the more I read on GWOP there more I wan to defend J&K+8

I love the post from jodie's sister aunt...whoever that Jodie and Kevin are opening up to Star magazine, come on Star!!!! You can put the story right next to the Obama and alien story or 8,000 pound werewolf baby found story.

If it really wasn't about the money then why are they no longer on the show? Why not say you want to be a part of their lives no matter what. Family has and always will have problems and drama but if your concern is for the kids and not just a bitch session on why you're not getting paid, even though its NOT about the money, then just be there, push past the anger and be there.

If it were me and my family I would not want anyone getting paid for something that is about me, my wife, and my kids. The show is Jon & Kate plus 8, not Jon and Kate, plus 8, plus Kevin and Jodie, and the babysitters, the nannies, the guy at the grocery store, the butcher, baker, and candlestick maker.
Family members should not have to pay for other family members to babysit unless it becomes a job to the sitter, meaning that they are giving up their lives, income, etc... to help someone out, but did/does Jodi work? if not then if you wantt to watch the kids then watch them!

There is only a few exceptions that I can see if I were in that situation: If TLC wanted or needed Kevin and Jodie to disrupt their lives on a daily basis (meaning they lost income or had to take unpaid time) to be on the show, if this is the case then the TLC executives would/should work it out with J&K and Kevin and Jodie, most likely the execs would play hardball if Kate balked too much, so it was probably inititated by Kevin and Jodie looking for some pay for their time and effort. Another might be in the form of compensation for using thier house and other things that Kevin and Jodie would have to be compensated for, almost like expenses. Other than that if you don't want to be filmed then say no. Don't go whoring your story to rags like Star magazine for a payday at someone elses (menaing the kids) expense.
