Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread-Part 3

[pweyl36]

Oh, don't worry. Rest assured that Kate is making it her personal mission to make him go through hell right now. Now THISis the book I would like to see her write. I don't care how she feels about her kids (we ALL love our kids - what makes her so special, that her feelings need to be in a book?) But I think her manual on how to put your spineless husband through his own personal hell would be extremely useful to some. Now not only would that be good reading, it would be informational!

I want to read the book maddy will put out in a few yrs. I can't wait.

I don't think that Jon is cheating having sex with anyone beside Kate. I think this all is a publicity stunt for the new season to get people to watch to see what they will say or won't say

i don't think he did anything either. apparently the girl who supposedly had an affair with him is saying that her brother made the whole story up. I guess the brother has a pretty shady past and got money for "telling the story" ...

Interesting. Hard to know what the truth is. Sort of struck me as ironic that Jon and Kate get money for "telling the story", too. Life is strange sometimes, isn't it?

 

[Promomx2]

I'd like to ask Jon what his definition of "cheat" is.

Actually the brother wasn't paid for his interview. If you read the whole article in US Magazine, the brother talks candidly about his past and the mistakes he made (6 years ago when he was 23). He further says he went public with because he was trying to help her and she wouldn't listen. I'm not defending him or the way he handled this but I'm just saying...

She's no angel either...there is a sex tape circulating put forth by her ex-boyfriend. Her reputation is seriously being questioned. It's not looking good for her...

Here is the link from the today show..

She looked so sad in that clip. I guess I would be too if that was being said about my DH. I still say that they should cancel the show.

SO, you think it is ok for a married man with 8 kids to be walking out of a young girls home in the wee hours of the morning? You wouldn't have any problem with seeing pictures of the same girl sunbathing on your lawn in a bikini at your husbands feet while you were on a business trip?

It IS shady...but I don't want to believe it...I LOVE this show and this family--so sad

I agree, not to mention that fact that he was in his "new" sportscar at 2AM w/ her after spending the evening in a bar. My DH would be living in that car (stupid idea to get a 2 seater but whatever) . I'd love to hear his "excuse" for that one.

The more kids that are in school at one time the better, FAFSA wise. J&K will be helped by those numbers.

Yes-their EFC (expected family contribution) will be divided by the number of kids in college at the time. For J & K, this could be eight at one time!

I agree she did look sad!

 

[Sophie_2003]

I hope he's not cheating.

But...it looks like a duck, it walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck...It's a duck.

Just watched the Elizabeth Edwards interview on Oprah. She never thought he would cheat either...

I would cancel the show. Save your sanity. People will stop caring after a while. JMHO

 

[PaulaSue]

I am not crazy about her (love her kids) but I feel bad for what she is going though right now.

 

[talulabelle]

I agree with a PP that said she looked medicated. When you compare that zombie look and tone to her "normal" self. (like when she is SCREAMING at him on national TV to "stop playing toys and come over here and help") it doesn't even sound like the same person. She is pretty robotic and money driven by her book that she could even possibly still appear on the Today show today. Why wouldn't she stay home to work through this?

When she screams at him liek that with that venom, I can't believe she thinks that is a normal relationship. How does she talk to him off camera? He always looks like a beaten puppy when she does that. I am starting to lean to the "no wonder he finally..." camp.

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

I keep seeing posts that Jon and Kate are making $50,000-$70,000 an episode.

Did Jon, Kate or TLC state this as fact somewhere or is this speculation?

 

[Promomx2]

didn't I hear that the state of Pennsylvania gave all the kids college paid for?

Yes, the LT. Governor of PA set up a college fund for all 8 of the Gosselin's kids on their 1st b-day. Apparently it was his gift to them since he considers them treasures. He even said people could contribute to their fund by sending a check! The whole transcript is below:

I get so tired of hearing that...I hear woman talking to their husbands like that all the freaking time. At the grocery store, at the mall, at Disney...

I don't yell at my husband but if I was edited for tv I'm sure everyone would say, "omg can you believe how mean Michelle is to poor poor John". I'm pretty bossy and controlling and I know I would come across as a shrew, and I am really a lovely person!

 

[ColleenG]

I know I talk to my DH like that, not all the time. But every 4 weeks or so the "other Colleen" shows up. I've even gone so far as to tell him to mark his calendar and don't start with me! And sometimes he just brings it on himself by being an idiot.

Anyone see the interview on Larry King?
God forbid, we flip the channel from Orange County Chopper's, and Hell's Kitchen and throw the Loggers in there for good measure.
