Yes, I do!  I catch it online since we don't have cable anymore.

I am still not sure whether it's "real" vs manufactured but Dean seems like such a jerk.  I don't like how much victim blaming goes on.  Dean keeps saying he cheated because he was doing drugs and alcohol, seemingly minimizing his responsibility, then he goes overboard with calling himself names which makes Tori feel bad.

The kids are pretty cute, though.  I love how Tori talks about doing everything on her own for months when he was gone when in reality she has tons of help.  I have also seen articles about how their timeline is off so that makes me wonder if the whole thing really happened or is just for TV due to their financial issues.

Definitely a guilty pleasure.  I may have read all of her books, too.  Haven't seen this week's episode, but it definitely has felt pretty manufactured so far.  Dean always seemed like a pretty decent guy in their other shows, but then again, he is an actor, and the production can always edit things however they want.  Flip side is if he was putting on an act for so long, maybe he did really hit a breaking point.  The "not enough sex" complaint from him doesn't surprise me in the least.  She did get pregnant within about 5 weeks of the 3rd kid being born.  Clearly, someone couldn't wait.

I am embarassed to say I got sucked in.

I actualy don't feel bad for either of them.  I think they are both such children.  That therapy sessions was like

Tori: you never say I am pretty

Dean: you never say I am pretty either!

Also, HELLO, they met when they cheated on both of their spouses-- and I am not saying that because you cheated you deserve to be cheated on.  Not at all, but she seems so shocked by the behavior it's laughable.

And I would bet my right boob that this isn't the first time he's cheated on her.

I would get sucked into this program if I watched, but the commercials I saw make me cringe. I couldn't imagine talking about this stuff on TV!

On a related note, Dean is the host of 'Chopped: Canada" which sullies my feelings on the show.

Also, I second the PP opinion about the cheating behavior - not that its a guarantee that a relationship born from cheating will breed cheating, but...it shouldn't be that surprising either. You knew he had it in him!

I watched their other reality shows & really liked them.  I'm ashamed to say I like the show too!

I feel like Dean is manipulating Tori into feeling bad for being angry at him (like that "headache" he had in the last episode when she talked about her anger)

I like the fact that Tori is basically publically shaming him for cheating by doing this show.  I think anyone who cheats should have to show the fall-out on TV. 

One part made me cry, when Dean came home for the first time the look of relief that Tori had for just a moment made me feel so bad for her.  It has to be awful to still be in love with and to still need someone who hurt you badly. 

I do hope they work it out, for the sake of their family, and I think they will.  But I'm sure that is not the first time he's cheated.

I root for them to make it, but seriously, I can't see how she would be surprised.  It doesn't mean it was inevitable, but certainly not surprising.

Yikes, I fell into watching this train wreck too! It's so pathetic but I can't help but watch it, I've always loved Tori... but Dean is such a loser.

And really, I have a hard time feeling too bad for her because I don't understand what she expected from a man that was willing to cheat on his previous wife and rip his other family apart to be with her. How can she think that he wouldn't do the same to her? He proved how little he valued his family. Yep, let's have 4 kids with him just because he's a good f*#%! Seriously Tori? 

I think the whole anxiety-ridden, suicidal addict in recovery act is lame too. He's just hiding behind it because he can't deal with the fact that he doesn't know what love means and he has no respect or himself or his family.

And those kids are on their way to therapy themselves! Poor Liam, he's so fragile and seems so lost without a strong father. Hattie is so stressed out, this environment is effecting her. Stella is the only one who seems okay, wise beyond her years, but she looks worried.

Oh these people... why do this on TV? and why do I watch? Lol!

This morning I started watching Tuesday's episode.  I didn't get a chance to watch it all (stupid work!) but I did see the beginning with the photo shoot. 

Ummm...does anyone else see major red flags with Liam???  This poor kid refuses to be part of a family photo shoot.  Maybe it's because he's got no control over the fact that there are cameras following him around outside (paparazzi) and his parents invited the cameras inside his home! 

My nephew is 10, his parents are divorced.  But I never once heard him say as such a young age that he is "stressed out" like Liam did.

Tori and Dean need to take control of their family and get the cameras out of their home! 

End of rant. 

PS - I will continue to watch, but I would respect them more if it were not on TV for anyone to watch.
