'Don't watch Kate Plus 8' sign contest for $40 Target gift card; Discussion Thread: Kate's Toughest Questions

Ratings are pretty stagnent for Kate Plus 8, which appears to have put Kate in panic mode. Now she's asking her tweeple to make signs urging everyone to watch the show Monday. The prize? An autographed copy of Kate's book!

Want a better prize? Like say, a $40 Target gift card?! We're having our own counter-contest here at Realitytvkids.com. Design your own sign urging folks not to watch, you can use photoshop or make it out of cut up boxed wine boxes or whatever strikes your fancy. No rules, even illegal signs allowed! The funnier the better. You can email it to us at admin@realitytvkids.com, or tweet it to us at @realitytvkids. Happy creativity, get the entries in to me before the end of the show Monday and I'll pick the winner after the show airs.

Except for the fact that she really doesn't want to date and get married, she just wants to play with the idea of both - just imagine her actually going to church, somewhat incognito, having coffee with a nice divorced dad? Nope, can't happen that way as she is too much of a STAH for that now - nope, she has nothing to offer in the dating game, but talking about it sounds good. I predict that sooner or later Jon & Ellen will quietly get married and she will never have that life again.

So many of the submissions are from young kids. One is only 11 years old! WHAT are these parents thinking about? 11???

This from a kid made me sad. To think worshiping this bimbo worth millions. Do you think she even thought about what the kid said? Man.

"sorry I couldn't do better but I couldn't afford the materials"

And Paige OH Paige. This child does need a serious life/hobby/parental supervision/intervention. This girl is a teen! Intense? Shaking?

Only read the first 50 or so posts, so forgive me if I'm off subject a bit. Unless Khate thinks her autograph is worth more than $20, that is a pretty crappy prize she's offering. The shipping probably costs more than the book itself. My hubby bought me a joke copy of IJWYTK for Xmas last year for $2.00 at Ollie's Bargain Outlet. It's now worth no more than the paper it's printed on.

I also agree with those that said Khate could have handled it so much better. BM wasn't trying to hijack Khate's contest. All Khate had to ask was for BM to refer her fans to follow Khate's twitter. Lordy be, she could have gotten more twitter fans out of that exchange, for no work at all! And if Khate was meaning to exclude any Johnny-come-lately fans and only reward her core group of 12 die-hards, she could just send them all a copy - she's gotta have a sh*t ton of those books laying around collecting dust.

Red Sky At Night said...

She should be pleasant to the woman who neglects her husband, children and weight in order to worship her. BM would be in heaven if Kate called her for a three minute interview. Instead she continues to kick her in the teeth.

##################

Here's the thing, though. Yes, she was nasty to her and could have worded it much differently, or not said anything at all. That was wrong. But, she can't call BM for a three-minute interview. She can't encourage her because if you throw just one small biscuit (not even a bone) that's when the problems start, and she will be relentless. We're not talking about a "normal" fan here. I think Kate knows this.

After all, isn't it speculated that she's the reason Steve was hired in the first place? The last thing Kate needs to do is have any kind of a personal connection with an obsessive fan. These people just will not let go.

So she is NOT the 'producer" after all? Shocker! No, she gets not final say so in the final product? Make up your mind there Katie. So she is not perfect and doesn't mind looking like an idiot AGAIN for money. Great. Leave your KIDS out of it. Why show their hurt and distress, you idiot. That is NOT entertainment.

Also the going to church lie. She said clearly she watched services from home. SEVERAL fans even backed her up on this, saying it was a good way to watch and "attend" church, blah blah. Then she tells another fan she DOES go? Why only go if the kids are home? Not a real 'believer' there, Kate? I do not believe for a second she is going to church again. The lies, the lies.

Words of wisdom 4 today: take some deep breaths,don't panic when things don't go ur way,remember: rainbow after every storm! Xoxo 2 u all 28 minutes ago
----------------------------------
This is for to laugh! For Kate to say this of all things. When has KATE ever seen (saw) a rainbow after a storm? All she does is complain & moan & bitch & cry. Why oh why does this happen to ME ME ME all the time? Life is so hard for poor little Kate. Please. She puts it all on herself. If just ONCE she would try to pull some posititive feelings out her flat butt, the maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't have to cry about how hard her life is. She has it so easy she doesn't even know. Maybe "Miss. Stuck In A Bubble" should pick up a newspaper or something & really see what's going on in the world. Then she would have some appreciation about how "difficult" her life really is.

