The Duggars seem desperate...

I was thinking today. Jim Bob is marrying off the kids quickly it seems now. Is he worried about TLC money not coming in? Surly he must know the families time in the spotlight might not be forever. :violin:

 

I mean they seem desperate just with getting a Facebook account and such. Just a thought...

What...? They've got one son who got married like six years ago, and then a daughter who got married in June and another who will probably be married later this fall. Do they have a bunch of other kids hidden somewhere that they're marrying off in droves, or what? And how does creating a Facebook page indicate desperation? Don't worry, I'm pretty sure the Duggars are richer and more confident than ever. :roll:

I don't think they're desperate, just Fame whores trying to milk up everything because it ends. I don't think the past few seasons have been good. This season's ratings are up. I do think they ran out of storylines. Everything they do (trips, movies, dentist, etc ) normal people do as well. The daughters started courting because it looks weird having all those adults at home doing nothing with their lives but being sister moms. And a woman's virginity is much more valuable than a boys. So why not marry them off and show an example.

Jim Bob never had this much money in his life. I think if they want to keep the gravy then do something out of the ordinary.

Is it bad that they want those things.... :? Many of the people we follow have social media accounts. Again, the Duggars are "famous" and they have fans. Having social media accounts makes sense.

I wouldn't say bad I would say that it shows how much they really want the fame though.

Exactly. Add that to the list of the many hypocrisies of the Duggar family. Cause wanting to be famous and such definately goes against the bible.

And look, we all have areas in our life where we are hypocrites. However, the Duggars work very hard to make the life of many people even harder by promoting their hateful ideologies. Latest example is J'Chelles little stunt against the Fayettevilles anti-discrimination proposal. And their son Josh proudly works for a homophobic organisation. So I'm not willing to cut the Duggars some slack on their obvious hypocrisy.

I would like to see the ratings once the new television season starts in a few weeks. The whole reason I didn't watch last season is because I had too many shows and the Duggars had to be culled from my DVR. I wonder if the ratings were higher because there was just nothing else to watch.

I don't see how having social media accounts=wanting fame. Many of the Duggars friends, family and religious leaders use social media.

Well I don't know what their beliefs are as for the Duggars they are hypocrites who are out for the money they are all we don't watch TV that much but oh it's okay for our kids to be on a TV show or give interviews to magazines. Then they go even farther. we use very little internet. but you know what now we're going to have multiple Social Media accounts. If they want them fine but lets call it what it is them wanting to be even farther in the spotlight and bending their own rules.

I do think they want the fame and they've become used to a certain kind of lifestyle. But I'm sure they justify it as spreading the message of their godly lifestyle to the masses, hoping to convert some of us to funde-ism or some such nonsense.

I don't see how any of this is hypocritical or bending the rules. You said they have limited use of the internet an TV. How does having social media and a tv show change that? How is it hypocritical?

. I bet you the Duggar's aren't allowed to read People except maybe their own articles but yet it's okay to do an interview for them. and I also bet you that they aren't allowed to watch many of the shows that TLC airs but it's okay for them to have a show on that station. as for facebook and other social Media do you really think they can stop their kids from going on other pages and accounts oh the defrauding. :lol:

I think the Duggars are receiving higher ratings this season simply because people want to see the first girl get married/pregnant and they want to see how the whole courtship scenario plays out. Once the novelty of Duggar kids getting married and breeding eventually wears off, the Duggars will probably be relegated to update specials. This of course assumes that they don't have a major scandal before then.

Please-us Jesus, let there be scandal. Therein lies the true entertainment.

I don't think the Facebook page makes them desperate. A lot of people have a network based fan page and then their own that they can control the content of. It actually took them a lot longer than I assumed to venture over to Facebook after they joined IG.

Yes, all that AND the Bateses getting ahead of them. plus a daughter marrying a politician's son! Boob is way behind; no ATI royalty as in-laws.

I think Ben was to create interest in their show through a courtship. I think Jim Bob saw him as somebody he could control and knew he needed to marry somebody off preferably a daughter to keep interest in the show. I think Derrick showed up and that relationship just happened without Jim Bob necessarily expecting it to move as quickly. I don't think they're going to marry anyone else off in the near future. None of the oldest boys seem interested and the remaining older girls need to help with the cleaning and cooking. Plus the show will be kept busy for a couple years with Jill's baby being born, Jessa's wedding, Jessa's first child and possibly a Anna, Jill and Jessa are ALL pregnant together thing.

I don't think they're marrying daughters off for ratings. If they were, we would already have a new courtship now that one is married/pregnant and the other is engaged.

I think it's just that you can only keep 20-something children for so long.

Well looks like Jessa has a Facebook account now. Thinking about Jessa's new account made me think about something some of the girls said a few years ago about how Josh and Anna used to have an account but it got taken down because Facebook thought it was fake. :lol:

I don't think that the media accounts mean the Duggars are desperate.

I do think, however, that Boob is desperate to keep the kids down on the farm because he put Jerick in a fancy house, started Duggar aviation (to keep JD in line) and moved Ben into the storage building which some may call a "guest house". He really doesn't want any of his children to leave and cleave. He even owns the property that Jill's midwifery program uses.

That's true, and one thing I noticed when watching the special about building TTH is that Boob said that there was the possibility of building more of those on the property for when the children start to get married. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons Ben was moved into the "guest house" was that he and Jessa would have a place to live without her being able to leave and cleave.
