Jon and Kate: Give Me A Break!

I have to admit that I am a reality TV show junkie. My most favorite reality TV show at the moment is 18 Kids and Counting, which airs on Tuesday nights on TLC. The show is based around the Duggar Family. The Duggar’s are a considered Independent Baptist that is associated with the Conservative Christian movement called Quiverfull. In a nutshell: Quiverfull is when families try to have as many children as possible and do not use any birth control. They just have as many children as "God intends them to have.

I find this family fascinating. All of their children’s’ name start with a “J”. Critics say they are a cult, led by their father Jim Bob (don’t let his name scare you). I say, they are just a conservative family who promotes Christ as the center of their family. I’m not sure what is really wrong with that? They don’t watch TV, and they regulate their children’s’ use of the internet, and their mother, Michelle, home schools them. I will admit when I first starting watching, the sheer site of their long hair, and long skirt fashions did remind me of one’s you might see on a polygamist compound in Utah, but they are pretty darn normal otherwise.
This brings me to my “pop off”. What the hell is with Jon and Kate, from Jon and Kate plus 8? Ok, I admit I watch this show too, but after watching the season premier last night, I am thoroughly disgusted with Posh Spice…er umm…I mean Kate, and probably will not continue to watch the show.

Seriously Kate, get a life. You have 8 happy and healthy children, 6 of which have made you very rich. Really? Really, are you going to let your so-called fame wreck your marriage and your family? I wanted to cry out in pain when I was watching her interview. She was turning on the tears, while at the same time saying, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to ruin my make-up.” Really? You want to ruin your marriage, but you don’t want to ruin your make-up?

Let’s not forget Jon. Jon is a complete douche bag! He didn’t even want to go through with the IVF that netted him 6 additional children, and he didn’t want to continue with another season of JK+8. BUT, douche-bag Jon obviously can’t say no to K- Spice. So, instead of standing up to her and saying, “No, I want to save my marriage”, he signs another contract for a cool $50, 000 per episode with TLC. At the same time he looks like a man that’s about to go over the edge. You have K-Spice on one side that has every hair in place, and make-up applied perfectly. Then you have D-B Jon, who looks like he just got out of bed and can’t even fathom the idea of combing his hair.

I especially love how K-Spice believes the Paparazzi follow her. She was telling her kids to hurry up because the Paparazzi where trailing them. You later see literally 3 people taking pictures of her. Duh, they were probably curious people you retard! Maybe now that she is allegedly having an affair with her bodyguard (does she really need a bodygaurd?), and Jon is out partying it up, the BIG P might be following them a little more closely. She is by far a celebrity, and I really wish she could get her big head out of her *ss, and realize what she is doing to her marriage and her family. Furthermore, I wish TLC would step-up to the plate and say, “this is not what WE signed up for” and cancel the damn show.

K-spice believes she has “fans” as she so eloquently stated. I think she said, “I love my fans, they are just so great” She more or less likes the fact that her "fans" have made her rich. Hey lady, get a grip on life! The only fans you should be concerned with are your true fans…..the one’s that look to you everyday for guidance and support. The one’s who count on you to be a good role-model, and to be a good mom. Those fans are priceless…those fans are your children.
