Does anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8?

[X4biddenxLustX]

I Do! I absolutely love the show and think that all the kids are so cute. I just hate that I have to watch the episodes online since I dont have TLC and can't afford the dvds right now. But when I can I def will be buying them all. So does anyone else on here watch this show?

Yes, not all the time, but I do & I love it. Those kids are so adorable..and it amazes me how they do it.

I don't like watching Kate be mean to Jon, she can be rather harsh at times!

That show is just so so to me. Like the above poster said, Kate needs to be a LOT nicer to John. It seems like this show, as well as Little People Big World have the rudest wives. Also, while the kids are cute on Jon & Kate, those two older ones need to calm down with their attitudes, especially Maddie. I guess all is okay since it seems like their parents let them get away with it.

I absolutely LOVE this show!! I think Jon and Kate are super cute and I get their relationship. My husband (who's half Thai) looks alot like him and they're alot alike. You know how he's always making fun of Kate?? That's exactly how he is with me. I think it's cute. Also, having two little girls myself, I think it's amazing the amount of patience and organizational skills (for the lack of a better saying??) that they have to manage EIGHT little kids.

I love that show...all except for that one older twin...she is just such a little brat sometimes...

 

[M.A.C. head.]

I don't watch it all the time, but I do catch in when I see that's it's on.

I love the show. Jon is a hottie LOL I actually dig the fact that they show when Kate is mean or when Jon flips out because that's how some families are. It's a reality show that's actually NOT scripted LOL

For those saying that Kate needs to be nicer to Jon, it's probably not that she's intentionally being mean to him, sometimes she lashes out because she's stress. With their situation, who WOULDN'T be? Plus, she's the one who is ALWAYS with them. He spends a lot of time with them too, but she is a SAHM while has somewhat of an escape from it, even though having a job is hardly an escape Ha! Jon gets an attitude with her too, it just happens sometimes. But they love each other and their relationship is just so adorable.

they have a lot of help. a lot.
i think the show is a joke.
the parents are making a ton of cash by making a spectical of their children. its like a modern-day equivalent of a freak show. the kids have no say, they have no child labor protections. i dont blame the older children for acting out, they are starting to realize what's going on.
there are a lot of reports out there from people previously associated with the show (aunt jody being the most prominent) speaking out against what is going on.

I watch it often, as I tend to leave TLC on when there's nothing else on TV. A lot of the episodes seem to be the same to me, though. Definitely reminds me of why I don't want one kid, let alone eight.

Definitely not as freaky or terrible as the show "17 Kids and Counting" which just scares me.

 

[blindpassion]

I think its a great show, I admire Jon and Kate for the effort they put in to raise their family the best way they can.

 

[X4biddenxLustX]

Someone on youtube just uploaded a new episode that I haven't watched yet! So yes I'm very excited lol.

But about the Kate being mean thing, I do think sometimes she acts a bit too harsh towards Jon. Like in the Korean Barbecue episode when he spent a lot of time in "her" kitchen and she kept complaining about it. She does seem to be the very controlling type of person while Jon is much much more laid back. But you never really know though what exactly goes down since TLC could be doing alot of editing just to I guess stir up some kind of "drama" on the show if that makes any sense? lol. But I can tell that at the end of the day they all love each other very much.

I think they probably do have A LOT of help but even with help it must still be stressful trying to raise 8 constantly growing kids with growing needs.

Can someone elaborate more on the Aunt Jodi situation?

I do also find Jon cute haha! Plus he just seems so cool and fun to hang around with.

 

[wifey806]

that show makes my husband want to have kids (cuz he's mixed too). It's just cute to watch my hubby and see the joy in his eyes <3

i love lil hannah. she's so sassy, like my little niece

 

[MissMochaXOXO]

kate really irritates me sometimes. seriously jon has wiped 6 different baby butts in 1 day!i can't even get my man to wipe 1 baby butt in a month! lol she doesn't treat him right sometimes, shes lucky he's there 4 her and helps out as much as he does.

 

[caitlin1593]

this is like my favorite show! I've seen every episode

I LOVE little Aedan (sp?) he is sooooo cute!
Joel went a notch up when he said "I have a weiner, Daddy's have weiners" haha loved that.
Can't stand Maddie though.. serious attitude and jealousy issues..
With Kate being mean, just imagine the stress. I know I wouldn't be happy pappy all the time with 6 kids under 5 haha

 

[CellyCell]

I love this show. I can't stand any scenes with Maddie, though.
Every time she comes on, my mom will be like "ugh! Her!"
And it annoys me when Kate tries to correct Jon for every mispronunciation or whatever - once is fine, but she'll like - drag the hell out of it. And she needs a new hairstyle.

Other than that - the show is cool and Jon's humor cracks me up. I think Aaden and Alexis are the cutest thing ever.
The attitude in Hannah... Jesus, another Maddie.

 

[hello_kitty]

I read that they only film the show 3 days out of the week, so it's not like the cameras are there 24/7. They do have permanent lighting fixtures installed, though, so the kids aren't tripping over power cords and what not. It'd be interesting to see the house in person and all the lights.

I think Kate's haircut is practical to her situation. I've had that same haircut, and it's a lot easier to style and deal with, than longer hair.

 

[X4biddenxLustX]

I think my favorite girl would have to be Alexis with her sassiness and her love for the aldergators lol. As for boy it be Aaden cause he has those funny looking glasses on and pretends to be a different animal every day lol. Joel's weiner line was just a classic haha. I think I looked a bit like Hannah when I was little, does anyone remember when she was like "Enjoy yourself!" with the little attitude? sooo cute lol.

Sometimes I actually do feel bad for Mady because she was probably use to getting alot of attention when it was just her, Cara and her parents. And with 8 kids your not always able to give each and every child there undivided attention. I think they discussed that in the Mady's day episode that they think she acts out because she doesn't get enough attention. But then again alot of the time I'm just like omg...I can't believe she just did that or I can't believe she's acting like that. But like I said they do probably edit alot out so we dont really know for sure.

The house they live and film in looks really tiny to fit 8 growing people and their parents. I heard that there building a much bigger house in North Carolina and plan on moving in soon. I wonder what the new place will look like cause I'm so use to seeing the house they live in now.

I don't ever notice Kate being short or mean to Jon? I mean she's at home with the kids ALL day so I couldn't blame her, PLUS I seen him say and do some stupid things.

I watch it, pretty much everyday. Infact I watched it earlier on, episode where they went to an organic farm, bought half a cow ha ha. I don't know what series etc we're on in the UK compared to the US but whatever I love it, I could just continually watch it for hours.

I love Jon and Kate as a couple, they seem to have their moments of tension but I think they come across like they really value their relationship and making it work aswell as the kids. Their kids seem really well rounded too, and Jon and Kate obviously make the most of giving them as much life experience as they grow up as possible. They come across as very caring, yet giving people despite the fact with eight little ones there must be a large financial burden. I think the kids are hilarious too, too cute aswell I'd just put them in my pocket and take them home. Loved Aaden when he was a lion then a dragon!

Gives me ideas of having a large family ha ha - I don't think I'd cope quite so well though somehow.

 

[hawaii02]

Yes, sometimes I watch. I missed the newest episode, but finally caught the wedding the other night. The kids are adorable, John is funny, but Kate can get irritating

(Is Maddie turning into her Mom??)
