Kate has been running her mouth a little more than usual the past few days on Twitter. Notable among all the twitter-twatter is her description of a fieldtrip she was dragged on with the sextuplets.
Said Kate of the hiking trip: "Kateplusmy8Kate It was pretty dull. A 'nature walk' thru poison ivy fields&then lunch in a pavillion.K awards at end were cute tho!" And later, as she described the hike, she added, "That's what I was thinking.all the places our climbing shoes we were wearing have been..2stave off boredom I guess!"
Unbelievably ungrateful mother.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 488 Newer› Newest»Tis the Season, that is TOO funny! Guess she can't look on a map and realize she's in the relative same latitude as The Netherlands - as is Germany, where it was about 70, pollen in full blow everywhere. She is so dumb.
I just watched the Billy Ray Cyrus show on TLC, about surprise homecomings for deployed service members (wonderful show). Kate will be on next week and it's the birthday episode. They show her partying it up in a club while the kids absolutely destroy the house, then show one of the kids telling her they rode sleeping bags down the stairs (well, they tell her cankles as she was on sky-high heels) and she turns around and says to the not-a-nanny, "Are you serious?" Pre-blow-up, apparently. BORING. Same old crap. Ironic that she finds her kids' field trip dull and thinks that her family's life is TV-worthy!

Eh, she probably thinks latitude just means Latin Americans with an attitude.
Suspicious to me. Worse if Kate isn't honest with her children and her relationship then those children are going to need all of the money for counseling. WOW, this is really blowing my mind, no wonder Kate ignores the Hollywood producers, actors, etc., she has Jaime.
Always wondered about Kate not dating, when she had lots of opportunities while in Hollywood.
Lots of guys wanted to date her.
_______________________
Kate ignored Hollywood producers? I thought no one in Hollywood wanted to hire her! And what opportunities did she have to date in Hollywood? I thought no guys wanted her, that they were paid to flirt with her.
Admin, you literally made me bust out laughing. Then I realized Kate probably couldn't find Latin America on a map (because she'd think it's a country like Korea) and laughed even more. She does know a thing or two about attitude though...

Not defending Kate here, but I have a friend who recently moved to Amsterdam, and she thought it would be summer by now! She said it's really chilly there - more like our spring, with daytime highs only the 50s, and 40s at night. We may be in relatively the same latitude, but you'd never know it with the difference in temps between PA and Holland.
We have excessive heat warnings going on right now. I'd mention how nice it is to have a POOL, but well, you know...
The temp doesn't have anything to do with what season you're in. If spring is cold in Holland, it's still the spring season
Right, hence the expression unseasonably warm or unseasonably cold.
If Kate were asking about the temp., she would have asked how the weather was, or if it were spring-like. She's consistently dumb, there's no way around it.
I have some doubts about Kate's story about the chickens being killed by the dog for a couple reasons.
First, Kate told it so it's likely a lie ;)
Second, if the dog killed them, why'd he kill 8? If the dog killed them, I doubt he would have been so exacting.
One of my friends had chickens and recently a dog broke into his coop and killed his chickens and the dog killed them ALL.
It did not stop to count out half of them or some percentage. It was not a mean dog or anything either, but he was a Lab and probably the birds flapping around triggered some hunting instinct or something and he just went after them.
The dog had been around the chickens with no problems prior, but that day..problems, so it can happen.
I wouldn't place blame on Shoka if it did happen because it's a HUMAN management issue, not the dog's fault if it did happen, but again a dog would not be counting out the number of chickens it kills.
One other thing I wanted to address that has been bothering me for a while. I wish people would not suggest that Kate get a cat or a small/smaller dog. Kate should not have ANY pets. She should not even have custody of those kids. A cat or a small/smaller dog would be in serious danger at that house though because those kids are (and I am not saying this to be mean to the kids) NOT well behaved.
A cat or a small dog can be seriously injured, unintentionally, by rough play. We have seen pictured of one of the children with a bat near the German Shepherds, I believe.
We have seen them being mean to each other, certainly. That house would just really be unsafe for a smaller animal. I don't particularly think is a good/safe environment for Shoka, but at least he's probably not going to have a leg broken by rough treatment because he's a fairly sturdy dog.
Also, there is no way that a small dog can live like she expects Shoka to live (outside 24/7) and we know she would not let a dog/cat be inside.
Just me, I don't think we suggested Kate get a cat.
We suggested she start with a cactus you have to water once a year.
You know I have to add, it bothers me that Kate thinks any problems with the dogs are one big joke.
IF this dog did kill eight chickens, that is a problem. It is a dog issue, a human issue, a coop issue, all of the above, etc. She doesn't care about finding out why this happened and how to fix it (whatever happened to her, what's wrong, why is it doing that, how do I fix it??? mantra???). Instead she just wants to tweet and make light of it and get attention.

"Something very interesting happening in UTAH, during the family trip, Jaime was there with Jon, Kate, Steve and Jodi and Beth had to fly to Utah to help pack everyone up."

Jamie was in Utah? I don't think so. Beth was there for nearly the entire trip, then left early with Kayla to go home. It was Jodi who flew out there to pack up everyone.
PatK said... Thanks to Kate's twittering fingers, everyone now knows that Hannah's "migraines" stopped two years ago and she moved into Leah and Alexis' room. (Gee, didn't Kate admit at one time that she had her own room because she was a "disturber"? Make up your mind, Katie.)
++++
When they announced the move, Alexis was getting her own room as she was a disturber. When they moved into the house, they announced that Hannah would get the room as she had migraines.
The temp doesn't have anything to do with what season you're in. If spring is cold in Holland, it's still the spring season
++++++++++++++++
Tell that to Kate. She asked what season they were in, meaning, is it warm there, is it cold there? Based on other remarks she has made about "seasons," it is all about the temp!
Isn't it unusual for migraines to just suddenly go away? That seems odd.
I think Hannah is a smart kid and maybe saw she got what she wanted when she got a headache. I think these kids are going to walk all over Kate in a few years time. They already are.
I think Kate was asking about seasons because Australia is the opposite of us and she thought Holland/Europe might be too.
Admin, yes I was surprised to hear Hannah's migraines were gone. I think that's unusual from people I've known who have them.
We assume because Kate married, had 8 children, that she is heterosexual. Common occurance, she is not heterosexual.Kate has always known that she should "marry a man" because that is what her father and his religion said to do, so she did. She then made Jon miserable, 8 kids miserable and she is in love with Jaime, only TLC never knew any of this was going on until they moved to Wernersville, and that is when Steve got put into the house, to keep peace, to pretend that he was a boyfriend when he was a handled and he covered over Kate and Jaime.
those pics on the bench are Kate looking shy while Jaime does the romancing. Kate does look as though she is 17 and a virgin again, but Jaime does not.
I always thought there was something very confident about Jaime when she was with Kate but I couldn't figure it out, but my partner said, they are homosexual and trying to hide it, they always want to hold hands as they walk with the kids. Sounds and now looks right to me.

Still living with Kate, which would be a perpetual headache.
To me, Kate saying Hannah had migraines is like Kate's 'low blood sugar', 'OCD', and possible 'PCOS'. Just terms Kate uses to get attention.
We don't know that Hannah was diagnosed with them by a doctor.
Anonymous at 8:01 p.m.,
I remember that Utah trip and "The Last of Beth" episode so clearly because I wrote about it on the "other" blog. My comments were poo pooed and mostly ignored; then the whole thing was dropped. It was significant to me because that was the last time Beth-the-Best-Friend was ever seen or heard from. She was just GONE, POOF!
It went like this:
J&K went out to dinner, leaving Beth with the kids. The kids and Beth were gathered around the island in the kitchen, finishing dinner.
Maddy was in one of her need-for-extra-attention moods, acting coy and sort of baiting Beth with some outrageous conversation. Now I cannot remember exactly what she said, but Maddy made a claim about something that was a bit off-color and Beth sternly reprimanded her, telling her to knock it off. Beth also told her if she continued that subject of conversation (sorry, don't remember it), Maddy would spend the rest of the evening upstairs in bed.
Well, you can guess what happened next, in light of the fact that this little girl was starved for attention and she was finally succeeding in getting some that belonged to her, and only her (negative though it may be). She made another comment that was partially 'beeped' out and Beth BLEW! She bent down to be at Maddy's level and looked her squarely in the face and (kind of shrieked) said, "Are you out of your mind?" And then she chased Maddy up the stairs to J&K's room, telling her not to come out until her mother got home and they (Beth and Kart) "...had discussed it."
With the exception of ALL the words, I remember this like it was yesterday. I remember thinking that Maddy must have exposed some big deal J&K filming secret, sort of like the swimming pool we weren't supposed to know about, except on a much more intimate level. I also thought it must have been pretty 'bad' because Beth wasn't the type to 'shriek' at a child and come so completely undone.
Anyone else remember this? Sorry, I don't know how to find episodes and make links.
I always thought whatever it was that Maddy said to Beth was either something that made it necessary for Kart to end their friendship, like too close for comfort. Or maybe it was the last straw for Beth, making it impossible for HER to continue the frienship.
To this day, I remember thinking it was just SO STRANGE! Anyone else?

Jamie recently got married within the past 12 months to a man. So I don't think Jamie is a lebsian. And this was Jamie's second marriage. I think they posted those photos to generate people talking and speculating...nothing more.
Blah blah blah said... I think you have answered the question as to why the children are not allowed in Kart's bedroom under "penalty of severeness". WTF does that mean anyway? Beatings, stoning, death?
Kate's "office" is in her bedroom. Always thought that odd given the size of the McMansion. Maybe "office" is the code name for Jamie lol. She "gives at the office".

---------------------------
Personally, I always thought Kate just made up the excuse to give Hannah her own room as part of the special treatment she has always received:
-doing interviews with mommy and daddy
-being spoon fed(just her,not any of her siblings) on the b-day episode(cupcake gate)
-being carried around
-being allowed to throw a fit and be rewarded for it: when they went to see that show, when Jon was away Hannah threw a fit and Kate actually picked her up, in high heels and all. In NY, Collin hit his head in a wall and Kate kept walking holding Hannah's hand telling Collin "Oh you're fine"
-being allowed to call daddy when she cried for him while Joel was told he's grounded if he makes another sound or breaths too loud
-being allowed to hang out with Kate while everyone else was forced to get out of the bedroom on mother's day
And the list goes on. Honestly, I have no idea why Hannah is so special to Kate but her brothers may resent her for the special treatment.
As far as the Utah trip mystery is concerned, I have Netflix that streams automatically on my computer, and at times I will watch a portion of an episode to remind myself of things that are discussed here on the blog. When I went to look for the scene mentioned in Anon's post about the Maddy/Beth meltdown, guess what? All the episodes are available for live streaming EXCEPT the second half of the Utah ski trip. Kate's hysterics on the flight over are there, but most of the actuall trip is only on disc! Is there something TLC needs to cover up and not make so easily available?
Maybe tlc will air a show starring her and her Bestest Friend Forever but put it on their NEW reality show - Sexual Surrogates (Strange Sex). Would appear to be a 'fit' there (whether with BFF or BG/BF).

