Emily's pieces are hard to stomach sometimes because they're so far skewed towards slavish devotion to the "reality" television universe, which ignores reality more often than not.  I tend to ignore a lot of that bizarro thinking, but I couldn't let this go without comment: "They are famous because Atz Kilcher, the family patriarch, is the father of pop singer Jewel".  BZZZZT.  The Kilchers are famous not because of Atz's daughter, but rather his father, the real family patriarch.  I understand our current website culture is centered on celebrity worship and historical revisionism and anyone not around during Yule Kilcher's lifetime will neither have nor want a clue, but there's just no excuse.  Furthermore, whenever I've watched this program, I've noticed that they go out of their way to avoid acknowledging that Homer even exists, let alone acknowledging that it's right down the road.
