Sad night in television. Jon and Kate Gosselin filed for divorce to end their 10 year marriage. I cried. The episode was very sad. There were a few comments that didn’t sit well with me however. The first of which being when Kate said, “the show must go on..” why? Are they going to chronicle their divorce proceedings. The second of which being when Kate said, “Jon won’t talk to me. I would love to discuss it with him but he won’t.” and later when Jon said, “I’m not a very good communicator.” Obviously. Have they tried marriage counseling? Although it seems Jon checked out long ago, it would have been nice if they tried marriage counseling.
The kids are who I feel the worst for. They are going to be so confused that they live at a house, but their mom lives there a few days and there dad lives there a few days. And then I loved how Jon, in response to his continuing to be on the show, was like, “who knows, I might get a job..” um..I don’t think anyone is going to hire you with paparrazzi permanently stuck to your ass. It’s sad it really is.
I think if someone offered me a television show – I would say no. It never ends well. Look at another of my favorite couples, Jessica and Nick Lache. They spent their first year of marriage being tailed by a video crew and look where it got them d-i-v-o-r-c-e. Sad because they were so cute. Who else? Carmen Electra and Dave had a show. I forget what it was called. Then there is always the Anna Nicole Smith Show – god I loved that woman and now she is no longer with us.
On the flip side, there is always those that make it on reality tv. Gene Simmons is still doing okay, the Osborne’s are there (don’t know if they are okay), Tori and Dean are still together..let’s see how things pan out for Kendra Wilkinson.
