I quit watching. I can no longer handle listening to and watching Kate berate Jon.
Before some of you cry a little more for Jon, remember: He married the biach. He agreed to keep all six in utero. He signed the contract with TLC. And then he takes his girlfriend out for a few drinks before she drives him home. (That’s it, buddy, rub Kate’s face in it.) He must love to be miserable. I’m surprised he’s not living in the back yard. And he signed up for it all himself.
OK, the clip of Kate’s belly while she was preggers with the 8 kids is not a pretty sight. Why did they have to show that? Whyyyy?
This is not a show about family life anymore. It is about a family who gets things …. skybox seats, sitting on the court at a Harmlem Globetrotters game, a new huge home, trips to Hawaii, Park City, Disney, the beach… It used to be a show about the day to day life of a family like anyone else’s only a little (or sometimes a lot) bigger. Everyone could relate. Now, it seems like they are always getting free items, trips, special treatment. It is hard for most families to relate to that. And, even with all that – they don’t seem to appreciate it.
Jon, Kate, and TlC needs to tell the fans the TRUTH regarding this trainwreck that’s happening right now. They owe it to their fans, which are diminishing daily by the handsful.
Did everyone hear that they are changing the name of the show next season? It is going to just be called “Kate Raising 8″ and she will be the only one on–Jon is too busy trolling elementary schools for his next girlfriend!
How can anyone be mad at Kate? Jon cheated on her…and the kids. Maybe…just maybe he didn’t sleep w/this woman, but going out w/another woman is cheating. Kate is working hard to secure her family. Don’t forget…Jon is reaping the benefits too. Of course, Kate is high strung. She has 8 kids’ people. People have nervous breakdowns w/two kids. She’s doing a wonderful job. I think Jon needs more responsibilities at home…then he would not have the time to go out and cheat on his wife and family. What an idiot!!!! If he doesn’t think that his cheating has anything to do w/the kids, then he should look at adults who are still coping with their parent’s infidelity. It’s time for Jon to grow up and appreciate the blessings he has. How many people w/multiples get paid to live their lives on TV? He never would’ve been able to afford all of the things that his kids have w/out the TV show…and Kate. Kate carries the strength, morals and values of the family. God bless them.
If you decide to watch, bring your shovels and wear your boots, because Jon and Kate will both be spewing the bullshat faster than you can say TLC. ( The Loser Channel )
If you watch…just remember. “You get what you get and you don’t get upset.” Hope you like bullshat.
Kate is so insincere….it’s really all about her, she probably spends more time in front of a mirror daily than with her kids. She has changed so much, I won’t be watching. I feel sorry for those precious children.
Isn’t it funny how these ongoing “reality” shows somehow manage to have the same stories a scripted show would have? Happy couple, check. Healthy kids, check. How to stir up more drama to make it interesting? Break up the couple! Sadly, this is a real family, and however entertaining some people may find it to watch this stuff, these kids are being left with a horrific legacy.
Even though it was Jon who cheated on Kate, it is still Jon who I feel sorry for….
It’s painful to watch. They’re now interviewing separately? I know they did this a bit last season, but is this how it’s going to be the whole time? If I wanted to watch miserable tension between a family, I’d go visit mine. This show’s gone from being a cute look at another family’s life to a nightmarish cautionary tale for the new suburban generation.
Please, please,please, leave the family alone. If Jon is so unhappy, maybe he should leave. But lets ALL really pay attention to the real TRUTH here. They BOTH need couseling. maybe they’ll get some Christian conseling. to save them selves.
Watch the Duggars instead. They are genuine and good, solid folks. Definately more entertaining than Kate’s constant controlling and complaining.
How can kat say she does everything for her kids. So the tummy tuck, tanning, highlights,off on book tour without family is for the kids…..right kat!!!!!
