'A Duggar Bachlor Pad' Recap

Counting On "A Duggar Bachelor Pad"

• A group of Duggars flies to the Bahamas to do relief work following Hurricane Dorian.
• The Seewalds embark on their first road trip with three kids. It’s a three-and-a-half hour drive to Kansas City, where their friends, Brandon and Jenna Chapman, recently moved. “I like looking out the window and singing songs,” says Spurgeon.
• When they arrive in Kansas City, they meet the Chapmans at an apple orchard. The next day, they go to the zoo. Henry runs off a couple times, and Ben has to go find him.
• Back in the day, Michelle would bring perfume or cologne on car rides, in case a baby had a blowout and was smelly.
• In California, 15-month-old Felicity has her first swimming lesson. Jeremy goes into the pool with her, along with the instructor. Felicity does fine, until she has to put her face in the water.
• “A few of my siblings and I did not really learn how to swim, and I was in that middle section of kids,” says Jinger.
• “Our oldest set of kids, they learned how to swim,” says Jim Bob. “They took swimming lessons. And then the younger kids have all gotten a lot of time swimming at a house that we owned for a while that had a swimming pool in the backyard.” But a few of the middle ones didn’t have many opportunities to swim.
• “Duggars are not known for swimming,” says Kendra, who is a good swimmer.
• Jedidiah and Jeremiah show off their new bachelor pad. They still need some important items, including a table and couches. Aside from John, who moved out for a while to do pilot work, and Joseph, who went to college for a short time, Jed and Jer are the first Duggars to move out of the big house before marriage. “All the older kids, they have their own choice, if they want to move out or stay at home,” says Jedidiah. “It’s up to them. A lot of us, we love being at home.”
• The twins share a room at their new house, even though they have enough rooms to have their own space. Jed says that his parents were on board with the move.
• “When our kids get 18 or older, they have the ability to move out or the freedom to do that,” says Jim Bob. “But most of them have realized, ‘Hey, staying here at Mom and Dad’s house until I get married, I can save up a lot of money.’”
• Joseph and Josiah come over for a visit. The twins struggle to make the burgers, so the married guys step in to help. 
• Later, a bunch of Duggars split up into teams to see who can navigate through a corn maze in the least amount of time. The results are: 
• The Seewalds' team: 6 minutes, 25 seconds
• Jim Bob and Michelle's team: 7 minutes, 48 seconds
• Jason's team: 8 minutes, 38 seconds
• Joe and Kendra's team: 10 minutes, 32 seconds
• John and Abbie's team: 11 minutes, 37 seconds
• The Forsyths' team: 15 minutes, 30 seconds
• "We all made it through, and we're all winners," says Jim Bob.
