Meow Mix May 13, 2023 Share May 13, 2023 Kelly needs to lose the ruffles. They look ridiculous on her. The colors of the clothes (and I use that term loosely) do her no favors, but her hair and makeup are contributing to the issues. The brown lipstick is not good on someone with her coloring. With all those people floating around, someone should be able to help her look her best since they want to sell these clothes. That white background also washes her out. Evan needs to work on his skills. It is not the brag he thinks it is that he has never taken any classes. He needs them desperately if he wants to make a living at this. Going back to the graduation, it really bugged me that Kelly said Isaiah was still thankful despite that fact that she completely blew off his graduation. What exactly is he thankful to her for? She did nothing. Also, it looks like Law and Tiff broke the bank on the root beer and greeting card they gave him. Michael must have not been answering her phone since Carlin had to step in and order cheap pizza and throw together a party for Isaiah. And where exactly is Gil in all of this? Out giving another hateful sermon? 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19868-meet-the-parents-gil-and-kelly-jo-bates/page/9/#findComment-7999671

BetyBee May 29, 2023 Share May 29, 2023 The latest podcast episode of Digging up the Duggars is about Gil and is entitled "Gil Needs a Story and a Swingset". It's really good and is all about Gil's philosophy of praying for every little thing (rather than working for anything) and how he feels that is the best way to serve the Lord. The Lord didn't want him working or even driving an appropriate car for his passel of kids. The Lord apparently prefers that Gil pray on whatever until someone shows up and gives him what is needed for free. They also talked about how adamant Gil is about not borrowing....except from Lawson, who used to pay for everything! In short, Gil is a lazy hypocrite! 14 4 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19868-meet-the-parents-gil-and-kelly-jo-bates/page/9/#findComment-8020700
