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.
They’re just following the script.
Who in their right mind watches this Krap!
I admitted to watching about 10 minutes last night.....never really saw it before.
But, I have to agree with millions.....Kate is evil.
That woman needs divorced badly...
Who the hell are these people? I see them on magazine covers and hear people talking about them but I’ve never heard of them.
I don’t want to know who Jon & Kate are or Twitter.
The term “raging bitch” does not begin to describe this woman.
Kate actually had the nerve to make a negative comment about the octo mom.
She is one vicious witch.
Pity for the children.
One of those people that needs her kids taken away. She is never home yet gets mad at Jon for deciding to have fun with a friend once. Give him full custody.....he actually cares for the kids.
That's annoying.
Self invoked house imprisonment until the 8th kid turns 18 and moves out. Jon will be out less than a year later. If he survives that long.
They should be speaking to a therapist
Nope. Unfortunately most therapists these days are feminazis and will say Kate is right and Jon just needs to be a woman.
All of the tabs say Kate has gone completely Hollywood.
I do! I love Jon and Kate plus 8, been watching since day one. I cried last night watching their family in such tatters.
Who the heck are ANY of us to judge? We have ALL made mistakes. This is a real family we're talking about here. EIGHT kids hang in the balance.
As much as I love watching them, I do hope they cancel their show to put their family back together.
“’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”
Wow. Is this supposed to be “journalism,” or something?
Jon already quit his job to take care of the kids and be on TV full time, he probably just wants out at this point.
probably the trainwreck/carwreck type of thing. kinda like how I sometimes watch wife swap...its pretty good when you get a conservative couple swapping with a liberal couple. usually the liberal wife ends up crying.”they are destroying mother GAIA!”
His only release will be death. Sweet, sweet death.
I have no idea what this show is.
Sad.
Kate is the strong arm in that family. I cried at the end. I feel bad for the entire bunch. I don't think they knew what they had got themselves into.
