John & Kate watch the last Jon & Kate Plus 8

We've taken a vacation from watching this train wreck of a show, but we had to come back to witness the finale.

The show opens with Kate saying she "only saw the good" in doing a reality show with her kids. "This is a very bittersweet goodbye."

And here's Jon, in a trashy t-shirt, saying "I gotta stop being a kid."

Kate S.: "Couldn't he dress up for this?"

John: "Hey, that's one of his good t-shirts."

He says living in New York is great, because "it's like I'm working again."

Kate S.: "Except he's....not."

Kate up and says she doesn't envision Jon and his girlfriend Hailey having a future.

Jon is preparing a lemonade stand with the kids to raise money for the fire company. Cara and Mady are acting up, but the crowning blow is when one of them says they like doing things better with Mommy. Jon replies that their signs are "going in the trash can."

Kate S.: "Wow!"

John: "We're going to sell lemonade and like it, darn it!"

John: "You know what I'm really upset about? No more Sonic commercials."

After a few groupies come to ogle Jon, nobody's really buying lemonade. So the kids entertain themselves by watching the ladder truck in action.

John: "So what's with the 'Lies, Lies, Lies,' shirt he's wearing? Is he trying to make a statement?"

John: "They keep saying the same things again and again."

The kids are going on a walk with Kate, and all complaining loudly. But all is well when a gentleman friend appears with a truck full of hay.

More screaming children.

John: "Too much reality!"

OMG!! You go Kate...John is a real Jerk. She will be better without him. Why did he have to throw in his "girlfriends" name into this. It was totally inappropriate for him to make the comment about Halile. Also, why did he have to say "Kate and I will never be married again?" Why does he intentionally have to say things to hurt her. Hasn't he already hurt her enough. Twenty years from now when his kids watch the tapes and really understand what happened they will see how hurtful he was to her. He is so stupid I use to feel bad for him but believe me that is over. Kate had to wear the pants. They had a lot of kids to care for and if she hadn't taken control things would have been a mess.
One good thing that comes out of John and Kate Plus 8 ending is that we don't have to hear one more time how "I was so young to have all this responsibility" Grow up John. Your children need a father and if you don't start acting like one they are going to find some one else to look up to.
Kate I know you have only the best intentions and having so much responsibility is not easy. Thanks for letting me vent.

Are they really gone? Yippee!
