Does anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8?

[TISH1124]

I saw the commercial...I say...they have a hell of a marketing/advertising agency....because the ratings just to watch the show is estimated to be higher than the presidential election...WTF...so crazy!!! I always say the suspense and build up is normally not what everyone thinks it will be...because that ruins the surprise factor ..it is only a marketing tool to get people tuned in....it really would surprise me if they announce a divorce because that is what 99.9% of the viewers expect......But then again...I don't really care either way....I am sure it will posted all over every magazine and every TV channel just as it is now....This drama has put so much money in their pocket...makes you wonder...Hummmm this was probably planned all along to boost ratings...But I am not a follower so I may be wrong...But I do believe 75% of all Reality show is not real but rehearsed for ratings....

I don't take TV show emotions to heart....Most have become great actors over the years and know what to do to keep the money train moving down the tracks.

I completely agree. I honestly doubt its a divorce annoucement... because like Tish said it's what all the viewers expect and TLC has ordered 40 episodes. I think they'll be announcing that they'll be seeking marriage counseling. I read a while ago... I forget where... that they'll be doing counseling and that TLC will be filming parts of the sessions for the show. I'm not sure I agree with the sessions being filmed but I do support their decision to seek counseling if indeed that is what they'll be doing. I guess we'll see on Monday.

good points brought up! I totally agree, they are just trying to hype it up and its not going to be all crazy.

tish I am with you, I think so much is scripted/preplanned, you can just feel it when you are watching some "reality" shows. All about entertainment, but it feels so manufactured that I don't want to watch to spite those concocting these shows.

I have a feeling they are announcing that Jon is moving out. I dunno about divorce, I kinda think its bound to happen eventually.

That was my next question: does it have the chunky highlights.

Ooohh man. I think appeal for Kate would go way up if she changed that hair of hers.

 

[Shimmer]

It sticks up in the back and EVERYTHING. I mean...it's...I...couldn't say anything when I saw it.

She could have also been inspired by this guy from that tool show on vh1

i just got into this show last year. i'm really sad they coldn't make it without cheating or whatever it is that happened. i'm not surprised though because kate always treated jon like he was the kids adult male nanny or something lol like she hired him, so she can boss him around and talk down to him. of course that's no excuse for a man to cheat, but it is def. an excuse for a man wanting a seperation.

i just feel really bad for those kids in the end.

 

[hawaii02]

I'm highly curious as to what the announcement will be tomorrow regarding whatever it is that has been plaguing them. They just need to stop the show completely.

 

[Morena.Doll]

That family is a mess, they are obviously separated or something.
I feel sorry for their kids.

What would you even ask for? I'd like a haircut that resembles a peacock & please make sure it has blond highlights?
