Question by Elizabeth… super bored!: What did you think of the Jon and Kate plus 8 Season Premier?
I thought it was pretty good! The party looked great and it was great to see Carla and Ashley again. It’s sad the paparazzi follow them every where now. I almost started crying when Kate did though

It made me soooo sad when Alexis was like “daddy i dont want you to leave anymore” i felt like crying. that’s horrible! The party did look great but it just made me sad:’(
yeah when Jon and Alexis had their moment it broke my heart! I was a little confused though- towards the end of shows in the interviews it seemed like they were breaking up ( though not directly saying it) but then they had the bbq and it looked so nice to see everyone together- like old times! and in the sneak peek with Emerial they were together too, so IDK but I did enjoy the show. I’m glad the addressed some stuff and didn’t just act like it never happened, but still kept thing privet. Although I’m not looking forward to seeing the interviews of them talking about this the whole season, and only hinting around about it. Oh and I wanna see em do the interviews together again! I like how they act together.
it was alright, it had its sad parts here and there, but it was okay.
what is the conflict between jon and kate. i remember jon saying something about “he would never cheat on kate…”
I was very sad last night. I did not think that Jon and Kate would really ever think about splitting up and I thought for sure that they would work through it but after last night I am not so sure. Jon seemed like he really wanted nothing to do with kate, and basically said that he is there for the children only. Kate seemed so miserable, which I am sure the kids can pick up on. All and all I was just so sad last night. It was heartbreaking to watch.
The whole relationship seemed to crumble so quickly which makes me believe that they really were putting on a front in earlier episodes and seasons. I think Jon just had enough. He seems very out of it to me. I’ve never liked Kate but I did feel bad for her last night. What really bothers me is that their marriage is over, their kids are being chased in parking lots and they still are doing the show. That shows the lack of common sense to me about what is really best for the kids well being. I don’t think they will stay together. They will probably divorce and keep a business relationship for financial reasons so Jon isn’t required to pay child support we know he couldn’t afford.
I really felt for Kate and was glad she was so open with what was going on. Sometimes people don’t like to divulge certain things because you know the hate sites are going to eat it up. She was strong and did break down in the end showing that it’s really taking it’s toll on her.
Jon I could have smacked the heck out of. He was emotionless and really seems numb to everything. I was upset with his response when his little girl asked him to be home more often. He just shrugged it off with a lame excuse. He feels like he is a prisoner and they may think their 5 year olds don’t see the tension, but they most certainly do. They may be little, but they are not stupid.
it was good. it was really weird though because you could feel the tension. they didnt sit on the chair at the same time, (maybe once). it was also sad because jon wanted to “take the weekend off” instead of helping his wife plan for their childrens 5th birthday. like kate said, their 5th birthday only comes once. and its the last time that any of their kids are turning 5. i really hope that they dont get a divorce. i cant see the kids without both of them together. its really sad how the paparazzi has to creep in the trees in the forest. i hope everything between them can work out. if they wouldnt have done this show in the first place, probably none of this would have happened. im not blaming the family, its mostly because of the media.
I’m addicted to the show mostly because Im always shocked at the way she speaks to him and treats him like a child. My mouth always drops atleast 3 times during an single episode. One time she even smacked him in the back of his head during an interview twice!!!! And then tried to rub his face lovingly he said “get off of me, dont touch me!” I was laughing cause she got so embarassed. But yea she had this comming, she’s not a very nice wife.
1. Where were Aunt Jody and Talia during the party?
2. PEOPLE. A lot of country’s marriages result in divorce. It won’t be the end of the world if they get divorced — divorce is better for the kids than having them stay together when they don’t love each other. Especially since they have all of those helpers now.. If they stay together for the sake of their kids, they won’t be happy, their kids will be confused, and it will just cause more rumors.
3. Did anyone notice Jon’s new car? I’m sure that little mustang could carry around ALL of their kids.. huh? Kate’s stuck driving a minivan while Jon goes and has crazy rabbit sex with young women and drives fast cars to parties.
I felt so sad. My heart broke for them. I am usually defensive for Jon because of the way Kate treats him sometimes but I felt like he was so cold. Kate seems like she is genuinely hurt and she feels betrayed. I wanted to scream into the TV set and say come on guys, work it out. It is so sad that not even a year ago they renewed their vows! I hate to say it but I kinda believe now the stories about JOn and him having an affair. I was just so disappointed in him. Kate as she said is still there and does everything for the kids. He didn’t even help with buying the party items or even help setting them up. Where was he? Regardless of what has happened, she is your wife and he is your husband. They should at least go to counseling. I feel so bad for the kids too. They have to know what’s going on. They are already 5 and almost 9. I have always said it, May God bless the Gosselin family! I will continue to be a fan of the show.
The show was weird, you can feel the tension oozing from the tv set..
anyway, It ALWAYS takes two to tango…
The world would never know what really happened between them…only jon and kate knows the truth..we can’t judge them…same goes for everyone right?You don’t really know a person unless you have lived with them in under one roof and you’re the one in a relationship with him/her.
