TLC's popular show, 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight' follows the family life of two (Jon and Kate) plus their eight adorable children. As of recent events that publicize Jon's outlandish behavior and crude comments about former wife, Kate Gosselin, and his illeged 'love affairs,' as of November 2 TLC is renaming the show, 'Kate Plus Eight.'
It seems that after the couple announced their split, ratings for the show dramatically dropped. TLC claims it only makes sense to rename the show 'Kate Plus Eight' since she is the primary care taker of the children and has not been publically scandalized like Jon has. Their new take on the show will feature Kate raising her eight children as a single mother.
Clearly, it looks to be a custody battle between the two since recent episodes of the show feature Jon and Kate drama over their kids. I was a fan of Jon and Kate, but the newer episodes seem to lack the same flare they once had since they only show Jon with the kids OR Kate with the kids, never both at the same time like viewers like me enjoyed watching because the comical aspect of Kate's constant bickering towards Jon. :)
Since the announcement of 'Kate Plus Eight,' In Touch Weekly reported that Jon had filed paperwork to "put the brakes" on his divorce. He claims that this will enable the two of them to restore a relationship as "cooperative parents" that would benefit the family.
I find it strange that Jon would claim that he wants to work on their relationship since only before the announcement of the show's name change he was seen on 'Good Morning America' saying that he despises Kate and wants nothing to do with the show. It seems like a perfect time for him to defend himself in a situation like this since he's looking at losing all credibility he once earned from the show.

Wow. I've never seen this show nor know anything about it, but I wonder if the show can go on. Sounds like viewers may not watch anymore and the show is gone for good. It happens sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I am so sick of hearing about 'Jon and Kate.' I think it is really sad that their marriage has turned out like this; Esp. since they decided to create such a large family. I think I would be a little more sure about my marriage before I decided to pop out eight kids with someone. Also, I think this is ridiculous because if you have eight kids and your marrige is failing. Wouldnt you do whatever you could to save it? If not for you, but atleast for the EIGHT kids?? I think they should have gotten rid of the cameras when they noticed that their marrige was changing. If I were one of the eight kids, I would be really sad when I grew up and watched these episodes of my family unraveling in front of the cameras. I think its sad that these "parents" are still filming the show. Turn the cameras off and take care of your kids. Being a single mom is hard enough; let alone a single mom of EIGHT. Why add any more stress with the show? Enless the camera man is babysitting and helping you with the laundry, I'd tell him to shut it off.
ReplyDeleteI think its funny that Jon all of sudden wishes to "put the brakes" on his divorce. It makes me wonder if the only reason he wants to do that is so that he can get his fair share of money from the show. TLC is a family oriented show so it makes sense that they want to completely throw Jon out of the title. Jon has acted in ways that is simply un-called for as a father figure. I understand that he is upset by certain matters, but he needs to remember that he has 8 young children watching after his every move. TLC made a good move, however they may find that after all of the mess between Jon and Kate's marriage that maybe they should end the show for good.
ReplyDeleteHaha! This goes to show you Jon is a moron and was in it for the money. Remember your vows, kids, there's a reason why you MAKE THEM! Even though I may have watched an episode or two or glimpses that family looks hard enough to take care of let alone run a "reality" TV show. Even though Terry Bollea's, aka Hulk Hogan, show had a crash landing because of a divorsing wife and a son who was in jail for acting stupid. Even if they had marital issues BEFORE the show it just doesn't seem reasonable to deal with so much at once when you need to focus on what matters most and that's your spouse and children. I hope Kate can manage on her own or somehow find a better man in her life because she has WAAAAY too much on her hands.
ReplyDeleteIts really a shame what has happened to this family. Although Jon has acted totally inappropriate, I almost feel bad for him, like his behavior was almost natural. After 10 years of living with Kate picking on him and nagging at him and working full-time and caring and providing for 8 children, then his marriage falls apart, I think he reverted to the inappropriate behavior because of all the stress of the past 10 years. While I am not surprised by Jon's unraveling, I do wish that he had shown more regard for his 8 children who will surely hear about his actions and be affected by them. Also, they did not plan to have 8 children, they wanted to have one more and ended up getting pregnant with 6, and they probably were more sure of their relationship prior to have 6 more kids and adding cameras and the limelight to the marriage. The problem was not them 'deciding' to have 8 kids.
