first off...its kate who wants to dump jon...she has zero respect for this guy...i bet she met some church goer and is having an affair or wants to have one...she cant stand her husband and thinks he is a loser...her behavior towards jon says she cant stand this guy..thinks he's a chump and a loser...kate has a scheme..a grand plan..she drove this guy out of "her" house....like most women today they think they dont need a man...and since she doesnt see jon as a "man"..he's history in her eyes...and she gave him enuff rope to hang himself knowing he would go out and get caught..bet kate had a private investigator follow him and they set his ass up..leaking it all to the "star" magazine...now kate has cause...adultery...she will dump this guy and wait a few months before she comes out dating her blonde haired blue eyed handsome and tall white boyfriend..who is a successful guy..a lawyer..a doctor...maybe a pastor...

kate is a schemer...

damn

its all a scam. i am watching it right now. they put it at the end of the show to make people watch the whole thing. what obnoxious people they've become. it's sad i used to really love the show.

jon,

it'd be hard for anyone. you are in a bubble and you didn't sign up for that in particular. you should be able to go out with the guys and be silly. we go out with the girls and get silly. we're all young.

that said, kate should go out with the girls more often and be silly. and if the show continues, we should see it.

you and kate seem happy. you seem to love one another, but you differ on whether to have another season.

don't do it.

these are your kids. this is your life. they'll be a mess if they don't get what they need from you. we're talking 8 humans here.

screw the show. get real.

sorry you have a challenge here. you've made a lot of money off this, so i don't feel for you at all.

what i feel is that you need to accept, and go forward - minus the cameras.

Wow... so you don't sound angry at all... Maybe you SHOULD go talk to a pastor. Did you have a bad experience?

Do you have kids? Because you would know that being around that many WOULD make you go insane if there was no order. Having someone who just sits around and doesn't do what you ask... and does it in front of your children would make anyone nag... What do you think the kids would think 10 years down the road when they see "daddy" out partying with some college chicks while mom is home with 8 kids...

Kate needs to get off her high horse and realize there are TWO people in their relationship.  Seems to me like she is only thinking of the kids and herself lately.

I love Kate. I love John.  They need to love each other, leave the show and get on with their lives.  Otherwise, they are going to end up like the rest of the reality show divorced couples!

Every marriage goes through trying times; only the whole world isn't necessarily a part of it. The rumor mill is just that- a lot of speculation! Sure it's entertainment, but at who's expense? They've been filming for 4 Seasons; I'm sure Jon and Kate need a well deserved break! Those that earn part or all their living in front of a camera, whether it be film or television have to balance their private lives with that of their public persona.

the curse of the reality tv show or I will go with what tyrone said.. kate = schemer

I have watched all the shows that have been out and am a big fan. I think that we should blame any problem in this marriage to Kate. It is sooo clear that she is controlling, narcissitic, neurotic woman that undermines and outright disrespects her husband. He does all the work and she just sends orders. She is completely inflexible and uncompromising. She pushes and pushes his buttons and eventually he is going to react. From a fan's perpective, I am with John all the way. The poor kids that have a monster for a mother.

She treats that man like one of the kids!  I have watched this show since the begining and wont be watching it any more.  It seemed very "day-in-the-life" jind of thing and now all we watch them do is go on free trips and watch Kate roll her eyes or correct Jon speak.

No more jon and kate plus eight for me!!

I think it is absurd to think that Kate would throw Jon out. Jon has got to be tired of the constant ridicule and belittling that Kate bestows on him, show after show. I can't help but watch because I want to badly to like her for all of her craftiness and organizational skills, but the longer I watch the more I wince at her heartless eye rolls to Jon while he's not looking.

It's obvious to see why he's so frustrated with the fame. He so badly needs a break and he's not able to get it! He's caught between a rock and a hard spot! Either stay for the kids and show (and money) or leave and have America look at you like a loser dad for not supporting your family, news flash people, WE are supporting that family for watching, so give the man a break. Kate doesn't seem to need one, what with all of her shopping and new (bad) hair do's, so let Jon have one.

Kate is soooooo self-serving, loud, obnoxious, and a drama queen.  I am soooo sick of her being condesending to Jon.  Tonight when Jon was trying to express his feelings about the lack of privacy, she would not let him talk without interrupting him.  Another example of her lack of respect, she is suppose to be a wife and a mother first, before being a celebrity.  Out of respect for Jon and as his wife, if he is so miserable working from home, why can she not support him going back to work outside of the home?  She is a poor excuse for a wife.

Also, just because Jon was out having a few beers and talking to a couple of females does not mean he had an affair.  Let's remember that there are 8 children involved and these types of rumors hurt the entire family.

Tyrone, that was immature and unintelligent to say. I hope all is well with their marriage.

Tyrone,

I honestly can't believe you think that Kate has TIME to cheat on Jon.  Are you serious?

I think Jon has been unhappy for a long time.  I've noticed on several shows,  Kate disrespecting him by cutting him off and belittling him all the time.  He's probably fed up with her, but I dont think he will leave his children.

The first couple of their shows were interesting but since then it has gone downhill to the point where it is rather painful to watch. So..I don't watch! She has definitely some major problems and worst of all, takes great pride in making him look like an idiot. She is never there...off on business so no wonder she loves her life. My prediction is it will not last and the losers will be those cute kids.

wow   sounds like the plot of a TV Movie  

i was disappointed with the season's final show.  i thought that they would at least address the issue that they need help as a couple.  

i am not saying that i think they should separate, but that they should work on thier relationship.  kate often belittles john on camera, which is out of line, and  i'm sure jon is no angel either

if you are married, and you love your spouse, you don't let anyone else trash your partner, much less do it yourself, especially on national tv.  you support your partner, you raise them up.

i think that if they decide to do another season, as kate so much wants to do, that they need to take a break, and reconnect as a couple, and as a family, perhaps get some counseling...(not on camera)

they have a lot at stake here, they have 8 children who need them to work together as a team to take care of them.  and they need to be strong as a couple... after all, what's left when the kids have grown up and moved on? are they going to stay together strong as a couple, or are they going to split, because they were only together for the sake of the kids, because they don't seem to be in the relationship for each other any more.

everyone needs to just leave them alone they have enough raising 8 children and the show is to try and finance the childrens lives.. people just leave them alone.. God will work things out for them...

Maybe so Kay but JOn and Kate arent finaceing there kids life with this show.  The children are.  Without the kids they ould be nobodies but in the end what do the kids get out of it.  THey work all these years and when they grow up after the show is long gone.  Where will be there money?

I, too, have been watching the show from the beginning and I think Jon and Kate have done a great job of raising their kids, even with all the fighting and bickering.  I will continue to watch this show, but there is only one thing that upsets me- all the free stuff they get.  I understand that the producers help them find out where to take the kids and stuff, but like the finale, they got to go to a basketball game, have courtside seats, and meet the players afterwards.  I think that it's too much for the kids, and if they stop doing the show, what will the kids say when they don't do stuff like that anymore?  I just think it's sad.  As for the cheating, I agree they need to get out more together, but you can't always leave your kids off at someone else's house, like Aunt Jodi (where has she been lately?).  Anyways, another thing is how Kate applaudes herself for her new wardrobe and style.  Come on- it's easy with money and people to help you out. Good luck to the if they do another season!

