So…if you are like other millions of American’s, you tuned it to see the Jon & Kate plus 8 season finale!
The episode started out with Jon & Kate taking the troops to see the Harlem Globetrotters. The ‘Trotters’ pulled Cara up on stage with them and even passed out jerseys with the Gosselin 8 on the back! Cute!! The were also preparing to do an Oprah interview, via satellite. Kate went shopping to pick out new clothes for the Oprah interview – It’s amazing to me how much easier it is for Kate to shop, now that she has millions in the bank!!
The second half of the episode, Jon is away “helping his mother recover from breaking her foot” aka out at bars with young girls!! While Jon was away, Kate took the little kids to create canvas paintings for Jon (And to hang around the house). And then to a children’s museum.
At each commercial break, we keep getting these “teasers” of Jon whining about how he can’t “just go out an be Jon.”
Basically, Jon doesn’t want to do Season 5 – I guess it must suck to be able to give your kids anything they’ll ever want and everything they’ll ever need! It must be horrible to have a million dollar home and MILLIONS in the bank!!
I can see not wanting to do another season, honestly, but DON’T whine about “how you can’t be yourself”. How about worrying about the impact that being on TV every week for 20 million people is going to affect your children.
What did you think of the episode? I was a little irritated that they didn’t address any of the divorce rumors or Jon partying it up with random coeds!!

The tension between those two was so thick it permeated through the screen onto my couch. Kate seemed extremely irritated and I felt a little sorry for Jon as he tried to find a comfortable spot on the interview couch while sitting with his tail between his legs. Whining about not having privacy – what does he expect? Everyone knows who he is, he can’t be so naive to think he can go to a bar and get hammered without someone seeing you and blasting your picture all over the net. And Kate so determined to have “her way”, so insensitive to Jon’s feelings – but hey he put them in this situation with his somewhat bad judgement. The millions are too great – Kate will get her way and season 5. Hillarious the comment about how Kate has changed her taste in fashion since the beginning of the show – ya think? Now that she can venture out of the clothes section of Target and shop at designer boutiques. The clothes she was picking out the for the kids and herself anyone could tell were not cheap. But hey, how about spending some of that college fund cash on some decent design for the mansion – needs a little work.
It is obvious Kate is enjoying the money and business trips to promote her book. She may even be enjoying the fame. Hopefully they will save some of this money to put their kids in good schools and college. Maybe even set them up with trust funds since they are the reason she is on TV to begin with. But for John to be upset that he can’t be himself? Too bad. They chose this path to provide for the 8 children they chose to have. This reminds of the celebraties who complain about their privacy on public streets. They are taking full advantage of all the benefits of being a popular TV show, so John, please don’t complain about the pitfalls. Madelyn seems to complain during every photo shoot and every outing, and no one is listening to her.
hmmmm. I think now that he has money and bigger home he is looking to be able to just be Jon. Perhaps he should remember he signed on for this. They could still be in their other house and he could still work daily. The days were the help was not always anyone but them. I think Kate handled things well. This show has given them and their children many more opportunities than if they did not do the show.
Most people dont get to shop at gymboree all the time for their children and take them to amazing different places and do exceptional things. Jon had a few minutes without the fam and saw a different side of life. suck it up you have a family to be with.
I have watched this show since the beginning and i was very disappointed in the final show in jon …what ever happen to commitment…why the wedding????? and why are you not thankful for all God has blessed you with……have you looked at the poverty in this country !!!! shame on you jon
J
ust wanted to say what i thing about jon and kate .Ithink its time for them
Just want to say what I think About Jon and Kate , I think think they have ridden the Gravy train long enough. move over and let a family of 12 have a change to get a few day trips in . the new family of 12, that are filling in your spot need this more than the Gosselins ever did. they are just a regular hard working family with no extras , no fancy home, no nothing but the best holidays. This Family also has a special needs child. they all pitch in to help her, not whine because they have to do it on thier own .They don,t feel sorry for themselves like someone else does all the time.
to
No offense to anyone who posted comments but these are all women points of view. I agree with total opposite you are all saying. jsut wanted to say that….
