[goaskalice]

I'm watching all day while working from home. Who else is going to be watching the new season tonight?

[isabel]

Just set it to record and turned on the marathon.

I so badly want one of those kids to break out of their family clan and do a tell all.

A girl can dream! That would be amazing.

That takes it to a whole different level! I might have to do that.

[noodle]

I'm already watching. And drinking.

Side hugs for everyone!

That would be amazing! 

Also, I thought JB and Michelle were praying on adoption, but they are still actively trying for a baby?

[sweetday]

Ben's family looked so uncomfortable on camera.

[CloudBee]

I just started watching!

Why won't Jessa & Ben hold hands? I thought that was ok since Josh & Anna did.

I think they held hands when engaged, not when courting.

According to the People article someone posted yesterday, the couple and the family discuss the level of physicality that they are comfortable with.  But it boils down to 30 second (or less) side hugs until engaged, then renegotiate for possible hand holding until marriage.

I think each couple decides how much touching will happen.

[thebreakfastclub]

My brother is a huge fan of the show, follows their FB page and jokes that he wants to save Jessa and take her shopping so she can quit the denim skirts.

It is somewhat ironic considering he is covered in freaky tattoos and served time in federal prison.

[noodle]

Oh, John-David.  He's going to be the bachelor brother living with mom and dad, isn't he?

[pugz]

I am super pumped

Called it!  He and Joseph are going to be bachelors their whole lives. At least he knows what's up.

[allibally]

I've been watching all day. I'm sort of embarrassed. Haha I didn't get to watch this past season because I didn't have cable.

Well that's like 2nd base. You got to work up to hand holding. I foresee episode 3 to have lots of hand holding.

[pugz]

courtships are longer than engagements typically

[pugz]

I find it weird that Ben is always tweeting about how much he loves Jessa. Things like " I love you baby, see you soon!"

I'm like

1) you're allowed on twitter? Must have parents that aren't so strict

and

2) Jessa is going to read that? No, no she's not, girl does not have twitter access.

Also,they said he showed up at church 5 months ago. But they live 200 miles away? Weird.

YES! Super weird considering it's likeva home church i believe. Very small

[auberge]

That side hug in the room was painfully awkward. I literally covered my eyes in embarrassment for them.

She probably just happy to get out of the house. Lol

And he kept coming back even with out his family. Obviously he was really enamored with her. :/

[wambam]

I am fairly certain at least one or perhaps both of the girls is engaged by now, but that information hasn't been released.

So what is the deal with Jill? She met a guy online? For real?

I think they actually met in Nepal when she and JB went on a mission trip. Derrick lives near them in AR.

[thebreakfastclub]

Thumbs up on Jill's guy. He kind of looks like Aaron Rodgers.

That's some pretty hot booth and menu action for them though. Jessa was not allowed to sit next to her guy in the pickup truck last night!

[hereigo]

Son of a bitch. I missed it,

And by released, wambam obviously means announced on the Today Show.