I started out watching the show when it first came out even my 4 year old son loves it. the way that kate treats jon is wrong she is so damn mean to him. i notice that  when they are sitting on the set of the little "confessional" they dont say much anymore over the past few episodes. and i dont think that jon will leave his children come on.. how would he pay all that shild support becasue you know kate is going to want all she can get. and if jon does leave he should take the children he seems to have more patience with them, kate is a good mother but doesnt have very much patience. in the end i hope they work everything out and get the help they need because those 8 children need their parents to be together. they need that more than anything. so im hoping that they make it through it because every relationship has problems and if you really love eachother you will work thru it and come out on top. and it will be better than ever!!

I don't blame jon if he is cheating on her. Kate is a *** and has let the camera and money get to her head. She is ungrateful and just uhhh....

Kate...wow!!!  What an egostical stuck up spoiled disrespectful woman.  John really enjoys being a father to those kids and he loves them very much. Kate enjoys the attention.  I think is is quite selfish of Kate to expose their beautiful kids to a harsh cruel world the way they are going about doing it...they are capitolizing on those kids.  What are they going to do when the lights are finally out?  What will those kids do when the attention is not on them anymore...what will Kate do?  I think that kids who are forced into something at such a young age could potentially grow up and be dependent on something whether it is alcohol or drugs or some type of emotional problems.  Haven't you even thought about this?  Have you not done the research?  Come on, stop being selfish KATE and let those innocent kids grow up as normal as possible...take notes from the Obamas.  Oh and Kate, you really need to think about how disrespectful you are to John and how selfish your are.  You really don't deserve him.  I really stopped watching the show when you chose the puppies, you chose the names for the puppies as well.  That really proved how selfish you were and how it is all about Kate and nothing about the rest of the family, including your great husband.  STOP BIENG SELFISH!!!

I love to watch Jon and Kate plus 8.But Kate is a little over the top with her immature behavior with Jon.Jon seams to be a great husband and dad.I hope the show will continue for years to come.

i think they need to take a season or two off to breath...then go back to the show so they can make the money to raise the children and hopefully put thru college..they had the children so they need to raise them together..bottom line...my grandchildren love to watch this show and for me i injoy them going on trips..i get to see things interesting when its filmed..good luck jon and kate..donna

I also love the show. But kate is a bit over the top. Also did TLC really buy them the new house? Holly cow they have it made!

Kay  "God will work things out for them..."  

You are kidding right?  WTF does 'god' have to do with it?  So...all the divorced or separated couples in the world were they unworthy of 'gods' help?  You are an idiot.

Kate needs to seek counseling, and she and Jon should go to marriage counseling.  Kate acts like she's the only one who knows anything, and rolls her eyes and interrupts anyone who dares to speak in her presence.  Her attitude has changed dramatically from when they first started this.  I used to think she was bossy and annoying then, but boy, has it gotten worse!!  I hope the kids don't grow into obnoxious "I deserve everything I want" types.  They're the only reason I keep watching.  

I would hate to see Jon and Kate split.  They do seem to love each other and all couples go through peaks and valleys.  Kate is definitely the dominant spouse which isn't all bad.  I was raised in a family in which my mother was the dominant parent.  I am the eldest of eleven.  In a large family--nay, in any family--you need someone who will be the organizer and see that the children learn love and respect.  If not, you have total chaos and brats.  Ideally both spouses would do this as with "Eighteen Kids and Counting."  But sometimes one parent is more laid back and the other is the organizer.  

What I got out of the episode last night may be part of the issue.  Jon is not comfortable having the world see his life. He is more private.   He seems to want to work at a regular job and not be a househusband.  I don't care how much money they are making from this show, nor if they need extra money. If the show continues for another season, I think they should let Jon get a job that he wants and not be home all the time, if that is his wish.  I suspect that Kate has plenty of help from the show's crew.  The character of the show was different and more relaxed when Kate was in the museum with the children.  I suspect that Jon not being able to fulfill a career may be part of the tension, maybe a good part.

However, I do agree that, for the sake of the family and the children, the show needs to end or at least take a sabbatical.  I hate to see the show go, but sometimes decisions that are right for one's family and one's life are not easy and cannot be made based on wealth.  Maybe they can come back once a year for an update for their fans.

This is just my humble opinion.  Whatever their decision, I wish them the best and I will say a prayer for their growth as a family and as a couple.

kate sucks!! this is not a show about jon and kate plus 8 this is a show about kate. I use to like the show alot but i hope they don't have another season. Kate has changed soooo much since the begining. I just don't think that there are to many people who can relate. I mean I think in the begining alot of us moms could relate to staying home all day with kids we knew how challenging that can be, but kate doesn't stay home all day with the kids any more she's out shopping or doing god knows what else. She is has been gone on business trips alot lately. This show is really not as good as it use to be. I feel for all the kids. God Bless these kids because they need it.

Jon and Kate are like any other couple ,all couples have there ups and downs

I think John knew how kate was when they got married and visa versa.. I think it to bad that people think so little of Mom's and Dad's when they just want to go out and relax with some friends. Whether it be to have a drink with some friends or just hanging out. I feel bad cuz I think this couple and there kids are very extrodinary. I have learned alot from watching this show. I am a mother and it is hard as a mom to leave for a couple of hrs for some me time and my husband feels the same. I dont think anyone has the right to judge Jon and /or Kate what they do. No one is perfect! I do Wish them them no matter what they do in the near future.

Jon and Kate are great parents!  Look at those kids...do they look unloved.  Respect gains respect. Those kids genuinely love and respect their parents.  That doesn't come about on its own.  These children are modeling the behavior that they witness day in and day out even when the cameras aren't there.  Give both Jon and Kate a break!  They deserve a lot of credit for providing their children with a healthy and loving family environment.

I used to love this show, it made my Monday nights.  I can't stand it anymore and really would love it if TLC would cancel it.  I think the kids are getting old enough that a weekly show is not as cute as it used to be.  I could see a yearly update on all the kids, but it's getting a little ridiculous w/ every week.   I agree with them getting all of these freebies and becoming very accustomed to their grand lifestyle.  I can not stand KATE and I hate, hate her hairstyle....can TLC please intervene with that atleast.  The kids are going to be as ungrateful and egotistical as Kate.  

I will say that I am very excited about the new show Table for 12.  They seem like a great family w/ genuine love for one another.  

They both need time away from one another and Maddie needs counseling.

I hope for the family they can get a handle on her behavior. Has anyone else noticed her?

