The Jon and Kate Trainwreck
Ten million people tuned in last night to watch Jon show up to his first family event in weeks only to have Kate nag him that he was shaking the Pinata incorrectly. Hey Jon, you shake it like you should shake your shrew of a wife- until her teeth rattle!
Us Weekly points to a blog written by Kate’s sister-in-law that says a lot of it was staged. Perhaps so, but the tension sure felt real. Next week Kate looks like she is taking Mady to a much needed day spa. Perhaps if she leaves that little brat there the rest of the family may finally know peace.
And even if the Gosselins do get a divorce, I think they will keep making shows. As my pal Dan put it, next season it will be Jon plus Four and Kate plus Four, or Kate plus 8 and Jon Every Other Weekend, or as he is really hoping, Jon Plus Eight and Kate’s a Bitch.
We’ve been watching this show precisely because it did not seemed staged. Now that Jon has quit his job and Kate has written a book and is touring all the time, raising 8 brats is a business for them. It’s was more interesting when they were an actual family. I guess now that they’ll be splitting up and we’ll be treated to Kate’s likel creepy boyfriend oogling the twins every week, it’ll be exactly like a real American family.
