The Roloffs Split - Matt Cashing In

When the news broke yesterday that the Roloffs were splitting it wasn't really all that shocking. I didn't know they were splitting but when you watched the show and when you followed them after the success of Little People Big World you could sense the tension in the house and the relationship. A lot of the interaction between the parents seemed forced as in they had to do what was expected for the cameras.

Apparently Matt moved out of the house but not off the property. He wants to do his own thing and wants to be able to do it in front of Amy which is kind of a low blow. Just leave if you are going to leave. A dating site for little people has already reached out to Matt and wants him to be their spokesperson and is trying to set him up. Knowing Matt and his chance to earn a buck and some more fame, he will do it. I just hope he respects Amy enough to not bring his dates back to the farm.

I'm Not Saying He Wasn't Drunk, But

Matthew Roloff was arrested on suspicion of DUI about six weeks ago. Roloff is the star of the reality show Little People Big World which is one of the few shows I actually watch. The fact that it comes on Saturday nights should tell you volumes about my personal life. Now, it doesn't say that Roloff failed a blood test, only that he failed a field sobriety test which was administered after he had been seen swerving in his vehicle.

For those of you who have seen the show, I'm surprised he doesn't swerve that big ass truck everytime he drives. With all the gadgets he's got going on in that truck, anyone of them could come loose and cause him to swerve. In addition, how is a guy who needs crutches to walk going to perform a field sobriety test. There is no way he ever would walk a straight line, sober or not, and wouldn't be able to touch his nose either because he would need that hand for balance on his crutch.

Now, if he was really drinking and driving, then throw the book at him because he is considered a role model and an example for little people and big people every where. But, I would also be really sure via a blood test before I just accepted the results of some swerving and a failed field sobriety test in this situation.
