I agree that Kate has a strong personallity but I think she has grown through the years on the show .However I feel Jon is a jerk and if he really loved his kids he would have taken more care than he did by cheating on his wife or appearing to rather he did or not. I think he is selfish and thinking of himself. As far as I'm concern Kate loves her kids and is doing everything to make it right for them.

To the comment above... So easy to judge from your own couch.

Granted they put themselves in the limelight but people only think they know the truth about a couple who only reveals a small portion of their life to the public.

Who cares what they do in the privacy of their own home, off camera. I could care less. I hope they find peace for the sake of their children and themselves.

Root of the problem = greed (grd)
n. An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth

You go John and Kate Plus 2 ain't it the truth.
To the other comment strange I read that Kate from Jon and Kate Plus 8 cheated too as well as Jon. You have a right to your opinion but lets not leave out the gossip about Kate she is no saint. But neither am I. There is always a price to having fame I don't feel sorry for anyone who seeks fame and fortune when things go south.

I feel bad for Jon. Through the years we all have seen Kate grow into a class A B*&^$. You can totally tell on their show that it is her way or the highway. She drove Jon off and now she is playing "poor me I am doing everything by myself". I don't think what Jon did was right. I just think Kate drove him off. She has driven me away as a fan.

BTW - I think the hair cut she has fits her new personality.

Kate has no one to blame for this mess but herself. She obviously has always had anger issues, but to watch her strike out at Jon in front of her children was sad. It is obvious that she only cares about the money and using her children to get all that she can. Decent Americans DO NOT watch the show for Jon or Kate. They watch the children. Kate acts like it is all about her which is sad. I will never watch this show again. The weekend marathon was a sad reminder of how far Kate has fallen. No wonder she is becoming the most hated woman in America. She needs to get into counseling and leave her children with their father. TLC is about decent family valued and Kate has none. I hope that TLC ends the series now. Jon is living over the garage and Kate was pretending that all was ok? She is a joke. It is easy to understand why God or Mother Nature made her unable to have children. She is a horrible mother and a horrible person.

I really don't think that Jon cheated on Kate. Besides who would cheat on a "very together" beautiful woman (kate) with a really young not attractive female?? It doesn't make sence!

It's a TV show. Just because they call it a reality show doesn't make it real.

Neither one of them asked for all this but it happened and they have learned to adjust. Im sure women are throwing themselves and Jon but theres no proof hes cheated. Theres also no proof Kate has cheated but if it has happened I hope they can reconcile for the childrens sake. They are human and will make mistakes but for the same reasons they fell in love and made a commitment to each other should be why they should stay together and work this out. Why is it that when a man takes a power position in the home its considered "acceptable" but if the woman does people call her a controlling b*****. Thats ridiculous, someone has to do it and Kate has brought order to an otherwise chaotic mess. Shes a loving, caring mother who just like everyone, is human and will make mistakes. She does her best with good intentions always. People are very judgemental but I bet if they took a step back and turned that judgement on themselves they would realize they are no different than her.

kate is a horrbile mother and a horrible person.

I honestly don't think that anyone should be judging her. Until you are a mom of eight kids and have gone through HALF the **** she has gone through shut Ur mouth. You don't live her life and don't know half the things about it. Just because you watch the show and see certain things does not mean that's what their life is really like. They don't film them 24 hours 7 days a week. This show was put on the air to document a real family and their problems. Now that they actually might be facing some real ones they are getting criticized! Bull!! i don't think that any of us has any right to even comment on their "actions". We don't know them personally and its not like they are gonna come on here and read your stupid lame comments and say omg they are right! yeah right, they could care less what a stranger thought of them. Put yourself in their shoes, people who know absolutely NOTHING but what they SEE are badmouthing you... hmm I don't think i would be very comfortable w. that fact. Get over yourselves people. They are a real family just like every other one out there, sometimes bad things happen and that's just life. You wanted reality and that's what you got but now it seems we want to bitch about it!! If this **** is even true, we don't know that. Sometimes when the media has something and it isn't racy enough they manipulate it. I'm sorry but if I was in the public eye and this shit happened I would be furious.

I love the show i think that john didn't cheat on kate...

I wish I had twins and sextuplets and all that money, free trips, free stuff. Tanning hair dye pedicures fingernails yadda yadda. I love jon and kate but seems to me kate has become pretty stuck up jon is just himself and has not changed but she has. I think kate is ready to move on and leave jon in the dust i just hope he gets alimony .

