Jill and Jessa Duggar Special Sunday Dec 13 - Merge

[lascuba]

There goes Jill with "accountability." If we thought she was clingy with Derrick before...poor Derrick. 

[nst]

i can only imagine the creepy music to jessa in labour 

derick threw him under the bus 

[Fascinated]

Those of us not watching, let's stand united with poor Buzzard who, I don't think has a choice in the matter.  Thanks, Buzzard. You are a saint.

The doctor must have damaged nerves in Derick's face.

HA! Their popular white, blond hair and blue eyed baby!

[nerdymama1]

Wait, Derrick doesn't want to leave his wife a widow at 23 so gets braces the day she goes into labor? I don't know anything about dentistry so I am completely confused how needing braces constitutes a life or death emergency. Anyone know to explain?

[goldfishgoddess]

Derick almost looks like a young Herman Munster.   He definitely is rolling downhill.

[JoyfulSel]

Jinger will be speaking after this commercial break...

I noticed the nerve thing too, it almost gives him a stroke appearance. (My mom had one when I was little, not hating just an observation!)

[xlurker]

Derick's face is really crooked!   But he just basically called Josh a scum bag--what you do in private when no one is watching is who you really are--paraphrased, of course

I think Jill was supposed to have the baby a couple weeks before she did.  So Derick probably scheduled it thinking things would be settled and he'd be on paternity leave when he got his braces on.

[BunnyBee]

those power point skills though

I'm of the mind he likes it...he's always struck me as a Capt'n Sav-a-Hoe....

having a delicate flower to protect and shelter seems to be up his alley.

Watching this with someone completely unfamiliar is interesting. She also believes that Jill and Jessa may not know the full truth of what Josh did. 

[goldfishgoddess]

ANYONE NOTICE A LACK OF COMMERCiAL SPONSORS???  They are just running TLC promos in the commercial slots.  Go FJ!!

Ah, gotcha. Thanks! Can't watch because I don't have TLC, so I don't have the entire context. Still don't get how it would make her a widow in the near future, though! Infection, maybe?

2nd commercial break.....TLC Little Couple Promo

Apparently, there is not a lot of money in these shows.  

[lascuba]

Jessa, what are you doing all day that you can only see Jinger once a week?

The "widow at 23" comment was about him having oral surgery, not the braces. 

[violynn]

You are amazing for doing this, Buzzard!

[0KidsAndHappy]

The second commercial break was only The Little Couple preview. It looks like boycott threats worked. So far, though, Lysol and Progressive did advertise.

[Imrlgoddess]

Sorry:  shameless shoutout for the I-49 cameo!  woo hoo tha's my hiway ya'll!!! slightly further south however.......

jinger is raising her siblings 

[slickcat79]

Jessa, many babies are only slightly larger than 15 inches when they're BORN. Your baby was not 15 inches at the ultrasound "halfway through". 

[HerNameIsBuffy]

There was some confusion about which thread she'd be posting in- she's inthe Jill and Jess special thread.  

[Smoochie]

I understand Jill feeling victimized again, after the release of the reports.  Perhaps if they weren't so hypocritical and quick to condemn others lifestyles and choices.  Maybe if they had admitted that their lifestyle hasn't led to a perfect life, there have been bumps in the road (tho molestation is hardly a bump!)  but,  felt it was the best way to raise their family, people would have been more 'forgiving'.  It's the way they preach to, look down on others with the holier than thou attitude that led to, I believe, people not letting go of the unsubstantiated rumours.   Those in glass houses and all that!

I truly don't believe that them having and talking about the victimization has anything to do with what he did to Anna and they're forgiveness of what he did to them.  Apples and oranges, however, it should show them that their way of life, clearly their relationship with the Lord is not enough to make someone live a perfect lifestyle and will something away.  Lots of nice platitudes though about plugging along and getting  thru the fire. 

Man this show is all over the place with the 'plot' lines.
