Oh, Adam Gertler, why didn’t you win “The Next Food Network Star”???? All season I was waiting for you to win, even before the stupid show started! Why, on the finale, when the judges discussed whose show they could put on the network the next day and your name came up, did they pick Aaron “Big Daddy” McCargo instead of you? Why did they bring Aaron back in the Vegas episode when he clearly did the worst job? Why did they seem to pipe in the audience laughter, probably from your pilot presentation, into his?

Food Network or some other network, please hire this guy!! 🙂

ETA: They did! Look for my other post about it!

The eight debate

 

Question: When watching “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” is there a NEED for a commercial about birth control? Isn’t the show itself all the birth control you need??!!

But seriously, those are some cute kids, and it’s a cute show.

As I do with most shows I get obsessed with, I found a lot of info on this one. Long story short: They got a lot of haters. There was some drama at the Television Without Pity message board and the thread had to be closed down, permanently, never to be restarted, and apparently someone in their family has their own blog talking about how horrible J & K are.

I’d rather just stay out of the drama on this one. If J & K want to document their lives (like they did even before they had a show), just let them. People are going to be curious about their kids, so why not let a crew film them so the memories (good and bad) last forever?

If you’re against what they’re doing, then hey, guess what? You’re free to turn off the TV. But let people who want to watch, watch.

Edited to add: I found another message board for “fans of reality TV” that shut down their J&K+8 thread. Sad.
