Counting On Season Two

@ViolaSebastian, I had heard it called Touchdown Jesus, but when I researched it on Wikipedia, saw that it was also called Big Butter Jesus. Wonder if that name is related to the butter cow at the Ohio State Fair.

 

Now back to the Duggar snark.

I have to say I can't wait until Jill is back in America and Jinger is married and can be a focal point on the show. I am SO SICK of Jessa and dull dull Ben.

The other are annoying to but damn there is something about Jessa that annoys me so much. Its gotta be her fake breathy laugh about everything and her arrogance. I just can't handle it.

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 think Ben is aimless and Jessa encourages his day dreaming because that is her job.   jessa's goal in life is to bless others around her - because she is so holy don't forget. 

TLC is smoking the same thing Jeremy is with regards to that courtship

TLC fudged/re-enacted with Jill so I'm not surprised they seem to be doing the same with Jinger.  It's quite possible that Jim Bob won't allow filming courtship until an engagement is in place or all but a done deal after Josiah.

Who's the clown at TLC who keeps insisting that "girl is too busy being In Love to participate in regular family outing" is a totally plausible and organic reality TV plotline?

I thought this was a story line for each courting girl as well, but then realized that it is actually job training. As I recall, Michelle has said something along the lines of 'Anybody can make a sandwich, but there are things only you can do for your husband.' We know she's been checked out for a number of years, because being married only has two responsibilities - being joyfully available and having babies, then handing them off to a J-slave. The girls are the ones who really run the house. Once a girl starts courting, I think she is encouraged to just think of her fellow, in preparation for being joyfully available, instead of the mundane sandwiches anyone can do. I'm not saying she is given real information, just being prepared to hand off her responsibilities.

Thats true and I guess its good preparation for handing off all their duties to the next J-slave. The family needs to learn what to do without them. But I think Jinger and Jessa never really did that much around the house. As I recall Jessa's jurisdiction was packing for trips (so not a daily need) and Jinger's was laundry but we all know the G-Slave (grandma duggar) does the laundry.

Wasn't Jessa responsible for SOTDRT, too? While the general quality of Duggar SOTDRT is laughably low, corralling 15-odd kids every day must have been time-consuming.

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.

What? Seriously? Oh, that's got to be just fantastic!

I have serious side-eye for anyone who agrees to be part of this circus.

I'm kinda shocked that no one has mentioned the sorry state of Noelle's hair. It's obvious time and attention were given to other girl. Why is it ok for the little one to leave the house looking groomed & accessorized, but Noelle's hair looks like a rat's nest? It pisses me off that the Napiers are willfully ignorant on how to take care of this girl's hair. They are failing as parents to a black child. There's no excuse for their negligence. This aspect of trans-racial adoption rubs me the wrong way. 

I agree.  I have often felt that way about Zahara Jolie-Pitt's hair.  It is a little better now that she is getting older.  Then again except for when the older boys were younger and had buzz cuts all the kids hair looks like it is in desperate need of a comb and washing most of the time.

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.

 

I love that your DVR didn't record sound = 

you could have made a whole script up 

Missed opportunity.  I could have done this (hid link because I can't remember the rule right now):

This is a genius idea. :)  FJers with some free time should get cracking on this!

As if Jeremy could set off even more red flags - dude sounds like he's speaking in a baby voice too. He came off so fake.

His whole demeanor reminds me of an 18-year-old interviewing for admission at his favorite college.

So what happens next season when we know that Jeremy and Jinger will be living in Arkansas, unemployed and pregnant? No way do they move out of state as no Duggar can carry a show alone and you need married Duggars guiding the newlyweds, plus paycheck.  Will the show do the same jender reveal, decorating the Duggar loaner house and scary first baby birth that turns out fine because they are so holy? I just don't see how you make a third season of a Duggar girl who will do everything exactly as she was raised. Nothing shocking or different will happen. We have seen this story before and the original was as bad as the remake.

Everything so half assed. Like Ben, don't start your own football camp. You have no experience. Join one that is existing. They always need volunteers...who work for free.

Just read this article: http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1127911/jill-dillard-son-pajamas 

I can't tell if the writer is snarking or defending. But I like how the writer referred to the TV as the 'Satan Box'. The comments on the article are a mix bag. 

It begs the question though was the Paw Patrol pyjammas (along with other recent things) a kind of ploy to make the family appear more normal in light of the Joshly scandals and the growing awareness of Gothardism? 

Or could it be to compete with Zach Bates and Winnie the Pooh? :pb_lol:

Everyone's already listed the super bizarre things about the 2nd episode (and this season so far) so I won't repeat anything.  That said, I wonder why Mr. Jinger is being so dishonest about his soccer career.  He was let go by the team, but made it seem like he voluntarily left soccer for the ministry.  The dishonesty on this show is really crazy.

This world is nothing but a marketing tie-in. It's almost impossible to find pajamas or tee shirts or even underwear that doesn't have a cartoon character on it.

Yeah I get what you mean! 

However, what I don't get is the whole Duggar buy used mantra. I doubt fairly recent pyjamma's would be in a goodwill store already. Or has buy used gone out the window now too?

I don't know - used clothes his size are usually only 3-6 months old and in great shape. I sell my kids clothes once a year, but could have done every 3 months at one point.

I guess since I'm currently child-less that never came to mind! Thanks for the clarification though and I'll remember to keep that in mind for future - not to go overboard on baby clothes as they grow quickly and half the clothes may not ever be worn!
