Let me see if I've got this straight, and since I've never watched the show this is just a general impression.
Jon and Kate Gosselin had twins, and then a while later they had sextuplets, thus inspiring a cable TV network to give them a "reality" show (and note the quotation marks: virtually none of these shows are remotely real) where they cashed in with lots of free goodies from sponsors, but no one really cared much until rumors surfaced that Jon was cheating with some other woman and Kate was cheating with a bodyguard.
Then the new season premiered with lots of hype and the two were mostly seen separately and discussed in vague terms the problems in their marriage. The ratings shot through the roof. The following weeks, ratings plummeted because the episodes didn't really deal with the only thing about these two that interested people. Suddenly, this week, promos for the latest episode featured ominous talk about "life-changing decisions." And on that show the couple announced their separation, and an on-screen graphic said that "On Monday, June 22, 2009, legal proceedings were initiated in Pennsylvania to dissolve the ten-year marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin."
Does anyone else think that their eight children ought to be taken away from these two nutcases? There should be a law against kids on "reality" shows. They should be allowed to just live their lives until they're old enough to make their own decision to appear -- or, like that mysterious Osbourne daughter who wouldn't go on MTV with Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly, not appear. Now these eight Gosselins are going to be pawns in their parents' little divorce drama. Future episodes (they're contracted for over 30 more) are going to just be a laugh riot, aren't they?
