I'll tell you what's REALLY irritating - when Kate constantly nags and corrects her husband and tells him how irritating HE is. Man-up Jon and tell her what you think! Don't just sit there like her whipping boy.
This episode from Season 4 is the continuing saga of the multi-million dollar estate/compound they have moved to "because the kids deserve it". This weeks episode has Jon and Kate going to the tile store to pick out new tile to replace perfectly brand new-looking hardwoods in the basement(WHY?). They obviously have more money than sense now. But wait - wasn't it just last week that Kate was screaming at Jon over not using a $20 coupon? "It's like throwing money away." I guess throwing away perfectly good hardwood floors doesn't fall in the same category?! Kate whines that she really wants the dark gray slate, which Jon hates. Kate reminds him that most men tell there wives "you pick what you want honey". But those must be the men who have wives that don't nag and criticize them incessantly on national TV. But I guess she forgot.
Then, they have hired a contractor to repaint the basement walls. And just to make his day, they let the sextuplets overrun his "job" and they get to try to paint the walls themselves first. All the while, the contractor is running around wiping up their paint spills on the baseboard he had already painted the previous day. I sure hope "Mr. Trim" gets lots of job referrals for all the hassle he had to go through.
The worst part was the interview on the couch at the end. Kate wants to tell her version of the day but won't even let Jon speak. She is explaining that is was great for the kids to get involved in helping, in taking ownership.. Then Jon adds "cause it's their house". And Kate just berates him sarcastically: "Thanks for interrupting me,I LOVE when you do that...(she finishes her previous thought)... NOW would you like to speak? It's SO irritating that you talk over top of me. STILL. HOW long have we been doing these interviews? It's like you would've learned by now (followed by long moaning sigh)." So Kate is the only one who can have the floor at any given time. No one is allowed to interject their 2 cents worth. YOU GOT IT JON?