-------------------------
I just saw the scene youțre talking about and none of it is the way you're describing. Mady cried because Leah pushed her chair and Mady almost fell off hers.She told Leah "You hurt everybody" or sth like that.Beth told Mady: " Be nice..be nice" and Mady replied: I don't have to be nice,she's not a baby anymore" to which Beth retorted: "Are you for real?" and then chased her upstairs. And that was it.None of the stuff you're talking about.And Beth didn't really shriek.
I suspect that Jamie has been included to introduce a new dynamic and another adult that Kate can play off in the show. Have we all not commented that the show was better when Jon was a part of it? I think that is all it is and the speculation that Jamie and Kate are a couple is just adds fuel to a dying show. Jamie is nothing more than an opportunist and perhaps her husband did want his children exposed to reality TV and got primary custody. Don't you think Jon would have used leverage against TLC if Kate were lesbian or bisexual?
Did I read her tweet right? She leaves her sprinklers on all night?
I have a German shepherd who wouldn't hurt a fly. We just got a parakeet & the bird flies around & lands on my dogs head! My shepherd lets him, doesn't even disturb him. Shepherds are herders, not hunters. Kate's maybe trying to get a rise out of everyone, OR it is a big fat lie because the chickens were for that one show & that one show only & she needs an excuse to get rid of them. It's a bad one, but we are talking about Kate here.
~Hippie Chick~
I believe the dog killed the chickens. It was reported recently on another blog (gwop, I believe) that this poster drove by the house and could no longer see the chicken house. In fact, she/he was asking if anyone knew if they still had any chickens at all.
Seemed innocent and credible, and dovetails with Kate's report. Perhaps they were proactive in protecting the remaining chickens after the killings.
Dog breeds are somewhat homogeneous in their traits, but they are all individuals and may stray from profile.
Shoka was reportedly sent back to the breeder for training, but I think that's utter BS. For a year? And, without the owner ever present to participate? No. Not how dog training works.
Shoka is probably a lovely dog, but not trained to his potential as a great German Shepard.
she is in love with Jaime, only TLC never knew any of this was going on until they moved to Wernersville, and that is when Steve got put into the house, to keep peace, to pretend that he was a boyfriend when he was a handled and he covered over Kate and Jaime.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
Steve was a handled and covered over Kate and Jamie? I think that's called a threesome!
Admin said...
I think these kids are going to walk all over Kate in a few years time. They already are.
-----------------------
Or Kate just doesn't care what they do as long as the kids are out of her hair. She reminds me of those moms that let their kids go to the toy section of the store when they can't be more than 6 or 7. Um...hello? There are predators out there! For a few minutes of peace, isn't that pretty stupid? Kate gives me that impression too. When it was Jon & Kate & now just her, as long as the kids are not bothering her, they can kind of do what they want, which in turn will be them walking all over her. A bad lesson in life. Kate just isn't meant to mother. She lets those kids do whatever & have this freedom because they 'are living', yeah well, they are still kids & need discipline, but IMO, she lets them get away w/ too much, from what I have read.
And if she left her damn sprinklers on all night I want to have a few words with her about wasting water! And also setting bad examples for her children about keeping the earth green!
~Hippie Chick~
Reasons the field trip was boring:
-There were no cameras or Steve to flirt with.
-Perfect strangers were allowed within a two mile radius of her.
-She didn't have nannies along so it was hard to tweet AND pay attention to kids at the same time.
-No one was contractually obligated to listen to her screech or stare at her boobies.
-She didn't face any kind of fear, so the world actually stopped revolving.

She needs to say less per tweet or preferably just stfu altogether.

*****
IF her children have health problems involving blood sugar regulation and migraines, they should be on strict diets and not exposed to situations where they are without the nutritional support they need to mitigate their symptoms.
I suffered from migraines in my early 20's. I think they were hormonally related and they did thankfully go away. They were hell.
BUT, why is a child isolated, especially in a basement, when they are suffering? It's been a while since I've suffered, but nowadays there are medications that can be administered to alleviate the pain. Why the hell would you isolate a kid and not be there to give meds or injection?
That's what is really odd.
You don't just leave a kid to suffer without intervening somehow.
She doesn't know when her show is on, she doesn't know what season it is, she doesn't know when school is in. She just doesn't know. Twitter is SO not doing her any favors!
I am surprised Kate is saying she wants Summer to begin. It would seem to me she would absolutely dread having all 8 kids home every day wanting to be entertained. Oh wait, just because the kids are home, doesn't mean Kate is home....what was I thinking.

I've seen several people in comments recently mention cats and how they would be good to keep rodent population down. I think there was just one yesterday or the day before.
I agree that a cactus would be a good start for her. It would certainly match her "prickly" personality ;)
I have toy dog breeds and it always scares me when people suggest small dogs for people with kids because they really can be hurt and even killed accidentally.
When I placed dogs for rescue, I generally would not place a dog with a family that had kids unless the kids were older and I would never place a small dog in a house with 8 kids.
I wouldn't have placed 2 German Shepard puppies with Kate Gosselin, though either!
I only posted because a lot of people do not realize that small dogs are really not good to have in a household like that. I admit that it sounds better, in theory, but the reality is that a small dog would not be safe in that home, unfortunately.
I do think it's a shame that Shoka is not treated better, because pets are such good learning experiences and companions for children and they offer stability, which those kids certainly do need.
There was a link posted on another blog to an interview with Kate Gosselin done by Good Housekeeping. I couldn't find a date on the article, but it is about one year after the divorce. I read the article and typical Kate fluff.
Now that Kate is on Twitter and we're all concerned about what she is posting and putting the kids schedule info out there, there is one paragraph (on page 2) of the article that jumped out at me. Her response to Cara's concern about the alarm being set at night scares me. Imagine telling a child not to be concerned if the house alarm is set at night because Jesus is watching over her. Now I don't mean to disrespectful to anyone's religious beliefs, but I find her response irresponsible. Why look before crossing the street? Why scream like a lunatic while jumping off a building in a control jump in harness, if Jesus is watching over you.
http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/family/celebrity/kate-gosselin-divorce-2
“As your marriage ended, was your faith shaken?
KG: I'm still breathing because I have faith. My faith and my kids are the two things that matter. I'm going through this with my kids right now. They kind of feel shaken, and "Jesus loves you, no matter what" comes up a lot. Cara started asking me every night, "Did you turn the alarm on?" I'd tell her, "Yes, I did." She's feeling a bit vulnerable, so we've had discussions about how it doesn't matter if it's on or not, Jesus is watching you, he's with you, and that comforts me.”
Some twitter updates:
Yesterday Kate posted a sign made by the twins. Now the IW's are gushing over the sign. I guess they conveniently forgot "NO CAMERAS ALLOWED."
One twit is so proud of herself for planting a false story at another blog. What a crazy old bat this one is. Scary, creepy and total nutso. Perfect friend for Kate.
Tucker's Mom There is a chance Hannah did have them or severe headaches atleast. It is just hard to know if Kate EVER tells the truth.
Maggie, I don't agree with you. Marriage does not mean you are straight. Ann Heche, was married, then lesbian, now married. Both marriages were to men. They call it Bi-sexual. Jamie might be bi-sexual, and so might Kate be. They like men & women. In Kate case I think it's more of Friends with benefits, till the friend loses favor. I also think that Kate and kids have anger issues big time. Kate tweeted that the boys break things(feel sorry for those boys), then todays tweet, the handyman is coming to repair, damage the 8 kids made, oops the ones who did it and they know who they are. It must be a real fun place to grow up. And I don't buy the dog ate the chickens, just 8 of them. More likely Kate did not take care of them(remember the one that got peck to death, and how the dogs were the first time and why Jon took them away?). And isn't the dog chain up near the house? And I did laugh when Kate said the kids were off today, then this morning said they were off to school. Kate can't remember what she did 2 min ago. So how can she take care of chickens and dog & kids, cause all she wants to do is lay by the pool. Her new obsession.
"There was a link posted on another blog to an interview with Kate Gosselin done by Good Housekeeping. I couldn't find a date on the article, but it is about one year after the divorce. I read the article and typical Kate fluff."
______
That article came out in November of 2009. Their divorce was final in December of 2009. They had filed for divorce, but it had not yet been finalized. The title is "My Faith and My Kids Are What Matter."
I just saw the photos of Kate and Jaime. Yes, I think what we have here is a woman, Kate, who has lied her whole life about being homosexual. She married Jon, and I'll bet he always wondered about her anger, her always screaming, her not being affectionate but always slapping at him.
I think the whole thing blew up when Jaimi entered her life as a friend when they had twins and she kept ignoring her real feelings, but Jaimi has become first the trainer, then the babysitter, traveling Nanny. No, I don't think those photos are fun photos of teenage girls, because of how Jaimi, who usually stays in the background, quiet, just following Kate is now hanging over Kate, arms around Kate's legs.
There is a relationship and when Jon, TLC found out what was going on, Jon went to the garage, Steve moved into the house and TLC wanted to hide the "homosexual factor" but they could not control the divorce.
Jon learning all of this that his wife was a homosexual and had been abusing him for years, went a bit crazy, he was screwing every woman who had an interest in him but he never told anyone about Kate's sexual preference but he did act like a man who discovered sex with his actions, all the globe trotting, all the women.
He tried to tell everyone that it was more than a regular divorce, because for all of us "the whole divorce immediately came out of no where" and that is why Jon got therapy, has worked out his life after a lot of therapy. I think men do blame themselves for the lack of sex in a relationship. But Kate always was angry with Jon and the 3 boys, always. Always slapping one of those boys as she passed by, Mady even started doing it and the little girls were hitting the boys. Now it all makes senses. I think Jodi and Kevin saw it all.
Kate was always too hyped up and angry. When you are living a lie. You have a "family show" of all family shows and what are you suppose to do? You can't live a regular life and declare the way you want to live, you are under contract to TLC. TLC stuck Steve in their house so fast, and he has been controlling everything since then. He is indeed, the handler of the whole situation.
I think TLC gave Jon some type of settlement to keep his mouth shut until the contract either runs out or the ratings are not there, then Kate will be off the air. Then we will see the real Kate Gosselin, being true to herself and then you might see her living with Jaimi.
I don't care that Jaimi just got married or claimed to get married, she got a divorce, gave her children (twins) to her ex husband and lives with Kate now, travels with Kate, but TLC did not allow Jaimi to go to Australia and New Zealand and that also says a lot about how they were trying to separate "too much of Jaimi being around"
It all makes sense now, why Beth Carson and her family are no longer involved with the entire family. Keven and Jodi found out what was happening. They are pushed out of the family's life.
Paul Peterson and his group know all about this. Not because there is anything wrong with a woman being homosexual, but the whole turmoil, divorce, headlines, etc., was Kate being afraid to be "true to herself" which Jon has been saying for a couple of years now.
You cannot live a lie forever, you cannot. You have Cara and Mady now know that something was terribly wrong in their house and especially now, so much more going on in that house.
This is why Kate hates the press. She is so afraid that the press is going to find out and TLC will have to pull the show off the air because the fans think Kate has been all about a wife to a man, pretending they were something that they are not.
This is a mess. Living a lie has probably hurt this whole family more than we will ever know.
How do you say to a babysitter, you can hit my kids, which is what Jaimi has done. You are another mother to my kids, how confusing.
"I don't care that Jaimi just got married or claimed to get married, she got a divorce, gave her children (twins) to her ex husband and lives with Kate now, travels with Kate, but TLC did not allow Jaimi to go to Australia and New Zealand and that also says a lot about how they were trying to separate "too much of Jaimi being around"

