To TLC, They're The Go$$elins!

The folks over at TLC are eating up all of the Jon & Kate dramz!

The network has ordered 40 episodes (!) for the current season of Jon & Kate Plus 8 with the assumption that this may be the final season for the reality show.

This announcement comes out after 9.8 million people tuned in to the season premiere on Monday night, making it the most-watched program of the night and the highest ratings TLC has ever received!

The cable network issued the following statement on Wednesday: “The show’s ratings have grown consistently, as there has been interest in these real-life issues of this real-life family. We will continue to air as the interest continues, and the family wants to do it.”

But there’s no need to feel sorry for the Gosselins.

They made their own bed and now they have to lie in it!
