Jon and Kate Gosselin announced Monday night on their reality television show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" that their 10 year marriage has ended.
As cameras chronicled scenes of the eight Gosselin children getting cute crooked houses and at a rainy Mother's Day brunch, the couple voiced disappointed remarks about their decision to separate.
"It's just not good for us, for our kids, to be arguing in front of our kids," Jon Gosselin said during the show's episode Monday.
Kate Gosselin said the couple has been "dealing a long time with this," and said her goal with the separation is to provide peace for her twins and sextuplets.
"I just need relief now," she said. "I need to turn the page."
But will that new chapter not include a reality TV show?
The TLC show's ratings skyrocketed as tabloids shouted news of their rocky marriage. The show ranked No. 1 among the top 10 cable programs in the Nielsen ratings for the week of June 1 through 7, having snagged 5.94 million viewers, according to online Neilsen information.
On Monday night's episode, the couple essentially confirmed that they will keep doing the show, although they will be sharing time with the kids separately.
"How does the show go on? The show must go on," Kate Gosselin said.
Must it? Have the Gosselins extended their reality show welcome?
Isn't it hard enough for these eight children to go through their parents separation without the entire country watching?
What do you think? Should Jon and Kate Gosselin continue with their reality show?
