Vasco was a Jon and Kate Plus 8 fan for almost over a year now...he can recite the names of all 8 kids...Mady, Kara, Alexis (Vasco's favorite), Hannah (Vasco's least favorite), Aaden, Leah, Collin (Vasco's favorite) and Joel. Vasco watched, with Alice, almost every episode and loves all other secondary characters as well...like Aunt Jodi and Granny Jenny.Vasco just read up on the series and all the other dirt about Jon and Kate...sigh...now he is totally off the show! Apparently Aunt Jodi got kicked out because she is too 'nice' on the show. The parents also quit their jobs and just live on the kids. Jon and Kate are sitting so far apart from each other on the interview sofa that they may as well be in two different rooms! There is also rumor that Jon and Kate are splitting up. Sigh...who's going to take care of the 8 kids?
It all started out as a fun program to watch, because the kids are really cute and Vasco sympathized with both Jon and Kate. But now Vasco learned that Kate actually has a personal chef, a driver, a gardener, a helper and a personal assistant (Alice did wonder about Kate's Starbucks coffee in every episode, how did she get it when she claimed to be so tied down by the kids?), this program seems too exploitative...Vasco felt a bit guilty that he (and Alice) joined the exploitation of the 8 kids.
What kind of world do we live in? Vasco now switches to River Cottage and enjoy the country air.
