5/26: Jon & Kate Plus 8 return with controversy
In the fifth season debut of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ on TLC Monday night, Jon Gosselin denies cheating on Kate with a teacher, but she makes veiled comments that imply there has been something going on. And the future of the couple as a couple looks grim.
Kate cries. “Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate,” she said. “I thought we could beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore. Very swiftly, we became very different people. It’s just hard. I tried six months to figure out what the problem is or remedy the problem. I don’t know. It’s so complicated. It’s just difficult.”
At the end of the episode, Jon pretty much says they’re separated: “We’re going two different directions right now.”
Early in the episode, they note the papparazzi camp outside their house all the time.
“I did not sign up fro the public scrutiny and everything,” Jon says wearily. “And neither did Kate. People get paid off to say whatever you want to say. If I gave you $25,000, who knows what you’ll say.”
“Did I ever think I’d find myself on the cover of a tabloid to see those words or read those words that are there?” Kate says. “No. It kills me.”
Jon says, “some people say I brought it upon myself.. doing nothing being innocent and hanging out. I never cheated on Kate. You know. That’s the way it is. I don’t care who believe me. I know what I know. She only knows what she knows.” Then he apologizes for something: “I don’t think in recent months I’ve thought clearly enough. I take full blame. I just didn’t think it would escalate to what it’s become.”
Kate denies unstated but implied alleged dalliances she may have had with a bodyguard. “I’m working and traveling and I take security. I go here and everywhere. That’s my job. I’ll be darned if they are going to take me down with that. The allegations make me furious. It makes me very mad.”
Jon then provides an interesting quote: “One day, my kids are going to Google me and I’m going to have to explain myself. Hopefully they’ll be mature enough to know it’s all crap.”
A moment later, he adds: “I’d like to apologize for my family for my actions. It was wrong place, wrong time. I didn’t understand the ramifications on how it would affect everything. I should have thought about more of what I did and where I was going. Everyone knows what I’m talking about.”
Kate: “I have a lot of anger… he’s made some very poor decisions. We have to live with them.”
Huh? What poor decisions exactly? What is he exactly apologizing for? Tabloids do say he showed up at some college house party, seen playing beer pong. Maybe it’s just that. Who knows?
The episode is set for one hour and 13 minutes. Clearly, TLC added a few minutes from interviews long after the episode at hand, which focused on the sextuplet’s fifth birthdays, which Kate dubs as “bittersweet.” [My DVR cut it off at a point where the show had note ended.]
As for the future of the couple, “I don’t know,” they both said. Kate says she lives and works for her kids. “I’m committed to not letting any of this harm them.”
“I take them to school. I’m here every day… I’m here for my kids, too,” Jon says.

Kate Gosselin, try hard enough? How many times did she play the “woe is me,” game tonight? While Jon Gosselin I’m sure has flaws, what I’ve always respected about him is the fact that he’s never had to prove that he loves his children…he just does.
Kate should really think about the choices SHE’S MADE, and stop playing the blame game. Maybe if she didn’t treat her husband like her personal slave and belittle him constantly on national television, they wouldn’t be where they are today. At the end of the day, it’s pretty sad that because of greed, their eight children will ultimately suffer. SAD! Kate really needs to see a psychiatrist and hopefully will realize afterward that the world doesn’t revolve around her!

I think it would be very difficult to live in their shoes. They are(were) a very normal family who happened to have two sets of multiples. Because they are educated, and attractive, they made for very interesting television appeal, and , of course, the money was a welcome addition. However, I’m sure they never imagined the horrible scrutiny and invasion their “television” life would bring them. If their life together is torn apart, it will be totally the fault of their agreement to air their life to the television world. You can’t expect monetary rewards, once unfathomable, without paying a huge price. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I hope they are wise enough to weather the media storm, and survive, both for themselves and for their eight children. My hopes are with them.

Just when the truth comes out about them ,is when they have the problem with it, the snowjob is over.

Look, Kate came to Jon with an “agreement” about 6 months ago. You can see “whoever” you want, do “whatever” you want, just SHOW UP FOR FILMING. Kinda sounds like a fake family if you ask me. Let’s all play “pretend” for the camera, and after the lights turn off, they split their separate ways. Pretty fake.

It’s too bad she can’t see that the entire problem is her. Give up the show and get back together with your family. What’s more important, money or your family? She really needs a reality check. Pack up and move to Canada. People up there wouldn’t go near here, she’s too scarry.

I watched the show tonight and after 35 years of marriage went through a divorce myself and to think it does not affect the children is wrong. Jon and Kate need to put their marriage first above all else and that means the show. After all when they started they just had each other, no tv show and no 8 kids and my bet is that they loved each other. Kate needs to start listening to Jon and how he feels and understand he is not one of her children but an equal partner in the relationship. He said he is not happy and she said she is. Now those two just dont go together. There is no to fix something if the show continues because Jon doesnt want it to. He wants his life back with no fear of who is watching his family and all they are doing. He is right that right their life is based on episodes and not on real life. When did marriage become a job and i notice that they went to church every sunday then faith should bring them back to what really matters. Dont let the children go through their lives with divorced parents , i sensed the tension tonight and so will your children.

I”m not sure what to think. But she is being very nice to him all the sudden. If I ever talked to my husband the way she did in the past seasons he would have told me to screw off along time ago. He may not have cheated, but we all don’t know whats going on. If you all noticed he said I didn’t sign up for this I was told I had no choice. Sounds like Kate told him him he had to for money reasons.