How do you know that Jamie is living with Kate? She married a physician. Are you saying that she and the physician aren't married? Source?
"This is why Kate hates the press. She is so afraid that the press is going to find out and TLC will have to pull the show off the air because the fans think Kate has been all about a wife to a man, pretending they were something that they are not."
Kate hates the press? Since when? She calls the press for photos and loves having her photo taken and puts herself out there for interviews, the last time at the Derby. Her appearance there doesn't suggest anyone avoiding the media and the press.
-----------
He tried to tell everyone that it was more than a regular divorce, because for all of us "the whole divorce immediately came out of no where" and that is why Jon got therapy, has worked out his life after a lot of therapy.
The divorce didn't come out of nowhere. There were indications of this long before it happened. In fact, the marriage was over when the couple moved to the new home.
-----------------
Kate is not gay. She is a misandrist. She hates men. Lesbians do not hate men, they just have no use for them. Lesbians like to do things themselves, not have men do them for them. Kate is high maintenance, lesbians are not. If anything, Jamie had a crush on Kate, but I do not believe it was reciprocated.
My opinion only, with more than 20 years gaydar experience
All this speculation about Kate's sexuality and to me she seems completely asexual. I think her wierd religious commune upbringing had something to do with this. Remember how she moved on DWTS? The judges kept comparing her to inanimate objects like a shopping cart because there was nothing there.
Anonymous, Kate lost Jon and her whole family because of her atrocious behavior towards other people. The mess wasn't caused by the covering up of a "homosexual" romance - it was caused by a woman who became a fame-loving control freak with huge insecurities. Nice try though. I fully believe that Jamie is just trying to ride the fame train like the girls in high school who followed around the popular girls and did everything that they did. Jamie dresses just like Kate does and probably tells her everything she wants to hear. Those are the only type of people that control freaks want around.
I used to breed cats. It's a myth that cats can take care of themselves and that they are fine if left outside. An outside cat has a life expectancy of around 2 years. An indoor only cat will live 15 - 20 years. There's no way a cat would be happy around that undisciplined bunch of kids. They'd be frightened to death. I placed kittens with families with children as young as 2, but I observed the children with the kittens, and also the parents' interactions with their children before I even considered it. I wouldn't place a stuffed cat with the G's, let alone a living, breathing, loving animal.
I don't live in the area, I've never met Kate nor any of her family, but I have a friend who used to live in the area. She told me that Kate's father had a reputation for being very autocratic and controlling, and that her mother was rather passive and submissive (E-Town neighbor - can you either confirm or refute this?). This may go a long way to explain Kate's behavior.
Tucker's Mom - Hannah was never isolated in the basement. ALEXIS allegedly was made to sleep in the basement when they were in the E-town house because she supposedly woke the other kids up. When they moved to the new house, Kate claimed Hannah had migraines, so she was given the extra bedroom and Alexis and Leah share a room. There was never any indication that this extra bedroom was in the basement or anywhere other than near the others. Hannah may very well have migraines. The kids may very well have episodes of low blood sugar. However - I'm a diabetic. I know from low blood sugar. It DOESN'T cause you to have "meltdowns". It does cause shakiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and, in extreme cases, seizures and loss of consciousness. It can also make you cranky. NEVER did we see Kate give the kids food or juice or soda or anything else to alleviate the symptoms of "low blood sugar". It doesn't correct itself. Something needs to be ingested to raise the levels, or it just gets worse and can be fatal if left untreated. IMO - these "episodes" are just Kate's way of excusing her poor parenting.

"I don't care that Jaimi just got married or claimed to get married, she got a divorce, gave her children (twins) to her ex husband and lives with Kate now, travels with Kate, but TLC did not allow Jaimi to go to Australia and New Zealand and that also says a lot about how they were trying to separate "too much of Jaimi being around"
Jamie did go to NZ.
"There is a relationship and when Jon, TLC found out what was going on, Jon went to the garage, Steve moved into the house and TLC wanted to hide the "homosexual factor" but they could not control the divorce."
First of all, TLC produces a show called Strange Sex. They don't run from titillating topics.
Secondly, in today's society there isn't much of a "homosexual factor" to worry about, especially on TV. America has come a long way in the last 15 years towards acceptance of homosexuality. Kate coming out as a lesbian wouldn't hurt her popularity. In fact, it would be about the only thing left that could save her career. TLC would capitalize on Kate's coming out of the closet later in life the way Meredith Baxter Birney did. They would love it because it would make her sympathetic again. They would book her on every talk show to tell of her years of suffering as a gay woman in a straight world. She would write a book about it. Being a lesbian would be the best thing to happen to Kate and her career.
I wish everyone would stop talking about homosexuality as if it is so scandalous and "explains everything" about Kate in a negative sense. The misconceptions about lesbians were explained well by just wondering. I hope you can learn from her insight "anonymous" as well as others who think of lesbians as man-hating bitches.
I agree, Melody, with everything you have just posted. The love of fame is what Kate is about. Nothing more, or less.
Melody said...Nice try though. I fully believe that Jamie is just trying to ride the fame train like the girls in high school who followed around the popular girls and did everything that they did. Jamie dresses just like Kate does and probably tells her everything she wants to hear.
$$$$
Looking at the situation with no insider knowledge, I totally agree with this. Kate has no use for men unless she can control them. She threw aside those people in her life because they didn't know how to help her. In other words, they were most likely telling her what she didn't want to hear about filming the kids, and wouldn't be at her beck and call.
Jamie, on the other hand, latched on to her for the very reasons you cited. I don't have FB, and I don't know if she still maintains one, but didn't she at one time post info on the shows, pics of her with Kate and the kids? If they were trying to hide their supposedly gay relationship, why would she call attention to this? She wanted the notoriety that comes from hanging around with a "celebrity." I remember those days very well, having been in the company of one many years ago. There were those who tried to "get in with" celebrities just so they could be known and establish themselves within a celebrity circle. I became quite good at "reading" who were the true friends, and who were the "hanger-on-ers."
Perhaps Jamie is Khate's new "foil", taking the place of Jon, in a way. Whatever she is, she's on TLC's payroll now, so she'll do whatever is needed. I don't think there's any sexual relationship between the two.
I think RoxyHelen asked earlier today why Hannah is so special. I instantly remembered Khate saying that Hannah was the first tup she was able to hold in the hospital, thus bonded with her first (and only her, it seems). She was also one of the first tups to come home, along with Leah, which is also why Khate makes a big deal of those two girls being best buddies. If Khate truly did want only one more baby, Hannah was it.
Cara and others - thank you for your post. Trying to explain Kate's behavior away with "Oh she's a closet lesbian" is very misguided, IMO. Lesbianism is not a character flaw. It's really, IMO, not even that big a deal and the only time it should matter to you is if you're attracted to that person.
ReaderLady-Thanks for clarifying who was in the old basement. I agree totally with your post and especially that a mom needs to be PREPARED for blood sugar flux, and be proactive, not reactive.
Like when you take a brood of 6 yr olds deep sea fishing. Maybe think ahead and give dramamine to those prone to motion sickness, bring crackers, ginger ales, towels and shirts. Who doesn't think like this? Instead Kate looks at the camera person all wide-eyed and coquettish, "people get sick on boats?". Yes, Kate, just because you don't it doesn't mean that others will follow suit.
Duh. Not winning.
Sorry, was responding to Anonymous, not ReaderLady, just to clarify.

Kate Plus 8
Kate's Night Out
TV-PG
Kate's best friend Jamie surprises her with a birthday weekend in New York. The two have a night on the town, including dinner and dancing! But how will Kate handle a loud club full of people? Meanwhile, Ashley watches the kids back home make a mess!
Episodes 11/10 (in that order) will air the following week.
Not going to wade through all this lesbian stuff, because it's totally bogus B.S. IMO. I used to sleep in the same bed with my best friend on weekends during sleepovers in highschool and I've never, ever been attracted to a woman and the whole idea is repulsive FOR me and to me, although I don't judge others who are attracted to people of the same sex. But to say that just because you share a bed with your best friend when she is visiting you or you are visiting her makes one a lesbian is just idiotic. I also sleep in the same bed w/ my Mother when I visit her...let's see, how can we label that. People need to get a life and quit speculating on things that just do not matter. Kate is NOT a lesbian and Jon has said more than once she was screwing Steve and I think that's what he meant when he said she wasn't being true to herself or whatever. I'm outta this conversation.
So the kids were being filmed while their parent was out of state? Arent you required to have a parent on set at all times?? In CA you sure are.
TLC stinks said... I suspect that Jamie has been included to introduce a new dynamic and another adult that Kate can play off in the show. Have we all not commented that the show was better when Jon was a part of it? I think that is all it is and the speculation that Jamie and Kate are a couple is just adds fuel to a dying show.
____
Agreed, she's just a new character on the show.
Oh yessiree, a new episdoe next week and TLC does not even have to try to drum up interest.
Quick question, is Khate getting double the pay for these 60 min. episodes? I believe in the sitcom world, a 60 min. show counts as two separate episodes. Or is Khate possibly under the "special" contract for doing hour-long specials, not episodes? Either way, 60 min. increments of her whining/bitching is ungodly long.
Administrator said...
So the kids were being filmed while their parent was out of state? Arent you required to have a parent on set at all times?? In CA you sure are.
And here I thought that the kids got a break from filming that weekend.
Because the show is called Kate Plus 8, all kids must be present and available for filming and required to make an appearance per episode? This might explain why Cara was forced to appear for the last episode's couch interview, even in a foul mood. Kate keeps saying the kids just pop in and out of the frame as they please. Yeah right!
I'm starting to think Kate won't mention every time they are being filmed, unless it's for a trip. With the cameras already there this weekend, it wouldn't make sense for the crew to travel all that way just for couch interviews. Especially if we are to believe Kate tweeting about episodes every week for the summer.
Who's over-looking that TLC is following the PA child permits correctly? It's almost June and no mention of those revised child labor laws.
Those photos of Jaimi and Kate, I wonder how many were taken in Utah, during that trip, because Beth dumped Kate at that time, probably didn't want to be around a LIAR and wanted to protect her children from the publicity it would create.
If Kate were ever, ever honest about her life, maybe she would have an easier life because I don't think she has an easy life. I think she hates the press because of the affair or whatever her relationship with Jaimi is all about.
Sad, actually.
I could be wrong, but I think people are reading too much into this. You know how Kate likes to stir it up. I am sure she thought these photos would cause chatter on the blogs and they have. Even 2 years after they first appeared!
I think that when TLC needed to show that Kate did still have a "real" friend, that they paid for Jaime to be around more often. Kate gets so much flack for running everyone out of her life and having no friends or family, so TLC makes it convenient for Jaime to come around to prove to all of us, that Kate does indeed have A (one) friend. I think that is all Jaime is to her.....although I will go along with the riding the coat tails thought.
"Those photos of Jaimi and Kate, I wonder how many were taken in Utah, during that trip, because Beth dumped Kate at that time, probably didn't want to be around a LIAR and wanted to protect her children from the publicity it would create."
+++++++++++++++++++
None. Jamie wasn't in Utah. It was Beth and Kayla, and then Jodi flew to Utah to help them on the trip back because Beth and Kayla left early.
Someone here (anomymous?) said that Paul Petersen knows that Kate is gay. Come on! Where's the supporting evidence? How would anyone have that information?
The whole Kate gay thing might make for an interesting story, but I doubt it's true at all. Like someone else said, she's always struck me as asexual, despite her desperate and sad attempts to dress sexily. Ug. And her dancing is great evidence. No passion, no awareness of how to move her body, nothing there.
The stick is too big and too far up her butt for her to be having sex with anyone, male or female. Besides, she probably thinks sex is yuckyish.
I see TLC finally gave the June 6 show a title and description, LOL.
"I think that's what he meant when he said she wasn't being true to herself"
****
That quote from Jon has popped up a lot recently. Do you think he could simply be referring to how important fame and celebrity had become to her to the point that she was willing to sacrifice her marriage and family? That she had changed significantly from the woman he originally fell in love with?
Anonymous, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen the Utah episode a few times, and don't remember Jaime there at all. Are we talking the episode when Kate had "altitude sickness" and couldn't go watch the kids at ski school?
Also, I think Beth had to leave early because of her daughter's birthday?

