TV ratings DO NOT count all viewers. They use a "statistical sample" of households. The important thing is that you know whether you have been chosen or not - you have to agree to have a box installed on your TV set(s) or keep a diary. So if you're not part of the sample, you can watch (or not watch) and it will have no effect on the ratings. If you are part of the sample, you know it, and can have a fair impact on the ratings by watching/not watching.
For more details, see: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question433.htm
The article notes that the "sample families" are supplemented by calling people randomly and asking what they're watching. If you're called by a ratings agency, are watching K's show, and don't want to give her ratings, just lie. I'm usually scrupulously honest, but I feel no obligation whatsoever to the private companies that assemble TV ratings or to the networks like TLC that hire them. It's not like you're under oath.
I thought someone posted here some time ago that re-runs do count in the ratings. Whether or not this is true, networks do look at the number of viewers who watch re-runs. This show will be repeated on Tuesday. Networks are interested to see how much interest there is in that show aired in a different time slot.
&&&&&&&&&&
The numbers that will determine what the ratings are will be counted tonight ... the $64 question is whether or not the numbers from the initial showing and the repeating episode shown two hours later are combined together to come up with the rating.
Since tvbythenumbers.com come up with ratings within 48 hours, anyone who views the episode next week would not be counted.
For the record I set my DVR to record all the J&K+8 this morning because I had read some comments here re this and that which was news to me even though I saw the episode way back when. For instance, I totally missed how Kate belittled Jon while he was cooking the Korean dinner. Anyway I recorded these episode because I knew that even if 10 million people tuned in to watch this morning that TLC would not bring back Jon and Kate ... that boat has already sailed.
Sheeple are funny. I am sure TLC is going to film new episodes of Kate and the kids just for HER! How incredibly dumb are these people?
Siobhan R @SiobhanR111 7m Can u do 2 things for me & all the fans, @TLC ? Start airing new episodes of #KatePlus8 & air the old episodes too! #Please :) @Kateplusmy8
Then there's Sheeple Lauren:
Lauren @ljohnson2006 17m @TLC keeps crappy shows like honey boo boo and 19 kids going but cancelled @Kateplusmy8? It was the most genuine of all. #BringBackKatePlus8
Did she watch the RV episode? It certainly did show Kate's miserable personality coming out. If that's genuine, then I guess Lauren recognizes that Kate is a royal pain in the butt.
What the hell! Her interview with Access Hollywood is BS. I grew up poor and Kate and her family do not live a life where she has to exploit her kids for money. They are not even middle class! How dare her insult struggling families across America! They are rich!!!
Poor people don't live in a 6,000 s.f. house, three semi new cars for one driver, plastic surgeries galore, go get her hair colored in another state, on going luxuries like mani,pedi, and suntans.
Should I have a say what you do to your kids ?? YES! You're not my neighbor down the street who raises her kids any way she wants and doesn't ask anything of me. You are a grifter who keeps asking me to watch your show, buy your books, read your blogs, and send you freebies. So I should be able to express my disgust with your behavior and constant exploitation of those poor sad kids.
But please don't insult are intelligence by suggesting that you are doing all this because you need to support your kids. Bitch!

Most people are not Sherri Shepard and don't believe for a minute that Kate needs to be on tv to put food on the table. She lives a life of luxury and it's so damn insulting to people who are really struggling.
Lets throw tomatoes...and I was worried about coming across too harsh and judgemental on her!...thanks for your genuine thoughts and spontaneous feelings. I have noticed that when someone in any slight way tries to ask her a really legitimate question she gets sooo uptight and defensive..I would really really love to see her be REALLY interviewed with some straight up questions about what is she really trying to prove etc...
Sorry I was typing so fast that I should have said: the Gosselins are rich and our instead of are.
I just get so disgusted with her. She doesn't even know what growing up poor feels like. And she thinks that the fact she has 8 kids makes it alright to be a cry baby. My grandmother had twice as many kids and my mother had almost as many as Kate. And they raised their kids without money, maids, or nannies! They worked in the fields alongside their husbands and all while raising their kids. Oh, and without ever complaining or crying about their hard lives.
Look I would respect Kate more if she would say " we are rich and we have become accustomed to our luxurious life style" .
I still wouldn't like her but at least I would respect her.
You know, I was just thinking about the idiots who think the only way Kate can support her kids is to put them on tv. How can anyone watch this special, with the Richie Rich birthday party, and think, "gee, poor Kate". That party was over-the-top-crazy, and out of touch. Of course the kids love it- it's not even real!
The kids deserved a party, but come on! Spoiled much? "where are we going?"
Who the f*ck ever said that as a child about their birthday?
It got me to thinking about The Farmer's Wife. Juanita put together a birthday party for her daughters for $5. They had a blast. Juanita did all the work for the party and set up games and made a cake. She was not trying to be the center of attention.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 3m @Kateplusmy8 I bet the excitement is getting intense there as it is out here! Really really realizing HOW MUCH we have missed U all! @TLC
Down, Milo. Down, boy! Get your slobberin and droolin wipes ready!
Saying you need tv to support your children is like saying you need to prostitute to support your children. Uh, no you don't. There are many other ways to support children without losing your dignity. And there are more important things than money. Like privacy and self respect.
Should I have a say what you do to your kids ?? YES! You're not my neighbor down the street who raises her kids any way she wants and doesn't ask anything of me.

