Jana Duggar vs. Jessa Duggar: Epic Sibling Rivalry Exposed?!
The strangest facets of life in the Duggar family have been well documented over the years:
They take fundamentalist Christianity to an extreme that would make Mike Pence squirm; they’re not allowed to hug members of the opposite sex until they’re married to one; and they believe uteruses should be pushed to their physical limits in the fashion of NFL lineman.
But there’s one weird aspect of life as a Duggar that’s consistently overshadowed by all those admittedly much more bizarre practices.
You may have never noticed this, but the Duggars are always smiling.
We don’t mean most of the time — we mean that with the exception of a seriously somber occasion like a death of the revelation that one of their own supports Black Lives Matter, the Duggars basically take their facial expression cues from Heath Ledger’s Joker.
It’s impossible to imagine anyone being that chipper all the time, especially when they’re forced to share a roof with 20 other people.
(The only possible way such a living arrangement would be bearable is with 43 bathrooms. We’re not sure how the math works out, but it does.)
But despite it all, the Duggars are always grinning and Jim Bob and Michelle’s kids never have a bad word to say about one another.
There’s no way they really get along that well, of course, and as such, fans are always looking for signs of internal strife
The most common theory over the years has been that Jessa and Jana Duggar don’t get along.
And now, In Touch Weekly has uncovered some new evidence that seems to support the theory that these two sisters aren’t as close as they would have us believe.
It all begins with the now-infamous Jewelry Box Story.
It seems that when Jana and Jessa were kids, Jessa would go out of her way to annoy the hell out of Jessa.
The situation got so bad that Jessa would often come to her mother in tears, complaining about the way she had been mistreated by her younger sister.
Michelle was probably busy breastfeeding an even younger kid, so shrugged the situation off and told Jana to make like Jesus by turning the other cheek.
As such, Jana decided to gift Jessa with her most prized possession, “a pink jewelry box filled with treats,” even though “didn’t want to” and “definitely didn’t feel like doing it.”
The story was first recounted in the Duggars’ memoir as a loving family parable.
But Jana offered her version of events at an ATI conference, the tale took on a considerably different tone.
“How I can I work this out, I don’t want to go through my entire life having this bad relationship, it’s not like you can avoid your siblings,” she told the audience as she welled up with tears.
“There are people that may hurt us, there are people that may have done things to us, and that…it is our responsibility to forgive.” Jana sobbed.
(There are those who believe she was also talking about forgiving Josh Duggar in that speech, but whatever the case, it’s a reminder that the Duggars’ childhood wasn’t as idyllic as they’d have us believe.)
Sadly, it seems relations between Jana and Jessa haven’t improved much over the years.
Fans believe Jessa is guilty of shaming Jana for being the unmarried “Cinderella Duggar” and unfairly pawns her household duties off on her long-suffering older sis.
Of course, the best revenge is living well, so Jana may want to give more thought to the possibility of marrying Tim Tebow.
Watch Counting On online to look for more clues that Jana and Jessa secretly despise one another.

Vanessa Lachey Details Near-Death Experience on Dancing with the Stars, Rumbas Through Partner Rivalry
Vanessa Lachey could not hold back her emotion on Dancing with the Stars last night.
But the tears this competitor shed had nothing to do with the alleged feud between her and Maks Chmerkovskiy.
Instead, they had everything to do with the time Lachey nearly died.
First, a quick refresher:
Last week, multiple sources claimed Lachey and Chmerkovskiy actively hated each other, with one source telling Us Weekly there’s constant “fighting” when the cameras are off and that each half of this partnership is “miserable.”
This tabloid cites dueling stubborn personalities for the basis of these disagreements.
Neither Vanessa nor Maks have really commented on the rumor of a rivalry, but the latter did skip last Monday’s performance show, raising some major eyebrows around the Internet.
He later apologized.
“As you are all aware, I had to leave the show last week to take care of some personal issues,” Chmerkovskiy Tweeted on Wednesday, adding:
“I take full responsibility for my actions and want to apologize to my partner Vanessa.
“We are both looking forward to dancing for our fans next week!”
And dance they did on Monday evening, doing the Rumba on an episode that episode featured the celebrities’ most memorable years.
As part of the pre-taped package before they took to the live stage, Lachey explained why this has been her most memorable year:
Because she nearly died right before it started.
“I was in the hospital on bed rest and then my water broke. I was only 29 weeks,” Lachey explained to Chmerkovskiy about what transpired with her son, Phoenix.
Husband Nick Lachey, who is also a contestant on Season 25, was featured in the video as well.
“I’ll never forget. She called me in a panic: ‘They’re taking me in for an emergency surgery. Get here as quick as you can,’” he said.
Vanessa remembers every detail of the harrowing experience.
“I was on the operating bed and I looked up and I didn’t know a single face and I remembered thinking I hope the baby’s okay and don’t worry about me. Just make him okay,” Lachey said, crying at this point.
She then went out and danced to a track sang by her husband.
“This song got us through some really tough times and helped us bond even closer as a family,” Vanessa explained.
Watch Vanessa and Maks crush their Rumba!!!!!!!!!!
Did the supposed feud between herself and Chmerkovskiy affect the routine?
Or the raw emotion of the moment?
Not really, as the tandem earned 24 points out of a possible 30.
On a related note, we send the very best to Vanessa, Nick and their kids.
What a scary experience for everyone involved. We’re just glad Lachey is doing okay these days.