Kate's best friend Jamie surprises her with a birthday weekend in New York. The two have a night on the town, including dinner and dancing! But how will Kate handle a loud club full of people? Meanwhile, Ashley watches the kids back home make a mess!
_____________________________________________
Ooo.... If all else fails, if ratings are dropping faster than Kate did in Australia, there's nothing left to do but let the only eight kids in America who aren't allowed near dirt or colored liquid to trash the house!!! Then watch their mother who suffers from faux OCD have a faux, scripted meltdown. This is after her (pre-planned for months) trip to New York which we are encouraged to believe is a surprise from her *one* friend. This is just as believeable as when the 6- 4 year olds arranged a completely "surprise" trip for Kate to Duff's bakery in Baltimore. They called Duff to set it up, they called the car service to send a mini bus, oh yeah they did all that.
It's called a reality show but there isn't a shred of reality left. It's terrible that TLC has to resort to capitializing on Kate's irrational behavior to drum up ratings.
Admin, I don't know the PA film and child labor laws but I agree - the kids were filmed and unmonitored by a parent. This is all sorts of wrong. How does Kart get away with this over and over again??!?!?!
I hope you can learn from her insight "anonymous" as well as others who think of lesbians as man-hating bitches.
+++++++++++++++
"Anonymous" (the one who spells Jamie as "Jaimi") has so many facts wrong. I seem to remember that this same topic was brought up some time ago on the other blog by someone who posts under various names. In fact, the same "information" was given, almost verbatim, and no sources were ever given.
There's a person who twitter-twatters on a constant basis, and according to some, was tweeting for two or three days non-stop. This person claims to be an upstanding moral person with strong family values, and yet uses the foulest language. She recently admitted that she planted a story on GWOP (not sure if it was also done here) and everyone picked that story apart for days. Did it happen? Is it a lie? It must be true, etc. I think that although many have been fooled once by these stories most have the intelligence to see right through them.
Anyone notice the lack of pap pics of Kate doing parking lot strolls? Nice, huh?

Agreed E-Town! I wish she would just stay on GWOP. It's ridiculous, she has taken over that blog with her ramblings.

++++++++++++++++
Unless the law has recently been changed, there is nothing in the child labor laws that says a parent must be present on the set. These work permits are special permission permits issued to children in the entertainment industry. When they were written, there was no consideration of reality television, because reality television as it exists today wasn't even a glimmer in the eyes of production companies. A parent or guardian must give written consent.
Of course it's wrong. Not only should a set teacher always be present, but either a parent or legal guardian should be required by law to be present. Pennsylvania HB2515 would make massive changes in the current child entertainment labor law, making PA the most restrictive (protective) in the nation.
Florida HB 499 died in committee. According to its website, the bill "provides regulations for employment of children in entertainment industry; provides responsibilities of employers & parents or legal guardians of such children; provides duties of Division of Regulation within DBPR; provides limitations on working hours of child performers; provides certification requirements & duties of teachers of child performers; requires trust account for certain children employed in entertainment industry; provides safety requirements for child performers; provides criteria for wage claims; provides grounds for refusal to issue or renew preauthorization certificate & procedures for challenging such determination."
What is wrong with legislators who cannot see the need for putting laws in place that protect the rights of these kids?
why are there so many crazy, bitter old hags on this blog?
I did review the PA child labor law today and it's correct, it doesn't require a parent or guardian on set.
That said, what parent or guardian would ever let their young children be filmed, ESPECIALLY for a reality show, without at least one parent present? And moreover with them in another state! There was outrage over that short-lived reality show Kid Nation in part because the parents weren't present, as their should be.
Ashley is 20-something years old if that, and has a JOB to do watching eight children. She cannot possibly be expected to also monitor the set to ensure the children are comfortable, have enough to eat and drink, are getting adequate school time and break time, are not being overworked, etc. It's ridiculous to put that all on the nanny. When I was working on a set with three children, their father and mother and a set teacher were present too. I could tend to their needs and comforts--food and drink, staying with them and watching them, and there were three other adults to ensure everything was A-okay as well. I cannot imagine having to do it all myself.
It's just pathetic Kate would leave these kids alone to do the dirty work and make money for her while she has her fun. She probably figured, I'll make money filming in NY and they can make money filming in PA--double pay right!
And I also think this episode is a test pilot to see what viewers think of a dating show. Hopefully no one tunes in.
Anonymous, I admit it. I'm bitter over the state of the law in PA. The protections for these kids are so paper thin why did they even bother?? And for the protections that are in place, TLC just thumbs their nose at it and does whatever the heck they want. Case in point as someone pointed out last week, the law is VERY clear, no child under any circumstances, either child actors or other employees, is ever to work before 7 am. And here is TLC happily filming the kids before school at 5:30am and putting a time stamp there to tell us so. They could give a crap what the law is, they just do what they want or take the kids out of the state or country forum shopping child labor laws.
I'm bitter they are forced to stay home and work while their mother lives the high life on their dime with her BFF in NYC. Hope she had a blast.

Yep, I'm bitter about how 8 great kids are forced to work to support their mother's lifestyle. I'm bitter about 8 great kids who're going to need a lot of therapy in the coming years. I'm bitter about a mother who's taught her kids to value things over people. I'm bitter about a mother who's a documented liar and the harm it's caused 8 great kids.
Go back to ranting on Twitter, anonymous. We all know who you are.
From reading Niecy Nash's twitter feed it sounds like Niecy is going to have a matchmaker type show on TLC. It also sounds like TLC is making her wor k onKate. All I can say is good luck with that. Kate wants a 6'5" silver-haired ex-cop with dark hair who is around 37, 5'7", and "older". Oh, can we possibly wait? (Wish Underwalt would apply for the job. I would remember to turn on the tv for that match up!)
Agreed E-Town! I wish she would just stay on GWOP. It's ridiculous, she has taken over that blog with her ramblings.
++++++++++++++++
Ditto, Cow...I hope that doesn't happen here. The ramblings go on and on and on, and if one tries to correct the erroneous "facts," on GWOP, or asks questions, or asks for sources, it's not posted. Nevertheless, the ramblings do get posted. Ticks me off. I don't know why this gets under my skin the way it does, but, it does.
Admin - regarding parental presence on the set. I remember when they had just moved to the new house. Jon was outside, Kate was in the kitchen, and one of the boys was filmed in the bathroom without a parent present. Granted, the parents were at home, but they weren't with the kids! This is WRONG on so many levels. The kids aren't going to say, "Get out of the bathroom!" They do as they are expected to do. The crew should never be left alone with any of the children - I don't care if they are surrogate daddies or like a family to them.
"Case in point as someone pointed out last week, the law is VERY clear, no child under any circumstances, either child actors or other employees, is ever to work before 7 am. And here is TLC happily filming the kids before school at 5:30am and putting a time stamp there to tell us so."
+++++++++++++++++
Another case in point - the children have been filmed in establishments that serve alcohol - restaurants such as Austins (which is a bar and grill), and a blind eye is turned. I'm not aware that any work permits are posted, as is required by law in the state of PA for minors with work permits. They get away with it because there is no set teacher or monitor on the set. Who is going to report it? Kate? The kids? The nannies accompanying them?

Looking in that mirror again, anonymous? You're posting here!
Not only was it 5:30 AM but it was 5:30AM the kids' first day of school. I can think of a million other things a kid needs to think about on their first day of school before they should ever have to worry about a camera crew taping the crap out of them. The first day of school is often sort of that magic moment for kids. The end of one chapter in your life and the beginning of a new one--a fresh start to whatever happened last year and a chance to get everything going in the right direction. Nerves, excitement, there's nothing like that feeling as a kid. It's a moment that should be for the family, not for a camera crew.

I let this comment through to illustrate a point. The sheeple cannot present any reasonable counter-points. All they have left is to name-call. Care to address any of our actual points? A good debate is fun.
When we say why we feel a certain way, we back it up. They have nothing left, nothing.
Oh and might I add, I don't think it would any coincidence that their first day of school was filmed and in that same year, just a few months later, Collin and Alexis had to be pulled out of school.
At that time, Kate had recently gotten her show and lifestyle back and all her focus was on filming the crap out of them all summer long, including back to school activities and even the first day. How she could have possibly gotten them mentally and emotionally prepared for such a big transition into real school with a film crew there is anyone's guess. The fact is, she couldn't, and the fact is, she is in complete denial the role the filming had to have played in their school problems.
Kate is not gay. She is a misandrist. She hates men. Lesbians do not hate men, they just have no use for them. Lesbians like to do things themselves, not have men do them for them. Kate is high maintenance, lesbians are not. If anything, Jamie had a crush on Kate, but I do not believe it was reciprocated.
My opinion only, with more than 20 years gaydar experience
*****
Lesbians have plenty of use for men, they simply are not sexually attracted to them. It has nothing to do with "wanting to do everything themselves." There are plenty of high maintenance lesbians, just as there are plenty of high maintenance heterosexual women. Sexuality does not determine whether one is or is not high maintenance.
I don't really think filming in a place that serves alcohol when it comes to things like restaurants is really that big of a deal, no different than taking kids to eat at a place that serves alcohol.
That said? It's the LAW. You have to follow the law whether you think it's no big deal or not. The law is clear, no filming the kids where they serve alcohol. That means no filming at Flyers Games where beers are served, no filming at restaurants where alcohol is served, no filming any place where one drop of alcohol is given out even though it is only given out to adults 21 and older.
It's the LAW and TLC can't respect that law or many other laws. If they thumb their noses at this, it makes you wonder what else they've thumbed their noses at we don't know about. Remember they were facing hefty fines for not even having permits back in the day.

_________________________
Cow and E-town, I too was so very dismayed to see those long rambling disjointed posts here, from our lonely acquaintance. Although ever since we pointed out one of her signatures, the "oh yes" and "oh yes she does", the dear poster has tried to check herself on that.
Sometimes questions, gossip and speculation go way over the top and begin to border on just plain old 'making it all up'. That is, if the reader can even make sense of ramblings. It is hard, however, to have a debate with someone who obviously just dwells and dwells on this and is convinced they have it all figured out with their secret insight. I dont think this is someone who intends to be phony, I think she is just desparately trying to convince us that she has the answers.
On one hand I do feel so bad for someone who must be so bored and lonely. On the other hand I would hate to see this site have it's crediblity damaged. On the other blog, legit posters began to have their names used, so I for one will have to watch for that here. Many of you know my style, and I dont think it is similar to hers. I hope.
Dear poster, Kate is not worth getting your mental health all riled up; and it wont help the children either.

In the context of her post, I understood Just Wondering to mean that lesbians don't need or demand a MAN to take care of her, and therefore, she is not (high maintenance) for any MAN.
Too darn many anonymouses (anonymice)on here again. It makes it difficult to respond.

And here I thought the kids got a weekend off from filming!
I guess because the show is called Kate Plus 8, the kids are somehow required to make an appearance per episode even when mommy is away. This could explain why Cara was a part of the couch interview in the last episode, even though she was silent and in a foul mood.
Kate keeps saying the kids just pop in and out of the frame, but this episode goes against that principle. The kids were still filmed even though Kate wasn't at home.
And it goes against her whole I'm working and the kids are just playing B.S. and if the camera happens to catch them playing while I'm working great, if not oh well!
The fact is she was working in NYC, if you call partying on your bday and meeting men working, and the kids were also working, hundreds of miles away, to make that party possible.
The only thing worse than putting your kids to work is putting your kids to work while you take off and go to a party.
Although ever since we pointed out one of her signatures, the "oh yes" and "oh yes she does", the dear poster has tried to check herself on that.

