Last night’s finale of the hit TLC reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ was pretty much a snore–aside from the last few minutes. Commercial teasers for the finale made it seem like we’d eventually witness a blowout between the Gosselin couple culminating in a possible marital separation or at the very least, some kind of admission of marital problems. But that never came. Instead we see Kate take all of the kids out alone to create paintings for their new house and a visit to a children’s museum. Apparently, Jon went away for 8 days to “be with his mom who broke her foot to help her around the house” (cough, cough, yeah right).
We also saw (an extremely red-faced) Jon whine that, “When I go out, I can’t be Jon. I have to be ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8.’” I translated that to, “When I go out, I can’t cheat on my wife without the media exposing it”–but that’s just me.
As you may remember, I posted earlier this month on Star Magazine’s report that Jon has been seen around town–crashing college parties and hitting up bars–and making out with women who aren’t his wife. The response to that post was overwhelming. Although some readers had issues with me covering a story that was reporting in a tabloid, others claiming to live near the Gosselins, verified claims that Jon has been out and about and seen with other women. Supposedly this has been happening for a while now and had the town abuzz before Star published its expose.
In the finale, the couple goes on to tell us that Jon’s been having a “frustrating” time lately–he isn’t happy with the lack of privacy he now has– and has been struggling with fame, yet Kate loves doing the show and being able to stay home with the kids all day. After this confession, we’re left hanging as to whether the show will continue for a fifth season.
What do you think? Do you want to see another season?

I don’t agree it is “publicity” for season 5, Jon is usually real. There will be a season 5 I bet. What Kate wants, Kate gets.

They need to give it up and just do “specials” every once in a while. The show is getting really boring, now that the kids are older. Many of the shows were more devouted to Jon & Kate and their speceal spa days and outings, and not on the kids. Jon should not sit and whine. He wanted this from the beginning in order to make money off the fact that they had multiples. You can’t hope for it and then complain about it after the fact. Grow up and deal with it Jon….and please get some serious counseling for yourself and Kate, she needs to learn to think before she speaks.
posted March 24, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Jon said when he went out he couldn’t be “jon” but had to be Jon & Kate plus eight. Uh, yeah Jon that would be at least Jon & Kate, remember you’re married and you’re not a newlywed. Now’s not the time to be second guessing yourself.

They have far outlived their “15 minutes” of fame. It’s truly sad to see these folks continually pimping out their children just so they don’t have to work. The children are earning their living for them. Truly sad. I have not watched this show in months and think it’s time for this show to be canned.
posted March 24, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I hope there is not another season cleary it is taking a toll on them and for Kate not to see it and only see dollar signs.
I think this family has been “blessed” with way too much!

I hope Jon isn’t fooling around.
Kate has become so full of herself and acts so nasty toward Jon, but I hope they can work things out. I agree that they should cut down to a few specials a year.Kate needs to limit the book tours. Perhaps they need to get real jobs soon!

Have you seen the way she treats that man!!! HELLO!!! He’s not one of the kids, however she seems to think so. Any guy would get over that quick. Watch The Soup on E! some day. On occassion Joel Mchale will show one of their clips and she treats him like crap in every one of them… I didn’t notice it until they made light of it on The Soup, cause I was to busy thinking how cute the show was and the kids… blah blah blah… She needs to lay off and let him feel like a man and not put him down, before some other hottie comes along and makes him feel just right… and his name changes to JON minus 9!!!
posted March 24, 2009 at 2:55 pm
There is a time for everything. Then there comes a time that enough is enough. Enough already! Jon and Kate have become predictable and Kate’s droning wears us out. Imagine what it does to Jon and the children. We have a failing economy, a war in Iraq and people that are struggling in the real world. Let’s see a family that can profit from a reality television and a show that brings some better good and drowns out the sniveling and droning Kate seems to demonstrate on a weekly basis. The woman drives me batty with her constant correcting of Jon’s faux paux’s… ENOUGH! Raise your children in peace and get off of Jon’s back

