I don't like Kate or Jon anymore, they are both pathetic. He is only (32) as he stated. He forgets that he has 8 children to help raise. Kate is so obnoxious and snobby, for what I don't know. If she hadn't had all the free body makeovers, she would still be a flabby (nurse) slob. She is after money, money, money!!!

The break up of a family is sad to me. I find it sick that people take sides, what about what it does to the children when people do this. Wrongs were done, mistakes were made, and their lives were changed. It happens all to often.

jon grow up you have 8 children they need both parents , you dont need a trump tower apt, in new york, live in the town with your children. and kate put your children before your book deals, and speaking,both of you have forgotten love, and committment, for better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness and health thosen vows are not suggestions, they came from GODS holy word linda

I am sad over the whole Jon and Kate situation. I have been watching it for a long time. And I think they are such a nice family. I am praying that they will come back to each other, and then back to their family. If they have to go off of the air, it would be worth it for their families sake.

I am a fan of Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Collin, Aaden, Leah, Joey, not a JON and KATE fan. The kids are why I watched the show. However, as OCD as Kate is, [plus demeaning] these kids will grow up okay, with or without 'the boy' [earrings on a 32 yr. old sickens me] Jon Gosselin, and his 23 year old lover! Kate will see that they are loved and taken care of. Hopefully, with all the money these kids make, they'll be in private schools and Harvard or Yale bound someday. 4 out of 5 marriages end in divorce now, so these kids will have company, and if Jon stays in their life and quits pouting up and he and Kate COOPERATE they'll be fine. "He'll remarry, and so will Kate. She should marry an older rich man with wisdom and understanding of her mental problems who stays gone a lot." :O) :O)

John & Kate were interesting when it was about the family. Now it is all about the free things they get, usually HUGE, the free trips ,also HUGE and Kate living it up like a Hollywood celebrity. It is hard for me to believe you are cutting coupons when you live in a million dollar home.
