From the start I felt sorry for this guy. Kate wanted only "one more," and got six. Then Jon loses his job and is out of work for a year. Then they're broke for a time, and continue with the show to keep the money coming in.
And the evident fatigue--he hasn't had a decent night's sleep for years, I'm sure. And then to undergo a a very public orchidectomy--and without anesthesia, his wife wielding the knife... Thank God the chopper guys are giving him a bike. He needs an escape, if only to gain one single goddamn minute to himself..
@dell123: He got fired because he said he could whore his kids out and make more money than what he made as an IT analyst. It was in a interview but i cant seem to find it.
And Kate only wanted one more? THEY wanted one more. And when you do fertility drugs you run the risk of birthing a litter like a golden retriever underneath the stairs.
This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach. Jon and Kate seem to have forgotten that they have children. How could Jon move to NYC? What about his kids? These people are incredibly selfish and their children would be better off elsewhere.
@mimilove: I grew up in NY and my father lived in Baltimore. I saw my father regularly. I ended up having 4 loving parents in 2 models of loving relationships instead of 2 miserable parents in an unworkable marriage. My parents are happy because they are living the lives they want to live and my brother and I turned out just fine. NYC is a few short hours from Pennsylvania.
Jon needs to lay off the beer and salty bar foods. He's puffing up like the Michelin Man.
Also, Trump Tower is what these people think of as a swanky NY address. That and Kate's shiteous wardrobe and grooming - not only the hair but the French manicured nail extensions and tanning booth look - they're not even good at being nouveau riche. With that kind of dough per episode I would have my own Barney's personal shopper working round the clock.
He wanted O.U.T. of the whole thing, the marriage, the kids, the show, everything. If that man breathed for like 2 minutes unassisted Kate nearly had a breakdown. I guess he figured sabotaging it all was the only way to go. It kinda backfired, 'cause the show is even more popular now, but I think if dude could just go back to being a single guy with a non-exciting IT job, drink beer on Fridays, and zoom the girls by the jukebox, he'd be a happy guy.
Which really doesn't explain Trump Towers. That seems just silly if your cash cow show is about to be over, and you have no discernable skills to speak of. I get the feeling he's not the best with handling money either, as he appears to be an over aged frat boy. It's possible he'd spend all his money on Red Bull and Hot Pockets.
Seriously, if Jon and Kate divorce, what is Jon Goselin going to do with his life? Just think of the child support payments.... and the loss of income.
If he is that miserable with such a fine woman as Kate, then he should take his lame old ass and get out. SHE will move on to a far better relationship whereas this dude ain't heading no place but south.
So having a litter of kids really does pay off? Sigh. Before they popped out all those little meal tickets, Jon was an IT analyst. He was the annoying tech guy in your office! Now he's looking for million dollar apartments in NYC.
Where the hell did you get that picture of him? He looks like a 68 year old lady who just had a chemical peel, an eyebrow waxing, and a fourth martini.
Wait. He has 8 Kids, he was looking for an apartment on the 8th floor, and he reportedly has an 8-inch penis. 8-8-8. What is the message you're trying to tell me Jon, what?!? Just give me a little time and I swear I will figure it out and then I will come find you and we can be together forever. Love, your bestest fan.
I don't know what girls see in him. Well, I guess you could boss him around and make him buy you stuff. Otherwise he's just fat, old, passive, stupid, etc.
@autoclavicle: Well, he's not old because he's only 32; he might be a bit on the fat side but that can be changed with a little work. I seriously doubt he is passive or stupid. He just looked that way next to that swine he married.
From what I remember from the very early episodes, Jon was quite handsome when he was younger and when he met Kate he had just returned home from backpacking around Europe for several months. His Daddy was a successful dentist and Jon had zero motivation. I've always wondered why he married her in the first place, he was so young. Then again, she was a good looking blond. (He said he was shocked when she was pregnant and couldn't dye her hair and he discovered she was actually a brunette!!!)
At any rate, if they do divorce, it would be best for them and the babies will adjust to the circumstances. At least I hope so. (I'm not so sure about Mady, but the others will adjust.)
@mathnet: For the past season they were making $70,000/episode. I think they do 18 episodes so, add that up. They are making more this season. Plus, Kate has TWO books on the NYT bestseller list PLUS they did several "motivational" talks (HA!!) around the country at $10-$15,000/each. That adds up to a ton of money. Jon can afford the Trump even if they do split the money in half. (Though why he would want to live in Trump Towers is beyond me.)
@mslewis: Do the kids get money in addition to that? Or does a portion of the $70K per episode have to be put away for them? I haven't seen the show but my impression is that it's about the kids, essentially, so assume that they are considered actors and are getting paid. Right?

I'd be drinkin' an whorin', too.

He probably would be really vigilant about condoms, though.

You can tell natural hair color by looking at eyebrows. You'd have to be stupid not to know that.

Dear gawd, it's almost as thought people should consider things other than hair color when choosing a mate. Say it ain't so!

Don't hate the playah, hate the game,
Jon,
Play your game playah, there ain't no shame.
