‘Welcome To Plathville’ Real Reason Plath Adult Kids Stay On Show?
Welcome To Plathville Season 6 is in full swing on TLC, and fans regularly debate the show online, including why the adult children of Kim Plath and Barry Plath stay on. So, what are fans saying?
Welcome To Plathville: Season 6 Of TLC Show Underway
As Welcome To Plathville fans see, Season 6 of the show is underway, and there are enough dramatic storylines to classify this season as a real-life soap opera. Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath are back on the dating scene, Micah Plath’s girlfriend does not want to be on camera, and more.
In addition to that, there’s Kim Plath and her new man, Ken Palmer, as well as the usual drama between Ethan and his mother, Kim. So, early on into the new season, there are already more than enough dramatic storylines to dig into, including the aftermath of Ethan and Olivia’s split.
TLC Viewers Call Out Storylines For Being Fake?
With all of the drama in current Welcome To Plathville Season 6 storylines, many fans are calling out the show for being “fake.” Of course, TLC is known for stretching storylines and exaggerating them for the sake of drama, and, the way viewers see it, there’s a lot of that going on so far this season.
In some ways, Welcome To Plathville fans, and TLC fans in general, have learned over the years to suspend their disbelief and watch various shows purely for entertainment value.
It’s common for cast members to behave one way on the shows and then another way on social media. However, the way many viewers see it, Welcome To Plathville production is trying very hard to make drama out of nothing.
Welcome To Plathville: Why Are The Adult Children Still Filming?
One question that a lot of people have is why the adult children continue to film Welcome To Plathville scenes. As viewers have seen with shows like Little People Big World, all of the adult children of Matt Roloff and Amy Roloff walked away from the show over the years.
So, a lot of Welcome To Plathville fans wonder what keeps Ethan, Micah, Moriah, and the others filming. Some theories are floating around about the Plath family wanting to “reinvent” their image. However, the one argument that makes a lot of sense is simply to keep the TLC paychecks coming in.
With the sheltered lives they had growing up, one can make the argument that the Plath children are not well-equipped for life in the real world. In that aspect, it makes sense to keep cashing TLC checks as long as the network keeps offering them.
Based on figures from other shows, TLC usually gives families ten percent of the production budget to pocket per episode, and that typically comes out to between $25k to $40k per episode. Even with a big family like the Plath family, that’s still a considerable chunk of change. So, it makes sense to keep milking the TLC cash cow for as long as they are able.