Michelle said...

So being on the Today show and all the other press she did last Monday before the show didn't help ratings, but tweeties taping signs to poles will do the trick. Is that seriously what Kate's thinking or is this just about feeding her narcissism?

Kokomo, Cocktails, and Dreams said...

It just occurred to me that bigfan who lives in Hershey missed the contest! She would have asked Kate if hanging the poster on the fence of an apartment complex would be public because the complex is privately owned.
I think she did mention she was going away (to RI). Maybe she's still sitting in the E-Z Pass lane trying to figure out why her GPS doesn't know that she doesn't have one!

Virginia Pen Mom said...

Does anyone think this is a strange tweet from the fan who lives an hour or so from Kate, but was shopping close to Kate's house? I believe it was Etown Neighbor who said, who goes an hour away for groceries? This is also the fan who kept pushing Kate to work out together, to go on a cruise, to go on a walk, to go shopping... I just have the funny feeling this person made a point of bumping into Kate and didn't even get a greeting.

That fan BigfanofKateG is SCARY. I do hope that Kate's 'security team' is aware of this one. I saw those tweets begging her to walk with her, as she got closer and closer to her house.

This one really worries me. I wonder if Kate even recognizes the potential danger?

_________

If there is a show with Kate dating, I could care less. The kids were the draw, although I stopped watching several years ago,when I realized Kate was an opportunist, willing to exploit her own children for fame, no matter the cost to the kids.

Let Kate make an ass of herself (although the kids deserve better) if she leaves them out of filming and ridicule for classmates and all of the world to see. I guarantee this show with Kate alone dating will flop in a minute, as quite frankly, who gives a damn if she gets a date. I don't. And 97 % of men would run like the wind, unless they wanted camera time. Sorry to say, but maybe it is time for Kate to be exploited and humiliated solely. .. too damn bad if she does not like it. Truth be told, very few give a damn what KG does, so it will be a huge flop!!

E-town Neighbor said...

I don't get that tweet either. Do the schools give parents assignments? E-Town or any local know? Doing MY first school project??

+++++++++++++++++++++

I don't believe we're supposed to discuss school matters here, but speaking generically (can I get around it this way??!!), older kids have some reading assignments with very simple follow up writing to do. Younger kids are encouraged to read on a daily basis, and BE READ TO, and maybe go to the library or bookstore. There's an emphasis on poetry, with the parent helping to recite poetry and write simple rhymes. That's the only project.

Her "project" would be to make sure that the kids are reading the assigned material, reading to them and with them, and following up on it.

Parents are not given assignments to do on their own! It seems she is making a mountain out of a molehill!

No Regrets said...

"Virginia Pen Mom said... I just have the funny feeling this person made a point of bumping into Kate and didn't even get a greeting."


Or PLANNING to run into her? Spooky girl.

IDModo said...

Just acouple of observations:
-Kate doesn't want to meet a man at any church, because he would likely tell her about the error of her ways and suggest pastoral counselling, if he was a conscientious church member
- Some people think a dating show for Kate is OK as long as the kids aren't on it. I respectfully disagree, as anything she does in public will reflect on her children now.She has put them in the public eye forever.

Nobody Likes a Narcissist said...

I cannot imagine any 10/11 year olds that would not freak the hell out if their mother was on national tv on a dating show/series. All their friends would know, and it would be horribly embarrassing for them. Most mothers would realize that and never even consider doing it.

No Regrets said...

E-town Oh sorry, I didn't mean to be personal about their school. A "generic" question I meant it to be. thanks so much for the way you answered. I know schools around here, generally do not have assignments as such, private or public. In one of the my daughters' area the private schools DO assign things to parents.

Thanks so much for your tactful answer!

I do agree that if she goes it alone GREAT. But I think we all know she won't. As you say it would be a flop. TLC knows this, Kate knows this. If she could carry a show alone, Twisted Kate would have premiered years ago. Gee what a great "family" show. To make it interesting. of course, Kate will act a total jerk. These kids HAVE to be embarrassed by her. I think the dating thing WILL be mixed in with the kids 'playing' at home, on camera, of course, while mommy meets 'all' these prospects, which none she will like. LOL

Anonymous said...