To "Angie" do you realize when you said "People are very judgemental but I bet if they took a step back and turned that judgement on themselves they would realize they are no different than her." you are also judging others, so please don't think you are better than them, just because you are out here pointing fingers, and I agreed that GREED had a lot to do with this, seems to me at this point money is more important to Kate than anything else, come on now if you really care about your family, stop freaking fly all over the world to make "MORE MONEY" how can you work things out when you are not there?? you can ALWAYS work hard and makes more money, but once your kids grow up & family falls apart than is over, sure you can fall in love with someone else and have more kids, but with out making the right choice in life you are bond to do the same thing all over again, so why not start making some selfless changes and fix things now? How many times you want to do this over? Life might be harder 5 years ago for Jon & Kate, but I'm sure they were a lot happier, you CAN NOT let money runs you life, money CAN give you a better life, but when you are not in control you a just a slave to it. and Money is a very crude master, I really don't care who did what, all I know is IF you want the family to stay together and be happy TOGETHER "everyone" will have to make sacrifice and stop beening so dam selfish.

For the sake of the kids I hope this does not end in divorce. Last nights show was very somber and sad. Kate may come off as what everyone seems to think is a B, but she is the B Jon married for better or worse, through sickness and in health, for rich or for poor. (by the way I don't think Kate is a B, I don't believe she cheated... And I don't believe that Jon hasn't cheated.) no matter what cheating is not justifiable.

This self pitty trip she is on shows her true personality. She got into this for the money, she exploited her children and now wants everyone to feel sorry for her because she is alone. Give me a break, I will no longer watch this ridiculous show. The only ones I feel sorry for are the children.

I would much rather be friends with John and Kate 2. I predict that the tax man is going to be looking at all the "gifts" they get and asking some tough questions.

I think I might have been one of the original fans of this show and the intriguing family. However, slowly I became disgruntled by the exploitation of these innocent kids all in the name of making big-time bucks off the TV show. I also got quite tired of how poorly Kate treated Jon -- absolutely no respect whatsoever! My opinion is that it would be indescribably difficult to raise a family of a set of twins followed by sextuplets 4 short years later. Why on God's green earth would you add to that the stresses of being on a TV show and the fame/lack of privacy, scruntiny, etc etc involved? Why?......Because you'll make enough money to quit your jobs, buy nice vehicles, nice clothes, why even a nice, huge, million dollar brand new home!! All at the expense of the kids. Because, the writing was on the wall...you KNEW all this would take it's toll! And it did...sounds like they will end up divorced soon. And who will pay the biggest price?? THE KIDS.

Noone has any clue what it would be like to have 8 children.Let alone to support them growing up feeding them going to college etc..You think they would do this to themselves if it weren't for their children? People need to get off them, stop judging them you have no idea what their journey is about.If you were in the situation someone offered you millions of dollars a year and you could provide endless opoprtunities for your children you would too.

The worst part for the children is how their parents have alientated them from all family members... imagine having to invite strangers and film crew members to your parties and wedding just to fill the seats.

Kate is a poor excuse for a mom. And a poorer excuse for a wife. You don't have to be a rocket scientist (which Kate obviously is NOT if you recall her description of "a frozen icing that you thaw and spread on the cake--Gee, Kate--COOL WHIP??? Duh! Did you think f that all by yourself?) to see that this fame & money has brought them nothing but misery. They need to walk away, release the greed and put their family back together again.

I watched with hope last night that the teasers TLC gave had some kind of happy ending, but I was saddened. It is heart breaking watching two people (Jon and Kate) both good and well-meaning, who obviously loved each other, drift apart on camera. I have enjoyed the show, mostly for the children (all of the children) and it is amazing for any two people to raise such a large brood in such a short time. If they read this, I offer no condemnation for either one of them. Marriage is hard, and that's just a fact. But marriage is where it all began, and it is worth fighting for. You've both sacrificed and fought for those precious children and I pray you'll avail yourselves to the scriptures and prayer and fight for each other. It's not too late.

kate should stop whinning. really she "didnt sign up for the publicity????" then DON'T DO A TV SHOW and use your kids to bolster your wealth and lifestyle. give me a break. my husband and i have only watched the show a few times but every time we did i cringed at the way she acted and carried on - how she berated jon. she has such a martyr persona that its a huge turn off. all of this is a publicity stunt gone wrong. being cheated on doesn't make you a saint... she brought it on herself. he's no saint either but at least he never disrespected her the way she did. please get this junk off the air soon. i love TLC but not this junky gossipy show. family??? not mine. or anything i want for it.

john and kate are not horrible there my inspreasthion and im only 10 and watch there show 24 7 and i would like them to stay together as a family other wise i will never watch the show again because its not the same please stay together john and kate think about your kids well any way bye

Last Night I watched the premier of jon and kate plus eight, if you also watched it its kind of sad, kate just wants to keep the family together but stupid () jon wants to go have sex with some unknown girl

OM MY GOD!!! Could you imagine being married to this woman? No wonder he’s out there at clubs getting drunk and trying to get that voice out of his head. The marriage was probably over a long time ago. It just a sad state of affairs to be willing to sell you family down the river for a “Reality Show”. Poor Kids…

Kate is a monster. She believes she is so entitled to wealth and privilege. For someone who was raised in a trailer park and is the very definition of trailer trash, she now refuses to fly anything but FIRST CLASS. She has no contact with any of Jon's family & her own family can't stand her. Now that she sees the possible end of her "meal ticket" she is attempting to endear herself to the viewers so that TLC will offer her a show on her own. The woman needs a huge reality check. STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS you BITCH!

