Thanks to everyone who responded to my spanking questions.

Rissa, I hope the announcement is no biggie and that you are right about us groaning on Tues. morning. I have a bad feeling about this though. If they do split now, I am just sick for the kids. It seems too soon to split. Sometimes there are deal breakers though.

Oh, Please NO Bob, NO! Because then we'd need another show in a year to address who's baby it is!

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part but it could be that they want to address the tabloid stories and let us know that they are committed to staying together and are seeing a marriage counselor???? I really hope they can get it together for those beautiful children.

Mamabatsy- they may be it.

I was thinking it could be something minor like they're going to homeschool the kids, they are going to get regular jobs, etc. After all that hype!
Or that the next celebrity guest will be one of the psycologists that have hosted TLC's marriage shows they used ot have on. Like Rabbi Shmuley...

I'm hoping your right Mamabatsy, cause if they're having a "special" to annouce their divorce, that's just wrong and shame on TLC too, cause promoting it like that would be HORRIBLE.

I don't think them getting regular jobs would be minor,lol..Actually,think it could be the best thing?? Not making fun of your post,I agree about the "teasers" TLC throws out,just reading that brought that thought to mind.Got me thinking now,hmmm.

It's pretty certain that the announcement will be them splitting up. It's no secret that they aren't together as a couple. They'll spin it as they've just grown apart and have differing visions of their futures. I don't think they'll play the blame game, at least not until the lawyers start getting more involved. They'll say they love their kids and will do the best for them. Their 15 mins are almost over, thank goodness. And as usual, poor kids! I suspect if they didn't do the show and the fame didn't come they'd have worked harder to keep the family intact.

I think they'd be divorcing show or no show, multiples or not... It's not terribly surprising when a couple that gets married that young calls it quits in their 30's..
Throw in a media spotlight, constant house full of people, a Peter-Pan and a control freak, no longer financially dependant upon each other... Yup, that's a totally predictable divorce.. Sad for the kids that it's not only being broadcast to the world, but that such a personal & painful event in their lives will live on indefinitely in re-runs and on youtube..

I don't see how they can get regular jobs at this time. They are hunted and watched by the paps and media.

This pic has been floating around. Maybe the announcement is that he's quitting.

Oh, I said I wasn't going to do this, and I did it, I googled them and came across this video which I think must be clips from Mondays's upcoming show and Kate is sitting there with Kleenex and tears in her eyes. It's very sad.

It takes you away from tvch, so if you x it out when it's done, you won't be in tvch any longer. Sorry, I don't know any other way to do links.

I didn't mean to say that them getting jobs is minor but it sure is different than breaking up. Even the clip that Happymom posted is tense.

Very sad clip. I feel very bad and sad for Kate.

My guess is that Jon's friends and family watched the show and told John to grow a set after watching Kate boss him around so much. And I bet they would still be together if there were no show. Cuz I bet even though Kate was pretty dominant, that he was okay with it.

I can't believe he went to the trouble of leveling all that area and then....boom. Very sad for Jon; anything he does is wrong/undermined.

The best thing that could happen now is that they decide to run away from the show, get counseling, and count their (8) blessings. But that won't happen, so I guess I can keep dreaming.

When did Jon start smokin' pot? And yes, poor Kate, why didn't she just let Jon put the houses where he wanted? It's like she cannot help herself. She knew she should not make a deal, but she did...

I am beginning to smell something fishy.
Whatever the announcement is going to be, TLC is sure going to be there to cash in!

If I tape it with my old TV set rather than DVR it, they can't count me as a viewer/household, right? I never get to watch it real time anyways. But DD said they will count the dvr/tivos. True?

I'm not married and I don't have kids, but when I hear a woman say, "My kids always come first with me," I'm a bit disturbed by it. At some point your husband needs to come first, and you need to come first to him -- some times the kids need not to be the priority.

My dad said something to me after one of my brothers' many weddings. Marriage isn't 50-50. It's 100-100. If you give 50% expecting the other person to meet you halfway, you're only giving half of what you can to your marriage. My parents were married 55 years when my dad died 7 years ago; they raised four kids. I think he was on to something there.

Prisoner#6, your dad is a wise man!

But I do think when the kids are that young, you do tend to think/worry about them a bit more. Later it will be spouse first again.

I hate to admit to this, but my two daughters probably have better instincts than myself. We used to watch them together, since Jon is half Asian just like my two girls. (I know he's half Korean and mine are half Chinese.) We joked about the fact that's probably how our grand-children might look like one day, since we live in a small town where the only other four Chinese families run Motel or Restaurant. (Now that they're in colleges, it's totally different!)

But way back when school just started, in our phone convos when I mentioned J&K, DDs said they'd quit watching since it feels so fake. They said there's not going to be a good outcome one day. They hoped the divorce would be the worst thing ever coming out of this show. I thought they were trying to be sophisticated, distancing themselves from what they watch w/ old Mommy before! ....

Even so, I'm with Rissa on this:

I can't figure out what to do with anything Kevin/Jodi have said. First it was that they haven't been a part of their lives for a year then they go on to say Jon came personally to fill them in on intensely personal information? Jon/Kate are so angry with them that they haven't let them have contact with the children but have made sure they are aware of all their issues?

All we can do now is wait.
If the announcement isn't going to be about divorce, I don't want the kids to feel like that's a request from the mess!

I watched the video links that were posted up-thread re. the next episode of J&K and their announcement. Wow! Jon says he's changed. I'll say: when did he start wearing the HUGE diamond earrings in both ears like professional athletes do so often? That's not a change for the better, imo!
