Jon Minus Nine - What'd everyone think?
As much as I don't care for Kate, she seemed really sincere and upset. Jon seemed like a big doucher, especially with those earrings.
I can't stop watching the train wreck but I really hoped they could work things out.
Re: Jon Minus Nine - What'd everyone think?
Totally agree. She seemed really sad that the demise of their marriage. He seems concerned about the kids, but ready to be on his own. "I'm only 32." Yeah, a 32-year-old with 8 kids under the age of 10.
It was really sad to watch. I was really hoping they would decide to end the show or take a break or something to save their family. but I guess the fame, money, and free stuff is too important. And, really, he seemed more like the one loving the fame and all (except that papparazzi) that comes with it more than she did.
Hopefully no one is saving it on DVR and hasn't seen it yet or your title gives it away!
I think the whole situation is super sad.
I didn't watch, but...
Jon looked like a tool w/ those earrings.
I still think Kate is a B and if I were Jon, I'd be excited too.
It's sad that a marriage failed and I feel sorry for the kids.
I understand they probably have contracts that are hard to break w/ TLC, but for the love... STOP filming!
Saw this posted on another board:

I skimmed.
Jon is clearly over it - and he looked like an idiot with his earrings and the statement "I am only 32"
I have always thought K was a huge B but I felt sorry for her
That article is good! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome article.
I haven't watched the episode yet, but i knew what happened.
Even though I knew it would end up this way, I really wish they would have stopped the show and worked on their relationships.
Sad stuff.
I am just so heartbroken over this... It just doesn't seem like they are willing to TRY to save the marriage.
I know its silly to get so involved in crap like this... but watching the show with my fiance - it got us talking about our future marriage, our kids, how we want to do things... and I started to look up to that family. I really respected them and how they raised their children. It is just so sad to see...
We are getting married in the same place where they renewed their vows... and we watched that episode a LOT... and to hear how committed they were to each other just a couple of months ago - and now this... I just don't believe that they tried to save the marriage at all.
:-( sad.
Oh, yeah, sorry. I should have used one too. I didn't mean that the way it sounded. I got "spoiled" to the news on FB last night before I got to watch the show. I think I meant to say more in that last post about it being everywhere, but got distracted by work and just hit "post."
After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!

Really? The show is on hiatus?? I hadn't heard that...
As much as I love watching those kids... this makes me really happy. They all need a break from the show and the photographers and the gossip mags... everything. (and I was so glad that john and kate wern't on the cover of my US weekly this week!)
The today show reported this morning that the show is going on hiatus while the family settles into their new routines. Next week will be a retrospective of their last 10 years.
I agree Jon is an idiot. He use to complain about having to go to work everyday, now he complains about not working. He is a grass is always greener on the other side guy. Plus I heard the weekend of Kate's birthday when he went skiing, his girlfriend was with him. What a jacka$$.
Kate gave a quote today about why she filed for divorce first. Something about what Jon did this weekend was her breaking point. Hmm, wonder what he did??
I was terrified when the were going to the nice brunch that they were going to tell the kids on camera that they were splitting up. I am so glad they did not!
Oh, I saw some interview clips with Aunt Jodi and her husband (Kate's brother) and she said Kate gave Jon a contract a while back saying he can have girlfriends but he has to continue to do the show. If that is true, that is really sad. She tried to keep the perfect family look for the world. Aunt Jodi seemed to be very concerned about the kids well being, like more was going on behind the scenes than we know about.

This may be the vodka talking but here goes.. This guy was clearly not ready to have kids, much less end up with 8 of them. She even said she wanted to have kids ASAP after marriage and she seems like a "my way or the highway kind of gal" so he went with it just to keep her happy. Now he has grown a little bit, looked backed and maybe realized he wasn't ready for marrige and kids just yet and is now living his 20's in his 30's. While I am glad he grew a set and came into his own, he also needs to realize he has 8 kids who need a father and stop wearing those Ed Hardy shirts for the love of pete...
Mid-life crisis about 20 years early
I hate this for everyone involved. The kids are surely going to need some major help through this, especially since, even with the show off the air, it will all be publicized.
I also feel so bad for Kate, I don't care how much of a B she is, I don't think anyone deserves to be cheated on. If Jon wanted our that badly he should have asked for a divorce then. I think cheating is a way to make the other person look like the bad guy.
Then there is Jon. While it does seem that his stunts seem to be the ultimate last straw for the marriage (not that all the other ones were his fault) but I feel bad that he felt so trapped that this was his only way out. I do agree that it seems like maybe he wasn't ready for all of this, the marriage and kids and fame. I feel bad that Kate did treat him the way she did and that he didn't know a better way to manage that.
I think both Jon and Kate probably need to do some major soul searching and behavior changing for the sake of their children.