The filiming needs to stop. Work on your marriage guys, it is NOT too late. You two CAN become a success story instead of the trainwreck unfolding. I'm finished watching. I wish you the best.

I think they started this because they were over whelmed thinking of how they could actually afford to raise 8 kids. John seemed fine with everything until he got caught cheating. He had a girlfriend when he decided to date Kate. Sounds like he hasn't changed much. Kate might not be that easy to live with but he's a big boy. He could have stood up to her instead of screwing around behind her back.

This is my second comment. For you ladies that think it's Kate's fault that John cheated. Would you be OK with your husband cheating because he thought you were mean to him. Or would you prefer he told you he had a problem?

I'm as guilty of gawking as anyone. But at the end of the day we're still talking about a man and woman who at one time, presumably, loved each other. What I saw last night made me sad. I hope they find a way to reconcile. That too would make for good television. Might even teach some of us gawkers out here in tv land a lesson.

I think TLC has crossed the line. They want to represent this as a "real" family...then say this is "real" family with "real family issues". Hello?? First of all...the majority of this show is not reality...obviously. Second, most of us don't have 8 kids and if we did we wouldn't trade our kids in for wealth and fame. Third, most women who treat their husbands like garbage the way Kate does do not stay married long and if they do they certainly don't get REWARDED for it and have PR PEOPLE spinning for them. The main draw of the show was the kids. Then it turned into how we couldn't believe how mean Kate was to Jon and had to watch. Now she's prancing around like some diva throwing Jon under the bus. It's disgusting. TLC needs to get out of this business and go back to family-friendly viewing. I don't care if they are fake...I just want something healthy to watch with my kids. Leave it to Hollywood to ruin a good show with drama like this.

First of all Jon is the one who is home with the kids! Kate is the one traveling around promoting her book.

This is one woman who brought all this on herself. How dare she sit there and try to get sympathy from new viewers.

It has just now crossed her mind at how mean she has been to Jon. A little late if you ask me. He wants his home life back, working at a job and raising his kids with out the cameras. THAT is clearly not what Kate wants.

At $100,000 an episode she doesn't want to loose that kind of money and clearly Jon won't make that money any time soon.

Thisa is all about Kate and her needs not Jon nor the kids.

Ask yourselves why you have never seen Kates family.

Jon's family helped Kate out but then got slammed by her anyway.

Bravo for jon wanting out of this for him and his kid's it may be a contract or breach of one is in the mix.

That would be sad for the kids sake.

omg - if any of you are mothers, you know that it's EASY to get frustrated with little ones. could you possibly imagine eight little ones?!?! lay off....i have a tough time with two. i could not do that every day with a happy face. i'd go insane. cut her a break, she's doing the best she can.

oh, and don't tell me that you'd turn down money, a tv show and a house if it were a possibility for you.

you don't know what it's like to be in her shoes so don't criticize her.

I absolutely agree that Jon and Kate should end the show. However, they (especially Kate) have grown accustomed to their "celebrity" lifestyle. Therefore, without the show how will they pay for their ridiculous million dollar house, Kate's sudden fascination with designer clothes and sunglasses, their overdone Sunset Tans, purchasing nothing but organic foods, and Jon's new white sports car? They need to end the show but could you really picture self-absorbed Kate returning to her trailer trash roots? Maybe that should be the new show, I would tune in for that.

I am a single mother with 2 little boys at home. We just got out of a domestic violence shelter. It makes me sick to see how Kate is seeking the limelight and leaving her kids at home. Kate doesnt even know what the real world is all about. I am worried about if i have enough gas to get to work never mind where i am going to go on my next book tour trip. If I was her I would be eternally grateful for the help I get. I cant even afford a babysitter to pick up an extra shift never mind complaining about nannies............Kate should have quit while she was ahead and stopped the show when the kids turned 2. What is she doing to these kids. Airing dirty laundry???????????

I thought this was really hard to watch. In fact, I had so much to say that I just wrote an article about it. I wish them all the luck in the world and I'm so grateful to them for being this honest.
http://www.betterwaymoms.com/articles/59-jon-kate

I can't imagine how hard this must be...tans and all.

Some of you leaving comments really need to get a grip...these are people, NOT monsters! Every relationship/marriage has a different dynamic and no one should judge.

They were a normal family with extraordinary circumstances...TLC creates a show to document their lives and people bash them and call them greedy?? STOP saying they asked for it...do you really think anyone would wish for this to be happening right now??

Some of these comments are just cruel and those who post them should take a good look in the mirror and try to find some compassion for others.

