Maybe he wants to live in NY because that's where the plastic surgeon's family lives. Hasn't he been photographed with the daughter?

Usually children of interracial couples look cute, yet their kids are all kinds of fugly.

It's geographically close to where the kids are (like a 3-4 hour car ride) and there are many more opportunities for him here. He will also not be stalked the same way he is in a rural area, since there are so many other people the paparazzi can run after. I think it's a very well planned move. |

He sucks. BEing a wannabe frat boy will get old real quick, and I think he will regret this whole thing. Ya Kate's bitchy-but he picked her and had 8
friggin kids with her. Why not try to work it out instead of going on a binge drinking joint smoking escapade?

The custody battle will last two minutes, but the fight over the show, merchandising, and everything else financial will last until the kids are 18, or longer.

I don't think the whole mess began with the cheating-that's where it ended though. The mess began with Kate's constant nagging & berating. I
agree that living above the garage (not unlike Gomer Pyle) would not be healthy for anyone except maybe Kate-she could still have her whipping boy.

Instead of being a wimp he should have stood up to the nagging, not bailed 10 years later.

Kate has been a shrew, and has been unforgivably terrible towards Jon at times. However, I empathize with her plight. She is a staunch woman and has been the
dominate one in her marriage. Jon was an overly lax loser and he depended on her for structure. That isn't her fault. Yes she was overly bitchy, but look
at the load she was carrying. It did not enhance her already blistery personality. I have noticed her try to soften since things started going downhill.
Everyone wanted Jon to stand up for himself since Kate did treat him and the children badly at times. He is using that feedback from the public as an excuse for his behavior now. He is trying to claim he's standing up for himself. Affairs, drunken behavior, being drunk/high at the house, barhopping, diamond studs/douchie clothing, new cars, trips with the mistress, lying to his kids about his whereabouts ("daddy has to work") is not standing up for yourself. It would have been one thing if he grew a pair and drew a line in a way that was positive and proactive for him and his family. He just gave up on being a good father and a good person in order to "live it up". He obviously has substance abuse and emotional problems and the entire family is suffering. He will regret his actions. It is so sad that this show was done, in part, "to collect memories for the kids" and it now will just be a documentary of the destruction of their family. eta. I will be happy when the divorce is over so I can go back to hating Kate again. Damn Jon for making me Team Kate. DAMN HIM TO HELL.

Maybe it's because I grew up with divorced parents and turned out okay, but I just can't blame him for wanting out. These people have not been happy
together for a very long time. The divorce will probably do them both good. So I don't hate on him for that. But the way he appears to be dealing with the
kids, I have problems with. Move an hour away if you need your space, but an apartment in NYC feels like throwing in the towel to me. You know it's going
to be one of those situations where he'll visit every weekend for a couple months, then every other weekend, then once a month... No matter how it's
spun, I just can't see this as being the action of a parent with joint custody. My dad lived 4 hours away from me growing up, and I guarantee you, I
didn't think of him as a full-time parent.

I absolutely love the posters here who seem to be privy to Jon's most intimate thoughts, intentions, and can see into the future to know what he will do.
You can't judge a person by what they might do, but by what they have done -- and he comes up very short there. Kate may be a bitch, but I think kids do
this to some women, and the camera crews probably upped the ante. Yeah, she got what she wanted, but come on, why does he get his 20s back but she doesn't?
That seems to be how some of you think -- that he has to do this because Kate is so blah blah blah -- you'd be losing your minds if she left him to move to
NYC and stuck him with those kids so she could "find herself."

'Jon & Kate Plus 8' goes on production hiatus
07:32 AM PT, Jun 23 2009
Jon & Kate are taking a break! TLC's hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is taking a production break after the couple said on Monday night's show that they were separating. The show, which follows the lives of Jon and Kate Gosselin and their brood, has become a pop culture sensation, getting TLC its best ratings ever and providing the tabloids with a steady diet of gossip. The couple have been on more than 40 magazine covers over the last two months including seven in a row on US Magazine. TLC said next Monday would be a clip package with some new footage, but that the next all-new episode would be on Aug. 3. People close to the show say the desire to take a production break came from the network. So far, six new episodes of the show's 40-episode order have aired. The premiere episode drew almost 10 million viewers and the show is still doing better than it had in its previous four seasons. It has also boosted the ratings of TLC's new show "Cake Boss." Because of all the turmoil in the Gosselin's marriage, TLC does not have enough footage to put together new episodes right now as its production schedule had become very last minute. Episodes this season were often completed as late as the day of airing. -- Joe Flint |

Dates for Kate | ||

How sad that the network had to put the show on hiatus - neither Jon nor Kate could have the foresight to see that would be the best option for their
family.
I've decided that I like it best when Kate is being bitchy to her man, rather than being SaintKate. So I've decided to start picking out men for her to consider dating. First one that comes to mind is David Foster. Pros:
Cons:

I have watched this show since the beginning and because of this, I like Jon. Sure, his actions may not be the most sound now but she has been such a mean
shrew. She belittled him, she argued with him over anything that did not go her way, she berated him in public, and she used to slap him. It used to be
playful but she just kept getting meaner, more demanding and then she stopped letting him talk during the interviews. If you know he is not much of
communicator, why would you make yourself so unapproachable to talk to? She makes it sound like she wanted to talk about this but I don't believe her for
one second. She wanted him to listen to what she had to say. How can someone who is not communicative argue against someone so verbally strong and forceful?
As for her, "I don't want to do this alone" spiel, what a bunch of bull. Even when you were married to him, you always complained how you did it all alone and his contributions were nothing but creating more work for you. I feel she still throws him under the bus all the time, as if the divorce were his fault for not wanting to communicate. Even when they did that episode about the embarrassing moments, she could not recognize her own faults, it was still Jon's fault. Everything is always someone else's fault. I still maintain that if she were the man and he were the woman, everyone would be yelling about spousal abuse. He can smoke a joint, wear age inappropriate clothes, and sleep with young women and I will still like him better than her. No one besides people on this board like her. Her neighbors, her family, anyone who has had to work for her in any capacity. Wait, two people, the hairy dude from the motorcycles and her bodyguard. |

It's about time TLC took ownership of this train wreck and put the show on hiatus. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of the tabloid frenzy
Jon and Kate have created.

Tiger and Mist, I totally agree with you.
So does anyone know how the show did last night in the ratings? My guess would be around 6 million. |