I'm gone most of yesterday and this morning and fun breaks out! LOVE some of the signs from non-fans. Jupiter, your church sign is my favorite so far. If only Kate would read it and take it to heart. Wish I had an ounce of artistic ability. I'd enter in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, most 2 year olds are better at this sort of thing than I am. If Admin ever sponsors a writing contest, though, I'm in. I can't wait to see what the creative people on this blog have come up with.

I can't believe that Kate twatted that she dreams of a "south africa - jungle safari". She obviously knows nothing about South Africa. Last I looked, they didn't have jungles there. The Veldt, deserts, some mountains, but NO jungles. It's obvious she's just putting anything and everything out there in hopes of getting more free trips.

Seeing all the craziness coming out of KateCentral the past few days makes me appreciate even more the fact that Jon lasted with her as long as he did AND has emerged relatively sane and whole. It also makes me more sad and worried for the kids. It's going to take them a lifetime to become normal, if they ever do. I can't even laugh at her any more. It's too sad and scary for those innocent children.

E-town Neighbor said...

Followup - I don't know why she would wait until the last minute. They've had all summer to do this. It's not supposed to be a last minute deal. Maybe she's having trouble with the drawing/list the older kids are supposed to construct as a follow-up to the assigned reading!

"This one really worries me. I wonder if Kate even recognizes the potential danger?"

+++++++++++++++++++++

Yes. I agree. Out of all the obsessive fans, there are two that I would be most concerned about, and that's one of them. The other is the one who "mentors" teenage girls and pesters the daylights out of Kate to meet up with her.

Virginia said...

BM is singing this at karaoke tonight:

I guess this time you're really leaving (let's hope!)
I heard your pink iPhone, say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
you say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for youuuuuu.

Does anyone think this is a strange tweet from the fan who lives an hour or so from Kate, but was shopping close to Kate's house? I believe it was Etown Neighbor who said, who goes an hour away for groceries?

++++++++++++++++++++++

It's not only strange, but she's getting a little bit too bold and too close for comfort. There was no reason for her to be shopping at the Lebanon Valley Mall or at the grocery store five minutes away from Kate's house.
Isn't this how full-blown stalking begins?

E-town Neighbor said...

No regrets - you're welcome. I was thinking about what a "project" might mean to Kate. I believe this is just one more exaggeration to confirm her claim that she's so exhausted and tired. This "project" is the simple act of reading to a child or sharing a book for 20 minutes a day. It's parental involvement in the daily lives of her children. She's not used to doing it.

This comes easy for most parents who are involved in their children's lives - taking walks, discussing around the dinner table what was read and how it applies to everyday life...finding beauty in nature, looking at the stars or living creatures, or going to the library to find books centered around various themes. Parents do this. Kate never has, and perhaps she's finding this stressful, especially since her area of concentration right now is tweeting and making up rules for a contest, all of which is much more important to her than seeing to it that her children are ready to share their summer reading assignments on the first day of school.

*************************************************

Just want to comment, not disagreeing about the strangeness of the grocery shopping. The Lebanon Valley Mall is not a stretch for someone in Hershey. I know. I live in Hershey. The Lebanon Vally Mall is essentially the same distance as Harrisburg East or Colonial Park. Frankly, I spend the extra 10 minutes and take myself to Lancaster Park City because none of those malls here offer anything and us "locals" have nicknames for them.

Anyway, I don't know about the grocery shopping this fan was doing. I could see someone hitting the Reading Outlets (Vanity Fair) or even the Green Dragon on Fridays, but unless this grocery store is something special, I don't why anyone would drive 40 mins to the Reading area to grocery shop.

I'm curious if anyone knows where this "super fan" lives in Hershey. I think someone mentioned an apartment complex - I would happily take a drive today to see if there is a sign up and then post a counter sign.

Tamara said... Ah, the memories of trying to keep a beloved tv programme on the air. I think my first was "My So-Called Life". I might be dating myself with that one lol. Then I recall sending a bottle of tabasco to try and keep "Roswell" on, if any one remembers that one...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Those were shows of quality! Well thought out and beautifully written scripts with deep story lines. The acting was superb!

And if you wanna talk about dating yourself, I will admit to being part of the letter writing campaign that brought Star Trek back for another season. (blush)

I still say this will be a sociological study of how the media purchases the human psyche. How many of these sheeple will look back on this in 20 years and think what that Gosselin woman did to her children was as wonderful as they think it is right now?

Just googled "Donnamarie Trayer", the Starbucks gifter, and found a photo she posted 2 months ago with the caption...