Well I'm a mother of a 2 1/2 year old and 14 month old twins. I do see myself a lot in Kate. Controlling, perfectionist etc. Both my husband and I work full time. It's so easy to judge them until you're in their shoes. Who wouldn't agree to a show that pays that much per episode? Maybe they need that in order to be able to afford all those kids. It is so overwhelming to have so many small children. It doesn't give her the right to boss him around and it doesn't give him the right to cheat but don't judge them. They're are going through a very hard time in their lives. I only have 3. I can't imagine 5 more. You absolutely lose yourself as a couple when your children become your top priority. I think they are excellent parents each in their own way. You definetely need organization and structure with so many kids. But you also need someone to take you down a notch like Jon does with her. I think we're all very interested in their lives maybe because we can all see a little bit of ourselves in them.

I feel for the kids since they're going to deal with this in the near future.I pray that Jon and Kate don't let their issues(hurt and anger) hinder their relationship with the babies.Although we only get a glimpse into their lives on tv it did appear that Kate was very critical of Jon on numerous occassions and Jon in turn showed his frustration by"hanging out". As opposed to COMMUNICATING his frustrations. Experience is the best teacher, None of us are perfect and I wish the best for them!

kate is a stronge person unlike john that is a liying jerk i personaly feel bad for there kids and hopefully they dont stop john and kate plus
8 because that is my favorit tv show.

Some of these comments are ludicrous. Kate is not a horrible person by any means and she certainly did not bring this on herself. You try being the primary caregiver for 8 kids and see if you have a sparkling, perky personality 24-hours a day. I have a 4 month old baby and I am completely exhausted - let alone plus 7! I give this woman a lot of credit. Stop judging - especially with the greed comments. Look at yourselves before you pick away at people going through a difficult time. I highly doubt in their wildest dreams did they think they would have all the fame and now misery that has come along with it.

I enjoyed the show when it frst aired - but this last episode was painful to watch because it was clearly something WE SHOULD NOT BE WATCHING. This family has issues to work out that may or may not stem from the pressures of raising so many kids, or from their being under the scrutiny of the viewing public. But NO ONE should be under such scrunity. They cannot heal or survive or work out what they need to in the course of entertaining the rest of of us.

The reality of the financial pressures upon them may make this impossible for them to see - but they need to do whatever it takes to shut us out while they work this out. For 3 or 4 years, their family seemed happy and healthy and safe, and I believe they were, because - while they let us into their home - they were a united front defining and protecting their family. They cannot be that while they are vulnerable and working out their issues in a form of public display, and if they think thay can, their children will pay the price. They need to understand that they were able to protect their family only because they were united front - if there are flaws and fissures, the paparazzi, fed by a pathetic, hungry public, and relentless media will attack and destroy them.

I believe they are both good people, flawed (like most of us), and currently at the mercy of the most vicious, unnattractive, voyeauristic and mercenary side of human nature. They may or not be meant to come through it together. But I truly hope, for their sake and their chlildren's, that they can muster up the strength and clarity to realize that they need to shut out all of the distractions and focus on nothing but their relationship and their kids. If they are just different people growing in different directions, fine - maybe it's better that they go their separate ways. But if this is all the result of the pressure and distractions of a public life that started out as a way to support and sustain their family and has gotten out of control, then they need to look closely at what's happened and why.

Both Jon and Kate spoke during the the premiere of caring only about their kids (though, painfully, aiming those statements to some extent at each other). They both said things to the effect that - as long as the kids are happy and healthy and safe, everything's okay. If they think the kids are happy, they are wrong. Kids know when there are problems, and the pressure and awkwardness of going throungh something like this while being such public figures, at such a young age, is not healthy. And they are not safe. With their foundation of stability rattled, two parents who are openly at odds, and the media swirling around and pouncing on any sign of blood, the children are so vulnernable to emotional trauma now and expoitation down the line.

I can only urge that Jon & Kate - whether you ultimately stay together or not - kick us out of your lives while you sort it out. Protect your family from the pain and stress of making this a public discourse, and prove to your them that nothing matters more than they do by focusing exclusively on yourselves and your children - out of the public eye - until you can present a united front once again (whether as a family headed by a husband and wife, or by one headed by two friends). Only then will your children be happy, healthy, and safe once again.

1. They need to forget the show and get into councelling if they really care about the kids and their vows.
2. Kate needs to resist the temptation to always be in charge. She should be Jon's helper/partner not the leader of the pack. This is totally opposite her nature but if she really loves those kids and God she will work hard to do it.
3, Jon needs to do what he needs to make a life that will be good for the family. That includes selling the big house and going back to a simpler life. Maybe he should even put his foot down about giving permission for his kids to be filmed. Take charge man!
4. They both are very self centered self serving people, which has been amplified by all the TLC attention.
5. They both need to seek the councel of a older Godly man and woman who can give them support not of the media type.

