Can't these people do anything for themselves? Check the TLC website! Good grief already. You just have to shake your head...

@TLC @Kateplusmy8 when is the Kate Plus 8 update airing again?

Beyond Disgusted said...

I was looking at Kate's TL, and gosh, these teenybopper fans and twenty-something sheeple cry a lot!

I finally watched part 2 this afternoon and I noticed a few things I haven't seen mentioned in the comments here.

IIRC a few months ago there was a discussion about whether they still had the solar panels - they do. I saw them on the garage.

TFW's cake was a flop even before the bird 'accident'. It never rose - the layers were very thin. I noticed that and I'm definitely not a baker.

I noticed a dirty/worn dog cushion propped against the house during a shot of the front porch. Shoka's daytime rest area spot? grrrrr

TFW freaked out about the dangerous the hail storm when she was trying to get the kids to "hurrrrry, hurrrry, the 'freaky' storm is coming again." good grief - get a grip!

The boys walked one at a time up to the counter to get a piece of cake - of course served on paper. Like little soldiers. Only after one had their piece and had turned to leave, did the next one approach. Cake being served at my house was a time for all my kids to gather at the counter until they got a piece (or I sliced/served it at the table), but not at TFW's.

TFW had to dictate exactly how and when they were to sing happy BD to the kids. Apparently they had to repeat it many times because she couldn't keep all the candles lit. Gawd- just let them sing the song and have their cake!!

TLC displayed this tweet:
"Love how you made them wear helmets on the John Deere cart. Safety always." While showing two 10 yr old boys driving the Gator w/one in the back. SMH

One of the screen captions by TLC said at least 50 people attended the party. If they counted the itzaparty employees plus helper friends of the twins there might have been 50, but I sure didn't see anywhere close to that many guests.

Seriously? That photo looks like a long drive into a veteran's cemetery. Sheesh! (and I mean NO disrespect to veterans or cemeteries)

I saw that, too. No K+8 in the top 100. And some of the shows that did make the top 100 got very low numbers--one of them only had 601,000 viewers. So the specials had less than that. Fact is, people can only take so much of Kate--and then they tune out. Even Kate's manic #Joinus tweeting and TLC airing viewers' tweets didn't help.

We were supposed to go to Cape Hatteras for the Fourth of July. We got a call several days ago telling us not to come down there. We're a little bummed about missing our vacation, but praying for the safety of everyone in the path of the hurricane.

Karen, welcome! I am so sorry for your loss. We have a great, supportive bunch here. I hope you decide to stick around.

Is the driveway picture a new one? It seems we've seen that one before.
----------------------------
I thought that too. Tried to find last year's pics on twitter or kateplusmy8.com but couldn't. No more time to look - got to run.

So last night's marathin plus twitter-fest had poor ratings? Say it ain't so! Guess that should send a clear message. Can we dare to hope that she is off TV now for good?
.........................

It wasn't just poor ratings. NONE of the episodes that aired in the "marathon" (9 hours of Gosselin) on TLC yesterday made it into the "top 100 for the day in the age 18-49" category. In other words, show's OVER.

The only TLC program to make it onto that list ("Seven Little Johnstons"--?) aired directly AFTER the 2nd episode of the update special at 10 pm EDT. And TLC has NO Gosselin stuff scheduled at all through the end of this month.

We might finally be seeing the end. I think TLC is her only TV play at this point, and I doubt they're going to put any more money into this cadaver. Granted, she's still got CA in the can, but no date has yet been announced for that--it may never air. And she's already been paid for that, I'm sure.

She's probably still flogging that dating show to anyone who will listen, but the fact is, with all the speculation about (and public displays with) her "bodyguard," I don't think that's going anywhere. She blew that concept all by herself.

I guess she could always go back to blogging. :)

It's beginning to look a lot like The 4th of July...we're busily preparing for our big party here tomorrow! #CantWait pic.twitter.com/rwEgTmt21l

Guess it's her year. Big party? The 9 of them, maybe Deanna. Let's see, we swim in the pool, we barbecue 1/2 hotdog per child and then we all pile onto Mommy's bed to watch more DVR of us. Yawn.

@Kateplusmy8 my son went to dads for the 4th so Im watching u & the kids on netflix so I wont cry.

Dear stuck in Kansas,
Sharing is hard. But surely you must have something better to do than watch this pathetic family on netflix. Crying would be better. So would washing your hair. As many times as it takes.

^^^^^^

Outer Banks was our plan, too. We're staying at home and doing the hamburgers and hot dog thing. Guess I better run out and make a mad dash for driveway flags!

@Kateplusmy8 Wow...some new landscaping isn't there? And those Hostas..I guess that's what they are? look so healthy/gorgeous! #PrettyYard

Yep, Milo. When you're piecin and patchin, you can afford to sink your money into expensive landscaping.

Didn't you know that Kate had work done in her yard? No? She didn't tell you that? Wow...now play the game of 20 questions.

Oh The.Humanity said...

What really struck me watching part two was the fact that she really (REALLY) believes that she is special. So many times she complimented herself & congratulated herself.

#KatePlus8 watching for @Kateplusmy8 and her kids are amazIng she's just love person ♥

Kate's been called many things? But a love person? That's a new one!

Are the sheep discussing the BV situation? Are they checking their mailboxes on a daily basis, waiting for that big settlement check to arrive?

SusanNH said...

Karen, so sad for you and your girls. Stick with the folks that can give you good advice and good care. You will come through the fire. Low vibration things like Kate Gosselin will not mean a thing to you in the future. She has no soul. This will not be easy, but, you will get through this. Your husband will always be looking over you.

Karen...Welcome and condolences on your loss. Stay strong.

Sheeple...Listen up. You need to get this through your head with regard to editing. A producer can't edit what you don't give them! If TCFW isn't acting like a controlling bitch than a producer can't make her look like a controlling bitch. How TCFW is portrayed on TV has nothing to do with editing. TCFW did that all on her own.

Happy 4th everyone!

OrangeCrusher1 said...

No job, piecing and patching, and look, new landscaping for the long, long driveway. She really is special.

NJGal51 said...

Somewhere in Time - Macey is mentally challenged. A lot of what she tweets doesn't make much sense and she tweets many stars. She had disappeared for a while but TFW answered one of her tweets last night so I assume she'll be back with a vengeance.
