I used to watch that occasionally. What a ****ing mess. On the plus side, that's one of the shows that made me rethink my relationship with the TV.

I didn't realize it was the start of the new season and I was bummed out that they had a J&K8 marathon running all weekend. So, no I didn't watch.

Have you watched some of those episodes of Renovation Realities! Some of them have absolutely no clue! I would not want to live in some of those houses after they were 'done'.

Isn't that the truth! They both make me want to vomit (why did we not get a vomit smiley?) The best thing they can do is cancel that show, for the good of those kids!

She claims that Jon is a liar and has difficulty holding down a job and that he has never ever worked from home in any field, let alone the IT field.
You know, if Kate's sister is really badmouthing her family online, that's in really poor taste.

I loved the episode when she went to a really swanky steak house and was upset that they didn't have A-1 sauce. The staff ran to the store to get it for her. Good grief.

It is scary, it's like, oh well what the hell, let's knock out this load bearing wall, or well we'll just duct tape these wires together.

Not wishing to let on I've read too much about this but........Jodi is married to Kate's brother, she used to be on the show. The general feeling is that Jon might be under some kind of gag order and they are speaking to get his side of the story out. From what was and wasn't said on the show what they have said holds up, he may feel he hasn't cheated because they are separated. They have spoken to radar online, I do believe they have done this out of concern for the children.

what you say about them having already separated makes sense...I just wish, for the kids sake, they's cancel the show...but with ratings through the roof I don't see that happening

The kids will suffer no matter what happens, if the show stops and their mother has to stay home and take care of them she is going to be even worse to be around. Maybe keeping the show going and getting them some counseling might be better, strange as that is.

Seems to me that J&K have dug a very deep hole for themselves. I think they genuinely started doing the show with good intentions, but once it became super-popular they were sort of stuck and became dependent on the income they got from the show. They're paid lots and lots of money for each episode, and with 8 children to feed/clothe/house and save for, the income from the show is now irreplaceable. They live in a HUGE house with top-of-the-line appliances and features, and never wear hand-me-down clothes or use second-hand furniture or appliances. Neither of them holds a traditional job anymore -- the show IS their job -- so stopping the show means stopping the income.

I also think, for their family's sake, they should cancel the show. But since Kate very clearly stated that the show is "her job" and that she LOVES it, I doubt that will happen any time soon. Well, the fact that they went ahead and started a whole new season despite the deep trouble in their marriage says a lot, doesn't it?
