She takes after her dad.

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.
Call Michelle ma-belle!
Imagine the ratings!!!!:)
I didn’t think she was Helen Thomas ugly, though.
Female-never watched the show (cancelled cable when hubby lost his job, and perversely haven’t missed it) but they are in the news so much.
Perhaps....but she was a "lunatic" prior to their marriage.
So who's nutsier? (I know, not a word). He knew what she was before he married her. You CAN'T hide OCD!!!
I love them and 18 & Counting. I feel like I'm defending my own family!
She takes after her dad.
I feel for them, I really do but Kate and Jon were so young and Kate INSISTED no help from the families!! That is crazy no matter who are! All we can do is pray for the children, they did not ask for any of this and sure deserve better.
I’ll judge. I never cheated on my spouse or any girlfriend before her, and I’ve never paraded my life on TV. If they don’t want to be judged then they should get the hell off TV, as long as they’re being professional celebrities I get to treat them as such, which generally means scorn and disdain.
I miss Jimmy!!!!!!!!
So you have watched them from the beginning?
Jon didn’t cheat, he made that perfectly clear.
I had never heard of this show before reading about it here. I went over to youtube and watched some clips from the show....jeeeazus! People must be bored out of their fricken minds to watch garbage like this. Society has really went down the crapper when stuff like this is considered entertainment.
If I had that many kids in their age ranges I would be a lunatic too. I have 4 aged 27, 25, 6 and 7 plus a DH and there are days I threaten to run away from home, and the two oldest live out of state from me. I have only watched this show a few times; I think Kate is harsh but he’s an airhead who can’t get with the program. With that many kids there has to be order, more so then the usual household has. They need a good counselor, a good sitter for date night, and to kick the TV crew out the door.
Those Duggars weird me out.
Oh hell no, you couldn’t pay me to watch this show, the commercials are painful enough. It’s all bitching and moaning and bickering, if I want to watch that I’ll go visit my brother-in-law.
Yeah I’m sure Jon says he didn’t cheat, John Edwards said the same thing for a while. Even if he didn’t he was stupid enough to behave in a way that the rumors could start.
Okay, I’m not going to argue.....judge away on something you have never seen.
I would have.
You don’t have to watch the show to know that these people sought celebrity, the fact that they’re on TV at all tells us that. And you don’t have to be smart enough to tie your own shoes to know that people that seek celebrity usually have some sort of “issue” usually revolving around self esteem and a desire to feel loved. And finally you don’t ever actually have to buy a tabloid to know that any time a celebrity is caught “alone” (they’re not really alone of course if they’re being caught) and having fun with a member of their spouses gender who isn’t their spouse it’s going to wind up on the tabloid covers, and smart celebs take steps to avoid those photos and stories.
Well, that’s just sad.
You have a point.
Usually, men marry hoping their wives never change. Women marry thinking their husbands can be changed.
(ducks and runs for cover)
Hey, I said judge away. Go have at it!
And yes, it is a true “slap upside the head” for me. I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, which most of us don't when it comes to other peoples lives.
I LOVE those kids. They have a great relationship with their parents (which we don't see a lot now a days)and it saddens me.
I do pray they work things out.
