I sure don't know.. contract, no contract.. suit, no suit, money, no money. HE sued TLC and they sued him, so it wasn't a one sided settling, AFAIK. About the only thing I do know is I wouldn't trust Jon to go into a contract with him. Jon is pretty old to be a batboy and I do think Jon would have walked away and no I don't think he's the greatest dad in the world. But.. just my opinion. He's a bit immature to be a really great dad.. or partner.

I don't trust Kate Major any more than I trust Jon, but found this interesting. http://www.popeater.com/2010/10/21/jon-gosselin-apology-kate-major-comments/?icid=main%7Chtmlws-main-n%7Cdl2%7Csec3_lnk1%7C179173 Although Jon Gosselin just tweeted a seemingly sincere and thought-out apology to his children and former wife, Kate, one person who doesn't believe he is a new man is ex-girlfriend Kate Major, who Jon dated after his ugly breakup from the mom of eight. "Everything and anything that comes out of Jon Gosselin's mouth is a lie," Major tells me. "The only good thing that came out of meeting Jon was gaining a close friendship with his other ex, Hailey [Glassman]." Kate M. thinks that Hailey also doesn't believe Jon has seen the light. "Hailey and I realize that Jon is a sick individual who is only out for himself. He used to get mad when people said his kids shouldn't be on TV," Kate says. "Jon used to say that if it wasn't for the show that the children wouldn't have all the opportunities they had, like traveling and being able to support eight children." Jon's Apology: I am acutely aware of the mistakes I made in 2009 and I am ashamed of the choices I made. I have apologized to Kate, my family, and to my friends. Through counseling I have learned to own my actions. My goal is to move forward in a positive direction. Read the whole thing here. Kate charges that Jon only changed his tune after violating his contract with TLC, saying, "Once he wasn't on TV his tone changed! It's all about Jon, not his kids!" To me, Jon does seem to have changed his tune and his regrets about having put his children on TV appear sincere. However, Kate's biggest criticism about the one-time TV pop are far more damaging. "What about how the $200,000 he stole from Hailey?" Major asks, referring to previous allegations. "Or the fact that I had a written agreement with Jon for $100,000 when I resigned from my job at Star Magazine?" And instead of tweeting about his regrets or feelings, Kate's advice for Jon is simple: "Get a job and learn how to right all the wrongs you have done!"

My cable guide is showing a new episode is on tonight, Sunday, 10/7. The ep title is "Alaska, Here We Come!", so I'm pretty sure it is the episode where she and the kids meet the Palins. My guide is showing it's a one hour show.

I'm anxious to see the show as I've been up there many times and it's alway fun to see someone else's take on the scenery.

I just finished watching the Alaska episode. It was beautiful, but the screaming during the whale watching started my head aching. And they didn't show anything about the Gosselins meeting the Palins. Maybe that footage is going to be shown on Sarah's new show at some point. I have no idea.

I'm guessing that is the case, Naja.. One time when I went whale watching, we didn't see much in the way of whales.. backs but no tails, but then suddenly a huge pod of dolphins surrounded the boat and I have to say that there were many noises and lots of smiles. It was a true peak experience. I was sure envying them seeing the whales like that.

Since this took place around July (Kate was in the mags and they talked about it) are the rumors true that the show is cancelled?

Sea, I agree about envying them seeing the whales. That was totally amazing. I don't often watch the show and really only watched this time to see the beautiful Alaska footage. What a treat to see all those whales!

I think these kids are too stresses and need the time to be kids. I saw this article last night. www.associatedcontent.com/article/5996934/ kate_plus_8_kate_gosselins_kids_expelled.html

there sure was a lot of opinons in that article Pippin - (mainly I got the impression that she is passionate that fathers should be involved in children's lives - hard to dispute of course - she mentions Jon moving down the block to be in their lives daily - but to tell here is the quote: Jenny Masche of 'Raising Sextuplets' wants the same for her six children. She is in the process of divorcing her husband of six years, Bryan Masche. There is still time for Jenny to stop the divorce, but it looks like she has a roving eye for another man and does not want to go back to Bryan. Her six three year olds will suffer due to her selfishness. and I dont know how Kate can homeschool 2 or 3 (with the others not wanting to be home - some can be homeschooled? And speaking as a mom who has contemplated homeschooling based on negative school reactions - bottom line, its not easy, n ot easy to decide to homeschool, not easy to remain in situations) - and the article says she has "lost her 11th nanny" and then adds a few more comments - but like this thread has always gone back to - its just sad for the children...

The twins, Cara and Mady and the sextuplets, Aaden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah have had behavioral issues ever since their parents very public and very nasty divorce. Surprise, surprise. Sad, very sad.

That article has a lot of "personal opinion" in it, but there are other articles out there now which only state the facts, Alexis and Collin have been expelled and are to be home-schooled. Weren't Lexi and Collin two of the more sensitive and sweetest of the group? It's hard to remember at this point ... at least for me. I find all of this incredibly sad. Some kids have problems despite our best efforts, but the Gosselin kids have been exposed to things none of our kids would have been. I agree these kids should have been in counseling from the beginning. Their parents most certainly should have been and possibly, all of them have been for all we know. I can't imagine how terrible these kids must have behaved to be expelled, but perhaps their private school has much less tolerance to any indiscretions. I just feel so bad for the kids. They didn't ask for any of this. Unfortunately, too many kids are exposed to bad relationships and bad parenting. And none of them have been on a TV show.

I finally got around to watching the Alaska show, and the kids have definitely lost their "cute" factor. Every interview was so over the top with their antics. I loved them as wee ones, but they're just acting bratty now.

The sad thing is, they are acting bratty now, but they don't know any better. My heart goes out to them, they need help and they should have had it long ago, but it's not too late, I hope.

IMO, It's really time for Kate to step away from the 'limelight' and focus on those kids and their schooling etc..etc..

Has she really been in the 'limelight' all that much lately? I haven't seen her in any of the rags in the grocery store line! LOL
