19 kids&counting wins awkward award

My DVR started recording it again for whatever reason and omg I'm dying. Jessa is being courted by some guy and he went and asked Jim Boob and Michelle and then Jessa. Most awkward two minutes of television. Especially since JB started filming it on his phone and told them they "could side hug if they wanted. For 30 seconds. No wait, 3."

The whole show is awkward. Why I keep watching it, I don't know. #guiltypleasure

That show fascinates me. I mean, it's like Little House on the Prairie in 2014.

Jim Boob! Hahahaha

This show is so much more hilarious now that they're all courting. So much awkward. I can't believe they're still trying.

it's just sad now because those pregnancies probably won't last.

I saw some commercials for it, looked crazy awkward! Side hugs only! What if he ends up being a slobbery kisser?! That's a deal breaker but she won't know until the deal is made! Poor thing.

Yeah, what's the deal with no hand holding though? The older son could. It was weird though, bc since they "could" hold hands that girl clenched his hands for dear life, it was weird.

I definitely get no sex, needing chaperones since they're super religious, but the hands and kissing thing is beyond weird.

And no front hugs!!! We don't any accidental genital rubbing!!!! Hahahaha.

I was hiding behind my couch cushion....cringing from the awkwardness.

I was trying to catch up on TB for the day while watching it and I started hiding my eyes behind my phone. The awkwardness was overwhelming!! I just couldn't watch!!!

I don't watch but recently read an article! Side hugs makes me laugh. I think there is more touching i a side hug than a hand hold. The girls that are "courting" are 22 and 21. I think it is great to have morals and expectations of yourself, but I find it odd that a twenty year old girl is not a"allowed" to hold hands.

The hornyness in that house must be overwhelming.

The mom Michelle riding in the middle of the kids in the truck! Geez. Awkward way to shift gears...

Jenball717 · April 2014

Also, how can they really get to know each other that way? With constant supervision? And doesn't that basically say "we don't trust you even a little bit" to their daughter? No way will she uphold the standards we believe in unless we are there to force her to!

Dammit I watched this on Netflix and it was definitely my weird and strange obsession for a while. Hope they add the latest season eventually as I don't have cable.