"Friggin Kate Gosslin in front of me St the car wash! She still thinks her shit don't stink!!"

Strange that she is now giving Kate a Starbucks gift card. Maybe setting herself up as a friend?

Maybe she's testing Kate to see if she really will give back? Although she should've known that that wasn't going to happen.

Do Hershey residents go to the Green Dragon on Friday nights? I would think that Roots on Tuesdays, right down 283 would be much closer!

"I think someone mentioned an apartment complex - I would happily take a drive today to see if there is a sign up and then post a counter sign."

+++++++++++++++++

I wouldn't do that. Admin discouraged anyone from putting up any sign in public. I think the poster missed out on the contest because she's with her parents. In fact, she just tweeted that she's staying over one more night with her parents so she can watch the show tonight.

She just tweeted:

************************************************

Agreed. There is a Redner's in Palmyra (for those not familiar, Palmyra is between Hershey and Lebanon). The Redner's is literally ten minutes down Rt 422 from chocolate factory, so no reason to be at one in Sinking Springs.

I LOVE Roots - I try to go every Tuesday I am available. And yes, it is very much closer than the Green Dragon. I doubt anyone from Hershey would travel to the Green Dragon on a Friday night. I could see taking a trip on a Friday morning for a change of pace (or if you couldn't make it to Roots on a Tuesday, or the Palmyra farmer's market on Sat. or the Hershey farmer's market on Thursdays, or the Grantville Fri/Sat.) Actually there is little reason any longer to go to the Green Dragon.

I have seen some of the tweets from this fan and they are indeed reminiscent of the Single White Female. I wasn't really planning to post a sign, I should clarified that was just snark. Sorry.

On a serious note, I have concerns about the pathology of some Khate's fans. Some I just pity because they must be lonely souls who may just find their only relationship connections via the internet. Khate may not be the only "celebrity" they try to make contact with. However, some of the others have begun to really become concerning. My concern is for the children and the children alone....just want to make that clear. Who knows what one of these delusional fans might try to do.

Just Dwindle Away said...

Re going to church; first she couldnt go alone without Jon. Now she cant go unless she has the kids?

Re meeting a man; the only type of man that Gosselin woman wants is a Spencer Pratt or Jake Pavleka type. Meet a man at a church function?! HA! Someone like that couldnt possibly "know how to help her". She is "a public person" now and someone from some church would never be up to her lofty standards.

Re a dating show with Jamie; it all just clicked in my meager brain. I bet it's a done deal already. That is why TLC is promoting Jamie and that is why that Gosselin woman is allowing Jamie to talk tough with her on camera. It's all part of a role they are playing for a new show and TLC is smartly introducing Jamie slowly to the sheeple. Sheeple, as we know, do not adjust easily to change.

Re the signs that woman wants displayed; I think she knows without a doubt the children's show is over. These antics are not about saving the show, it is about blaming TLC for not promoting HER enough and for showing future projects how suddenly devoted she is to promoting any future venture.

Re her speaking style; I guess she continues to surprise me. She wanted very badly to have a media career, I am stunned she didnt work at it. Intense training on her speech, her diction, her demeanor, her grammar, her presentation, eye contact, interviewing skills, etc. I know with her mental illness she dismissed the idea that she needed training in any of those areas, but it still surprises me that she put no personal OCD effort into improving herself.

Re the kids embarrasment; The twins are nearly 11 years old. Their childhoods are destroyed. They will never even be able to run to the corner drug store for maxi-pads without hearing from people what an ass their mother is, and without some shopper or clerk taking to twitter to annouce which twin is having her period right now. They will be recognized for the rest of their lives. Their college transcipts will be leaked and every A will be because their mother is so wonderful and every C will be because their father is... something or another bad. At some point in the years to come one or two of the kids will publicize how awful their upbringing was and they will get bashed horribly in public by sheeple who will call them ungrateful liars, as will their own mother.

For the sheeple that are reading this: Please stop gawking and peeping at these children. Please. They are none of your business and you are helping their mother harm them.

PS, I cant wait to see all of your pictures! Hehe! No TV in my house tonight, hubs and I will put on some music, he will do some online work and I have a needlework project calling my name.

Westcoaster said...

