TLC has just announced what we all have seen coming for some time now – they are finished with Jon
and his tabloid-loving antics.
The new show, to be titled Kate Plus 8, will relaunch on November 2 and take a deeper look into Kate’s new life as a single mom of 8 kids. Jon won’t be out of the picture completely, however, as TLC is retaining their exclusive rights contract with him. He will still be shown from time to time, however he will not a regular part of the reality tv show (kind of like his role as a father!!).
This news is not surprising, and comes on the heels of the show’s worst ratings to date: just over 1 million viewers tuned in to the last aired episode (compared to the 10 million voyeurs who watched Jon and Kate announce their divorce).
Will the change in format bring you back to the show?
