Tonight, on John & Kate Plus 2 watch Jon & Kate Plus 8..

On tonight’s episode: Kitchen envy.
John thinks the opening scene is already anti-Jon, when Kate asks Jon if he even knows where the oven is.
John (to Kate G.): "Like you cook three meals a day."
Kate S.: "It's Emeril!
John: "So they're making chili mac for 8 kids? Can you imagine the aftermath? "
Kate S.: "Well, they're already talking about the bathroom."
John: "Don't light a match!"
Scene: The kids are snapping off the ends of fresh green beans.
Kate S.: "They're working with vegetables!"
John: "How would green bean casserole go over in our family?"
Kate S.: “Not. Well.”
Kate S.: “Now what do we think of Jon and Kate cooking together?”
John: “Probably the first time they've done it. Although it is a sin to have a kitchen like that and not be cooking in it constantly. That is the kitchen I want."
Kate S. "Are you saying our kitchen isn't good enough?"
John: “I’m saying you cannot have more than one person in there at a time. Especially with sharp knives.”
During a commercial break:
John: "Do we have any Sonics near us?"
Kate S.: "Why do you ask?"
John: “It just looks so...inviting.”
Kate S.: “I think the product placement is working.”
John: “We could go there and have witty conversations.”
Kate: "Is this your answer to the Obama date night?”
John: “In this economy? Yes.”
Scene: They show a "favorite moment" for the 100th episode.
Kate S.: “Are you kidding? A favorite moment is when a kid has an accident? How messed up is that?”
John: "I guess a lot of people liked it."
Scene: Back to the cooking...
John: "So they're doing a group dinner here. What are they missing?"
Kate S.: "I give up."
John: "Wine!"
Later:
John: "She hit Emeril! With a spatula!"
Kate: "You seem to think Emeril is some kind of god."
John: "There are issues with her hitting Jon. She may be a hitter. Let's hope she's not a biter."
Kate: "Hot sauce? Yikes."
John: “I see bad things coming.”
Kate S.: “Talk about your accidents...”
John: “I want to see if they actually eat this chili mac.”
Scene: The kids eat the chili mac.
John: “They like it. They even use their napkins. We're failures!”

Unfortunately, we live in one of those areas that has Sonic commercials but no Sonic. Closest one is Hanover, Pa.

Oh, am I supposed to be talking about Jon and Kate? I didn't watch. The presence of Emeril in their actual kitchen took it out of the realm of reality TV. Or I was tired. One of those!

Emeril seemed out of place. He didn't come off genuine.

There is a Sonic in Lancaster PA as well as on the way to OC when you go through Delaware on Rt 113. Just in case you DO want to try it.

What's the big deal, Emeril stops by my house at least once a month to cook for the kids... his chili-mac is amazing. BAM !

It must be hard to do Jon and Kate Plus 8 every week when Jon and Kate won't even sit on the same couch as each other. So the producers are either filling the episodes with "guest stars" (i.e. Emeril, the Teutels from American Chopper next week), or sending them on trips to visit others (i.e. Duff at Charm City Cakes). I guess they just can't fill a show anymore with just J, K and the kids.

Kate: "Is this your answer to the Obama date night?”

Laughed right out loud, Kate.

I'll report back if I actually get a date at Sonic. KS

I just love John and Kate + 2 commenting on Jon and Kate + 8. Keep 'em coming!

Kate, how do you get John to sit and watch with you? If it doesn't involve a football or soccer ball (or, oddly, anything on PBS), my hubby's not interested. PS: My niece recently told me there's a Sonic open in Salisbury now - first one in Maryland.

He has been told that it's a requirement of my job. But I think he's secretly enjoying it.

We stopped at the Sonic on the way to OC a couple of years ago because my H HAD to try it. I was underwhelmed and the place was filthy.

This was hysterical, Kate. Keep em coming!

this show has just about jumped the shark. now we get to see the other posers form the choppers next week.

Great comments, my husband and I watched this episode (and the two before it). It's true, without vacations or guest stars they have no show! It's a shame.
I mostly wanted to tell you, as far as Sonic goes, the commercials are much better then the restraunt. don't worry, you aren't missing much.

After watching the Emeril episode, I was amazed at how rude Kate still is to Jon...You would think after all the criticism she is getting that she would learn to keep her mouth shut! She is so rude to Jon it honestly makes me want to throw up. She is NOT "Mother of the Year" even though she feels that she is...she is "Idiot of the Year" Hang in ther Jon!
