What is Up With This 'Duck Dynasty' Craze?

Lori Crofford — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:03:54 +0000

It was last fall when I first heard about this show called Duck Dynasty. I thought, great another reality show with a bunch of rednecks. I wrote it off as I would never watch this show and I don’t understand the obsession with reality shows and rednecks. However, I shouldn’t be judging something without even [...]

Elise Testone was finally eliminated from Season 11 of ‘American Idol‘ tonight (April 26).

The odds seemed to indicate that she would eventually be voted off since she set up residence in the lower tier more often than not.

OK I get it, for some people having a lot of kids is a blessing. For me personally, I would draw my limit at 2 and I'm happy with the one I have and would be blessed just having him for the rest of my life. However, when I hear about the Duggar's popping out kid after kid, it concerns me.

I thought it was a publicity stunt, I still kinda do, because now they are shopping a reality show. Check out this bizarre interview with an Australian Morning Show.