Ah, Dwindle...you are right. However, there is another glaring one that I'm not pointing out. I want to see if it continues with consistency.
"On the other hand I would hate to see this site have it's crediblity damaged."
That's my concern, too. Perhaps that is why it bothers me -- that this nonsense has been carried over to this blog.
"I dont think this is someone who intends to be phony, I think she is just desparately trying to convince us that she has the answers."
+++++++++++
Yes, but, when inconsistencies are pointed out, and "facts" corrected, it's ignored. In fact, several on here have said that Jamie was not in Utah, but the poster persists with her knowledge that she was.
"Many of you know my style, and I dont think it is similar to hers. I hope."
+++++++++++++++
I think we know your style, oh yes, we do! :)
If she's gay, she's gay...
If she's straight, she's straight...
It doesn't matter either way.
What matters is that she lies about everything.
The issue has always been, and will continue to be that kart is manipulative, a pathological liar, arrogant, selfish, verbally and emotionally abusive to her kids and a really, really sucky excuse for a mother.
My vote is she does EVERYTHING for ratings and publicity. I don't believe ANYTHING she writes or says. No one syllable.
If she thought she could sell her sh*t, she would.
I truly think the only folks who follow her are her pathetic little tweenie twit fans and those of us who are appalled by her mere existance.
I hang around this blog because I keep hoping against hope to be around when someone, anyone, tells her to get lost and yanks the cameras.
It's my reality tv fantasy that TLC will make a very public announcement that her show is cancelled.
I hope that she heads off to a spa for a week and leaves the kids with Jon and he gets an emergency court order to give him full and permanent custody.
Then I hope, before I die, that someone will write a expose book with all the insider details, so I can lounge around the nursing home and cackle...
(It's good to have dreams, right? LOL)
It's amazing to me that she, just one single person and not a worthy person at that, can have riled up so many folks for such legitimate reasons.
I really feel badly about wishing her to lose her show but geez louise, she's such a cracked nutcase.
In the greater scheme of things, she is so completely insignificant...
I am reminded of a saying from my middle school days: (yes, we were a really cool bunch back then - LOL)
"She thinks she's hot snot on a silver platter, but she's really just cold boogers on a paper plate".............
Sorry if you are all not on the gay Kate & Jamie thing anymore today. I couldn't read any posts yesterday afternoon so I couldn't keep up. I just want to give my opinion about something. I know we are talking about Kate here but, gay, straight, bi, the way people choose to live their lives is nobody's business. I am NOT defending Kate here at all, but Jamie may be Kate's closest friend & she feels she can really relate to her somehow. I don't think Kate is gay, Kate to me screams "SEXLESS", & her throwing up pics (I didn't see them) is a way to get people talking. Kate probably only had sex w/ Jon those 2 times to procreate for crying out loud! But this whole argument about the gay thing is just...well, I don't know. Kate is doing it yet AGAIN to get people talking & I don't want to speak out school but I read one comment that said it makes one person feel gross. (not the right word, but you catch my drift)
It's a sad state of the world when we STILL can't accept the GLBT community. Not all of us...Just some. Some of my closest friends are gay & they are the best people in the world.

===============
What an absolute boring boor!
I hope for the kids' sake that nothing comes of a dating show, either especially for Kate or one that she participates in. How traumatic for kids to see their mom on TV trolling for a replacement for their father! Besides, from the little I've seen of those dating shows, they draw viewers by putting participants in sexual situations (hot tubs, etc.), which I can't see Kate doing. Plus, she's so awkward and self-conscious, it would be excruciating to watch for everyone else.
E-town and Dwindle,
I agree with you both about the poster from yesterday. I believe that the other blog's traffic is a bit slower these days, and I guess that poster moved over here in order to try and get a bigger audience for his/her theories. I do believe they are theories. Sometimes I even wonder if those posts are not planted by a fan in order to drum up interest in Kate and increase speculation and in turn ratings. She does have an episode about her and Jamie airing next week. So now all of a sudden, we are hearing again that she is lesbian lovers with Jamie?
I am in the camp that Kate is probably more asexual than anything. Though, I truly believe she uses sex and her sexuality to her advantage to control men and get them to do her bidding i.e. Jon in the early days.
I do think this episode is do or die. I think they are testing out the waters to see if they can at all shift focus to Kate and increase ratings that way. I have a feeling TLC needs to decide what to do. They still have a Twist of Kate contract with her, so do they switch to that format since the show with the kids is failing or do they pay her off and cut their losses?
Permanent Name said... I hang around this blog because I keep hoping against hope to be around when someone, anyone, tells her to get lost and yanks the cameras.
It's my reality tv fantasy that TLC will make a very public announcement that her show is cancelled.
*******************************
That is why I am here. Just waiting for the ax to fall, so the 8 can stop supporting their greedy, selfish mother! Can't be soon enough!
Another pool party - OK, we get it kate you've got a pool. Guess what, I live on the Jersey Shore a block from the ocean. My kids have a bigger pool!
My God! Will that woman ever shut up about her pool? Does she think only the rich have pools?
Werny Gal confirms the chicken coop is gone. She thought there was a fence around it, so how could Shoka kill them? Anyway, we predicted those chickens would not last. I feel that Shoka may be next. Poor kids.
Hey, could we stop the lesbian/asexual speculation? If Jon knew she was, don't you think this would leak out? Jamie is just like Kate; out to be famous just like the other so-called reality nitwits. Seriously doubt there is anything going on there other than she sees Kate as a meal ticket.
Judging by the ratings, occasional shows, and 10 pm time slot, TLC is weaning itself from the Gosselin freak show. They have made a business decision and Kate is too self- absorbed to realize it judging by her tweets.
Friends, how about skipping the excuse as to why you watched and commented since TLC monitors the blogs to see if there is still interest? No interest = cancellation. It's the best thing you could do for those kids. We do have the power.
I wonder how many Kate fans are getting sick of her twitter twat. I was on the fence I guess, because her life looks so good, and she is able to get things done with 8 (count em) kids that I can't seem to get done with my 2 (I have a 13mo old, that's my excuse!)! But, I sit with a sink full of dirty dishes, mountains of laundry, and a schedule of work work work today and I'm a stay at home mom! My husband's job is in limbo and I have no idea where we are going to be living next month, or if I'm gonna be able to sell my house and be able to afford to move! And I'm supposed to feel pity for all Kate has to do for her 8 kids when it seems like all that she has to do is grill some chicken and watch her kids play in the pool? (If she actually does this herself and isn't inside scanning blogs for any mention of her while the not-a-nannies do it!) I don't think so!
Oh, and I would love a girls weekend in New York, but a--I can't afford it, and b--I don't want to leave my kids or so long, even with my husband! Let alone some 20yr old! See, I am a mom, I don't just play one on tv.
Oh, and even with my simple life, my small house (1200sqft), and all the uncertainty in my future, and especially the dirt dishes and the piles of laundry, I realize that I have more then some people and I am very very blessed by a loving God (whom I believe in) and I make it a point to say Thank you for everything. Especially my family and the dirty dishes and laundry they create for me to do. When does Kate ever say thank you?!?
Can it be confirmed that the kids were actually filmed while Kate was in NYC? Could it be footage was taken another time?
What if Jon left his children with a camera crew, 20 year old, maybe an off screen nanny and went to NYC for the weekend to bar hop with some pals.

************************************************
Me too, dear :o) And wonderful parents as well.
That's why I didn't chime in with a comment concerning Kate & Jamie's sexual orientation. We all know that it's really not the issue here.
The real issue is that the Gosselin 8's lives are unfairly on display for monetary gain, and the public's entertainment.
FREE THE GOSSELIN 8-
BOYCOTT KATE + 8!!!!
Kate's best friend Jamie surprises her with a birthday weekend in New York. The two have a night on the town, including dinner and dancing! But how will Kate handle a loud club full of people? Meanwhile, Ashley watches the kids back home make a mess!
__________________________________
This is going to be the episode of contradictions.
Kate didn't have to be there because Ashley was there as a supervisor.
Ashley has no control and watches them make a mess?
The kids were running in the frame, being themsleves.
The kids are generally bad behaved kids?
I believe that the other blog's traffic is a bit slower these days, and I guess that poster moved over here in order to try and get a bigger audience for his/her theories. I do believe they are theories.
+++++++++++++++++
A BIT slower? More like the train is pulling into the station on its final run...only 33 posts in six days on the Free Discussions thread? But what can you expect when you post ramblings, but no intelligent responses to generate any discussions? It could be that many of that poster's comments don't make it to the board and thus, she thought she'd try her luck over here. The thing is, though, that it doesn't SOUND like theories. When one comments that Paul Petersen and his group know about Kate's deep dark secret, this doesn't come across as being an opinion, but rather a statement of fact with no evidence to back it up. It's just wild rambling.
The pool thing. This is getting to be a comedy, isn't it? What mother spends every day holding pool parties and then brags about it to the world on Twitter...only one comes to my mind! Why this obsession with the pool all of a sudden?
Many have assumed from Kate's twat that she has all new episodes airing every week during the summer. That's either a lie or she was careful how she worded the twat because I read it that TLC was airing the show every week AND there will be new episodes, not all new episodes every week. Sure, there will be shows but TLC loves to rerun the shows as fillers. JMO.
I do think this episode is do or die. I think they are testing out the waters to see if they can at all shift focus to Kate and increase ratings that way. I have a feeling TLC needs to decide what to do. They still have a Twist of Kate contract with her, so do they switch to that format since the show with the kids is failing or do they pay her off and cut their losses?
++++
A show of Kate w/o kids.
Kate has no "hook" outside of the mom of many kids.
The super mom/do it all/cook/super organised will no longer fly.
She has no job or skill to play off of.
She has not been doing anything consistantly (story line worthy).
The people in her life all seem to work for her too.
She will soon discover that she is being forced or being but into situations where she looks like a clown.
Think of the Ann Nicole Smith show.
Sorry if this has already been posted!

If Kate has a show coming, why no promotion? TLC certainly is doing nothing to promote it as far as anyone has seen & all Kate does is sit on her butt by her pool (WE GET IT KATE!) So, no talk shows, & we know why that is. Nobody will have her, so that isn't going to happen...she's sunk there. No radio spots. Her voice sounds like dying alley cats. So that's sunk. Hmmm, no promotion, no advertisers, no money, no viewers, no ratings, no show. It seems to me she is EFFED.

Kate didn't "throw up" any pictures. She tweeted that she and Jamie did interviews for the show. A completely innocuous tweet that caused people to bring up pictures from two years ago and start the "Kate is a closet lesbian" gossip again.
I think anonymous with the wild theories is somehow related to that "Angela" that posted insider info at Sage's. I know their writing styles are completely different but they both talked about Jaimie an awful lot. Angela said Jaimie had some secret, and then the lesbian speculation popped up over here... Maybe to drum up interest for the new Jamie and Kate episode?
It could easily be a coincidence. I don't think that Anonymous believed a word she typed. I think she was probably a sheeple trying to stir shit up over here so she could brag to the other sheep about planting stories. These people are just too weird.
Hippie Chick, I watched a wonderful show on TLC on Monday about soldiers returning home from deployment and unfortunately, Kate's stupid show was advertised every commercial break. They show her twirling in close club quarters with some unknown dancer and the kids absolutely causing mayhem at home. She teeters in on her stilettos (breaking the no shoes in the house rule) and one of them said they were riding sleeping bags down the stairs and she turns and shoots a look at the not-a-nanny and says, "are you serious?" Yes, they are plugging it.

Oh, Gawd, Anonymous, If Jon left his kids with a camera crew and a 20 something sitter to party and shop in NYC he'd be criticized the same way we're doing with Kate.
As for whether it's been confirmed that they were filmed while she was gone -- TLC's own release said: Kate's best friend Jamie surprises her with a birthday weekend in New York. The two have a night on the town, including dinner and dancing! But how will Kate handle a loud club full of people? Meanwhile, Ashley watches the kids back home make a mess! Why would TLC use the key word "meanwhile", which means "at the same time", and mention the mess if they weren't going to show it (to show it they had to film it). What does that mean to you? You're going to have to try a lot harder than this feeble attempt to refute what we're saying about the kids not having proper safeguards and protections when they're filming! Or, just give it up and finally admit Kate and TLC are indefensible and that filming needs to stop.

