Jon Gosselin -- I'll Ride This Thing Out

61. Last night was the first time I actually felt sorry for Kate - but I think she still doesn't get it.
The "crooked houses" - another freebie in exchange for the plug. Kate said something about that the kids will have so many good childhood memories in those houses. NO...the kids will remember that the houses came and their parents split was announced on the very same show.
And did you see when the kids told Jon - "Daddy go away we are doing our interviews!" Those poor kids looked confused the whole show - even Cara was acting strange.
Can't believe Jon and his pierced ears - a big rock in each one. And the OCC chopper - now he thinks he's 19 again. Sorry, Jon, no time to relive your teen years when you've got 8 kids.
But Kate still doesn't get it - while I felt sorry for the fact that I don't think she wants to split, she still doesn't FULLY acknowledge the damage she did/does with her control issues. There were dozens of instances on camera where she hit or belittled Jon and I would cringe. It was still all about her job, her kids and I don't think she thinks she has any ownership in the marriage faling apart.
Both are to blame, but it's too bad that Jon just wants to move on and not go to counseling to try and see if it can be saved. They both always claimed to be "Christians" - they should try and work it out. Every marriage hits rough patches, it's all about sticking thru it. Poor kids.

62. Just take the show off air, for the sake of the kids. Jon needs to get over his mid life crisis, his sports car, motorcycle, blah blah hanging out with college kids. DEAR JON WAKE UP YOU ARE JUST AN OVERWEIGHT 32 YEAR OLD FUGLY BALDING DUDE. Enough with the "I'm only 32 years old" crap, you have eight kids so unless you GET A REAL JOB good
luck with child support.
THE Apartment hunting in New York bwahaa.

MAJOR DOUCHE BAG JON....
LOOKS LIKE A FOOL WITH HIS ED HARDY GEAR AND PIERCED EARS... BWAHAAHAH

63. I watched last nights episode, and for the first time I felt sad for Kate. she showed some emotion while Jon well he acted like and a... He didn't to care. I was hoping that they were going to announce counseling, mediator or quit the show in order to reconnect with eachother.

64. You people are mean.

This is a divorce and NO ONE ESCAPES THE PAIN OF IT. PERIOD.

Get off Kate's back. Jon chose to commit adultery REGARDLESS of her behavior.
He re-signed those TLC contracts. Remember he quit his job to participate in this crap.
Jon is a cheater and a liar and free so make the most of it.

For your sake Kate, its going to be tough but you'll make it.

65. I don't dee anything wrong with doing the show but I think Kate and Jon agreed to too many days and months of filming. They all need a private life mostly the kids. We have to remember they are not famous or actors but I think the fame , money and perks became first before the kids From what I see and hear that Kate was the one who wouldn't give any of it up, I may be wrong but I doubt it. Fame,perks and money are never more important than keeping the family as a unit and sane. It's obvious Kate was always an Alpha female and Jon a wimp but she took it to far during the seasons and treated him like a child. I don't think Jon was ever bright or much of man in charge but she did treat him bad.
However I think Jon just wants a new life that doesn't include his kids much. I hate how men can walk away and still be considered a parent when they never have to put the kids center. The man can get any job he wants and doesn't have to work around the kids, he can come and go as he please minus the few days a month he see's the kids. I think at the end of the day they both are exausted with that many kids and being divorced means they both can have some free time. Shame on them both.

67. I will be in the minority here but I feel sorry for Kate. Jon has issues. It's clear he wants out to try to recapture his youth. Too bad Jon, you should have thought of that before you ventured into this. New sportscar, hanging with very young girls, new ear piercings.....get over yourself. Grow up. Kate, hold your head high. Nobody forces a man to cheat, he walks away on his own accord. He should have spoken to Kate about these issues before making the bad judgements he did. Good Jon, go and have a great life until the money runs out. Someday you'lll wake up and find yourself 40 and still trying to go back in time without your family. Who the heck wants a guy with 8 kids? Nice job Jon.

68. Why don't these losers get real jobs and quit exploiting their kids?

69. She does need a new hair-cut. I'm not even kidding. Ever since that tummy-tuck, he never looked at her the same way. EIther way, both of them are gold diggers. It's all Kanye Wests' fault. I just watched like a season, just to see what all the hub-ub was about. I, you, America needs to get a life. And Jon and Kate need to enjoy it. Because heaven forbid they each get 5 million nothings!

70. Jon seems as if he could give a sh*% about the whole thing. He actually said he is exicted about this change to start a new chapter in his life. Who the fu*% says that about a divorce when children are involved?? If he really is moving to NY that proves it right there. Anyone who cared to see their children at any change possible would atleast stay in driving distance to the children if possible. He seems like an immature idiot. I know Kate is bitchy but I am sure she was always this way and he finally just woke up so now the kids have to suffer. I think Kate truly is upset about the divorce...maybe she will be less bitchy to her next man. Jon grow up you are so pathetic...no young girl is going to want your fat @ss especially with 8 kids!!!

72. I do feel sorry for Kate - but seriously, don't you have to wonder about someone's personality when their parents live an hour away and she hasn't seen or spoken to them in 4 years?? She pushed them out of her life, and now she did the same with Jon. Now Jon is no saint, but I hope Kate really sees herself before she alienates those kids when they are teens. Right now she can control them, but they will maybe also grow up and resent her. I also see her personality in the haircut, tannings, and love for the spa. Good for her that she is out there traveling and making money - but at what price??

73. Ellen Degeneres once said that "even if an ending relationship is the right decision, it still hurts" Speaking from experience, sometimes people grieve a lost relationship long before they choose to leave and the leaving part is the easy part. I did not watch the show because I do not agree with this kind of media exposure. However, it is news everywhere and I am sorry to hear that something that is painful and should be private is happening to all of them.

74. Enough already with these people!!!

75. You know my children and I used to watch this show because it was a good,wholesome show it was positive there was no swearing, no violence. Over the years You can see what fame and fortune can do to a good christian family. I watched it because it wasn't "faming" it was at home kid's playing,,now all you see are celebrities on there and 2 people fighting, I have discontinued watching and will not ever watch it again since they made their annoucement, because all I heard in that announcement was how the kid's best interest was in mind but yet where in the world is the kid's best interest in mind when dad lives 40 or 50 miles away and mom is going on book tours talking about a book where her "soulmate," her best friend" her husband is her right arm and now he's paying her alimony and child support and they can't even be civil enough to sit on a couch together to talk about their kids. I feel pain and sympathy for these kids because all I see is a mom wanting to be an actress or talk show host and dad who wants to be a bachelor...I can't understand and maybe I'm not meant to understand because I don't know all the details and maybe I don't want to know all the details like did they try counciling, all these companies are throwing out all these materials to them but has anyone offered them free marriage counciling? I'm just really disappointed to see these kids go through this, not only do they have a strike against them because they are TV kids but now they are a TV Family that has been ripped apart because mom and dad want to be selfish. It's sickening!!