I have watched every episode. I remember thinking”Woe, Kate is just overly versed sometimes when speaking to Jon”. I then watched Monday 5/22 broadcast on TLC. I felt each of their pain and frustration. I thought Kate handled herself beautifully. I know that is a very very hard thing to do , let alone talk on TV about it. Divorce is so bitter. I just want them to know they are in my prayers. I wish them both the best at whatever their decision is.Everyone deserves to be happy. If they weren’t together, then maybe being apart would be better.

The show is unwatchable this season. It’s all about Kate, not the kids. Kate has changed. Once she got the “Hollywood Car wash” she ditched her old life, friends, family. After watching the entire marathon of shows this weekend culminating with the season open this evening, I must say it is hard to believe that Jon and Kate will ever be a couple again. Kate has already disowned her parents, siblings, etc. for fame and fortune. I hope it was worth it.

How very sad. On tv or not, this couple is going through what many of us go through in our lives at one time or another. As much as I love seeing their family grown and enjoy watching the banter, I hope they hang it up soon, for the sake of their family. Give it up for now and come back in 10 years and show us what you have learned. We will all want to wittnes this.

Jon needs to find a life outside of his family (not an affair!). Obviously being a stay-at-home dad is not working for him. And, unfortunately, Kate doesn’t have the motivation, patience and desire to be a stay-at-home mom, either. It seems they are both done with being 24/7 parents for 8 kids. That’s the bottom line. They both are very vocal about loving their kids, but don’t want the full-time responsibility anymore.

I feel that love can overcome anything. If there is truely love in their hearts then they can work through this. Life is hard, marriage is hard, and to put both in front of the world to watch just adds to it all. Let them live their lives. People make mistakes; who are we to judge them?

First of all i have to respond to PSOED comment about Kate how would you know how hard it is to do any of the stuff that there family goes thought. that’s right you don’t i am only 12 years old and i can tell that 8 kids let alone twins AND sextuplets would be a giant responsibility. How do you know what goes on behind the cameras. its all stress MAYBE YOUR THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST. because trust me you are the one who needs help. Secondly, I hope they can work it out. I love their show it is very interesting and inspiring to watch. I know that Jon did make some wrong decisions and he knew what he was doing but it happens everybody makes mistakes some people just make larger ones then others because sometimes we feel like there is no one to turn to. but nobody is perfect everybody is a person and you cant just say it was horrible and blow people off and put them down and make them feel worse just because they are famous or celebrities because they are people too. They are just well known sure they may have to watch out ore but they cant get it all right behind what all the media says is a true real human person who just wants to be a human person but cant because everyone is wathcing thier every move.

After watching the show tonight I found myself feeling very sorry for Kate, and trust me I definitly didn’t that I would ever say that. Jon is unhappy about not having a job- well than why did he agree to give it up? He says he isnt content being a stay at home dad, I find that in itself sad. My husband would give anything to be in the financial position jon is in to be home with his children instead of working 12 hour shifts. I think jon is wimp. He knew who he was marrying and did it any way. He was there when decisions for their future were being made, if he didnt say no then well then you cant complain now.

Sometimes (i.e. ALWAYS) adults should put the kids’ needs above their own. People have affairs because they are thinking of their own desires. Grow up and put the children first. Your d–k can come later (no pun intended). “It” really isn’t the beginning and ending of the universe. I could never understand this thought process, or lack of self control – unattractive to say the least. Little lives are at stake.

How sad to see this once happy family tearing apart…it is almost too excruciating to watch. Having gone through divorce/adultery myself I can say that most of the time I didn’t know what was going to happen the next minute either so it wasn’t surprising to hear them say that. I do not know who or what went wrong with Jon and Kate’s marriage but I do hope they find the strength and desire to fight for their marriage. I for one am rooting for them to get through this as a stronger couple. I know I was not so lucky. God bless the children as they undoubtedly sense “something” is going on between their parents. I wish them all luck.

Hello, what the bad judgement is Jon was reffering to was getting caught. As stated in public by Kate’s own brother, Kate called off the relationship with Jon 6 months ago and told him he could see other women as long as he taped the show pretnending to be her husband. So NO- he didn’t cheat on Kate but YES he was an idiot to be caught with someone else when for the public his marriage is supposed to be “on” Why is this so hard to get?

I have watched this family from the begining [as we all have] and it devastates me knowing that they are on the verge of divorce. Personally I believe that marriage is a life long commitment – ['until death; do we part']. I think it would be in their best interest [and their childrens best interest] to stop filming completely. I think they need to take the media’s focus off of themselves and really reconsider the path(s) they have decided to take within the marriage. I hope they can make it work.

I pray for the Gosslin family whose family needs healing. Noone can say what they would do in the same situationI am sure it is a stressful life. I do think, after watching tonight’s show, that Jon is definitely detached from his family. It was all over his face. He needs to get a grip and pull it together. His family should be the most important thing in his life. Kate needs to cancel all road trips from here on out and work on her marriage. Maybe TLC could send them on a long second honeymoon together with child care provided. Since, maybe if it were not for the show, they may not be struggling to save their marriage.

