Kate Plus 8- No More Jon

It seems that the divorce isn’t thing only thing splitting up between Jon & Kate, now TLC has announced that they too are dropping Jon from the show. No longer will it be called “Jon & Kate Plus 8” instead it will be “Kate Plus 8” and all about how a single mom raising her 8 children in the media.

Okay, the media part was thrown in by me but it is the truth…these little kids have been watched by the media since they were babies.  This wasn’t exactly news to many TLC fans as everyone saw how Jon Gosselin had been acting and there would be no way a TLC show would want to promote that type of behavior. Right?

Here’s what a source told People Magazine:

Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

“Jon will still be seen on the show from time to time,” the source adds.

 Sounds just like we all thought, I mean with his public dating one girl after another and then kissing all over Hailey and taking her on vacations it was beginning to look bad on TLC. Everyone knew the film crew was always around; someone was keeping something from the viewers. Problem is many of us actually felt badly for Jon the whole time as he was the one being verbally/emotionally abused by Kate. Course we were happy to hear he was going to start over, that is until he flaunted his love life in front of cameras. I mean it wasn’t just the fact that he had a girlfriend but he was doing all this in front of cameras, knowing it would make magazine covers and his children would possibly see them. I must ask how much do you like Jon now?

During the summer Jon traveled all over the place, he even set up a twitter account for himself so he had a place to voice his real feelings. He hit up Vegas and partied like a true bachelor, but of course stopping by the Candy store to look like a doting father.  Besides his shopping trips with Hailey, he also jumped on talk shows to bad mouth his soon-to-be-ex, Kate Gosselin, who is also mom to his 8 children. Kate has watched what she says in public, which I admire because she would totally have every reason to say things back. But instead she keeps it in and just states for the sake of the kids she won’t say anything. Course Jon made comments this past summer that the reason Kate wasn’t talking was because TLC wouldn’t allow her to comment, could this have been another reason he is now off the show? My guess is they warned him a couple of times and then said adios.

NY Times Reports:

“Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family,” Eileen O’Neill, the president and general manager of TLC, said in a statement. “The family has evolved, and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers.”

Will you continue to watch the show now that Jon is gone? Will the show have anything exciting with just Kate? You tell me.
