Josh Duggar: Edited Out of Jinger Wedding Special!
When the Duggar family returned to television last year after being ousted as a result of the Josh Duggar sex scandals, it was with the understanding that Josh would never appear on camera.
For the most part, that’s an easy promise to keep, as like most reality shows, Counting On is carefully staged and scripted.
However, when the entire family gathers for major events, extra precautions need to be taken to ensure that viewers aren’t assaulted with reminders that they’re watching a show about a family that harbored a child molester.
As you may know, Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo recently, and of course, the wedding was televised.
The wedding episode prompted rumors of Josh making a “secret” appearance on the show, popping up in group shots and in the background as the couple exchanged vows.
In reality, the way the special was filmed and producers efforts to keep Josh off camera reveal a lot about the way your reality television sausage is made.
For the most part, real world events take a backseat to production on most reality series.
Scenes are re-shot; principal players are given lines to read, etc.
It’s only during major milestones like weddings that producers don’t have the luxury of making sure everyone hits their mark.
The TLC crew wasn’t about to make Jinger repeat her vows, or have several hundred guests wait while they rearranged the blocking, so as a result, their best efforts to keep Josh off camera briefly fell apart.
Josh wasn’t quite front-and-center, but he was definitely on hand, and his efforts to hide in plain sight resulted in a new level of grossness for a show that’s made “gross” its stock and trade:
There’s Josh, attempting to hide behind his 2-year-old son, Marcus.
Did it work?
You be the judge:
As you can see, Josh succeeded in hiding his face, but the result was a very weird crowd shot in which Marcus seemed to hover above everyone else.
According to the Daily Mail, Josh was seated far from the aisle, and no shots of anyone walking past his pew made it to broadcast.
Still, there he was in the background while the newlyweds exchanged vows, necessitating a toddler human shield.
Some might say, Jeez, couldn’t Josh have just stayed home? and while we agree that keeping any party Josh-less is always a good idea, we have an even simpler solution:
The Duggars could just stay off TV entirely! Problem solved!
Westworld Season 2: What Should You Expect?
Westworld Season 1 left quite an impact on television viewers.
On the finale of this HBO drama, we learned the nature of Ford"s mysterious new narrative… watched as a human finger was bitten off… and had our theory about the Man in Black confirmed.
What will all this mean when it comes to Westworld Season 2?
We won"t know for certain until new episodes air, but we"ve collected a series of quotes below that shed some light on what"s to come on Westworld Season 2. Click around at your own risk!
1. Season 1 Was Merely a Preamble
I think the first season is an amazing prequel and a good setup for the actual show. It’s a unique show because you really could make every season different, and there are limitless possibilities. Characters can never die, and they can be a million different people. I really want to see where they’re going to take everything – and if it’s going to be like the film, where there’s many different worlds, and what those would be. So I certainly hope it comes back. … I’ve had a glimpse of what Season 2 would be if we get picked up. I’m champing at the bit to do it. – Evan Rachel Wood (to Thrillist)
2. Chaos to Come!
The end of the season finds us with the stakes taken all the way up. If the first season is defined by control, the second season is defined by chaos. I think that’s part of what we come to understand Ford has been planning all along. Ford has set in motion what he thinks is a plan. The nature of that plan is something we explore in the second season: what his intentions are. Are they to let Dolores and the other hosts escape? Are they simply to teach the human guests a lesson? – co-creator Jonathan Nolan (in an HBO clip following the season finale)
3. Big Season 2 Questions to Consider
What happens at the dawn of consciousness? What happens when you begin to actually wake up? – producer J.J. Abrams, (to HBO)
4. A Deep Dive Into…
[The hosts’] construction and their power source is something we’re really going to get into during Season 2. … They’re closer to biological than they are to mechanical, but they don’t suffer brain death the same way we do. They’re largely indistinguishable from a human beings, but their brains don’t require oxygen – which opens up interesting possibilities. Their brains are not as fragile as ours. On one hand, their cognition is controllable and malleable, but on a structural level they can’t be killed in the same way you and I can. There are advantages and disadvantages to being a host. Season 2 we’ll be exploring more the nuts and bolts of what they are — as the hosts themselves are trying to understand. – Nolan (to Entertainment Weekly)
5. Ed Harris Ain’t Going Nowhere
They’re doing another season; they’re going to do 10 more episodes, and I will be involved. – Ed Harris (on the BBC)
6. Evan Rachel Wood Ain’t Going Nowhere
No one’s more excited than me to come back — I guarantee it! That’s the only clue I’m going to give you. … I know how our ending for Season 1 will segue into Season 2 and … wow [laughs]. That’s all I can say. I think it was always that Season 1 was going to be this back story and set-up — getting to know the park and characters. I think Season 2 is really going to be warp speed. The show might really start in Season 2. – Wood (to IndieWire)
