John David Duggar: Whom Has He Courted?
Do you ever have a moment when you suddenly remember that one of the Duggars has slipped your mind?
You wake up in a cold sweat and exclaim: “Wait? What is Jana’s twin, John David Duggar up to these days?! Who is John David Duggar courting?!”
Let us put your minds at ease — or, you know, as close as we can get where the Duggars are concerned — with a look at John David Duggar’s rumored courting history. Remember, new episodes of Counting On are coming sooner than you think!
A courting history is, of course, like a dating history but if you’re in a deeply controlling fertility cult and, instead of rescuing you and your siblings from it, America just watches it on TV.
Courting comes with rules, like forbidding the those who are courting to be alone together.
And, of course, the infamous side-hugs, because hugging people from the front like all humans have hugged since the dawn of time is how the devil gets you, or something.
It’s designed to give controlling patriarchs like Jim Bob absolute control over their families and to encourage intensely sexually frustrated teenagers to be so desperate for relief that they leap at the chance to marry young.
John David Duggar, like his twin sister, Jana, is 27.
Also like Jana, he’s conspicuously single.
In a normal family, there are people who don’t date and plenty of people who never get married or even intend to, especially when they’re still in their twenties.
For the Duggars, though, that makes John David and Jana both into something like old maids.
New episodes of Counting On are coming in September.
(September 11th, actually, which will never not be an awkward time to have anything, whether it’s a birthday or a season premiere).
Jana Duggar has passed up plenty of courtships, and John David has kept whatever exists of his courting life under wraps.
Rumor suggests, however, that there will be more courtship news in upcoming episodes, and we could finally get to meet a confirmed courtship of John David’s.
Now, the most recent rumored courting that John David did was with Tabitha Paine.
Tabitha Paine is the sister-in-law of Erin Bates, of Bringing Up Bates, because we didn’t get enough “quiverfull” maniacs from the Duggars and needed more reasons to have trouble getting to sleep at night.
Now, Tabitha denied the rumor and claimed that the two of them were just hanging out because she was, at the time, working for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar as a tutor for their children.
That’s a shame, because Tabitha Paine is a great name.
Now if you’ll remember back to November 2014, John David was seen having dinner with a brunette.
It turned out that the girl, only identified through an Instagram name that she’s since changed, was just a friend of the Duggar family and that the two of them were not courting.
(That’s interesting, since Mike Pence is no Duggar but he wouldn’t dare be caught dining with a woman who isn’t his wife, for creepy reasons)
In 2015, Jim Bob actually spoke about that, making it clear that John David wasn’t courting anyone at the time but that he was a great catch.
(More like bait to add to the ever-growing Duggar family tree)
And then, just last year, John David’s sister Jessa was strongly hinting that Jinger knew more about John David’s love life than anyone else did, and that he had some sort of courtship (or something) going on.
This was on Counting On, so we imagine that there was something to it … or they were just trying to cover for his lack of a love life.
The very latest that we’ve heard about John David’s love life was last month, when he said that his imagined proposal would be more impressive than Austin Forsyth’s.
But, like … knowing how you want to propose (in his case, he likes planes, so probably on a plane) and knowing to whom you want to propose are very different things.
Either from fans of the series or from his family, John David Duggar has to be feeling pressure to start courting in earnest.
If he isn’t courting and if he doesn’t want to court, that’s fine, no matter what expectations his awful father has of him.
But if he is courting someone in private, maybe she’s camera-shy or doesn’t want to be famous.
If so, good for John David — he can marry her and escape from the Duggar nightmare as much as possible without cutting all ties, since he and his bride wouldn’t be appearing on camera.
Or maybe he’s been waiting until he courts someone truly special before he introduces her to his whole family or to viewers.
It could be that he’ll reveal her on one of these new episodes.