I wish them and their family only the best. Sure, I don’t approve of all the decisions they’ve made… but who agrees with everything someone else ever does? I’m sure the TV had a lot to do with the stress… but if they didn’t have the significant income from the reality series then the same stresses would have come to light, and probably sooner, over financial issues. I wish them only the best and cannot even begin to imagine life in their shoes.

Jon seems very immature – yeah ! life is rough in the spotlight – $75,000 per episode – I could and many others could as well – take a bit of the rough for the nice income that has been generated from their TV Show. You know, if you are not doing anything wrong, then the paparazzi will have nothing to print and talk about. So, JON – immaturity has gotten the best of you – try to grow up for your wife and children’s best interest. Unfortunately, you can’t make somebody GROW UP and get Mature all of a sudden. He is two years younger than Kate and has mentioned many times how he was 23 with twins and 27 with sextuplets. This evidently has been bothering him for some time. I am most certainly understanding that 8 kids are tough to raise. Jon, get tough and be the dad and husband to the kids and Kate – you know that woman that you went to Hawaii with and repeated those vows of sanctity. I am feeling like Jon is just a wussy and wants to drive his white sports car without any cares in the world. Unless he was just the sperm donor, this just isn’t that way real life has played out for him. Kate has good reason to be angry. I would be too!!!

I hope and pray that Jon and Kate can work out their problems. It is heartbreaking to read the awful things being said about both of them, but especially Kate. If I had to care for eight children, I’m not sure that I would turn down all the advantages that came with doing the show for TLC. Kate obviously came to enjoy all the perks and attention, but I truly believe she felt she was doing what was best for her family. It’s unfair to say she doesn’t love her children. If you have watched all the shows, you’d remember many moments when it was obvious how much she loves them. I think some of the people who are writing these awful things about the Gosselins have not really been viewers since the start of the show. It’s a very sad situation, and I wish the 10 of them the best.

What I don’t understand is why no one seems to believe Jon when he says nothing happened. Why are people letting something like this affect what they think about the family they once loved to watch? It may not even be true, and if it is, who cares? Everyone has issues at some point in their marrige and Kate even said she can get a little aggravated when it comes to disgussing things with Jon. Everyone does. I wouldn’t ever want to be famous, cause people can change one little event into this. Jon doesn’t seem like the guy who would cheat, and either does Kate. And if they did, they should let the public know, so we can stop saying all this stuff about them, that we don’t even know for a fact. Sure, people say they saw Jon doing this. Well, like Jon said; If someone gave me an amount of money to say something, you know I would. And it’s not just me. Everyone would for the right amount of money, and it’s not fair to the people on the other side of the camera. How would you like it if some random person you didn’t even know, and never spoke to in your life, would spread lies about you and your family, trying to get you to your breaking point? I sure wouldn’t like that, and I’m sure no one else would want that either. So just remember what it’s like to see you and your family on the front page with a bunch of lies written for the whole world to see.

I am so sad for all involved they did this show to provide for there family. I think most people who would have been in that situation and people came and offered you a show and would give you money to take care of your 8 children i think we would all take it imagine how scared they were before the show with no money. The sad part is they didn’t think it would end like this and to be honest even with all the bickering neither did I. In there interviews on the couch they would joke and laugh which made me think all the bickering was stress of he day and they still loved each other. They could snip at each other then move on. I guess with all the traveling and time apart they grew apart it’s really sad. I don’t know what i believe from the tabloids and so called family who’s giving interviews to the press. I’m praying for them both and the children.

Dear Jon and Kate, I am praying for you. Marriage is hard and at different times we feel different about our spouses. Nobody said marriage was hunky dory all the time….tough it out both of you! I think you are great parents and love each other. I watch your show alot…because nothing is good on other channels. You two are great together. I was a single parent for 7 years dated my now husband for 2 years before we got married. Now we have been married for 19 years. He built golf courses all over US and now builds windfarms. I am by me self alot! I have to accept that is the way it is. He works hard,and loves us very much! I have a great husband and children. Wow what a ride! The rollercoaster hasn’t stopped for me yet! I am getting ready for emptynest…I hate that too. All marriages have ups and downs….you both can make it up the next hill! We attend church regularly I have to say God plays a important part of our family! I have a friend which her husband passed last year. She is 87 and was married for 67 years…she went through WWII waited 3 years for him to come home…and lived in a dinky trailer she said she would get her self and son dressed to go and would wait for mail man….no letter…she would just stay home and cry. It would be weeks at atime. Maybe if you two talked to some older people who made it through tough times. You know how time flies already….you will have time for yourselves again. As for the stupid tabloids..I guess it is your turn now. But before you know it you will be old news. I live in a small town called Tarkio, MO Population of 1,900. You can’t fart with out someone there to smell it and tell all about it. I was talked about here once….I had a friend who told me Gee I am glad their talking about you…..that means they aren’t talking about me anymore! How true….It is your turn….this too shall pass. wait it out the best is yet to come…..TEENAGERS that is when you really need each other! Touch and hold hands remember you both are still there. I am praying for you both and your family. Love Jackie A.

