I watch this show because I can relate and am curious how a family works. I only have twins plus an older child and they often drive me crazy. I like to see how other families do it. Having multiples is a whole other challenge that families with singletons just dont and cant understand.

I was a great fan of the show but enough is enough..
Huge new house, help we won't show on tv, how rude of Oprah not to fly them all out to Chicago...Oh I know let's do a whole eppisode of Kate shopping and she can get more clothes free. TLC needs to stop this before it gets worse. Kate wants to pat herself on the back for taking all of her children on an outing she needs to try it like everyone else without the luxury box.

I don't get it. This show to me is really pothetic. I can't stomach how people would be into a bunch of octatublets and a brain-dead couple over more glamous shows. Come on people, you know what you like. Don't fall for this crap. Give ratings where ratings are due. No wonder why Lauren Conrad can't stand this show, she says if she sees her BFF Lo Bosworth watch another minute of this, she would kill herself. (refer to March issue of Seventeen Magazine) JK+8 may be a ratings hit, but it's nowhere near a phenomenon. It's just a default pleasure given our times, and given The Hills is not as good as it use to be during regular Season 3 and before it. Lauren Conrad hates this show also because this pothetic show is getting more viewers than a more glamourous show like The Hills.

I also want to add that I do hope they can work things out for the kids , but She has really made me angry the way she treats him "like a dog".
