The Gosselins and the consequences of reality TV - USATODAY.com

June 2, 2009

These days, Jon & Kate Plus 8 adds up to one big pop culture controversy ? entwined with at least 10 varying story lines, depending on whom you ask:

Kate Gosselin is a selfless and sympathetic mother struggling to raise eight children ages 8 and under. Kate Gosselin is self-centered, shrewish diva who is driving her husband away. Jon Gosselin is a devoted dad helplessly under the French-manicured thumb of his controlling wife. Jon Gosselin is a rarely-do-well who would rather salvage his white sports car than his now-crumbling marriage.

The couple signed on to the show in 2007 to create a charming record of their family’s very unusual life. Or the couple signed on for a lifetime of hair plugs and highlights. The children, sextuplets and twins, are having a blast hamming it up for the cameras ? and banking college tuition in the process. Or the children are miserable under the microscope and are being exploited for their parents’ benefit.
