Season 10 predictions?

[eh02]

If this season runs ~3 months like they have lately, that'd cover mid-February through maybe the end of May.

 

So between the show and the announcements from other sources, from now until late May...best guesses?! Winner gets bragging rights? Or maybe winner should be ashamed of yourself for knowing the Duggars too well?

 

Courtship/engagement/wedding announcements?

Pregnancies?

Anything else wild and unexpected?

 

So far we've got:

 

Married Duggars:

 

Jill - due in March, so she's pretty much accounted for, unless she pops out a 9lb baby on Feb 1.

Anna - due in July, but no m'gender (or number of babies) yet

A so far but-likely-not-for-long assumed empty-wombed Jessa

 

Duggars who could potentially announce courtships (or even engagements or marriages..):

 

John (25)

Jana (25)

Jinger (21)

Joseph (20)

Josiah (18)

 

And Josh, Jessa and Jill were 19?, 20, and 22 when they began courting, I think? Just for reference Think there could be a courtship announcement by June?

[DefrauderDaughter]

I expect a lot of eye rolling from Jessa this season :lol:

I also think that Jill will have quite a few episodes centered around her and her pregnancy, which, honestly, I'm quite excited to see. I feel ashamed just saying that! I predict Jessa will announce her pregnancy towards the end of this season. Ben will blather at the camera, as usual, and J'Uterus will whine about the "new season of life" she's in and how she can't have babies anymore. I really hope we see another courtship (Jinger!!!) but I doubt it.

My predictions

I predict Jill will announce another pregnancy in June #2 Baby Dilly #1 will be three months old

I also predict Jessa will announce a pregnancy in July and be pregnant with twins

I predict Howlers going to the dentist

I also predict Ben and Jessa will be more warm with each other this season - a contradiction to their real personas

:cracking-up:

[eh02]

And mine:

Josh & Anna: Announce they're having a boy next week, probably with some kind of mini-feature of the ultrasound after the first episode :|

Jill & Derick: Baby comes March 10, or JUST early enough to excite everyone who thinks it was conceived out of wedlock :D, with a VSE at the end of the season covering the birth

Jessa & Ben: Announce pregnancy by late February, announce sex halfway through the season, due in August or September

Jana & John: I think at least one of them will be courting or engaged by June to someone we have never heard of

Jinger: No news this season, but I think she will be courting by this time next year

Joseph: Just the college announcement for now, probably some "getting to know" Tori Bates in the near future

Josiah: Invisible like usual :( But I'm hoping for some Josiah features. Any sign of life.

[singsingsing]

I think we already know exactly what it's going to be about: Jessa's wedding and Jill's baby, with a bit of M4 and Joseph-goes-to-college thrown in for good measure. I don't think there will be any new courtships, and if Jessa gets pregnant I could see the announcement coming after the end of the season, with the pregnancy featuring in the season after next. By that time Jill will probably be pregnant again as well.

[19 cats and counting]

Josh and Anna are finding out the gender of M4 next week (per Duggar family blog). Either they'll interrupt another show or wait until 19K returns to announce Matthew or Madyson Duggar (those are my name predictions).

-

Jill will try to make the season all about her again because she's pregnant and the whole season has to be centered around Jill. There will probably be an entire episode devoted to Jill decorating the nursery. Should Jessa announce a pregnancy before Jill gives birth, Jill will try and steal her thunder and announce the name the same day Jessa announces a pregnancy

-

Jessa probably is already knocked up but is waiting until the show returns (or out of the first trimester) to announce. The producers REALLY want there to be 3 Grand Duggars cooking at once. The show will cover the wedding (probably opening one) and focus on newlywed life for Ben and Jessa and how they're adjusting

-

Next courtship will be John David. It will be announced at the end of the season. Maybe Jana will crack a comment about how JB has turned down all potential suitors for her.

Jinger/Joseph--- I don't see them courting yet and I can't predict who is first. Both of them could feasibly end up with Bates kids (Lawson or Nathan for Jinger and Tori or Carlin for Joseph), especially since they've been spending a lot of time together. Not sure how that would play on TV now that the families are on 2 different networks.

Other kids--

Josiah- Will probably be invisible.

Howlers--- now that Duggar studios is on youtube and they've produced music videos. They'll write a song for Baby Dilly and produce a video (and the show will cover it).

Joy Anna-- She'll be the girl that cracks (due to no sisters close in age to her and her spunk). Either Crown College or a special friend/pre courting is in her near future. If she's going to court/marry young then I predict he's a few years older (a la Alyssa Bates). May wear pants at some point too

Jennifer/Jordyn-- will be spending a lot of time with their (married) sister mom. Jennifer will be spending a lot of time with Jill and helping her with the baby (and might become a sister mom herself).

Josie-- Will continue to have Youngest Child Syndrome.

JB and Michelle--- JB will continue to be an idiot and stage things (please no more dry humping on a golf course) and try to be funny when he's not. There will be a project done by the younger kids featured on the show.

Michelle will talk about a season of life and how blessed she is to have 2 (3?) new grandchildren on the way and how lucky she is to be a grandmother. She'll spend more time with Baby Dilly than all of the M kids put together (even when they lived locally) because Jill's her favorite.

