Layla, I have been obsessed with Big Brother and the finale is tonight! And the new survivor starts! Too busy debating who might win Big Brother to be on this board a lot recently.
Any of the final three could win Big Brother! The uncertainty makes it more fun to debate!

@Kateplusmy8 Your #1Priority > your KIDS BEST INTERESTS! You would never stoop to bringing a man into their world just for TV ratings!
But Kate kept Jon around after the marriage was over, just for TV ratings! Kate and she promised the kids that she and their father would be together forever. Were the kids her #1 priority then? She blatantly lied to them.
Milo is nuts. It is time for another leave of absence and another shot at addiction rehab.
So i'm at a country club on business and they have TMZ Live on but it's muted. They are talking about TFW but i have no idea what they are saying.
-------------------
Can't you tell them to unmute it? LOL! It is times like that when I am glad that I can read lips.
A book just came out by Michael D'Antonio called
'Never Enough' about Donald Trump.
Too bad TFW didn't think to copyright that phrase, Never Enough.
She could of licensed it out.
Once again, Gladys is talking about the TFW of her fantasies,
and not the real one. She said TFW would never stoop to bringing
a man into her kids' world just for TV ratings. But she certainly
stooped to being part of a vow renewal with a man to whom she
no longer wanted to stay married -- not only for TV ratings, but to
get a free luxury vacation in Hawaii. And she stooped to repeating
to her children during the episode that Mommy and Daddy would
be together forever, when her own timeline of the marriage's
demise proves she was already done with him.
As for me, I have been busy with my work as I always am at the start of the school year...and busy with my new puppy - obedience classes etc, walking, playing with her- and worried she may be ill. Her pre-spaying bloodwork came back with low protein levels combined with vomiting and allergies of unknown origin so I am worried. But I have found the discussions on here interesting as always.

-----------------
I don't think Kate ever left her life! She was just tucked under Milo's blanket for a little while.
From the Beatles Rubber Soul:
¨But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more¨
Milo doesn't have the balls to ask Kate if Jeff was supposed to be on some of the episodes. She's afraid that she won't answer, or if Kate does respond, Milo doesn't really want to hear the truth. She tried several times before to get Kate to set the record straight on some issues, but Kate never acknowledged her.
Whatever happened to Milo's squatting challenge?
Ah, Yogi. Such a sad day in Yankees baseball. We knew it was coming, but darn it, not just yet!

Farewell, Lawrence Peter Berra, #8. You are now safe at home.
Once again, Gladys is talking about the TFW of her fantasies,
and not the real one. She said TFW would never stoop to bringing

&&&&&&&&&&
She certainly was. It was known in the community that the marriage was on the rocks when they went to Hawaii, and it was over when they settled on the house. The whole thing was one orchestrated charade and the children were the real victims there.
Gladys is delusional. She has absolutely no idea what people in this area knew about Kate during that time, and how much she was disliked here. Keeping Jon on board most certainly was for television ratings and to keep that money coming in.
When Milo tweets her undying love for Kate, professing to know what Kate would and would not do, I just want to bang my head on the wall. Then I realize that it is just not worth the aggravation because when someone is so deep in celebrity worship there is no cure.
If seeing Kate through rose-colored glasses somehow keeps Milo happy and entertained and she believes that she is Kate's great protector, then so be it. I just hope this adoration doesn't turn into something sinister. I do wonder, though, what has caused this desperate love for Kate -- what really is wrong on her own home-front. In a way, it is kind of sad.

@xsmokeweed4life @popems42 @TLC Geez, do u always lie? Who is against child labor laws? Obviously kateplusmy8 & TLC are abiding by PA laws!
No, it is not obvious. We don't know if they are or are not. They certainly knew before that they needed work permits but thought they could get away without obtaining them. They did just that and were found out. I have no idea how they got off with no fines and just a slap on the wrist, but they did.
I don't know who is keeping an eye on them right now, as far as hours of filming, set teacher, filming where no alcohol is served, etc., but it would be interesting to find out. Obviously if they film out of state they are not bound by PA laws, but they have filmed here.
"You can observe a lot by watching." We watched you over the years and loved you. RIP Yogi.
I've just finished watching "Hand Of God". It's an Amazon original program and stars Ron Perlman and Dana Delany. It's really worth a watch.
I guess nobody much cares about TFW any more. Her timeline really didn't have much action today. She'd better buy some more bots. I did think this tweet was so typical of her fans because it's all Jon's fault.

I agree. To semi-repeat a comment I made way up yonder, Kate celebrated the traditional 9 year / 2 month marriage milestone with never before met very distant relatives of Jon & sealed the deal with an awkward hug. And the kids can relive that farce & watch their mother lie to them about their parents staying together forever any time they please just by logging on to the internet.

Oh, my gosh, NJGal. I was thinking about his Yogi-isms earlier this evening and that one came to mind and I thought of Kate! We observed and we watched and we didn't like what we saw.

Someone here said "The real story always trickles out". The real story never benefits Kate for some reason. If you want to understand Milo... you have to read the tweet with a sarcastic undertone. It's the only way.

'Eight years after his nasty split from ex-wife Kate Gosselin'
Has it been EIGHT :-) years? wow
I just had to share this with you all. Someone on twitter responded to Milo's asinine statement that Kate would never stoop so low as to bring a man into their world just for TV ratings. This was their response. "Like hell she wouldn't. This bitch would bring Satan into the house and give him a BJ in front of the kids for ratings". I laughed so hard at that one I almost peed my pants. The truly disturbing thing is that this person isn't too far off the mark in their assessment of Kate.
Could TLC still be filming because there is an overseas market for this witch? It makes no sense otherwise.

