It seems like minutes until words are spoken.
“We’ll be back after the commercial break to see what Joey has to say.”
Backstage at the Helen show, the producers of Married Blind stand there, shocked. They were already dealing with the fallout from Amanda and Gary’s relationship and Amanda’s lawsuit that had been filed earlier this morning citing fraud; and were preparing a press release for after today’s broadcast in light of the Joshua and Joey Wilson fallout that was soon to happen once their divorce hit the newswire.
None of them expected to watch Josh get down on bended knee and propose.
“Can you zoom in on the ring?” Barry asks the cameraman who does as he’s asked.
“At least five carats,” Barry’s assistant says.
“Run a quick promo,” Barry barks.
“Sir?”
Barry rolls his eyes at the incompetence. “Clearly we have another show.”
“Right, of course, what would you like to call it?”
“Married Blind: Reality,” Barry says as if his assistant should’ve read his mind.
During the commercial break, while the audience waits for Joey to answer, the promo ad runs announcing a fall airing of Married Blind: Reality, leaving the viewers at home wondering what on earth it can be about.
Once the assistant has run off, Barry dials his boss and waits patiently for the call to connect. Once it does, he spills on his idea, confident that his boss will say yes. Joshua and Joey Wilson were fan favorites … there was a reason why they didn’t win.