It is time for this charade come to an end. I have been a fan from the start, but things certainly have changed and not for the better. Kate has always been overbearing but back in the beginning I understood that she would have to be, to truly organize this family. So when she would call Jon out in public I didn’t think much of it, just a young couple with a hugh family trying to figure it all out. In those days Kate would wear the same shorts on many episodes. She hated to shop and spend money on herself…many Mom’s could relate to that. Now her hair and make up are done at all times. She wears heels to go to a kids meuseum, get real. Last night did I hear her say “my store” “I love to shop.” Truly things have changed and I’m sure it is the money has gone to her head. The money that could cost her, her marrige and family. Jon whining about not being able to be “just Jon” he made that bed when he decided to sell out his kids lives to the highest bidder. We are suppose to believe that Jon went to stay with his mother for 8 days because she has a broken foot, I think that was mentioned three times last night. I guess they and TLC truly think we are idiots. They have told us since the start that Jon’s Mom is not involved with them. We have seen birthday parties and Christmas’ where the kids open gifts from strangers and never Jon’s mother. Yeah, I think because of reports that he was goofing off with co-eds near his Mom that he was there, but because he and Kate are separated. I’m sure his Mom opened her arms wide when she heard that. They can cancel this show now, because in my mind it is over already.
posted March 24, 2009 at 3:59 pm
I, too, had been watching how cute the show is…but after a while, even I was tired of hearing Kate talk to Jon the way she does! It’s unfortunate that he needs to seek out positive affirmation from other women…it should be coming from his wife. I still like the show and want to see more…watching these kids grow up has been fun!
posted March 24, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Jon&KatePlus8 is one of my favorite reality shows. Whatever is going on with their marriage, I pray they will be able to work it out.Child-support would be devasating in this situation. In earlier episodes of the show the family all went to Church together. I pray that their faith in God can sustain the family.
posted March 24, 2009 at 4:33 pm
After seeing last nights show it is very clear,as far as Kate is concerned it’s ALL about the MONEY and herself. They DON’T have a nanny,housekeeper, cook…..etc. ya right. She has become very greedy.
posted March 24, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I enjoy the show, the kids are adorable and funny, but I do think its inevitable that this kind of fame is always going to make problems. Things CANT stay the same as they were to begin with. The bottom line is that marriage and family are more important than fame and fortune, and I just hope they figure that out before it’s too late. By the vibe of the final interview last night, I got the sense that Jon is over it, and Kate doesn’t really care what he thinks. Two seconds after he says he’s frustrated and maybe we’ll be back, maybe we won’t, she responds with “I love how everything’s going”. I’m not a typical Kate basher like so many out there, but that to me was a little insensitive. She should put her family’s wants and needs first. Period. I thought she was a Christian. That’s like Christianity 101.

I too have enjoyed the show in the past. But, lately it is really boring and all about Kate. I am sooooo tired of her b*tchin’ and moaning. And Mady, she is just as bad as Kate. She has EVERYTHING! The least she could do is be kind to her husband once and awhile.

I do not think Jon would cheat on Kate. Kate always slaps him.

Jon & Kate plus 8 is not over. Season 5 starts this May. I think Jon just needs some time for himself. I’m actually kinda shock that he would be the one “frustrated.” I thought all along that hes an “extrovert” and that he enjoys having all the people around his house. I’m hoping that things will work out for them because I really love watching the show.
posted March 24, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I would like to speak for Kate’s side of this story. Jon knows clearly that Kate is really enjoying and thriving on the show. Yet, he seems to be concerned only with himself. The comment about not being “Jon” separate from the family says it all. Not sure that he knows that when you have a family you are single no longer.
posted March 24, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I think the program has done a trip on us viewers. It bonded us to a dear family, who seemed to be “doing it together.” We rooted for them and grew to care for all of them.
Now the head of the family says he wants his privacy and individualism. Kate has become more and more of a tyrant and self-absorbed brat. The couple seems to have contempt for one another at this stage (eye rolling, digs, scolds, close-out body language.)
That’s a fatal sign. The children will get mangled in this. Since I care for them, I’d sooner see this show go off the air, Dr. Phil take them to his house, and they get some triage. Our entertainment is not worth tearing this family asunder!

