My Thoughts on Jon and Kate

There is so many people talking, blogging and posting on Jon and Kate plus 8, a reality show on TLC showing a family with a set of twins and sextuplets. Since everyone else gets to put their two sense in, I felt it necessary to do the same. While it is ABSOLUTELY NONE of my business about how this family/people run their lives, these are just my thoughts and many will disagree with me, I just want to state my opinion, which is the reason I have this blog in the first place.

So, away we go:

1) This show WAS great when it first began. It was truly based on the kids and how this family coped with all the road blocks that came with raising two sets of multiples. If you look at the beginning episodes from the first couple of seasons and then check out the newer episodes that run now, you can DEFINIATELY see a change of demeanor between Jon and Kate. It seems like NOW, the only thing that makes rating boost is the OBVIOUS tension between Jon and Kate. What once started out as a cute show with cute kids, has turned into a reality soap opera. While the kids are still adorable, the way Jon and Kate feel about each other is another story.



2) I don't think that the "reality" aspect of the show led to the demise of these parents. As stated on the show by Kate, "It probably would have happened anyway." She also incinuated that the cameras sped the process for their marriage failing.
