Kate plus 8? Not Kate + 4 + John + 4?
Reality tv has overstayed its welcome. In all this mess of media hype and drama, there has been one recurring story in the news that doesn't seem to want to end: Kate plus eight minus John. Let's recap: Kate fusses. John fusses too. Kate fusses more. John gets mad at Kate and files divorce. Kate and John share custody now. John's feeding the press with wild parties. Kate's "just friends" with her bodyguard. TLC got mad at John, releasing him from the contract, and now John and Kate plus 8 is now Kate plus 8. To think the madness couldn't get any worse. Looks like Octomom isn't the only lost cause out there. (C'mon, who actually watched more than the first show out of curiousity?) John & Kate Plus Eight is over, or at least should've been a while ago. I'm not exactly in favor of exploiting children. Kids need more of a life than a script and cameras. Maybe this will finally turn the situation in favor for the "eight".

OK, let's talk about this issue! Exploitation of these kids. While we're at it, let's mull over the whole concept of reality TV...
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started!
Yeah I think that whole situation is crazy. I could not imagine making my daughter live that kind of life, even if it's for money!!! I've seen kate in interviews and she has said she did the show to provide a good life for her kids money wise. Well now look whats it's done!!!!! I feel soooo bad for those eight kids. My heart goes out to them.
ReplyDeleteI agree the show should be done with. I used to watch it back when it first started because it was interesting to see how the family worked out. But, that was when they were little and didn't know anything else. Now, there in a family crises and everyone has to know about it. I feel so sorry that these kids have to go to school knowing that everybody knows there whole life. TLC should should just get rid of the show and give them there life's back.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Let the kids have a childhood. LEt them live an ordinary life, where they can grow up to live a normal life. Whoo, she had 8 kids, what about the family with 18 children, they aren't out looking for fame. Sure, they had their picture taken on People, or some kind of famous magazine. Sure they had "an" episode about their family. They didn't exploit their situation. Let the kids live their lives, Look at Michael Jackson. He didn't have a childhood, look how he turned out.
