Digging Up the Duggars

We've reached the final leg of our big globetrotting adventure. The fam is going to Israel. I think Lego Hair assumed that there was going to be a heavenly choir lightly singing the whole time. Rays of sunlight shooting out from behind big, puffy white clouds, and the Jordan River being full of crystal clear water.

We watched the fam get to ride camels while Lego Hair was uncomfortable. A couple of the girls getting chatted up at the Dead Sea. Jim Bob tries to haggle at the Old City Market while not remotely understanding the exchange rate.

Oi! The Duggars made it to London! The exchange rate for thumbs-ups must be in their favor because we are thumbs-up heavy. We see the show's (very brave) fixer, let Lego Hair and Cannon drive her vehicle. The kids enjoy some tea time and Lego Hair mortifies at least two members of his family. They also take a ride in the London Eye and round out their time in England with a trip to Stonehenge.

In our not-so-mini Dig, Whitney watches an entire swoon session for Baby Cannon herself. A whole room full of people fawning over the fact that she gave birth to the children who are parenting her other children. Mother of the Year, folks! No...really.

The Brood is going international! We've reached the travel specials and the first destination is Scotland and Ireland. This episode is complete with a tin whistle overhaul of the theme song. If you guessed that you would get Duggar Time and a lot of "what do you mean we?", you'd be correct. Lego Hair has the buffoonery dialed up since they're in another country, complete with a very awkward, ineffective pitch for Christianity. They jump on a ferry and head over to Ireland to spend time at a working farm. Beautiful, green countryside is the stage for the kids to try and herd sheep (Patches the Dog is much more adept at it).

Whitney takes us back in time and we read through some of the comments on the family's websites from way back in the 2010's. It's a fascinating, sometimes horrifying look back at the kind of messages they would get from the general public.

It's double-length episode time! TLC has put together another round of Q&A, pulling questions from folks on video and twitter. We do have to question their choice of interview area setup. They put up a background and then proceeded to film with only half of it in the shot. With the family taking a barrage of questions about how they operate, we get treated to another recitation of their memorized script that they all learn so well. We also both agree that Lego Hair's "I'm imparting wisdom" voice is super annoying. They end with Lego making a "big announcement".

In the update(totally not a mini dig or anything haha), Whitney guides us through Pest's last chance effort to have his court case thrown out. Just be aware, the claims he made have more holes in them than his prison-issued undies.

We found the Discovery Channel commercial episode. We join the Duggars, alongside other Discovery personnel volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. We saw a good amount of inappropriate attire. I'm not sure when OSHA approved flippy floppies as construction zone footwear. It wasn't all just swinging hammers, we watched a large chunk of the family roast Josh on camera.

In our Dig, we look at Billy G's message to alumni: the most important battle is with that damn tongue of yours! The crucial lesson of "Taming your Tongue" is to just stay quiet about anything problematic. And always remember: the real problem is you. It's the worst when you tell people the truth if it makes them look bad. You're only allowed to bring bad things up to the person who did them, and YOU are the one who has to ask for forgiveness. Should probably watch Somebody Feed Phil to cleanse the palate after that.

There's lots of Duggars to choose to center an episode around, yet who got picked? Our favorite duo? No. The Duggirls? No. We got an episode focusing on Pest and Lego Hair. Cringe warning is advised. We watch Pest try to put together a grill and then use it to teach life lessons. For Lego Hair's birthday Cannon takes him to get an allergy test and, oddly, kinda shames him for his weight.

In our Dig, we look at more ways that old Billy G's system allows for rampant abuse by insisting on only giving a good report of other Christians (Matthew 18). Don't even think about talking to other people, because that obviously means you don't love the lord.

We get the full Fundie Family Experience this week. It's a Bates-Duggars event. Some kids get to fiddlin'. Some participate in Whitney's bloodsport of choice:4-square. The dads get to pat each other on the back for having so many kids. We watch a very red-faced Bates boy get so uncomfortable when he gets to sit next to a young woman that's not in his family.

In our Dig, we look into hospitality within IBLP. What they say it is for, the rewards you get for it, and the copious amounts of rules and strings that are attached to it. Put out your best peppered turkey, because we're hosting, but for the lord.

Watch as Lego forgets to send the dress code memo to the rest of the family at a "Christian media event." We get to watch Duggar Time happen and the impact it has on the crew. The brood rolls into the Georgia Aquarium and get a meet n' greet with a couple of penguins. We get a multitude of Jinger faces and watch Cannon get her engine revved up for her man in a wetsuit...ew (I didn't even like typing that).

A couple of episodes ago we saw Jill "teaching" some young kids in a blue polo with the Children's Institute logo on it. In this Dig, we explore what exactly that is and how it was totally better "back in my day"! It seems a little like Billy G's version of VBS...V.I.B.L.P.S. if you will.

Whoa! The storied Duggar moments were on deck in this episode. Cannon's celebrity crush just invited the brood to come to HIS church in Atlanta. While they were rehearsing, we witnessed "The Fall"! Jason fell into the orchestra pit, and we get a clear view of why Jackson is such a sweet, thoughtful child. We proceed to watch Cannon, just out putting on a show for all the people on the lake. It was so risque that they had to censor it. Duggars Gone Wild, Woo!

In our Dig, we are at part 2 of ALERT. We explore the cost and content of the different phases of the program. We hear accounts from folks that were participants in it, and see how the program is getting on these days.

Cannon really had to clean up her rep these last couple episodes. She can't have us thinking that she doesn't do anything. She was reading prenap stories and now we watch her doing homeschool with the Little Ones. The pop-up did say that Jessa helps, "occasionally." Sure, Jan. It’s ATI Conference time! We get a flash of the Lost Boys at Alert Cadet Camp. The "little ladies" are, of course, taking care of children. The whole crew attends an "International Day" at a local Elementary School. We watch them make "torteelyuhs".

In our Dig, we take a look at the genesis of the ALERT Academy and ALERT Cadet program. It's so inspirational it made IBLP Dads weep. We look at how they sell the Cadet program as: it's just Boy Scouts with a splash of religion. Behind the scenes it's a group based in dogma to develop a righteous army for the Lord...with Smores!
