34. If it's nobody's business but hers, why does she have a reality TV show flaunting it?

First of all, I'm not convinced this poor woman really has much "choice" as to how many kids she's gonna pump out. I'd venture a guess that their religion pretty much leaves that decision (actually, all decisions) up to the man.

But more importantly, if she doesn't want anybody to criticize Billy Bob's decision for her to be a baby factory, they shouldn't be on the Today show babbling to the world about it.