I’m so glad I waited until the finale to comment. I truly love the show & understand if J&K plus 8 may not return.
However, when reality shows began they were truly unreal and boring. Give me a break, who wants to sit and watch some ding-bat blonde that doesn’t know the difference between tuna and chicken.
Jon & Kate plus is truly real and as a grandmother I enjoy seeing the kids grow up. Cara, her compasion; Leah, her many smiles; Alexis, her determination; Hannah, the little mother; Collin, lovable and the little daddy; Joel,you never know; Aaden, cuddly but serious; and Mady, very dramatic but will go places.
I wish Jon & Kate plus the very best of luck. If they do not return for complete seasons, I hope they would consider an annual update episode for the fans that love them (and also for those who don’t but still watch them anyway, ha).
Jon and Kate complement each other and are true sole mates. Just review the black and white phote series and you can see the love that exists between the two. I know there is editing of the series, however, I have seen between the lines and they have their own way of expressing their love of each other without making it a public display.
Good Luck to Joh and Kate plus 8 and I wish you the best and hope to see y’all again.

After watching the finale of season 4 last night, I too was a little surprised. I don’t think that the story of Jon going to help his mother out was false. I admired the fact that they have hired someone to help with the house/kids & was glad to hear the the name would be private. It should be. I was surprised to hear that Jon said he felt like he needed some time for “Jon”. He should be extremely happy that there is even a show about Jon & Kate plus 8. Who would know him otherwise? I’ve watching Kate change her fasion which is a good thing. All women do that. I would really like to see Season 5 happen so that we could learn about the kids growing up. We have all seen them as babies, toddlers & now they are young children.
Hope they come back.
posted March 24, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Who cares if Jon or Kate is happy? They have eight kids! They don’t GET to make decisions based on what makes them happy. They have to make decisions on what is BEST for their children. Remember them? The reason they got this show in the first place?
The show sickens me. Kate sickens me. I hope Jon is cheating on her, she deserves it. If I even talked to my husband ONCE the way she speaks to him on a daily basis, we’d probably be in marriage counseling.

“I enjoy seeing the kids grow up”
This is a selfish perspective. The Gosselin children are not circus animals to be viewed endlessly by the public. There is a tradeoff to everything and these children are paying the price for the income their parents now have…which is the loss of a normal childhood. Anyone who thinks this lifestyle may not have negative consequences is either extremly naive or incredibly selfish. I hope this show ends for the kids sake.
posted March 25, 2009 at 10:10 am
Well, well, well! So Jon is a human being after all, with all the foiables that go along with the species. Nobody and I do mean NOBODY, is as good as those two come off as being. Glad to see there are storm clouds over Camelot. Makes me think they’re just like the rest of us, even if we only have 2 kids, and are having to make it on our own without the help of deep-pocketed sponsers!
posted March 25, 2009 at 11:11 am
PLEASE! They probably have themselves so far in debt with the new home, the condo in Utah, the new SUV we saw in the garage on the first episode in the new house, the new fridge she had to buy after scrubbing the “moldy” one, etc. that they can’t stop now if they wanted to. I think they will ride this gravy train as long as they can. I’m sure they get a lot of $$ for doing the show, but even if we assume the properties are paid for, how will they maintain them and pay taxes and insurance and raise eight kids without continuing with the show? In my opinion they would have been better off with him working for the state, her being a nurse and living like normal people with some privacy. The kids will never have a normal life now. If all this fame is hindering their marriage and (Jon’s?) spiritual walk, then what was it worth? What would a man give in exchange for his soul?

