All this talk of divorce makes me want to punch myself in the face. Yes, their marriage propbably isn't perfect and they don't get along all the time, but they've stated themselves how uninteresting their lives would be and how unrealistic that situation is. I would hope with most couples even CONSIDERING divorce/seperation that they at least consider discussing or attempting to solve their problems before forcing their children to go through it. I would think Jon and Kate would do everything in their power to save their marriage before divorce or seperation would even be an option, and from the looks of tonight's episode, they are clearly still in love, but the show is taking its toll on them and their lives moreso than their children.

So I just saw a report that says that they get paid $75,000.00 per episode. Is Jon even working right now? He dropped out of college and has worked odd jobs. She's currently on all these press tours selling a "scrapbook". I saw her new book in Barnes and Noble and it's basically just pictures on each page along side a bible verse and a little blurb she wrote. I know I seem a little cynical here but I also think they have become a little jaded. I read an article that he took pictures with those college women because they recognized him and they wanted a picture with him. Still- why was he even out without his wife? Also, the press was asking her questions about their life and she said they would just have to watch! It's like they have become entitled to all of this attention simply because they chose to have more kids. I don't see the other families on TLC acting like this. It seems that the TLC network has been their main source of income. I guess they have to milk it as long as they can because I don't know of any other job that would pay that much. It's also such a shame that the older girls- especially Maddie- have been shown in such a bad light. I also can't believe that now they have become celebrities and are appearing on the cover of magazines that usually have been reserved for entertainers and such. Okay- I better get off my soap box now.

Honestly, I have lost interest 100% in them.

Yeah- I know what you mean Stockard. Seems like I only watch so that I can see Jon put Kate in her place- pathetic huh?

I have only watched one episode. They returned to the hospital where the kids were born. I thought it was just pathetic. The multiples knew some of the hospital lingo? Why would a return to a hospital be important? How are these kids going to find any personal identity if they are on national TV as a unit marketing product?

These kids are exploited for the parent's fame and fortune.

Yeah brdlwyr- I saw that episode and I thought it was pathetic too. The kids really didn't want to be there and it didn't even seem like they cared. It's like Kate was forcing the memories on them. I also saw the episode where she was taking photos of her kids next to the potty that contained their poop- what? It's because of this show that Octomom got her brilliant idea to get paid for having a bunch of kids. I mean- why enter the workforce when you can stay at home, go on very expensive and all-paid for vacations, and get paid to do it! Since Octomom wants to go back to school in the fall- she's probably even banking on her reality show to pay for her college and daycare- jeez! P.S. I hope the Gosselin kids have trust funds set up instead of their parents getting everything. Their show has certainly afforded a huge house on some major property. Octomom plans to be filming for the next 20 years. I wonder how long the Gosselin's will go on?

I hope nobody watches the octomom show.

NOBODY WATCH IT! I don't think I can look at her creepy lips for an hour anyway.

Don't fall for it! It's a ratings ploy since they are down to about 2.9 million viewers! If you are that curious, wait for the rerun later that night or the next night. This couple and TLC have just become more and more pathetic!

eh, I'm not a Nielsen family, though. No one cares what I watch.

But, I will be sad if this means the new episode with the $5,000+ treehouses will not be airing...