For me the show stopped being about the kids when Kate declared that she was writting a book about the kids in orderr to remember everything. There was no need for her to do that. Their  life is taped almost daily. As for keeping the memories, well, that's what journals are for. But I guess one doesn't make money for keeping a private journal. Last night she was saying how much she loves her life as a stay at home mom. Why wouldn't she? Her face orange, too much teeth whitenning, looking like a diva wanna be , she looks nothing like a struggling mother of 8 who is hands on and and doesn't have time to go to tanning salons. The reason most people watched the show  was because they were real, for better or worse the kids were their priority. I"m in pain just watching Jon looking like a 2 year old . I'm  surprised Kate hasn't put him in time out yet. He needs to send lovely Kate on a looong vacation (spa included) so he can exhale.

I definitly think a nice break is a good idea. They don't have to start fliming another season in two months. Weather they should or not depends on what right for the family. They don't have to do it all the time. They don't have to film year round. And weather or not they return in the future, a break is definitly a great idea and they do need there privitcy and to work things out without the camera around.

I for one If I had a show, wouldn't allow the camera's into my house unless if was a special occusion or something, which is rare. My family is very private and I wouldn't want camera's in my house on a regulary basis. They could film us enjoying ourselves outside of the house, but not in it.

kate needs to be thankfull john still arond after her sorry ass attitude his a real man a good dad n great person you go john!!! his really hot too and she is to ugly for him!

I used to live this show in the beginning, now it's just annoying.  It is now the Kate show.  Did you see how she took the pen out of Jon's hands when he was going to write something on the wall?  

And what's up with that orange tan of hers?  In the dead of winter yet.  I am so disapponted with the show.

Tracey,

They are a God believing family and God will work things out. No, all the separated or divorced people ARE worthy of Gods time and help. It's us as humans that make the CHOICE to ignore that help and fall away from pursuing our spouses with LOVE and RESPECT. Of course there are those instances in which it is ok to walk away from a marriage bc of infidelity or abuse. Believing in the glory and grace of God is not idiotic, it's uplifting and empowering. Relying on the Lord to Bless their marriage and humble them to their knees and love oneanother and their children is something that I hope they do daily. Taking the time to appreciate one another and ask for forgiveness because of faults is a hard task. Kate may be strong willed and for those of you who cannot stand her. This is not your marriage. Her and Jon married each other not the rest of the world. So yes, the best thing that we as viewers can do is pray for them. Respect their family. And do not judge them, because in the end, it will be God that will judge all of us and what we think will not matter to HIM.

the show is very unreal. i think jon is the glue that holds the family together -- and that kate is very full of herself. like a female rush limbaugh.

if they really want privacy, they SHOULD say "so long" to the cameras. really, we all won't miss them.

i really like this show, but my goodness kate needs to relax, maybe she needs some meds and she needs to be much more respectful of her husband and treat him as her partner, i would not even treat my dogs as she treats john, i am so sorry for her as she could have the greatest life, kate is a cute girl and if she would sweetin up she could be beautiful inside and out, thats what counts, her children are learning what they see and hear, this is not behavior children need to learn, kate is more vain about her appearance and material things now, not good, she dresses better then anyone in the family, obviously tanning, and that is fine as long as everyone reaps the same benefits. i just pray that whatever decision they make all will find happiness.

I've seen Jon take so much verbal abuse from that greedy wench, it surprises me that he hasn't filed for divorced already.  It's true that Jon is a bit of a pushover and most wives would abuse that, but Kate takes it to a whole new level.  Half the time Jon is looking like he's on the verge of depression for crying out loud.  I love the show, and like many others I'd hate to see it go, but do what's right for your kids, and your marriage.  If you really need the money from the show then do it, but get some marriage counseling going on the side that isn't being filmed.  

Kate has led it all go to her head, and every time she thanks the show for all the perks it brings the family, I can here insincerity of the statement ringing through it.

Jon's recent outing was much needed in my opinion, and I most definitely think that his visit to his mother's was a cover, for a much need vacation from Kate.  It's too bad he had to miss the museum though, I would've loved to see Jon with the kids there.

All in all, I hope you two can work things out and ditch the cameras sooner or later.

They could dump the show and go on with their lives enjoying some privacy, but... how are they going to pay for the new mansion worth over 1 million dollars they all moved into. I agree with others, I used to love the show, because it was about the kids, watching them grow and develop their individual personalities. Now it seems to be more about Kate and her OCD about cleaning and keeping things in absolute, perfect order. Now I prefer to watch "Table for 12" seems like a much more realistic show since one of their sixtuplets has special needs and you can see how it can really be for a large family in that situation

alejandra,

Where do you see God interjected into this family anywhere? At the dinner table where they say grace? Oh, wait that was "The Nelson Family" from the 60's.

Oh, I know it must be when they tuck the kids into be at night and have them say their prayers? Oh, wait that was Nelson family too. It had to have been when they show the entire family going to church on one of the many Sunday outings! Nope, that was "Leave it to Beaver.

Excuse me...John and Kate have never shown Godly love to their each other or their children. Do you even truly watch this show? Kate has no love, respect or honor for her husband John and it shows in how she treats him in every episode. What she does do is "TOLERATE HIM" to keep the show and all it gives to her.

I only hope the show is cancelled but lets face it...the public loves trash, filth and garbage. The more they see the more they love it. How else can you explain it's popularity. I only feel sorry for the children. Like Nadia Suloman I believe these children should have been taken away long ago and adopted out into loving families that would not put them on display like animals in a Zoo.

I ALWAYS LIKE THE SHOW .THEY BOTH HAVE CHANGED ALOT ,MOSTLY HER HER TUMMY TUCK,HER HAIR ,NAIL,BUT SHE NEEDS A COUPON FOR EVERTHING I THINK SHE DOES RIDE HIS BACK TALKS DOWN TOO HIM AND IF HE WENT FIND A PICE FROM SOMEONE NOT BITCHING HIM OUT GOOD FOR HIM .HE DOES MORE THEN ALOT OF MEN I KNOW AND IF SHE IS SO IN TO CHURCH, DONT THEY TELL YOU TO TALK TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO TALK BACK ,IF ANYTHING SHE IS DRIVING HIM AWAY I SEE AND I DONT LIVE WITH THEM AND BEEING ON TV FOR SO LONG HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT TO ,THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN THERES OTHER SHOWS JUST LIKE THERES WITH MORE KIDS ,KATE NEED A ZANX AND RELAX CHILL WOMEN....  

Dear Jon,

        Kick the nagging controlling bi*ch to the curb.

I don't think I will watch this show much anymore. It has been said that money can go to your head.While it is true that no one on this blog knows thse people I think there may be some truth to what some of us are saying. I'm sure that execs from TLC read some of these blogs and convey what some of us are saying. Having said that,it was very disturbing to me how disrespectful and annoying Kate was to Jon in the final interview.This woman is out of control. For Jon and the kids sake I hope this lady comes back to earth. I feel for her kids because they see how she is treating her husband. As for Jon-don't take that from her.She is your wife and you are her husband,act like it.Jon.put your foot down.She needs you to continue with the show.If she is as money hungry as she appears to be.Man up.I do hope that you and Kate can work everything out.You and Kate have a beautiful family and I wish you all the best. One more thing,show aunt Jodi some love.