Perhaps its just me, but I didn’t see Jon shedding any tears, did you? Everyone continues to speak about how much Jon has been humiliated and I just want to remind all of you Jon advocates that I think they are pretty much even at humiliating each other. I dont see Jon as a victim, he has been cruel at times as well, and I dont see Kate as a victim because she can dish it out as well. The only ones that will end up being victims of Jon and Kate’s stupidity will be their children. How can they possibly think, especially Jon that as long as they stay friendly their children will not be affected? You have to be pretty much self-absorbed to not understand the ramifications that separation and divorce bring into the dynamics of family.
Lastly, may I just say that this too will pass! Soon their story will be just one in a million and as time goes by the public will say Jon and Kate who?

I think it’s really sad that all this is happening, especially when I see the kids. They are soooo sweet. They have both done a really great job with the children. No matter what happens with the marriage, I’m sure that both of them will be super committed to being present and loving parents. I can tell that Kate really loves Jon. It is easy for those of you on the outside to place judgment on Kate for being so critical of Jon, or to blame Jon for being unfaithful. For those of of who are parents, I think that we all have been or possibly are where Jon and Kate are. Their problems are NOT unique. It’s no wonder the divorce rate is as high as it is.

Having 3 kids of different ages parenting can be so stressful and I think both Jon and Kate do it the best they know how. I do wish that they would work it out for the kids sake. Yes, Kate belittles Jon but I can only imagine the constant stress to try and make it through a day and sometimes Jon is a little to nonchalant about everything. They need balance!! Less books deals less travel and some together time. For the kids the cameras should leave, if only temporarily. The kids would be happier in a little tiny shack with both parents then with endless things and a huge house with seperated parents.

It’s easy for people to bash on Kate all of the time for wanting fame/money/etc, but can you imagine how expensive raising eight children must be? I don’t know many (if any) nurses that make $75,000 a year. If you could make that amount of money for a few days “work”, you would probably do it too. I don’t always agree with the way she talks to Jon, but I don’t blame Kate for supporting her family.

One of the children called Kate by the babysitter’s name and she’s okay with it as long as they are “safe and happy?” Stay home with your kids and be a mommy!!! Cut the book tour in half. You’re making plenty of money from the show! All I heard was about how hard she works and the two times she did speak to Jon at the party, she barked at him. Imagine that! Watching the kids and knowing what’s probably to come was heart breaking! WAKE UP KATE!!!

Jon and Kate both need to grow up. This is NOT about both of you. For the sake of the kids, forgive each other and get back together., or else all your kids are going to be affected emotionally and mentally for the rest of their lives. You both had kids, so act like responsible parents., just saying you both love your kids is easy but act upon it!

Kate should quit worrying about her makeup, cut the hair that keeps falling in her eyes, listen to what John is trying to say (he has a right to speak too), quit the book tours, quit the show, and just go back to being a wife and mother. After all, that’s what she wanted in the beginning. The show came up after all those other decisions were made. She comes across as enjoying the limelight too much. It sounds like they might have a chance if they went back to just being “a family”. I’m rooting for that to happen.

I hope, above anything, that Jon and Kate can find a way back to each other and back to their family. Tonight’s show was a tragedy…an absolute tragedy. When I heard one of the boys say, “This is my best birthday ever” I was just so terribly sad for the Gosselin children as they can’t even begin to imagine how incredibly different their world will become if their parents divorce. Jon and Kate have professed their love for God. As a Christian family, I pray that forgiveness, reconciliation, and faith will sustain them through this time and bring them all back home.

I believe Kate and Jon are wonderful parents, and they just have to put their priorities in order. People do make mistakes, and I just pray that God gives wisdom to solve these problems. It will not be easy, but if they dont now, they will not be able to do it latter and their kids will certanly pay for that. That is going to happen becouse they will suffer if Jon and Kate get a divorce.

Kate is a control freak and pushed Jon to get a “break” from her. Tonight’s show showed her sweet and sad (fake tears).Simple advice, Kate needs personal counseling, they need couple counseling and proceed on rebuilding their relationship from there. They GOT MONEY so use it for the sake of the kids emotional needs.

I think they are both “good” parents. They let this money and show put too many stars in their eyes and then it was too much work to keep it going. They both love their children but have put their desires ahead of their love and wishes for their children. I cried to see such a lovely young family do this to themselves and TLC also should see how this affects families but you see, there are more of them coming on. Too much reality will ruin it all. We see this every day in real time why keep watching it over and over on the tube and Internet. It makes our world look very sad.

Jon should grow up and accept his responsibility of being an adult/parent.
Have the balls to say enough is enough.
Divorce, spend time finding out what your want different in a relationship and then starting dating. I can’t even stomach your “alledged” affair and drinking. Poor Jon. Your make me what to vomit.

JON: YOU ARE IMMATURE AND NEED TO GROW UP! YOU HAVE 8 WONDERFUL CHILDREN and a beautiful wife, YET YOU RUN AROUND TOWN ACTING LIKE a CHILDE YOURSELF?! If you are so unhappy with your horrible (HA) life, then be a man and work on it with your wife; YOU don’t go carousing out drinking and partying while she’s out trying to make money for a better life for all your children’s future!?! I cannot believe how sad/bad you have made everything for everyone! GO FIND GOD AGAIN and BEG for Kate’s forgiveness and work on it!!! AND, PLEASE Ask the LORD to help you GROW UP.

