The California mother of octuplets born earlier this year has signed a $250,000 (£152,000) deal for all 14 of her children to star in a reality TV show.
The most interesting thing about any of the articles I’ve seen on this is that there isn’t a network or any production details to go with the story about the 250k getting thrown at her.
250k doesn’t seem like a lot for all them damn kids, so why did she sign a three year contract? If the show takes off, god I hope not, then she’s locked in for two more years at a fairly low amount, right?

What a moron she is. That is all!
Just when I was thinking that there was no one I was more sick of hearing about than Jon Gosselin, here comes more publicity for octo-mom. She makes me sick.
I bet if they offered the same amount of money to do the show and keep the kids, she would take it.
I hate to burst your bubble, Acadia, but there is a network.

It’s a British production company. The show will be part of the BBC.
None of the American production companies would be willing to even go there. They are well aware of the public outrage towards this woman.
I believe the show might take off overseas, but I seriously doubt that it could ever be popular here. After the debacle of Jon and Kate, I think (hope) the American public has come to realize that this particular brand of ‘reality’ is overrated.
I also believe that the American people would be very judgmental towards this woman, causing any network that ventured to take her show to become the focus of the public’s persecution.
Way to go Britain.
Taking our sloppy seconds.
I thought the BBC only showed Gordon Ramsey shows
Now seeing as i’m not British I can’t say for certain, but I think the BBC has like 6 subnetworks (BBC1, BBC2, BBC America… etc) so i’m sure they show many many different shows.
Acadia has no bubble! Maitland wrote this. Maitland is the bubble haver.
