Counting On Season Two


Coconut Flan

Recommended Posts

I may be the only one who thinks that Jessa's comment about Jinger watching her weight was just a joke and she wasn't calling Jinger fat or making fun of her body at all. I took it as her way of joking about how absurd Jinger is acting now that she's in love (the high pitched girly voice). Jessa was never really overally emotional or sentimental during her courtship so I could see her poking fun at her sisters for it. Also many brides to be freak out about wanting to look "perfect" on their wedding days. Many feel like they need to lose weight or keep weight off seeing as you are going to be the center of attention. I know I would be watching what I was eating if I had a wedding coming up.

On another note- I also cannot believe they wore sandals and flats to a SURVIVAL CAMP. ugh

Did Bin ever play an actual sport in his life? I know REAL homeschoolers do, but Gothard doesn't agree with sports because the whole family must always be together. So how is he going to teach football???

Ben did not grow up Gothard, though, so sports were allowed.  His family was more Vision Forum while it was around.

My thoughts on this episode:

1. Ben? Get a job.

2. Jilly, come home. You can take it. It's ok. Just say God told you to go home. Really. 

3. Jeremy? Dude. Get out while you still can. Jesus will let you marry a normal Baptist with one sibling and a working Mom.

4.  Was "survival" at Ft. Rock? That would explain a lot. I wish they'd quit this stupid "stunts." The girls went to Central America in Flip-flops and skirts. We get it. They do everything Fred Astaire does only backwards and in flip-flops as long as a guy tells them how.

5. Jinge (or Finger as I still think of her) probably has a notebook covered in Mrs. Jeremy Whoever with little hearts around it.

6..Jeremy must be hoping he gets a Megachurch out of this.

7. No more Grandma? No cousin Amy? No Dry Humping. How boring, but thank God.

This show is completely pointless and dull.

Jill, come home. You are miserable and fearful in El Salvador. Real missionary life isn't for you.

Derick, clean up. You look like a wreck.

Ben, go to an Ears and Throat Doctor and get yourself cleaned out.

Jessa, no words.

Jinger, you behave like an 8th grade girl who is having her first crush on a boy. The way you act is not how a respectable, mature 22-year old handles herself. 

TLC, end this show. What are we to learn from it?

I'm not 100 percent on this, but wasn't Ben part of some Christian football league growing up? Also, wasn't one of his sisters in some Christian dance troupe? I'm putting money on Spurge playing some kind of youth sport growing up. That really seems to be one of Ben's passions.

How is Christian football any different than regular football? Don't answer that. These people have no life.

That family meal was so weird.  Like, no celebration.  My small family gathered around the table is much more fun.  Its like none of the girls are allowed to talk unless asked to by Boob. 

After all these years of watching the Duggars and I still have absolutely NO CLUE who cooks meals in that family.   DQ doesn't cook (and hasn't for years), neither Jill or Jessa went into their marriages knowing how to cook, Jing can't cook because she is in a courtship ... is every meal catered? 

I think Jill just doesn't go outside much anymore because Israel is mobil and she is afraid of what might happen if he runs off or gets away from her.  She can't speak the language and doesn't have her siblings around to help her do anything.  She's glad they have AC in the house now so she can keep the door shut instead of leaving it open for air.  (But does the AC run when there is no power for running water?)    I really think that Jill just can not function by herself.  Doesn't know how.  She seems lost and like a little girl left alone at home.   Its really sad for me to watch.   

So Joe said there are rules for courtship and Jing says they all decide for themselves.  Yeah, right Jing.  And Jeremy towing the no physical line is just sad.  He's 28 years old and hasn't lived with momma and daddy for a long, long time.  He just wants the Duggar goods.

Because you're throwing the pigskin for Jesus. But, not "Touchdown Jesus," because that's an ebil Catholic thing at Notre Dame.

OMG I am not sure which episode this is because I don't watch the show, but I got "suggested" by YouTube to watch a video where Boob was asking Bin to give Jeremy some tips on relationships. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I almost spilled my coffee.