Only tv in my house tonight is going to be a baeball game. I see the Twitch is moaning about her messy house (ok, so get off the twitter and pick it up) and patting herself on her gourmet back for making custom pizzas for lunch. Oh please, take out Boboli shells and put prepared toppings on it, but nice of her to let them choose - wow, that was exhausting. Now I'm exhausted reading about it.

As I said earlier, there is no real interest in dating, she has no idea how to relate to anyone - and she is too much of a STAH to go to church and talk to some nice divorced dads over coffee. And too phony to go about it in any normal way.

School projects? Sounds like she's downloading and printing pictures to put on kids' folders/portfolios - yep, really hard work - but since you have 8 kids, yes, it could get kinda boring. I always hated filling out back to school paperwork x3, but really K8 what the hell else do you have to do, and if you stepped away from the Twitter . . .

Put me in the group of devastated fans when "My So Called Life" was cancelled. There really hasn't been a good teen drama since then, of course I haven't been a teen since then either!!

And since I am posting, I have to say that the signs the sheep made were very 'amateur-ish'! My 5 year old niece (who I spent the weekend with) could make a similar one. Finger paints and pretzels? I just don't know what to think about any of it. It's all so sad!
Of course none of you have seen my entries to admin's contest!! You might think mine were sad too! But, I can assure you that no 'ingredients' from the kitchen were used. ;)

They're really coming out of the woodwork, aren't they? Kate opened up a can of worms with her tweeting frenzy.

Hehe. They're going to have to take that phone away from her again. She's like a kid in school who's supposed to be doing her schoolwork and she's busy twatting instead. Ratclaws is going to actually have to work for his money warding off the two or three tweeple who want to talk to her face to face.

E-town Neighbor said...

The Redner's is literally ten minutes down Rt 422 from chocolate factory, so no reason to be at one in Sinking Springs.

Unless you are stalking Kate!

"Actually there is little reason any longer to go to the Green Dragon."

++++++++++++++++++

The only excitement at Green Dragon is when the police raid and arrest the sellers of knock-offs! That's always amusing.

"Who knows what one of these delusional fans might try to do."

+++++++++++++++++

Especially those who want to meet up in a grocery store parking lot or share a cabin on a cruise ship!

Exactly. She didn't just now find out she had to do this. She's been procrastinating. When she said "project" I thought it had something to do with academics/reading assignments and she was doing her kids' homework for them. You have eight kids - you do what needs to be done and you stay off Twitter until its done.

Sign Of The Times said...

Are all of those who entered the ridiculous contest out there today, photographing and offering validation that their signs are still on public display? ;-) Are they disqualified if they can't provide proof?

I wonder if Kate was on the phone with the suits today.

Westcoaster said...

But no, she is twitting every minute or so it reads this morning, maybe a 20 minute break to make custom pizzas. And what it is so sad it that her kids are home, going back to school soon and all the eff she can do is tweet. Apparently she does not even need to go school shopping (well maybe if TLC would film it). I doubt they spend this much time alone on their Daddy weekends. I get to play here today because my kids are grown, and I am on summer vacation - I NEVER took thiis kind of time away when mine were the ages that hers are. I know we did not have computers and social media, but I certainly was not on the phone all day to to friends, or sitting by myself reading a book, same thing. Pathetic twitch.

Tamara, you're not alone--I was DEVASTATED when My So-Called Life was canceled!
-------------------------
Me too! And Scrubs, Friends, etc. I LOVE Cougar Town, Modern Family, The Middle...I just love scripted TV. There is nothing that compares IMO! What happened to good old television? MY So-Called Life was so great. Do you all remember the show with Patti Lupone (sp?)? She had a daughter, Kelli Martin & a son with down-syndrome & another son I believe? My Life maybe? THAT show was really, really good. Oh! And The Wonder Years! LOVED that one. And Grey's Anatomy is SUPER awesome!! I could go on & on, but I won't...LOL

Hold on to your hats, folk, but I'm reading rapid fire tweets that K+8 has not been renewed by TLC. Will snoop around for confirmation.

The kids are finally free!!!!! The show is cancelling-- no contract renewal!!! woohoo!!!

Tucker's Mom said...

I just have to tip my hat to all of you very perceptive and smart people who called this ridiculous attempt to boost ratings for what is was-- life support.
It appears that the kid's show is cancelled. I would not be surprised if TLC floats an episode or two of a Kate dating show to gauge interest, but at least the kids will get more privacy than they have now.
I hope Kate handles it ok for the children's sake, and I hope she gets a gig that she likes and doesn't reflect poorly on or embarass the kids.

