Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle bribed their 9-year-old daughter Josie to pull out her tooth while the family was at the dinner table! The parents have been appearing more regularly on season 10 of Counting On after their time on 19 Kids And Counting came to an end.
“Hey Josie, can I pull your tooth?” Jim Bob, 54, asked while the younger children were having lunch. “No thank you! I can pull it out though,” Josie responded.
The 9-year-old proudly told producers behind the scenes, “I pulled all my teeth!”
“I’ll tell you what. I’ll give you a dollar if you pull it out,” Jim Bob told his youngest child. “Do it right here right now!”
Michelle, 53, told producers, “While we were in the kitchen we realized that Josie had a wiggly tooth.” Jim Bob explained, “We don’t typically give money for every tooth lost but in Josie’s case, we thought maybe that would motivate her to make it happen.”
The family patriarch was fixated on getting the tooth out as quickly as possible. “My dad said, ‘I’ll go get the pliers’ and I was like, ‘No thanks,’” Josie told producers.

“Being the baby of the family Josie definitely gets a lot of attention,” Jessa told cameras. “Something like a loose tooth I’m sure everybody was crowding around.”
The 9-year-old eventually pulled out her tooth and received a dollar. Once her siblings saw that she got money, they all chimed in and asked for cash for teeth they had recently lost. “After we offered Josie a dollar to help her tooth out, Jenni came up and said, ‘Hey I just lost a tooth yesterday,’ so then I gave her a dollar,” Jim Bob said. “And then it looked like Jordyn was over there working on her teeth trying to wiggle them out. I’m not even sure they’re supposed to be coming out.”
Jim Bob and Michelle have slowly become regulars on the show this season and fans have mixed opinions. “Thank you for sharing Jim Bob and Michelle! Miss their presence on the show!” one fan commented. Another said, “People need to stop complaining about Jim Bob and Michelle being on the show. Nobody said that Counting On is only about the kids. Without Jim Bob and Michelle there would be no kids.”
Other fans weren’t happy that they’re appearing on the show. “Why are the parents on here now?? It’s supposed to be Counting On with the kids. Don't want to see Jim Bob and Michelle please!” one fan slammed. “I was really enjoying the show without Jim Bob and Michelle, not so much the last few,” another said.
