OK!: Season 6 is definitely the most personal for you guys, following along with Jen's cancer treatment. Was there ever a point that you wanted to shut off the cameras?
Bill Klein: Of course! Sometimes you just want your privacy, but our production company has been extended family to us for years now. And occasionally, we did indeed ask the cameras to go away,even if the production folks hung around for a bit.
OK!: Are you scared to watch back the footage of it all happening, especially since now Jen is in remission?
BK: I am thankful it's over. Jen made it through a very tough time in our lives and came out of it okay. While it's painful to see her go through that stuff again, it's just history now.
OK!: How has Will adjusted to being a big brother, and how has the transition been with bringing Zoey into the family?
BK: Will is a great big brother. He loves Zoey and you can see he enjoys taking on some of the little responsibilities associated with that title.

OK!: What's the biggest challenge with having two kids?
BK: Find time to do everything. We obviously want to spend time with each of them, together and separately. It's tough making time for everything.

OK!: Do you think you make a good Mr. Mom?
BK: I can tell you I am a decent Mr. Mom...and I need a lot of work on a lot of thing. But I'm willing, and I work for very little pay!
OK!: Are there any other reality TV couples/parents that you two are inspired by?
BK: I don’t know about inspired, but I like the Osbournes as my reality TV couple fav. My inspiration lies nearer to my heart…if I could be as good to my kids as my parents were/are to me, I would have accomplished a lot.

OK!: Tha'ts so sweet! What has been your craziest fan encounter?
BK: There are no crazy fans… just overzealous ones!
OK!: Do you get fans coming up to you, asking for medical advice?
BK: That’s for Jen.. if they asked for medical advice from me, they better get a second opinion.
OK!: Why do you think people should tune into season 6?
BK: I think season 6 is our best yet. It's raw, endearing and I believe a lot of people will see themselves in us… which means we aren’t as different as one may have expected when we first started the show.
