I think Jon was extra upset b/c star magazine had a pic of him with some local college girls at a bar and they claimed they kissed...so I think that is where the extra freak out came from on the last episode.

On the E specials on reality show, show producers for other shows have stirred the pot - exacerbating situations that would not normally blow over. It is a tough enough life to have two sets of multiples let alone adding celebrity to the equation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779469240342224432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-39678423271541896802009-03-25T22:16:00.000-04:002009-03-25T22:16:00.000-04:00Well, I watch on occasion, but I didn't see last n...Well, I watch on occasion, but I didn't see last night's episode.

(And I posted this on my blog last week). And it's just not the show's editing... if she treats him like crap on TV in front of millions, imagine how she treats him in private. And the big kicker is she is now on the "Christian women's tour circuit" which totally put me over the edge. Give me a break. My guess is it's Kate's way or the highway and they'll be back for another Season...with or without Jon, I'm sure because obviously he doesn't matter much. She's disgusting.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-39233825346138366612009-03-25T17:29:00.000-04:002009-03-25T17:29:00.000-04:00I watch Jon and Kate.

He rarely gets a word in before she is cutting him off or jumping down his throat- although she makes it seem like he is the one interrupting her. I'm definitely not a fan of hers, but I like Jon and think the kids are adorable (for the most part- except when they whine)!USCEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852040429325597281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-14611841755436468822009-03-25T14:15:00.000-04:002009-03-25T14:15:00.000-04:00It IS painful to watch her talk down to him that w...It IS painful to watch her talk down to him that way.

Imagine if you were home with your kids ALL DAY, EVERYDAY with 8 kids... And a camera crew was there 2-3 days a week. How many "bad" moments would they catch? I know in my house- with my one kid- there would be several. <BR/><BR/>And Jon married Kate knowing she was anal and controlling. He's always been pretty good about holding his own.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505420894898738638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-51948557031364323142009-03-25T12:56:00.000-04:002009-03-25T12:56:00.000-04:00You can so feel the tension between the two of the...You can so feel the tension between the two of them.

I always say (in my defense) "There was no time to be polite!" I know, that's weak, but I think sometimes the editing is to blame for the way Kate comes off. They want you to think Kate is a jerk because it makes for good TV right? I hope. Didn't John get a hair transplant? So maybe he's a little Hollywood too? I don't find the show offensive at all and I think that if they can make money for that family then more power to them. I don't see anything wrong with the way the kids are portrayed. That's just my 2 cents!Pretty Personal Giftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112985991226271647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-30983590947389766652009-03-24T22:47:00.000-04:002009-03-24T22:47:00.000-04:00I love the show, but Kate sure seems to have chang...I love the show, but Kate sure seems to have changed a lot. I don't think she is exploiting anyone, because we (the views) keep the show going. So hey, if I had a bunch of kids and people wanted to pay me to be on tv, sign me up! Last night made me sad.

I head that on Chelsey Lately on E, so it's probably just a rumor, but it wouldn't shock me. He's stressed. I do agree Kate sure does look different. Side note, I love her hair cut, and would copy it if my face was stick thin like hers. Regardless, I hope they have saved up enough and invested so they can continue to live the way they are accustomed if they stop filming.Mom of Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959773858868773303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751729176274698663.post-41462354247183778762009-03-24T21:41:00.000-04:002009-03-24T21:41:00.000-04:00I used to watch, but personally I think Kate is ex...I used to watch, but personally I think Kate is exploiting her children.

It'd be best for those kids if they could have a normal life, but it seems as though Kate is pretty insistent on this charade continuing.Miss Sweet Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804351920554985081noreply@blogger.com
