I've been watching this show long before it became a media obsession. There is something absolutely fascinating about this family with its gaggle of children...and I don't even like kids!
This last episode was a tense hour of watching while we (the viewers) were waiting for the 'big announcement' which was inevitably a divorce. They seemed to talk around it for quite a while although we all really knew what was going to happen.
What I found the most disturbing is that while I was watching I couldn't wait to figure out what was going to happen. Figure out the mystery and then you realize -- these are real people. This isn't some scripted drama without consequences.
And I feel bad for Gosselins. Yes, I do think they let their semi-fame get to their heads and yes, I think that it could have been a big reason for their impending divorce but they are still real people. And now they are being criticized by people who know nothing about them. Kate has always been such a bitch and Jon has always been a passive guy and they haven't changed that much (except they both got prettier...but that's what money does!).
So really I just think its sad. If you didn't watch before, I think you should leave them alone! Get them out of tabloids and let them be!

I'm not a watcher of them but I have recently found the storyline entertaining to say the least. They are real people - making shit loads of money to put their life on the tube. And, although I can't give too much of an opinion of their lives b/c I don't watch it that often, I know how hard it is to have little kids. And, to have 8 of them - of course marriage is hard! And, the kids are at the hardest age! They need counseling before they need any more fame.