Is it any wonder the world is in the shape it's in when you read some of these comments.  There needs to be respect within the family and it should start with Jon and Kate.  Did someone forget this is tv?  I don't believe for a moment that Jon cheated on Kate.  I believe most of this was staged for theatrical effect.  I for one hope they come back next season...I truly do.  I wish them a summer of good times with their family, and if they choose to return I will continue to follow their family.  They are a breath of fresh air and they just need some time to enjoy their new home and have the cameras off of them for a while.  Judge not lest ye be judged yourself!

I think jon is cheating on kate only because the way she acts towards him in each eposide. Also, i think kate cant haddle all the t.v. people in her house along with not liking jon. And finally i think jon should ditch her only because he would the only one supporting his family because kate doesn't work, and with out the t.v. show they wouldnt have moved into that new house or maybe not surivie in this ecomnay. it all for the money.

Jon already went on the record to discuss what happened. He went to his moms to visit and "blow off some steam". While he was at the bar, he ran into some girls and took pictures with them. He said it's the fame he can't handle. Kate obviously is more comfortable with being a celebrity of sorts. He values his privacy and really wants to dump the show and be left alone. I think they should. They have gotten way to used to the perks that won't be there forever and their marriage should be the priority. It won't do the kids any good to have perks if they split them between two households. Each person has flaws. Jon admits he could never organize everything without her and Kate admits she's too high strung and couldn't handle the stress without him there to diffuse it. I hope they never come back on tv and take time to fix the issues.

I think opposits attrack .They are like that. It looks like they don't match but I think they compliment each other well. Kate does controll alot but thats just a moms intinct to take control. With 8 kids days could get out of hand so easy. Thats why we watch , we are amazed how organized they are with 8 kids.

I am NOT a very big fan of the show. I wanted to be but honestly, Kate is just so mean sometimes to Jon and it makes me so frustrated and angry. She treats him like a dog in the way she acts and bosses him around. She should be BLESSED that she has a husband who IS THERE for her and all those children and has a husband who does whatever she asks. He is the one who gets very little respect from her, and when does she go out of HER WAY to do anything nice for HIM? It works 2 ways.. marriage. He DOES, DOES, DOES for her and gets very little in return. It's appalling. Kate needs to take a step back and remember that he's her husband and a really great guy. Alll of their lives have been changed with the birth of their children and their TV series but Kate thinks she's just the star of the show. Really... I used to be a big fan but it's HER who is always complaining and bossy and it's detracted from me even being able to STAND to watch the show anymore. I feel sorry for Jon. I really do. He deserves a wife who RESPECTS him, SHOWS respect for him, and shows AFFECTION AND LOVE and patience. If they are having problems I wouldn't doubt it one bit. It''s a shame too because they should focus on each other more and the reason they fell in love but I think they lost site of that like most married people seem to do. And the money has changed them... you can see it over the years how they have changed. And over the years Kate went from being admired in my eyes to being totally appalling at how she treats her husband. He's a PERSON... not one of the puppies!

I lost my husnband to another woman when I was injured and disabled and it's devestating to me. I WISH I had someone there that I could love and share life with and she's just pushing him away with her treatment of him. You can see it in both their eyes... watch them together. It's like they just tolerate each other now. I just hope she can learn to appreciate him more so that it's not too late (if it's not already) and save their marriage. They have a great life... but lack the emotions they had for one another in the beginning.

I also was in the public eye with my family at one point in time a few years ago and being the center of media attention and having the whole world aware of your private lives can be hard... especially when stories are made up that aren't true and the media starts trouble that isn't there. We all need to keep in mind that what we read IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE... and that there is alot we don''t see off camera. Really, Jon & Kate has invited the world into their lives and that decision comes with a price when the media chooses to create controversy. Who knows what the real story is between them... only they do and if they are having problems than people need to realize that marriage problems ARE NORMAL. Not everyone is perfect. IF Jon & Kate are having problems then it's their responsibility to address and work on the problems.

It doesn't help when all of America feels the need to chime in and point fingers.... we need to support them and pray for them. Not fuel even more gossip.

It's interesting how the main supporters of this pathetic 'reality' show are bible-thumping wackos...god this, god that, praise the lord, yadda yadda yadda....

Roger said it best:  kick this nagging controlling *** to the curb

I really hope that Kate will read these remarks and truly THINK about them.

Where does Kate shop... I like her clothes.  She said on the final show that she shops are her favorite store... which store?

Money and fame has gone to their heads.  Maddie has MAJOR issues but her parents are to busy to care.  Jon has not changed as much as Kate.  She is in it for what ever she can get.  Now that others are trying to "up" her, God only knows to what lenghth she will go.  This may be only a way to keep the cameras on them.  Let us all pray for the kids.  They will need them!!!

I heard that jon is going to hook up with octomom for a much bigger tv deal.

If Jon and Kate decide to stop with the show for whatever reason that's their choice. The viewing public shouldn't have any problems with "their" choice in this matter, if the shoe were on the other foot and it was "your" family you would want the same respect for whatever choice you made. There does come a time where you have to draw a line in the sand and maybe it's their time to do so. We have watched this family for 4 years now and i believe that it's time to let them live their lives in private ( as much as possible). As for the rumors of cheating, let them work it out in private and not on the show for all the world to see. Whatever you both decide i wish you all the best.

After watching the finale, I felt as though I had just watched the Kate Plus 8 Show.  Jon doesn't even seem to have a part in the show anymore or at least a very small one, which appears to be when Kate is rolling her eyes or interupting him.  Kate acts like she can't stand him one bit.  I hate to say it but Kate has really changed since the beginning of the series...she seems very arrogant and full of herself.  The endearing part of the show in the beginning was that they seemed like such a down-to-earth couple going through all the regular struggles and daily routines that we go thru as parents except with 8 kids.  But, now we are subjected to this couple who has moved into a mansion, has a nanny (I don't care what she calls her), and watch her shopping trips for clothing.  It's ridiculous.  P.S.  What's with Kate's tan?  Is she going to the tanning booth every day?  I'm not finding this show as sweet as it was in the beginning.  I still like Jon...he's just a regular guy.  

I've watched this show from the beginning.

First – I’ve said a long time ago that Kate was going to drive Jon away... Even in the early part of the shows airing - she was rude, crude and sometimes just plain "mean".  I think Jon is tenderhearted, and did a lot to appease her.  Now he may be over it... just as I am.  He LOVES his children... and I believe he has done his best to raise them in less than ideal circumstances.

I am sure that he and Kate both thought filming them would be a great idea… and it was in the beginning…  But there should have been a time limit set – to allow the family to have a “normal” life.

Second - I 've also said for a long time that Kara is getting the short end of the stick...  She is a very gentle, reserved child, who often "fades" into the background... while Maddie soaks up the spotlight.  The filming crew lends itself towards Maddie - as she is a drama queen.  Kara, on the other hand, is often ignored, and sometimes even looks “forlorn”.   She steps out of Maddie’s way, when Maddie doesn’t push her out. Maybe Kara too – would like to ditch the cameras.