Now that you’ve got the money you need to raise your family of 10 in a way most of us will never be able to do, get your act together, turn off the t.v. camera and pay attention to the needs of your family and your marriage. Jon, does your church condone hanging out in bars with singles while your wife is taking care of business? Grow up and do the right thing.
News flash Season 5 is coming back…..with a new name of course. The show is now going to be called the Kate and Hanna Show. Yes Kate seems to think she only has one child…better known as Hannie. She is the mature one ,,,yes mature,,the one thats stuck up Kates butt,,,real mature huh. She is the child that Kate wont cut her hair…the hair that looks like a horsetail…what she needs is a brush through that hair. Why doesnt Kate treat the others the way she treats Hanna. Alexis,Aaden,and Joel so need her….she doesnt have time for Alexis and seems to think boys are just dirty.OMG they are your kids whyyyyyy would you call them dirty just because they are boys,,,they cry if they get a speck of dirty on them because they know Kate will explode. Those kids will grow up and run with the wind…and never look back.Thats so sad ,,,,but Kate will have Hannieeeeee cause she wont leave her mothers backside. Those kids dont care about how big their house is they just want their parents and its sad thats the one thing they dont have. Kate didnt have life experiences as a child ,,damn is she making up for lost time ! But she forgot the kids along the way ..she wanted them to have life experiences….but Kate that doesnt mean being left home without you….the experiences are for all of you together. And that orange skin not sure where you bought it ,,,,but now your looking the color of rust,,,NOT CUTE. So put the microphone down go home and LEARN to play with you kids…and people stop paying to see this woman speak,,,she has 8 kids ,,that doesnt make her woman of the year and doesnt make her a speaker,,,,and if you stop going ,,,then she will HAVE to stay home with her kids..you know the one that would give up anything for them..HAHAHAHA. Kate go home ..and learn to play with your kids and learn how to speak nice to your husband ,,,or you just might need sit on that time out mat in the corner.
I feel so sorry for Jon. He is an adorable husband. He baths the kids by himself gets them ready for bed, tucks them into bed, gets them up and dressed in the morning by himself and brings Kate a coffee on the night table; he is her slave; he does everything, all she does is yell at him, slaps him during the interviews, belittles him, makes fun of him, blames him for everything that she thinks is wrong or went wrong and to top it off, she makes him apologize for the way she was a bitch. Also, she does not pay attention to the three boys. Jon is an angel for putting up with Kate all these years. It surprises me that the producer or the interviewer does not tell Kate to stop abusing her husband. Many women would love to have a husband like Jon. I wish him well, as for Kate, she is just interested in herself, her kids especially the girls and becoming famous and tries to convince us she is doing it just for the kids. Kate is so bossy she even tells her viewers to stop making typing mistakes when they write. 20 of us are sick of the woman’s nagging at John all the time, and treating even the dogs better than him. she wanted the dogs and now that she has them blames Jon, in fact she blames him for everything.
He is the better parent. The kids adore him
Look it is not learning from Kate and Jon. It is a peek into their live and that it is not easy to parent that many children with all the people around. People like the show Jon needs to suck it up
Does anyone besides me think this might be a ploy and a way of getting more money. I ,too, think they should be thinking more of the children. If Jon thinks this is hard on him, just wait till the kids can’t move without a camera taking pictures of them dating, or even getting into the usual trouble kids get into. If Jon is hurt and can’t have a live, just think of those kids in a couple of years. Living in TV land takes away “normal” stuff. Get use to it. It may taste bad, but swollow it and move off TV. I know I’ve seen enough of the fairy tale life they now live. Can’t take Kate being a queen, and treating Jon like you handy man. Heck the handy man gets treated better than Jon. My mistake. I think they lost what is real living for the games, fun, and money of the greedy. Very sad. PLEASE, PLEASE, NO SEASON 5. PLEASE!!!!
You both need to think about what’s best for your children. Don’t just think of
yourself but what you can do for your children.They do not have choice’s like you.
Try to work things out but do not put the children in the middle.
Maybe time away from one another would help. Remember you had these kids now it’s time to take care of all .

