  • Jessa Duggar to Star With Jill Duggar in ’19 Kids and Counting’ Spinoff, ‘2 Brides and Their Grooms?’

    Jessa Duggar has been at the center of her brother–Josh’s Duggar’s–sexual molestation scandal, with many believing she may have been among the four sisters he sexually molested several years ago. The same goes for Jill Duggar.

    Jill and Jessa Duggar have been the recent mainstays of the family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting. In light of the Josh Duggar sexual molestation scandal, TLC is scrambling to decide what they should do regarding the Duggar family and keeping the show on the air. Major advertisers, including Payless Shoe Source, General Mills, and Choice Hotels International have already pulled their advertising. David’s Bridal and CVS are the latest to withdraw.

    A recent People magazine report says TLC is actually considering a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. 2 Brides and Their Husbands would star Jill and Jessa Duggar, as well as their husbands, Derick Dillard and Ben Seewald, respectively.

    Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald tied the knot back in November. Their wedding only recently aired on 19 Kids and Counting, and drew in a large number of viewers. Jessa Duggar is expecting a baby on November 1st–her one-year wedding anniversary.

    Jill Duggar’s wedding to Derick Dillard last June was a huge TLC event, but not as big as the TLC 19 Kids and Counting special that aired before Mother’s Day, during which Jill Duggar gave birth to the couple’s first child, Israel David Dillard. That special pulled in 3.6 million viewers.

    Yes, Jill and Jessa Duggar are the big draws for 19 Kids and Counting, and TLC is hoping they can support a reality show all their own.

    But will this be too little, too late? Even if Josh Duggar–and maybe even Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar–are omitted from a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff, do Jill and Jessa Duggar have enough pull to make viewers forget what the family hid from their fans? Not only are people up in arms over what Josh Duggar did, they are appalled at how Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar handled the entire situation.

    Would you give the Duggar family another shot if Jill and Jessa Duggar wind up starring in a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff?

    Do you think 2 Brides and Their Husbands would get the backing of some of these advertisers who have already abandoned the family’s original show?

  • Jill Duggar, Jessa Duggar and Husbands to Star in TLC’s ’19 Kids and Counting’ Spinoff, ‘2 Brides and Their Grooms?’

    Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and their husbands might star in a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. That will allow TLC to keep the Duggar family on the air while getting rid of Josh Duggar. It will also serve to concentrate less on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who are both in the hot seat for the way they handled their eldest son’s sexual molestation scandal.

    As most everyone knows by now, Josh Duggar has admitted to sexually molesting five underage females when he was a teenager. It is presumed that Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald, along with Jinger and Jana Duggar, were the sisters he abused.

    People magazine reports that the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff would likely be called 2 Brides and Their Grooms.

    “The show had begun to focus more and more on the next generation of Duggars, anyway–mainly Jill and Jessa and their marriages and babies,” a source tells People. “That’s when the show got its highest ratings.”

    It’s been very clear for quite some time now that Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald are the mainstays of 19 Kids and Counting. Along with husbands Derick Dillard and Ben Seewald, respectively, and Derick and Jill’s new baby, Israel David Dillard, they make the whole show. The two-hour special that documented Jill’s dramatic, 70-hour delivery of her baby pulled in over 3.6 million viewers. Jessa Duggar is expecting her first baby on November 1st–one year from the day she married Ben Seewald.

    It’s clear that TLC is scrambling to keep the Duggar family on TV while not promoting a sex offender.

    Advertisers are already pulling out of 19 Kids and Counting, so TLC needs to make a decision soon.

    Would you watch a show starring Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald if 2 Brides and Their Husbands comes to fruition?

    People magazine contacted TLC for comment, but received no reply.