I have often wondered what this family will do once the cameras go away...   The sextuplets will adjust quickly, I would think.  Still, all of the children have a "warped" sense of "reality"...  from spending all of this time on a "television" show... being handed trips and marketing "perks" left and right.

Having an annual show that updates "where they are now" might be fun for everyone... but the constant intrusion of outside influences cannot be healthy for the family long-term... And - the fact that Jon and Kate are so obviously unhappy makes it all the worse.  You could see this coming a mile away…

If Kate thinks that continually filming the family will protect her from the reality of her damaged marriage - she's got another thing coming.   They need counseling – and bad…

And - when Jon finally says "enough is enough"...  Kate had better watch herself or she's going to see him on the newest cycle of "The Bachelor".

Should the show not return and neither of them are employed, did they make enough during this time for 8 kids to live off comfortably along with affording their new home? Just curious since I haven't watched every episode and I know times would be tough for anyone entering the job market, let alone someone who has to support that many.

I do hope they work out whatever problems they are going thru. Jon seems like a super guy and probably needs to standup more to Kate unless that is all scripted. I hope so.

Thank you for a reply.

That new house they have...Holy crap it's huge!

I think Jon&Kate are having problems but I think that what they really need is to go on a vacation just the two of them (no kids? hahaha) with no cameras. They also should take a nice family vacation somewhere..But only if the TLC gods allow it. They're just having problems like any other couple.

I love watching the show because the kids are so damn cute, but I really think they should just let it go and move on. I know the kids are used to cameras being around, but what happens as Cara and Mady get older and don't want the camera people around?

I hope that this is not a family in trouble.  Raising one child is a challenge, but raising eight -- twins and sextuplets, I can't even imagine it.  Can you imagine 6 kids going through the terrible two's at the same time or potty training them?

I'm sure that when Jon and Kate took their wedding vows, those vows didn't say, "Until the going gets tough."  

I have read so many caustic comments about both Jon and Kate.  We only know them from watching them on tv.  I don't feel that the public is in any position to judge them.  

When our sons got married, I told them that the best gift that they could give each other and their children is to treat each other with love and respect.  That would be good advice for Jon and Kate, too.

I REALLY hope that they keep on doing it!!!!

Jon does not deserve Kate. She is strong and dominating - this is true. But it is always wuss boys like Jon that fall for women like that. I like that she admits her flaws and can take criticism. Jon does not seem that strong however. Now that folks are criticizing her flaws and the way she dominates Jon, HIS self-esteem seems to be wounded and he is acting out like one of his children. But, no matter what,  he should be defending her and standing up for the woman he married. Instead, he rolls his eyes, makes nasty comments and runs around in bars. Be a real man Jon - be strong and make your marriage work. You made a commitment and a real man would honor his marriage and his wife.  I watched an interview with Jon recently and when he was questioned about the criticism towards Kate, he merely changed the subject to talk about himself. That was a disappointment. I was hoping to hear him defend her. Regardless, I hope this all is not true regarding his cheating and abandonment. I wouldn't say i am surprised though. Weak people with low self-esteem behave like that - and that is exactly the person that Jon seems to be at the moment unfortunately. I just feel sorry for Kate and especially the kids.  

No matter if the show goes on or not, I hope they can all be happy together.

I think this is a great show and I think they are in between a rock and a hard place. The show has allowed them and their kids a life they never thought would happen, who can blame them. Their kids can go to college, they can live a great life, not worrying if they can put food on the table. If any of us were filmed they would catch those moments when we snapped at each other, put them together in a 20 minute show and make us look ugly. We would all do the smae things they have, take advantage of opportunities and try to build a future out of a new found success. They need balance and TLC needs to give it to them, take 6 months off filming and start again, reignite interest.To make it this far, there must be a great deal of love there. I wish them every succuss and I hope they continue to ahre what REAL families look like.

To 'Melba':

You're mistaken, the public has EVERY right to to judge this gypsy family (aka The Gosselins) as long as they are airing their lives on public television...

And the reasons for all the caustic comments are simple:  this family is a disgrace and should be cancelled

I was watching some of the original shows.. and wow kate has changed so much.. i get tired of hearing boys are icky and gross..and why would a person with ocd get 2 huge puppies in the middle of winter? I think they got married way too young.. and the money has gone majorly to her head!

If Jon and Kate are an example of what love is- we're all screwed. They don't love each other. They can barely stand each other. I wish they did though. I used to watch the show and try to emulate them with my own husband. But not anymore-not since he divorced me. I only have my two cats and my baby to keep me company. Why did Jon and Kate have to do this!!!

I believe Roger and Kelly's comments are very offensive.  Does anyone monitor these comments?  Apparently they need someone to address their anger issues and get them some help.

I feel bad for the kids and Jon.  It is obvious that Jon is not happy.  Kate is the one wearing the pants in that family.  Things need to change in that family.  Family therapy may be the place to start.  I wish Jon strength and the kids the best.

I honestly don't feel bad for Jon. If I were in that position I would be the exact same way. Raising 8 kids isn't easy. With out the constant bickering, nagging, and yelling; that house would be a MAD HOUSE. No lie. Honestly Kate is going to push Jon away. But how can you deal with 8 kids, who cries, fights, screams, and act like plain kids? Yes, there are nannies in the background but there is only so much one person can handle. To be honest I don't think 4 -5 people can take care of those kids. If Jon left I think it would be a hideous decision. He is going to hurt the kids for sure and his wife. When you get married, your aren't just getting married. You are vowing to be committed. Damn, to think which one gets which kid?

Okay if you were the mother of eight wouldnt you too be a little stressed all the time... she knows that she cant take it out n the kids so it seems she only has jon to take it out on.  I hope that they do have another season Monday nights wont be the same with out them in my " tv schedule" . I can see if they take a while to just "breathe" and what tyrone said that is just Bull she isnt like that only people that dont really know the show say that. He probably just doesnt like the show everyone that i know that  doesnt like it say the same thing. But i cant wait for Sunday April 19 when they do their show " Jon and Kate Plus 8: Go Green" and all of my friends that are "obsessed" with the show cant wait either we are counting down the days. Cant wait and to all of you people that are haters just dont pay attention to the show or anything about it and then you wont have to say bad things abput them or belittle them like kate "does" to Jon. I LOVE JON AND KATE PLUS EIGHT AND IT WILL NOT END!!!!!!!!

I think that Jon nad Kate should reallly just settle this and move on doing the show becaus ethis show helps everyone through the good and the bad times........ I have loved  this show from the beginning! Kate and Myself are really close and we go way back but for regards to her i will keep my real name a secert. Their children are adorable and i have  seen what they can do first hand and i will say there are some tough times and thats why i think jon and kate should go out once a month for dinner or something by themselves and have a nice evening with no distractions or screaming kids! see u monday!

