41 episodes!!??--no wonder this is breaking them. I think TLC needs to examine when enough is enough. (Obviously that is beyond Kate's scope at this point. And it sure does not seem like she has anyone to help her out. ie: a mom or old friend or sister, etc...)

so approx 41 days of shooting. I wonder how many months it is spread over? 4 months? I could handle working 10 days out of each month. Cake walk!

Jon Gosselin Steps Out with Female Friends

As speculation about the future of Jon and Kate Gosselin's troubled marriage grows, one thing is for sure: they spent the Memorial Day holiday far apart.

While Kate reportedly took the eight on a boat ride in North Carolina, Jon was spotted at an upstate New York bar with two women. Several witnesses at 26 Front Street bar in the Hudson River town of Newburgh tell PEOPLE that Jon stopped in with two friends Monday afternoon – a woman who appeared to be in her mid-20s and another who looked to be older.

"They came in, approached the bar, got some drinks and then stood off on their own by a railing," says a bouncer who checked Jon's ID. "They were laughing and talking and they all left together."

The bouncer says Jon and the younger woman, "were standing close at one point ... but there was not any PDA that I noticed." Jon's trip to the bar was first reported on TMZ.com.

Afternoon Flirting?
Manager Robb Tanczos says Jon drank Miller Lite. "I didn't see any kissing, touching, caressing or anything like that," he says. "They just kind of chilled."

However, a patron who observed them says he believes Jon was flirting with the younger woman. "There was a lot of intense conversation," says the customer. "They were laughing a lot and looked really close. It looked like flirting to me."

Both Jon and Kate have denied reports they have been unfaithful to one another.

Sources say Jon and his two friends spent about 40 minutes in the outdoor area of the Newburgh bar and left after it appeared people began noticing they were there.

"People tried taking cell phone pictures and they turned around to face the railing and kind of spread out so they weren't standing so close," says the bouncer.

"I think once people recognized him they left," adds Tanczos.

The trio also stopped into another restaurant nearby, Torches on the Hudson, for some food and drink that afternoon.

"Jon looked really relaxed and was talking to people," general manager Damien Brady tells PEOPLE. "One of the waitresses asked for an autograph and he gave it to her."

So they have an overseas trip planned? I find it hard to believe , I thought everyone, especially people that like to travel, got theirs in order because you need one for all travel outside of the states.

I don't thin we'll see divorce happening until TLC pulls the plug. They will milk the gravy train, I guess.

I also wonder if we'll not see the true discourse between the two and if we'll have altering episodes featuring Kate one half hour and Jon the next.

you know I want to watch them going overseas, as a happy, entertaining family - now it feels so much more like a train wreck and I dont want to participate... I still feel so sad..

Having watched all the episodes from all the years I have seen the change in Jon. It was most noticeable in the last show of the season when they were sitting on their little couch and it was plain as day that he didn't want to continue with this show and she did. Is he acting out because she MADE him continue? If so he's not better behaviour-wise than Mady having one of her tantrums.

I wish we could see a segment where they talked about how, being a church going family that they had prayed about this, sought counsel from their pastor, anything.....

Seems to me like Jon is immature and selfish. The statement " I have to be Jon and Kate" not Jon" just ticks me off as I still say he is not grateful for the $$$ that the show has brought this family.
TLC please pull the plug this is truly a train wreck.

I agree with Erniesgirl - the show made it clear that religion was a huge part of their lives. They regularly showed them going to church and in the episode where they wrote a mission statement for their family, they emphasized their faith and commitment to God. Most of their speaking engagements were invitations to churches and church groups. I was really hoping that they would either make an effort to get some support from their own church, or it would be offered by another religious organization. I would hate to think that their commitment to their faith was all a put on for the cameras!

I think everything we've seen like the church going and mission statements were contrived for TV purposes. I don't trust the validity of what we saw as being true to who they are. Kate has often said this (the TV show" is her job). I'm now thinking this was the least real reality show I've watched. If tptb wanted them to convert to Buddhists or become vegans they probably would have gone along with that to.

*sigh, again, sad - I didnt go to the link (cant see videos on this computer) but it seems like they have been seperated, that once again they are just letting the public know.

