Jon and Kate Plus 8 Announcement

There is supposed to be a big Jon and Kate announcement (Jon and Kate Plus 8) on Monday's episode. Speculation is that it is about a divorce. Given all the tabloids recently about the two of them, that'd be the easiest assumption.

What are they going to do, film a "Jon and Kate Plus 8 in two separate homes with custody, visitation, and child support" now? Can you imagine splitting up the household, dividing up toys, time, extra help, and having to buy extras for everything for two homes? Dad gets these children's clothes and mom gets these, dad gets these toys for his house and mom gets these, these pictures go to mom and these go to dad, these personalized baby gifts go to mom and the rest for dad, etc. Would the extra help just travel between the two homes? It's hard enough when you only have a couple kids but helping a family of children this size to adjust would be very difficult. It'd be neverending with all of those kids!

Maybe the announcement will be a reconciliation. The network would get more viewers if they turn this into a separation/divorce scenario though. They could probably get a few more years out of the show!
