If reality TV has taught us anything, it's that people will do anything to be on TV. This includes being subject to humiliation and/or vitriol, whether explicitly (a la Fear Factor, a show about exploiting and punishing people for wanting to be on television) or implicitly (Real Worlders or whoever else who go on shows even though they know the vicious things people say about the people on those shows).

To the extent that those horrible stage parents aren't just anono-Americans, they may very well relish the opportunity to reclaim the spotlight by justifying themselves in three-minute sit-down interviews with Entertainment Tonight or whatever.

Sacha Baron Cohen duped them into thinking they were maybe gonna score the photo shoot gig for their kids.