I think I remember that Kate's dad is a pastor? and of course I've seen her on the 700 club... so I dont think a lot of it is for the cameras, I think that they do want to raise their kids in a Christian environment (didnt the kids go to a Christian preschool?)

LIke I told my mom, we all have to let go, and Let God! So much easier said than done, as I once again venture into the topic!

The video is from celeb tv, it doesn't show kate or jon speaking; so, I do not know what their source is. Celeb tv did not use the word speculation though.

It all makes me very sad. I was hoping that Monday's ep would show it had mostly been for hype.

Jon Gosselin used to only get $5 dollars to spend, according to his former employer, Us Weekly reports.
"She used to give him only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell," his ex-boss at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel reveals to the magazine.
Rothermel claims Jon used to spend all day searching the Internet for free things he could get for the sextuplets. Gosselin was later fired.
Rothermel also remembers a time when Kate came into the office to yell at Jon while she was still pregnant with her six children.
"She came in raising hell because Jon's father was supposed to bring her lunch and he was late. She got up out of bed rest to come in and yell at anyone who would listen!" he describes.
Another source talks of Kate's ungrateful ways. The source claims a friend of Jon's father donated a 14-person van for the family to use, but Kate "never thanked him," and later "traded it in because she hated the color burgundy."

I never cease to be amazed at all of these people who are now coming out of the woodwork to "tell all." Where have they been for the last 4 years the show has been on the air? It's hard to believe that with all of these stories, that we've never heard a thing before now.

Just heard on Fox News, that the State of PA is investigating the show for the possibility of breaking child labor laws. Someone filed a complaint.

Juju, it was either last night or the night before they were discussing this on Issues with Jane Whatsherface on HLN. And one of the talking heads commented that Pennsylvania had strict child labor laws regarding children under the age of 7 appearing on TV and that this show was probably in violation of those laws.

I have noticed lately, that Fox News has reported on them every day. Boy, when Fox gets on top of a story, they don't let go. There is no telling where this will end up.

Wow, I hope the State of PA can say that there are NO kids at high risk in PA that may not be checked while these kids who are not kept isolated take up time because "someone" filed a complaint.

As for "I have to be Jon & Kate plus 8 and not just Jon", uh, buddy, yeah you are married with 8 kids so that is sort of what you signed up for.. tv show or no, "just Jon" shouldn't be the top priority, hmm? Even if you get a divorce, you STILL are the father of 8 children and being "just Jon" which seems in your mind to require partying in public with younger women still will affect those little ones.

I think they were involved in religion before the show, befor the 'tups were born.. the CD Kate listened to while in the hospital on bed rest was religiously oriented. I guess I will hold judgement on their faith and don't expect them to question mine, in whatever format that happens to be. I'm sure TLC encouraged it.

Ah Hukd, they all need their time in the spotlight, even though they can see it can be less than healthy..

The part about her coming in and yelling.. grain of salt and I think any woman who has undergone fertility treatments could vouch for the extremes in affect that causes.

And there, someone said it again.. Jon didn't just quit his job to stay home, he wasn't doing his job and he was fired. Different.

Faith is an easy commodity to sell. I won't question their religion. I'm sure TLC hand in their mission statement. I remember reading something about that. TLC goes over the storylines and they are told ahead of time what the storyline for that episode will be.

I don't think Kate needs fertility meds as an excuse, she's been rough on Jon since the shows first aired, fertility treatments or not. I think it's widely accepted that Kate is not a very nice person when it comes to Jon.

I haven't read/heard of one person that knows Kate coming out and defending Kate. And even with Jon's "female friend troubles" he's still the one that people that know them friends/family support. ymmv

I am sure with all the mileage TLC has gotten out of this family every legal i has been dotted and every t crossed. To not have done so would be equivalent to paying a million plus for a thoroughbred yearling at auction and then cutting one or two of its legs off! No network is that stupid!

And, yes, I have been to an auction in Lexington, KY, where several yearlings - who had only stood under trees with their moms and romped around the pastures with their fellow yearlings - brought upwards of a million dollars just based on their bloodlines! }
