It's rarely about the people. And the more I read about the show, the more I understand that even the producers aren't terribly concerned about the people. They look for many other things in choosing a family. First is location... Hebert's location was perfect. The producers sat down months beforehand and made up a shopping list of what they wanted: Pacific Northwest, rural, forest. The situation with the "basement house" was also perfect... It was something unique. Hebert's arrest was a minor thing when compared to all of the other factors the producers were looking at.<BR/><BR/>On Hebert as a guardian: As soon as those kids were placed in his care, the bad habits should've been kicked. If he was having trouble staying away from booze and marijuana, then he should've asked for help. I have no patience with parents who get high when there are kids to care for.Idaho Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466078882752412292noreply@blogger.com
