Ewww, that comment about marrying a 19 year old is gross.

I agree, that is gross!

thats sad. they sound so unhappy.

I miss them...I wish them happiness!

I think the tone of the show overall has changed. I can't really describe it but when I watch the recent episodes I notice the change and Im not sure if I like it.

I know its their live and people change but .... I just hope their marriage makes it through this because "Jon & Kate:Plus 8" wont be here for long but their family will.

wow. he sounds like a total d.bag.

yah he didnt do himself any favors in this interview, that's for sure

I don't like either Jon or Kate. She treats him like he's a dog by bossing him around and yelling at him. I realize that she has a strong personality but she treats him horribly and I don't like Jon either. He just looks like he's miserable in that marriage and like he didn't plan to be a dad to all 8 kids. Its like she pushed that on him and he has to take it until they're all grown up.

Instead of just standing up for himself he just takes it like a doormat. I just don't like either of them. I think they'll stick it out in the marriage for the kids, but like when they're all grown up he will either leave or he will stay and be miserable. I also think that the show is boring.

What is that 19yr old stuff?! He totally just made himself look like a perv and not funny at all!

I feel like the more they defend their marriage, the more I think it is all smoke and mirrors. People who need to talk about things in public are the least secure. I wouldn't place bets on this marriage lasting - it reminds me of Nick and Jessica, when the entire last season of Newlyweds was a sham.

I think Jon's misery is obvious every episode, and I can't blame him.

Maybe they shouldn't have signed up for a reality show if they didn't want to get 'mobbed and screamed at...' It's weird how she says she doesn't get 'it.' You're on TV! That draws even MORE attention to you and your 8 kids.

If they want to save the marriage, ending the show might be a good idea - I doubt it's good for the kids or the parents.

He did not once say he loved his wife. That I find interesting.

Oh cry me a river. I might actually feel bad for them if they hadn't spent the last three years pimping out their kids so that they can afford a million dollar home and multiple vacations a year. You reap what you sow.

I don't begrudge parents trying to make a good living for their kids. You all are so easy to judge, like you wouldn't do the same thing if given the opportunity.

The LHJ article is actually an interesting read there's more to it than just these quotes.

I dont know why people like this show.

Ive only seen a few but each one she seems snippy and treats him like crap and he seems miserable. Overall they just don't seem like likable people.

it makes me sad that they sound so bitter and unhappy. I really like this show and this family. I wish them all the best.

Jon's comment about the 19 year old is gross. I do feel for him, this marriage is not headed in a good direction. Most reality marriages end.

i think he was kind of humorous with the 19 year old quote, but mainly crossed the line with the other two quotes- i was shocked that he said all that. i agree that the show is boring. hopefully things will settle down for them without the crew in their house all the time.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Kate.

They absolutely would not be able to afford that huge house and all the nice things in their lives without the tv show, the documentaries, and the books.

If you want privacy, then don't get a show on TLC.

I agree hausfrau, she always seems so uptight, and yipping at him to do stuff. I couldn't handle being around her.

this is my favorite show ever and i actually get upset hearing all of this negativity towards them. They are doing the best they can and if there is tension, at least they are keeping to the truth and not trying to lie and pretend its not happening.
and obviously Jon is joking around with the 19 yr old comment.

I feel the same way Martni Rossi...the newer seasons seem different. I started noticing a change a couple of episodes before they moved. It just felt different. Kate doesn't look happy anymore. I hope these 2 can work it out...they love each other and if they have to stop making the show to save their marriage then they should.

First of all this is not a "reality marriage", their lives are real they were just asked to do a reality show. If they didn't love each other why would they have renewed their vows. Yes, Kate can be a little overbearing but Jon needs to put her in her place and not let her get away with it all the time. They have a beautiful place to live and raise their children now and I wish them the best of luck. I am sure if they made this the last season and they started living their lives more normal it would be better for all of them. I watch the show and I love them and the kids. I bet 97% of the people out there couldn't take care and raise these children like Kate and Jon are. Kate maybe a little OCD, but at least she has it together. Imagine if the Octomom had a reality show, we would probably see more of the nannies than her, she is a joke and I think Dr. Phil needs to OPEN his eyes. Keep it up Jon and Kate, live happy, love much and God Bless You all .

I agree with PRSugar, it's one thing to comment once on this but they seem to continue to have to publicly defend their marriage and it's not good.

Both are huge money grubbing fakes.

I believe Kate has gotten some sort of breast surgery. The difference in her appearance is noticeable in season 4. Regardless of this suspicion I, too, have felt a real difference in this last season. It has started to seem as though they really are pimping the kids for more than just the "bare necessities".

I think it is not right for people to judge unless they have children and are in a similar situation. I can tell you that I have 5 kids and I find the show so relatable. It is hard to control chaos and be happy all of the time. Husbands and wives will get irritated. It doesn't mean they don't love each other or are door mats it is just that some situations are more stressful than others..Ex: trying to pack for a vacation when your husband is just wandering around-sometimes they need direction and things just don't occur to them not that they are bad people ot hate their life. I am guilty of acting like Kate once in awhile and my husband like Jon. I think woman are just more organized and are five steps ahead in their minds than men, and a stressful situation sometimes can bring out our imperfections.

I think we all want great experiences for our children in the long run. I would love to take my kids to Hawaii or to Alligator farms but we can't afford it. If I was given the chance I would do it for them too. I don't think she exploits them, she loves them very much and she is using the opportunity to better her kids' lives.

I agree that Jon and Kate have changed. But who hasn't. I hope they find what makes them happy, not only for themselves,but for their children. I will totally miss their show, but anyone with children know that they are what matter most. Maybe they have been getting help coping during their break. We all know that they are very lucky, but at what cost. It seems like it just isn't really worth it. Live for your children, they need you!!!! =o )

I have to agree with no. 29 about this. I can't really say what they really think/feel about the whole thing because I'm NOT them.
I only have 1 child, and boy, it's hard enough for me. I'm naturally more organized, 'anal' and so on compared to my laid-back hubby and it's stressful when you do the taking care of your child(ren) mostly by yourself.

Oh well.

i think that jon is a jerk because of what he did to kate .kate may have acted like a complete b*tch but she wasn't the one who went out and cheated and i don't think kate should lose her kids she takes care of them more then jon does .they say that kate has a violent temper but she doesn't .i like jon and kate plus 8 but i don't like jon i think he is a phony and a cheater .kate you can do it on your own your a strong individual and you're a good person even though you yell and scream all the time .best wishes and good luck .

Hi Jon and Kate Your kids are happy are a Big Happy Family jon do you have a grilfriend your kids look happy and fun Kate are you happy are sad Jon are you happy are sad kate do you have a boyfriend is sad jon do you love kate and kate do you love jon your kids are happy and fun jon do you talk to kate kate do you talk to jon is sad GoodBye

WEll the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, Father like son. Jon looks older than he is and wants to date a lil girl. What would he do if a man wanted to date one of his daughters. Thats gross and deeply disturbing.

The Family first Remember, this doesnt mean you go sow your oats at the expense of your childrens feelings. They will act out, they are already affected by this.
