Hopes for a joint dating reality TV show with infamous Octomom, Nadya Suleman, and Jon & Kate Plus Eight's Jon Gosselin have been shattered when Jon Gosselin announced late last week that he was not interested in doing a reality show with Octomom, according to CNN's Showbiz Tonight.
The debate is up as to whether declining the reality show offer was a smart move on Gosselin's part. Hyla, an entertainment journalist on 5dollarprep.com and panelist on Showbiz Tonight, regarded the Gosselin/Octamom venue as a good business decision that would benefit everyone: "For him [Gosselin] to team up with possibly the second or third or fourth biggest story of this year, that's a reality superpower. That's huge! That's gana make the network money and that's gana make Jon Gosselin money. Business wise--great. For us, a bit of a headache."
However, I would have to disagree with Hyla and go ahead and say that Gosselin's decision was the right move to make. Both Octomom and Gosselin have become a bit of a joke in Hollywood, and if they were to team up, it would harm America's ability to take either of them seriously. Octamom is especially a step-down for Gosselin, who, thankfully has some sort of dignity left.
It's obvious Gosselin still wants to remain in the public eye, but I think he needs to disappear for a while on the pop culture radar before he comes back to make any type of show business deals. This guy has lost a lot of credibility ever since his fall out with Kate and TLC. Jon needs to take some time off in order to not seem like a shallow, greedy, almost-dead-beat-dad.
