From Kate's own parent, to Kevin and Jodi to Beth Carson. Even the 20+ nannies and helpers which have been replaced more times than Kate changes the kids diapers.
Then we have Jon, who at the end of Season 4, stated that he didn't want to continue to Season 5. Kate on the other hand clearly said that she "loved it" and wants to continue doing it. Months later, Kate leaves Jon and has her own TV series. Coinkydink?
So what will happen to the kids once Kate no longer has a show and isn't profiting from them? History tells me that Kate will drop her kids like she dropped everyone else. History does repeat itself. Won't be long til Kate screams how she "sacrificed" everything for her kids and how they should be thankful for her. Oh wait.....
What will happen to the McMansion? Where will Kate and her kids go once TLC drops her and she is no longer making the money she needs to live her current lifestyle?
Flashback! Jon says he wants to end the show, Kate says she loves the attention she's getting.

This is the first time I've seen that. Man, they didn't have a chance as a couple at that point, did they.
@Laura D.
I think this was when TLC approached Kate that she could have her own show. All she had to do was get rid of Jon.
TLC hitched their cart to the wrong horse. Kate, by herself, was never the draw. It was the entire family dynamic. Why TLC didn't understand this is beyond me. They have to pump in so much money to keep this woman in the news and relevant. I doubt they've gotten much return on this investment.
I don't think anyone who really knows what is going on with Kate Gosselin would be surprised if she ups and leaves those children when they are no longer of use to her. But, that may be the best thing that could happen to those children.
Paula I agree with you 100%. Here's a scenario: Jon gets his life together, re-marries, and is able to provide a stable home for the kids (shoot, Kate might even give Jon the house.) Kate slowly weens herself away from them, little by little, until they end up with dad full time and she's off cougaring around Hollywood. Oh yes, I can totally see that.
@Paula
Exactly. Which is why they are milking the 8 kids for all they're worth.
No mentions of "Twist of Kate" any where.
I am convinced that was the epiphany that she had on a plane somewhere that they were not going to survive this - this being that Jon wanted to quit filming and concentrate on their marriage and be a family again and that he did not want an open marriage and she was not going to give Steve up.
Funny when she had that interview she mumbled this about being on a plane blah - blah - um ah - mmm.
Why don't TLC just get Octomom and the octuplets. She really needs a job and I think it would make for great TV, or did they try and she refused to sell her kids out. One has to wonder. Then Khatan would probably go catatonic and the kids would get to go and live with Jon.
I watched that video and her voice just grates on my nerves. She had to snatch the pen from him and write her's fist when it was his idea - how can Steve put up with that crap. One has to wonder about motive when it comes to anyone putting willing to put up with that beitch. She literally makes me sick.
her's first --- not fist --- although if the shoe fits---
Yeah, that was a little sample of what Jon puts up with.. Kate is a freaking tool.
She always has to be the first at something or the best one at something.
Even though she's clueless about everything.
JJ - do you know when this was filmed?
I'm curious because I wonder if this was filmed before or after their marriage was over. I can't stand how Kate just sits their and bullshits the audience. Jon, I'm not a big fan of but at least the kids like HIM.
@Lauren
Not sure when it was filmed, but that episode first aired on March 23, 2009.
This was filmed during the period when Jon was already living over the garage. He had already been photographed out with the co-eds. I believe he was already seeing Deanna by then but I don't think the shit had hit the fan yet.
Twisted Kate is not mentioned anywhere at TLC's page. I think it's history.
Someone on another site mentioned that they just got their new Dish network guide and Twist of Kate is mentioned as a new show coming in November.
A very telling clip
It follows the story I always believed to be true:
1)Jon is sick of being a stay at home dad
2) Khate loves the fame more then anything
3) Jon has had enough of the show ...and of 'the body gaurd'
4) he wants to quit, she of course "loves it" and will not...becuase frankly when has she ever cared about what he wants?
5) Garage is built for him, they play pretend nice so the show can go on while he desparately tries to get out of season five
then...
KABOOM
No new show for the upcoming month. Kate is currently unemployed? How will she and Jon support their current lifestyle?
This was painful to watch.
Jon was so clearly unhappy and Kate simply didn't care.
The "ironing" comment and the pen grabbing were in true Kate style. I cringed and wondered how Jon put up with her as long as he did.
^ I forgot about that. What a bitch move by Kate. Wanting to be the "first" at everything. Clearly shows some of her narcissistic personality.
I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw this way back when. How unhappy Jon looked and how many times Kate interrupted him, talked over him and talked on behalf of him and how it all seemed so wrong. She kept looking at him like he had better not misspeak and when he starts to say we may or may not be back, she puts her hand in front of his face as she 'irons' and tries to end the interview. It infuriated me then and now. Also, look at how worried, haggard, and tired she looks in the clip and how over it he is. She looks like she's been ragging him for days, literally, before this was filmed. This is why I still have a soft spot for Jon. He suffered mightily being married to that bad-breathed bitch.
