John and Kate Plus 8 Takes a Turn
The show is called John and Kate plus 8 not John and Kate. I realize that it is supposed to be about the kids and them, but it should not be just about them. We all know that marriage is difficult and raising kids can be frustrating.
I wonder though, do you think that the network is picking on Kate? I have heard many times that they cut a lot out of shows purely for the ratings. All conversations and arguments are two-sided right?? Are we sure that the network isn't just showing us what they want us to see? Perhaps there is more to the fights than we get to see. Have you ever watched a reality show and then seen the interviews after the shows?? Many times people will say "I was the bad guy" because they feel that the network put them in that role. Perhaps they are putting Kate in that role to boost the ratings. You do have to give her some credit though for raising eight kids without going crazy. Being a parent is a difficult job and sometimes we do tend to take it out on the wrong people in the wrong way. So perhaps what we are watching is a ratings game? Or maybe Kate just needs a little more time alone without the kids or John. We all need a break don't we?
Here is another question, why is it that the ratings go higher when we see them fighting? When looking online you will find that they have a five star rating right now. Why is that?? Is it due to the fact that there is so much fighting going on? Do you think that perhaps it makes other couples feel better to know that they are not alone? Or are we really that entertained by other people fighting?
In the opinion of a mother who is engaged after being divorced and currently pregnant I can tell you that knowing you are not alone can be a comforting feeling, it is not a comfort to watch people fight. It is a comfort to see how other families deal with everyday problems that parents face. That is what the show is supposed to be about. It is supposed to be about a marriage, children, and the everyday problems that they face as well as how they conquer those everyday problems.

They should stop the show. It was all about John and Kate plus 8. If John is out they should stop.
kate is all about the Money $$
They should take a break from the show and take care of the 8 kids they have 2gether. It is a schame and embrassing for the kids to have there parents fight for stupid stuff. They made the mess. Its time 4 a break get help because its a long way and time flies fast. T'm on John side. I can tell kate the boss. I feel sorry for john and the kids.
she has 8 kids so what she made the choice to have them%2C%2Cso take care of them and stop looking at them as a paycheck%2C%2Cthis show is greed and the almighty dollar at its best%2C%2Ctlc should be ashamed for not cancelling this show for the sake of the kids%28since jon and kate dont care%29but that would stop the paychecks. These two make me ill and their love life or lack of%2C doesnt interest me at all. Stop watching and maybe the kids can get a normal life without a camera stuck in their face even when they went to the bathroom..tv this is not%2C%2Cpaycheck for insane and mouthy kate it is%2C%2Ci dont know how jon put up with her for so long%2C%2Cshe deserved what she got
I agree with Gwen you guys have a beutiful home don't let it fall apart because later on you will regreat it. Iam 21 years old and my parents got divorce when i was 9 years old and let me tell you that the ones that sufer is the kids their the ones that pay everything that all the adults do.so please if you think you can save your family save it please o and never fight or argue infront of the kids cus everything you say it stays on ther mind for years. LOVE YOU GUYS TAKE CARE
I'm not sure how John tolerated Kate's bossy attitude. She has no idea how to talk to her husband. I feel bad for the children, but no household should have to endure the Big Mouth Kate.
John and Kate..That beautiful family of yours is worth saving at any cost..You guys are great together and can survive whatever is going on..You both have to be willing and if either of you think that the grass is greener on the other side you aresadly mistaken.You have eight adorable children with all their individual personalaties...Don't throw that away..That is the most precious thing on earth...You both can survive this TOGETHER..Find your way back...Do it for yourselves and not the show or the kids...The kids will love both of you but explain to them as they get older why you are not together as a family and see how it will affect them...esp. if they see the way you both were on the show...I Love you guys...You have become a very special part of our lives too..I would give anything to have 8 grandkids as beautiful as your eight..and they ALL are beautiful and fantastic kids..
i just hope the couple try their best to save their marriage. It takes a lot of sacrifice to do that. If sacrifice means giving up the show, then by all means, they should do it. It saddens me to know that after all they've been through, they'd just end up in divorce, how easy for them to give up! If it's because of fame and money, it's not worth it. I honestly believe they should undergo counselling.It's not too late to save their marriage.
Even know they may have thier diffrences doesn't mean that we have to be mean about them yes i do feal bad for the kids but that is no reason to have "the P people" always around them the kids already said that they didn't like haveing the camaras arond all the time so even know it's the parents falt doesn't mean to make the kids scared!!
