I’m avoiding whatever is happening in the US right now. I came across this show. I’ve never watched it.
What do the Peas think? I think it’s tragic how sheltered these kids seemed to have been kept. One of the daughter’s wants to go to college. It seems like mom doesn’t really want her to go.
How did the older son ever get a chance to meet let alone marry someone?

I watched the first season and will soon watch the 2nd. It is almost painful to watch the oldest son.
The whole thing comes off very scripted to me. VERY. But yet I still watched it all, and will continue to do so.

i watched the first season & I will watch the second, but i agree something seems off with this family
mom is VERY controlling & dad does not know how to see shades of grey in anything

It is interesting to see what the older kids are doing now. At least three have broken away, two probably because of the show. The oldest boy was only allowed to see his siblings if he agreed to do the show. LOTS of dysfunction when you read about them in real life. I have a feeling the show has at least given the kids a chance at a “normal “ life, probably not what the parents intended when they were looking for fame.

Fundies are my guilty pleasure!!! And reality tv fundies are the best!!!
It was extremely scripted... and a lot of people have accused the daughter in law of wanting this show and stirring the drama pot... she did an AMA on IG and said they only agreed to do the show so her dh could see his siblings... she has taken on a lot of the blame and hate... because her family broke away.. and she in turn helped dh break away.. and also the 2 sibs...
I didnt like her at 1st... but now I really feel for her..
I dont want to spoil it but if you could see Micah Plath now!!!
Also the small country home was just for the show... the family actually lives in the city.. in a bigger house.. not sure why they did that but... image i guess...
I will be watching season 2... cant wait

I'm on season one, episode 6.
Are there older siblings that aren't on the show?
I can't decide if I like it or not! But I'm watching!
