This John and Kate Plus 8 has turned into the biggest and lamest media blitz since the swine flu. I believe I watched the show once when it was supposedly in its charming state: a cute couple with 8 cute kids and a crazy life. "Wow? How did they manage to handle it all and stay so in love? Wasn’t it dreamy?" No, for me it never was. The whole time perched upon my sofa I kept thinking this production of theirs was pathetic and unrealistic. I never understood why so many people would tune in to watch a complete lie.
The sad thing is that maybe John and Kate plus 8 didn’t have to be a lie. Perhaps they could have made it without the cameras in their face 24/7 or without the developing pride and ego that instant and unwarranted fame seems to bring. With all the reality shows and so called stars popping up with something to share with the world that had they kept to themselves would have been more relevant, it makes one wonder if John and Kate and their 8 would have been more charming and viable if we didn’t all have to know them with all their business spilled into the streets.
