I saw that today. i think its awful and once these things started to come out, they should have backed off. Instead this is turning into "he said, she said" and in a VERY public way.

I used to love the show myself, but as she became more and more condesending and the more I heard the things like, she no longer talks to her parents because they did all of these donations for them, and Kate refused most of it, because well, the cribs werent matching and neither were the cloths. They stuck their hands out, and when it came down to it, shoved back in peoples faces.

I have no respect for the way she treats Jon, and as much as I disagree with infidelity, I half don't blame him.


Here, here! It was only a mattered of time that things would blow up. You can't continually talk to someone like that (i.e the derogatory and condescending way Kate is with Jon) and expect their love to continue and grow for you. Jon was bound to rebel and look for "fun" elsewhere. And I don't mean an affair. Maybe he's just looking for validation and/or people who don't talk down to him constantly.

 

Only watched the show maybe 2Xs before but decided to record the new season and watch because of all the talk that is happening.

I set my DVR and it said the new show is on on Friday

It's on tonight at 9 p.m. on TLC. They are replaying it at 11 (I think).

 

For some reason the one that I set to record was on E!

I found the one that is on TLC tonight and set it to record. Hopefully I will be able to watch it tomorrow after work before the children get out of school

I think E! is doing a 'true hollywood story' type show about Jon & Kate. The real show is on TLC.

 

That was just sad to watch I feel so sorry for those kids.

 

my husband has this idea that all the things going on are"fixed" because they want out of the show.If you notice at th beginning Jon said he didn't think the show would turn into a job.He could be right.Maybe they think if they split up there won't be a show anymore and they can just get out of it

I had no idea it was that bad, that he seems to have moved out of the house. The scene where he arrived at the party and she wouldn't look at him was so painful.

While I agree a lot of situations on the show are "created," their fighting looks very real. When Alexis said to Jon please don't go away anymore, (or something like that) that was real.

As far as the show goes, at the end of season 4, they (Jon and Kate) were on the fence about another season, so they could have canceled and from what Kate said it sounds like these problems started last year.

 

I agree with Miriam, it was hard to watch. When Jon showed up separately it was VERY noticeable that she wouldn't even talk to him, she barely even looked at him. When he first walked up and she was standing by the coolers, asking someone where her coat was, he looked over at her and she wouldn't even acknowledge him!! Then, later, one of the girls told him that she didn't want him to go away anymore, he looked really hurt and just quickly said something about he had to work sometimes. I missed the very beginning of the episode but seeing them on the couch separately being interviewed was kind of strange, then at the end Kate was crying. I don't like how she talks to Jon but it almost (ALMOST) looked like she's had a bit of a reality check. Oh, and what's with Jon having himself a little two-seater sportscar?! Why does a father of 8 small kids have a sports car???

 

I thought the exact same thing about the sportscar!!!

 

That was very sad to watch. I was happy that Jon addressed the fact that the media has blown a lot of stuff out of proportion and that if you pay someone $$$ of course they are going to tell you what you want to hear. Obviously neither one ever thought a simple documentary would turn out to be like this. I am so sad for both of them.

 

i didn't read every single post on here, but i can understand his frustrations... he had mentioned in an episode years ago that he didn't want anymore kids after the twins, but "gave in", and now here he has 8 kids, when all he wanted was the two. HE doesn't want to continue doing the show, but SHE does. she does tend to be a little harsh with him.
HOWEVER, i didn't believe him when he said he didnt cheat. i think he did. and there's NO excuse for that. so they both have a right to be upset. but they are also both in the wrong.
aaand that's what fame does to you about 98% of the time

p.s. i don't think there's anything wrong with having a sportscar. as long as he still has the vans for the kids, the sportscar can be his own little toy. ardon:

 

I am not a regular viewer of this show, but did tune in last night. That episode was very sad. They both care for and love their kids, but it seemed obvious to me that the kids know something is going on and are upset. I hope that they can work out their issues and come to solution that works for all of them. I feel so bad for those kids.

 

I only caught the last 15 minutes of it, and that was sad... I am pretty disappointed in these people... To have 8 kids, and jeopardize their family is just stupid... Whether that was in doing the show, or having "affairs" doesn't matter, when you have kids, your responsibility to them is to provide a stable environment, where they feel safe and secure... Sad!

 

Very sad show...I was so sad for the kids. And even if I do not agree with how either parents treats each other, divorce is always sad to me..I hope they can work it out.

I started watching some episodes last year and got hooked out of sheer fascination/awe. It was a wonderful reminder to stop whinning when things were complicated or logistics kept me from being as free-spirited as my friends with singletons.

Am I the only one who is absolutely DISGUSTED with the way this woman speaks to/treats her husband? At first I really liked her b/c she seemed so personable (loved that she flashed her multiples belly on nat'l tv); but after catching a few episodes, I just couldn't stomach her disrespect to Jon. 8 kids or not, you still should be civil to your partner!




Ifeel the same way. I really enjoyed the show at first. Know kate is arragant (sp) and witchy. The show seems more like it is about kate now. I do watch it sometimes still.

 

The show was heartbreaking to watch, to witness a potential divorce unraveling is unsettling. I have seen every single episode and have in a way, come to know this family through television. I pray that they have the courage and strength to overcome their obstacles and work out their differences. But when two people go in very different directions so quickly, it doesn't look promising. It appeared that it was already over and neither party wanted to admit it. How terribly sad!

 

I am also still a fan of the show, and found it heartbreaking. I completely acknowledge the fact that Kate can be pretty awful to Jon, however I didn't have 6 kids at once, so I can't even begin to know how that can change a person or what the daily stress is like. I know that when I had 2 at once, I changed alot!! And I am sure that all the media attention and craziness in their lives is causing Jon to make some pretty irresponsible decisions. I found that episode SO upsetting. I was also very surprised to see how bad things really were between them. And I was surprised to see Kate so upset at the end, b/c throughout the show she seemed very "cold" and just angry about the whole thing.

I really HOPE they can work it out, but I got a very bad feeling about what the future holds for them. I feel terrible for the whole family!

 

I can't say anything about the sportscar; we have a two-seater also. It's handy for trips into town alone or for driving to work.

It was very sad. One thing I noticed was that he seemed to take responsibility for his part in it all; she just kept making comments about his bad decisions and poor choices and never owned up to her share. And even in an affair, there is two sides. . .

 

I just found the whole show really really sad last night, I felt sad for Jon and kate and of course the kids, when the little girls said to her daddy she didn't want him to go away anymore, oh it breaks your heart.
