Rebel without a skirt! 👖 Jinger Duggar is wearing pants now, and while that might not sound like a big deal to you or me, wearing pants earned Jinger the nickname the "rebel" Duggar. 💥
She was the first daughter who decided to give up exclusively wearing dresses or skirts. In her book, which she co-authored with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger talks about her choice to wear pants and the research that went into it.

They decided it was too much before they welcomed their second son. Ironically, that was also around the time they returned to Arkansas following some missionary work in El Salvador.
There was some concern from Counting On fans that Jill was down there while pregnant and may not make it back home in time for the birth.
Both Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have shared similar stories about why they are no longer filming Counting On. It was assumed that the network had cut ties with the couple following some Twitter battles, but that may not be the case.
Derick went back and forth on the social media platform about the transgender teen, Jazz Jennings. I Am Jazz aired on TLC and because of the nature of the show, Dillard voiced his concerns and beliefs while trashing the teen. The network stated they were no longer working with him but never elaborated further.

It looks like Jill Duggar isn’t opposed to being on camera as she appeared back in Jessa Duggar’s birth special after she had Ivy Jane back in June. At this point, Counting On fans will take what she is willing to give, even if it is only a guest appearance.
Counting On airs Tuesday nights at 9/8c on TLC
