July 17, 2017 "Part 1 of 2. Daphne Oz digs deeper into the season's most significant moments, including courtships, weddings and births."

July 24, 2017 "Conclusion. Daphne Oz gets the Duggars' reactions to the season's most significant moments. Also: a game of "The Couples Showdown."

I don't know or care who Daphne Oz is but I am rooting for Bill Maher to host the After Show next season. I'm sure he will have a few things to say about courtship rules and humping for God.

Part 1:  Daphne Oz gathers the Duggar clan to discuss what happened in the last season. This should last about five minutes. Lots of nothing new is discussed except the revelation that JinJer bought a house in Laredo. Jana came down to help them decorate. I'm guessing Jeremy got all his anti-Catholic books out of the closet. They joke about Jana coming back to design a nursery. I hope Jana charges a lot for her services. $100 an hour is her going rate. Then they move on to Joy being married and she says it was an easy adjustment. Then onto Joedra. Not much to say there. Then on to the missing Jill and Derick. Daphne mentions the birth of Samuel hadn't happened yet. Then onto John who is still doing the same old things as always and then Josiah who is copying John's life.   Rehashing Joy's fast tracked courtship.... Nothing new here except Austin asking John for relationship advice. John the 27 year old never been kissed or front hugged virgin!

 --------- Skipping a lot here because there really isn't anything worth rehashing in a coma inducing TV show but I was glad to hear that if Jana has a baby she is willing to do so in a hospital. Also, when Ben says he feels helpless to do anything about Jessa's pain while delivering, I'll give him one word, EPIDURAL! Encourage Jessa to go to the hospital next time and get an epidural. That will solve both your problems. Jessa then goes on to encourage Jinger to have an epidural when it's her turn and Ben laughs. I think we'll be seeing a Duggar girl hospital birth soon that isn't an emergency, I hope.

Part 2: They start off with old clips of JinJer's honeymoon goofiness. I'm creeped out when they all claim Derick and Jill show the most PDA out of all the couples. Ick! After talking about how Jessa is handling two babies, just wait for the 10th, surprise guests show up. The Godbobber and Michelle enter with Spuddy and Hanky. Who the hell invited them?! The Godbobber repeats his desire for 200 grandchildren and then gets on the subject of his 50 page questionnaire for potential son-in-laws. He says he has to find out if there are any "non-negotiables". Non-negotiables, such as the guy has never voted Democrat, never walked past a Planned Parenthood, never ever talked to a demon Catholic, or put up an anti-gun meme on facebook. All those are warning signs of the devil. Too bad Josh didn't take that questionnaire before ruining Anna's life.

After a commercial, the parents leave and Kendra appears. Joe has to be told to get up and greet her. Moron! Kendra appears but then they go right into old clips of Joy's engagement and wedding. Next they play a game called the Couple's Showdown. Competitive Jessa looks like she's going to go off on Ben when he answers the wrong way. What's the big deal, Jessa? It's not like you're going to win your freedom from a cult or anything. When asked what they would like their partner to stop, Jessa has nothing to say about Ben. I don't believe that for a minute. Jessa is never at a loss for words. Ben wants her to stop being down about her weight. Jinger also has nothing to say about Jeremy because fundie girls are taught not to criticize but Jeremy would like her to stop doubting herself. Jessa and Jinger have been raised to be hard on themselves for some reason. Maybe it's the being blamed for Josh being turned on and molesting them crap. Joy has something she would like Austin to stop which is biting his nails. Lots of Duggar kids bite their nails and Joy sucked her thumb up to her early teen years. Duggars bring out the nervous habits in people. The game continues and it actually shows a lighter and more normal side to the Duggars which the actual show tends to hide behind a curtain of cautiousness and boredom. The Duggars should throw out the old format and just play this game every week. Joy and Austin are deemed the winners which pisses off Jessa.  I hope she didn't beat Ben too badly when they got home.

Two episodes for an after show and nothing was learned except JinJer now own a house and Ben is a germaphobe. With two little kids in the house he is going to be sick a lot. That might be the best reason for that couple to start using birth control. No questions on why Jinger isn't pregnant yet. No questions on what is keeping Jana and John at home living in the kids' dorms. No mention of the wayward son and Anna. Why TLC sticks with this family is beyond me. TLC, I found an amazing family of vloggers who could definitely replace the Duggars. They traveled with their nine kids, 5 adopted,  in an RV across the country for over a year and just this week took their travels overseas. I am addicted to their story. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2c4aUF3EoLwskydOBrrUw Oh, forget about it. Reality TV will just ruin this nice family. Just keep the Duggars.