Stop the show. It is horrible to watch how Kate belittles her husband every episode. I would hate for young kids to think she is a role model for stay at home future moms.

Regardless of what really occured, Kate’s behavior is increasingly out-of-control, limelight-hogging & diva-ish. Jon seems fed-up with the whole thing. The richer & more famous they become, the more miserable they appear! This gravy train is quickly becoming a train wreck.
It’s disgraceful how TLC manipulated their rumored marital troubles in a blatant attempt to boost ratings. Do they even care about how this could affect the children? I definitely expect a push for Season 5, especially if Jon splits. A broken family draws in more viewers. Sad, but true.

I like Jon & Kate & 8, but they both must know that with popularity comes recognization and you can’t have it both ways. I would like the show to continue, but admit once the “tups” go all day to school, it will be hard to do. Kate better make the best of it now for it will end on it’s own and maybe end up to be a yearly “special” to see how everyone is doing. Kate, keep up the nursing skills and Jon, maybe you ought to keep up your IT skills.

On March 11, Emeril flew to PA to shoot 100th episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. He made chili mac and cheese, baked salmon w/lentils and brought organic brownies. I guess they answered their own question to do Season 5 before Season 4 finale even aired.

Kate needs to relax. It took me years to learn. I always thought I was the super mom and wife. Everything had to be perfect and my way, house, children, myself my husband. This doesn’t work. No one is happy. Initially I really enjoyed watching the program, but as celebrity seems to have gone to Kate’s head I’m uncomfortable watching it. She’s isn’t a very pleasant person and acts like a Diva. It seems that she has alienated certain friends, family over the course of time. Again I say, relax Kate and enjoy your children and appreciate your husband. Does it really matter if everything is in it’s place all the time? Granted, having money is great and heaven you need it to raise eight kids. But it isn’t everything. Friends and family are important too.
posted March 25, 2009 at 6:34 pm
I think it’s time for them to get a life,instead of showing off everything that they get to do,everywhere they go for free.Of course Kate would love to continue the show she doesn’t have to work to support the kids.There are other family’s with way more kids than her and those kids don’t get to go on free vacations.Nor do they get free clothes,toys,food,etc.Thier parents are lucky to make ends meet.So I say get rid of the show.and support your kids like the rest of us.

Have only watched a few episodes of the show, and really don’t enjoy the “interaction” of Kate with Jon. Personally, I don’t see any reason to continue the show…but if they like getting the big bucks for having their life exposed to the world etc., who knows, maybe the producers will go for another year. Wonder how they’d be making ends meet if it wasn’t for the show? No big house etc. as mentioned above.

I too, love the show and can’t get enough. I love the kids and those cute dogs. I don’t like the way Kate seems to berate Jon, but that seems to have gotten better. I think she got the message. But, my BIG question is this: did they not think about all the help they need? Remember friend Beth and her daughter? Rememer the lady who folded all the laundry for Kate? Remember Aunt Jodi (she was so lovely to watch and beautiful in my opinion)? How could Jon and Kate not have thought about moving so far that this help was all lost? Did anyone else think this too?
posted March 26, 2009 at 4:33 am
kate hasn’t befriended jodi or beth in awhile, so she doesn’t care. they never did things her way. i’ve stopped watching too, just wanted to see what was going to happened to them. i think she should have a bit of a reality check and see how the other half lives. to much about her.

