I wasn't going to watch, BUT my DH wanted to see it. So we watched. OMG I can't believe Jon saying he's excited about thenew direction his life is taking. He's EXCITED about a divorce ? Being away from his kids ? So sad.
They are BOTH at fault for this mess. Kate saying in the beginning, She wanted one more child after the twins. Jon did not. She got her way and more than they expected. ( 6 babies not 1)
Jon didn't stand up for himself. Kate didn't respect her husband or marriage. He turns bitter, she gets worse ................
Kate says they haven't been together the last 2 yrs. So their reality['/i] show was all lies.
I say TLC needs to just cancel the show all together.

I'm finally tired of this train wreck. Anyone watching the 2 new episodes tonight? I think I'll pass. I might (big MIGHT) give it 10 minutes to entertain me, but if it doesn't, to heck with them.
The media has, for the most part, dropped them. A few entertainment shows are still talking and have now switched from picking on Kate to putting Jon under a microscope. I don't know what to think, but one thing I do believe is that he's out having the fun that Kate never let him have. And the life that he had to put on hold because of 8 kids. I just hope he doesn't ignore his kids. It kind of looks that way, but it could be just the media's spin on it.
I wouldn't doubt if TLC & maybe even the Gosselins created this most recent break between episodes on purpose. They've seen that the audience grows after a layoff and they know interest in the show has gone down. They might have wanted the break after their divorce announcement just to try to gain viewers back.
OK I just watched the first few minutes of the 1st episode (there's 2 new half hour ones tonight). It was recorded back in Jan. before most of the mess aired, they were getting some remodeling done.
I think it was Jon who said the house just wasn't designed for 10 people. Well no sh*t Sherlock! Most houses AREN'T built & designed for EIGHT kids. Then he suggested an under-the-counter fridge and Kate asked him, "What planet are you from?" But after the designers told her what it would be good for (drinks, etc. for the kids to keep them out of the big fridge) she had to eat crow.
That's all it took. I turned it off.

Jon is trying to get the life he feels he should have had. He was in France partying w/ a clothing designer. They might do a childrens clothing line that the kids oulod wear. His fling at the time was the daughter of the Dr who did Kates tummy tuck. Apparently he moved on from her to another.
What makes me sick about the whole kitchen re-do , you know its all for free.
Train wreck .....
but like all wrecks, you know its there, yet you can't turn away.

So Kate was on the Today show the other morning telling everyone that Jon took $230,000 out of their joint bank account that only had $231,000 in it to begin with. Jon said that's a lie, he only took out $22,000.
Both claim they have the paper trail to prove their side of the story, yet neither of them produce said paper trail.
Kate sat there in front of America and said she now has no money and a stack of bills in her purse that she can't pay. That Jon took the money that was to pay for their children's food & a roof over their head.
What a lying (insert expletive here)!! They get roughly $75,000 PER EPISODE, not counting all the freebies. She has a best selling book. She makes countless appearances at speaking engagements & book signings (none of them for free, I'm sure). She guest-hosted The View and makes multiple appearances on every talk show out there AND has a new talk show of her own that will start soon. You mean to tell me you're broke? BULL!!
To sit there and use the well being of your kids to get back at your ex husband on national TV is pathetic.
I'm not saying Jon is a saint by any means. He's making bad choices himself. But the tides have turned and for some stupid reason, Kate is now viewed as the victim in all this which couldn't be more wrong.
I wish TV producers would ignore these 2. Stop putting them on your shows, stop giving them the attention they've grown addicted too. The older those 8 kids get, the less of a grasp they will have on what reality actually is if all this continues.

I saw it too! It really pissed me off. She kept making the point "how the bills needed to be paid and how he took the money". She also kept saying how SHE made the call to set up the accounts for the kids and how substantial the kids' accounts were. And why is that our business? Those kids are going to have a hard life (adjusting to real life) if they don't stop airing their crap on TV like they have been doing again.

Im with OC on this one. I was shocked that they were just going to change the name of the show and that Kate would agree. This should be time for her and her kids to heal and find a new way to go on in their lives. The kids don't need or deserve all this crap.

This should be time for her and her kids to heal and find a new way to go on in their lives. The kids don't need or deserve all this crap. I don't agree with what you said about being a time for her & the kids to heal. Yes, the kids need to heal from what has happened, but Kate is part of the problem and doesn't need to heal from anything. Let's not forget that for years Jon just wanted his normal life back, no show no cameras. It was obvious Kate had grown too accustomed to the freebies & fame to give it all up. I will say that by the way Jon's acting now, you would have never known he wanted to give up the attention, but I truly believe he did in the years leading up to this. He said it several times & even Kate said on camera more than once that he didn't want the show. Since Kate is seen on camera as the one who's always with the kids now, she's been transformed into the victim. Everyone degrades Jon for speaking out on shows, but don't seem to have a problem anymore with Kate doing it. What about all the times Kate left the kids to jet-set around the country doing appearances, book signings & talk shows? She chose fortune & fame over her kids, but everyone forgot about that. With all the appearances she's still making, it's obvious she still isn't spending quality time with them....unless it's on camera for their show. They both need to shut up. A judge needs to order a gag order on both of them. Personally I think (and I'm not just saying this because I'm a man) that Kate is the one who destroyed the marriage with her rude, disrespectful & controlling behavior, yet she is the one who's going to come out on top....both in the public's eye and financially.

I dislike Jon's behavior as immature and boorish. But years ago, I told the Spousal Unit that if she was in any way like Kate, there would have been no way we would ever have married. I detest that woman, and her manipulations are so d*mn transparent.
I really hope they just fade away SOON, and Kate moves next door to O***-Mom, so their kids can play together and share traumatic camera appearances.