I know families with 8 and 9 and even 14 children and their children are not BRATS like the Jon and Kate's brood.

The children SCREAM and PUNCH and PINCH and LIE!!!  That is NOT normal behavior but Kate is so defensive that she pretends her kids are "just kids" and that their stress is because they are multiples.  THEIR STRESS COMES FROM THEIR GOOFY PARENTS!!!

Kate is an anal bwitch who can't keep her nasty mouth shut!

Jon is a BUM who can't keep a job!

They both VALUE THINGS and MONEY and the only way they can get money is this phony "reality" bad acting job they cooked up.

No one should admire them; they are horrible parents and lazy users.  That FACT is evident by their dysfunctional family; they like to make excuses, but their children are completely out of control!  Rather than look at how parents of "decent" and "happy" and "well-adjusted" children comport themselves; Jon and Kate make even more excuses to cover  their incompetent and shoddy behavior.    Kate's anal list making and screaming DOES NOT FOOL ME!  She uses those "techniques" as a way to GET OUT OF DOING ANY ACTUAL WORK!  She is the "Queen Bee" who does nothing but flit around and COMPLAIN!!!  Jon uses his "projects" as a way to cover up the fact that he is a lazy doofus who does not support his own family and that he has not a single clue as to how to be a father!

Their "Christianity" is just another phony scheme to get more money out of the public.  NO CHRISTIANS ACT LIKE THESE TWO NASTY PEOPLE!  

Kate should ACTUALLY take care of those kids instead of making others responsible for some portion of their care.

Jon should ACTUALLY get a job; a real 9 - 5 job where he DOES SOMETHING to EARN MONEY for his family.

They should both START LIVING WITHIN THEIR MEANS; THOSE KIDS DON'T HAVE TO BE DRESSED IN "ADORABLE MATCHING OUTFITS" EVERY SINGLE SHOW!  Jon does  not need yet another van every few months.  Kate does not need to spend nearly as much time on her  personal care while griping that she has no time for luxury.  

How many "vacations" have they had?  How many "special occasions" have they had?  How many "houses" have they had?  How many "photos" have they had?  How many "special days" have they had for each of the children?  It is as if Kate lays awake nights trying to figure out even more "special treats" for her and her brood!   THEY HAVE EVERYTHING TO EXCESS AND IT IS SIMPLY NOT NECESSARY.

Kate puts way too much emphasis on the fact that they are multiples without admitting THAT THEY ARE MULTIPLES BECAUSE SHE AND JON COULD NOT CONCEIVE NORMALLY!!   Wow, talk about rewarding bad behavior.  She wants those who have six kids normally to bow down to her because she had an artificially induced  litter!    She CHOSE to have that many children and she should NEVER open her greedy mouth to complain.  She KNEW what she was doing but didn't care.  She wanted "something for nothing" which is how she lives her life.  EVERYONE ELSE PAYS, but not Kate!  Kate just had to "have a brood" so she now gets to live for free!  

Kate is greedy beyond words; that is what she is teaching her children!  Don't work for what you want; BEG!  Don't get a job, GET A TIN CUP AND STICK IT IN PEOPLE'S FACES AND THEN DARE THEM NOT TO GIVE YOU THEIR HARD-EARNED MONEY!!!  (After all, brood sows are worth more than those who have children normally; according to Kate the greedy manipulator!)  

Jon is a lazy doofus who does not have the ability to hold down a real job; rather than being embarrassed by that fact, and rather than trying harder, and trying to be like other people, it is easier for him to believe Kate's illogic; that they are OWED something because they chose to have a litter rather than a family!

Scarpelli I agree with some of what you said but your jealously/ hate/ anger, got in the way of your message. CHill OUT!!!

Jon should leave Kate and get a new wife for the show.  She is a train wreck. So bossy and so into herself.  They made a lot of money off this, free trips, I'm sure new house had a lot of perks offered to them, she has to get a reality check on herself to go forward as I'm sure a lot of people would like to see the kids grow up.

Why does everyone pick on Kate? Can you imagine having eight kids at home, six of which are the same age? You have got to get your husband in line if he doesn't have the incentive to do it himself. That said, Jon and Kate are both great people. I like Jon's sense of humor and Kate's sense of organization. I think they are going through what a lot of couples go through - except that they have eight kids to make their marriage difficulties a lot more poignant. I just have to defend Kate. She's not a ***. She's a mother of eight children. EIGHT CHILDREN. She and Jon are doing a fabulous job raising them in my opinion. Children tend to make our best and worst character traits more visible to our sposues.

i think that no matter what they should try to be friend they do have 8 kids ....

kate dont worry everything happend for a reason ...jonh ,dude you are vey nice but wake up dude ..you have 8 kids ..talk to he ,,remenber first day together as a couple ok bye

I don't believe for a second that Kate is devastated over Jon's alleged affair with her new book out and the rating for their finale...don't you guys think? Bottom line, Kate needs to stop whoring out her children to make a buck and get freebies. I feel for Jon every time she belittles him or cuts him off when he tries to talk.. I used to like her alot in the beginning. Now it's just so hard to watch because of her "celebrity status" ways. I just feel for the kids.

I think the whole thing is a publicity stunt. I also think it is something the show is doing to try and get veiwers to like Kate. So many people can't stand her. Their trying to get people to feel sorry for her and give her a better reputation. Guess what it didn't work! No one cares. We can't stand her! She is obnoxious and trys to take credit for everything Jon does. He practically raises those kids himself. She is always gone on book tours. He picks them up and takes them to school, does their little craft projects, and plays with them outside. What does Kate do? She spends a lot of time barking orders and letting him know what a poor job he is doing. She makes me sick. I can't stand to watch the show and haven't watched one this whole season. Their time is up, please cancel this show for the kids sake!

It's always shocking when women get "tuff" but it takes an even tougher man to make it work when things get rough.  Usually, if you don't cheat then the woman will work it out once she sees you've had enough.  I had to move out after a few times of sleeping at my parents until it seemed like she started to stop snapping all the time and being a total...pessimist.  It can really drive you nuts.  But to be fair, I have a guy friend that is the closest thing to having another wife I swear.  I have to tell him that we aren't married and I don't need to explain why I don't return his calls lol.

This situation is just getting out of hand. I used to like this show.I used to have respect for them as parents but no more.I for one don't understand how Jon let his wife cut him down so much.It is TV I know and editing can change how this show is perceived but it is obvious to me and I could be wrong that Kate is out of control and money hungry and craves the spot light.I recently saw the Green special where Jon and Kate had Steve Thomas install solar panels. She was such a B**ch.I think Steve thought so too and was taken aback as a result.I don't know if Jon or Kate has cheated on each other I just hope that they make the right choices when it comes to thier children. Kate is a media hog out of control. They way she berated Jon in the season finale and the disrespect of Aunt Jodi is indicative to me that she has let all this media get to her head and at the expense of her family.