There are marital difficulties with Jon & Kate. She constantly treats him like the 9th child, shows no respect towards him, gives him no credit for his work, but is always seeking out kudos for her efforts, and his reward for the show : she demeans him on national tv weekly.
When one spouse wants to continue the show and the other does not wish to do so, that is a marital conflict.
Maybe Kate and Jon should downplay the kid focus and spin off another show: “Jon & Hate go to Marriage Therapy.” There is certainly enough video to review her interactions with Jon.
I reviewed the last 10 minutes of the Finale and you can see Kate trying to manipulate Jon into another season. She says how she has the best job ever (hint: Jon if you stop this show, you will NEVER hear the end of it!) and she proclaims that they can never go back from their celebrity status (Sure you can! Move to a 500 acre farm and enjoy your family).
Good luck getting out of the show Jon. It sounds like you have a choice between doing the show or putting your foot down and she will divorce you or at least make you obsolete (like her parents, Aunt Jodi and other friends that don’t agree with her and she moves away from!).
The last few shows suggest a new format. Kate is taking all the kids to shows or museums alone and on gets to absent himself or take on of the kids on a trip. I think that was Kate and TLC concession to Jon and her trying to prove that she can do it all herself without him!!
posted March 27, 2009 at 8:24 am
I do not agree with an earlier comment that Kate is nicer to Jon than before. On the contrary, I think it is much worse. I think that Jon is not very happy staying home all the time, especially since Kate gets to travel doing her speaking arrangements. I also think it is time that they focus on their family, and not the tv show. It has ruined other reality tv stars lives. It is hard to live like that all the time.
posted March 27, 2009 at 3:55 pm
I thik- that they were much happier when there life was simple, less complicated now that they have more things, it seems they are loosing focus on whats really important there family, kate is losing focus and getting more and more materialistic, she needs to put herself in jons place and ask herself how would she feel if someone treated her the way she treats jon, there are anger issues, they need therapy or dr. phil.

I agree with an earlier show – with more than 50% of marriages (even among Christians) ending in divorce perhaps a Series about Jon and Kate WORKING to attain a mutually advantagous relationship would be great…maybe more along the lines of say SuperNanny or Nanny 911. Start with their own marriage and then work (through the word of GOD) to mend other marriages. You would send a clip of YOUR disfunctional marriage and the producers and J&K’s pastor will work to mend your broken heart through the healing of CHRIST! I like it…are ya listening Kate – Sounds great!

I think it’s tacky and irresponsible for a website that supports religion to also promote gossip. I see no direct quotes from the family or anyone in this article, but it’s heavy on innuendo and opinion, neither of which are positive. I would suggest the author of this article to do some reading about Gods 9th commandment which covers “bearing false witness against thy neighbor”….and it’s not talking about the residents of PA.

It didn’t appear to be a cliff hanger to me. The Gosselins already stated (during an appearance on the Oprah show, and during a speaking engagement) that they have signed on for a 5th season.
And, a season could be anything. Of the 4 seasons.. the number of episodes have ranged from 8-42 episodes. This leaves a lot of room for the Gosselins (and production company) to tweak the show and shooting schedule.
The PR machine did a great job driving interest in the show, and they got huge numbers for that last episode. If you fell for it, and you enjoyed the episode… great.
But for the rest of us… we just need to remind ourselves… this is a reality show, emphasis on show.

What Ithought was very sad was in the last show, where Kate was showing Jon and us (the audience) the pictures the kids made (for Jon) that Kate was going to display in the house. she did one herself of three flowers and a blue background. When she showed that one, Jon spoke up and said he liked it. Kate rolled her eyes and made a face, and without hearing what Jon said next is sad…..He kind of mumbled to her that he liked it because she did it. Bless his heart. That is love guys, and too bad she didn’t catch it. Melted my heart. Did anyone else notice that? Also, I didn’t catch anywhere that Kate had a rift with Jodi and Beth. What happened? Beth is the one who co-wrote the book with Kate. Anyway, Jon…if I was 15 years younger…..you are a sweetheart.
posted April 7, 2009 at 8:57 pm
I think everyone can have their own opinions on the show, whether they be good or bad, but the obvious thing is that Kate is not especially “kind: to her husband. That’s something she tell her kids to be to each other throughout the show. She is always talking down to him, correcting his thinking, his speaking etc…She has become more materialistic. You can tell by the way she dresses, tans, does her make up. What happened to the REAL Kate Gosselin? In earlier episode she was much more humble, and much more respectful of her husband. I don’t blame him for wanting to stop filming. Imagine what people must say to him on the streets regarding his wife and the way she demeans him. I feel for him. He seems like a wonderful, down to earth, realistic, “kind” person! And a fabulous father! I commend him for putting up with all that he does!

