Fans of TLC’s Doubling Down With the Derricos show a clear preference for the Derrico family over the Busby family from OutDaughtered. While both families have multiple children, viewers seem to be more drawn to the Derrico family for several reasons.
Deon Derrico’s children range in age from four to 18, with the oldest being Darian at 18 and the youngest being five and four years old. This age range aligns closely with the Busby quints, who are nine years old, and Blayke, who is 13. The similarity in age groups allows viewers to make comparisons and form preferences.
Fans who voiced their opinions on Reddit expressed that they found the Derrico children to be more respectful and well-behaved compared to the Busby children. They praised the Derrico children for their respectful and proper way of speaking, even among the youngest ones. In contrast, some viewers felt that the Busby children exhibited disrespect through their interactions with adults and lacked proper table manners, citing instances like screaming in restaurants and speaking in a manner below their age level.
The behavior of the Busby children, such as yelling in a sushi restaurant and their reported difficulty in reading at their grade level, disappointed some viewers. On the other hand, fans appreciated the Derrico children’s respectful behavior, their ability to clean up after themselves, and their consideration for others.
These preferences may stem from viewers’ perceptions of education, behavior, and manners portrayed by the two families. While opinions on this matter may vary, it is clear that fans of Doubling Down With the Derricos tend to appreciate the demeanor and behavior of the Derrico children more than those of the Busby children featured on OutDaughtered.