[Georgiana]

I doubt it will happen, but I would love it if they talked to the older (especially the married) Duggars about what they think about the married Bates who have relaxed their views. I'd like to know what the Duggar kids think about that and if they think they would relax their views upon marriage.

I think we get your average episodes of Jill/Jessa setting up house and HILARIOUS adjustments to life outside a mega family (oh the absurdity! she cooked too much food! only 1 load of laundry?!?).

Jessa's wedding (but less than Jill's focus)

Jill's pregnancy and ultrasounds

Jana is given something to do outside the home as an FU INTERNETS.

The token Josh/Anna check-in

Michelle talks about her future grandbabies in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable as her younger children are ignored in the background

JB makes jokes in poor taste that make everyone uncomfortable.

JOSEPH GOES TO COLLEGE!

[bluebird]

Predictions: 1) Jill will give birth on March 3 @ 2:42 a.m. She will have a long and difficult labor and delivery (hope not) 2) No pregnancy announcement from Jessa 3) Another boy for Josh and Anna 4) Grandma Duggar semi-retires as house laundress and takes Wednesdays off. 5) Amy announces that she is pregnant. 6) Jinger loses the orange skin and straightens her hair 7) There will be a sound less clip of Jana playing a piano in a place that is impossible to identify. 8) No changes for poor Jana 9) Ben gets a low paying part time job

[Ursula]

They will most likely do a press tour before the season starts in Feb and announce the SEX of M4 then. Though they could just announce on one of their Twitter/Instagram accounts right after they find out because honestly, no one gives a shit at this point.

This season will focus on Jessa wedding planning and Jill baby planning. Lately the "seasons" have been spread out over a calendar year, so they do a spring season (season 10 part A) then a fall season (season 10 part B). Season 10 part A will most likely end with the birth of the Dilly fetus but Jill and Derick might just get a super special snowflake episode dedicated to their crotch fruit. Josh and Anna did for their first two (can't remember if Marcus got a special or if his birth was just thrown into a regular season episode).

The second part of the season (that airs in the fall) will focus on Jill and Derick as new parents, feature M4's birth episode and will most likely feature Jessa giving birth for the first time or Jessa getting divorced for the first time. Maybe BOTH!

[Fundie Bunny]

Jilly Dilly will also be the focus of this season. Boring as hell. Maybe Jessa will have also some focus on her wedding all by herself. Her pregnancy will be announced just after the seadon ends, just in time for a triple maternity show with jill and anna. A courtship will be announced before the season starts. Or maybe the pregnancy before and the courtship after.

Joseph will be courting before the year ends and married by september 2016. But before, Jana and JD will court. Jana will have a super short courtship and Jonh a longer one both will be married or engaged before this time next year.

[jerkit]

Everyone is stilling praying about adoption with ZERO intention of actually doing anything.

Amy will get screen-time and it will be painful.

If there’s any post-Blessawedding material, JB will be totes awkward about Jessa’s empty uterus.

We’ll get some more real emotion from Jessa a la her engagement episode.

Every Dill talking head will start out with “I’m Jill Dillard and I married Derick and we’re pregnant with our first child.â€

Smugganna and M’Kids will only be in a few select episodes.

TLC will try to pull a “Is Michelle KTFU up or not?†moment and of course, her uterus will be dry, empty, and sad.

Benessa’s and Dill’s church affiliations will not be discussed even though I am most interested in that information.

I agree about the real emotion from Jessa a la engagement - which you could already see in the engagement episode I so look forward to that - real emotion from Jessa instead of wolves will be a happy event :P

already it's smarmy with Jill :D

I would love to hear their affirmations

Instagram says they’ve been attending Cross Church which is sort of astounding to me. Modern music, women who wear pants and work, conservative Christian but fairly indistinguishable from most evangelical churches. What does JB think about that?!

[isarhenne]

I would honestly be shocked, sorry and kind of sad if Jinger started courting, for reasons I cannot say on this board :?

My predictions:

It's all about Jill and her pregnancy and the new house...

A little bit of M4 and little bit of Jessa's wedding, that's it. Joseph's going to college will be mentionned on the show but that's about it.

I kind of wish that Jessa is pregnant with twins! It would be interesting to see if there will be some jealousy between her and Jill, because Jill only has a singleton pregnancy and the big house, whereas Jessa has the tiny house and is pregnant with twins. that would be interesting to watch.

I hope the only new courtship will be John. He kind of needs a wife, I guess, he is ready for marriage.

[GeoBQn]

While the show is going to feature Jill's pregnancy for a lag time of several months after birth, I predict that these things will be in the works:

As the race for Election 2016 begins, the Duggars will travel across the country to give stump speeches for their pet candidates. The show will only film them going on odd side trips and visiting friends in the area. (Conservative rallies in Iowa = The Duggars visit the Bontragers and eat fried things at the Iowa State Fair!)

An episode where 80% of the kids have the stomach flu.

An overseas trip to Australia or a country in east Africa.

