Does anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8?

[joojoobss]

I LOVE the show! i actually rented all of it because i kept on missing it on tv.
but i found out they had another show before jon & kate plus 8, its called surviving sextuplets, something like that.. and its about the 6 kids when they were much younger and 100x cuter!

i think the 2 twins are wayyy too much.. i cant believe they're 8? 10? i forget.. and they still cry and scream as much as they do.

i kinda like the relationship jon and kate have together.. even though she's a little mean to him, he loves her sooo much and they balance each other out so much.

Yeah I def agree that yes they do have there moments but they do compliment each other most of the time. Like theres that balance like joojoobss said with the control Kate has(which with that many kids you will need) and fun and laid backness Jon has. It obviously works for them I guess since there still together and not at their wit's end and there children seem like there smart and growing up fine.

I thought the episode where they renewed there vowels in Hawaii was just so sweet. I can tell it meant alot for the kids too, to know that their parents aren't going anywhere and are staying together for good.

It must be expensive raising all those kids. They have 8 kids to put through university this may their way of making extra cash.

they get a ton of money, endorsements, appearances, freebies, and money from their shows. jon doesnt work outside the home any more. they have hired people that help them in their home and to help take care of the kids.

 

[CellyCell]

Yeah, they make pretty good money now that I saw Kate endorsing her books and TV appearances. I read somewhere the shows are like $40k an episode? They obviously make good money, enough to expand their house.

Plus kate seems pretty savy with money saving - she spends just a few hundred every shopping? My mom drops like $100 at Costco for 3 things for 5 people... haha.

 

[X4biddenxLustX]

It would be very wise of them to be saving up cash to pay for tuition for 8 kids, which prices on everything rising they have to!

Wow $40k an episode?! If thats true even with that money they dont look like their living the "rich" life. Yeah they do go on lots of vacations but I think the kids deserve to get to go to places and enjoy things plus the resorts they go to offer them free trips and everything. It's the resorts way of advertising in a sense too by having them visit these places. Kate does seem like a big bargain hunter type of person, always looking for a good deal. I admire that they dont seem to be spoiling their kids rotten with all the money there making.

I like the show and my mom loves it. Though Maddy is very trying...

Most of the time they crack me up and are cute. Though Jon really makes me laugh. The things he says and the looks he gives sometimes, hehe...

 

[xxManBeaterxx]

Haha i love this show but i dont have tivo or any of those fancy upgraded cable connections so i often miss the episodes :\ I havent seen this show in months

I really like Leah? Is that her name? (actually im not sure im taking about the right girl) But i love how shes so helpful and she chooses to sit down and help her mom with all the chores and i remember an episode where she helped fold the laundry at 4 years old!! while all the other kids are outside playing

 

[X4biddenxLustX]

^^ You can watch some episodes on youtube, thats what I do. It sucks that they don't have all that many uploaded on there but its better than nothing. I'm currently trying to see if there are any other sites that have the episodes uploaded. I wonder if I can just go to blockbusters or family video and rent the dvds? Ugh I wish I had the money to buy them!


Has anyone watched the episode Mady's day where she gets to go and get her ears pierced and then gets to eat out at red robbin's afterwards? I loved when her parents were describing her, at first they said that she has a good heart and then goes on to say how she can be manipulative, lying, etc and finally how she just leaves them speechless cause she's so unpredictable. It's true from what I've seen of her on the show but its so funny how Jon & Kate said it about her though lol.

Your talking about Hannah, "mommy's little helper or little mother" as Kate has called her lol. I love the smile she had on her face when she helped fold laundry! I think I looked sort of like her with a mix of Leah when I was younger.

 

[Kayteuk]

I think Mady is really jelous of the younger ones. Very very jelous. I noticed Cara has her moments but not so much, i really wish they could do something to sort out mady's mood swings and her jelousy, i have to turn off the TV when it happens, it just out right annoys me!

EDIT: Changed the names since I was obviously without sleep when i wrote this, lol!

 

[blindpassion]

^ do you mean sort out mady's mood swings? not caras..

I can't believe what a rank bitch Kate is. I'm convinced that Jon spends his days fine-tuning his escape plan to get away from that vituperous wainch. I mean if everything your husband says and does is wrong and he's just an all around dumb ass at some point that reflects badly on you, you goof troop! She's just over the top critical and I wouldn't blame him for baling on her, not the kids, and getting his own place. Run, Jon, run!!

 

[hawaii02]

I love Jon's sense of humor. He's very laid-back and the kids are adorable. Kate is a major control freak.

I'm praying that one day he turns around and bitch slaps her. She sucks. I foresee many years of therapy bills for those poor children.

I live pretty close to them. Jon is actually turning into an alcoholic, i believe. He is out at the 3rd and spruce cafe in reading every night during the week. I know this because my brother in laws best friend work there. Then on the weekends he goes to legends in reading. He actually showed up there with this girl I went to high school with. She is 23. hmm I dont know, but it seems off the camera he really isnt around much.

Thats pretty interesting, maybe thats why Kate is so stressed.

 

[blindpassion]

I think him becoming an alcholic would pretty much be the end of that happy family. Kate would never put up with that.

I have to agree with that. It's sad if all of this stuff is true. It's not going to ruin the show for me though. I just like watching the show and seeing all the kids little happy faces and tiny voices speak.

 

[User35]

I cant wait for the season premier in like a week or something.

Have you guys been keeping up on their drama?!?!? Oh lordy they are all over the tabliods and whatnot...hes been caught with some young gal lately ( I guess sweetie0716 was correct !). Cant blame him though I dont know if I could put up with her. But at the same time Im sure his actions kinda trigger her bitchyness. Ive also read that Kate is doing the "body guard". LOL !

I just saw the teaser for the new season and they talk about "how they are in different places"....hm

I wonder if they're are gonna get divorced like most of the other reality show couples ?? Nick and Jessica, Hulk and Linda, the Meet the Barkers folks.

 

[TISH1124]

^ I know so much drama...who has time for all that with all those kids...Now he was having an affair with the 23 y/o and she was having one with the bodyguard.....WOW....who was watching the brood thru all this making out lol...But she was just a general mean ass anyway

If this is all true...I doubt they will continue their contract....Back to working in the real world