Sean Spicer: Being COURTED for Dancing With The Stars! (Please Let This Happen!)
It looks like Dancing With The Stars might be about to get a whole lot … Spicey-er.
We’re not even a little sorry for phrasing it that way, because seriously, how else are we supposed to express our excitement — because DWTS is actively courting Sean Spicer.
We hope that the folks at ABC aren’t too attached to their mini-fridges, though.
Spicer resigned from the White House because he “strongly opposed the hiring of Anthony Scaramucci.”
(He probably just wanted to jump ship from a toxic work environment before the whole administration collapses under the weight of incompetence and lies)
Sean Spicer had hoped to go into the White House with integrity, declining to comment when necessary but always being truthful.
Instead, on his very first day after Trump’s inauguration, Spicer was sent out to lie about the crowd size at Trump’s inauguration.
(Even though there were pictures!)
It was all downhill from there, basically.
Spicer was constantly used less to answer reporter’s questions and more to reiterate or defend Trump’s tweets or nonsensical statements.
He was a target of ridicule, not only from comedians (we will always treasure Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of him) but also from within the White House.
When the Trump Administration broke decades of precedent and banned video recordings by the White House press corps, Steve Bannon joked that it was because Sean Spicer was “too fat.”
Classy.
Mind you, this joke came from Steve Bannon, who looks like the cartoonish personification of liver disease and also like every single male NPC in every The Witcher game.
Still, though, that’s a toxic work environment and just a really, truly terrible job to have.
Sean Spicer may not be a good or ethical person, but we almost felt relieved on his behalf when he announced his resignation.
But now Sean Spicer’s newly “single,” as it were, and being courted by plenty of suitors.
Namely, networks that would love to have him as a commentator — if they think that he’ll be sufficiently entertaining for people to tune in.
And while Zack Braff tweeted out a joke that he looked forward to seeing Sean Spicer on Dancing With The Stars … it’s actually not that much of a joke, according to Page Six.
In fact, they report that Sean Spicer is being courted for Dancing With The Stars.
“That has legs,” their source said of the rumor.
If you think that this is somehow beneath the dignity of Sean Spicer … well, look at his last job.
But also, Sean Spicer has worn a bunny costume before for the White House’s Easter celebration (under the Bush Administration).
Just a few months ago, he hid behind some bushes on the White House in the hopes of not being seen by reporters.
(That didn’t work out so well)
He’s repeated blatant lies to the press just to soothe Trump’s ego.
In an effort to condemn Assad, Spicey accidentally made some wildly controversial (and false) statements that seemed to almost praise Hitler.
He also stole a mini-fridge from a White House staffer’s office after-hours, walking it back to his own office, because he didn’t want to eat in the commissary and no one would give him a mini-fridge of his own.
His career has been full of indignities.
Dancing With The Stars, at least, is supposed to be a little ridiculous.
And let’s not forget that former Texas Governor and (somehow) current Energy Secretary Rick Perry went on Dancing With The Stars after losing the primaries last year.
It turned out that he isn’t much better at dancing than he is at remembering the names of three government departments that he wanted to get rid of, as he was the second contestant to be eliminated on the show.
But if a current member of Trump’s cabinet was on the show so very recently, it’s easy to see Sean Spicer stepping up.
(Especially if they offer him enough money)
Neither ABC nor Sean Spicer have commented yet on the story.
But this would be a good move for Sean.
He’ll want to distance his brand as far as possible from Trump.
Even if he doesn’t want to come accross as “disloyal” to the man who thinks that loyalty is a one-way street that always leads to him, Spicey can create some distance by doing something endearing an apolitical.
Nancy Grace temporarily improved her public image as an accusatory firebrand when she appeared on Dancing With The Stars.
And we all remember Nancy Grace’s nip-slip, whether we want to or not.
We’re not saying that some dance moves and a wardrobe malfunction are all that it will take to redeem Sean Spicer in the public eye for his role within the Trump Administration.
But … it might be a start.
Unless, of course, he decides to just disappear completely from public life.
But that would be such a waste.

Kylie Jenner: Courted by Hillary Clinton for Support??
We’d never guess that Kylie Jenner had an interest in politics, but word on the street is that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is hoping to win the 18-year-old’s endorsement.
Clinton is trailing behind opponent Bernie Sanders in the millennial vote, and she needs to generate more interest from youngins like Kylie.
“Hillary has been really worried about her support with millennials,” a source told Radar Online. “She has a great relationship with the Kardashians so her people have been trying to get Kylie Jenner to endorse her.”
Two days ago, Kylie’s sister Kendall shared a photo of herself wearing a Clinton T-shirt, tweeting “Shirt by @themarcjacobs. History by @hillaryclinton.” She included the hashtags #MadeForHistory and #ImWithHer.

Kylie’s big sister Kim Kardashian has expressed enthusiastic support for Clinton, famously snapping a selfie with the former secretary of state backstage at The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“Hillary Clinton talks about how she never looked better in our perfectly lit selfie!!!! #LUMEE #LOVEHER”
Following a fundraiser last August, Kim tweeted, “I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country! #HillaryForPresident”
Clinton reportedly believes a Kylie endorsement would be a huge coup for her campaign and will help her drum up support among young voters.
“Kylie is the perfect age to support Hillary now and she has exactly what Hillary needs. She’s 18 and she has over 50 million followers on Instagram. Hillary wants her support.”
Other young stars who have joined Team Clinton include Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Lena Dunham, and awkwardly, Lindsay Lohan.
