"We won't be 'Jon & Kate,' say stars of WE TV's 'Raising Sextuplets'

[ccharles000]

Bryan and Jenny Masche have watched as the marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin has fallen apart on television, and they vow it won't happen to them.

The Masches, along with their six kids, are the focus of WE TV's new series "Raising Sextuplets," and they're well-aware of the media-feeding frenzy that has befallen another TV family with multiples, the Gosselins.

And they're using it to their advantage.

Jenny Masche told the Daily News: "Bryan says that it doesn't matter because we're a different family, but as a mom, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, that's scary. How can we protect our family and do this and have fun without anything negative happening?' I think we're both wise enough to learn from those mistakes , instead of thinking, 'Well, that would never happen to us.'

"We've put down some ground rules in terms of our marriage and for the show," she added. "For us, our relationship with the Lord helps keep us grounded, on the same page and focused."

"Raising Sextuplets," premiering Thursday at 10 (the same day as the toddlers' second birthday), follows the lives of the couple and their six children, daughters Savannah Jane, Bailey Elizabeth and Molli Grace and sons Grant William, Cole Robert and Blake Nikolas.

1. Weren't Jon & Kate also grounded by their relationship with the Lord?

or am I mistaken?

2. Oh no, not another one!

I hope, for the kids sake, that they don't become like that other family.

3. Pfft. That will last until all the free stuff rolls in.

Just wait till they get the freebie trips and cross-promotional "visits" from Emeril, Tim Gunn, and the "What Not To Wear" crew.

4. yup

5. if you're exploiting your kids on TV, you are Jon and Kate indeed

[Ikonoklast]

6. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I put my family under the glare of the media for money.

If there was no money or goods changing hands, would they do it for free, because it's such a great idea?

Other than that, what on earth could possibly go wrong?

7. Oh good grief. More glorifying bad reproductive choices.

No wonder nutjobs like Octomom think pumping out a bunch of kids is an instant meal ticket. :eyes:

8. There's nothing more interesting than people having litters, it would appear.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. Pimps.

Plain and simple.

10. Great. Another show glorifying Jeebus and freaklitters. Enough already!