Addionally, you have it filmed and broadcast it to the world while begging for accolades for your hideous parenting.
JM said…(198) In the clip of her leaving GMA, is that their big van parked behind the limo? ******************* No, the networks use the same black Sprinter van that Kate has to shuttle guests from their hotels to the studio.

Not respect and privacy. There is no way anyone is going to convince her of that...not in a million years.
Lawdy be, just how much did people pay on Kate's behalf (or Kate herself) to get all the twitter bots to go crazy today? I don't remember it being THIS bad for Wife Swap.

Of course, again, today she didn't. Nope. Not one single negative out of filming.
It's utterly nonsensical and defies anyone's logic.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 6m Zorro wants to join us to watch our show tonight.. So he's sticking to Alexis like glue... @TLC #10pmEST #KatePlus8 pic.twitter.com/5r1QSGKE1S
She is out of her mind. She doesn't deserve to have a pet, let alone a parrot. You NEVER do this with a bird. Never. Perching on a shoulder is bad enough, but to put a bird on your back...insane. What in the heck is wrong with her? Then she's stupid enough to tweet a picture of it and thinks that it's cute. I honestly can't believe the bird has lived this long. She cooks with it on her shoulder, and now has it on a child's back. Lord have mercy.
http://www.thewrap.com/kate-gosselin-would-never-throw-a-game-especially-not-against-her-kids-exclusive-video/ ****** Kate has always competed with her kids and revels in beating them. Seriously. Kate takes great pride in beating children who are smaller, weigh less and have not developed as much coordination.
It's fine not to give kids trophies just for showing up, but to beat them? She's just too peculiar for words.
It's called a level playing field, Kate. Play with someone your own size.
This clip and the ensuing couch confessional were truly horrendously horrendous.
And, Cara is still silent.
Oh, watch at the end of the game, after Kate takes Mady out after she claimed she twisted her knee. Kate tries to hug her, after beating her mercilessly, in front of her best friend (ever hear of saving face, Kate?), and Mady's reaction was physically violent, like "get the f*ck off of me".
Wow.
You know what, Kate? When you're old and disabled, I hope your kids show you no mercy. Sorry, Mom, I'm younger and stronger than you! Suck it up, buttercup.
If anyone here has never, ever let their kid win at anything, can you please explain the virtue to me, because "I just don't get it".
Zorro is half way down Alexis's back, with his back against hers. Her shirt is pulled down far and her hair is up, but you just don't do this with a bird!
She is just not going to be happy until that poor bird bites the hell out of one of these kids and injures one of them and they need to go to the ER. There is no way in Hades she would get up off her fat a@@ and take them.
Why would you put your child at risk like that? Why?
Oh, the words from kate's dentures on the side bar of the circus photos are so sugary sweet that it is sickening. I was actually getting a knot in my stomach.
Okay was trying to figure out how to post on an iPad. I have missed you all! Hope everyone is doing okay!
When watching the access video clip, please listen carefully after she says she would never have done the comeback show had she asked the kids and they had said no.... And then she says " I never asked them"!
I am going to go back and watch and will find the time on the clip!
Lawdy be, just how much did people pay on Kate's behalf (or Kate herself) to get all the twitter bots to go crazy today? I don't remember it being THIS bad for Wife Swap.
___________
I just want to know where all of these "fans" were when it came time to keeping the Kate show afloat! All of a sudden, Kate is the most wonderful human being on the planet, and her show is so greatly missed that it has sent these fans into a tweeting frenzy, celebrating the glory of it coming back.Hallelujah and praise be.
If she had this much support, and so many fans and viewers, then it never would have been cancelled.
Saying you need tv to support your children is like saying you need to prostitute to support your children. Uh, no you don't. -----------------------
Well, that's her "schtick". Eonline posted more of an interview done with her today, and she actually says:
"Hear me very clearly," the star of the TLC special Kate Plus 8: Sextuples Turn 10 said in an interview with E! News this week. "If there was another way to singly support eight children, you would not know this name and I would be on an island, and so would they. You would never hear from us again."
The rest of the interview is just the same old, same old BS she's been spouting for years. Of course, she reiterates that she considers TV her work, but the kids just run in and out of the frame.
