What Will Kate and Jon Do Now?

The party's (almost) over--the series finale is coming up soon. What will these two people do now? If she is able to, Kate will continue her media career--another show, another book? I don't care what she does, really, as long as she doesn't drag her kids into it. If she has fans, they'll watch her no matter what she does. I won't. There are plenty of people who have "careers" in TV and the media that I have no idea why or how they got famous --Paris Hilton, Spencer and Heidi, etc.
Jon, who knows? I kinda feel like he has been painted into a corner--although he has done some of the "painting" himself--who is going to hire this guy?
In the end, I kind of feel sorry for them both, even though they did play a huge part in their own undoing. Kate is still the children's mother--and they need their mom. Hopefully, Kate can learn from this experience and become a better mother in time. Ditto for Jon. I say this with hope and optimisim because that is my sincere wish for the Gosselin children.

The Trainwreck Keeps on Truckin'

When will Jon and Kate both just SHUT UP? A divorce is hard enough without making the dirty details public. This is ridiculous. Enough already, people. Get on with your lives, Jon and Kate--give your children (and yourselves) some privacy during this difficult time. Find whatever "careers" you can WITHOUT involving your children in the process.

The media, including TLC, have expoited not only the children, but Jon and Kate as well. They're using you, guys. They know you are both weak when it comes to money. They know Kate is weak when it comes to not only the money, but the lifestyle, the fame, and the attention. Dangle those things in front of Kate and she'll do what the media want.
Many people at TLC and the production company have made far more money than either Jon or Kate has made from the series. Eileen O'Neill has made money and boosted her career in the process. What have the Gosselins really achieved? Some money, some freebies, and a ruined family. No real, long-term careers to speak of. Just a shell of a life. Was it really worth it, Jon and Kate?