My guess though is Kate will continue to get off on all the attention and perks of being a TV celebrity and Jon will continue to look to get his masculine ego stroked by anyone who will.

Life is hard enough,WITHOUT a t.v crew folling you around. Instead of everybody complaining,why don't we just pray to GOD that he will bless them with patience and understanding,and remind them of their true love, the love that they have together and for their children. In GODs name we pray

I have a very strong personality especially when it comes to my husband and my kids. I have at times been disrespectful to my husband, and I think alot of women out there can say the same thing if they are willing to be truthful with themselves. I have to say the one episode where Kate was yelling at John in the grocery store apalled even me. I would like to think that after she watched it she was apalled at her own behavior. I respect my husband therefore I don't treat him that way. Maybe if John stood up to her a bit more and stopped letting her treat him like hammered doggie doo (to put it nicely) she would ease up on him. I think it would be very hard to live with a man you don't respect or isn't respectable. As far as voicing my opinions here about thier private lives, they made the decision to be in the public eye by doing the show and therefore have to take all the public views people have on them, good or bad, evil or nice. I don't feel sorry for them at all. They put themselves where they are today. Pray for those kids though.

Money and fame over children.

Sick.

Take their kids away.

If you really want your kids to be happy & secure ...then fight for your marriage. Respect your spouse. Get counseling. Kate is in need of a major paradigm shift! Gotta realize alot of the decisions she made lead her to this place...a place she said she hates.
Kate unless you can have the blinders lifted and see that you have a major role in the breakdown of your relationship with your parents....your siblings....and now your husband you are headed for disaster.

I can only hope & pray that the execs at TLC urge/force/whatever Kate & Jon to get some quality private counseling. If they did - the show could maybe return and be a much bigger hit than ever. Jon & Kate would then have the keys to a successful marriage. It could be on display for many to see. Book deals could follow.

If not - Kate will be left with nothing. No parents. No siblings. No spouse. Her current personality is so TOXIC that soon no one will buy a book or pay for her to appear anywhere. Would anyone in their right mind watch a show of just her & the kids. No way.

She was a 'single' mom for 1 birthday weekend and all she could talk about was how exhausted and tired she was.

ENVY. I keep reading words of envy all over the place. Accusations of greed shot at Kate. Would you all prefer that the family struggle? Would you all prefer that the children never enjoy any trips or a nice spacious home (finally). Kate writes her books and they get paid to do the show. It pays the bills and it pays to feed the kids and to provide a decent future for them. EIGHT of them. And later, most of them at the same time, needing help for cars and college, etc. I'm really sorry so many people seem so envious...just frothing at the mouth, wishing for these children to be brought up with so much less opportunity and life experiences.

Whoah! Some people are so darn sexist and they don't even realize it! Blaming Jon's behavior on Kate because she works outside of the home while Jon stays at home?!? Big whup. He stayed home for two years, with babysitters, and Kate. She stayed home while he worked for many more years. I doubt she was out gallivanting or blaming her husband's job on her partying. Nope. Because she didn't do that crap. Jon = poor MAN who cannot handle living like a stay-at-home parent? Sexism galore. Jon getting a pass because he was a poor man who stayed home with kids. ()

I found this to be interesting blog from Growing Your Baby.com and I would share it with you! It's a blog from a person named Sarah who lived in the same development that Kate and Jon did: Comment by Sarah on 23 July 2008: i came across this in a group thought you should know what some cruel people who live around you have said. i don’t know if there is an email you have set up. this is what was written I have been following the unfolding issues regarding Jon & Kate Plus 8 for some time now however have kept my mouth shut about their family until now. I happen to live in the same development as Jon & Kate and have never found them to be personable people. I will say that when they first moved in, you could get a waive out Jon or at least he would acknowledge your presence. However recently i’ve noticed that is no longer the case. Kate has NEVER been personable. Numerous times I can recall walking around the development and seeing her doing what she does best (sitting on her butt while a volunteer helper chases after the children). So many times I’ve extended a greeting or a waive and she just looks the other way and does not take the time to acknowledge my existence. With that said, I was NOT very surprised recently when the topic in the development was the very unfriendly signs that they have now placed in their front yard. A total of 3 signs are now posted in front of their house. The signs read: Do not stop in front of our house, do not take pictures and do not stop and talk to us. I wish I were kidding, but I am not. My question, is who do these people think they are. First and foremost they live on a public street so anyone can camp out on that street all day long if they so desired. Secondly, have they now reached the point that they are willing to publicly display their feelings that they are too good for the rest of the world?? After seeing them appear on the numerous talk shows, I was so amazed at the things that came out of Kates mouth. Just being a neighbor, I knew she was lying when she claimed to have very little help with the kids. I see volunteers in and out of that house all the time, I see the volunteers in the front chasing her kids around and I can see their backyard from my house and see Kate again just sitting on the swing while others tend to her children. She wants to complain that she’s so tired, blah blah blah….try actually raising a family and you will see how tiring it actually is. There are plenty of families that are not profiting from choosing invetro and having 8 kids. Those families struggle to make ends meet, meanwhile Jon and Kate are lying and having everything handed to them. There are families in this world who are in dire need of help….this family is NOT one of them and its about time that people realize this. I will say, I have never spoken to Jodi either, however have seen her in the development and she has always given a waive and/or a smile. I have many friends within the development who agree that she is a great person who is getting the raw end of this deal. Kate is nothing compared to millions of moms out there, Kate is weak and although she chose this life path,she is milking it for what its worth…and Jon does what he does best and sits there with his tail between his legs. Jon needs to grow some balls and start doing what is right. Their children are learning nothing more than how to dupe good people into helping someone who is not in need. I say their 15 minutes of fame should soon come to an end, and we all start helping those families truly in need. The truth is surfacing about this family and it is about time. I applaud Jodi for her maturity, and join in with the rest of those laughing at Kate and Jon for being the idiots that they are!! Jodi’s sisters blog is awesome as well, and i’m so glad that someone is putting the truth out there….FINALLY!!! On a final note, Kate being the honest person that she is, has she ever mentioned the incident recently where she backed into another vehicle and then drove away without giving her information to the other driver? Well, the other driver got her plate and little Ms. Kate got a visit from the police! I guess Kate thought she was too good to talk to the person she hit too!! I thought this was interesting! The insight and perspective who saw this coming over 11 months ago!

