Jon and Kate Plus 8 official Thread, Part 2!!

[happygirl]

Some of you people I feel so sad for you. Talking trash about people who have never meet or will never know. Some of you talk about Kate like you know her, all we see is 30 minutes of her life. That is it. We have no idea what she is really like do we?


If you hate the show TURN IT OFF!!! some days I pray this thread gets closed

Hey everyone.
We have to be careful with this thread.
We can continue it, but we cannot discuss Jon and Kate's religious beliefs any longer.
We can mention that they do talks at various churches,
but we cannot discuss their religious beliefs any longer.
It is a new DIS guidelines, in case anyone did not see the update this weekend.

Thank you for the reminder. I just saw that update this morning.

who is this guy?

Kind of looks like John O'Hurley to me!

Everyone ready for the big finale tonight!!....

Honestly I think it has something to do with the move, maybe about how hard it is to find furniture to fill that big house. I watch the preview yesterday and that is what it point to to me. Of course I could be wrong...but I do not think it has ANYTHING to do with their marriage, which I think is fine. My parents bicker, just like J&K, some couples just do.

Have you ever been to the gosselinswithout pity board?......This thread is so so tame compared to that lot.....There are people there who seem to live to hate kate...its truly frightening....Poor Kate can do nothing right in their eyes.

I respect others having different opinions to me (Iam a big fan of jon and Kate)...but its the hatred i don't understand....it is very sad

Madge- Did you see this guy when you saw Kate? He seems to be in most every picture I see of her signing or speaking. Most people's accounts are similar to yours. There is a personal blog called Girls in White Dresses with a nearly identical experience. Kate must be consistent at least!

Publicist???

I don't think it would be hard to fill that big house with furniture when Lane gives it to you and delivers it. I agree, I would be surprised if they address their marriage being in a rough spot. I don't think it is fine though, they have both addressed the fact they have had a rough, stressful year. They sure played the commercial up to look like they are addressing marital strains; the fact that they are using what's in the news to sell shows (true or not) really turns me off. The twins are old enough to read, hear and understand what is being said.

I think all the Reality Show Producers must get together and say, "hey" "let's give our viewer's some exciting pre-views, that will have nothing to do with the show."

I'm sure Jon and Kate will talk about something, because Jon has been way too quiet the last month in the commentator's chair. There is something definately wrong.

I'm thinking they're dangling the marriage on the rocks carrot and it will turn out that Jon's dogs have to go back instead. Whatever it is - we'll all be tuned in so the dangled carrot will work!

thanks for keeping us up to date!!

I think Kate's recent church appearance in Georgia is the last one, at least for a while. I read on one of the blogs that most of the upcoming dates are women's shows and book signings.

I think you're right -- but I won't be watching. Kentucky is playing basketball tonight, I have a game to watch!

Wow. That's a little harsh. If you read this thread carefully most of us used to and some still do love the show. As far as Kate and the show are concerned, if you choose to broadcast your life on t.v. and live in a fishbowl, there will be criticism.

Most people on this thread seem to feel that the show has changed, lost it's charm now that Jon and Kate have this celebrity status/lifestyle. I wouldn't call that talking trash. The clear facts are just that, clear. Kate is nasty to Jon on the show and numerous people have seen/met her in person and said the same.

I'm in the "used to love the show" camp because when it started out, it was very relatable to my life. Here's Kate with all her little ones, she quit her nursing job to stay home with them. It was entertaining because I stay at home too with my girls. The charm of the show, at least for me, was the everyday things. Getting everyone fed breakfast, dressing, grooming, trying to clean up, etc. That's what I found interesting not to mention that her kids are so darn cute. Now it seems that all the attention from being on t.v. has gotten to them. Anyhow, this is how I feel about it. I'll be curious to see what happens on tonight's episode. For the record, I hope they do work out their problems, whatever they are and stay together.

ITA.
Me and my youngest dd who is 19, would just sit and laugh at some of the cute things the kids did.
And, Kate has had some good moments.
Her and Jon were discussing the basement floors in the new house, and one of the boys were around, and she just picked him up and flipped him upside down and hung on to him. She then gave him a big kiss and sent him on his way. It was a totally unspontaniety moment, yet no one ever discusses the good anymore.