I want to hate this show so badly....and yet I can't turn away!! This goes along with the Jon & Kate Subject...I found this comic, although it's slightly in bad taste. (still made me laugh)

For four exciting seasons, we have been watching TLC’s hit show Jon and Kate Plus 8, eagerly waiting

Jon and Kate need to have a show with Dr Phil.  Hopefully Phil will agree and will be straight with them BOTH as he is with most couples he has on his show.

However I have watched this show off and on and in my humble opinion, I feel Kate has been so hard on Jon, she has critisized his hair (he got implants) his teeth (they both had them whitened) his breathing (not sure how they cured that one, maybe it was the final straw) she slaps his face (playfully???) Butts in on his comments, rolls her eyes, screams at him in public and in front of the kids, rolls her eyes when he is voicing his opinion and generally belittles him.

I know she has a full time job with those kids, but she has helpers, she seems to spend more time on the road promoting a book her friend wrote for her, she is full of herself.  Her love for her kids in not in question, however I have watched her screetch at her kids, be really nasty to them and she find Maddi to be a real hoot, probably because Madi reminds her of herself.  

I will say no more, I could go on for hours.  I just hope these folks will get over themselves, close their doors on the public, and concentrate on getting their act together.  Marriages have their ups and downs, and I am sure we have all had times when we would like to step out of our responsibilities, but we work it out and we remember our kids and what is really important.

I think it's time to go to yearly update shows.  There are many other reality shows about large families that are more honest and real life.  This one is gotten way to glam and really more about Kate than the rest of the family.  I have thought from the start that Kate was a bit hard to take but Jon took it in stride and actually handled her behavior well, but it had to finally take him down.  I thought that she was really acting it up on the new season show.  She was alot more huggy and kissy with the kids than normal.  I think she was playing up the feel sorry for Kate saga to extreme.  Also thru out the show she was real good at giving orders to every one and everyone didn't look thrilled about it,but yet she didn't work real hard(she was a tad to dressed up to get her hands dirty)  I do think she plays up the part of doing everything herself and always being home but yet I think she's gone alot and has a lot of help raising those kids.  I do think for the most part that the kids are very well behaved but that maybe because of the help instead of the parenting.  Most parents of large families don't have so much time to spend on themselves but from the looks of it they do, at least Kate looks like it.  I'm not saying that she should look disheveled and tired all the time but she looks awfully good for Someone one with that many kids( Jon does look disheveled and tired).  I do think if they want this marriage to work they need to get rid of the cameras and get back to real life and work as a team, not one boss giving all the orders.  These kids need to really see what real life is like before they get any older.  Also Jon needs to man up and speak up for himself more.  Kate needs to get back to real life instead of celebrity and tone it down.  I hope for the best for this family.

I am done with this show.  I used to enjoy it but over the years I am sick to death of hearing Kate say "we are doing it for the kids" .  Which part is for the kids, the hair transplant, the teeth whitening, the tummy tuck, the new white sports care Jon bough, the book signings, the trips she takes away from home, the nails?? Get a grip she does it for herself and her ego.  I think both of them are fools and I think TLC should pull the plug on the show, that is something that should be done for those poor kids.  

I've been watching the TLC marathon of J&K+8 this past weekend, and I've noticed that Kate was much kinder to Jon in the earlier episodes. There was such a cooperative between the two of them; it was all about raising their 8 children to the best of their abilities. And I love the show, partially for the children, but I really do think that TLC needs to just cancel the show. Jon and Kate have said in one of those Q&A shows that they'd continue with the series as long as it was good for their children. Their mother away from home all the time, so that they are being minded by "helpers"? Paparazzi following them all over the place? Having children listen as their mother belittle and berate their father, not only in front of them but in front of a camera? That CAN'T be good for them. The show isn't about documenting the children and their growth. It's exposing the children to fame that they've never asked for—were never given a choice about—and exploiting them. Watch any of the marathons on the show. You'll see how the show moves from showing what the kids do in the house, going to school, etc. to Kate taking the kids to do crafts (like pottery; seriously? I do that pottery stuff, and it's not cheap) or Kate shopping or them making appearances on shows or taking vacations.

I think that that is still Jon's goal: to document his children's growth. He doesn't seem to want the popularity and the fame that comes with it. I think Kate likes the attention, but I think she's become spoiled on it. Someone should strap her to a chair and make her watch the first two hour-long specials they first did, to see what it was like when she first agreed to do this show. She'd perhaps be reminded that she, once upon a time, complained about meals and cleaning up and naptimes, and that those are good things. Those are things that were part of raising her children, on her own and not by "helpers."

Cancel the show. I love the kids, but for THEIR sake and for the sake of Jon and Kate's marriage, cancel the show. Let them be a family, without our prying eyes. Cancel the show and never bring it back. Spare those kids years of therapy and counseling. We lived just fine before the show; we'll be fine after. Hopefully, they will too.

Talk about watching a train wreck!  Maddie needs serious counseling as she is acting like Kate.  Kate loves 'stuff' and has gone Hollywood, so why does she ponder why Jon has changed so much in the past 6 months?  Why have they not had Christian: separate counseling, then marriage counseling? Kate said she has been thinking about what happened to Jon. Can a narcissist like Kate figure out she has problems? The kids do not look happy and they are showing signs of tensions coming from Kate and Jon. Kate is rude, controlling and I don't think she realizes it. I would look like Jon if I was criticized all the time and ordered around.  If he stands up to her, then he's the brute.  Jon looks depressed and Kate needs meds, therapy, and a reality check on what her children's future will be.  Put the damn books in B& N, stay home, let Jon get a job, and 'spa out' when you like.  Ever heard of compromise, Kate??   Good luck, but that was one depressing show.  I actually got a headache from Kate!  Let's call it Kate minus 8.  Those poor kids, and look how they love their dad. I think if Kate got help, Jon could be happy.  God bless them.

This show used to be my monday evening routine as i'd sit down and couldn't wait to see what the sextuplets and twins were up too. The show really made me feel like i was part of their family and i'm sure for a lot of other people it did the same. Its so upseting to see my favourite family fall apart. The show used to be parents of 8 kids and the challenges they face everyday, as a family. Thats all it used to be about, the kids and making a family of 10 work together as a family should. They lasted for apparently four "happy" years, you have to give the Goselins credit for that. In the fourth season I was a little dissapointed to see the massive home they purchased, although there are 10 of them, a house the size of a street is not necassary. I know plenty of people with famlies of 10 and they manage in a house the size of the Gosselins old home. After the premier of season five, I was so heartbroken that all this is happening to Mady, Cara, Leah, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Joel and Collin. Those poor kids, as much as I hate and dread to say it, but Jon and Kate Plus 8 needs to stop airing. Kate needs to end her book tour and her "job" thats for the kids and jon needs be a little more careful. There was paparazzi following these kids while buying treats for their 5th birthday, can you imagine what these kids have to deal with at school, being followed home, being surrounding by even more cameras. It has to stop, for the sake of those adorable children. I love the Gosselins and the way the show used to be, and I want to thank them for the times they made me laugh and smile.

