They count on others to support them because their family's so big and they can't afford everything they want. Like these huge weddings with volunteers doing the work and supplying food most people would pay for themselves, TLC finished building their house and decorated and furnished it (did TLC donate the wedding dresses?). They rely on TV show money and benefits to pay their way but if something goes wrong or the viewers stop watching the house of cards might collapse. I still can't believe people know reality shows aren't real but decide to believe this one.

Daddy Duggar has complete control in what is shown. He doesn't want anything "bad" going out. Got to keep their squeaky clean image up. I would like to see what is not shown.

Ol' Jim Bob used that storyline to feature the house on the show as a free way to advertise it for sale.
They used Jill's wedding as the finale for ratings.
They'll use Jessa's wedding to start the new season for ratings. Jim Bob will "give' them another house to live in, just like he "gave" Ben a job.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the house he gives them is another one he's trying to renovate and sell.

I hope their marriage works out, actually I think he is 19 and she is 21. Way too young to marry, I hope he acts more responsible now that he is married! He has a big family too, he has a sister or brother only 5 yrs old, and his father is only 39!

Very lovely couple and nice family. I find it very sad many are bashing this family.

Well I could see Jana marrying a Bates boy. They have some cute looking guys.

I just made that same observation yesterday. All the girls are pretty and have nice skin and hair!! The show does seem to focus more on the girls than their brothers....