@qwisdom39 There's a hater blog called Gosselins with out pity. U can only post hate for Kate. Last year I made up a story abt Kate
Anyone catch the Joy Behar show last night?
It's no secret that Kathie Lee Gifford has expressed her dislike for reality t.v.
I'm cutting into the transcript, but if you want to read the entire interview, go here:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1105/31/joy.01.html
GIFFORD: No, I know. It just that there`s a preponderance. You look at the landscape of television, because it`s cheap. And it gets -- it`s water cooler talk and -- but it`s -- long-term, I just think it`s bad for our culture, really bad.
BEHAR: Yes. I guess you`re right. But I think that there`re more channels. They have to fill them up with more people and not everybody`s a brain trust, Kathie.
GIFFORD: No, I don`t want to just watch but I want to be entertained. I want to see shows that -- "I Love Lucy", "All in the Family". I want good writing back on television.
BEHAR: Well, some of the sitcoms have been good, I mean over the years, you know. There have been "Friends" and "Seinfeld" and --
GIFFORD: And they`re not on anymore, that`s my point.
*****************************
I have to say that I agree with her 100%.
There used to be a time when people in the entertainment field were actually talented.
Sadly, not anymore.
P.S. it's really been a challenge trying to get some of my comments to appear on this blog.
Not that they have been earth shattering/ stop the presses comments ;o)
But whatever...
I wonder how her POOL party is going -- tornado watch is in effect and it looks darn nasty out there.
"I don't think that Anonymous believed a word she typed. I think she was probably a sheeple trying to stir shit up over here so she could brag to the other sheep about planting stories. These people are just too weird."
+++++++++++++++
Could be, but I'm not totally convinced because she's been doing it for quite some time, and has a few dozen IDs, as well as occupations, locations and husbands/partners, both alive and deceased!
I think that "weird" is a bit too kind! :)
I don't have a Twitter account and never will. However, I am curious about something. The site is called Twitter. What are the comments called? Tweets? What is the verb? Tweeting or Twittering? What is the person called who makes the comments? Twatter, Twatterer, Tweeter, Tweeterer, Twat, Twit, Twitterer, or none of the above?
TLC stinks said...
Friends, how about skipping the excuse as to why you watched and commented...

My favorite was 'the remote fell on the floor and accidently changed the channel'.
I think if people want to pony up and pay TLC cash in order to gawk at the children like zoo exhibits, they should admit it. If it is Kate they are obsessed with watching, there are plently of other idiots on TV being paid to annoy us - I hear those Housewife shows are pretty disgusting, as is Snokie.
Paying a cable company, which in turn pays TLC, for the honor of gaping at Kate's psych problems, is doing HARM to the children! Viewers can't have it both ways, not as long as Kate uses her children as her props and abuses them on TV for ratings and entertainment!
There was a preview on TLC last night of the kids slides down the stairs in sleeping bags. I'm sure it must have been instigated by someone, because those kids live in fear of her whether she's there or not.
My favorite was 'the remote fell on the floor and accidently changed the channel'.

I have one that is actually TRUE! I usually put the remote next to me on the bed. The dog usually either sleeps in the middle of the bed or at my feet. She often flops down on the power button. One night I was watching a show on the channel "below" TLC. I got up to do something, and when I got back into bed, there was Kate in all her screeching glory. What the heck, I thought! I most definitely had not been watching, so I know that the dog sat on the remote and changed the channel. Gospel truth.

Nothing new there, dull, duller and dullest. No secret Kate abused Jon she did it on the shows I was amazed he allowed her to treat him that way ... lot more patience then I have. I guess that's a good trait to have if you've 8 kids.
Kate is an evil shrew and wow does it even show more with every viewing of the wretch. Too bad for those kids to have that creature for a "mother."
Cindy: The Morning Call: those episodes are from last year. I saw that too. The tubs turned 7, not 6. TLC is showing old stuff, calling them new shows. I also think Kate fits in the Friends with Benefits. When the friends have no more benefits they are history. Perhaps TLC is not taking Kate on trips this summer and told her to fine stuff to do at home. One of them pool. I'm not surprise the chickens are gone. That is too much work for poolfly Kate.
Go to the Kate plus my 8 facebook page. TLC is asking people for questions to ask the Gosselins in a future show. I'm reading the answers and LMAO. There are probably only 2 good questions to ask.

LOL your dog wanted lessons on how to brush up on her barking and howling! She turned to an expert-Katie Irene Gosselin!!!! LOL!
TLC, keep the heck away from this family:
Associated Press
Wednesday, June 1, 2011
Congratulations times 6! Sextuplets born in Pa.
(AP)
It's a boy! And another two boys! And three girls as well!
A suburban Philadelphia family is welcoming six new additions.
A statement from Abington Memorial Hospital says sextuplets were born there on Wednesday.
The hospital says the three boys and three girls are premature, as expected. They are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The statement says more information is expected to be released soon.
Pennsylvania already has one famous set of six. The reality TV show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" _ and its spinoff "Kate Plus 8" _ are about Jon and Kate Gosselin's twins and sextuplets, who live in Wernersville.
Oooooooooooh, Kate's going to be mad as hell!
Jenna Does said...If Kate has a show coming, why no promotion? TLC certainly is doing nothing to promote it as far as anyone has seen...
Just look at the most recent press release from TLC:
TLC STARTS SUMMER STRONG WITH “MY BIG FAT GYPSY WEDDING”
TLC Summer is the destination for the hottest series and specials on TV with an estimated 150 hours of all-new programming, including fan favorites Cake Boss, 19 Kids and Counting, The Little Couple and Toddlers and Tiaras. TLC also looks to turn up the heat index with Ami James returning in his series NY Ink and ‘achy breaky’ country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus hosting Surprise Homecoming. New episodes of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding air Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT beginning June 3.
No mention of Kate Plus 8 as part of TLC Summer's return of fan favorites. Last summer seems like eons ago, but I vaguely recall Kate Plus 8 promos invading other Discovery channels. I think it was even shown in-between segments of Deadliest Catch.
It is now Wednesday, and aside from the promo some have seen, I haven't seen much of the media reporting the return of Kate Plus 8. Of course, I probably spoke too soon and it'll start after this gets posted.
Unless there is more filming going on than what Kate tweets about, I don't see this show lasting the entire summer without new footage. It could have a short season like Quints By Surprise, three weeks for season 2.
LOL your dog wanted lessons on how to brush up on her barking and howling! She turned to an expert-Katie Irene Gosselin!!!! LOL!

Or else she was just checking up on Shoka to make sure he was still alive and well!
I got this email today and thought it applied...Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped
out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?
This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,
'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home
or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so ...
Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a trash-free day!
I did not mean that amongst the normal people in here, only about the sheeple who cannot see the forest for the trees. I refuse to let this garbage truck dump on me.

Well, E-Town :-), you should have posted a 'bucket alert' on this one......... as in 'get me a bucket, I think I'm gonna vomit!'
I only watched about 1 minute of it before turning it off.
Urp.
The FB questions are priceless...confirms the sheeple demographics. My personal favorite is this one:
Q. What grade are your kids in now? tring to figaure out if the sixtuplets are a year or two older then my daughter.
Google "Gosselins Birth SEXtuplets." It will bring up the birth date. From there you can use simple arithmetic to FIGAURE out if the SIXtuplets are a year or two older than your daughter. A calculator will work fine, too, if you missed addition and subtraction in school. Good grief!
Then there are these:
Q. Was it difficult for some of your kids to be in different classes from others?
A. Not difficult considering the six of them were all in Kindergarten.
Q. I love your show Kate!! And the kids are growing up so fast. I've been watching since the first episode.
A. Great question!
Q. Will Alexis and Colin be returning to public school any time soon?
A. Doubtful, since they were never in public school.
I hope she answers some of those questions. I'm looking forward to Admin's recap!
In the video at TLC that shows the 6 having breakfast, when was that filmed? They weren't in school uniforms (though I guess as they were matchy matchy, you could consider it their Gosselin uniform....)

TV WATCHERS: She's baack - Kate Plus 8 to air back to back episodes
May 31, 2011|By Kathy Lauer-Williams, OF THE MORNING CALL
Berks County mom Kate Gosselin and her eight kids will return to TLC with back to back episodes of "Kate Plus 8" at 9 and 10 p.m. Monday.
In the first episode we get to see the sextuplets celebrating their sixth birthday as Kate takes the kids on a surprise trip to Orlando. Kate attempts to keep everything a surprise as the kids feed sting rays at Discovery Cove, swim with the dolphins, feed exotic birds, ride in an air boat and explore the Everglades, take part in an orange juice squeezing contest, and get a very special surprise birthday cake.
In the second episode the focus is on Kate as TLC gives a behind-the-scenes look into the daily life of the Kate in "Inside Kate's World". From extreme hair makeovers to "Dancing with the Stars" and press tours, this special provides a never before seen glimpse into the day-to-day routine of the mother of eight. The show also includes guest interviews from TV personalities, journalists, and those who know Kate best.
*******
Ha! That's from last year, and TLC isn't showing that. So entertainment stories about Kate's show are now just copied and pasted from old stories and I bet hardly anyone notices. Yet another clue (besides the neon-lined clues from TLC) that she's toast.
She sure is keeping a low profile lately. The poor thing--is NO ONE WILLING TO PHOTOGRAPH HER??? LOL.
The kids stay home and work while Kate tries to get some whoring around NYC? Now this I don't mind recapping.
Hmmm...Wonder if TLC has already approached the new family about Kate coming over with her kids to share some parenting and organizational tips?
So what shows do we know are already in the can?
Birthday trip to NY/Kids destroy home
Tennessee Food Bank
Gosselins go shopping around Wernersville/Reading
Sextuplets Birthday party
I think that's it, right? That's not a lot. And based on her tweets it doesn't sound like they've filmed any more. I think while those episodes air, they will fly Kate and the kids to Europe this summer. That's why she's been dropping all the hints about the weather in Ireland and Holland. Kate just can't keep her mouth shut.
I could be wrong of course, but I doubt it.

