, which makes me think there's at least one brain cell there. Finished product was kind of cute, but way too big. That so got thrown out in the move.

The staged speech pathologist visit was cringe-worthy. Bin is a dope.

Aaaaand....Mullet! She so reads here......her dissertation about all the help that Josie got/is getting/will get......... hahahahaha

Another surprise???? What???? A pregnancy???? WOW. Worth it to see Mullet flip her lid though. The JKids really have the scoop on how to become teacher's pet.

No Jill & co ????  Would love to know why...bet there's a biggie secret that we don't know.....

WTF is all this about Joy and her pregnancy....most horrible to continue airing anything to do with it... but we all know that bodily fluid  events are JB's version of the Kardashians and sex.

Derick picked a public fight with TLC on Twitter last year. He lost. The Dillards have been off the show ever since.

Joe seems nice but very, very simple. Jinger is done with her whole dumb family. I assume she has a professional stylist now? She looks so much better than everyone else, and the flashbacks really illustrate how far she’s come from the bad perm and heavy eyeliner days.

I think they all knew they were eating grasshoppers. 

[Grits]

I don’t want to see Anna on any episode.  I feel bad for Anna. I just don’t think she should be on TV. She chooses to stay married to Josh. She chose to marry him.  I was ok with the show when Anna wasn’t on it. I’m ok with Jim Bob and Michelle being on the show.  Josh is profiting by Anna being on the show.

I kind of felt she and Jeremy were inwardly laughing at Joe and Kendra thinking  "what hicks! We are so much more sophisticated then them"

I won't watch if Michelle, JB and Anna are on.  And then there's the fact that the shows are the never ending hour.

[madpsych78]

As a school psychologist who has worked with SLPs and preschoolers, I'll admit that I was interested in the Jessa/Ben/Henry storyline. I even recognized the tool the SLP administered to Henry! I would have liked to have seen more discussion of expressive vs. receptive language beyond just saying that he was in the 6th percentile. Yes, he doesn't have a lot of words yet but is his understanding of language similar or is it higher? 

Given his chronological age of 24 months at the time of testing, and his communication development being at about 18 months, he would have a 25% delay. I wonder if he would have qualified for speech therapy through early intervention in AR? Some states require at least a 30% delay.

Did y'all catch the bling the speech pathologist was wearing? A triple cross necklace with YOU CAN'T MISS THEM crosses with matching cross earrings of equal size? The entire ensemble was beyond gaudy.

I think so, too.  JinJer were acting like, "ooh, we're big city people, and so cosmopolitan!  Let's make fun of JoKen!"  Way to treat your "oh, we were so close" brother and his wife.

Somehow I missed them.  I thought Jessa said the speech pathologist was a friend or maybe I was dreaming that part when I dozed off.   We know they also have a friend connection when it comes to anything professional.  

The cow part of the episode as well as the Anna update was too much. I can't believe with all the Duggar builders in that family, the poor calf has to live in a renovated animal transport type trailer.  Mechelle didnt seem to have a clue about the cows when she was discussing them with whatever J-slave it was.  That was one awkward conversation and they seemed like strangers talking instead of  mother and daughter.

what up with a newly pregnant woman , albeit not a first timer, carrying a baby calf , and walking with it? That's what 50-60 lbs of unnecessary lifting - when the place is full of men and the few women who are not pregnant ?

I think she and several other girls were in sandals of some sort.  I would wear some type of boot to work in an area with livestock.   We have snarked in the past about their not raising their own food and seen them try to have gardens so now I guess they are into "farming"--that is, having chickens for eggs and cows for milk.  I wonder who is stuck with the milking?  I can eliminate all males and Michelle.  

I am not happy to see Michelle and JB.

I am looking at TV By the Numbers. The episode didn't crack the Top 25 original cable shows amongst adults 18-49 last night. 

That has to be a first in a while, correct?

Edit: 986K viewers and 0.22 rating.

I think  I remember some #18s or so lately.... but that could be a hallucination since I so much want them to drop....

[Chicklet]

Henry might have a delay but he reminds me of my nephew who did the same screaming instead of talking. Turns out the turnip was lazy and not delayed in any way. Taught him sign language, he spoke in complete sentences at 4 and then we wished he'd never spoken at all.

