9:56 - I think she looks best in the top left pic with the short reddish-brown hair. Not sure why everyone prefers the basic bitch blonde look.

I believe she earns her money selling her "brand" whether it's making paid appearances, or giving lectures. I think there's been a book or two. She is also a big-time conservative Christian and I know she would go around giving lectures at churches. (This is also the reason for her refusal of selective reduction.)

I wouldn't have whored my kids out to get those free offers

How is she making money to support those kids these days?

She's a reality t.v. show celebrity. She probably gets paid for interviews and she probably gets some sort of royalties from reruns of the show. Maybe she does speaking engagements?

She could always go back to nursing if she had to. But I really doubt that she has to. She makes more money being a "star".

I mean when she was fat and had short brown hair.
She looked decent with the spiky hair. Except the hair was bad.

She actually looked more like a Mother of Eight before fame hit.

Now she has full access to the best.
Best bleach color, extensions, hairdressers, make-up artists, spray tans, plastic surgeons, wardrobe stylists and excellent lighting and Facetuning.

They say it takes a village you know.....+ that doesn't just apply to her children.

If you look at her wedding pictures she was blond and gorgeous when she got married. But 8 kids took their toll - as they would on anyone.

Yes, she has had plastic surgery, teeth whitening, and who knows what else but she had "good bones" going into it.

Anything looks good compared to that reverse mullet she wore on her head.

I really don't think she's gorgeous. At all. She looks like Kate Gosselin just without the spiky hair.

How did her teeth get so white? I'd like mine whiter, like in the bottom left picture of her maybe a little brighter, the right side pics I think are too white.

It's the ones who manage to be stunning even as lower middle class Pennsylvanians with 8 kids that are really impressive, LOL.

+Totally agree with this. I think it takes money and TIME.

I think she had good features before, so de-frumpifying with a better haircut (and color) and losing some mom weight probably helped a ton.

Yeah, I don't think she actually had that much work done in terms of her features (perhaps a bit of a lift around the eyes?) She was cute before, just overweight and OMG that was some bad hair. Even a supermodel would have a hard time pulling off her pre-show brown hack-job of a haircut.

It's not like she was ugly. She just needed a good haircut and better clothes. Although it's pretty clear she had some work done, too.

She looks best in the photo on the top right, IMO. I don't think the lighter blonde + tan look suits her.

Despite her lack of personality, she does look amazing for a mother of 8 in her 40s. There's a whole lot of hair extensions on that head of hers. In addition to the plastic surgery (tuck, botox, fillers), she has a very serious diet and workout regimen that is similar to what a lot of movie stars do to stay fit. She definitely has a great body, and the reason her face and hair look so good is because of the very expensive work. I'm sure she needs a lot of maintenance on that image, too.
