Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread-Part 3

[newtodis]

They certainly know how to stir up some free publicity for their show huh?? Has anyone heard about Kate's reaction? Any tour dates/appearances been cancelled due to a "family emergency"? I'm just thinking I'd be cancelling to get home or having another family/friend take care of the kids while I wasn't there (I wouldn't be across the country without my kids in the first place!). I guess running home to be with them seems like the "mom" thing to do to me. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but that's ok too.

I'm wondering if the young lady he was with has been paid off in some way so she won't go public.....

I think he is done with the Show...He has been looking and stating he wanted out. He must face a lot of local family and friends grief over Kates treatment of him....What she did to Jody, and anyone else noted in the show by anexing them out of the pictiure was selfish after so many people helped them, even long before the show.

Perhaps for the rest of this season Kate will go on, she thrives on the income she hates so much invasion from.
I also wonder, if US magizeen may be stretching this out for the sales of its recent issue.

It has a brief statement then says buy the issue to see pictures.
So i guess there is trouble in paradise, and they still want the perks.
Jon, is so spoiled. The two of them are so opposite

Bless the children, but he should have stopped after the twins if that was a family for him......

Do you think that maybe Jon did this late night bar visit really on purpose to make a stink so that TLC would cancel the show.

He probably never stopped going out.
I think it started when he went out to Utah skiing with Kara.
It was reported that he sent her home and he stayed for more days.
It had to be right after they moved into their new home. Then they said, he bought a condo in Utah. That little tidbit got hushed pretty quick.
Then February he got caught, and I think he just got caught again.
He probably figured after they did damage control, everyone would leave them alone.
Remember Mr. Chow's?
I can't believe Kate is still promoting her book.

just a little off the current J&K topic, but I saw a woman looking at the house for sale next door today, and she had "Kate hair"! I couldn't believe it was the same exact style....all blond and streaky with long side swept bangs with an spiky explosion in back Who knew she was a trend setter

 

[DreaGirl]

Where can you find a list of the speaking engagements? Did she have any these last few days?

No facts, just a hunch. I think they have been separated, not living as husband and wife for a while. I think he is at the house (or the crib as juvenile Jon said) when Kate isn't. I think he was near his mom or with his mom when this started. They probably can't go public with their divorce/separation due to tv contracts, but he is going public by way of his actions. I don't think he sees what he is doing as wrong or disrespectful; I don't think they're together.
I think he has acted for months during the couch interviews like he doesn't want to breathe the same air as Kate. I bet the house is DEFINITLEY hers and her idea. Obvioulsy 8 kids can't go back and forth between residences, so he does his Dad duty when she is traveling, but obviously has a nanny too. I am only going with my feeling, not facts. It is very sad; whatever is going on isn't an intact, healthy marriage. I don't think a whole bunch of kids has been their demise, but the show.

I was thinking along those lines myself!

Holy cow! I've never heard these reports! Wow. I feel so duped then. Boy did they fool a lot of us. You know, I said to myself it's weird that just he and Cara went on that ski trip. It reminded me of when my parents divorced and they took us seperately on trips to be sure we felt loved and paid attention to.

Has anyone heard anything about Kate's reaction at all? I certainly wouldn't want to be in the Gosselin household for THAT conversation!

I saw the Michigan ones, they are around my DD's birthday (one day after the sextuplets birthdays). One is $150 and the other is $35, too much for me.

if I'm not mistaken, it's Jon and Kate together in Michigan?

Nope, just Kate. The $150 is Tea with Kate and the other is a speaking engagement at a church.

I thought I'd read somewhere they are doing an engagement together -- a women's show?

Could be, but not in MI. Here's the info.

[Grumpy's Gal]

so is anyone else thinking just about the time they moved into the MANSION is about the time that Jon started straying? Maybe Kate and her big house was just too much for him to handle.......he's stayed with her a lot longer than I could have....

 

[TotalSnowWhite]

At this point, I would so pay $150 to have tea with Kate...and I don't even drink tea! That's a deal compared to the Perfectly Princess Tea Party (or whatever it's called at GF).

I read some replies on the blog Gosselins Without Pity.
I would say some are defending Kate and want them to work it out.
Others are wondering what Jon was thinking,
and the rest, Kate haters, so whatever Jon did is ok.

Neighbors are starting to post.
Jon was quoted as saying 200 cars a day sit on his road and watch the house. One lady, said that is a bunch of bull. The house is sitting on land that is over 30 acres and there is also another small house with the barn, which was never showed on tv. One lady said, her mom has to drive down the road every day to go to and from work, and she never see's any cars. Plus she said, it is a very narrow road, and there is no place to pull over and park your car. So one story is already torn apart.

I never believed the 200 cars thing. There would have been a lot more stories about it. If he would have said we see cars pulling over to take pics, I would have believed that, but not 200.
