Changes Coming To ‘Jon And Kate Plus 8′
At the TLC presentation for the Television Critics Association (TCA) yesterday, TLC executives admitted there would be some changes when ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8‘ returned in August. Of course we know about the obvious, but I wasn’t prepared for what they said next.
[T]he
couple’s iconic interview couch won’t be around in the new season.
Instead, the reality parents will film interviews in chairs – but that
doesn’t mean Jon and Kate won’t have company by their side."As
far as new people and places that may be cycling into Jon and Kate’s
life, we are taking it on a case-by-case basis," O’Neill said.But
she warned that Jon and Kate’s blossoming new relationships others
might not be similar to the headlines the couple has recently made."This
is real life. It’s important to remember that our cameras are only
there for moments in time, and those moments have limits," she
continued."Jon and Kate have never said they were
perfect, which has made them relatable and created an undeniable
connection with the viewers. We will continue to capture this family’s
journey in a respectful and sensitive way," [TLC president Eileen O'Neill] said.
I have to admit, I thought the show would just involve Jon or Kate alone with their kids. I didn’t think they’d even consider bringing in people they’re dating!
What do you think of this development:
- an honest acknowledgment of the situation,
- taking the desire to show reality a little too far, or
- not going far enough (since TLC is saying they won’t show everything)?
