I only stared watching the show because of my girlfriend like most men out their. The new season is getting the best ratings ever. After watching the show, and with all that is going on only two things can happen. The show will end to protect their family emotionally, or it will continue with a divorce. Being in front of a camera when you are just starting your family is a big stress even bigger when the show is so dam popular. I don’t blame John for wanting to get away, and hang out with friends. Frankly I think there is nothing to the stories put out there to get fools to buy magazines. Think about it most people don’t buy magazines anymore they have the Internet for that which isn’t much better. Its really a shame for the kids, but at least their schooling will be paid for from the show. Listen If your on TV you will have people that want a story that they will spin anything from a picture or video. It’s a shame when it happens to a family though. We don’t need to pry into their life’s like that and think that what we see, and hear from a 3rd-4th-5th party is the truth. The new season started off sad for good reason. The first episode was put together fast to somewhat answer what is out their now in the so called news. Its one thing running a scripted show, but a reality show with kids its really a God Dam Shame all this is going on. Remember this show started about raising 8 kids, and how their home life is not who they hang around with.
