J n K + 8 - J


Like thousands, maybe millions, of those that watched the Jon and Kate plus 8 episode last night like me, what did you think? Honestly, I was not surprised, yet I was surprised by the fact that Jon said, "he was excited to start a new chapter in his life." Hmmmm....I'm not sure what that exactly means?


Anyway, today everyone was talking about the episode at work, blogs, text messages, Facebook, Twitter - we just can't get enough of J & K - and I admit it! :)


I have watched the show from the beginning and I love the kids. It was a half hour of my time that I could smile and be thankful I didn't have 8 children to care for. I've always thought Kate talked down to Jon (at least what made it on TV), but last night I finally realized that we have no idea what really goes on behind closed doors. We have no idea how bad this family is hurting. People continue to judge the Gosselins for every move they make or don't make. I say, take a walk in their shoes for a day and then give me your opinion.


Bottom line, I'm sad to see their marriage dissolve. Divorce is never easy and unfortunately all too common. But I think we can learn something from the Gosselins - don't be quick to judge.

  1. I can't believe they are still doing the show. Instead of being real people and trying to work out there marriage they are exploiting there 8 kids for more profit to see how they respond to the divorce. I think that is just sick and wrong. I don't watch the show, but I read that is what is going on and it disturbs me.

  2. Again, we don't know the whole story of why they are or are not continuing to do the show. I'm pretty sure TLC doesn't want it to end b/c of all of the profits they have made off of them.