I always thought that there were a few fans who were a bit sharper than the average sheeple. I was wrong.
Jill and Jessa Duggar are getting their specials.
Layla
Rebird
Your grandbaby is so cute.
Layla said... 38
Jill and Jessa Duggar are getting their specials.
-----------------------
From an article about their specials:
""What we will be following in these specials is Jessa preparing for her first child," TLC Executive Vice President and General Manager Nancy Daniels told The Associated Press, "and we'll be watching Jill preparing to make a major move to Central America with her family, which we know is something our audience will be interested in."
The project, Daniels said, came together quickly "after talking with the girls and understanding that this was something they wanted to do.
"We know that our audience is really excited about what's been going on with Jill and Jessa as they move into young adulthood," said Daniels. "And now they're both at the precipice of big changes. With what was happening in their lives in the next few months, it felt like now is the time (for the specials), and we got going pretty quickly."
The specials will be following a recent documentary TLC commissioned and aired to raise awareness of child sexual abuse nationwide. Both women participated in that film, titled "Breaking the Silence."
"They thought it was an important issue, and they showed an incredible amount of courage in sharing their story," Daniels said. "We were struck by that courage, and by how they are moving forward. Our audience continues to be engaged with what's going on in their lives.
"There's no doubt it's been a tough few months on the family, and we've obviously been in close contact with them as they've been going through it," Daniels added."
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/tlc-specials-focus-duggar-daughters-jill-jessa-34009075
Courage in showing their stories? What courage? They said it was no big deal and they were over it. They blamed the media more than they blamed Josh.
Well tlc followed that playbook perfectly. Act outraged, cancel the show, give them a very special sex abuse awareness program to tie up loose ends, wait for the story to fade then bam, new episodes ordered. I think they are underestimating their ex duggar fans big time. We'll see how they react.
TLC filming is probably another reason that Derrick and Jill are taking a month's vacation from their "missionary" work.
Also, from the abc.com article:
" Production begins soon on the programs, announced Thursday, with an anticipated airdate by year-end for at least the first of them. Two or three are currently planned, the network said."
I can just imagine Kate when she hears the news. These specials will probably push the airing of her new episodes even further back on the TLC schedule.
"There's no doubt it's been a tough few months on the family, and we've obviously been in close contact with them as they've been going through it," Daniels added."
*****
Soooooooo... Jill and her permabeard bilked fans out of money all the while knowing that they were going to be back on TLC making major bank.
Nice.
They're just like the Kardashians- hooked on fame.
That must be the 'loose ends' the Dillards came back to tie up.
I wonder if TLC paid for their trip back for the wedding.
KIAT (#42), yep, it looks like we might be watching that
back-to-school shopping episode some time around Easter.
Arrrrrgh! All the Duhgar clan dressed as pirates to practice what the public would be groaning as their spawns two specials were announced. Another baby! Dullgar. A pretend move to another country bankrolled by the Lying Channel. Dullgar. No way they are staying too far from daddy duhgar for very long.

If I were one of those gullible followers who donated to their missionary cause, I would be majorly pissed by now. Is this fraud? I have no idea, but even if what they did is legal, morally this is corrupt. They should be ashamed of themselves. However, I guess this is all God's will and they and the multitudes will be blessed.
TLC is still the same; a leopard cannot change its spots. For TLC and the Duggars, money is their god.

Hollister really isn't that bad, especially when they have their clearance sales and jeans for fifteen dollars. Quite often you can find better deals there than at Penney and Kohl's.

What in the world is wrong with these sheeple? Jon, jealous? Um, nope. No way.
TLC really is the most obtuse cable network out there. You know why they do these as specials? Because they know these people (and this includes Gosselin) are a one trick pony when it comes to ratings. They cannot carry a weekly program. These specials should come as no surprise. It's TLC's playbook.
Gee, maybe God will tell Jill's hubby (ya know, since he's in charge and that's never gonna change) that their missionary work is over and they are needed to minister through a TLC camera lens???
I wonder what JimBob will do? After all, those TLC checks are payable to his daughters and their husbands...heres's a thought-maybe JimBob and Michelle can work for them! Lol!!!
Layla, thank you. Did you see my Gb on social media?
Did I miss something? sKate gets dumped by Mr. Moneybags and there's an article about Jon within days? I'm confused. (not the first time and it won't be the last)
Probably Jon was contacted to comment on Jeff Millionaire and he answered some other questions. I don't think there is a conspiracy going on as far as Jon. Would be better just to not have any comment about anything, but why not remind readers he's a DJ these days.

But he didn't bash her; he didn't elaborate. He said it was sad, which is not a new revelation. It is well known in the media that they do not have a relationship, and when considering the parental alienation that goes on in their household, it is sad. That is all he said. Sheeple will grab at anything he says, twist it, and blame him for everything. With all of their insinuations and downright lies about him over the years, I am surprised he has kept his cool as long as he had. I am afraid that one of these days all hell is going to break loose, he will be accused of something and he will not sit still and ignore it.
The parental alienation is very sad indeed. The toll it has to be taking on the kids is terrible.
Tucker's Mom (#63), for TFW to still have acrimony towards her
ex after 8 years is downright cruel to her children. You know, the
ones who, according to Gladys, are TFW's #1 priority. I can't
imagine how painful that must be fore them. And it sure does
make her seem petty and childish.

