9.8 million people spent 1 hour of their lives watching Jon & Beaverhead Plus 8 last night. This was easily TLC's most watch episode ever. Jon & Kate even beat the Lost season finale in the ratings. That has to hurt. Sadly, I was not among the 9.8 million suckahs who watched, because I went to bed at like 8 o'clock. I wanted to make sure I was fully coherent when I watched, so that I could take precise notes. Kate is the master at this and she deserves my undivided attention. I watched a bunch of old episodes this past weekend and it really is like a master class in how to be a mega b*tch. The reviews from the critics confirm this.
UsWeekly compiled a few:
On Kate saying her life in the media spotlight is so hard: "Is it really, Kate? Tell that to a family in which the breadwinner has just lost her or his job, you silly, self-absorbed fool." - Baltimore Sun
On Kate saying the paparazzi following them is creepy: "What's creepy is having your children followed around by a camera crew. Any camera crew. Period. It's exploitation, whatever cutesy name you want to give it." New Jersey's Star Ledger
On Kate saying she's alone 6 times when Jon goes away for the weekend: "You just wanted to say, 'We get it! You feel you're the Wronged Woman! Aren't you savvy enough by now to know you're not winning us over?' This was especially true when she noted that 'all of a sudden, your kids are calling you your babysitter's name.' I could almost hear millions of viewers shouting, 'So stay home!'" - Entertainment Weekly
Beautiful, right?
Just from watching a few clips online, it looks like an episode of Faces of Death. Seriously, it's like witnessing their marriage get hit by a train in slow motion. They should be speaking to a therapist not a producer.
My favorite part has to be when the producers asks them what the future holds. Kate says, "I'm here" and Jon says "I'm here....for the kids." I expected the rabid beaver on Kate's head to pounce on Jon's crotch and bite into it. Obviously, when Kate pulled his nuts out she missed some of the root, because it seems like they are starting to grow back.
It happens...
I have watched for yrs, and was amazed at how cruel she was to him for yrs. I could not be around a woman like that.
People DO NOT change once you marry them. He knew exactly what he was getting with Kate when he married her.
This is the MAIN reason why divorce is so high now a days. Stupidity!
Some watch it to see those adorable little kids, not these bickering idiots.
No bother. There are two other similar shows to turn to. One features 18 kids and a strong Christian marriage. Another features 12 little cuties and a down-to-Earth couple.
I saw an episode this weekend where she scolded one of the little girls for eating a strawberry. Bitch indeed.
I agree with this person and I’m female. I would never expect a man to stay if his wife treated him like she does. I can hardly beelvie that after twins he agreed to more kids with that woman, he must be crazy?
I’m surprised she still has her teeth. Any other man would have knocked hers out by now.
There is a surprise. She is a narcisisstic bitch. I would be less surprised to find out her vagina had teeth.
I do think pride has taken over Kate. Ugh, this is the feminism crap that boils my blood.
They seem to have reversed roles and Jon is fighting against it, with his natural instincts. I believe Kate is using “outside influences” (feminism) to justify her role in this. Although, Jon should have fought harder for his role as man of the family.
A woman like...John Keats’ Lamia. Pretty on the outside, and a snake on the inside. Men appreciate beauty, but they don’t like to be treated like poo. They are funny like that.
It would be interesting if Freepers replying to this thread would say if they are male or female. For instance:
I am a man, and I have never heard of this show. It seems to me it would be awful.

I am a pretty easy-going guy and believe in marriage until death, but I would have divorced her long ago.
I married a strong woman, but she respects me and I her. No way I would stay if she was like Kate though...heavens.
I am a woman. Kate is an evil bitch. I hope he leaves her and finds happiness.
Again, as much as I love watching them, I do hope they cancel to get their family back together.
Let’s face it. If Jon and Katy were a typically loving husband and wife, the show would get no ratings. So they had to spice it up with the storyline and...voila! Huge ratings....how does that happen?
PT Barnum was Right!
Nope. Sorry. She is repulsive. That muskrat she has on her head isn't doing her any favors either.
Jon should be commended. If I were married to a bitch like Kate, the final episode would have been entitled Eight minus Jon and Kate: The Murder/Suicide.
Jon should tell Kate immediately he’s going back to work and see how she reacts.
The Obama shall heal this marriage.
That woman is a friggin’ lunatic!
(yeah, I’m a guy)