Me three! I cannot get over the irony that the other blog had so many rules and regs that it became exhausting trying to compose an acceptable post. Now, the blog has been taken over by the person with many occupations- "I am a case worker" "I am wife of pap" "I am a Philadelphia worker" "I am a social worker" Over the weekend she was "a house cleaner for the very wealthy." And as you said E-Town, the mod(s) won't call BS or let anyone question this person's claims. It's just plain weird and it makes me even more grateful for this little corner of the net Admin has provided for us! :)
pamelajo -
Oh, so great. Loved it!
I've made a commitment to always "drive by" the taxi driver's lovely lesson.
THANKS!
I saw a preview for Monday's episode and it disturbed me on so many levels. Beyond the obvious (Kate), the promo states "while Kate's away, the kids will play" while showing the kids going wild. Sledding down the stairs in sleeping bags, shooting of whipcream & silly string in the house. All things they would never do with a parent in the house.
That's what disturbed me most - NO PARENTS!! Was Kate truly away while they were filming? Does that mean the kids had no legal guardian while they were working? Nannies don't count especially when they know who gives them their paychecks. Kate has appalled me in the past but this... wow, just, wow.
I totally agree, what they are advertising as this episode is beyond inappropriate. And seems STAGED and sorry, just not credible.
The kids in all other episodes seem to have a great rapport with Ashley. They don't misbehave with her, if anything they seem better behaved with her. Kate would sit on her plastic chair throne when she was DONE and call Ashley over to do the dirty work. Now all of a sudden they are out of control walking all over her??? PLLLEASE.
And if it's true Ashley cannot control them, how in the world is she also supposed to make sure they are being protected while being filmed?
I ask again, what parent would allow their children to be filmed for a reality show when they are not even there? It's disgusting.
A good nanny takes their job very seriously. Their job first and foremost is to keep the kids safe from harm and tend to their basic needs like food, comfort, etc. After that, their job is to provide fun and educational experiences. To ask a nanny to also be the adult on set making sure eight kids are being protected on set and everything is appropriate, is beyond ridiculous. This is not her job, she is busy enough watching EIGHT KIDS and she is 20 (19??) years old. If other sets employ a set teacher FULL TIME just to make sure all regulations are followed, how is Ashley expected to do that full time job in addition to nanny duties? She can't and SHOULDN'T be expected to do that.
It's outrageous and Kate should be ashamed, and Jon should get himself to court if he hasn't already with a court order that if the kids must be filmed, Kate is to be there, period.
Someone tweeted:
@Kateplusmy8 also did you hear Pennsylvania's 2nd set of sextuplets were born today?! They are from Arlington! :)
^^^^^^^^
Nope. They are from Abington in Montgomery County. READ!
Will TLC make an episode out of this? Kate visits the new babies and gives advice on diapering, feeding, and how to get the hubby to make his wife breakfast in bed while he takes care of the infants. They're only an hour away.
I don't watch TLC so I haven't seen any previews for the upcoming show, however I assume that the whole kids trash the house is totally scripted. How many times has Kate left them alone with the not a nanny and they've never done anything like this. You can rest assured that they'll probably be teased in school for this. There were 7 kids in my family and we NEVER would dare to act like that when we had a sitter. We had very loving parents but we knew how to behave.
How disgusting of TLC and Kate to push some storyline, possibly even fabricated, about the kids behaving badly.
It reflects poorly on the kids for one, do they not get that???? How would Kate feel if all her misdeeds were the subject of an episode? We can certainly name them to her.
You can rest assured that they'll probably be teased in school for this.
+++++++++++++++++++=
Not likely. School is out for the summer, and by fall, their classmates will have forgotten about this, if they even watched it.
E-town I really have to disagree with your repeated assessment the children are not teased.
Almost all children are teased at some point. There is nothing special about this school that makes it immune to it. Just because it's some posh private school? Please. If they are not teased at school they'll be teased on the playground, or on the soccer field, or at Sunday school, or someplace else. They'll see their peers all summer, one hopes, and could be teased then. It is hard enough to stick out to your peers because you are six kids born at once, just ask the McCauley kids about that. Let alone to be filmed during your worst moments.
You cannot possibly no that no teasing goes on.. I saw plenty of teasing growing up that teachers or parents never knew about. In fact adults are lucky if they catch even 10% of the bullying that goes on.
Teasing is a reality for most kids, and I just don't buy that these kids are immune to the realities of childhood.
Even assume the kids live in a cookie cutter world and are never, ever teased for anything at all. These still don't deserve to have their dignity compromised. It is disrespectful at BEST to show them misbehaving and moreover to make it the theme of an episode. I find it outrageous and disgusting, teasing or not.
You know also? Not that this hasn't been said before, but I don't see how they can be so disrespectful to these children and then turn around and expect the kids to be respectful back.
Alexis has been rumored to spit on people and act out to teachers. This child has been disrespected so many times on camera, no wonder she has learned this is how you treat people.
The sheeple who still watch are saying in the new episode the kids look like they're having fun! It's all about fun. Besides that, they will not admit any of it is staged.
If it wasn't staged, then who bought all the silly string?
Come on sheeple, think.
From www.wpvi.com:
ABINGTON, Pa. - June 1, 2011 (WPVI) -- Abington Memorial Hospital announced the birth of sextuplets to a local family on Wednesday.
The babies, three boys and three girls, were born premature earlier in the day and are being cared for in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.
The hospital says further information will be released in the near future at the family's discretion.
No information about the family was released.
So far, there is no word of complications for either mom or the babies.
Sextuplets are usually born about 11 weeks premature and they typically weigh about 2 and a half pounds each.
They are closely monitored in the neonatal intensive care unit for at least several weeks, and sometimes months, before they can go home.
Sextuplets are quite rare with only about 36 surviving sets around the world today.
Abington has had multiple birth families before, including quadruplets and two sets of quintuplets in the 1990's.
If y'all want some good chuckles before you turn in for the night, go to the FB link with questions for Kate.
I nearly choked on my strawberries when I read this one:
Q. "I have the same disorder that kate has and was wondering what things I can do to prepare myself and or my body for children I love multiples!"
I thought she was admitting to having NPD, or just your garden variety insanity!
Q. Kate do our twin girl like having 6 young bother and sister do the twin girl help you lot young ones I love our show
A. Huh?
Q. Kate are you still planning on releasing your cookbook? "Love is in the mix"? If so, when? Thanks.
A. Quite a few questions about a cookbook. They really don't have a clue, do they?
Q. How do you feed them all exactly what they want? Do you have people come help you cook , clean , or is it just you ?
A. You need extra fingers to count all of the help she has.
Q. ask the kids what trips they remember! do they remember seeing elmo yutah DISNEY WORLD ?!
A. Elmo's middle name is yutah?
Q. Kate,can u try to put your show in antenna tv please?
A. People still have antennas?
E-town I really have to disagree with your repeated assessment the children are not teased.
+++++++++++++++++=
I didn't say that. I said that school is out for the summer, and even if the classmates watch the show on Monday, after an entire summer of vacations, having fun, I can't imagine that teasing about something that happened in June will be a priority for them when they go back to school in the fall.
The only way they will see their peers during the summer is if they stay home for the summer, and even then, WHEN? Remember that their friends don't live in their area, and parents don't make it a daily routine to drive their kids to Reading. Honest. They don't. Isn't Kate dragging these kids on her annual beach vacations this year - or possibly an extended trip somewhere, as she has been hinting about? I've heard some rumors here, but I'm not going to comment on them because it hasn't been confirmed.
Of course teasing goes on. It's a child's nature to do that. I think that if school were in session when this airs, the kids would be teased a bit, IF THEIR PEERS WATCH IT. The novelty of having the Gosselins at school is over and done. I'm sure that others not near to the situation would question that, but it's really become old news.
"The FB questions are priceless"
They really are. People, probably young, are asking to meet Kate and the 8 or have Kate or the children give shoutouts to them. Somebody saw Kate at a doctor's and wanted to know if she got that eye lift. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Again, I disagree, e-town. I realize you live in the same area, but unless you are right there in the lunch cafeteria eating with the kids and their friends and eavesdropping, you cannot possibly know the state of the children's social standing and whether they are teased about being famous or how much they are teased. I also think some adults like to convince themselves they are not being teased to justify this or make themselves feel better. I'm not saying that's you, but perhaps people who have told you they are not being teased are kidding themselves.
Having been a kid myself, I know the kind of teasing that goes on in school. And my school was, I'm told, very good about curbing bullies and teasing. It still goes on, it's part of childhood and something no one has figured out yet how to stop completely. This is not LA or NY, where every kid has done a commercial or modeling or maybe acted a few times on Law and Order and you're teased if you don't do that stuff. It's not the norm. While I agree kids probably are over it and don't care and I agree they probably don't even watch, it's still a subject that they can be teased about whether kids have seen the show or not.
I think it's sad if it's true no one drives to see their friends over the summer. That is not my experience with the children I nannied for who went to private school a good 35 minutes from home. We trucked them out there all the time, or their friends came out here. Pain in the ass, yes. But people just do it.
I sort of 'follow' Jason Hawes from Ghost Hunters (on the SyFy channel) on Facebook. It is the only 'reality' show I watch. Any way, today he posted that there would be a brand new episode tonight at 8P. Well, it wasnt new. About 30 minutes after it ended, he posted
"Jason Hawes/TAPS
Sorry about the confusion with "1 new episode of Ghost Hunters airing tonight and not in its correct time slot".
Our new season IS NOT back until August. Please pass the word"
He is the producer of his show, and he is not kept in the loop either about what is airing when and where. Odd.
Re the kids filming, I couldnt agree more that a guardian needs to be present during the times they are working. This was deliberatly filmed when their mother was out of state, they did not just 'wander into the frame while Kate was working.' If the guardians cannot be present, then why shouldnt a hired teacher, nurse or socialworker be present while the children work in front of cameras on their own? What is there to hide, sheeple? How could anyone argue against increased safety and comfort for little kids whose perfect precious mom is off having just a single solitary minute of fun for her deserving self? Sigh.
Filming the children will likely resume in full intensity as soon as Steve gets back. whenever Steve has completed an intense couple of months with Kate, he disappears for 4-6 weeks. Probably goes home to his wife. He returns and filming resumes with a packed schedule. It has been exactly this way for the past couple of years. Kate is not able to do a single thing without Steve guiding her, praising her, reassuring her, being her audience, directing her, reminding her, leading her around. While letting her think she is so strong, tough, entitled and 'a rare woman'.
Case in my point, a close friend of mine from high school had a couple bullies who gave her a hard time, ninth grade especially. She never told her parents. She cried to me a few times about this, but in our youth we thought telling adults would make it worse. We were talking about this bully a few years ago and kind of laughing off what had become of her (i.e. she went nowhere), when my friend is now a much-loved art teacher with tenure. We were telling her mom about it and her mom was SHOCKED. She never knew any of this and was upset we didn't tell her as she thought she could have done something. She felt awful and we reassured her she shouldn't.
But it just proves how well kids can hide bullying from unsuspecting adults--both the bullies and the victims will go to great lengths to hide it.

I met Jason and Grant last year during one of their seminar events here. Great guys, wonderful presentation. That Grant is a cutie! I spoke with a woman who was featured on one of their episodes - she's a curator at an historic site. She told me that the guys are real professionals, as is the staff, and they would welcome them back anytime.
Haunted Collector looks like it might be a bust. I wasn't impressed.
Dwindle:
OT. Just curious. What investigation was supposed to be featured on the "new" episode? Tonight they showed Pearl Harbor, one that I had never seen before. I believe that was the new show they were promoting.
I'm really confused about the Kate episodes. Are they listed for every Monday night this summer, and are they all being advertised as new - or are there re-runs scheduled? There would have to be twelve new episodes, and unless they do some serious fast filming, there won't be enough for that many new episodes.
UG! Just saw that YT someone posted. If l wasn't 100% sure about the G8 being exploited - l sure as hell know now. HOW can Khate enjoy all those people with booms and mics following every move and conversations. I was beginning to have an anxiety attack just watching the video. Those kids have grown up with that! IT's much, much worse than l could ever have imagined. Two cats, two dogs, 8(?) chickens..who else is she going to get rid of. Ooops forgot, husband, uncles, aunts, grandparents, friends...the list goes on. She isn't human. She can't be!!
Q. Was it difficult for some of your kids to be in different classes from others?
A. Not difficult considering the six of them were all in Kindergarten.
***
Why is that a "stupid" question? Most schools have more than one kindergarten class and this question is based on that completely logical assumption.

From TLC's site, they listed next week's episode along with 6/13's Episode 11/10 in that order. Most likely those are new since Episode 9 turned into Kate's Night Out.
TLC either has planned a full series like their hit shows or the show will have a brief season a la Quints By Surprise (season two's 6 episodes shown in 3 weeks). It's possible they could air the remaining episodes in June then take a hiatus to film more and air those at the end of summer like last year. OR, they have been filming all this time at McMansion but Kate has omitted that in her tweets (unless it was a trip) which is possible as who would have thought they would film the kids while Kate was in NY.
No reruns are scheduled on TLC's site except for the 3 new episodes about the appear in June.
Kate is the only person reporting that her show is airing every week this summer. It's possible she was misinformed or she didn't understand the info correctly. I hope she is wrong, for the kids' sake.
I'm kind of surprised no celeb has taken up the mantle for these kids. It is after all an industry matter. Are they afraid of the TLC juggernaut? Just don't care? Worried about bad press?