Kate is very sharp in her comments to Jon…….always has been from the beginning….this is nothing new in her personality make-up – what is NEW is that Jon no longer likes his lot in life…..eight kids ….no identity…….people following him all the time…….GOLLY – I can’t do anything without somebody seeing me…….Yeah! Kate sure has her faults but immaturity is not one of them…..Jon – GROW UP buddy and be a husband and father – be strong – stand up to Kate and tell her to SHUT UP once in a while….call her on her sharp tongue and comments…..get some b—lls and be there for your kids and wife – I am just sick about their whole mess! Money is the root of all evil – but without the money they would have had many other problems to BIG for their pocket books…..what a vicious circle!!!

I found the whole episode terribly sad. I was however bothered by the noticeable changes in Kate. Consider Jon, who appears in his jeans and tee-shirt being himself. Meanwhile, Kate is dressed like a celebrity…designer clothes, serious bling-bling, expensive hairdo’s, made-up tanning booth tan etc. That is not the same Kate I remember from the earlier shows…me thinks the celebrity-life has gone to her head.

It will be interesting to see how this drama ends. I’m guessing they’ll get divorced, Kate will have custody of the kids and most of the income they’ve made from the show, books, etc. to support the kids and she’ll hire people to help her take care of the kids so she can do whatever she wants. And since Jon will only be with the kids on designated days, neither one will have full, 24/7 responsibility anymore. And the kids are getting older with friends and interests of their own, so won’t be so dependent on the parents anyway. It will be the same scenario that is being played out in so many households in this country.

My wife and I have 3 boys, and we were both sad to watch tonight’s show. We’re very sad to see how things have turned out for Kate and Jon. They seemed to be having fun while it lasted, but tonight’s show revealed some high tension between the two of them. We hope that for the children’s sake they can pull something together, but if they have to go their separate ways, hope they make that work too.

Ok, some of these bashing Kate must not be parents. It is hard getting everything done with just a couple of kids, let alone 8. Whether he did it or not, this is his very own actions. You can be unhappy in a marriage, but you work on it. You don’t go out and flirt around with other women and have affairs. I think it is a tragedy that they are making Kate out to be at fault-what women doesn’t have to bitch a little to get things done around the house? It is very sad at this point because he has damaged their marriage probably beyond repair. You can tell he doesn’t even care anymore anyway. Poor Kate and poor kids! He did this.

I had to take off my rose colored glasses. I’ve watched the show from season one and I really thought Jon and Kate would make it. Heck I didn’t even believe the rag magazine stories. Sadly, after watching tonight’s show, I’m thinking they have one messed up marriage. They renewed their vows in August 08 and in May 09 looks like it’s over.

What happened to the cutting of the coupons and the everyday struggles of young parents of multiples… I miss those days and if the show continues on with Kate and John wining about their relationships and not the focus on the kids, I think they should have thought about what the show is really about… It’s not called Kate’s book tour or John’s night life. Come on. Start parenting your kids and show us more of their lives.

This is all so very sad. The entire episode, i could only think of how terrible this all is for the kids. I swear they JUST went to Hawaii to renew their vows to show the kids that they would be together forever.
Kate does seem like she is doing this for the money. When you look back at the first episodes, they both seemed more normal, down to earth and not money obsessed. Now they live in a super mansion, spend money on random things, kate wears her chanel glasses everywhere….they are no longer regular people. I understand jon, because they were normal when the show started, and probably never thought it would be THIS popular. He can’t even hang out with friends without being SUPER careful about it, and living like that must suck. the world around him is so different from when it started. I can see both sides, but i agree more with Jon.

The tension in tonight’s episode was obvious. It seems that they are both being selfish and self-centered in a way – - if they want to save their marriage they probably need to tell TLC to take a hike so they can work on their marriage and keep their family together. But from tonight’s episode – I didn’t get that they were going to do that. It sounds like the filming will commence which is really unfortunate and more than likely ratings will go up – as we all can’t resist watching a good train wreck.

The End of Jon & Kate Plus 8
The season premiere of JK+8 will undoubtably break records for viewership. But I would predict it will become the highest ever viewed show in the series and that viewership will decline from this point forward.
The show attracted viewers for the cuteness of the children, the challenge they presented for their parents and the sense of relief that viewers felt–”I’m so glad it;s not me with that mess”.
But now, despite the intrigue of the breakdown of the marriage, the future is dim for the show. The children are older and less charming. The tension between Jon and Kate is not something people will want to see weekly. My wife finished watching the show and sad “Boy was that depressing”. We do not watch TLC to become depressed at life. We have many places where we see that everyday. We see it in the growing unemployment. We see it with the people struggling to make ends meet. We see it in our friends and family who have personal problems we witness and feel everyday.
Jon & Kate Plus 8 might best be wound down over the next year. Jon wants out of the marriage and the public limelight. He feels like he’s in prison. By dropping the show, he and Kate will fade back into obscurity. He’ll be out of prison and Kate won’t have to work so hard to present the false image that she has everything in control.
Maybe a special every two years to provide an update would be enough for most viewers. All good series come to an end and this one seems to be on life support. It’s best to let it die.

