I know everyone's been talking about it, but the season premiere last Sunday had me down all week. Even with all the media hype, I thought the show would be just another normal episode. I at least expected to see them put on a happy face for the cameras. But then the show started, and it was all about how their marriage was falling apart and they were barely speaking to each other. It was way better than a magazine article could be. I actually felt sorry for Kate, and that scared me the most.
The best part of the show is Jon. Kate's transparent in her desire to keep doing the show and pursuing her career, and it colors all of her actions. But Jon has made it blatantly clear that he no longer wants to do the show, making you think he'll just stop participating. But there he was on the season premiere, bearing his soul to the camera. The show was always an overly intrusive look into the lives of these people and it still is. In many ways, the show is better than it's ever been before.

Have you seen all of the other crap about them going around? Aunt Jodi and the uncle were on CBS this morning. Aunt Jodi (Kate's sister-in-law) has a blog that has been slamming the show as a complete sham. http://truthbreedshatred.blogspot.com/
Apparently it's all of the ratings and all for the money. I think the only people I feel sorry for are the kids.
I don't feel sorry for the kids because of the show (only if they divorce), they've grown up with it, think it's normal, the crew is family to them, and generally are always having fun, plus it's gonna pay for college, buys them more stuff than they could have EVER afforded and exposes them to traveling to places that most parents of 4 yr olds can't go.
Uh oh, BDub! Sounds like Nil is gunning for a reality show of her own! ;-)
Also, I still haven't seen this show ever, but last weekend Jer's folks were telling us that since they're (essentially) from Reading (we pass through Wyomissing every time we go to the almost-in-laws'), that everyone is all up in their bidness!
(Of course, they were peculiarly reticent when I asked whether everyone knew whether they were both having affairs...)