DO not judge people that you do not know everything about. I don’t believe half the stuff the media shows about people. It is all hipe and it even got the French Queen beheaded back in the day. Don’t be jealous that Kate and Jon found a way to REALLY provide for thier kids. Like it says, it is thier life. If they want to share it fine, but don’t judge, if you don’t like them, then stop watching them.
I think Jon should be able to stop doing the show if he wants and Kate should realize its making it hard on him. No pity since he signed on to it as well but at least have the heart to not do anymore shows if your husband asks. Let your kids enjoy all that money now and live without the camera and constant people in their lives.
Oh my…season 5 premiere…what a sad show…You have two parents/adults hurting so much they cannot find their way back to each other.
We can all pick apart what we see on the show. I know there is more to it that is private and frankly none of our business.
Privacy, privacy that is what they need right now.
They were so uncomfortable on that couch being together.
I know the pain and sadness I felt I cannot fathom yours…
Jon and Kate remember your vows and the deep love and respect you really have for each other in which you have created these miracles of life.
I offer my blessings for your peace, faith and to renew your love.
You guys are so worth it.
The house, the car and the other stuff are nothing compared to the wonderful family values you have “reincarnated” for all of us to either remember from “the old days” or be introduced to.
Life is not perfect and we have to forgive.
Please find you way back to each other. You are such role models, no matter the situation.
I have been married 31 years. My first child was born with multiple birth defects. We had 2 more children. Our oldest had another surgery to finally restore his hearing . He was 28 when he finally could hear. What a miracle and a gift from God.
Did it stress our relationship.? Yes, this type A “Kate” mother and woman still gets herself in trouble for jumping to the worse thought. My husband is like John. He sees the best in me. Keeps me calm, well he tries, and is my rock.
Our marriage has been streched, strained, challenged, we hurt, feel left out, and at times had doubt of our faith and love for one another.
I could not be more in love with this wonderful man after 31 years, three children and his 91 yr. old mother residing the last 20 years with us.
I love and adore this man.
Right now…
Marriage..the hardest job/vocation you will have in your life.
Marriage..the most glorious, exciting, learned,sensitive , loving, contenting and blessed relationship I could ever hope for.
Obviously you are both people who have had wonderful opportunities and some you have grabbed the brass ring and some not.
No matter who is the traveler, public speaker, nuturer, or the heavy PLEASE always remember how much love you have for your children and how you got to this place together.
There is no fault here. You both have matured after quite a big shock.
Sometimes we travel to the wrong place and to the right place.
It will be difficult to put the anger, distrust and unhappiness away.
This is hoping you find your way back to each other. Things will be different and things will change.
God intended for you to live this life he gave you. How you live it is your choice.
I will pray for strength for both of you. You deserve it.
Jon was absolutely correct tonight.
All of this is between Jon and Kate and they will be the ones to decide their future.
My children are grown and we have an empty nest.
Watching your glorious family makes us smile and recall moments that were
tense, wonderful, challenging, stressful and the heart warming ones still warm our hearts…
We also had a family dinner every night together. No matter what time the last child came home from practices or lessons…we waited and had dinner together. Those are memories we cherish.
Jon and Kate,
As your show begins you say ” It is our life” You bet it is.
We thank you for inviting us a guest to your life.
Be proud of who you are and who your children are. You have shown us class and love in so many ways.
You warm my heart and soul and I was so very sad to see the two of you so uncomfortable around each other…I am truly sorry.
We should not know the details…
Make your decisions for you and for your family.
Who cares what we think! It is your life and your children’s life and you must make your decisions based on that.
The season 5 premiere is on again…Tears come easily now..That darn soundtrack..
Remember…miracles happen..you have eight beautiful miracles from God.
I wish you much faith…peace…and much love…
God bless you…
I am so sick of everyone feeling bad for Kate. I have watched this show from the beginning when it truly was a show about living with 8 small children and the trials of what that is like. It has now become disgusting to watch. Yes, Jon and Kate both signed up for the show and I’m sure it was about the money from the start. After watching the most recent episodes of their trips and special accommodations and freebies they get I think that there are more deserving families that are truly struggling. How about Kate give 3/4 of their money to other families that have multiplies that DO NOT HAVE A TV SHOW!