I feel sorry for the kids..they may have all the material things they want to have BUT having a whole(ie. united) family is priceless..
Let’s just wait and see..maybe they will find it in their hearts to work things out but maybe just need some time apart..who knows?
I just wish them well..
I think it was bitter sweet… I t was nice to see that although they are going thru all this drama they still were able to come together to celebrate their kids birthday. Although it was sad to see how things have changed between Jon and Kate. I do feel bad for them but I wish them nothing but the best!!
I think they handled it quite well considering . . . . My opinion is that they are already separated and have been for quite some time, and they are just waiting for the right time to make of official. It is always sad when a couple split up – especially when there are children involved.
I think it was very sad!! I use to watch it every week.. but last season was very hard to watch.
I do think Jon has made poor choices. But I really disliked how Kate refuse to take any responsibility for any of it. Any marriage is hard, but it takes two to make it work. And it take to to break a marriage. She said I am doing what I need to do, Jon made poor choices. She was quick to point the finger at him, but never took responsibility for her part in it. It truly takes two, to let a marriage crumble.
It was sad when one of the little girls approached Jon and said she missed him, and didn’t like it when he was away. That was soo sad to me!
Alexis brought a tear to my bad eye.
I guess the editing was probably done to make them look pretty good.
Although, i hear Jon’s voice kinda broken up and, he is at a bad advantage point with her. And Armor Kate keeps up so well, she has balls.
Good but then stupid cause they never told us if there splitting up or what!
I think one of the factors into the end basically of their relationships is they got married in there early 20s, had children in their mid 20s and started raising children. I am not defending anyone but they never got to experience their 20s together or party it out. Yes they decided to have children early and jon should be a man except he is a wuss and tries to justify his “actions” and goes out to bars and meets new women. I feel bad that there is a magnifying glass to their marriage but they should of known what they were getting themselves into. Sadly they just thought “hey we are gonna do this show, show america our family and get $$$$ from TLC!, how great can this be, plus we will have film to show the kids when we are older”.
Yes the pros to this opportunity was great but things just spirraled out of control. Kate has a dominant personality, while jon is passive, relationships can work like this but jon feels he needs to voice his opinion. Alot of the time jon is the clueless one! Sometimes I scratch my head myself and think “why didn’t he do that?”.
Overall, jon needs to step up and be a man! Come on he is in his 30s…I think your partying days are over buddy, you have 8 kids to care for who want your undying attention. He should get rid of that mustange which the network probably paid for and put it to those kids college fund!
it shows how the love is lost, especially when Jon was at the birthday party, Kate didn’t even acknowledge him when they were side by side and she left to get her coat to change the subject.
Did the paparazzi started following them after the situation or they have always had paparazzi following them? Cuz that was never brought up in previous shows: Christmas shopping at the toy store, picking up the puppies, going to the Vet with the dogs and etc.
I’ve watched Jon and Kate Plus 8 since the beginning, so I made sure to watch the premiere.
When Alexis told Jon she didn’t want him to leave again, I really did cry a little, I also cried when Kate started crying during the interview. I was very sad to hear Jon say at the end that they would try to be friends whether they were married or not, to me it doesn’t seem like he is trying as hard to save their marriage as Kate is.
I was watching some of the episodes I had tivo-ed from a while ago and it made me sad to see how happy and joking they used to be with each other.
I know it’s probably kind of silly that I was crying about a marriage falling apart when I haven’t actually met them before, but I just look at their kids and I just can’t bear to imagine them having to go through a divorce like that, they already have the papparazzi following them around!
Even though I thought it was sad, I thought the season premiere was pretty good, I always like watching them anyways and they weren’t sad the entire time, although I do think with the party it was a little unfair that Kate had to do most of it herself when it was for 6 5-year olds!
Sorry my answer is so long! I hope I helped you
I’ve been watching from the beginning too. I couldn’t believe how much things have changed. The paparazzi following them everywhere was just crazy to me, I thought it was sad one kid knew and the others asked barely able to pronounce the word.
Overall just sad esp when Alexis told Jon she didn’t like it when he leaves and he was like well sometimes daddies have to work (I was floored why lie? They pick up something is wrong), like he said one day his kids are going to Google him and find out what he’s really been up to. Its like seeing a COMPLETELY different Jon. One who is cold and could care less (maybe he is at/ experiencing his mid life crisis)? Seeing Kate break down was rough, hearing how she thought they would beat the odds of the tripled divorce rate, then hearing his nonchalant they could be friends, seeing how he avoided Kate and is not as involved w/ the kids anymore (like the planning of the party). Mady and Cara having to step up where he doesn’t. It was just a completely different tone and show from previous seasons its heartbreaking to watch. Seeing them show old footage of the past birthdays at the end too (the good times) made me a little tearful.
I will miss them but like I said in previous posts I’ve made in YA. TLC needs to cancel this show and give them counseling.
