The Jury is out and I want your opinion! I see all of this chatter on the internet about Jon and Kate Gosselin and their marriage situation. First of all, I don’t think anyone’s marital issues should be aired out over the internet, but since its out there, I figured I throw this poll together. Personally, I think this whole situation about Jon and/or Kate having an affair is manufactured and its all for ratings. I’ve seen the season 5 premiere and my opinion has not changed. Think about it…what was drawing people back season after season? Nothing. The show needed something to get an audience, and it worked. My wife has been sucked into the TV hanging on the edge of her seat to see what happens. I on the other hand, believe there will be a miraculous coming together later in the season. After all, the Season 5 Premiere Monday night brought in a record 9.8 Million viewers doubling their previous high of 4.4 Million. Hmmm….sounds like it might have been a great strategy huh? In the end, if it is real, I personally think they need to put the show on the backburner and focus on their marriage and their family. It would be disasterous to continue to do the show “for their kids.” In fact, I think their kids would grow up to resent them and have the totally wrong priorities in their homes.
So, share your opinion here on the poll, and then if you want to leave a comment be sure to Join the Conversation, I’d love to hear from you!

My poll answer is based on my 35 years of watching how TV works from the inside. Ratings, ratings, ratings.
Consider me living under a rock – I have never seen this show, but have heard about it. Are the episodes online (what network?) and who are these people anyway? I will never understand why people choose to live their lives in a fishbowl. It’s hard enough to be recognized everywhere in your own home town.
Or should I watch Princess Bride instead?
Candy’s last blog post..Buddy the Dog or "What’s for Lunch?"
Where they option for both? I think it’s not only real, but the network execs are doing everything they can to capitalize on the issue. Since Jon and Kate are more than likely under contract, they have to be filmed. I doubt we’ll see another season because I don’t think that either spouse will agree to more torture, whether or not they remain together.
@Geoff – I didn’t think about BOTH. Great thought. I can see that.