@msgoody2shoes21 @SandieBellz @Kateplusmy8 PROVE he's not happy & Kate is always on his mind! 😜
lol!! Her name is Kate, not Georgia!
Jon sits home alone, day after day, night after night, just him and Jack Daniels, pining away, wishing for those good old days when Kate berated him, chastised him for breathing too loudly while he stayed home and took care of the kids when she was running around with her Purse Boy. He remembers it fondly and would give anything if things were back the way they were!
Yes, that is it. He thinks about Kate all of the time, wanting her back, jealous of her life, her fame, her celebrity status. Never mind all of her failures and firings and the Kate Curse and how much she is despised by so many. He wants her in his life once again for romantic walks on the beach, traveling to exotic places because she makes everything come alive again.
Yeah, right.
Rhythm (#67), your post reminded me of an old funny Staples
commercial. Remember the dad giddily shopping for school
supplies as "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" played?
I wonder if sometimes Jon has dreams that he's still married
to TFW, and wakes up and remembers he's not, and is positively
giddy with glee and relief at the realization!
But on the other hand, I bet you there are times in her heart
of hearts that TFW misses Jon. Misses having a co-parent,
a partner, a person to turn to for love and support and
companionship. And being a fun-loving person, I bet Jon
brought joy to her life, which she doesn't seem to know
how to produce on her own. And sure doesn't seem to get
from being with her children.

-------------------
Jon could have stayed in that marriage if he had agreed to her terms. He could have continued with that lifestyle, the perks, the trips, the fame, the money. He opted out, and he had to know that things would be financially difficult for him, as well as being bashed about in the media. He knew Kate. He was married to her and he certainly was aware that this would not be an amicable parting, given her nastiness and controlling ways. Nevertheless, he was not happy and chose not to continue on that path.
What is it that the sheeple do not understand about that?
Correct. Why be jealous of something he did not want? Makes no sense.
The sheep are the ones envious of Kate. That's why they support her no matter what. They wish they could have been as devious as her. Have a crop of kids and use them to make money. Riiiiight.
What the sheeple will never address is just how sad it is for the kids that their parents are STILL failing to effectively co-parent.
For the love of everything holy, after 8 years, they should have resolved their differences, even if it meant intensive therapy for the two of them.
I simply don't believe it's Jon at the root of the failure.
We know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that when Kate is done with you, she burns the bridge with the force of Fat Man and Little Boy.
If Jon were just her ex-husband, he would be dead to her. But, because he is her children's father, she is forced to recognize him, although she marginalizes him at every singe turn.
I have no doubt that Kate has fiercely fought to have primary custody so she can control the children and continue to film them so she can make money, stay famous and claim all the credit in raising them.
Tucker's Mom (#73), isn't it funny to contrast the ferocity with
which TFW tries to keep the kids' father out of the picture, with
her comment that being home one week and away the next is
what "works best for her family?" She's like a little child who
wants everything her way, but isn't willing to budge an inch to
facilitate that. There is no doubt in my mind that her anger
towards their father causes pain to those children, and will
ultimately effect all their future relationships -- romances,
friendships, and at work.
TJ Maxx and Marshalls plus clearance all the way for these girls' clothing 'must-haves' (which one girl told my daughter were last season's- imagine!) Luckily they grow out of this clone stage before too long.

The sheeple are up in arms because Kate was mentioned in an article about Jon. Most likely he was asked about her and he just responded that their relationship was "sad".
They tend to forget that Kate also speaks about Jon in interviews. Not only does she speak, she elaborates, unlike Jon. This is from an interview she gave at the TCA's this past January.
""I don't have [a relationship with Jon anymore]," she admitted of her ex-husband. "I give the kids… some of the kids visit and some don't and I keep the peace. That's what I've always done. It's best for the kids."
"I wish that things were better for the kids," she added of her dynamic with Jon. "It's very clear by now that I'm just trying to preserve what relationship he has with them. I do think it's best for them, but, you know, divorce is hard, period. But it's really difficult when one parent is in the sabotaging mode. That's been difficult."

The sheeple think that it's bad if Jon responds to a question about Kate, but it's totally fine when Kate not only responds to a question about Jon but bashes him in the process.
So according to their reasoning, Kate is also jealous of Jon and can't get him off her mind.
Thought this was a funny tweet. Apparently he met TFW at that TLC block party (second tweet below).
@Xxxxxxxx: met both Mickey Mouse and Kate Gosselin this year and I'm pretty sure Mickey had more facial expression

Interesting thoughts about Megyn Kelly from Dr. Glass. Calling her out for the unprofessional twit that she is.
As the host of the show, Megan Kelly’s body language showed that she acted like a school girl by tittering away and covering her eyes as she laughed. ......... she is still a host of a show and needed to act more professionally in my view. Instead of giggling and saying “What did you say?” to her vulgar guest and covering her eyes.

From the article:
'and we'll be watching Jill preparing to make a major move to Central America with her family,'
Jill has been in Central America for several months already, how are they going to get footage of her 'preparing to make a major move?' Unless they've been filming all along. Ugh, TLC is so slimy and sneaky.
OT regarding DWTS.
Kim Zolciak was still in the hospital yesterday, but hopes to go home today. Her future on DWTS has still not been determined, but I guess that depends on what her doctor says.
The main question, IMO, is that even if her doctor okays it, will she and Tony be able to prepare a new routine in such a short time to dance Monday night? I have a feeling that she may not continue.
Tony has been there supporting her while she's been in the hospital.

Just when I thought Jon Gosselin was gonna STFU about his ex wife of 5+ years, @Kateplusmy8, there he goes "mentioning" her AGAIN. #WTF
*****
You know what's WTF? Jon's kids mentioning his dating life post divorce, 6 YEARS AFTER THE DIVORCE!
C'mon, Jon was asked a question and gave a brief but poignant answer, "sad".
And it is sad that the sheep focus on his whispering Kate's name, instead of focusing on the message itself.
It just further confirms to me that the sheep don't give a shit about the kids. They just worship Kate.
Even most of us here will call out Jon when we disagree or are disappointed in his choices.
Kate? They will simply never.
So according to their reasoning, Kate is also jealous of Jon and can't get him off her mind.
******
Exactly.
Jon and Kate are BOTH guilty of bashing one another, however, at least Jon has many times extended an olive branch, even though she always responds by shoving it right up his ass.

