Another Duggar baby story, ick. Blog readers know that I don't share People's fascination with the Duggars, although obviously a lot of people do. Clearly these covers sell well or People wouldn't keep posting them. The Duggar baby, Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter and Amal's twins were all on my guessing game list, *last week.* Rachel was on this week's list (along with a second mention of Amal) and I really thought she would be the main story. People is very supportive of the Bachelor franchise and as the first African-American lead Rachel is big news. It's disappointing (and depressing) to me that a Duggar baby is considered to be a more marketable story.
There will be a big Bachelor cover soon, however, featuring Nick and his new fiancee, unless they get bumped by a breaking news story. If my calculations are correct, Nick's finale airs March 13, and People's pattern is to feature the newly engaged couple as the main story on the issue that comes out the same week.