Everyone is so harsh and judgmental. I'm not saying either one of them is perfect. Far from it. But we all need to step back and take a look at ourselves and realize that we aren't perfect either. Everyone is in a different situation and no one knows how they will react until they are in that situation. That said, in my opinion, Kate needs to take a step back and be a real wife and mother again. She needs to be home taking care of her husband and children. This role reversal she and Jon have going on has destroyed their relationship. Jon needs to feel like he is needed and respected. He needs to be the one out there providing for the family and she needs to stay home (sorry to all you feminists out there). Either that or they need to find a way to stay civil for the sake of the kids and just get a divorce and move on. Trust me as someone who has lived through it, children are far better off with parents who are not together than with parents who are together but are fighting all the time (or not speaking or whatever). The tension in the house takes a toll on everyone.

Some wisdom for Kate:
God first
Husband second
children third
fame & wealth LAST !!!
Get your priorities in order.

Wow... I watch the show monday nite and I think everyone needs to just back off for now cause yall are not making it better for them!Just let them work it out! I hope they stay together! Kate does talk to him in a bad way but he does need to help alot more! They need to stay together for those kids! And they made vow they both need to remember them Jon and Kate!

I think it is time TLC pull the plug on Jon and Kate. This has evolved into a freak show. I have never understood how parents of twins could believe being implanted with a minimum of 6 eggs in hopes of having another baby is reasonable?? Could this be a first hint of the greed we are witnessing today?

Since the beginning of the show, they have seemed to be having problems. Jon has always seemed distant towards his family... He has this attitude like "How could this life happen to me? I did not want all these kids" well nobody wants to have 8 babies at once (Besides octomom but she's crazy). Jon seems like he doesn't want to be there. He wants to still be able to go out and party with his friends. I mean most people only have 2 kids, if that by the time they are 28, so they are able to have a little more fun. He can't

when the show first started, Kate has always controlled a lot, but in her defense, I think she was trying to make sure that Jon would stay involved because she could see he didn't want to. But she went about it the wrong way. instead of taking rational approaches, she tried to control him. and now she has let this fame get to her.

I hope they work out their issues. everyone in marriage goes through this type of things. my aunt ans uncle were 15 and 17 when they had their first child. now they are 25 and 27, with 4 kids. My uncle wanted to leave my aunt because he wanted to be able to go out and party all the time and she wouldnt allow it. he was going to leave her... but she told him think about what you'd be messing up. Our family. and she didnt force him... she just said please think about what you would be doing. and it woke him up and he realized his family is worth more tha those crazy nights. That is just what happens in married life. People have obstacles but they either get through them or are too weak too.

so I hope Jon and Kate wake up and realize what they'd be doing and let go of their pride and let go of issues they have with each other. Nobody is perfect. Both of them are striving for what they want... but they need to learn to compromise.

no matter how bad or evil kate may or may not have been, cheating is not the answer. they are married, people need to quit taking marriage lightly. a marriage is FOREVER and EVER and EVER. Kate does not deserve this, Jon does not deserve this, and the kids definatley do not deserve this. I hope that the show is over soon, the marriage evens out, kate comes back to earth, her family forgives her, and the children can have their normal life back.