Kate Gosselin's TV Show, Kate Plus 8, Gets Canceled- People Magazine
Monday August 15, 2011 03:00 PM EDT

TLC – the network that gave viewers a firsthand glimpse of Kate's tumultuous and highly publicized split from ex-husband Jon Gosselin while they continued to raise their eight children – will no longer follow the 36-year-old and her brood with cameras.

"TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8," a network rep told PEOPLE in a statement. "By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future."

Anne said...

I find it highly coincidential-ish that this all so brief announcement comes the afternoon after her manic tweeting frenzy for promotion.

Do you all think she knew yesterday? Do you think she knew this morning and is ignoring it (or drunk)? Or do you think she just hasn't clicked on the People link to the article yet?

I have so many questions - is Rat Claws finished packing yet? Will BM need to be treated for depression? Has the trainer come to pick up Shoka?

BAA WAA HAA!!!!!!!

Serious note: a little premature, but Admin, I hope you are going to keep your blog going....for the sake of other reality tv kids....your blog has been fantastic for so many reasons....kudos.

Tucker's Mom said...

I actually feel bad (and I think Admin called this from waaay back). Kate has confirmed via twitter. Confirmed, not announce. She can not even type the words, and is just saying "yes".
Kate may have had an inkling that this was coming, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kate found out at the last minute, or like the rest of us with the TLC press release to People.

Zoe said...

Wouldn't be funny if the twitter contest was the last straw?

Hallelujah said...

KATE PLUS 8 HAS BEEN CANCELLED per Katie I. Kreider herself (via Twitter, of course).


@duke7894 Allison
@Kateplusmy8 why are you canceling your show???? I love kate plus 8! Please don't!

Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
@duke7894 TLC cancelled it. I'm sorry

Nobody Likes a Narcissist said...

OH my! I was away for a few hours and I'm just checking in, haven't even read it all yet, stopped when I got to the posts about the news! But, I have to comment first!

I SWEAR I am not lying here everyone but get this - a few hours ago, I was thinking about this whole mess and wondering what I'd see when I got back here today, and also what what was going on at TLC today. I KNEW Khate would have gotten in trouble (I sent TLC a lot of tweets last night and earlier today, btw). So, anyway, a couple of hours ago, I was thinking Gee, maybe THIS is finally Khate's undoing, maybe TLC saw this INSANE crap today and the shit hit the fan at TLC. I thought to myself, you know, if I were in charge at TLC and we had plans not to renew her show but we were not going to tell her until the fall, after all the taped shows were through airing, well, what Khate did last night and today would have pissed me off so bad that I would have made the executive decision and said "That's IT! Can her effing ass NOW!"

OMG, I swear, that was what I was thinking just a few of hours ago! You know, for TLC to actually do it TODAY confirms for us that we were all right, that the shit REALLY DID hit the fan over this crazy contest crap Khate's doing on Twitter! SHE is her own undoing, just like we ALWAYS said she was and would be!

Congratulations Khate and the sheeple, you got yourself canned! LOVE IT!

Please, dear God, let this be the end of public lives for the Gosselin kids. NO more tv shows, please. Also, I really hope Khate doesn't lose it on them. I said it last night, I really am worried for the kids, especially after seeing Khate's current state/mental illness. I just hope they can start a new school year in peace, have a normal life now that they don't have to be pulled out of school, dragged around filming, or work weekends and after school with TLC crews at the house. Let them be kids, concentrate on school, have friendships, sports, activities, fun, etc.

Oy, just checked Twitter and she's in full pity party mode, TLC cancelled her, there were tears at their breakfast table today (yeah, HER tears, not the kids).

I have to catch up now! Sorry for rambling!

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

If this is true, I can only say YEAH for the kids who never had a say in this fiasco!!!

ABC said...

If there were tears from the kids it's because she told them that now they would starve to death and have to live under a bridge.

boyson said...

Now that the kids are unemployed, it's time for Kate to get a REAL job.

Remember, during her divorce she said she would be willing work at McDonald's to support her kids.

We shall see.

Twist of Kate? What happened to that show? Never mind. :-)

HollyMo said...

I just leave for one hour and looks what happened!
HALLELUJAH!!
I wish we could all have a party together to celebrate! I will raise a glass to my fellow "15 minuters" in honour of this fantastic news!