Jon could have stayed in that marriage if he had agreed to her terms. He could have continued with that lifestyle, the perks, the trips, the fame, the money. He opted out, and he had to know that things would be financially difficult for him, as well as being bashed about in the media. He knew Kate. He was married to her and he certainly was aware that this would not be an amicable parting, given her nastiness and controlling ways. Nevertheless, he was not happy and chose not to continue on that path.
-----------------------------------------
I agree that Jon could have stayed in the marriage, but don't really think he anticipated the emotional and financial costs of leaving. Remember Ed Hardy and Michael Lohan?
I like Jon, and think he a far better parent than Kate, but I don't think he really knew what was coming at him.
When I contemplate the Jon and Kate sage, I feel like I've entered a time warp.
For instance, I just thought about the eight years since the divorce comment, looked it up, and found out that the intention to divorce was announced in June, 2009. Hardly eight years.
Then I was convinced that Kate's comments about Jon were from and earlier article, or one that was re-dated and recirculated. But no, she really was bashing him, in exactly the same terms she's been using since 2009, as recently as the beginning of this year. It's like deja vu all over again.

I feel Jon though he could trade on his name for a long time to come and didn't see how bad the struggle would be.
It's like he wanted out so bad, and was so confident he could broker deals, that he totally dropped the ball in the material aspects of the divorce.
Like, "whatever, just get me outa here".
Further, re: Kim Z. wtf with taking selfies like that?
Um, you're resting with your eyes closed AND taking a selfie with your left arm?
It's laughable.
Like that other housewife who allegedly has lyme's disease, and she never misses an opportunity to snap pics of her wan self in hospital gowns and IV lines!

I think that he knew that the money that was rolling in from filming, as well as the freebies, would end with the marriage. He refused to do the last speaking tours with her because he knew that the love offering thing was a scam. She insisted that ¨the show must go on" and that included passing the church basket.
Unlike Kate, he could look ahead and see that the emotional and financial consequences of that divorce. He was the other half of Kate and that show. It would never be the same again. He just wanted out, and who can blame him?

Agree the show doesn't work on the same level without Jon. I can't believe the boring crap they're still filming.
On her big whoop 40th birthday I recall Kate telling Deanna that she wanted people to stop asking her about her dating life because it annoyed and offended her and reminded her that she's still alone.
She does have the bodyguard but he doesn't count because, you know, he's MARRIED, so she's had one, count 'em ONE date since the divorce and by the sound of it she chased him off too.
Seems to me she's never gonna find another Jon. I guess he was pretty special to her after all. So, yes. I'd say that IS pretty sad.
Math Girl (#84), I, too, was shocked that that quote came from
TFW this year. Her disconnect from her accountability in the
situation is actually frightening. She tries to "keep the peace,"
yet she SUED the dude? She wishes "things were better for
the kids," yet she refuses to let their father step foot on their
property? She is really a piece of work.
I'm skeptical of this woman's claim to having a (mini) stroke,
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Me too! I feel like an old grump for even thinking it, but dwts has oversold injuries so many times in the past it has become part of the script. Aside from my dwts skepticism, it's hard to take seriously any attention-getting drama from a "real" housewife from anywhere.
About Kim Z. I read some of the comments on first article about her TIA, and they were pretty scathing, and similar to those made about "our Kate": she's lazy, entitled, a fame whore, faking her illness, etc.
I'd never heard of her until she appeared on DWTS, and the impression that she has made there is quite a positive one. Yes, her first dance was really bad, and she did make excuses for it (didn't know Tony very well, hard to do such a sexy dance with him in the first week). But she isn't delusional (she admitted that her performance was bad) and she didn't blame Tony, so she's coming off MUCH better than Kate did on DWTS.
New article about Jon on US Weekly's website today. "My custody is really strange," he explains to Us about the situation. "My custody with them [Mady and Cara] is just like go out to dinner or whatever and then go home. Their schoolwork... they’re really engrossed in school right now. And they still film."

(((
Funny you should say that. The love offering talk I went to with a friend was in the summer of 08 i believe. Jon went but didn't say a word. TFW said he preferred she do the talking. They were filming their vow renewal in HI and their new house had hit the media and my jaw about hit the floor when they passed the plate. I passed on the donating. Oh and they charged money for an autographed pic
I think Jon knew it was going to be bad, but he had no idea just how bad. I think he badly underestimated the power TLC had to deny him the ability to work.
I think he also underestimated just how vindictive TFW was going to be about it.
I think he was counting on being able to use his name to obtain filming work, which TLC put a fast stop to. With TFW's help.
So Jon's living with yet another woman?? how many does that make? I remember him saying Haley was the love of his life..then when in line did he profess the same for Liz? Now it's another? And yep, nothing says putting a lot of thought into getting married than saying you're 'spontaneous'. barf.
And he only enforces his custody time during meals now?? wow.
I am NOT a Kate fan, but I do not give Jon a free pass. Sure Kate uses her kids, abuses her kids; I read her journal so I know what kind of mother she isn't. But the only thing I can say in her favor is that she hasn't uprooted her kids from their home or school, so they at least have that security. They might be working to support their mother's extravagant life style but at least they have two constants in their lives-school and home (well, except for C).
If I was in Kate's shoes I certainly wouldn't want my young kids around the revolving door of girlfriends. The kids are older now and can process some of that trainwreck, but not when they were younger.
Let's face it, both of these parents are losers. I hope the kids have great teachers so guide them toward some degree of normalcy.
geez
And if he only has them for 'meal time', then he needs to be paying child support. I don't care if the kids have a zillion dollars, he needs to be paying something--put it in a special account, but PAY something towards their support. I don't call buying them pizza as supporting them. Man up already.