I'm sure Jon and Kate are not having fun w/ their fame and all the troubles that go along with it. However they did sign on for it. They complain about paparazzi following them around, what about the camera crew?? Well, they're paying so they're fine I guess. I do believe Jon cheated and that was wrong of him. However I believe Kate is an emasculating bitch so it was just a matter of time. It's hard to leave your family, easier to get some happiness on the side. I think it's ridiculous that Kate has been out of town for months promoting her book but had the gall to be so condescending about Jon "needing the weekend off". She may have been off "working" but she sure wasn't dealing w/ the daily grind of the kids, of course he needed a few days off. And not a few days w/ her helping and belittling him, a few days of quiet. And on their trip to the store she pointed out the Paparazzi to the kids, and one of them said something like, "what paparazzi" or "what's paparazzi". When she described it in her interview it was "so sad that a child notices the paparazzi". I mean really!! She skews everything in her favor, to make her the martyr, the saint. I'm sure that they were very worried about making ends meet with a family of that size and the money and products received from the TV show were like a God send. I think the kids are adorable but really, financials are something people need to think about prior to implanting 6 embryos. You have to be prepared for the possibility of raising all 6. I used to really like this show, the kids are just ADORABLE, it was great watching Kate raise them, she had a realism about her that made you (as a mom) commiserate, even though you'd cringe at her bitchiness from time to time. Jon is just the easy going fun guy. Now Kate is just ridiculous. She's just so full of herself. The hair, the clothes, the mannerisms and attitude. It's just awful. I loved it on the premiere when Kate was talking about how everything she does is for the kids, and Jon was like everything I do is for the kids too.. I get up and make them breakfast and take them to school and and and. While Kate is out of town and the kids call her by the babysitter's name. It's great the kids are happy, healthy, safe, and all of that but I think that is fundamentally wrong. She's so busy making a career based on Mothering that she's not actually mothering anymore. It's a shame because even though she's a selfish bitch and a terrible wife I always thought she was a good mom. I think she's losing her perspective on whats' really important. When they were getting ready to go to the store she didn't interact with the kids at all, just yelled at them and made faces. When she was done doing her hair and make up and "I'm Famous" glasses she yelled at them to leave like she was some kind of Royalty.

i've never watched the show, but from reading this, it seems to me that ALL OF YOU, everyone who's commented are the problem. if you weren't such consumers, jon & kate wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. so as has been suggested several times, instead of telling jon & kate what to do, YOU do your part and STOP WATCHING!

Wouldn't it be interesting if the whole cheating thing is all just a hoax to get more ratings and at the end of this season they patch everything up and life is good again? If they tried hard, they could really milk it; bring the cameras into the "counseling sessions". It could be a regular "The Hills" the unreality reality show.

I've watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 for a long time now and I've even watched all the re-runs. From the beginning. I have seen Kate belittle Jon to the point that their children will never respect Jon, ever....Kate has seen to that. She has one of the worst cases of OCD that I have ever seen. I am known for my love affair with bleach as I am a clean freak myself, but at my house, you can wear your shoes in the house, you can make a mess, you can put your feet on my couch, and I'll clean it all up. My home is a home, it's not on display for Better Homes and Gardens. I've been married for over 36 years and I'm positive my husband would have divorced me if I ever treated him the way Kate treats Jon. There's no way Jon has any self-esteem left. It doesn't matter how hard he tries to help Kate, it's never good enough. This woman is a demon from hell and does not appreciate anything Jon tries to do, whether it's for her or the children. This man should run from this woman as fast as he can run. There's a better woman out there to help him heal his scars that Kate has given him and will love his children unconditionally. Kate has no clue what unconditionally means. I do not believe in committing adultry, but I can see why Jon did it (if it is true). It is for entirely different reasons than Kate would do it. Kate needs constant reassurance that she's beautiful and needs and even craves all the attention she is getting whether it's positive or negative. It's all about her and what she has gone through having 8 children. It's all about her giving up whatever she thinks she's given up for the sake of her children. What a crock of crap! Our mothers and grandmothers had broods of kids and they never ever got the attention that this woman has gotten. I believe Kate has been not only verbally abusive, but mentally abusive and the reality of it all, is that it was her physical problem as to why they couldn't have children. She knew what she was getting into when she signed up for her fertility treatments. If I was Jon, I'd run from this woman and let her work and pay him child support. Go for it Jon and have a life. You don't have a life now, it's been stripped from you by this horrid woman. I gave Kate the benefit of the doubt all along, until I saw the episode where she wanted to throw out all of Jon's memories he had of his father. What kind of woman does that? Then, it was fine for the children to mess up the beach house they had in NC, with their pudding painting, but never would she do it at her house. She has no respect for other's people's property. She's evil. ....... What a dork of a woman she is. Jon is mild mannered, doesn't get riled up like Kate does and how Jon's family puts up with her, we'll never know. Her own family can't stand her. She needs professional help in more ways than one. God help her and we all need to pray for those children.

