Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 5

[LoraJ]

I don't think those kids would have been well adjusted if their parents had stayed together, the divorce is just going to make it all even worse.

But who cares about that... I'm more interested in your profile picture. Is that you with Jonathan Knight????? Did you meet him? Woooo hooo! How exciting! I'm going to see the New Kids on Thursday and I cannot wait!

Yes, that's me and Jonathan Knight.
My friends and I used to chase them around a lot 20 years ago and we hung out with him many times. It was so good seeing him again and I was thrilled that he remembered me.

I kept looking at your profile pic wondering where I knew that guy from...

Joey was my favorite.

Okay, back to the debates!!! haha!!

2 YEARS? Huh?! So why is Kate acting like this is all a shock. That can't be right....unless Jon really was sleeping in the basement (not Leah) all that time!

2 years my foot. The pathetic excuse of a vow renewal will get in her way with that claim.

 

[DreaGirl]

Okay, back to the debates!!! haha!!

I'm dying over here! I used to dream about what I would say if I met them in person.

Do they honestly think any of this info is going to be kept "private"? And why should it matter since they publicly flaunt everything anyhow?

People can be bought for the right price.. There will be no "privacy" regarding any of this..

LoraJ,
Those pictures are too cool!

I just caught the re-run of the episode where they all went to Disney World.

I have never posted to this thread but I read it everyday. I too watched the Disney World episode this afternoon and it made me so sad. Especially at the end when Kate said "we know we have to come back someday". As I watched that particular episode I noticed how many times Jon screamed at her. Something I hadn't noticed before. I think he gives as much as he gets but the show editing doesn't seem to go there very often. I know most of the posters here are on team Jon but in all honesty I feel very sorry for Kate. When Jon made the remark last night that he's excited to be starting a new part of his life I nearly gagged. Even DH who doesn't watch the show very often said that guy is a real low life. And I swear if he tells the camera how old he is one more time I'm going to scream. Who cares that he's only 32 and wants to change his lifestyle? Wouldn't we all like to do that sometimes? Heck I'm 62 and trust me there have been moments. LoL But I'm a grown up and I have responsibilities that I take seriously. Something I don't think Jon knows the slightest thing about. I really do feel that Kate has been dealing with nine children for quite a while now. My heart goes out to her. This isn't going to be an easy road to travel.

I just watched Kevin & Jodi's new radaronline interview. Lovely aren't they? So moments after J&K told their news on TV, Kevin & Jodi did their interview trashing them. What really ticked me off was that Kevin said it was such a personal, private issue and he was actually a little mad they did it on TV. So my question is simply this...then why the heck are you (Kevin & Jodi) going on radaronline??? Is that private? No. But I guess it's ok for them to do it. Jodi said it's not ok for it to be veiwed by millions but it's ok for her to talk about it to radaronline? Knowing that millions would be seeing her radaronline interview? What a load of garbage. I'm sorry but if Kevin & Jodi are truly concerned, they wouldn't be making a video that will further cause drama. They feel compelled and lead to do this, to bring awareness. What else is there to say about J&K? How is going to radaronline going to help the Gosselin kids? Kevin says he's urging Americans to see the kids as regular kids, not fictional characters. I never viewed the kids this way, did anyone else?

Does anyone know how much radaronline pays for their interviews? I'd be curious to know. Wasn't it nice that Kevin & Jodi were all ready to go with their interview as soon as J&K made their announcement? Sheesh, this is like a really bad soap opera.

I agree with what you say but I also don't see much difference between that and saying you refuse to watch the show yet spending all day hitting up tabloid news sites increasing their traffic, buying the mags and posting to threads and blogs about the subject. Kind of hypocritical in a sense to me as well.

I make no bones about it, I am tuning in to watch this freak show. I don't like either one at this point much but can see both sides of the story and think the kids are already damaged beyond much help so I don't feel bad tuning in. I would love to see more of season 4 because just 2 years ago at the tups 3rd birthday and at Jons 30th birthday everything seemed more then fine to me. I didn't watch last year but would like to see if I can tell things were going downhill.

Jon continues, "The one thing I do agree with in Kate's statement is her desire to resolve things amicably. Of course emotions are running high for both of us right now, but for the sake of our children and our family's privacy, I hope that we can both limit our public comments about the legal proceedings going forward." [/I]

I am praying that they both will do this as well.

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

TMZ is reporting something different - that simply means she must wait 2 years from the moment the marriage was considered over before the divorce can be finalized.

Thank you, that makes more sense.

When did they buy the house? THat was within the last two years, right?
Who would sign a mortgage with someone you can't get along with? Judge Judy would have a FIELD DAY with that!

I used to be team Jon and always thought Kate was the witch....until I started to watch the shows over. I've posted it several times, that he gave as good as he got, just sometimes quieter or sneakier. I really noticed it the past few days, on the old shows, even the first season. She just lets it roll off of her..she has other children to tend to.

Did you notice that Jon said last night that "we" bought the house for the kids?

 

[Tweevil]

Wow... I didn't read all the replies yet but this is certainly the kiss of death if I have ever saw one.

I won't be watching anymore - too much drama and I don't want to feed into their egos anymore.

(but I will hang around here and read it from you guys, it's much funner..lol )

 

[dairyou]

Sometimes I don't know who to feel sorry for more. Maybe Kate because she doesn't want her marriage to end? Or Jon because maybe Kate won't stop doing the show and that is causing the rift? I'm sure they both have reasons.

Of course like everyone else said it is sad for the kids. I think divorce is hard enough let alone it being done over the media. I wonder how many of the kids will blame themselves because they both say they are doing this for their kids?

I may be off base but I thought the house was bought in the name of a corporation or legal trust... and if that is the case I would imagine it would be separate from the divorce property division. But maybe I read it wrong...

Back when the house was first purchased it was reported that it was in trust - in their attorney's name.. Don't know if it's true or not..

 

[OK!]

Wow, I just watched last night's episode and geez, was that ever one of the most depressing things I ever saw. I never watched the show for any of the J&K drama to begin with--I just loved watching the kids. I feel so sorry for them.

 

[Nik's Mom]

Ok, Jon and Kate experts. When was the vow renewal filmed? If they've been living apart for 2 years, and the vow renewal was just last year, then that is just plain wrong! And to keep harping about "mommy and daddy will be together forever"! Ugh!
