Who would have guessed it?

Back in the day -- circa 2008 -- Cher was a devoted viewer of Jon and Kate Plus 8!

"I don't like reality shows at all," the Burlesque star, 64, tells Cynthia McFadden in an ABC News Nightline interview airing Thursday.

Her one exception?

"A long time ago I used to watch this very sweet reality show called Jon and Kate Plus 8," she admits coyly of the bygone TLC hit. "I thought it was sweet. I liked the babies."

The Oscar winner's fandom soured when Jon and Kate Gosselin's crumbling marriage made headlines. "I leave the country for six months, I come back and the whole thing has just blown up in everyone's face!" Cher complains.

"I just thought, this is not what I signed up for."

Cher is less enamored of Jersey Shore's Snooki. "I got a bobble head of her [at an event]," she relates. "Not too impressive. I kind of like people that do something. That are not just famous for...I'm not sure what!"

    Whoa...Cher is a dumb sap. Kate's fame came about as a result of her trying to conceal the fact that her marriage was over; she was afraid that separation/divorce would alienate viewers of their cute, sweet, "family show". So, if we know anything about Kate, it is that she will lie and deceive in order to get or keep something she wants.

    Yep, the show used to be a cute & sweet show. Then we all grew to actually know the type of "mother" Kate is. Couldn't stand to watch the show anymore b/c watching a woman berate her husband & children from beginning to end was disgusting. Heard on the radio this AM about the sandwich story and how ratings have PLUMMETED in recent weeks for her show. Anyone who didn't see that coming is just plain stupid, i.e., pretty much all Kate supporters.

    Yea, I liked the show too. But then it became quite clear that Jon and kate are both frauds and liars. She is a bitter, angry shrew and he is a dou che. I feel sorry for those kids.
