Jon & Kate Gosselin To Announce "Life-Changing Decision" On Monday's Show (VIDEO)

Jon & Kate Gosselin will announce a "life-changing decision" on Monday's show, according to a promo for the special one-hour "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

"Recently we've made some life-changing decisions," Kate says in the clip. "Decisions that will affect every member of our family, ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace."

The couple's troubled marriage has been in the media spotlight for weeks, though they were spotted together this week with their children at their Pennsylvania home.

The promo clip, seen below, may be TLC's attempt to revive the show's ratings, which are way up compared to previous seasons but have fallen drastically from the record-setting season premiere last month.

Pffft, when I see this show on television, I always make a channel changing decision.

[tigerlyly]

...and the circling masses salivate.

Something unpleasant might happen to she who shall not be named? Excellent, because you know I'm just concerned about the kids.

[MamacitaOfLove]

"she who shall not be named"

Most excellent post!

[foxistoofunny]

Kate Gosselin and Jim Bob Duggar have been an item for the last six months.

For gawd's sake, give me a break, consider an hour on tv of your life: you've never spanked your kids? you've never said no to them, they'll get that drink in a minute?

[MamacitaOfLove]

There are no words...

[takeyourballandgohome]

You are missing something. Kate swats anyone and anything in her reach. And, for your information, parenting does not, may I repeat to you, DOES NOT, include laying a hand on your child in anger or spastic reaction.....you are wrong, wrong about this one. She is prob best being filmed b/c you can see those kids all just a tad too obedient, meaning they know the consequences of God forbid, getting a spot on their clothes.

[foxistoofunny]

I think the Gosselins and the Duggars should do a wife swap show. Kate would have to grow out the mullet, get a bad perm, and wear long denim skirts. Michelle would have to expose herself to dancing kids. The possibilies for shows are endless.

RATINGS COUP !! Can you say NEW SHOW entitled, " Kate plus 8" ? Premise: Single Mom raising 8 kids and dating ! It is a combination of "Super Nanny", "The Bachelorette", and "Wife Swap" since you'll see the ex-husband and a series of new girlfriends taking care of the kids every-other-weekend!!

[Badgirl]

Every week, you get to vote one kid off the show!!

[alienobserver]

that's funny!

[SmokinJoeCalculus]

brilliant!

[shanester]

They're going to join the Palins for a new reality show: "Who's the most annoying couple in America"

America YOU decide!!

[ladyvader]

Maybe they are announcing they are going to quit doing the show. That would be nice. Take the Duggers with you if you do quit.

[mcarlsonus]

(hope this ISN'T the, "sex tape recently revealed!" announcement!)

[Janice Rawlins]

Jon and kate both have a bad additude. Kate loves the attention and she will use her kids to get it. I dis like the show and the way she handles her kids. Kate and Jon use their kids to make money and fame from six little kids. I have a sister who has that many and she is a excellent single parent. Kate is bossy and will do anything to get the attention.... just look how her belly was after the kids and now she has a belly with nothing but a surgery flat stomach. Why do we want to watch people on TV raise their kids when here in our neighbor hood we see better parenting skills, then what Kate and Jon are doing with their own children.... Think about it..........Its all about kids making mommy and daddy who they are..........and the abuse is on TV with Kate whipping her kids. I watched one time were one was thristy and she was drinking a bottle of water while they watched her.......she needs help!

[Superdog]

There are EIGHT kids--not six: they have twins and sextuplets. You see, the title of the show is "Jon and Kate Plus Eight." I'm just sayin'.

[hl7]

Jon + Kate + 8($50,000 x episode) - Jon = fantasy + tragedy. I feel sorry for the kids.

[KellyKay]

Maybe they can bring back that song from the 70's "Daddy don't walk so fast"

[Lisbeth35]

how about "Papa was a Rolling Stone"?

[Samlas]

I really don't understand why TLC stil has this show going.

[Pinky-up]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Meah]

Gosh, I am so glad to know when they will be on, so I will be sure not to watch them.

[Rick Garner]

While Jon & Kate are making some "life changing decisions," are you helping or hurting them and their children? Better yet, what are you doing for your own marriage? Refocus the chatter to praying for this family, their family's healing, and find resources and tools to help strengthen your marriage.

[Samlas]

They don't need prayers, they need to love their kids more than they love money !

[MamacitaOfLove]

ACTION is what's needed. Pray, sure. But Take some action J&K for the sake of your children.

[AngelFace43]

You're absolutely right; Jon and Kate got into this situation by chasing the money, and apparently thought nothing of sacrificing their family along the way. Hopefully the big announcement will not be that they are divorcing, but that they are going to do the right thing by quitting the show to work on saving their marriage and their family.

[DeeDeeDaGumby]

oh good grief , someone has gone and made a prayer website for those 2.. Don't ya think maybe God had other things to do besides worrying about those 2 spoiled rotten brats? Besides I am sure they know where every church around their community is.. Since that is where the love offerings come from.. maybe they should take their own selves to church and look to god for help with their marriage..

[ladyvader]

God isn't helping anyone do anything.