Come on sheeple, think.
Agreed. Do they think that Kate actually bought the silly string herself or the kids managed to sneak it in somehow (since they rarely go out according to locals)?
We've seen how temperamental Kate gets and I don't see these kids going crazy when she's away, without fearing repercussions. I guess we'll find out in your recap if she laughs this off or punishes them. If there are no consequences, then there's no real parenting going on in that house. (Or, it validates that this episode was staged...all for entertainment.)
Now I can better understand why some of these kids are having trouble outside the home. How are they to know what's right or wrong when their show encourages them to behave badly? It's sending them mixed messages. And here Kate keeps saying this is the realiest reality show.
Of course, Kate will twist this to show how hard it is for her as a mother of eight. Blame it on the kids, naturally.
I get that babysitters might want to plan some fun activities for kids, but this is just going overboard, messing up a house like that. This isn't The Cat In The Hat or Home Alone.
Fooling around on a staircase is risky business. Did someone encourage them to do this for filming or, did they do this on their own and the crew Dads and babysitter simply filmed and watched.
Why is that a "stupid" question? Most schools have more than one kindergarten class and this question is based on that completely logical assumption.
+++++++++++++++
I didn't say it was a "stupid" question, but wouldn't one first ask if the children were in different classes, and if they were, THEN proceed to ask the question if it was difficult? If they were not in different classes, then the question if it was difficult for the children really doesn't need to be asked.
Enough with the damn pool already; we get it, you loooove your pool. Which also begs the question, since we know how easily distracted Twitmom is, just who is the lifeguard with all those kids splashing around in The Pool? Another scenario that is potentially of great concern. Also makes you wonder if this involves filming since the weather has not been great, and frankly she never gets so excited about spending this much time alone with her children. I mean, hasn't she been at home for 3 whole weeks?

Correct, you didn't "say" the question was stupid, you merely implied it strongly by calling it "priceless."
The person assumed the kids were in different classes and asked a question based on that assumption. I don't know why that's deserving of your derision.
Admin...I also find it hard to believe that the kids never get teased in school.Kids are smart and kids can be damn cruel.We have heard from "insiders" who seem to know everything that goes on in that town.I find that very hard to believe.I could see a few of the kids telling other kids ..were rich and on tv..we dont have to do what you do.Were going on an airplane and your not. Wasent there an epi of some of the g kids being very mean to a little boy who was over at thier house?
It was made pretty clear the 2 of the kids believed they dont have to follow any rules.The only person they listen to is kate...and thats out of fear.They have seen mommy dearest in control from the start.No other adults seem to matter...kate has final say on everything.
For 2 of the kids to attack thier teachers and other peers,says alot.
It's showing that the kids dont know how to function in everyday events that most other 7 year olds have no problems dealing with.
Its very clear that something is going on.Maybe another child made a comment that made alexis snap and start spitting and hitting other kids.
I dont buy for one minute that these kids show up at school and everything is hunky dory.If that was the case,why did 2 of the kids get expelled? If there is no bullying or teasing...what set the g kids off?

--------------
It is a known fact that the tups are split, three and three(or they were,back when they were all in school).It was Leah, Aaden and Joel and Alexis,Collin and Hannah.Now that A and C are out of school I guess Hannah was alone. I think I said this before, but it's weird they put Collin and Alexis in the same class,considering the fact that they(J and K) spend 5 seasons talking about how those two can't stand each other.
If I were Ashley, I would be humiliated that I would be presented on TV as not being able to control those kids. Obviously the producer and crew encouraged the behavior because they needed the storyline. Trashing the house and misbehaving are "fun" according to the sheeple? What universe are these women from?!
And I agree that it would have to be some parallel universe to find a school where kids are not teased, particularly considering how these children have behaved on camera and their feeling of entitlement. Their classmates are most likely unimpressed with their fame but most probably jealous of it and their special treatment of being allowed unlimited absences from school. The result----bullying. Private schools aren't special when it comes to bullying. I attended one and was bullied for years.
I am thinking that she has begun to call the crew "friends," as she suddenly has come up with a great number of them referencing them often. That would explain her newfound love of "her" pool that she apparently just discovered.
Oh I forgot....TLC will you furnish the bikinis please, please, please.
Admin, I notice a preponderance of "anonymouses" showing up lately. It gets tedious trying to keep track - can they be encouraged to follow rule #1? please?
Also, talking about episodes - what about the Thanksgiving and Easter footage? Did they not film Memorial Day party?
I have to admit I am confused, since I don't live my life in EPISODES!
Is there a chance that the "anonymouses" could pick a name, even Anonymous 101 or Anonymous A or Anonymous B? It's really difficult to reply to a comment when one doesn't know which "anonymous" has spoken and then responded!
Rule 1 clearly says "Do not use Anonymous." There are very few rules here as compared to other blogs.

So what shows do we know are already in the can?
Birthday trip to NY/Kids destroy home

Sextuplets Birthday party
I think that's it, right?
***************************
Don't forget the "fake" Easter episode. Kate said they filmed it 2 weeks before Easter. I want to know who will be interested in watching the 8 do an Easter Egg hunt in July??
I think I heard this morning On GMA that a new set of sextuplets were born?? And the reporter then said "No reality TV show in the works though" and then Robin & George laughed like an evil laugh...
So, again, sextuplets, not a miracle of science anymore KATE!!!
~Hippie Chick~
So, the youngest kids are going into 1st grade? Yes? No? We don't know? I sure as hell hope so. It sure would do them some good to catch up, & maybe if Kate works with them this summer instead of just hanging by the damn pool, maybe they'll have a really good shot at being in a good place. I'm sure not all of them are behind, but it seems some are. Just from the clips I have seen here on this site, they talk very babyish & it's very hard to understand them. They should need sub-titles which I saw in 1 clip. That is not good.
Kate, IMO, which has always been my opinion, wants to keep them younger looking, & acting younger for ratings. That is deceitful, & just plain cruel to her children who are being held back because of Kate's need to stay relevant. Too late. Her show is in the gutter. It's time to let the kids spread their wings & flourish. They won't magically catch up on their own. Kate needs to step it up & help them. There are workbooks at the book store to help. Instead of getting her tan on, she needs to TEACH her kids. Lazy cow.
~Hippie Chick~
OMG! The pool AGAIN! I am telling you those kids will not want to go anywhere near that pool by July if she keeps this up. Doesn't the perfect mom of 8 have any other ideas to entertain her kids? Guess what Kate, we have a pool too, but my kids don't want to spend every single day, day in and day out, in it. But,then again, my kids are busy with baseball, laCrosse and gymnastics AND I let them off the property every now and then. UGH!
OMG! I am so sick of the F&8%$#! pool!!! I am walking away from the twat before I explode. The nouveau riche shit has to stop. No one cares. Ugh. I suppose I am just 'jellus' since I don't have one, right?
Sorry for the mini-rant.
I have a bad feeling about this new episode with the kids behaving badly. I think TLC is trying to find the hook to bring viewers back in, and what better hook than to create situations where the kids are out of control. Sadly, people are drawn to watching bad behavior, so I am worried that this is going to become a recurring theme if viewership goes up for this episode.
I sincerely hope that everyone who has been trying to help these children by NOT watching the show will continue to NOT watch, especially this latest attempt at exploiting the children.
Just when you think TLC and Kate can do nothing more to hurt these children, they pull a despicable stunt like this.
Blogger is having a bug right now that is taking them forever to fix where some people using internet explorer can ONLY post as anonymous.
I know this is true because that's exactly what happens to me. I switched over to chrome so I can post with a name.
Until they fix it I will permit anonymous with the honor system that people using it are having trouble posting.
I do recommend Chrome though. Blogger and Internet explorer seem to be like oil and water. That is the browser that seems to be causing the "I have to click post comment four times before it goes through" problems. Ugh. I've found blogs are 10 times easier to deal with when I'm on Chrome.
Well Kate says this upcoming episode is going to make her die of embarrassment.
Good grief, if that's how she feels, how does she think the kids feel???
I think TLC thinks filming the kids playing Connect Four with Ashley, hide and go seek, doing some homework, and cooking dinner together and then cuddling at bedtime and reading a book is a big fat YAWN.
And it would be. But it would be what a normal good nanny would do and what I strongly suspect is exactly what would happen if not for the cameras.
I think what's weird and creepy is people demanding Kate tell them what class the kids are in, how they are split up, etc.
Um, try this: None of your f-ing business???
Sheesh.

Did the perfect Mom just curse on Twitter??
I agree with everyone's opinion that parents and adults cannot be 100% sure about teasing/bullying. Even before the "voluntary withdrawal" of 2 tups, there was great discussion here, and on the other site, that there was NO bullying at that particular school AND on the bus. Not long after, low and behold, 2 kids are expelled for BULLYING.
Kids are sneaky, each and EVERY one of us has vivd memories of "teasing", what makes the tups or that school so special??? I dare anyone to say they were NEVER teased/bullied, ANYONE. It's ridiculous to say (maybe they won't be teased about "this" particular episode...semantics) that there is no teasing...
AS IF the perpetrator would do it in front of an adult/teacher EVERY SINGLE TIME??? Most schoolyard bullying happens out of the teachers' sight.
No Jason tweeted the curse and Kate begged him not to dieee as she needs his freebies!!!
LOL then some sheeple used the occasion to trash the "haters" claiming we all live in our mom's basements. Um, I haven't lived with my parents since I was 18 years old and 3 months. I pay my own way, unlike their idol. So, are they making fun of people for mooching off others? Isn't that what Kate does every darn day? As they like to say, just sayin'.
Pool again!!!!! Maybe she can't afford the tanning salon anymore and hanging by the pool is her only way of getting baked. What a life....nanny, cook, pool, sleep. Enjoy it while you can, Kate, because it's coming to an end.
So she says "4" new episodes. I think we have them figured out. Doesn't sound like they are filming anything new now. She has been dropping hints via twitter about her desires for new vacations and I bet TLC is not interested. She needs those freebies to keep ol' Steve around.
BTW, chlorine and hair dye don't mix well. I wonder if her hair is green by now :)
Just because she's by the pool, doesn't mean she goes in! :)
She just lounges, just like the pics of her striking a pose, arms up over her head. It's the nanny's job to go in with the kids, dontcha know! She's in a perpetual vaction isn't she?
I haven't been able to post here using my google account for over a week. I try to remember to sign my posts at the bottom, but I'm afraid at least a couple of the "anonymous" posts are from me. BTW Admin - I participate in a number of blogs - mostly book or music related - that use blogger, and this is the ONLY one I'm having trouble with. I've tried both Chrome and Firefox in addition to IE and still have the same problem.
It's first day of summer vacation and Kate's been twatting all morning. Way to demonstrate those priorities, Kate!
I don't think it's a known fact that the tups are split up in school. IIRC, they were for pre-school and Junior K, but I don't recall hearing/seeing anything about them being separated for K.

Admin...were you referring to my question about the kids going into 1st grade being weird & creepy? I was just wondering. I could care less if they are split up or not. I just hope they move on from kindergarten & get to grow up so Kate can stop using them as "baby pawns".

I don't know that the kids were being any more rambunctious than other kids their age, based on the previews that have been seen/talked about here.
I think, as someone commented earlier, this is being staged/set up so TLC can play up Kate's alleged OCD. I think it's being made more dramatic than it really warrants. My kids roughhouse, they've made messes inside. My solution? They can make forts, etc. but they have to clean it up before bed. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand cause and effect, IMO.
Re: Ashley
I thought she was a college graduate. Did she take a 2 year college course? Most people are
about 22 when they graduate from a university, certainly older than 19. I'm confused.

Sorry for the OT, everyone.
Kate, I have leather furniture and pool. And a master's degree. And 4 degreed children all nicely employed and happy. And I did it all all all alone, on my own, Can-Do Me, Clean Slate Me, I am 'a rare woman' who put myself through 7 years of education while working and raising 4 babies with no father to take them on weekends or any child support coming in. I too live in the country. I never had a purse holder or a back up corporation that were paid to smooth my life over and grant me freebies, although I did get a free block of cheese every month there for a couple of years.
Grow up, Kate. Your twins are much more mature than you are at this point.
Long time lurker. Anyway, hasn't Kate or Jon said in the past that Kate doesn't like to get wet, and doesn't get into the pool at all? Seems like it was also said that she couldn't swim..am I remembering correctly? If that is so, who is there in case one of the kids gets into trouble while in the water?
3 tweets does not equal, "tweeting all morning."
I'm a hater but think analyzing kate's every burb is getting obnoxious.
