The Vancouver Sun has the Masches number

From some of Bryan's ambitions, I do believe the Masches are going to become Jon and Kate Part 2. Oh the joy of it all. What a trainwreck it will be. MWAHAHAHAHA!


Jon and Kate plus 8 spinoffs? Stay tuned for 'Raising Sextuplets'
By Staff, Vancouver SunJune 10, 2009

The Jon and Kate 'exploit your kids for personal gain' industry is only just getting started, it seems.

The Gosselins have their books, their TV show, their speaking engagements and their inevitable Octo-Divorce (TM). Meanwhile TLC, the TV station that carries their Jon and Kate Plus 8 reality show and enjoys their mammoth ratings, has also given birth to 18 Kids and Counting, Table for 12, Toddlers and Tiaras, and I Didn't Know I was Pregnant.

Now the sickness seems to have migrated to other cable stations, as is evidenced by the announcement that WE TV will soon launch 'Raising Sextuplets', a Jon and Kate-stye reality show about a family that had six kids in one hit - and received phone advice from Kate Gosselin during their pregnancy.

Bless.

"['Jon & Kate Plus 8'] has really changed who those people are," father of six Brian Masche told the Daily News Wednesday.

"It went from being a show about people who have sextuplets and twins to a show about people who have a show. Neither of them even work anymore."

"For us, we want to maintain normalcy in our lives. We don't want this to change who we are. We told our friends and family members and people at our church, 'Look, if you ever see us acting high and mighty, if you ever think this is going to our heads, please approach us and smack us around.'"

His wife, Jenny Masche, continued: "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?'"

Presumably, you don't invite TV cameras into your home.

But hey, if you have to, the Masche's might just have a better chance of staying sane than most, being as they're limiting filming days.

"Around five days of each month, when the crew was around, we got a little break from the routine; we got to have some friends around," said Jenny.

According to Kate Gosselin's sister-in-law, Aunt Jodi Krieder, the Jon and Kate Plus 8 filming schedule rarely ceases.

Jenny Masche is an ER assistant and Bryan sells salesman for a pharmaceutical company. They live in Arizona and have three boys and three girls in their collection of kiddies, and they're looking at their new venture as a time capsule of sorts.

"When we're 60 years old, sitting around with our grandkids, we can be like, 'Look, this is what your mommy and daddy were like when they were kids," said Bryan.

Bryan says his hobbies include, "shooting guns, blowing things up in the desert, and reading books about politics, business, sales, real estate, and investing as well as the Bible." He wants to one day run for political office.

The two became engaged after Bryan proposed to Jenny at an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game.

"We need to not only learn from others' mistakes," Jenny told reporters, "but have some boundaries put in place and pray for wisdom that we can stay strong and united."
The first episode, to air Thursday, focuses on the birth.