[Absolom]

Slacking away out here.  

986 K viewers and a .22 rating indeed.  The viewership is a definite drop as is the placement of 31st cable show of the day.

Under a million is a drop of about 150k from last week. LOL, even the leghumpers find them dull.

Jim Bob could eat a baby, Josh could have a huge CP archive, and Medic Corps could loot the Bahamas - but THIS is what will sink the show. May they continue to drop!

[sATL]

maybe part of the explanation of the low ratings was the medley of oldie reruns TLC showed last night... I saw an episode of the Johnstons and Little People  Big World from ages ago. Plathville probably isn't helping either.

Edited November 21, 2019 by sATL

[Absolom]

Plathville is no great shakes.  693 K viewers and a .15 rating.  84th cable show of the day.  I wouldn't get attached and it surely isn't pulling in viewers for Counting On.

I got that vibe, too. At least JoKen tried the food, I gotta give them props for that.  That's more than I would do. I'm not eating anything until I know what it is, then I still may not eat it!. They were good sports about that. I can't help but like Kendra, she is so damn sweet I don't think it's phony, either. Her parents are so wierd, though, they give me the creeps. 

Jinge looks fantastic! I love the highlights in her hair, her makeup is perfect and natural and her hair is shiny and healthy. The longer she stays away from the clan the better looking she gets!

Regarding their move, how do newlyweds collect so much crap in such a short amount of time? Jinge came in to the marriage with nothing and Jer lived in that small apartment. They shouldn't have that much junk yet!

I was wondering the same thing how they accumulated all that stuff.  I'm sure most of it were wedding gifts from their loyal followers.

Easy. Wedding, baby registries and a healthy check from TLC.

What do you find “perfect” about her makeup? It just looks pretty basic to me.

150K people were busy trying to figure out current events rather than watch the show. 😂😂😂

That and Joy's pregnancy announcement is quite depressing knowing what we know now. 

[Zella]

As much as Jeremy likes to shop for pens and pocket squares, I am surprised they didn't need a semi or two to move all their shit. 

[Sew Sumi]

Well, they did hold a garage sale. They seemed to have a great turnout. I guess it can be cool in some circles to own Jinger Duggar Vuolo's leaf blower. 😁

Anna was heavily featured on the show the first season it aired as "Counting On."  IIRC, she disappeared right around the time Josh came back from treatment. And recent tweets by Derick, if true, substantiate rumors that the Duggar children and their spouses are not paid directly for participating in the show. Jim Bob is said to receive and manage the family's collective pay, I'm guessing by forming a business entiry of some sort and running everything througj there.  Finally, rumor is he can - and does - allocate the money however he chooses,  and I have no doubt he's been largely supporting Josh and fam ever since this all happened, whether the money is from the show or one of their other businesses.

I found it interesting that Jessa was obviously very familiar with the speech pathologist. 

It looked like the Laredo party of 4 (6), might have left after the comped apps.  I wondered if Joe ever got his steak?

[Jeanne222]

I watched this one and between JB and Michelle giving advice and Anna and her kids running around in animal dung I think I'm done.

Been watching since the very beginning and probably would have continued with the girls but those three...that's a no!kids

Back before the Josh scandal I could listen to their tales of how to raise perfect kids!  Now I can't listen to their lies!

My son was first tested by a speech pathologist at 2 1/2 (he tested at an 18 months level).  No way would a professional have come out to my house like Jessa's did!  I paid a lot of money for private speech therapy until Child Find got him two years of free preschool with daily speech therapy.  I hope Jessa looks into this when Henry is three.

And yes, that speech therapist had on ugly jewelry, but Jessa had to let us know that only godly professionals were used.

I think they did order entrees at the Laredo restaurant.  I saw them carry out leftovers.  I hope Joe got a good steak!

Jessa used the word cognitively.  Thumbs up.

Jeremy:  So, red snapper is a fish. (I think he lost all respect for the Duggars at that moment).  But, he's no great shakes in my mind. I think he's pretentious and thinks he's better than everyone.  Including his wife.

Michelle and JB sounded like fucking idiots last night.

How can someone not know red snapper is a fish??? I don't think he ever had respect for the Duggars.
