Bring the friends together for Jon and Kate

July 28, 2009

Like it or not, much of this year has seen the media focus on the family drama of Jon and Kate Gosselin.

The parents of eight children had been featured on television for five seasons, depicting their life as they managed fraternal twins and sextuplets.

However the show hit a snag in its latest season when it was revealed that the couple was having marital problems, which eventually led to filing a divorce late last month.

Come August 3, the couple will once again return to their reality show, a fractured family in front of the camera.

Though it may be a bit sickening to some, it's hard to deny the draw of the show's recent popularity with even some casual viewers wondering what's going to happen next.

And since no one likes watching reality television alone, consider inviting some friends over for a television watching party, where all of you can dish over the Gosselin's and speculate about who Jon is dating now.

As for food, have a little fun with the show and serve a favorite summertime treat: banana splits.
