That is interesting. I do wonder if they continue coverage and if they do, what kind.

A couple hours after the cancellation story broke, People ran a story about Jessa camping. So I guess the answer is yes - at least for now.

If I were a tabloid or other celebrity-related media outlet, I'd see this as a great time to run stories on Duggars, the most advantageous for eyeball grabbing in quite a while, probably.

There's high curiosity and interest right now because of how extreme and horrifying the Josh mess is.......So there's high click value. 

Once the Josh thing dies down, though -- by year's end, maybe, or sometime in 2022? -- there may be very very little interest in the Duggars....perhaps forever after (unless something else juicy happens.) ....

So .... get the clicks today. By 2023, they're likely to be nothing but a fuzzy, distant memory.

Do adoption agencies do any form of psych evaluation? I imagine a professional interviewing Bin and Jessa would immediately see they're not in good places mentally or emotionally. A couple whose main form of communication is one-word responses followed by sullen silence doesn't exactly scream "stable, loving home."

Fundie adoption agencies have zero standards and will hand off a child to anyone quoting the Bible (I'm only slightly exagerating). It's why I always felt a chill when any of the Duggars mentioned adopting. If they wanted to, they could do it pretty easily.

As far as the lack of birth special for Seewald spawn #4, I'd be surprised if they post any videos of the birth. I think Anna was the only one who clearly wanted to be filmed giving birth. It seems that everyone else only did it for the ministry/JB's bank account.

@GeeGolly, I wonder the same thing. Once the family is off the air, their stock as influencers will drop. None of them have the skills, savvy, or know how to become real influencers, and frankly I don’t see them bothering to learn or improve. 

Hmmm.  not super sure if they will disappear...JB was kinda a shrewd cookie before the show and he still  has life left. The real estate market is good as well as used cars.

Then I  sure one if them will make a call over to the Bates women who are selling enough dresses to open a brick  and mortar  bldg.

And/or when Jana gets married,  some network will be glad to air the wedding. TLC isn't the only network.

Considering Cosby was released this doesn't surprise me.

Jessa posted a video on YouTube. I guess an intern at People found it before news of the cancellation broke.

They camped in a giant tent.

Exactly, it wasn’t an “exclusive “, no $ for Jessa.

Jessa hanging with Jana and Michelle. I can't make sense of Michelle's top(s).

It's a vest over a long-sleeved shirt.

What's consistent in every photo of Michelle is how clenched she holds herself. Look at her hand (balled into a fist) and her face and compare it to the others'. 

It makes me wonder if everything is an act for her and she's truly forgotten how to be normal. 

[Quof]

That's actually the most normal fundie outfit Michelle has worn in a while - a knee length khaki skirt, apparently bare legs in summer and a summer top.  Yeah, the top is a little weird, but unless those shoes are actually bedroom slippers, the outfit beats the black clodhoppers and hose she normally wears. 

[Marshmallow Mollie]

It looks like a sleeveless shirt over the white shirt. Where did the sleeveless shirt even come from? Why have one?

[BitterApple]

Jessa looks nice for a change. I'm surprised she was able to get a brush through her hair.

The shoes are different from the heavy black things she usually wears, but these look thin, cheap, and much too wide. I wear a lot of canvas shoes in the summer (Tom's), and they don't gape at the sides and wrinkle in the toe box. 

Shoes like the ones Michelle is wearing provide no support. She'll be back to the clodhoppers soon enough.

Agree.  I think JB will be in negotiations with any network he can interest with the wedding of the century, provided that there is a groom handy.  I did kinda like Steve from Nebraska, and I though he pretty much met Jana's stated criteria for a husband, but maybe not.  I would have thought that a courtship would have been announced after news of the cancellation was released, but no.  Maybe Boob is holding out.

I don’t know where they are but she may be using those as house shoes (slippers).

[Teriacky]

Speaking of shoes, it would appear Jessa has some type of toenail fungus. 

[Absolom]

It looks like the remains of chipped polish to me.

[realityfan26]

The picture isn't recent, is it? Jessa is about full term and she doesn't look like it in the picture.

Yeah, that one's been there for at least a couple years, I think. I was hoping that, with the new one up in the living room, she might have taken this one down. Because....one is too many, in my opinion, but I'd think it was at least enough, no matter who you were. But, nope, now there are two. .....

Will the kitchen be the next room blessed with a giant kissy pic? Or the "kids' room/guest room/Bin's study"?

Well, whatever it is -- large buffet restaurant? small shopping mall? -- according to the decor on the floor, it was "Established in [year covered up by Duggars]." So it must be a commercial venture of some kind. Kinda doubt even Meeechelle'd wear quasi house slippers to shop or hit up a commercial buffet....(not that I'd say that with any certainty!)

I was thinking the same after seeing the Father’s Day video.

It’s an odd picture for Jessa to post. Pictures with other family members are few and far between for her Instagram.

Based on the letters I can read, it looks like Marketplace Grill, one of their favorite haunts.

Jessa appears to have lost at least half of her hair volume.  Pregnancy usually gives nice, thick hair.

Michelle is always clutching her damn phone.  You can see it along her wrist.  I agree, her tops look weird.

Yes, Amy confirmed they were at Marketplace Grill in the pic.

Now WHEN they were there is another thing. I think Jessa may have posted that to signal the members of her birthing team.

Did I read somewhere that this would be a hospital birth, or did I dream that?

That's when they still had the promise of a TLC payday (via Boob). Now? All bets are off. I'm betting on another couch birth. Jessa waffled about the hospital when she announced her plan.

Plus Jessa is a lying liar. Bin probably tried to talk her into hospital birth, but if she agreed to go to the hospital, she knew she could still change her mind and not go.

One of these times something very bad is going to happen.  I wonder if their "insurance" covers births in a hospital.  Boob has important "Josh" stuff on his mind.  No time --and money--to worry about a woman.

[FizzyPuff]

Jessa may still do a hospital birth now the show is cancelled she could film it and put it on YouTube it would gets lots of hits. Joy filmed hers and put it on her channel so Jessa might too, just to be talked about.

She won’t make enough money to pay for that hospital birth.

Yup. That's why I am betting on a couch birth attended by Jana and Meech.

[lascuba]

Having to be transferred to a hospital and treated for hemorrhaging  can't be much cheaper that just giving birth in the hospital from the get go. Ben looked stressed and annoyed at how casually everyone was acting after Ivy's birth when Jessa was bleeding. It would be stupid even by Duggar standards to not go to the hospital. It's not like TLC would have paid enough to cover the cost, anyway, and since homebirths are much easier to film, I'd like to think that wasn't a factor in deciding for a hospital birth.