I just watch the season premiere of Jon and Kate plus 8..and I have to tell you it was crap for a lack of a better word. We have all heard people put down the two of them Kate has her fans and Jon has his.Whats funny is that so many of us tune in faithfully to watch them and now we are making our little comments about them as if we know them so well..What I saw tonight is the end of Jon and Kate I found Jon to be laid back and just kinda of whatever and Kate to be herself putting Jon down on national T.V Jon never said one negative thing on Kate but she did with her lovely little remarks and for her to think that she dose not feel that the way she has treated him in the past has nothing to do what is going on….well straight out of Jon’s mouth tonight geee I wounder what that meant. Jon’s not the one that went to People’s magazine and spilled his guts about Kate and how he feels about things…She likes the attention no matter the cost. Don’t know what really went down with the two of them but feel really bad for those kids and if they think that they are not feeling this right now or think that they will not be effected by this.. sadly mistaken.

Obviously this TV family’s plight is on the minds of many and fires up opinions and judgements from all angles. The public should not forget that this is “reality” TV – shows are put together from tapes and the network still has the opportunity to portray the family or relationship in certain ways.
Most parents start out with the best intentions for their children…but sometimes the path becomes entangled. On a world-wide stage, unforseen obstacles and challenges are impacting this pair in ways that the could not have imagined prior to setting out on this journey. It remains clear that both Jon and Kate love their kids very much – it is evident in their comments and voices. Their children need them, stable and loving, in order to grow and flourish in a emotionally healthy manner. That should be the focus of everyone – parents, network, and viewers. So let’s support them. Positive words, sound advice, prayer if that is something you do.
I hope they make the right choices for those eight precious faces.

John said he couldnt be himself, he wasnt John and Kate Plus 8. Beg to differ with you John. When you took those sacred vowes you became as one. Then the children are part of both of you, so yes you are John and Kate plus 8. You can commit adultery without haveing sex. You gave your heart, Kates love and affection to someone else. Kate get counciling for the children and you. Its hard to deal with, I know Ive been there. Kate admitted she wasnt perfect, but where was Johns love and understanding or even forgiveness. Ive seen anger, resentment, pouting, and acting like a 2 year old on his part. No Kate doesnt need him, shes strong and I think she showed that tonight, but I also saw pain. Im praying for you and the kids Kate.

Jon & Kate appeared extremely bitter tonight. There is no doubt in my mind that he already has checked out of the relationship. Based on the numerous stories and pictures, he appears to be searching for that elusive state of happiness. Jon, the grass is not greener on the other side. Gender differences are prevalent in marriages and how you handle them is what matters. Kate appears to be in a state of shock over a betrayal. Jon, true happiness comes from within. You need to decide what it is you want from life. It isn’t Kate’s job to make you happy, only you can do that. And running around in a sports car in the middle of the night is not the answer, especially when eight little children need you.

I know Kate can be condescending and ugly to Jon at times, but after watching the show tonight, all I can think is how immature Jon is acting. He has 8 children and he needs to grow up. It was sickening how he just was not there to help set up the birthday party, and drove up like Mr. Macho-man in his new white “sports” car. I also don’t understand why TLC is continuing to air the show. It is suppose to be about a family making it work with multiples, and now, it is not about that. Obviously, the Gosselins need to get off the air and concentrate on their kids and their marriage. I truly hope they resolve their differences and stay a family, with mom and dad together.

Sad to see people just bash this couple. At best you have a glimse of what their life truly is. Bottom line is marriage is not easy. Emotions change and we forget what we got married for, selfishness sets in and love becomes conditional. Imagine, if we showed the same love for our spouses as we do our children. There would be a lot less divorces! I’m praying that Jon and Kate will re-discover what Love truly is and dig deep within themselves and find the strength to fight. Love is worth fighting for. Jon I hope somehow you read this and decide in your heart that your wife is worth fighting for, push all the fake crap aside (anything that distracts you from your family and God) and be a Man. Step up brother, and lead your heart,do not follow your emotions, they lie to you!

I made my previous comments based on past shows – Jon and Kate both kept tossing the kids (especially the little ones) back and forth to each other like hot potatoes whenever they got dirty or fussed or whatever. Neither one wants the full responsibility of taking care of these kids anymore, but they love their kids – hence, the confusion as to what to do. No one wants to step up which is why they don’t like each other anymore. I agree with the other posters – they have to know that this will affect the kids – already has.

Jon said he loves his kids, loves his family. What about, I love my wife.
Jon seems so angry — way more angry than Kate. What’s wrong with this picture?
She sounded like she would be willing to work it out. He didn’t say anything like that.
Yes, Kate would say what came to mind when it came to Jon. Perhaps Jon could have addressed these issues and tried to work things out before this got this far.
And people say they should give up the show, that’s not going to fix the situation. Obviously, Jon is not happy. I really don’t think she is forcing him to stay home and take care of his kids while she goes out to promote the book. He has help. Get a hobby, go golfing, have guy friends, what’s the problem?
Maybe Kate — if Jon wants to be married to her — could cut the tours and talks in half, even if that means losing some money.
One thing, if he did cheat, which he says he didn’t, although, he’s not too convincing on this episode today, I don’t think he deserves another chance. Once a cheater always a cheater.
Give her a break, people, she takes care of 9 kids, one being Jon. Anyone would have to be super organized to be able to handle this huge job. She wasn’t always away promoting the book.
From what I saw today, it looks as though this marriage may not survive.

Jon & Kate was hard to watch tonight. I felt sorry for the people at the birthday party. I bet they couldn’t wait to get out of there. She even barked at John to take his sunglasses off for the family picture. Doesn’t she ever give him a break. He even made the remark “I can’t write, I can’t breathe right (referring to the episode she told him “not to breathe”. Jon is the most caring parent of the two. When Kate yelled at Jon for not using a coupon for something he bought (the way she humiliated him) that did it for me. She is a _ITCH. The kids are darling and fun to watch but I cannot take listening to Kate any longer. Jon better get away while he still has his manhood.

