Article: “Back for More”

“Jon and Kate Plus Eight” is a documentary about a married couple and their set of twins and sextuplets. The show is about to premiere its fifth season despite the fact that there are rumors of Jon having an affair and Kate’s cruel attitude breaking up their relationship and family. Stuever wonders why Americans continue to watch these frustrating shows such as “Table for 12” about annoying families with insane numbers of children. The pseudo-reality show covers topics as mundane as matching outfits, road trips in the family 10-passenger van, and petty fights between Jon and Kate. Critics can’t help but wonder how the parents really feel about the raising of their litter. The Gosselin family receives tons of freebies such as vacations, a tummy-tuck for Kate, hair plugs for Jon, and various other consumer goods. And for what? Reproducing more than any human should.