Per ROL Kate believes that the special tonight will be "ratings gold" and even though I hate to admit it Kate may be right, she has enough haters who might tune in "just because"
====
"Just because" she said that, I won't be watching. I'll wait for Admin's recap which I KNOW I'll enjoy.
Oh, just saw a couple of minutes of HBB. They went somewhere so the girls could experience snow. They were snow tubing down the hill and I noticed HBB was by herself on her own tube. Flying down a very rocky and bumpy slope, about 40, 50 mph? With NO HELMET!
Hats off to TLC for no safety rules! No helmets here, No life jackets for the 8, 25 miles out in the sea out there, No safety work boots, work gloves for the Duggar girls when tornadoes strike!
Also, they captioned 99% of everything they said. Then they showed June talking and on the side bar it said, Mama June, 33.
33? WHOA! I thought she was older than that. She is only 6 years younger than kate. Also a lot of rags and mags are saying she is 37 or 38 years old. She is 39.
Okay, I did have a bother lookie.... It is at about 2:53 on the access Hollywood video, and I'll be fair, you could take the comment two ways.
As for the foot -ball tag game... Yes kate, I agree don't "let" your kids win, they hate it when you do that, but maybe turn your level of competitiveness down a notch or two.
Tonight will just confirm what we all already knew. And no kate it isn't the editing!
I think Barb is just being downright rude at this point. As much as we can't stand that the kids are back on TV this really is a special night for the family and Barb is rude to try and interrupt their fun with her drama. It's not like Kate is her sister or something. I wish her father the best but she appears to be using the situation to get attention from Kate and I don't like that.
She would be a hell of a lot more credible if she just said look like many decisions in life there are good and bad things about filming but we have waived the bad versus the good and decided this is the right decision for family. It may not be the right decision for every family I acknowledge that.
This whole nope it's awesome a hundred percent of the time is simply unbelievable. Any other celebrity will freely admit that there are downsides to being on camera all the time.
I'll go ahead and say that I won't be watching. In fact, to this day, I still haven't seen the K&8 final show. Just don't care to watch this entitled family any longer.
And does she seriously expect she's going to be supporting her family via the media until her kids leave home? Yeah, good luck with that, Katie Irene.
But here's the thing. If you need to support your kids, then you sell the big house, two of the three cars, and you live within your means. She can do it. Others do. They don't NEED those things.
"Hear me very clearly," the star of the TLC special Kate Plus 8: Sextuples Turn 10 said in an interview with E! News this week. "If there was another way to singly support eight children, you would not know this name and I would be on an island, and so would they. You would never hear from us again."
=========
So what she essentially is saying that she's using her kids -- exploiting them -- so they can live the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. She's USING them, for gosh sakes. She's WORKING them. How sick is that? How sick is it for her to actually admit it? If she really is piecing and patching, then what is preventing her from taking Jon back to court and requesting child support? Something just doesn't add up there. I just wonder how the children feel, knowing that they are working to support themselves. What a burden to put on their young shoulders.
How is it that other families with many kids are able to support them without putting them on television? There must be a way. Kate's resourceful. She's just too darn lazy.
Lukebandit I couldn't get the link you posted to work, so please forgive me if this is the same one.
From eonline! The interview has lots of fast cuts (was it too hard to get coherent sound bites from Kate?), but the entire interview is nonsense and Kate's anger is no longer just simmering below the surface- it's bubbling out full on.
Ps. In all the pics and clips we've seen, it doesn't look to me like there are very many guests at this carnival. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, she says they had it in the front yard? Wtf! Was the backyard too big or just too private?

She is out of her mind. She doesn't deserve to have a pet, let alone a parrot. You NEVER do this with a bird. Never. Perching on a shoulder is bad enough, but to put a bird on your back...insane. What in the heck is wrong with her? Then she's stupid enough to tweet a picture of it and thinks that it's cute. I honestly can't believe the bird has lived this long. She cooks with it on her shoulder, and now has it on a child's back. Lord have mercy.
ROFLMAO..bwahahahaha

My goodness! Each clip I see here gets worse and worse. There is some definite 'hate' & rivalry between Kate and Mady. Kate better watch her back.