Zach Roloff vs. Jeremy Roloff: Is a Rivalry Brewing?
On this week’s episode of Little People, Big World, Zach Roloff and Jeremy Roloff appeared to be bond over their similar states in life.
At the time of filming, both Zach and Jeremy were expecting children, with the former welcoming a son into the world just a couple weeks ago.
The brothers laughed about how cute baby clothing is and Jeremy predicted that Zach and Tori would NOT have a little person.
This prediction proved false, however, as we now know little Jackson is a dwarf.
Watching the episode (which you can do down below), one would think Zach and Jeremy were the very best of friends.
One would think these siblings were very tight and got along awfully well.
But questions have arose over their relationship, as some fans of this TLC series think a major rivalry is afoot based on which brother will inherit the family farm.
And patriarch Matt Roloff appeared to play into this rumored feud on Tuesday night after Jeremy and wife Audrey learned they were having a daughter.
“A girl will be a better influence,” Zach said.
“Yeah, I think so. She’ll be sweet,” Matt agreed during this conversation, but he then added, sort of cryptically:
“Your little boy can be the king of the farm.”
Yes: King of the Farm.
This pretty random mention got viewers talking on message boards and on the official Little People, Big World Facebook page.
It sure sounds like Matt is planning to hand the farm over to Zach because he has a natural, male heir, doesn’t it?
Is Zach Roloff really posing here with the future “King” of his family’s farm?
Stated a Facebook follower in response to this remark:
“That little comment Matt said about Zach son being the king of the farm I did not like! I’m sorry but I know Many don’t like Jer and Aud but I think they are a unique couple.”
Jeremy and Audrey just moved to Portland, Oregon in order to be closer to their family.
Did they make this decision with the farm in mind? Do they plan on spending a lot more time there now so that Jeremy can remain a contender to take it over some day?
Seems possible, doesn’t it?
Commenting on the latest Little People, Big World episode, another viewers couldn’t help but take note of Zach’s response after he discovered that Jeremy was having a girl.
“Check out Zach laughing and rubbing it in on Jeremy after the gender reveals shows he and Andrey are having a girl,” this person wrote, adding:
“Zach has felt less than all his life now he knows his dad will favor his boy. Matt even told Zach last night the little boy will be king of the farm.”
Jeremy admitted on the series that he wanted to be the father to a boy, but not due to any kind of inheritance.
He simply said he hoped that he and Zach’s son could become best friends who “wrestle around on the farm.”
Alas, it will now need to be a girl and a boy who do said wrestling, with Jackson Roloff already born and Jeremy’s daughter due in September.
But will it someday be these same kids doing battle over ownership of the family estate?
THAT’S the question!

Kylie Jenner vs. Kim Kardashian: Sibling Rivalry Heating Up?!
Days after the birth of His Holiness, Saint West, several media outlets reported that Kylie Jenner still hadn’t met her new nephew, as she was too busy partying in Miami.
It’s true that Kylizzle was in South Florida for Art Basel when Kim gave birth, but now, several insiders are reporting that the 18-year-old’s prior commitment wasn’t her only reason for giving Kim the cold shoulder:
Yes, according to Radar Online Kylie and Kim are in the midst of an intense feud.
The cause of the sibling rivalry? You guessed it – Kylie’s lips.
“Kylie has always idolized Kim growing up, but that’s turned into a seething jealousy between the two since Kylie got her lips done,” a source tells the website.
“Kim’s been very unsupportive of Kylie’s surgery and Kylie thinks that’s so two-faced.”
If that’s true, then we’re totally Team Kylie on this one.
A Kardashian giving anyone a hard time about plastic surgery is like…Actually, we can’t think of anything more hypocritical.
Of course, there may be a deeper non-lip-related reason for the rivalry, as recent numbers indicate that Kylie is the most popular member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, and Kim is reportedly not happy about being dethroned.
“Kylie’s sat back and watched her entire family bow to Kim for years now and she’s loved every minute of ousting Kim off the top headline spot this year,” says the source.
“She really couldn’t care less that Kim’s been in hell with her pregnancy, all she cares about is being the most famous sister of them all.”
Well, not caring about Kim’s difficult pregnancy is a little insensitive, but you can’t blame Kylie for being obsessed with fame.
After all, she learned from the best.