Ha, I know! Jon's stream of consciousness answers just sound bad sometimes.
I know several guys who remarried asap after divorce, but I'm glad Jon hasn't yet. As bad as I think the serial shacking up with women is, at least he hasn't gotten married again yet.
I think he's still maturing and growing, even though he's starting down 40. He was way too young for Kate and the huge family she wanted, and his maturing got stunted big time.
Throw in unimaginable fame and notoriety, and it's a mix for disaster.
I do not get why the twins don't spend more time with Jon, and at this point, can only hope that once they're grown and have space away from the Kate circus, they will seek to reconnect with Jon.
It's tragic what's happened between the twins and Jon, so much more for the girls and their healthy development than for Jon.
And if he only has them for 'meal time', then he needs to be paying child support.

Reportedly, Jon paid Kate 22K a month for years in addition to funding their college accounts.
I have no idea what the veracity is to the rumor that Jon "signed away" paying child support in exchange for not challenging filming.
So Jon's living with yet another woman?? how many does that make? I remember him saying Haley was the love of his life..then when in line did he profess the same for Liz? Now it's another?
&&&&&&&&&&&
I think this has been discussed before. He lived with Hailey, Liz and now this one. That makes three over a period of six years. He does not have a revolving door of women. There is no flavor of the month.
¨If I was in Kate's shoes I certainly wouldn't want my young kids around the revolving door of girlfriends.¨
&&&&&&&&&
Would you want them around their mother and her married bodyguard who travels everywhere with them and sleeping who-knows-where in the hotel and rented houses?
¨Let's face it, both of these parents are losers. I hope the kids have great teachers so guide them toward some degree of normalcy.¨
&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you knew Jon, I really don't think you would be calling him a loser because he isn't. You do not know how much he is contributing to their support, nor that he isn't putting anything away for them. There are some things that Jon has done that I disagreed with (such as Celebrity Rehab), but as far as being a parent, he is anything but a loser. I have seen him as a parent, his love for his children, and the way he has supported them in their activities and just trying to bring normalcy into their lives WITHOUT having them pay to take care of his lifestyle.
I do not think that Jon is asking, nor expects a free pass from anyone. He has owned up to his mistakes, saw what that celebrity lifestyle was doing to his kids and is trying his best to work and find happiness in his new life. I have known Jon since the twins were in first grade, and after 10 years of living with Kate, I would think that he deserves finally being at peace without being called a loser.
She does have the bodyguard but he doesn't count because, you know, he's MARRIED, so she's had one, count 'em ONE date since the divorce and by the sound of it she chased him off too.
&&&&&&&&&&
If I recall, there was a sports guy, or a coach that she dated briefly after the divorce. I am not sure if it was publicized, but she was seeing him, although nothing ever came of it. It may have been just a once and done shot.

Who is C? Collin? If so, why wouldn't he have a constant in his life -- school and home? He goes to school. I am not understanding this comment.
You are saying that their home is a ¨constant?¨ So by this reasoning, any constant is good, even if the home is dysfunctional?

caroline - I think Jon was talking about seeing the twins for meals. We know from pictures that he does have the tups for weekends. It's been my experience when someone proclaims that they're NOT a Kate fan, they usually are. Just an observation.
The G kids' two constants may be home and school, but there is
no way I credit their mother for that. They have been working for
the money that funds both of those for their whole lives.
And if TFW so values home and school, why the eff does she
keep yanking the kids away from both for filming?

Jon's like a duck with custody. Above the water, there's not much going on. Underneath, he's paddling like crazy.
We know beyond a doubt that the tups visit him and look very, very happy. He's posted a handful of photos over a period of years, and other than that. fans snap photos and post them.
I think people need to remember that this is what custody sharing looks like in many cases. One night a week, alternate weekends.
Are all these dads losers, too? No, of course not.
Most of all, just because this is the reality of how much they see their children, it doesn't lessen their role, significance or impact in their children's lives.
Kate, of course, would argue otherwise.
And if TFW so values home and school, why the eff does she
keep yanking the kids away from both for filming?
******
True, but the house is where she can completely isolate the kids for filming, and the school has historically allowed her to pull them for filming.
The prudent thing to do would have been to downsize and place her kids in public school. But, that's not golden platter living.

I think Jon could give a crap if Kate films. It's his kids that he wants off tv more than anything.
What saddens me is how much Jon loved his two little twin girls, and now he only sees them occasionally for dinner. They were his world, and he was a content and loving dad with just them. We all know what happened to that little family and why.
Jon got TFW back word for word in the Us interview.
Now, for the sake of a calmer overall lifestyle, Jon says he wouldn't instigate anything. "I just try to keep the peace," he tells Us. "Keeping the peace is the best thing and then I don't have to deal with going to
court.
Remember in a interview TFW said, I just try to keep the peace.
It is very mean, petty and sad that the sheeple bash Jon when he just opens his mouth.
It is just Halleluiah! Halleluiah! when TFW bashes Jon.
I bet when Jon has dinner with his girls, he sits at the table
with them and eats the same thing. That already puts him
ahead of their mother.
Who remembers when TFW proudly announced that she'd
implemented "silent dinner?" Yeah, when the cameras
aren't around, I suspect mealtime with Mom is a grim affair.
Thank you for not crucifying me concerning my opinion of Jon. And no, I am not a Kate fan. I read her journals, I think she's a terrible person, parent, sister, daughter, mother, ex wife, etc etc. Her emotional abuse of her children breaks my heart.
And no, I have never met Jon or Kate. I have only formed an opinion about them from online sources and 'R' show...just like most of the posters here. Unfortunately, a few of the posters on this site have to be subjected to the Gosselin mess on a local level (my apologies!), so of course they sometimes have witnessed accounts of these two parents.
But heck, with the same microscope I examine Kate, I also have to use the same criteria with Jon. I guess I'm old fashioned, but living with 3 women within a 6 yr time period seems to be excessive to me. But again, that's just my opinion.
And yes, Kate is an abusive shrew who exploits her kids, a mother that requires her children to work to support her spa days and cosmetic procedures, she has not moved in a new 'daddy' (and yes, I think she's got the hots for Steve, and yes, he's a married man, but as far as we know she's not flaunting the relationship in front of the kids)..and yes, even though the house is too big, it costs too much, the kids have to pay for it, the kids weren't uprooted. (I've was a child of divorce, and moving a lot doesn't promote a lot of security). And look at how many times Jon has moved!
And yes (again), the kids are paying for their private education, but at least for 7 of them, they weren't yanked out of school. I hope C is doing well in whatever educational system he is in).
And I must say again, no I am NOT a Kate fan. I just can look at Jon just as critically as I can Kate.
As far as the child support, ok, he was paying $22,000 per month during the TLC days. And?? Kids know whether their parents pay child support, and sometimes it isn't the amount, but the kids know their non custodial parent cares enough to pay SOMETHING (this is what my kids tell me). If Kate let him off the hook for child support, then I hope she told the kids that.
pardon the rambling nature of my post. :)
but the kids know their non custodial parent cares enough to pay SOMETHING (this is what my kids tell me)
*****
Jon buys them everything for their visits with him. Duplicate whatever they need, plus food, housing etc.
Beyond that, he loves them enormously and shows it whenever he can.
I can't believe a CHILD puts how much their father's support check is over that.
If they do, they are way, way too informed and concerned about the wrong things.
It should be none of their business and they should not be burdened.
pardon the rambling nature of my post. :)