Yes, this is ALL staged for the show to get ratings!!! It is sooo obvious! When I saw Kate on the morning talk show the other day I could tell she was just making crap up to answer the “cheating questions”. She does not act like a woman at all who has been cheated on and I can definately tell she is lying. This is all a scam to make their show even more popular and sell even more of her books and make as much $$$$ as posible. I dont blame them one bit! They have 8 kids to support and this is very smart of them!!!
posted May 10, 2009 at 2:15 pm
You read the title. So, let me say this. I want to see more of the kids because the show has shifted to show more of Kate, and when it does we usually she her berating Jon as if she extends the Mommy role in a twisted way. Too often we she her verbally abusing Jon as if she is the pissed-off Mom of a very bad overgrown boy. I truly feel sorry for him.
I don’t think he cheated; I think his heart, soul, and personal principles are better than such an act. Kate is too uptight and Jon is still a young man, but seemingly Kate will not allow him to behave youthful and to have fun or even relax. I can’t believe that Kate can watch the TV show clips of herself berating Jon and not change; this reality is unfortunate.
I would also like to remind people that the show could be causing people to invade Jon’s privacy, which he obviously doesn’t enjoy as much as Kate. If that happens too much you too would say to yourself, I am more than Jon & Kate. I think when he is out and about he doesn’t want to be bored and intruded upon by the same comments, questions, and attention to the point that he can’t enjoy himself or have the experiences he intended for himself. Surely he has the right to want to live he life as he wants in public. I think people read into his comment without having the knowledge or right to do so.
I love to watch the kids and I still like the show. We all like to watch a whole bunch of kids being themselves wherever we see it not just on TV and not just Jon & Kate’s kids. I wish Kate and all of them the best.

If there is any mercy TLC will not continue with this woman and her children. Its been clear Jon thinks it is too much. Kate is greedy self centered and robbing her children blind. And what is with all the freebies. making 2 + million dollars a year they can afford things for thier family. But Kate isn’t interested in the family only what it can make her in money.
She knew the odds of mulitple. come on peeps this is a nurse. Why feel sorry for her. And lets remeber this is the woman that asked her husband to sto p breathing because it was bothering her.
Jon I feel for you, I watched for 2 years as she belittled you every chance she got she took a shot. Not a very loving wife. yes there are problems in every family, but if she didn’t make money off her children oh dear she might have to actually use that nurse’s licence.

Get a life let this. show die off and everyone in this tortured family will be better off. jon realizes more than his money stardom struck wife that there is far too much invasion into thier lives. All the plastic surgery in the world won’t make Kate beautiful her inner self isn’t so no beauty can ever be projected. If she wants money let her use that nursing degree and go back to work in the real world. My goodness it’s so bad her own neighbors can’t approach her at the stores. who does she think she is??? She is no diva get a grip and some much needed councelling lady, you come across to the TV public as well as your neighbors and family as a nut case. What a same all those darling children have to subjected to this. What will they think in another 5 years. This is not the Brady Bunch people. get a grip keeping this frenzy going is only adding to the tramua of these children. I say lets end this now.

I think that it is sad. To think that two people brought 8 children into a world they did not ask to be brought into, and then spend 10 years together and decide it’s not worth it anymore! Jon and Kate why did you get married to begin with? Love, true love or infatuation?
And why did u bring those beautiful baby girl’s and boy’s into the picture if ya’ll weren’t going to be willing to keep your promises of for “better or for “worst”? Marriage is a sacred vowel not like trying on a pair of jeans!
