Jon and Kate Plus One Huge Media Obsession

Jon & Kate Plus 8 started out as a TLC documentary which somehow blossomed into the flagship reality series for the station. Now, the cable reality show has suddenly become extremely important…because suddenly, it’s become extremely interesting. Even the hint of infidelity is enough to create a media firestorm.

This has made Jon & Kate Plus 8 the nation’s newest obsession, but only TLC watchers will get the inside scoop. “I didn’t think it would escalate into what it’s become,” said Jon Gosselin, who sparked the original rumors by appearing in public with a female companion, aged 23.

“Just the allegations make me furious,” Kate responded to the media gossip. When asked about the future of her marriage, she replied, “I wish I knew.” Ah, the future is an uncertain mistress. “Very swiftly we turned into two people,” she said during the TLC special.

TLC offered Jon and Kate’s sides of the story for the season premiere of the show, which conveniently falls right when media attention is at its hottest.

…Isn’t it funny how these things work out, sometimes?
