Jon & Kate Ratings Gold

Like a car wreck on the freeway, people just couldn’t help but gawk at the travesty loving referred to as Jon & Kate Plus Eight.

Guess no one is listening to you, Kate’s famewhore brother!

Monday night’s episode of their reality show, where the couple revealed their plans for divorce, brought in record ratings for TLC. The special one-hour episode attracted a ridiculous 10.6 million viewers, which is almost a million more than the season’s premiere.

We announced that the show will be going on hiatus until August 3rd, as TLC wants to give the family “some time off to regroup.”

We are assuming they are under the impression that the fascination won’t dwindle over a month;s time, which is a pretty safe bet.

But what kind of show will be returning? Only time will tell.
