'Jon & Kate Plus 8' minus Jon Gosselin
Why the reality show will soon be just 'Kate Plus 8'
Jon Gosselin: What next?
(Scott Harrison/Retna Ltd./Corbis)
Jon Gosselin "has been booted off" Jon & Kate Plus 8, said Elizabeth Snead in the Los Angeles Times. Since Jon and Kate Gosselin filed for divorce, ratings for their reality show have dropped, but "TLC thinks people will come back to watch Kate Gosselin and those adorable kids" in the renamed Kate Plus 8. "We're shocked! You mean people don't approve of this separated man having sex with nannies, dating tabloid reporters, hanging out in Vegas, and handing off his dogs to their breeder?" I'll watch the new show—it will "be interesting to watch a single mom cope with eight kids."
Jon Gosselin won't lose any sleep over this, said Breanne L. Heldman and Ken Baker in E! Online. He reportedly "wants nothing to do with" TLC because he believes the network "has exploited his family." He's also "been trying to get out of his contract for months and hopes to be able to walk away from the couch-chatting gig sooner rather than later."
"If the show continues with just that one change," said Kate Shatzkin in The Baltimore Sun, "it won't make much difference to me." Jon Gosselin has hardly been in the new episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 anyway, and "watching the little Gosselin girls have tea with their newly single mother on yet another manufactured outing was like watching paint dry."

Posted by pat wilson, Tuesday, September 29, 2009, 4:54 pm we love kate. we think they should do commercials and a cooking show. it was reality taking cara out late to dr by herself. that is how it is for single moms. Jon wont be in the spot light now which is what he wanted. We were hoping they would get back together but we see how they have grown in different directions. this is real life. and tea parties are fun. so are the ranch and ocean days fun. We want to see maddy ride a horse.
Posted by Makenna, Tuesday, September 29, 2009, 5:54 pm I have always loved, Jon and Kate Plus 8, and I couldn't believe the divorce. I love there house and the kids and Kate. I don't think she's done anything wrong really, and i love Cara and Hannah and I hope they are doing good because I know how it feels to be oldest for Cara, and my friend knows how it feels to have your parents split. And if what you guys say about Jon handing one of his dogs over to a breeder, I just down right hate him for that then! It's not right to do that unless Kate agrees to! I hope Kate and the kids are good!
Posted by JH, Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 7:45 pm I hadn't really seen the show before all the drama, but watched a Jon Kateathon this past weekend. What was interesting was how happy and engaged Kate was at the beginning and how seemingly clueless Jon was. He had to be led to do the simplest things. On the more recent episodes, Kate is very brittle and very angry. She is taking a lot of heat for this, but I would be angry and brittle too. She is not the same person she was due to having to take the reins, make decisions and almost forcefully lead Jon to behave like an adult.
