Honestly, after all this hoopla over Jon and Kate Plus Eight, I am pretty sure that I can’t handle another reality TV show about a bunch of kids but it looks like it’s going to happen whether I like it or not.

Nadya Suleman, also known as Octomom, has signed a deal with a British production company. She, along with the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets and her six older children will be followed around by cameras during special occasions (family events, birthdays, etc…) for a show that will air on British TV.
Would you watch this show? I admit that I would probably tune in to the first episode just out of sheer curiosity but, beyond that, I doubt I could handle it. As with the other shows featuring the lives of children, I feel it’s exploitative and alters their real lives in a way that is not necessarily healthy.
There are SO many reasons I won’t even tune into a show that has this lady on it. With all the controversy surrounding her situation already, I’m surprised that any production company would approach her to do a show.