Watching how Kate treats Jon and has always said in every epiosode how “my children deserve this or that”…..what and my children don’t desereve guided tours around Disney World or ski trips or free stuff? The only way she got her new house is by exploiting her children on TV and she has the nerve to say the her kids deserve that house???? It is very irriting to watch her look around and get upset when the paparazzi are following them as she says “why are they here” go follow another family. Well, yeah no kidding why do you think they are following you…..you really should not be famous but when you exploit your family and your marriage for money that may bring out the cameras.
Watching Kate on tonight’s episode is just a joke……are we supposed to feel bad for her? If she really values her family and Jon she will quit the show go into hiding and work on her family!
I have no desire to continue to watch this show any longer….
I really feel Kate has lost site of why they did the show in the first place, and its no wonder-we watch it. The family gets loads of freebies, trips, etc. There are tons of deserving families who don’t make a TV show and who are not benefitting from book sales and speaking engagements that deserve this and more. I feel sorry for Jon as she sat on that sofa belittling him, what will the children think when they are older and watch the reruns. Kate speaks of her family deserving all of things, what does no one else deserve things. She comes across very uncaring of others. If it was not for the many fans that tuned in week after week, season after season to watch this family, she would not be in the postion she is in now. She should be more gracious and less critical, do what really matters and take care of ALL her children.
This is a reply to Mary. “Get Real!” You’re empty nesters so you are bored! AMERICA, listen up! STOP WATCHING THIS SHOW! Do NOT buy products advertised during commercial breaks. Do NOT buy any books written by Kate! Honestly, what “real” married couple approves of one spouse berating the other? Other countries watch this show & think this is “typical behavior” of a typical American married couple & family. Well, it is NOT! At least, not at my house. We treat each other with respect. Our children are disciplined jointly WITHOUT spanking. Our 3 remaining children are teenagers & are Honor Roll students. The other 2 are grown with children of their own & have successful careers. They do not use physical force to discipline our grandchildren either. Someone said it all, “Everyone needs to move on from this show. They have so much money & for what? Having eight kids & making a TV show out of her life? WOW how interesting! MOVE ON! Lets get good TV shows back! Not Reality.” I second that, Anonymous! This “reality” show is a farce & a fake! It’s not nice to fool the public! Did anybody catch Kate’s comment to Emeril when he was cooking? “This is our 100th episode.” For the 100th episode of their hit TLC show, Jon and Kate Gosselin welcomed celeb chef Emeril Lagasse into their Wernersville, Pa., kitchen, which Kate dubbed “an unsightly mess.” What? Her DOG Jon didn’t have everything spotless for her when she returned from another one of her book tours? What’s a girl to do if her husband doesn’t be a father AND mother because the Momzilla is on tour?
Emeril asked Kate if Jon was good in the kitchen. Without even blinking an eye Kate replied, “NOT SO MUCH.” Who feeds the kids when Kate is gone all the time? JON DOES! Did anybody hear Kate’s sarcastic remark to Jon, “Jon, do you know WHERE the oven is?” “Let me point to it!” Jon quickly replied. But Kate still managed to get her say and she slapped Emeril with a cooking utensil which she said was better to use for scraping food out of a bowl. “I did slap Emeril,” Kate later admitted. “Then I went, ‘Oh, sorry!’” When Emeril was in the kitchen – and we’ve all seen Kate tell the camera crew they were NOT allowed into HER territory – Jon warned Emeril, “That’s Kate’s territory.” Emeril didn’t care. He took control by going into Kate’s “territory,” then pushed her out of his way and did his thing. I guess Emeril told her! When she started to berate Jon, Emeril stopped her. Hummm… Jon needs to take lessons from Emeril!
We all knew Kate was a slapper – she slapped a guest, Emeril, and now one of her children … and it is all on tape! Jon can use this in Court if he divorces her!
America, time fo MOVE ON from this show. NO MORE Jon and Kate Plus 8!
