Forget that Mother’s Day-themed episode that was scheduled for Jon & Kate Plus 8 next Monday: There’s going to be a special one-hour edition, in which the Gosselins will “make an announcement,” as Kate says in a promotional commercial voice-over. “We’ve made some life-changing decisions,” she says in the spot.
Coming in the wake of the media flap over pictures of Kate disciplining one of her children, the episode should be widely viewed. Let’s hope the promised “decision” brings everyone some “peace” — the word Kate uses in the commercial.
UPDATE: It’s being reported that the announcement may be of a Gosselin divorce.

Please let it be that they are not going to do the show anymore.
In other words, “our ratings are falling, so here’s a cheap stunt to trick you into watching!”
Ratings stunt lol TLC is getting desperate here. I thought WWE’s Trump stunt was bad.

How much do you want to bet they’ve experience a genetic anomaly, and one of the girls is now pregnant with septuplets? Odds of this happening: 3 to 1.
John and Kates’s Life Changing Decision::

I’m with Shamrock. I hope the announcement is “We have decided to disappear from the public eye.”
kate: “we’ve decided to separate. but we love our kids dearly and we are thinking about them, regardless of everything. this is for the best.”
jon: “yeah, i have a hot date in a few. can we wrap this up?”
Why does the phrase Geraldo Rivera and Al Capone’s vault come to mind?
Ratings are low. Here comes drama to bring them back up.
Here’s my guess. MOAR BABEEZ!
I hope they decide to quit the show. If they don’t, I seriously question the judgement here. By putting their lives in the spotlight like this, they’ve whored out themselves and their children, and really should just stop.
I am sure it’s decision to officially seperate. Given until yesterday; they hadn’t been seen together in weeks. He missed their anniversary. They have been in different places with the kids and never together…
So I am sure they have seperated and will announce it on the show to give the world a reason why they haven’t been seen together…
Second guess: just like a sitcom, the producers feel the need to re-cast one of the leads to spruce things up. Since the producers are fans of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and since one of their actresses was the victim of a similar ploy, Jon will now be replaced by the first woman to play Will Smith’s Aunt Viv, Janet Hubert. The “announcement” refers to Kate having to tell the kids how daddy died in a horrible coke deal gone wrong and how Aunt Viv is now their second mommy. Odds of this happening: 5 to 2.
I’m guessing the tease is that they’ll be announcing that the show is ending or that Jon and Kate are getting divorced/are separating. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement turned out to be something silly like “We’re going to Disney World!”
Jon smoking a joint, Kate kissing her bodyguard according to Mady, don’t want to see any more disappointing news from this family which I really liked but has totally turned me off. I’m sure I’m not the only fan who feels this way.