On all of the episodes I have ever watched, it was John who played with the kids, gave them their baths, dressed them, and generally seemed to love all eight of them. Kate guarded the kitchen, gave orders, found fault with whatever decisions he made, hugged and kissed the sextuplets, and rarely showed physical affection to the twins. The thing I find disturbing is how she practically threw him under the bus and implied that he is guilty. However, when it came to the allegation about her and her bodyguard that was totally far -fetched she said. Her own brother and sister-in-law are the ones that broke that tidbit. If, indeed, she is so broken up by all of this, why has she spent 21 out of the last 30 days on the road? The tears tonight do not fit the shrewish woman we met on past seasons. I feel Jon has reached the point where he just can’t tolerate her any longer. This is the first time she did not belittle him to his face. She speaks to no one in her family. Doesn’t that seem strange to anyone? I believe at this point she is caught up in the diva aspect of all this. She is portraying herself as the innocent victim. Is she putting her children first, as she claims? While she’s on Larry King, Rachel Ray, the Today Show,etc. she sure doesn’t seem to be trying to work out the problems one way or the other. He’s at home with the kids, and she is on the tube.seemingly more concerned with her wardrobe and new hairstyle than with what the twins may be hearing. I read that she wants a talk show. What is the price she is willing to pay for it??????

It’s time to wind down Jon & Kate + 8.
It was a special show because sextuptlets followed the birth of twins.
But now the sextuplets are 5 and we have discovered Jon and Kate are nothing special.
Jon is shallow man who feels cheated by an early marriage and appears to not want to work out a difficult relationship. I know many people like that. No need to have a show about it.
Kate is a nurse who thinks by having 8 children she is special and has a unique (and marketable) story to show. She is obsessive and compulsive and these traits make her difficult to live with impair her judgements of others. I know many people like that. No need to make a show about it.
I’d recommend winding the show down. I know I’ve watched my last episode.

It appears that their marriage has been over for some time and they are reliving the initial shock of what’s happening in their marriage very publicly for the past several weeks. Yes, the show went from something sweet and helpful to something overly commercial and forced. I too would like to see them turn off the cameras and work it out off camera and find more reality than their “reality show”.

I think we have not truly seen this family and it real problems from the begining and I think if we did we wouldn’t have like it so much for the reality would reflect much of our own lives and we don’t have to turn on show know or feel how that is. We were given a fairy tale version and now some of us are mad because the hope of happy ending is over and reality has set in, which is hard and ugly and not so nice exspecially when kids are invovled. I hope that John and Kate show will be cancelled not for there sake but for their children because in end they will have to deal with their parents very public separation in the future. As they get older they will see this last expisode and it will hurt and they will remember how things were wrong and how they did not know why. They even may be like most divorced kids thinking it was there fault. John and Kate I hope you really put your kids first and will give up the money in order to save the spirit inwhich you had your children. What ever you choose I will pray for your family.

Did anyone notice how Kate kept laughing, and chuckling to everyone who was at the party??? But she managed to keep her emotions to herself whenever Jon was around? Obviously I felt she was wearing a mask ( so to speak) as far as her feelings to Jon are. I believe she does truly loves Jon, and I also think that Jon still loves her as well…(if you notice that Jon still sat in his position on the couch while being interviewed alone…) I believe they can pull through this….I pray that they do…I feel so sorry for them both…their children especially.

what is kate teaching her children about respect/love in a marriage? when she belittles jon in front of everyone and not only her children. There has been many times when I think “how can he stand it?” I m not saying jon is inocent in all this, but he admited his mistakes. Kate on the onther hand admited nothing. What about all the gossip about the secret contract and the bodyguard? Do you really beleive she is inocent in all this? I dont. All through the show, she took every chance to say that she was “alone.” I wish jon had made more of an apperence in the show, only so that kate couldn’t use the “oh pity me” card.
she laid it on thick. At first I felt sorry for kate, even though she was horrible to jon, no one diserves to be cheated on. but as more info came out I relized that kate was just as guilty. Who goes on a book tour, when her marriage and children are suffering??? Everything tonight was about her. Not about the children, and even though it was not said, the children are suffering. how can you say that they no nothing about what is going on. when alexis told jon to “come home.” It broke my heart. Both are being selfish, but I beleive kate is wanting jon to stay away.

So to those of you who keep saying that they should quit the show and they will be out of the spotlight, do you really think that is true. If Jon and Kate decided tomorrow to discontinue the show, the paparazzi would still continue to stalk them and post things about them that hurt them. All because we want to know. The show is not the problem. The fact that they have real lives and the tabloids choose to exploit every move they make is the major issue. How would we all feel to see our lives on the covers of the rag mags and every little thing we do be blown out of proportion. If either of them have affairs it is their business and their job to work on their marriage. I do not feel for Jon, he chose to sign the contract again and that means he is in the media. If you do not want your life on TV say no.
As for the “RUMORS” Kates brother and sister-in-law are spreading, they are hearsay. People need to quit refering to them as FACT when this is clearly not the case. It seems to me that they are bitter for whatever reason and they want their 15 minutes of fame and glory. Tey do not care if they hurt people in the process!