I recently read Maud Hart Lovelace's "Betsy-Tacy" 4-book
anthology from the early 1940's, and I found the stories utterly charming. Sweet, cozy, heartwarming reading, and they still
hold up almost 80 years after they were written.
I feel Jon though he could trade on his name for a long time to come and didn't see how bad the struggle would be. 86
TLC and Katie made sure that didn't happen. Vindictive, both of them.
Flimsy 117 I always loved the Betsy and Tacy books and was thinking about them just the other day.

I remember Kate saying on a tv interview type show that she had only had half a date so far since her divorce. It was a couple or so years ago. All I could picture for her half date was the guy excusing himself to the bathroom and escaping out a window or back door.
Thank you PA Dutch Mom for your comment #101. So well said, and I know it comes from personal knowledge.
There are only two current things I can blast Jon for. How quickly a new woman becomes the love of his life and new roomie, and that he is speaking about his kids publicly. Leave them out of it Jon. Especially, ESPECIALLY when it makes them sound bad.
And it seems like either the H story wasn't true or nothing came of it if it was. Sad either way.

I don't think we know how much personal time they spend with their dad, nor should we. They're teens and have friends and interests other than their parents, who've taken away far too many of their years already.
I'll bet they don't spend that much personal time with Kate either, except when they're needed for filming purposes. And I'm sure there are hellishy huge debates over that too whenever TLC's film crew is parked out front of the McMansion.
Good luck to both Jon and Kate. They are in for a long, bumpy ride when they have eight teenagers to deal with.

I would like to know when and where that became dependent upon teachers. Not in any school system, private or public, is 'normalcy' on the curriculum.
Those kids have been alienated from any sense of normalcy since they were adopted by TLC. And any teacher who dared try to guide them away from the path that's been laid before them would be dealt with severely by Kate Gosselin herself.
I think the teen years are when Jon is really going to shine in his kid's eyes. He's a sane, rational person. He'll have reasonable expectations of his kids. He knows how to compromise and he knows how to pick his battles. His ex-wife, on the other hand, only knows that it's her way or the highway. She rules with an iron fist. Teenagers don't respond well to ultimatums.
And it seems like either the H story wasn't true or nothing came of it if it was. Sad either way.
---------------------
We do not know this, nor should we. Not everything is made public, and as far as we know, Jon is not bedding every woman he meets. It really is none of our business who he dates or what goes on in his private love life.

I don't imagine that he gives a darn that she is filming, but when it comes to the kids filming, I wonder if that bothers him. I bet it does, and not because he is jealous, but because he knows that some of them want nothing to do with cameras being shoved in their faces.
I think caroline said she "hoped" the kids had great teachers. She's not putting the onus for normalcy on the school system or the teachers. I hope the kids have great teachers too. I hope they meet a ton of people in their life that show them what it is to be normal. Not mediocre, normal.

Well, she did single out teachers in her comment but that aside, Kate doesn't make a distinction between normal and mediocre. To date any and all 'normal' persons in her kids' lives have been quickly swiffered.
I think we all hope the Gosselin kids recognize what they're living is abnormal but with each episode I've seen lately, that hope is diminishing especially with Mady and her younger sisters.
You are saying that their home is a ¨constant?¨ So by this reasoning, any constant is good, even if the home is dysfunctional?
===========
Well, it is constantly dysfunctional!
Well, she did single out teachers in her comment but that aside, Kate doesn't make a distinction between normal and mediocre.
=================
Yes, and maybe I misunderstood her comment, but I took it to mean that a good teacher should be able to guide them toward normalcy and she hopes that the kids have such teachers.
You're right, he did see what the 'celebrity lifestyle' was doing to himself and his children
&&&
I don't know if the celebrity lifestyle was the biggest problem. Lots of families live a celebrity lifestyle. It's hard, but with the right guidance and support hopefully most kids get through it just like any kid who has been dealt a difficult hand. The problem was the kids were and continue to be exploited to make that celebrity lifestyle.
If Jon, OR Kate, want to do or say things in the public eye, they should, as long as they don't involve the children.
By that logic Kate shouldn't be doing DWTS or Celebrity Apprentice because it just continues the celebrity lifestyle. I just can't agree with that. In fact, I'd prefer she busy herself with things like that. Things that don't directly involve the children. She and Jon should do what they want in the public or private arena to their heart's content as long as the children aren't working or being filmed to facilitate it.
Bottom line is Jon doesn't exploit his children anymore, and hasn't since 2009. Kate continues to do so, even to this very day.
I like Jon and it's nice to hear in 'real life' he is a good involved dad . Yes, he has made mistakes, but who wouldn't, especially in this unusual situation (Thanks PA Dutch Mom) It appears he has not been able to change the kids' situation although he has tried. He must be frustrated by the courts/social services. Nothing came of his requests for a psych eval of Kate- if it was done, or re: filming the kids, petition for Hannah's custody and custody changes: it seems nothing changed. Who knows, though. Perhaps he was instrumental in getting Collin the educational help he needs.

