Does anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8?

[TISH1124]

I don't care about them....But it's Entertainment for some and I have watched a couple episodes ....Nothing wrong with watching it....I personally don't have a lot of stress, drama, turmoil or negativity in my perosnal life...so I guess I have extra time...Just say'n....to each their own.....TV is TV..I too am a reality tv junkie behind some shows

 

[CellyCell]

^^I agree. To each their own. Not like I talk about them in my real life but hey, we're here to discuss and I follow the show so why not talk about here? I don't see the biggie in that.

I guess I'm just at a loss as to what the pleasure is in watching someone intentionally and willfully destroy their marriage and damage their children.

 

[TISH1124]

The show did not start out that way....and many viewers have watched it from the beginning I am sure....When the marriage was great and the children were happy...so they still follow the story. It's reality....Not a happening ending...but however it is Life.

So true. When they started the show they were a complete family. Things were different.

And I think people are fascinated by the progress of chaos.

I'm with you. I only see these fools when Joel McHale is making fun of them on The Soup. And that's more than enough for me.

I stopped watching last season when they were obviously lying about their living situation. I catch updates on forums, blogs and recaps. With all the reality shows on nowadays, all you see is people f**king up their lives, so it's kinda unavoidable.

True, it didn't used to be that way. When they still had a measure of anonymity, they seemed to get along much better. Looks to me like they have found out the hard way that along with fame usually comes a complete loss of privacy. I think Jon especially was naive enough to think he would still be able to go on about his life like normal. Then when he found out he couldn't have it both ways, he started acting out like a kid.

I don't really watch the show I just read articles in Us Weekly from time to time.

*doesn't have much of a life at the moment*

 

[TISH1124]

You don't have to watch the show to know whats going on...I don't watch it, but I have seen a few past episodes....Every news station, magazine, comedy skit are talking about it...you have to live under a rock to not hear about it...and that's what people do discuss sh*t that is going on good or bad/ stupid or indifferent...Does not mean they are promoting it or care for that matter...just idle conversation...just like most of the topics in chat to be honest. It seems for a lot of people who don't watch it however they sure know a lot about it....so somebody is watching it thats for damn sure.

If you watch it you watch ...stop fronting about it...who cares...it's TV....you're allowed.

 

[MiCHiE]

I should watch it.....for as much as I pay for these channels, I feel bad that I only watch the Real Housewives and a few other shows.

 

[TISH1124]

^^ I know thats right...I have 200 channels and Watch about 6 ....Discovery, TRU TV, Court TV and the regular channels....

 

[Pizzicata]

I keep watching because I'm a loser, wait, no, its because I feel like I have earned it after being a loyal viewer for more than three seasons. Its screwed up, I know, but the sextuplets are finally really verbal now and its cute.

 

[cupcake_x]

You're right Tish, it really IS everywhere.. Especially since I currently live in Delaware now and it's about an hour away from where they live.. Even my boyfriend knows all about it, he knows that Deanna Hummel girl because he went to West Chester University.

I just LOVE that they're talking more now.
I kept saying "aw" every time the kids would talk to each other. Too cute.

Jon & Kate Gosselin to Make an Announcement on Monday’s Show - PEOPLE TV Watch

“Jon and Kate Gosselin have an announcement.”

Those are the words that appear on the screen in a new TLC promo for a one-hour Jon & Kate Plus Eight special episode, airing Monday (9 p.m. ET).
In the spot, Kate Gosselin says, “Recently, we’ve made some life-changing decisions — decisions that will affect every member of our family, ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace.”

The stirring spot, which also flashes phrases like “A family in turmoil” and “A relationship at a crossroads,” first aired Wednesday night on TLC.
In the season 5 premiere of Jon & Kate, which was watched by a record 9.8 million viewers, the Gosselins came together to throw a fifth birthday party for their sextuplets, but admitted that marital problems had made their future together uncertain.

“I wish I knew,” Kate said when asked by producers where they stand as a couple. But they both agreed to be there for their kids. “We will always love our kids,” Jon said on the premiere. “We will come together for our kids.” – Aaron Parsley

...do you think they're announcing that this is the last season, that the cameras will be off after x# of episodes or is this a divorce/separation announcement?

i hope its the former, and hopefully the kids will get to truly be kids for their childhood, though decisions made for them in the past may not result in them ever having a "normal" childhood that doesn't include security to keep the crazies away.

 

[blindpassion]

I can almost guarantee its a divorce. I know that TLC ordered another 40 episodes of the show, they are pushing full steam ahead.

They make almost 3 million a year from what I've heard, I doubt Kate wants to give up her rich lifestyle anytime soon. I believe that she loves her kids, without a doubt you can see that in her eyes - but I think that she believes the best way to care for them and secure their future is to continue on with the show.

If you watch the old episodes, you see how in love her and Jon were... and its heartbreaking to see the dispair in his eyes, he is so unhappy.
