Duggar family news, rumors: Jinger's engagement and Jessa's pregnancy all for 'Counting On' season 3?

(TLC)News of Jessa's pregnancy and Jinger's engagement are allegedly all timed for ensuring that TLC will renew "Counting On" for a third season run

The Duggars have always been at the center of various news, rumors, and sometimes ridiculous speculations but the latest buzz suggests that the family may have timed news of Jinger's engagement and Jessa's second pregnancy to ensure that TLC will still renew "Jill & Jessa: Counting On."

The show, which replaced "19 Kids and Counting," is currently on its second season and it is believed that there are only a couple of episodes left. Rumor has it that the clan decided to announce Jessa (Duggar) Seewald's second pregnancy as well as shine the spotlight on Jinger's engagement to Jeremy Vuolo for the sake of giving TLC reason to renew the series for a third season run.

"Counting On's" ratings also appear to have increased over the past weeks ever since Jinger's engagement preparations started airing on the show. It's perfect timing for Jessa's second pregnancy as well, which seems to have gained more followers for the series.

Babies and weddings are always a good thing for television viewers, and in the Duggars' case, the ratings for "Counting On" could further increase as long as Jessa teases more about her second baby and Jinger continues to show off her wedding preparations.

The network is allegedly having second thoughts on a "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" season three, but due to the recent hype, the producers may decide to give the upcoming installment a chance.

Meanwhile, Jim Bob and Michelle have been constantly updating the family's Facebook account with events going on within the clan. The Duggar heads praised their son, Joe, for being a hard worker.

As fans know, Joe is helping out with the family's car company and in the photo, he is seen smiling at the camera before getting in a truck, his dirty hands and clothes taking the attention of fans. Some fans noted that Jim Bob did a great job in teaching his boys how to work hard and not be afraid of getting their hands dirty.

Joe is also one of the main stars in "Counting On" and as the seasons go, more of his endeavors in life could potentially be featured in the series.
