Photo from TLCLittle People, Big World returned for another season this week and left us with the big, still unanswered question - Are Matt and Amy Roloff headed towards divorce like so many other reality couples before them?
Last season ended on a somber note with Matt and Amy both reflecting on the distance that had grown between them and the empty house that loomed in their future as the kids grow up and head to college. This week's episodes gave us few hints about how their relationship is doing now. The first two episodes focused exclusively on the twin boys' backpacking adventure in Europe.
The previews for the rest of the season indicate more marital tension, but you never can trust the editing on those clips - they always tend to make a big deal out of small moments. We'll have to wait and see what's in store for the Roloffs. For now, let's look back at the fate of five other couples who succumbed to the reality TV marriage curse...
Jon & Kate Gosselin - Unlike others on our list, Jon & Kate weren't famous before they went on TV and their newfound fame and fortune proved too much for them to handle. Neither has shied away from the reality TV spotlight though - Kate's currently competing on Dancing With the Stars and Jon is shopping around a show with Lindsay Lohan's dad.
Spencer & Heidi Pratt - The trailer for the new (and final) season of The Hills hints that there may be trouble brewing for these two publicity hounds. But, you never can tell with them - their first marraige was a made for TV stunt, so their divorce could be too. Either way, I'll be tuning in and hoping for a Spencer & Heidi divorce.
Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson - Nick, Jessica - What happened? You were so cute together on The Newlyweds. But, alas, Jessica's meddling dad and their career rivalries seem to have gotten in the way of a good thing. These two were trend setters - starting the reality tv marriage curse and setting a precedent for those who dared to follow in their footsteps.
Hulk & Linda Hogan - Hulk and Linda's marriage was a side story on Hogan Knows Best, taking a backseat to anything having to do with the promotion of daughter Brooke's singing career. Alas, the family's dirty laundry slowly started to come to light - a high speed accident involving alcohol, allegations of cheating, and finally a divorce and cancellation notice for the show.
Jesse James and Sandra Bullock - Jesse James showed us that the reality tv curse can strike even if there's only one partner partaking in the fun. James appeared on Celebrity Apprentice last year and acted very coyly whenever The Donald asked him why he wasn't calling wife Sandy to get her to help with his fundraising efforts. Hmmm, perhaps we should have known there was trouble brewing for the couple...
Do you think the reality tv marriage curse is for real? Will you be surprised if Matt & Amy divorce?

I I really like watching Little People, Big World. I honestly think Amy is making a hugh mistake with Matt. IIt seems she is always trying to undermine everything Matt does. And in front of the children to boot. I hope they both get it together.
I feel sorry for Amy. Matt is a selfish jerk who only appears to think about himself. If I were Amy..I'd get rid of him. He's a nice guy but he always thinks about himself first. Never does he discuss his extravagant spending habits with his so called wife. I wish them the best. But, I really believe Amy deserves a better guy.
Matt makes impulsive decisions without consulting Amy first, but if you look at the outcome they went from a small fixer-upper house and having a small roadside stand to a big beautiful home with thousands of people coming for pumpkin season. Amy loves to travel Matt does not, he would rather stay home and enjoy the mega-farm he created. I think with-in a few years once Molly and Jacob are off to college they will indeed part ways, which if they do get divorced and the farm is sold their grand-kids will never get to enjoy such a unique playground.
do not let fame come in between your nice family its not worth it!
I would bet a weeks pay that Matt and Amy get a divorce. Notice on the last few episodes how they never appear togther? Only once were they in the same shot. One week its a Matt episode ...the next its about Amy. Looks to me like they are already leading seperate lives.
When I watch ...the Virgin island I started to hate Matt..he is very very selfish husband.Bravo to Zach..he has the gut to confront his father...
It is not the reality show curse---would you be able to stay with that money wasting fool think about it in this economic downslide and Matt is spending money like they have a money printing press in the basement, I' leave his ass too!!
