Jon and Kate (mostly Kate, it seems) really pulled the wool over people's eyes.
I watched bits and pieces of their show now and then when channel surfing (and saw the "big premiere" this season, but haven't since). I used to sympathize about how hard it must be for them financially.
I never really cared much, but a couple of months ago, I came across an interesting article... it's simply SHOCKING:

- Seems Kate quite possibly planned on having sextuplets.
- She had a fight with her parents, because the cribs their church donated didn't match and weren't brand-new.
- They make something like $60,000 PER EPISODE! They're already millionaires, easily.
- Despite being loaded with money, Kate goes around to churches and charges them ~$25,000 just to speak (yes, 25 thousand dollars a pop).
- They also accept "love offerings" from the churchgoers (i.e. accepting money)... it's said she was even recently making it sound like they were struggling financially, so that churchgoers would give a maximum amount of money.
- There's lots more, but the "love offerings" thing is what I found craziest of all
