Just saw previews for the season finale. They seem to discuss the problem between Jon & Kate. Little convenient to me that pictures & rumors just happened to come out a couple of weeks before the show that talks about some problems.

BTW I saw the so called party pictures, and it just looked like Jon was posing with a couple of fans. That's it.

I tend to have a personality like Kate and my EgBob is a lot like Jon, so over the weekend I dubbed ourselves "Jon & Kate minus 8".

Julie, I think it's probably the novelty. I also think the fact that the children are all older as we are being introduced to them makes a difference. Eric and Betty do seem more relaxed in comparrison, but I think Kate has relaxed the older the babies have gotten too.
Last night when Betty was saying 'when the babies were born, anyone who walked in the door was given a job. you want a baby? sure..here's one', i thought to myself 'when Kate did that she was blasted for using people!'

Who blasted Kate for that? I think that was before they had a show.

Betty is much more relaxed than Kate. But I still think Kate is a good mom.

Blah on the hateful website.

You could see the tension on last nights show between Jon & Kate. I'm hoping it's not being played up for ratings. I'm afraid it's being shown for the reason to end the show. [Tho if ending the show is what J&K need to do to make their marriage have a chance, good for them for realizing it.] I'll miss the kids. I've been following them before they were born.

Is the show ending for sure? Wow! I was wondering what they would do since the young ones start kindergarten in the fall.

I didn't see last night's show. I'll have to catch a repeat of it. Is next week the finale?

How does everyone think Kate's book will sell? Will it be enough to support them for awhile?

it's just the season ending isn't it?
i got tickled at one of the earlier shows where they were joking about neither one of them leaving the other cause they didn't want to be the custodial parent. i think they could be go through a tough time...heck, who doesn't, but they know the grass isn't greener.

I got a great sense of sadness from both Jon and Kate in last nights episode. Sure Jon was having fun on the slopes and Kate handled the outing like the pro she is but I sensed sadness. Usually when there is trouble in paradise anger and is involved which means they can work back to happiness but when you get to the sadness part it's usually over, you've already mournded the passing of the marriage.

I hope things work out but my often wrong intuition tells me neither are interested in giving it another try.

I was trying to pay attention to their body language when they were interviewed. It seemed that they were as far a part as that loveseat would allow and she didn't hit him once, or touch him at all, which she usually does.

I did think it was weird that they were split up on separate vacations, but maybe they needed some time apart.

The kids worlds will be turned upside down if they actually split. These two parents, imo, were exemplary parents and their love and devotion for them was all consuming. It seemed like they were no longer lovers and best friends but corporate officers running a family business. Put fame and new found income into the mix and I guess they get to become another statistic of a broken family. It's very sad.

we do not know for a fact that this family is broken! at this point it's speculation and gossip.

from In Touch Weekly...

Jon Gosselin is setting the record straight, releasing a statement that reads

β€œIt is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumors and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would. This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture -β€” such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context. As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple.”

Annie for me I already posted that the picture to me looked just a typical fan picture. I do not believe the rumors he was out partying around. I will not entertain those rumors until one of them says it themselves or I see it myself. Since I'm not going to PA anytime soon, it will have to be if they talk about it.

What I'm basing my feelings - and that's all they are - on are how Jon & Kate reacted with each other on last night's show and on a preview for next week's season finale.

Last night's show it was quite obvious that they were doing their best NOT to touch each other. It was very stilted. Very strained. It didn't flow. Not much on it's own, I could have thought it was just an off night.

Then the preview for next weeks show. First shown is some of the snarky nasty comments to each other from previous shows. Then that they are actually going to talk about rumors, and the fact that they are going through a rough patch. That it's hard on both of them, and then Jon starts to say something and just says it's really hard for him.

I don't think they are split up. I think it's a rough patch. Simple as that. Whether they get through it or not, who knows. If it's that rough, maybe they need a break - if not total ending - from the show and start to live their private life private.

On another board they say that in People magazine Jon admits to bad judgement in going out for drinks in that environment, and that he was staying with his mom because she had surgery on her foot and needed help.

That, plus the pictures show a typical fan pose, is enough for me to believe he didn't cheat. Not that I believed it in the first place.

I do wonder how this story affects the way we read their body language...i was doing it too.
I think a rough patch is one thing. To declare a family broken or split up over speculation is another.

They have not split. As far as they've said, they have no plans to do so. The show is not ending at this time.

I don't think they are split or even near a split, but I do think they are having some troubles.

I don't know the timing but they have had some major changes, moving to the new house, getting the dogs, that could have added some stress. I am sure they will work it out.

Kate probably is really P****d at him and she does need to have control so she is probably going to make him grovel for a while to whip him back in line.

We've been married since '56 and there has been a couple of times I packed DH's bags!! These people have too much invested in their marriage to let it break up.

Well, I can say they are doing much better in their marraige than I am in mine....since mine filed for a divorce Feb 23rd.

We don't see anything after the kids go to bed....and if I remember correctly, they go to bed pretty early. Jon and kate have a little alone time there to regroup. I hope they get it together. Can you imagine a single parent of 8? I don't think separation is an option for them at this point. THey are both needed!

I think it is really great that Jon and Cara have a shared love of skiing and can go enjoy it without imposing it on anyone else in the family. I haven't finished that episode so cannot comment beyond that.

As for the family with two sets of twins and then sextuplets.. please start a thread for that discussion.. we already had a mixed thread and this one broke out for Jon/Kate show.

I missed the most recent JK+8 (Monday's episode) so I thought it might be run again at 6pm (CST) yesterday. Instead they had one of the kids by the dozen episodes.

And I fell in love.

With the Goyna family and specifically the oldest son. I just hope my Ryan grows up to be a kid like him. I doubt they'd have a show on this family, but it would be cool if they did. I just loved how they showed how much this mom (and dad) love their son and what a great and loving son he was. Plus this family seemed so much more "normal" than some of the "dozen kids" families. Maybe cuz they "only" had 12 kids!

Time will tell about Jon & Kate. I think it is good timing that their season has ended. Hopefully taping has ended too so they can have a little down time. I do think they are both great parents.
