I occasionally watch it.
It's really cute sometimes.
Kate gets on my nerves though.

Wow, the more I watch it, the more I hate the older girls' attitudes.
If they were in my household, they wouldn't last a day.

^ Well Maddie and Cara are going through the bratty stage... and I think Jon and Kate are handling it quite well. =]

^ they're all so cute & i like each of them for very different reasons. they all say the cutest things.


yeah they've been rather bratty in the last couple of episodes... but they could be worse & i think Jon & Kate (even though they have their hands full) are doing a good job handling their little outbursts.

At times, I kinda feel bad for the older twins because they don't get as much attention. But what can you do? You DO have 6 other brothers and sisters.

man i gotta figure out when they are on.
I always miss it ;A;

You can catch new episodes on Mondays at 9 or marathons on Wednesdays...sometimes Sundays as well.

^^ Yeah, TLC puts on marathons of the show almost all the time.
But Monday nights are the best time to catch them.

Brattiness may be a phase, but there's always a chance of that brattiness carrying over into teenagehood.
Maybe it's a difference in parenting preferences [or rather, exposure to different types of parenting].

I do admire Jon and Kate for managing to provide their kids with some awesome opportunities [Disneyland, the Utah ski trip, etc.]
At least they're not like the Duggars.

I don't know... from what I can see, I really doubt Jon and Kate would allow the kids to stay bratty. I think they're just kind of letting it slide for now because it's expected of them (the twins) to be annoying and attention-seeking. Jon and Kate seem to be quite strict when it comes to attitude, so I don't think the kids being brats when they're older will be a factor.

And weren't the trips pretty much paid for them by sponsors?

^^ Oh yeah, that's true.
But not the kids' invidual days.

I think only the Utah trip was sponsored.

What ever happened to the Duggar family and their documentaries?
I'm surprised they never turned into a series.

Yeah, the individual days are pretty flipping awesome!!

My favorite one was Aaden's visit to the farm.

Aaden: "I can't see sheep!"
Jon: "You can't see what?"
Aaden: "Sheep!"
Jon: "Oh, okay. I thought there was a 't' at the end of that word."

Hee hee

My favourite was Alexis'! Her love for alligators is just so adorable. =D

Alexis and Collin and Hannah! awwwwwwwwww. :)

I use to watch that over the summer,there wasn't much else on. .
It's quite amazing,

omg. in ny. this. show. is. like. the. chanel. of. tv. shows. i. love collin. and. aaden. leah. alexis. i. hate cara. maddy,. and. hannah.

I love when Joel says "I have weiner!"

"Daddies have weiners too..." LOL awwwww...



omg, how can you hate ANY of the kids? I LOVE CARA AND HANNAH!!! Maddy's awesome too, even though she can be so obnoxious.

Yeah, to say that you hate some kids on a reality show is just low.

And also, Cara and Hannah are like the sweetest kids ever. Maddy can be a bitch sometimes but what little girl isn't? I've seen plenty of girls who have a worse attitude in smaller families. At least you can tell that Maddy truly loves her siblings.

You know what other thing I love? Leah asking Jon, "Why do little girls have little boops?" LOL that was so cute! <33

^ Omgsh, I was just about to post that! haha.

I mean, it IS a reality show. You can't expect them to be perfect.

I love Leah.
She's so pretty.

Ah, Joel and his weiner!
"Daddies have weiners."

i LOVE this show. haha my friend was telling me about it and saying how i should marry a white guy and have kids like those. ahaha.

Oh man, I love that show. It's so cute. My favorites are Leah and Aaden, but I feel like I shouldn't pick favorites because they are all cute.

maybe because they're kinda boring? =/



I love Jon & Kate Plus 8.. this show is just too adorable! and I think Jon & Kate are just funny together..

I think it's crazy how their kids are only 1/4 korean.. and they look so asian O_O

^ Yeah, its amazing how strong the asian gene is.

It makes me laugh how Jon is only 30 and he has 8 kids. XD

I love love love this show. The children are so cute! My favorite part was when Aaden was eating ice cream and his bib went behind him and he goes "I'm a super hurro!"

^ LOL, I remember that. Aadens so cute!

I love this show!! It's one of my favs!

LOL i watch this show sometimes.Love the 900 notes she left for the babysitter!!

Can't wait to see the new one tonight!! :D

"Jesus made Adam from the moulds!"

I like this show, its pretty cool.

I don't like the fact that they say if they can take 8 kids on a vacation then you can deal with your kids, yet they have friends and a whole crew to help them keep things in order.

I'm a little uncomfortable at how much they seem to depend on other people for help.
Like Aunt Jodi. She seems to babysit them a lot, but Jon and Kate have never taken in any of Jodi's kids in return.
I understand that they are busy and they may need an extra pair of hands from time to time, but the favors seem like unreturned favors for the most part.

Except for the time they went Christmas caroling.
That was nice.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

They're lucky they got a group of well behaved kids, though. They could've turned out to be the worst bunch ever!

I'm sure Jon and Kate return favours in their own way. Taking in another child is not a productive, nor a safe way to return such a favour. They already have 8 to worry about.

this show makes me want a kid

haha that episode was freakin adorable! :D

^ Haha, she has so many alligators! Oh wait, "al-de-ga-dor"s.

Jon & Kate + 8 is one of my favorite shows! Goodness those kids are cute :D



The Duggars do have a series, I was watching it the other day because it was on after Jon & Kate. It's called "17 Kids & Counting." It premiered just this past monday. It wasn't that good from what I remember...

I bought season one and two at Target a couple weeks ago. Love it.

Alexis is my favorite.

^x2 i was watching something where they said that alot of their trips are sponsored and it helps potentially get customers out to the spots. They mentioned it with their skiing trip.

I watched the episode yesterday. Aaden was SO cute. "What's that?" and she explains to him what the steamer did. And like 5 minutes later he asks again LOL! What a cutie.

I love how the kids are so sweet to everybody - like giving random people on the crew hugs. They're such sweet kids.

I watched the Duggars after J&K+8 and I HATE THEM. What the f**k was with their oldest son? They needed a freakin' chaperone with them on a date? And he asked his mom if it was okay to hold her hand...wtf?! I just don't get them.

LOL wtf for real?

I know, and he already PROPOSED to her too. And she was wearing the SAME SHIRT as her mom.

I realize that that is a seemingly small detail, but it's vital information. What normal girl in America would allow herself to go out of the house wearing the same shirt as her mother?! It was honestly the most awkward proposal EVER.

I met up with my parents for dim sum once, and ended up wearing the same thing as my mom (but in a different colour). You have no idea how embarrassed I felt. I think I wore my jacket the entire time.

^ LOL, oh man, I know how you feel. Having the same bag as 3 other girls in my school is hard enough but I refuse to change it!

Well, I ended up only being able to catch the first 10 minutes of it. They already started shooting pictures for Halloween. xD

If me and my mom come out of our rooms wearing the same colour, even if it's an entirely different shirt, we'll both cringe and one of us will change, without fail. Let alone an identical shirt!!

I don't really mind so much if I have the same bag/clothing as other people on the street or at school or whatever. It's just my mom. LOL

Well, you can really blame the kids. They didn't really ASK to be in the spotlight. :/ Now that I think about it, I guess they are getting most of their money from the sponsers and the shows. But Jon still works.
