I have always wanted to go [to Scotland] and saw it through their eyes. I loved the cameraman they used to have, an older gentleman that would play and teach the kids how to do the sound. Can't remember his name.
To watch a video of the Duggars in Scotland, check out our post from September 5, 2011. (Click here to view.)

Any updates on the Vuolos in New Zealand after the huge earthquake? Praying for the people there.
ReplyDeleteGreat episode! They have a super way of spreading joy no matter what country they're in. I like Jim a lot too. The filming staff are really nice people.
ReplyDeleteGuess we'll still see family trips through the kids eyes now.
My favorite part of that episode was when a big burly Scotsman tried to get jim bob to wear a kilt and said a real man will wears it. Another Scotsman replied, based on the size of this mans family he has already proved he is real man....
ReplyDeleteOr something along those lines-
I've slept between now and the last time I saw that episode, lol!
Yes, how can they justify being around men who wear kilts? How did they explain that to their kids? I'll bet TLC put everybody up to it just to get a reaction.
DeleteThe Duggars were PAID very well for a vacation most of us dream of. TLC hasn't put the Duggars up to anything.
DeleteI think that person meant that once TLC gets them to places, they make the Duggars do goofy things on purpose, for our entertainment. Eat bugs, dress like a geisha, etc.
DeleteHi Ellie & Lily,
ReplyDeleteJust saw the news that a big earthquake hit new Zealand...any info if Jinger & Jeremy are ok? Hope you can keep us updated- thank you- Katie M.
That's 2 earthquakes since they got married!
DeleteI miss Mr.Jim.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but we don't care about their old vacation.
ReplyDeleteJust being honest.
You mean YOU don't care. I think it's interesting, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
DeleteThis blog is about favorite memories from individual fans. We're reliving past events and what they meant to us personally.
DeleteMy favorite memory is how much less critical and judgemental this blog's fan responses used to be.
I never understood why TLC paid for trips to Europe, Japan and China for all those people, including Mary Duggar and Amy? These scripted, all expenses paid trips, had nothing to do with how a FRUGAL overly large family lives day to day. Surely if TLC hadn't stepped in, this family have NEVER taken such a trip as they would never had the money to pay for it. Why do these unreal things?
ReplyDeleteTLC probably wanted to show them in some element other than what they're used to, but I think it backfired. Jim Bob always made fun of the other cultures and tried to get the kids on board with that kind of thinking, too. I'll never forget how upset and embarrassed Michelle was when he misbehaved in England.
DeleteMy kids and I love those episodes. Gave us a chance to see parts of the world we may never see in person, and the episodes were loaded with local color. Nothing boring on those trips!
DeleteA Duggar loss It is a VERY sad and emotional episode but it showed family togetherness and if you read the comments about it on YouTube nonchristians are saying that it was cool to see how the Duggars dealt with lose. How they wish that it would be that easy for them to deal with loss. Also paraphrasing " I am an atheist but I can see that the Duggars faith is helping them get through this I wish that I had faith like that" that is just POWERFUL!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard an atheist say they wish they had "faith like that." Are you sure that remark wasn't sarcasm?
DeleteIt doesn't sound like sarcasm to me. It sounds earnest.
DeleteJim Goodwin is a boom operator - that is why he shows the kids how to record sound. A boom is pole that has a microphone attached to the end - he uses his arms to keep the boom held high over the heads of the Duggar Family. A camera man wouldn't really be seen on set wearing headphones.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the guy in the first picture and Michelle both go to the same hairdresser.
ReplyDeleteIs Mr. Jim still with them? I thought I had heard he left because of the Josh stuff. Or was that someone else who left?
ReplyDeleteMr. Jim is a true asset to TLC. So kind, so animated to bring out the best in everyone.
ReplyDeleteWatching Ginger and Jeremy's wedding tonight. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Ginger is GORGEOUS. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM. May God Bless U! Thank u for being a SHINNING EXAMPLE OF WHAT A GODLY COUPLE/FAMILY IS. Love the Duggar's!
