VIDEO: Jon & Kate Gosselin to Reveal ‘Life-Changing Decisions’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,

UPDATE: Radaronline.com is reporting that Jon and Kate will divorce.

What do you do when your ratings tumble, your marriage crumbles and you’re caught on camera spanking a child? You put together a special about your “life-changing decisions.”

Next week, TLC will replace the previously scheduled Mother’s Day episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight with an hour devoted to the family’s current state. At least, that’s what I assume the commercial’s messages (“A family in turmoil….a relationship at a crossroads…Where do they go from here?”) are referring to.

Are the Gosselins officially going to separate? Will they end the 40-episode run before it’s really begun? Will Kate finally share her bottle of water with Mady?

Tune in on Monday @ 9:00 to get all your burning questions answered!

Jon and Kate: The Great Debate

Posted by Melissa Trebus Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable,

Okay, so last week was the season premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8. I have been a peeping Tom on this family for the last four seasons. After watching, I have different feelings. One of the things that made this show so entertaining in the past was the “loving” banter between the parents, Jon and Kate. When the show started, they were young parents, obviously hurting financially, trying to make a few bucks and document their children as they grew up. Now… oy… they are as dysfunctional as any other reality television family.

Instead of being entertained, I was depressed. As I watched each of them filmed separately on the couch, I felt like an intruder in a very personal marriage struggle. The show has lost its entertainment factor to me. I watch television to get away from the regular parental struggles. I want to see the underdog prevail. Now don’t get me wrong, I want Jon and Kate to work everything out, but a scripted “reality” show where we have some Kate episodes, some Jon episodes, and a few carefully planned joint appearances is SO not for me. It’s summer time!! I want something light and funny. So this summer I will be scrolling right past TLC and stopping on…..Oxygen maybe? Right now Tori and Dean never looked so appealing!

Extended Season for Jon & Kate Plus 8

TLC might need a bigger couch.

If you noticed the uncomfortable distance between Jon and Kate earlier this week, imagine what that space might look like later. Even though the Gosselins would have been smart to quit while they were ahead, the tabloid subjects committed themselves to a fifth season. And oh what a long one that will be.
