Jon and Kate Plus Eight

[SWTXBelle]

Well, it might not be okay to simply say he is miserable in his marriage based on this one incident - but when you put your life on a reality show, and spend a great deal of the time on it looking miserable (I'm thinking especially of the last interview of the season which I caught because my mother insisted on watching . .. ) you've got to expect people to draw their own conclusions. Just like any other reality show, you will be judged based on the show - look at how people love/hate teams on TAR, or Hell's Kitchen, or Survivior. Do they know those people? No - but you do get to observe and then form an opinion.

Some JK+8 kool-aid drinkers would defend Jon were he found naked in a room with a prostitute - when I first told my mother about this, she immediately said "US Weekly makes things up." It simply could NOT be true, and now that Jon has actually apologized and said what he did was wrong, she still isn't convinced. So I imagine the show will continue, and this will be a little bitty bump in the road.

So maybe I'm TOTALLY wrong. Maybe Kate and Jon are happy as clams at high tide, and Jon was simply discussing great works of literature at 2 a.m. while Kate was out of town with his purely platonic female friend whose actual name is Babe, thus making us all look foolish for thinking anything untoward. Maybe - but I doubt it. I also have to ask - if what he did wasn't wrong, why would he apologize? (Cynical answer is obvious, I know - to preserve his image for the show. )
