actually, I’m re watching it and the kids says “I thought you said we did it for the show?”
That could mean anything. Picture it this way...dad finds the little brat hiding. Then confronts the older kid for saying his brother was on the balloon. They just do the usual little kid crap and say “i don’t know”.
Then dad says “you guys will do anything for a show!”
Now on live television the little brat can’t think of anything to say so he just repeats what his dad said to him.
That is not what was said or what happened in regards to the sequence of questions. What was said, and how the Dad responded were completely different.
I watched it again myself and focused upon the two older boys faces and body language and their reactions to me was not 'guilt' at having done anything 'wrong'. They looked like they were observing a couple of 'directors' (parents) playing out a con job.