I did send Jon a tweet (even before I posted here) to say "Congrats! hopefully your kids will have some peace, privacy and a chance at normalcy! That's my wish for them anyway! xo"

Peace to all of you as well!

HollyMo said...

i wonder if she will still live tweet during tonight's show? Or will she need both hands to hold that box of wine up to her mouth?

Red Sky At Night said...

This is from the sheeple who has the fixation on Alexis (uses her pic in the avatar):

@Kateplusmy8 the family i loved watching.. kate plus 8 , forever in our hearts

@Kateplusmy8 if you can.. tell alexis, she will always be my inspiration, she grew up and became the most amazing kid ever.

She makes it sound like they are dead!

Kate's Twisted Fate said...

"Twist of Kate? What happened to that show? Never mind. :-)"

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Not too long ago she said that they were still "reworking it." She'd pop on various shows and say how busy she is because she has Kate Plus Eight, and "my show is in the works."
Uh-huh, yeah, right.

Just Down The Road said...

Well, so much for South Africa, Ireland, Sweden, Asia, and heaven knows where else. I guess the bucket list has been dumped right along with her show. At least she got to see HER Rushmore.

You know, she has nobody to blame but herself. In putting forth the realest reality show out there, she showed herself to be a truly miserable human being. In the end, it did her in. There is no reward for despicable behavior.

Hmmm....wonder if this explains why they "were between sitters".

Donna said...

This is a red-letter day, friends! Thank God the show is finally over and now maybe those kids can have a semi-normal life (it will never be normal w/Kate). Lower that fork, Admin!!

Hippie Chick said...

Hallelujah! Her kids are freeeee!

Jenna Does said...

OK, so another poster said there are rules & regulations of having a TV personality giving a contest. I believe it! Kate is having her teen fans running around in public, hanging signs, putting themselves in danger & for what? To keep a dead show on it's last breath. So, TLC gets wind of this little stunt that they had no clue about. They finally see Kate, twittering up a frenzy, making her "fans" watch this ailing show, "you tell 10 people" & so on. She is having this contest & again, gets ZERO permission from HER BOSSES, presumably.

So, on she goes, doing what SHE thinks is best FOR HER. Taking ZERO consideration to the fact that she could get into serious trouble, or one of her young fans could get into serious trouble. When TLC brass finds out, they FLIP OUT. This is the last straw. They can't justify anything any longer: her ratings suck, her attitude sucks, her show is pointless, NO ONE can relate to her anymore & the kids want to move on. Not to mention that Kate is just not likeable at all.

Kate gets a phone call, most likely late last night or today telling her that it's over. Now, we all have called this from DAY ONE. The twittering will STOP cold. Her fans will be left hanging, & Kate will be but a blip on the radar. In a half a year, it will be "Kate Gosselin who?" The kids will eventually be living w/ Jon, & Kate will TRY & pursue a solo career but since reality TV is so...lame nobody will want to touch her. Her 'career' is over. She will shun her fans, her kids, & whomever is left in her life. She will end up on "Celebrity Rehab", or something equally embarrassing.

Oh, but just ONE more time, she'll hit the talk-show circuits, telling everyone how TLC took money out of HER pocket & the kids' college funds & how it's THEIR fault this ALL happened & how she's so broke...for sympathy. It will get her nowhere. (sorry for the long post!)

Meagler said...

The twits she twitted yesterday about the contest are still up... they might be hard to find on the Twazzup feed because of all the "stuff" you have to filter thru, but if you go back on just her public feed you will find it all still there....

I am surprised she is twitting with people.

Am I understanding correctly that Jon tweeted today in response to the announcement that he hoped the kids could now get the help they needed?

Moose Mania said...

@Kateplusmy8 in the state of PA, kids can begin to work at the age 16. Maybe they can work for their 1st car.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

What in the name of whatever does she think these kids have been doing since they have been infants?
Are sheeple really this stupid. If so, how do they make their way in the world?

Karma said...

SO I read today that Khate is trying to get a fragrance together, as well as ( HOLD ON FOR THIS ONE ) starting her own PRODUCTION CO!!! WTF, first of all who would want to smell like Khate G. And second if she wants a production Co HOW in the world would it work in PA? It wouldn't so that means she wants to move to LA? Most reality people leave their hometown and go to LA to try to " STAY " in the biz and they are almost always back home in a yr. WHY wont she just go away!??