Who else do those kids come into contact with? Teachers were the ones who reported the moldy food being sent to school. Those kids are under sKate's eagle eye constantly. School is the only safe place they have. She can't swiffer the teachers.

&&&&&&&&&&&&
That is an understatement! It is more like exasperated! I could say more, but it is not my business to put anything out there, although there are times I feel frustrated in not sharing what I have seen in his interaction with the kids and Kate sabotaging his efforts to make things normal for them. He was right; it is sad. I just want to bite my tongue when the sheeple come up with their jealousy thing, he is a loser, he wants fame, he can't stand it because Kate is filming, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. They put Kate on a pedestal and Jon is the villain. For them, that will never change. They can't look at the situation logically or objectively because they have been sucked into the Kate Cult.
One cannot examine ¨the Jon situation¨ under a microscope. It is not a science and the conclusions would be invalid based on the little bit of evidence, rumors and gossip that is put out there. There is so much more to it than that. My hope is that in time the children will be able to figure out that he is the one who wants them to live normal, happy lives and not go the route of the spoiled, entitled celebrity child. He is not a loser.
I am off to a harvest festival and apple picking event with perhaps a stop at the Rumspringa Brewery! I will place our order for delivery at the veranda. What gorgeous fall days we are having here. It couldn't be more perfect...wonderful warm days, low humidity and cool, clear, moonlit nights. Just beautiful!

And it seems like either the H story wasn't true or nothing came of it if it was. Sad either way.
---------------------
We do not know this, nor should we. Not everything is made public, and as far as we know, Jon is not bedding every woman he meets. It really is none of our business who he dates or what goes on in his private love life.

His love life isn't private when he give multiple interviews about it.

Huh? Multiple?
He's been dating for 10 months a woman he knew in high school who has a child in college and one in high school. That's hardly discussing his love life. It seems rare these days for couples not to live together and it certainly makes sense financially. Yes Jon did many things he's most likely not proud of and, if I remember correctly, apologized for his behavior. Let's remember that it's Kate who continues to exploit the children because without them, she's nothing. The twins both have Instagram accounts and based on the photos they post they do seem legit. Mady recently apologized for being absent from posting because they've been filming. School is in session and they film. Let's put the blame where it belongs, with their mother, not their father.

What friends? Their peers? Little kids? Their coaches? Cara plays(ed?) lacrosse. Who else? Music instructors? Wouldn't they be teachers? The film crew? They are there to do a job, not mentor the kids. What kind of impact would they have? Other adults who are "supposed" to be on set? Really? Which one would be able to get close enough to any of the kids to have any impact whatsoever without their Momster stepping in?
It must be the super-moon that's making everyone bitchy.

I'm sorry. I must not have been following the discussion. I really do not feel bitchy at all. I thought we were talking about normalcy, and I responded to the question about who, other than teachers, the kids come in contact with. There are parents and the kids' peers who would be able to show the kids what a ¨normal¨ life is like outside the celebrity world. It is not their job to mentor them, but they certainly would be able to see how ¨the other half¨ lives. As was mentioned yesterday, Yogi so wisely said that you can observe a lot just by watching.
I will now return to my designated spot under the veranda ;).

Yes. Surely teachers aren't the only other people they come in contact with. I don't know who else is, but I don't think I should know any more about their private lives than I already do. I can only hope they have activities other than what we're aware of and have friends who live more normal lives.
They also have a father who seems to have a better concept of normalcy than Kate ever will. Hopefully they're more involved with his family and friends now and have exposure to a lifestyle different than the one Kate's forced upon them.
PJ, I'm not bitchy. I'm bitchin' and getting ready to howl at the midnight moon.
It seems to me that we've been discussing for years that the kids don't have normal outside of school friendships. No sleepovers, no sports, just school, the compound and filming. Trick or treating seems to be too much hassle for their poor, overworked mother. All kids enjoy a nice, private easter egg hunt with no other people allowed. (snark)
Suddenly, the children have friends outside of school and spend time with other parents, coaches, and are not isolated? Just because the older girls take a token friend along doesn't mean the younger kids do. Remember the birthday party that had 3 friends with the younger girls and I believe one friend for the 3 boys? We've discussed many times how those kids are not allowed to live normal lives. Heck, they can't even be taken to a movie without a riot ensuing. The only time they are even approaching normal is when they're with their father.
To go back to the original point, I hope those kids have teachers who help them stay grounded to the real world. I know it's not in their job description, but we've all had teachers who've impacted our lives.