i remember when kate acted like a little dirt would kill you and everything had to be perfect, now she acts like she has to look perfect and its all about her sometimes the kids talk to her she doesnt listen or acts like there bothering her. I use to like her nut with all the fame it looks like it gone to her head

The main difference between Jon & Kate plus 8 and John and Kate plus 2 is that the latter couple exercised good judgment - they stopped at two children. Most sane people do. Please don't tell me to feel sorry for two self-absorbed people who continually pile one bad decision upon another... they weren't forced to use unnatural means to produce twins, they weren't forced to use unnatural means to produce 6 more that Jon admits he didn't want... they could have had a reduction which would have kept the litter down to a more manageable 3 children. Are you starting to see a pattern here? They are not victims. They are selfish idiots, but not victims. Only the neglected, attention-starved children are victims. Anyone who knows anything about child development would avoid having multiples because you can't give the children the individual attention they need to develop normally. When this happens by accident of nature, it's sad. When people intentionally create a massive problem like this... well, it's a money-making opportunity! The children be damned...

Kate is mean to Jon, she cuts him down all the time and makes him run after things she forgot. I think she bosses him around and he is fed up.

If Jon or Kate cheated this is there bussiness not ours to explode in the public. this is a personal matter between the both of them. NONE OF OUR BUSSINESS . I think this is very sad for the both of them and to have the children in the middle of let the both of them do what they need to do to be happy. Oh!!!! and what is this crap Kate it a B**** I think she knows what she wants and looking in the best interest of her children and her family people get a grip!!!!
P.S leave the couple alone this is a matter that they will work through and it not this is there issue not ours...
Like i Said BEFORE GET A GRIP and just because you are putting them down due to your little sad issues doesnt mean we need to put them down because our life isnt perfect no ones is...

I will NOT watch the show ever again. Why? Because one of the participants are there unwillingly. Can't this guy catch a break. Yeah, He's such a jerk that he won't continue to LIE to America about wanting to be popular and on tv and rake in the money. He knows if he walks away, that is the end of the money trail and yes he still wants to be DONE with it. Judge him all you want but Kate created this monster and Kate can deal with the aftermath, Karma is a nasty witch..

Ahhh it's so interesting how we all know what's going on and know better than anyone else what these people should do... isn't it?

Personally I've ALWAYS found Kate to be an overbearing witch. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't doubt that both Kate and Jon have stepped out on each other. Given what little I see of their lives on this show it certainly would not surprise me.

What should happen is the Duggars should come in and teach these two how to be grown ups with a large family. If you don't know who the Duggars are... http://www.duggarfamily.com/ ... let's see Kate whine about 8 when she talks to a family of 20.

I think the big difference here is in the values espoused by the parents. Jon & Kate are lacking certain values which the Duggars hold dear... and that makes all the difference.

Dear God, I'm posting somewhere on some website to make it known that I'm praying and asking for your help. A family that many of us invite into our homes each day is going through some troubling times. So what I'm asking is for you to remind them where they came from and what it felt like to love each other. Please save this marriage. No matter who you are or what you've become, everyone can be saved. All it takes is letting God into your heart.

Does God read blogs? Maybe that's my problem.

JON & "FAKE" PLUS 8

WOW all these "Back off", "don't Judge" "You don't know what's like" command is making me mad, this is the attitude that get you in trouble in the first place, fact is "YOU" are the one that should be in control, no one said life is easy, but if you make the right choice than you WILL be happy, making the right choice doesn't mean it will make you rich, but you know you are doing everything that you can for what's important to you, like family, wife, husband children, friends etc, if you mess up and people yell at you? you better listen & see if you can learn something, don't give me, "you don't know any better" or "the devil make me do it" bs, face up to your choices, lean from it, get better and make good changes, as I read these "back off" command, I kept thing to myself, if "YOU" people get in trouble with the law, you WILL be the ones that tell the judge, "don't judge me, you don't know me, the world made me do it" blah blah blah, man up! and take care of you family, stop dreaming how money can BUY you a perfect life.

Kate should go back to her trailer park with her better than everyone else attitude and let Jon raise the children alone and OFf the tv...

This baffles me. I vaguely remember flipping past some stupid show about a couple with too many children, just another TV freak show. Now they seem actually famous. Same number of children. Oh, they behave badly toward each other. Ho hum.

Her hair scares the bejesus out of me.

I studied genetics. Why do all the children look like the father? I just wiki'd them (God have mercy on my soul) and there is not even one pair of idenctical twins in the eight. You would expect more variety of features, if, you know, they were human.

I found this: "Jon Gosselin is half-Korean, one-fourth French, and one-fourth Welsh". That makes the genetic math even odder.

Keepin' it shallow

Take their kids away.

That's a terrible thought. The parents should follow the time-honored tradition of exploiting them through music! Nobody brought up child labor laws when the Osmonds were dazzling America with their white jump suits and soulful music.