I was saddened last night  by the last show of  season 4  of  Jon and Kate plus 8. It was bittersweet to see the Kids enjoying their 5th birthday party at a time when their parents are having such a difficult time loving eachother and making their marriage work.  It was heart wrenching to see Jon and Kate reveal their feelings on national TV for everyone to tear apart in one way or another.  How can we judge them when we have not been in their shoes. Eight kids, in such a short time, is a  huge adjustment in itself for any marrige. They are a brave couple in many ways to have shared their lives, and families with us and they need our support and prayers. My advice to  Jon and Kate is to put season  5 on hold, Ask  God to help you work on your love for eachother and your  marriage.  Turn off the cameras and turn on to God.

God Bless.

I watched the premiere last night. No surprise to me that she looked like a movie star in a dress at her kids birthday party.   I was irritated most with how Kate did not take the blame for anything. Once again she is the victim, Jon seemed to be mature enough to say he made mistakes. Kate says yes i was hard on him but do i think i drove him tothis NO!.... he made his choices. And was blaming Jon good enough for her NOPE she had to also blame it on the kids saying people with multiples are 3 time more likely to divorce. WOW! way to point the finger. None of whats going on has anything to do with Kates abuse of Jon. the man could not breath, talk right, constantly talked over her tho she never shut up, couldn't disciplin his kids and lets not forget about not using coupons. personally if you can buy a 1.3 million dollar home a sports car and fashionable clothes take trips all over the US is a coupon REALLY that big of a deal?

Then she said her kids called her by her babysitters name but that was ok coz they are Happy Secure Safe and Loved..... Really- mom and dad are splitting  mom is never around they have strangers caring for them. they are being chased by the paparazzi if not already they are going to start school and mom and dad will not be there to keep them safe. I read on another site were there were people talking about going to the school just to "SEE" them so now you have paparazzi and any other "fan" and sick individauls chasing these kids. I think happy and safe are pretty much out of the picture.

And how about Maddy yes she's a brat but she is the only true reality on the show, 1 pictures that is it-jumped up right after the flash. Kate says she is doing this for her family isn't Jon and Maddy family too? I hope they work it out do I think if Kate wants her kids to be truely happy they need to be surrounded by a loving family not cameras.

Eff the media

IF Kate really "loves her kids to pieces" then she should prove it by loving her husband and treating him with respect.  She SAYS she loves her kids, right??? Then she should love their father.  She's a wicked mean-spirited woman and I can't grasp how the Christian community continues to embrace her - someone Christian - a counsellor or pastor maybe - should pull her aside and offer to help for free (that would be her price, you know).  She is a fine example of how NOT to treat your husband.  Wicked angry woman, she be.

And shame on TLC - th

Like so many others, I watched "THE" episode because I wanted to see if they were going to do something about their relationship.  Well.......I won't be watching anymore!  Kate plus 8, not for me.  I don't feel 2 seconds of sorry for her.  She has a way of emasculating a man that just doesn't sit well with me.  Jon, take your balls out of Kate's purse and tell her what to do with all that poor me crap.  Sorry, but I can't watch anymore.  Used to love it.  Not anymore.

Kate isn't christian, shes a control freak, shes taking everything as far as she can, and i am sure shes doing it for the money. Jon isn't the picture of perfection either, but if i had that pendulous midget bitching at me for 5 years, i would probably cheat on her too, and if he did, so what, she rides him like a rented mule.

She consistently treats him like the mat at your front door you scrape the dog *** on before you set foot in your house.

Give me ten minutes with that overbearing trollop and i will give you something worth watching... at least up until her mental breakdown.

This woman needs to be completely crushed.... mentally and physically.

To sum it up: I have never seen a wench more deserving to be eviscerated  than this sad, shambling, diarrhea encrusted specimen that is force fed into Americas gap toothed maw every week.

Jon: go bang whoever you want. Kate's just some week willed prostitute that needs to be erased from you're children's memory anyway.

i personaly LOVE john and kate plus 8 and some times people make mistakes and we dont no if all the rummors are even true i rean people could photo shop those pictures of john and i agree john cant be just john he has to be john and kate plus 8 but then on the other side you cant expect to go on a t.v show and have no poperoze but i think if the poperozie want to get the inside scoop and no about there life then they should have watched the show because they were giving us just enough information on the show now we cant wathch them at all because of them

I continue to watch this show solely to see how much more outrageous Kate can get.  While I don't approve of violence, she needs a good smack, or at least, her mouth shut with duct tape.  I saw the cover of US magazine featuring Kate on the cover in a bikini and almost lost my lunch.  Didn't anyone see the scar from her tummy tuck on the right side?  Any other woman who looked like that in a bikini would settle for a tankini.  Is she trying to turn herself into a sex symbol?

As for Jon, he's nuts for taking this treatment and letter it be televised.  The kids are already screwed up and will need years of therapy.

I love watching der show, its great and its so real but it starts hurting me now.

I am a straight believer about the husband should be the leader of the house and  he is the head leading the whole family forward and the wife is the neck , supporting the head. I learned this through my bible and my faith in Jesus. And the blessing is ALWAYS there when one follows this divine order and not giving way to fear !!! Surely there is always room for compromising and discussing. We , as wives should remember our position at home and learn to protect our men's pride. And  should be grateful that Jon is being honest about his feelings n about the direction he wants to choose. He is trying to be the leader and the man in the family , so let him be !! ( if not anything selfish)

Kate, is a great mum and have poured her life into de family, we should give her a salute. She is a strong woman and Jon is a soft and sensitive person.There may be times he is not happy and  might not say it out to her, its just because he is a softie. So she doesnt know about his feelings and she would push n push n push, until he couldnt stand it. Obviously he is not happy now, and thats very dangerous as a husband or a wife, his needs are not being met, and temptation is just round at the corner.The couple's needs should be met by each other, not the third person outside the marriage. Relationship is ETERNALLY far more important than anything else in this world. Even you gain the whole world, and lose your husband, is it still worth it?

Kaite has to be strict. One day of letting things go would take days days to restore. you see this on the duggers.Kate and Jon children are smart happy and get to see wonderful things that are educational as well as fun.Part of the show allows them to do this who wouldnt, come on.I am happy for them.Yes it is sad that Jon says and he did say he is only 30 years old and needs more and maybe someone will offer him a job.I think when he at his own choice quite his job so he could enjoy the trips and be home with his children he loves. this is what changed things. Kate is working he stays home which is his job and a hard one.Plus he has help too. Now that they filed for divorce and I do believe she really loved her husband everyone will hurt. You cant live with someone you know longer love and you cant really fix the fact that you cheated and liked the fast life after all you are only 30s. I am sure these children will be loved and brought up in the proper way. They would have even if they were not on t.v. My best to both on there new beginnings for each other. The kids will adjust. Children are stronger then adults in times like this. Like they both said they are there for the kids and they need to be. Though there pain is great anyone who's gone threw divorce knows this each day will get better.
