Um, Ok. So Jon and Kate Plus Eight...
 

What exactly is the point of the show?

We are watching some fairly attractive woman with beautiful hands and feet dealing with 8 children and some how not going insane?

Is that really the thrill of this show?

I am kind of at a loss as to what would be so exciting that this show has lasted more than a single season. Sure, I love seeing that Kate woman's toes in every episode I saw today. But beyond that, I am not sure what the appeal of something like this would be. Much less worthy of all the media attention.

I think getting people like you to watch and talk about it. :2 cents:

She actually is bat shit crazy. You just have must not seen much of the show.
Otherwise yes, it is about watching some family with a bunch of kids.

bitch is nuts...

Correct.

I woke up to it the other morning, and it was on.

Tonight, I am channel flipping, and just happened to be waiting on Intervention and Million Dollar Listing tonight and came across it. So I was like, ok. So I'll watch a few episodes, catch some toe peeks, and see if I can figure it out.

I still can't really see the appeal. However, I guess you are just waiting for her to snap with those eight kids and hubbo and all that madness...

However, she does have some beautiful hands and feet.

watching tv in hopes of glimpses of toes sounds boring... I mean how often does it really happen?

More than I would think or is it few and far between?

No. You've got it all wrong.

If I am watching some show, it just makes it more rewarding. I do not watch simply for that fact she is bare foot or you are getting toe peeks. I simply am trying to figure out why this woman is on the cover of everything. It is a dull show to me.

But I do not have kids.

The show is retarded and youre absolutely correct when wondering why the fuck it is still televised.

Never should have been a tv show in the first place. Now that lunatic is ruining lives and famous for absolutely no reason other than over fertilizing.

Ah ok.

So I/masses are just supposed to be amazed this fairly attractive women with pretty hands and feet shit out 8 kids and has somehow not went insane. Then further my amazement they pay her $70,000 per episode (or something crazy -read in one of the mags) just to fight with hubbo, and take kids on field trips.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... and then at the end of the day vent about it on camera.

Got it.

I guess it doesn't take much to get a show and be a celebrity now a days. :disgust

That's a good question!

Child exploitation... Pure and simple. :2 cents:

One thing is for sure, if it wasn't for Kate monetizing/exploiting their dysfunction, they would be in the poor house. Doesn't seem like Jon was good for anything but extremely fertile sperm.

You just answered the question to your own thread. And you watch the show. So good for you.

And BTW - the bitch is fucking nuts, so stop saying she isn't. She should be locked up. Not sure what to do with the kids, but Kate, Jon, and involved parties from the TLC channel need punishment.

$.02

Not sure I can gauge her sanity from 3-4 episodes, and various celebrity magazine covers.

As I said, I just caught part of the show the other morning, and this evening while waiting on Million Dollar Listing. So I have not even watched a handful of episodes to jump to a conclusion on her.

:2 cents:

I think the show was created to appeal to womens motherly instincts- the challenges of raising 8 kids with a useless man & a 7 figure income.

That stupid cunt makes 70k per episode?

Made me suffer a slight moment of livid hatred...

Fair enough.

bf- don't waste your time on tele crap like that.

watch something like "leave it lamas" or "keeping up with the kardashians".

then just get your updates on john & kate on tmz.

much better time spent,

I'll never understand foot fetish. :(

he looks like a douche with his new diamond earrings. lol

Uberly fertile woman must supply bevy of eggs for "fertile sperm" to take effect. :2 cents:

Well, I was simply killing time waiting for Million Dollar Listing and channel flipping.

I had my machines doing uploads, and figured I would take a little break. That is what I stopped on for an hour. You're right though on time being well spent. No way I could sit through seasons of that show.

Hot toes or not.

Luckily for my livelihood, you do not have to.

Plenty of others out there.

:)

Much better foot-looks on dancing with the hars.

i guess i have some work to do on my gfy stand-up routine.:upsidedow

My sister loves that show. We grew up in a broken family so (I think the) she watches that show and fantasizes about being in a big family liek that.
And she fucking loves the Duggars show with 19 kids (ewww) even though I tell her they are creepy.

:upsidedow

dang, not even a ,champ.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You have to earn the sarcasm.
:winkwink:

nah, i'm not a hater, i don't have any probs with ya. most of your *champs* go to those sorts of comments.
contrary to a lot of peep's thinking around here, just cause u make a dollar, doesn't mean i am missing out on a dollar.

not sure if that makes sense to ya, it does to me at the moment but i been drinkin, watchin football and somewhat pissed at that chargers! those guys certainly aren't champs:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
prolly the most over-rated team in the nfl ver the last 3 years

No worries BROtha. It's all in good fun.
:drinkup

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention her hands or feet. As if that's a reason to broadcast a show like this....so folks like BF can have stroke material :1orglaugh

I liked the show in the beginning actually. It was interesting to see how a family could manage to feed 8 kids on one guy's salary. It was cool for putting things into perspective, whenever I would feel overwhelmed with work and bills and kids and whatever, I remembered that my life was pretty calm and mellow compared to theirs.

As the seasons went on though, she became more and more bitchy and emasculating. I think this helped their ratings because women love to watch that shit.
Once they started making money from it and he quit his job, I pretty much lost interest. That's when she really became super bitch and he became super whipping boy and the "reality" part was gone, because now they weren't an average couple trying to raise an extraordinarily large family....they were rich celebrities with cameras in their house.

Something like that is just an added perk to the footie folk chief.

There are many shows that rank high on foot guy's lists to watch for just that reason. Which just goes to show how little most know about the foot fetish niche, and it's potential customer base.

More for me.
:)

Never seen it... never want to see it... that is all.
