Jon and Kate Plus Eight

[gee_ess]

I just had a horrible, awful thought: What if the new version of this show was a reality show that followed a couple through marriage counseling? Yikes! The audience seems to love it since that is a little bit of what the show has been for the past few episodes.

I can see dollar signs in TLC and Kate's eyes now...TLC's "Jon and Kate Get it Straight" or "Jon and Kate - It's Not Too Late"

Sick, I know...but stranger things have happened!

If there was ever a situation where 2 parents should stay together because of the kids, this is it! There are 8 children involved here and it will be hard for one parent (most likely Kate) to be the sole or majority care giver. Even though Kate is not blameless, I feel that Jon is very immature and still has a lot of growing up to do. He said in the interview that he was partly excited to start his new life. It sounds to me like he can't wait to not be a full time dad and feels that he was possibly missing out on his youth but now is not the time to think about yourself. It should only be about the kids at this point and then if they wanted to divorce they could have done that when the children are older and less needy. No one wants to be single with 8 kids!

Eeeeee! Don't give them ideas! LOL

I think that the Jon & Kate + 8 show is over. Their ratings have been going down since the season opener.... and now that it seems clear that there isn't even a glimmer of hope of them fixing it, people will stop watching. People love situations like this and even though there is trouble, they want to see at least hope of a happy ending and will keep watching to see how it all pans out.

Without that glimmer of hope, people will naturally care less & less.