I think it will be about the dogs, too.

They will probably put out a new dangle about the marriage to keep us hanging on until next season.

Wow. That's a little harsh.

I must say I read that and thought it was a little harsh as well. Really, there's no one on here saying truly hateful things about the family - regardless of how you feel about the family and the choices they've made, I think we're a pretty good group here and keep the discussions limited to the topics - not necessarily the people and if it is to people only to J&K who were able to make the choices. I don't think anyone here would ever tolerate anyone talking about any of the kids negatively as I feel that's just not appropriate. I agree we'll never know the "real" Kate (unless that is the "real" Kate as they say this is their life....all depends on what you believe) but opinions will be formed based on what's shown on tv, seen in public, read in print, ect. I know there are many other sites out there that are "worse" than this - I don't think anyone should take that as a free pass to get almost to that "worse" line and I don't think anyone here is on that path. Just because another person treats another person badly doesn't mean you should follow suit. Discussing that person's life with their choosing to make it public is fine in my standards.

I guess the same sentiment could go with reading this thread - if it offends you that badly, skip over it. There are certainly enough other topics on the DIS to entertain someone I would think. I'm sure we would love for you to stay and discuss if you so choose so long as we're all using our manners.

I'm also in the "used to love the show" group. It's a show I can watch with my DSs4 and 2 - DS4 says it's his favoritie show. I know things are a bit hairy though when even he will point out the complaining, rule breaking (according to our house rules), yelling, fighting, ect going on. That's not the life I'd like him to live when he grows up. I'll let him watch the older shows mostly. If he catches a newer one, we're just more careful about what he sees and talk about what he's watching so he can learn from it. Things have certainly changed though and that's sad because it seems to be for the worse. I truly hope J&K can work things out if that's what both of them want.

I also wanted to share this video that was on a J&K facebook page:

Not much of J&K in there but the Little People Big World and the new family coming on tonight (all TLC families).

I totally agree with you! I loved the show when it first started! I felt I could relate more to it. Now I have to say I do not watch or like it! Change in the way they live maybe? It just lost what I loved about it so I don't watch. I also hope they work things out. They have 8 beautiful children to think about so even if they do not work it out I hope for their children they can at least be friendly! We will see I guess!

I AGREE!

The people who say you should skip the thread are the people who are being negative! They want to continue their "lets gripe and whine" about Kate, how she talks at events, how she handles her family, etc. Im surprised a MOD is allowing this as well. If we were trash talking someone who is a member of this board, it wouldn't get this far would it? And to think some of the regulars on this thread hold jobs within a church. Thats a whole other thread in itself. I know some of you don't want the 'host churches' thinking that you think negative things about them-- but gosh why say things about other people. Do you go to work and talk about other people like that? . Lets not get off on that though-- this thread is just plain mean. I see VERY little good or mediocre comments but mainly negativity.

You all are aloud your opinions, as negative and harsh as they are.... so allow those of us (and there are QUITE a few of us) who think you have nothing better to do that sit at your computer and bash someone you dont even know, to have ours! And I shouldn't get any heat over this post... considering the things you've said about Kate are and the finger pointing is far far far beyond what anyone has even halfway said about this thread. Have we forgotten that these are REAL LIVES, and it isnt a movie on TV. These people (And those "precious kids" that you all say you love) will be hurt by all of this. It doesn't matter a lick what happens elsewhere and on other boards, it matters whats happening here.

I know some of you don't want the 'host churches' thinking that you think negative things about them-- but gosh why think such harsh things (and breed it) about GODS people. Do you go to church and talk about other people like that? Not the same on Sunday as you are on Monday? I guess I can say that from one church goer to another. Lets not get off on that though-- this thread is just plain mean. I see VERY little good or mediocre comments but mainly negativity.

Did you read the new rules? No talk about religion and I would think that includes judging peoples actions that you think are ungodly.
