Jill & Jessa Counting On: 13 Hot Storylines to Watch in Season 2!


The Duggar family is returning for Season 2 of Jill and Jessa: Counting On, and there are no shortage of storylines for TLC to focus on.


While 19 Kids and Counting primarily with how such a big family dealt with day-to-day life, the spinoff has shifted its focus dramatically.


Zeroing in on the titular adult offspring and their families, as well as the next generation of Duggars coming of age, there"s a lot to cover.


Here are 13 stories we are … wait … wait for it … Counting On!




1. Jinger Duggar Courting Jeremy Vuolo!

This is first, foremost and most obvious, as TLC has already promised that Jinger Duggar’s courtship with Jeremy Vuolo will be a major focus this season. The sixth-eldest Duggar and the former soccer star turned preacher should be primary fixtures throughout this season.



2. Anna Duggar Addressing Her Life

How the show handles the ongoing, sad saga of Anna Duggar will be by far the most interesting – and telling – aspect of Season 2. Is she taking Josh back for good? Did his family put the pressure on, or does she truly believe it was the right thing to do? How is she rationalizing that to herself, and others? What is their living situation like? So many questions we may finally have answered …



3. The Sexual Deviant Elephant in the Room

Will family pariah and international disgrace Josh Duggar make his way back on screen, as some sort of trial balloon at a birthday party or in a full-scale storyline devoted to his recovery from “sex addiction” and efforts to crawl back into Anna’s good graces?



4. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard … Doing Whatever it is That They Do

What exactly Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard do as missionaries in Central America has long been a topic of discussion – and controversy. Perhaps Season 2 of Jill & Jessa: Counting On will shed some light on what precisely Israel’s parents are up to … and whether or not they’re deliberately trying to present themselves differently than people’s perceptions of them might entail.



5. Jessa and Ben Trying to Stay Relevant

Let’s face it … Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald may be among the better known figures in the famous family, but they are vastly becoming less interesting. Not necessarily in a bad way. If anything, lack of notoriety can be a virtue for this lightning rod of a family. It should be interesting to see how they attempt to angle for screen time against her rising star siblings, however.



6. Jana Duggar … Continuing to Be Put Upon

In Season 1, we saw a great deal (but never enough!) of Jana, the eldest Duggar daughter, sometimes referred to as the “Cinderella Duggar.” Producers made it very obvious that they were trying to show how Jana does things other than raise her siblings, including home improvement projects and coordinating a wide variety of activities. However, Jinger’s courtship further confirms that Jana is quite literally always the bridemaid and never the bride … and that the bridesmaid likely picks up the slack for everyone else.

Nick Young Hates on Cheating Rumors, Loves Life

Nick Young is still loving life after cheating on Iggy Azalea. 


Iggy has managed to keep her cool with Young after learning that he cheated on her with his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green. 



After rumors swirled for months that Young had been cheating on Azalea, the rumors became facts when it emerged that Keonna Green was four-months pregnant with Young’s baby. 


As much as Nick would like to put this down to a “lapse in judgement,” Iggy knew it was time to move on from him. 


That she did and let her fans know via Twitter that the relationship was really over. 


“Unfortunately although I love Nick and have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him – it’s become apparent in the last few weeks I am unable to,” she shared with followers.


“I genuinely wish Nick the best.”


“It’s never easy to part ways with the person you planned you’re entire future with, but futures can be rewritten and as of today mine is a blank page.”


Any way you look at it, Iggy stayed in the relationship way too long and should have gotten out sooner, but she was obviously blinded by love. 


It’s just a shame that Young abused her trust. 


Young had some views of his own for his ex and decided to share them over the weekend on Twitter.


“If you perfect then be perfect I live in a world where ppl f–k up learn from it and move on,” he wrote to his 369,000 followers on Friday.


“That’s life … hate me or love me I’m still going to love life man.”


That doesn’t sound like much of an apology. Right?!


It’s difficult to understand how someone really feels through tweets, but it certainly seems like he isn’t all that bothered about Iggy moving.


What do you think about all of this?


Did Iggy make a lucky escape?


Hit the comments.


Amber Portwood Deletes Rant About Matt Baier, Pledges No Negativity

His named has been tainted since first appearing on Teen Mom.


Matt Baier recently responded to an interview his son, Chris gave to Radar Online, in which the 26-year-old called the Boston native “the ultimate con artist.”



Baier released a statement last week to Real Mr. Housewife in order to “set the record straight:”


“Typically I don’t respond to articles about me and have kept silent on all the rumors and gossip that have bene perpetuated about me; however, with this being about my son, I had to set the record straight on this.


“On the surface, this seems like a scathing article, depicting a 25-year-old man who is really hurt and so forth.


“That’s actually not what happened. What actually happened is he was contacted by the press numerous times in the last six moths or so and offered money to say bad things about me.


“Him and I talked about this and he contacted me about it.”


Portwood continues to stick by her man, tweeting on June 30th, “And we sit back and laugh..flip our houses and love our life.”


Later, she wrote, “I’m done with my rant now..sending love always.”



it appears that Portwood had more to say, but went back and deleted what she had posted.


“Had to delete..just felt too negative,” she decided.


Portwood has come to her fiance’s defense several times, whether he was being slammed by Portwood’s baby daddy, Gary Shirley, or one of his own baby mamas.


The couple’s wedding is still planned for this October, despite the media sh*t storm.


“Amber and I are doing well and have never been in a better place together.


“We are continuing to look forward to our wedding and spending the rest of our lives together,” he told Real Mr. Housewife.


Chris held nothing back in his interview, in which he called his estranged father an “evil man” and said he hopes that he’s “nothing” like Baier.


“I would never do what he’s done.”