[Justme]

Jessa's wedding and Paris honeymoon

Jill's baby (about 20x per show)

Jill/Derik & Jessa/Ben setting up "housekeeping". Jill will be pictured as the "perfect housewife" and Jessa "struggling" in sort of a "Lucy, comedic" way. For example, Jill's dinner is "perfect" while Jessa's comes out burnt (but Ben loving declares it's "perfect").

Josh & Anna have an ultrasound or other baby news, but who really cares anymore.

Joe going off to collage (Mullet crying, boo hoo...)

Ben scrubbing Boob's toilets and considering changing his name to Duggar.

Grandma doing something fun to show she does more than laundry. (Maybe with Amy.)

Jessa's pregnancy (I think she is and they are keeping mum.)

Possibly Jill's birth if the season is long enough

Jill driving Derik to work, bringing him lunch, and picking him up. (I hope we get lots of co-worker eye rolls, but a couple may say how "sweet" it is on camera.)

Talking heads of the younger kids with captions 'cause we can't understand them.

Lots of face sucking of Boob and Mullet.... :doh:

[nastyhobbitses]

Jill will be practically unable to be by herself for any period of time and Derick's co-workers' mouths will say how sweet it is that she eats lunch with him every day while their eyes say "homegirl has more issues than Vogue". Still, we will see Derick being a good husband to her and it will be cute to see them preparing for their baby.

We will be treated to Jessa and Ben reenacting that ending shot of The Graduate as they slowly realize that they only married each other so they could bang each other's brains out.

Joseph will go to college; we will follow his travails, such as living in a dorm room (not much different from home), actually learning stuff in a classroom, and hanging out with people who are slightly less associated with ATI. His family will come up and visit all the damn time and disrupt everyone else.

Michelle will be forced to actually raise her younger children because Josh and Anna will take Jana and Jinger to raise theirs. Hijinks will ensue as she struggles to discipline her howling brood of hellions in a way that doesn't involve beating them with plumbing equipment.

Josh and Anna will be preparing for M4 (I vote Megyn for a girl, Matthew for a boy), and we will see a "hilarious" episode where they have to do a secular thing or a thing that allows Josh to eat something fried and disgusting on-camera.

Jim Bob will try to set up more stunts to prove his dominance over his sons-in-law, and will make more of an ass of himself than usual.

Josie will become even more insufferable. Jenny and Jordyn will start to turn into those weird twins with their own language because no one pays any attention to them anymore.

And I vote that either Josiah or Joy will finally crack this season. Or we'll just get lots of Joy weightlifting and having way more chemistry with Ben than he has with Jessa.

[Dandruff]

If they change the intro to include recent marriages and pregnancies, and do the usual recaps, I'm not sure how much time will remain for anything else.

[HereticHick]

I am trying to think about what drama will be manufactured for the show:

I agree with the poster that Jessa will burn a dinner for her new hubby.

There will be some fake drama re: Jill's labor & delivery. Perhaps the midwife will be "late" in arriving and TLC will imply that OMG maybe Jill will have to deliver her own baby herself. :?

Michelle won't cry over Joseph's leaving for Crown College, but some of the J'Slaves will. TLC will pretend that he's living in a dorm room (I don't think they will lie about it, but they will have shots of dorm buildings that imply it) but I bet he's actually sleeping in Zach's old bunk at the Bates).

[HarleyQuinn]

I think Jill will hog most of the spotlight again *gag*

Jessa's wedding.

A little bit of M-child 4, but hopefully not too much because Josh and Anna bore me to tears.

Joseph will start courting a Bates girl, and we'll get a ridiculous over the top crying scene of Boob and Mullet sending him off to "college."

Josiah might be shown graduating from ALERT, but I doubt it because Jim Boob hates him.

Jana will have to be shown playing a concert since she's a concert pianist and all.

A howler or lost girl hurts them self and/or goes to the dentist.

Josie is mentioned as a "miracle" for the millionth time.

[Four is Enough]

Your predictions make me want to set my DVR right now! Wait. I don' t have a DVR. Won't be buying one, either.

The only thing in question here is whether or not Joseph will live in a dorm. I'm sure he'll live in the college dorm. I just have this feeling that JB is not going to allow Gil or Kelly Bates to have ANY influence over any of his little darlings if he can help it. Better the rigid rules of the college and one stranger (who will not really be a stranger, just another homeschooled little dumpling of a kid) sharing a room with him, because Gil Bates might also want Joseph to WORK for his keep, and JB can not allow the Bateseses to PROFIT from one of Jim Bob's kids! :pink-shock:

I don't think there will be any new courtships, and if Jessa gets pregnant I could see the announcement coming after the end of the season, with the pregnancy featuring in the season after next. By that time Jill will probably be pregnant again as well.

I agree with all of this. Truthfully, I'm excited to see Jill prego and Jessa's wedding, especially with her and Ben escaping to share their first kiss! I *hope* the new season will show more of Josiah and Jordyn, my two faves.

I don't think that CC's rules would allow Joe to live at the Bates. "Allowing" students to live with their parents while attending is one thing. Allowing a student to live in home with unrelated single and of appropriate aged girls is another thing altogether.
