Jon & Kate Plus 8 Season 5: Premiere’s record ratings

According to bostonherald.com, the hour-long premiere episode attracted an amazing 9.8 million viewers. That was nearly double the amount for the season four finale in March. And supposedly it was the cable channel’s most watched episode ever.

    Why is I got the feeling that all kate thinks about is money. It was very amusing watching when she made a comment about having the dog and the additional expense. How amusing was that? Considering Kate nor Jon have real jobs. Making 75k an episode I highly doubt the extra expense of dogs is a burden as well as the new over a million dollar home they just purchased. The show opening showed Jon who really couldn’t careless about his wife. I can understand that she seems really mean. I hardly ever hear these parents tell there kids they love them. I tell my 3yr old daughter tons how much I love her. Jon and Kate in the paper over and over just seems they are money hunger parents exploiting these children for a dollar. That is my opinion.

    I saw the new episode & I sure hope they get their act together for the sake of these kids. You can tell their is a lot of anger coming from Kate, not so much from Jon. If there is another person or persons involved they need to step out & let Jon & Kate work this out.
