Talk about being ostracised at the water cooler at work this morning…I should have watched the whole thing, that documentary on Jon and Kate Gosselin and their brood of eight (EIGHT!) – but with a tantrumming three-year-old insisting she stay up for another installment of Rhapsody and Harmony on Fairies and then 235 readings of Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy before she’d call it a night, I missed it. Well, most if it, anyway.
When I finally got to the telly, Jon and Kate were saying, quite categorically (well, Jon was adamant), that they were ‘done’ having kids. No more for them. Eight is, indeed, enough. But Kate looked a bit unsure to me – I reckon she’d be up for another one, given half a chance. Or given another decent bloke to have it with. Apparently, (I overheard my colleagues saying), Kate showed everyone her tree-branch stretch marks spreading out, alien-tentacle-like, all over her post-sextuplets (and twins before that – yow!) belly. I would have loved to have seen that, I must say. There’s nothing like hearing about someone else’s dire domestic disasters – and seeing their full-on, no-amount-of-Bio-Oil-is-ever-gonna-fix-that stretch-mark situation to really cheer a girl up.
And then, before I had time to reach for the remote, Rush came on. I’ve never seen it before – and I know there was something else I was gagging to see, but I was too exhausted to move. And so I watched, I dunno, say, 15 minutes or so before I fell asleep. I couldn’t work out why this crack team of hot-looking/cool-acting cops had gone into a peaceful prison – looked to me like everything was fine before they got there. And then, all of a sudden, it kicked off big time. Out of nowhere came demands from inmates (met with derision by the cops), resulting in a riot. Oh, and that woman, you know, the actor who used to be in Water Rats knocked someone off their bike, too.
So what about you? What did you make of Jon and Kate? And is Rush actually any good?
Jon Gosselin is a DOUCHE.
She was upset because Santoro wasn’t the National Guard.
Vick is no good! He is an animal torturer! Get him off my team or it won’t be my team anymore.
What a mess, I used to love this show when it was all in innocence.
Who cares about these 2 idiots, never heard of them. I could care less if they divorced, Throw her the high hard one ,that will straighten her out.
They really need to end the reality show and move on with their lives. It was pitifull to see Kate checking into a hotel. She should know that she can’t be at the house when he has his custody. She needs to find an alternate place to stay. I don’t know what they are thinking. It is a ll a big joke now.

Rush is possibly the worst Australian TV show I have ever seen.
I watched one episode in full, and have avoided it ever since. The one time I accidentally turned it on again, it was the same episode. Terrible acting, terrible story lines, the ads make me cringe… Which is unfortunate because some of the actors involved are usually quite good.
Haven’t watched Jon and Kate but know a bit about it, seems like trash tv to me.