Well, it was bound to happen. Kate’s mouth caused all these problems. And she still feels the need to continue on her tours instead of staying home with her childern especially if Jon has already moved out. I had almost stopped watching the show two seasons ago because Kate is so damn bossy. And Jon is too passive for his own good. Those precious children will suffer for their parents short-comings. TLC executives if you have any compassion for those children, you will take this show off the air because it will only get worse.

I like the Gosselins very much. I admire Kate’s love, determination and dedication to her family. Jon loves his kids but sadly is showing a horrible lack of maturity. What did he think he was signing up for when he agreed to go on national TV? Kate appears to be sticking by her commitments, but Jon is acting like a spoiled child. I hope they will heal their marriage. Prayer and counselling would be helpful. Lastly, I am curious to know what, if anything, it would take to make Jon happy? THAT would be a good question for TLC to ask him. It might save his family a lot of time and grief too.

This show has always bothered me. Mostly because we only have 2 children, but I feel have twice the load because our oldest was born with a brain bleed and our second and most profoundly, has autism. While I always have acknowledged that Jon and Kate have had quite the job in raising 8 kids so close together, I have always thought it is soooo much easier than raising special needs children. The stress, the anguish, the heartbreak never ends. When she said tonight that “the divorce rate for parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate”, my husband and I laughed knowingly together, the divorce rate for parents of autistic kids is 80%. She needs to stop the show, stop the book tour, stop the fake bake, move to Montana or S. Dakota or some other place where no one cares and get back to basics. She is so, so , so blessed to have healthy kids. As a nurse, maybe she can pause and realize that reality. I wish those beautiful kids the best.

I just watch the episode tonight. I’m very sadden and heartbroken of the situation for Kate and John. People don’t understand when you agree to document your personal life on camera prepare for the worst scrutiny ever. This is very hard for me, because I watch this family from season one and to see the tabloids rip this family apart over fame and fortune is sad. To me I don’t think Kate is really fighting for her Husband, because if she was she will show a little more emotions towards john when she’s around him. My prayers and thoughts are with these guys and the kids. They are such beautiful and intelligent kids, and I can say that Kate and John has done a great job with them. Kate and John here’s a message to u both Don’t play the blame game towards each other, if u guys say that yall Love each other like yall say yall do then fight. You guys are awesome people and we need more people in this world like both of u. Y’all took vows in front of god now let’s end the bickering and fueding and save your family for it’s to late. GOD BLESS and I’m praying for u guys. I’m a single father taking care of my son,he lives with me and it is hard. It really does effect a kid coming up not seeing both parents around. I know Kate that u are going to protect them from harms way and continue to be those kids rock for life,and the same to u John. So whatever u guys decide to do make sure the kids are first at all times. Wishing the Best for the Gosselin family. I’m so HEARTBROKEN right now, that’s life though.

I said I wasnt going to do this, but the show has been over for awhile and I am still aggravated so I have to say something. I could tell by the show and the interviews that Jon obviously has not grown up. You can tell by his statement, “when I go out I can’t just be Jon, I have to be Jon and Kate plus 8, and I am having a real hard time dealing with that”. AS far as I am concerned, once he took those vows(before there were all of these children) he was no longer just Jon, he was a Family, he was Jon and Kate. So grow up and stop wanting to go and “play”, snowboard, drink, and whatever every weekend. Play with your children. He needs to go back to his Job (so he can get away from the children for eight hours) since you can tell he is aggravated that he was “made” or told to quit his job. Kate needs to stay home with the children now that she has done her little book tour, they need to take a few years off of the show and learn about each other again. Try to make this marriage work, because if they dont do that, they will regret divorcing. It will hurt the children terribly and they will blame the dad, especially if he stays away “playing” too much….I know, I was a child of that type of situation! I love the show and wish them the very best! I so hope they make a wise decision, they will be in my prayers!!

I just hope this episode was a jumping off point for them to turn themselves around and improve the current state of their family. I mean, is TLC really going to show this depressing sob story week after week? Doubtful.

I do believe they have an agreement that the marriage was over 6 months ago and allowing Jon to have girlfriends. I think Kate is angry that Jon was so reckless about it that got him caught by the media and Jon was apologizing for that. That is why he was saying he did not cheat on Kate which would be true if they have an agreement, but apologized for making poor choices (got caught by the media).

Hello Everyone;
Reading through some of the posts tonight really says that we as a society have hit the bottom of the barrel! Who are we to judge this couple. The show is for entertainment and what happens to Jon and Kate in their personal lives is really their business isn’t it? The show was to show the ups and downs but now we want to hurt them by adding fuel to the fire. Come on, we feed the fire by buying tabloids that have been proven in the past to print false stories about any and everyone in the entertainment business. Then we say he did she did what!! They both are grown and need to take it as is goes. If we can’t see someone hurt someone on TV, we can’t watch it. No wonder today’s kids are so messed up. They see this stuff and think mit’s normal to hurt someone. Follow the show but cut the hurtful comments toward a young couple going thrugh life’s ups and downs. We all go through that. What if it was you???? Would you want people calling you a wimp or _itch or worse? I’m no expert but think before you make comment.

Kate always has to be the center of attention and she has to do everything her way, that would get old quick for me. I feel bad for Jon because I don’t think he’s the problem.