Hello, checking in from the non-stop frenzy of wedding prep (for DS#2). I see that someone has been posting with my name (#38 and 39). That's not me! If there is another Layla, perhaps we should number ourselves(?). Redbird, I didn't see your grandchild anywhere, but I bet he/she is adorable. I can't wait to become a grandma myself (hopefully soon, now that one of my sons will be married!).
Lanc Native and localyokel, I was at KOP just recently, with my niece, and shopping at an upscale mall with a girl was really eye-opening. I have all boys, and they couldn't care less what they wear. They just throw on jeans and a sweatshirt and run out the door. But a teenage girl…completely different. It seemed like every teenage girl there had an iPhone in one hand and a Starbucks cup in the other as she dashed from Lacoste to Longchamp to Vineyard Vines. Frightening!
I just caught a glimpse of said niece's "rough draft" of her Christmas list--a Canada Goose parka, a $695 Tory Burch bag, $200 jeans…even the suggested "stocking stuffers" were $50 pairs of Wolford tights. Thank God I have boys (and don't live close to KOP mall)!

lol Midnight. Supermoons have got to be right up your alley. And Sheepless in Seattle might even go back to Sleepless in Seattle for the occasion (I hope). We'll have to play Werewolves of London (Warren Zevon) loudly tonight.
Woot! Crack open those kegs please, PA.
Layla, KOP used to have the Court which was more high-end, and the Plaza (the Sears side). Now they are remodeling and seem to be focusing on the very very high end. Shame. On another note, they are filming Mall Rats II at Exton Mall next year!
Layla (#147), I suspect someone just borrowed your name to
pester a poster. Join the club -- we have meetings under the
veranda, when AuntieAnn, Frankie, Jolie and Readerlady
allow us down there. Wedding prep sounds like a joyful
distraction - congratulations!
I don't know about this super moon -- is this the dawning of
the Age of Aquarius (shout out to the Fifth Dimension!)?
Oh, do I turn that song up to 11. Let the sunshine in!
I think I understand what Caroline said about teachers and normalcy. School was my only normal, even though I changed cities every year, my teachers actually did teach me about normal, probably without even knowing it.

You just say ¨no.¨ Works for us. Of course, we do have some great outlets here, but the answer is still no.
Flimsy, everyone is welcome under the veranda where we discuss anything but politics or religion. We do say nasty things about Kate because that's unavoidable.
Super moons occur once in a blue moon.

Diving back under the porch now with rainbows.
oh Layla, I hear you!
DD's Canada Goose Parka was 800 plus taxes. I made her work for it, only gave her 100 towards it. Here is to hoping she does not gain an ounce of weight because she bought the smallest size possible. And do not talk to me about Urban Outfitters! 50 bucks minimum for cut-off jean shorts.
Think we need tubes instead of straws down here under the verandah.
On the plus side, new dug-out is ready and Have mapped where to build the rainbow igloo!

Girls, I need to relax and spend some time under the veranda after the busy week I've had! I had to drag my very reluctant DS out to buy him new clothes for his honeymoon, which took considerable effort. He'd wear chinos and a polo shirt (a button-down shirt and tie to work only) every day, everywhere, if he had his way about it, but his fiancé and I thought an upgrade was in order. Then running all over for last minute errands, fittings, and preparations, DC traffic was a nightmare due to Pope Francis being in town…but--it's all done! My baby is getting married! Pour me a drink!

I remember my mother telling me that in the olden days it was just a strip mall, anchored by an E.J. Korvette department store. The highest end store was a Marianne dress shop.

Hopefully your dd isn't as expensive to keep up with as my niece! Although I suspect that my niece would rethink her demands if she had to work for some of what she wants. Good call on your part! Isn't it funny how they think all these outrageous things are NEEDS, not wants?
Yes, I am ready to pull up a chair and take a load off. I made snickerdoodles today--I'll bring some along to share.
I just made a run to the store because I am out of cinnamon, I know, who runs out of cinnamon? I looked at the moon...biggest white moon ever, with partial gray cloud cover, almost a Halloween moon, spooky. I had to laugh because I was thinking of AuntieAnn and could have sworn I heard her howling before midnight. It is a good night for some swigs from the keg!

As for Kate, I think she is trying so hard to overcome the RV epi backlash that she has become even more boring by circling back to
the poor pitiful me days. Maybe a new hairdo would get her some attention. She sure needs one. She looks like Michele Duggar and Kim Davis now IMO.

He denied owning the shirt, jacket, pants and the Bruno Maglis shoes!
If this would of been presented in the first criminal trial, he should of been found guilty. But, I don't know. They said when the jury came out a black male juror looked over at the defense team and smiled. They knew they had won.
Here is an article I found about the jurors. Fascinating reading. I would like to know what has happened to all the jurors since the trial. What was upsetting was a juror said, Why would someone who has it all be a suspect? Another juror who is a woman said that domestic violence is "personal problems". UGH! What on earth!!!!

I have Acorn. I've seen several good series. But then I like British, Australian, Canadian TV better than American TV. More realistic and less cleavage. Their selection isn't as large as Netflix's but a lot of what's on Netflix I wouldn't watch.
I watched a good two-parter then other night, "Amnesia" and am starting what looks like a good series, "Touching Evil." It's worth the $4.99 mo. I don't have cable, and between Netflix and Acorn I'm entertained for $13 a month.
Thanks for the heads up about Acorn TV. Love, love British shows, comedy and drama.
Cloudy where I live. Think I'll miss out tonight but will be out on the porch with a cocktail anyway!
Agree the show doesn't work on the same level without Jon. I can't believe the boring crap they're still filming.
&&&&&
It's Lucy without her Ricky. You know the worst thing Jon could ever do to Kate is take away the draw of the show. To take away the ying to her yang. And there's nothing, nothing she can do about it, no matter how much she hates him for it. It's the one thing she can't control. Him.
So true that Jon was an integral part of the show. It worked and the show was popular because of the babies and the bickering between Kate and Jon until it got uncomfortable. It's boring now because it's Kate coming up with these filming ideas and it's all about what freebies she can wring from TLC. The kids are at that annoying age too on top of being entitled. Not a nice dynamic. There is no doubt in my mind Kate used Jeff solely to bring him into the show. Glad he was smart enough to back out.

I clicked on an image of Nicole in her wedding gown because I love the dress and hairpiece. She was so beautiful. There was no warning of the gruesome photos that followed.
Yahoo has the crime scene photos online, including one of the butchered Ron Goldman and Nicole, as well as a close-up of her nearly decapitated head. I wish I hadn't seen them. If he committed those crimes, that man is insane. It wasn't just a stabbing. It was a rage killing.