The most heart wrenching episode I’ve ever seen! I was so heartbroken when Alexis gave her Daddy a hug and a kiss, and told him “Daddy, I don’t want you to leave anymore!” I broke down crying. You could see Jon felt guilty, and Alexis obviously had no idea of the media firestorm. Those kids deserve a good life. I also think its sad how Kevin and Jodi have gone into the limelight just to bash them. I love Kevin and Jodi, they seem like such sweet people, but now was not the time.
I think it’s really sad. I hope they can work things out. I think they need to talk through their problems and talk through it. I think this should definitely be done OFF CAMERA. I’m really surprised they did another season. I don’t think it was the best decision with everything that is going on with their family. I wish them the very best.
I feel bad for Jon!! Having to quit his job. Where is Kate but on HER book tour. SHE should be helping to raise the kids.
Jon is the victim just like the kids!!! Kate is a B&#$H
it was sooooooooo sad. I feel really bad for the kids because jon and kate have so many problems between them. I feel bad for them too, of course. I really like the kids. I almost started crying when Kate said that the divorce rate was higher for parents of multiples. I wish that there was a way to contact them and tell them that we support them. The season premiere was sad though, and I hope everything works out for their family.
i know i felt the same the show doesnt have that pizzaz any more like it used to have. everybody seems all gloomy and they never really sit together anymore
After seeing the premier I though .. its time to end the show especially after seeing Alexis say to her beloved father “Daddy I don’t want you to leave anymore” . Can you imagine what it going to be like if they do divorce?
What sane mother would let a film crew film their child’s pain? as you will being seeing and hearing more such comments from the children.
Can you imagine how these children are going to view their parents when they get older for doing so?
As I said in another post, I can no longer watch this show as by doing so I am then helping to hurt these children by providing ratings.
i was so sad…….and i love how kate made the paparazzi feel like peaces of crap who have no life……thats what they get MUAAHHAHA. i was about to cry. Poor Kate and Jon and the kids…..they need the show for the $ (cha chinggg)!!!!!!!!!! i love that show
She was feeling guilty about her bad publicity, because she thinks that the world loves her.
Don’t feel sorry for her at all.
I saw next wks preview where mady and kate go to sandiago but one of the little kids goes to hospital who is it and why.
I noticed i thinmk hannah with a sick bag maybe but i dont know
When Alexis told Jon she didn’t want him to leave anymore, I cried. It was sooooo funny when Joel goes,” The paparazzi!”. Hannah looked sooo cute on their birthday.
I What would you think about a mother who goes shopping for furniture with all her young children and completely ignores the fact the children are out of control.This happened on the episode when Jon and Kate were picking out beds for the kids.I couldn’t understand the necessity of bringing in all the children to pick out the beds.Poor Jon was trying to keep the kids entertained while Kate plopped herself in an easy chair looking at a bed catalogue.The salesman was at a loss at these kids jumping on beds and climbing all over all the merchandise.I think the most disturbing part of this segment was when Joel came up to Kate and was crying and wanted Kate to comfort him.She called Jon ,who then took all the kids out to the van,.She continued glancing at the bed catalogue.Apparently Joel was having trouble with a bowel movement and Jon assisted him and comforted him.To me it is just a typical Kate reaction.I think more often than not when you watch the kids and Jon there is a lot of affection,caring and real fun. think that if you listen to what Kate said she admitted she is controlling in the relationship.I could cite many examples of how she was demeaning to Jon both in their home and when they were on their “family” adventures.I think it is better for them to separate than to remain a cold and distant couple.I feel bad for the kids who are the real victims in this situation,It just puts me in mind of the movie The Truman Show.I don’t watch the show on a regular basis because as a mother and grandmother I feel these children are losing ( or have lost) a time in their lives they will never get back. It is sad to think that doing the show should have given the ability to have a better life than they otherwise could afford.Somewhere betwen reality and reality show they have lost the dream or at least their priorities.
i loved it! i love the show! i love the kids! i love jon and kate! i love their friends! i loved the birthday party!
but i also did cry when kate did (and i still do every time i watch the episode) and it was soo sad when (i think it was) alexis who said “daddy i dont want you to go away anymore!”awwwww
acoustic…are you for real?? when’s the last time you saw jon flying off somewhere for a “book tour” or “speaking engagement”? kate goes for manicures and pedicures, has her hair done constantly, not to mention her yummy looking bodyguard. There are many qualified female bodyguards available and as a “Christian” wife, how is it that Kate did not hire one of them? So please, if Jon has a sportscar for himself, frankly that’s the least of their problems. He’s one of the thousands and thousands of men who have a car that makes them happy. My husband has a Jeep Rubicon. Our whole family can’t fit in it but I certainly don’t think any less of him for having it.
Sorry Elizabeth that I got off topic, but honestly, I don’t get the whole poor Kate thing. She is reaping what she has sown and it’s only the kids to suffer in the end. She is bossy and manipulative and if I were her husband, I’d have left her long ago, or drank myself to death.
The premier was ok. The kids are cute as always but obviously affected by the drama which was sad to see. This is the first episode where Kate did not belittle Jon and treat him like a child, so that alone speaks volumes!
