John and Kate plus 8... what happened??

[Nettio]

I think the real issue is they've lost sight of what made people like the show in the first place. Now every episode is basically "look what we got to do/get for free!" and it's not something people relate to. It's hard to feel sorry for someone when they buy a million dollar home and then throw a tantrum about not using a coupon on a shower head. Or when they complain about spending 4 hours cleaning a fridge only to have a brand new one the next episode.

I do feel somewhat sorry for Jon because I think he's having a much harder time with all the negative press than Kate is. She seems to be perfectly content flying here, there and everywhere promoting herself. I'm sure it was eyeopening to him to realize that people are watching what he does and judging it. But they should have realized that when you start flaunting your situation you're going to have people turn on you. You're no longer that struggling family of 8, you're that rich family that happens to have 8 kids which makes your whining and complaining that much less tolerable.
