Jon & Kate huge numbers HOW???

[Mickeyistheman]

I think it was all a publicty stunt so they could get ratings because well they aren't the only ones now with 8 kids....Suleman is getting her own show and I am sure that A gagillion (yes I made that word up haha) will be watching that just like when Jon and Kate first came on.

She seems to be a bit controlling, I had watched a few episodes and the kids are just adorable but Kate is not a very nice person at all.

However....they chose to be on TV and they chose to have their PERSONAL lives on the air.

I don't watch, I just listen to the gossip. I would rather stick pencils in my eyes than watch a slice of someone raising their kids. I have enough frustration with my own kids.

You seem to know an awful lot about a show that you can't believe other people watch... One might think you've seen it a time or two... Just sayin’....

I knew all that stuff and I have don't watch the show! I agree they pretty much make me sick!

I guess I"m one of those people who will watch. I have been a fan of the show for a while now and I've seen practicallly every episode.

I'm not watching to see a train wreck. Truth be told last night's episode was depressing IMHO.

Same here, I love the show but it was sad to see Kate so upset. She had a feeling of hopelessness about her. I watch because the kids are so funny and sweet,

I've watched the show since it was just specials before the series. The thought of having 6 babies at once has always blown my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about the amount of work and money it takes to raise this family. I was always impressed with how they worked as a family unit.

I continue to watch because the children are so charming and it seems I've watched them grow up and it's almost like watching my neighbor's kids or even a friends kids grow up.

I'm sad for this family. I don't think they pimped out their family and now have a crisis and people are ready to throw the book at them. I hope they can find happiness again and grow as family together.

How could people what that show?? They clearly are a family in crisis and probably should break up and do years of therapy (and the kids also). He is cheating and she is cheating. So all the stuff on TV is clearly made up. He seems in interviews to be pretty hostile about the whole J & K + 8 thing. I mean they are using the show to pay for their families lifestyle. Isn't the show how they pay for the multimilion dollar home? The kids are a commodity. I just don't get why people would watch. Next week the Octomom will visit.

I think a lot of people still watch the show because they feel like they "know" the family after all these years.

Personally, while I don't watch every episode, when I do tune in it's because of those kids. I enjoy seeing them get older and watching their personalities grow.

As for any of them cheating, the only people who know the truth about that is J&K. I have my own opinion on who is telling the truth and who isn't, but still... it's just an opinion based on what tv and TLC allows it's viewers to see.

I have never watched the show. It is all over the news. I have my own multiples to raise (twins + single = twingle). Just the clips on TV look awful. The only reality TV I've watched is Top Chef and I can't believe I even watched this but Celebrity Apprentice. CA pretty much cured me of reality TV for awhile.

I wanted to watch it, but my husband insisted on watching wrestling. Now that is something I can't understand why people watch.

 

[C.Ann]

Can't speak for anyone else, but personally? Hoping they would announce that they were cancelling the show - or at the very least, announcing this would be their last season - so they can work on what is truly important in their lives - their marriage and the privacy of their 8 little children who have no voice in this matter..

And secondly - to get a list of the sponsors so that I could contact them to voice my displeasure over this train wreck being aired week after week.. Got my list and won't be watching again..

 

[ozarkmom]

I've never seen the show. I don't watch "reality" shows but I did know that stuff from the news.

How can you be shocked. Evidently you haven't checked out the Jon & Kate plus 8 thread last time I check it was on page 243.

And that was the third thread. They lock them at 250. We are now on the forth thread, come on over.