I know this has been mentioned before, but I truly don't understand the whole "Jinger can't do anything anymore because she is in LOVE (squeeee)." Why can't she continue to take care of daily life and be in a courtship? She is in love so suddenly she can't be bothered to help cook dinner. Not that I wish continued slavery on this girl, but come on....she's an adult. She can do more then lay around and eat/drink/sleep Jeremy all day.

And just what is she too busy doing? She doesn't work or go to school and is not allowed to go anywhere alone. Theoretically, if she is too busy, a couple of other female, related people have to be too busy too.

I didn't like how Jessa was screaming at people to come to the table and whatnot, and being mean to Josie.   Jana looks like a lost soul or someone who clearly doesn't want to be near Jessa.  

I really think that TLC kiboshed the parents from talking to much, notice how how JB steered Michelle away from call to Jill. 

this is so scripted.

@CreationMuseumSeasonPass,

Touchdown Jesus was also the big sculpture in front of the church on I-75 near Cincinnati. It was struck by lightning and destroyed sometime in the last 10 years. I don't own a picture of it, or I'd add it.

I recorded the show and for some reason it recorded without sound.

Conclusions:  the show is less irritating without baby voices;   Bin is just as stupid mute; Jing and Jer come across as soft porn.

Apparently this RV is "borrowed" from a friend.

Jana says its hard to get them all together because of their jobs.

The borrowed RV is code for "It's from Joshly Madison's car lot, but we can't mention him....so, we borrowed it from a friend."

Also, WTF Jana? Jobs? What jobs? Laundry? Cooking? J'Slaving at the TTH? Girl, no one in your family has a real job. Famewhoring for TLC is not a job.

I'm starting to wonder whether they're messing with us with regard to Bin's IQ.  It just seems to be too much...or too little.

I left Cincinnati in 2004. When did they do this? How could I have missed it?

Ohh, like a Bad Lip Reading! Now that would make much more sense than what they actually say anyway.

It was at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, and was completed in September, 2004. The cost was $250,000. That's a lot of good that could have been done for those in need.:my_angry:

RE: Jinger's annoying over the top infatuation with Jeremy,  For some reason TLC seems to like to push that idea.  They did it with Jill as there were comments in TH's that Jill wasn't working around the house, and with Jessa they made a point that she was 'so in luurrve' that she was forgetful.  Remember when she burned the rolls?  

Jinger's seems to be more exaggerated than the other two.  And some of it might really be her,  but I still think that somehow TLC is pushing this idea. 

 

I also think they are completely lying about the timeline of JinJer's relationship.  Compared to Jessa and Jill, it is very clear that Jinger and Jeremy are farther along in their relationship that Jess and Ben were or Jill and Derick.  Look at the courtship request for Jessa.  She was so awkward, there was no touching, or anything.  I don't think they had spent much time together before this point.  But I get the feeling that Jinger has spent a lot of time with Jeremy.  And I think, despite the fake courtship that they have had less chaperone observation than the others.  They are way more physical even now than the other 3 couples were even during engagement.  I suspect they have been courting or dating with purpose, long before it was on TV.  Perhaps Jeremy is smart about negotiations and he held out going public until he had some stipulations met. 

 

Jinger seems happy with him.  Hopefully he won't turn out to be a snake in the grass.  I worry though that he seems a bit too good to be true and that there is a dark side to him. 

 

Bin is clueless.  Running a football camp?  There is huge liability for something like that.  And it is so ridiculously funny to hear this 20 year old talk about want to minister to the youth.  That whole conversation at the gym just solidifies that none of these kids has any direction.  He goes and does whatever menial job JB gives him a few hours a day and then spends the rest of the time daydreaming about what to do with the rest of his time.     Ben's dad has a real job, and I think Ben had a decent work ethic before getting mixed in with this bunch.  I think he is suffering from not really being productive.  The Duggars are used to that but I think it is depressing for him.

I left in August 2004 so thankfully missed it. Yes there were a lot of better ways to spend that money

Oh @CharlieInCharge, you've found a photograph of Big Butter Jesus! Sadly, Big Butter Jesus was struck by lightning and met a fiery demise. He is immortalized in this amazing song, though:

More on topic, holy crap the scenes with Ben working out with Spud on his back was downright alarming with the little one's head lolling back like that. Damn, son.