Kate has always competed with her kids and revels in beating them.
Seriously.
Kate takes great pride in beating children who are smaller, weigh less and have not developed as much coordination.
It's fine not to give kids trophies just for showing up, but to beat them?
She's just too peculiar for words.
It's called a level playing field, Kate.
Play with someone your own size.
This clip and the ensuing couch confessional were truly horrendously horrendous.
And, Cara is still silent.
Oh, watch at the end of the game, after Kate takes Mady out after she claimed she twisted her knee.
Kate tries to hug her, after beating her mercilessly, in front of her best friend (ever hear of saving face, Kate?), and Mady's reaction was physically violent, like "get the f*ck off of me".
Wow.
You know what, Kate?
When you're old and disabled, I hope your kids show you no mercy.
Sorry, Mom, I'm younger and stronger than you!
Suck it up, buttercup.
If anyone here has never, ever let their kid win at anything, can you please explain the virtue to me, because "I just don't get it".
Zorro is half way down Alexis's back, with his back against hers. Her shirt is pulled down far and her hair is up, but you just don't do this with a bird!
She is just not going to be happy until that poor bird bites the hell out of one of these kids and injures one of them and they need to go to the ER. There is no way in Hades she would get up off her fat a@@ and take them.
Why would you put your child at risk like that? Why?
Oh, the words from kate's dentures on the side bar of the circus photos are so sugary sweet that it is sickening. I was actually getting a knot in my stomach.

Okay, Kate. This is your cue to ask how he is...
Barbara Gilmer @BarbGilmer 2m
Heck @Kateplusmy8 I'm just NOW sitting down to eat...been at the hospital seeing my dad!!
Okay was trying to figure out how to post on an iPad. I have missed you all! Hope everyone is doing okay!
When watching the access video clip, please listen carefully after she says she would never have done the comeback show had she asked the kids and they had said no.... And then she says " I never asked them"!
I am going to go back and watch and will find the time on the clip!
Lawdy be, just how much did people pay on Kate's behalf (or Kate herself) to get all the twitter bots to go crazy today? I don't remember it being THIS bad for Wife Swap.
___________
I just want to know where all of these "fans" were when it came time to keeping the Kate show afloat! All of a sudden, Kate is the most wonderful human being on the planet, and her show is so greatly missed that it has sent these fans into a tweeting frenzy, celebrating the glory of it coming back.Hallelujah and praise be.
If she had this much support, and so many fans and viewers, then it never would have been cancelled.
Saying you need tv to support your children is like saying you need to prostitute to support your children. Uh, no you don't.
-----------------------
Well, that's her "schtick". Eonline posted more of an interview done with her today, and she actually says:
"Hear me very clearly," the star of the TLC special Kate Plus 8: Sextuples Turn 10 said in an interview with E! News this week. "If there was another way to singly support eight children, you would not know this name and I would be on an island, and so would they. You would never hear from us again."
http://www.eonline.com/news/552830/kate-gosselin-if-i-didn-t-need-to-support-my-family-you-d-never-hear-from-us-again?
The rest of the interview is just the same old, same old BS she's been spouting for years. Of course, she reiterates that she considers TV her work, but the kids just run in and out of the frame.
What the hell? She does realize that there are other families with eight children out there who support them just fine without television right?
Per ROL Kate believes that the special tonight will be "ratings gold" and even though I hate to admit it Kate may be right, she has enough haters who might tune in "just because"
====
"Just because" she said that, I won't be watching. I'll wait for Admin's recap which I KNOW I'll enjoy.
Oh, just saw a couple of minutes of HBB. They went somewhere so the girls could experience snow. They were snow tubing down the hill and I noticed HBB was by herself on her own tube. Flying down a very rocky and bumpy slope, about 40, 50 mph? With NO HELMET!
Hats off to TLC for no safety rules! No helmets here, No life jackets for the 8, 25 miles out in the sea out there, No safety work boots, work gloves for the Duggar girls when tornadoes strike!
Also, they captioned 99% of everything they said. Then they showed June talking and on the side bar it said, Mama June, 33.
33? WHOA! I thought she was older than that. She is only 6 years younger than kate. Also a lot of rags and mags are saying she is 37 or 38 years old. She is 39.
Okay, I did have a bother lookie.... It is at about 2:53 on the access Hollywood video, and I'll be fair, you could take the comment two ways.
As for the foot -ball tag game... Yes kate, I agree don't "let" your kids win, they hate it when you do that, but maybe turn your level of competitiveness down a notch or two.
Tonight will just confirm what we all already knew. And no kate it isn't the editing!
The middle row of my keyboard is not working as of yesterday. I'm not writing a recap on an iPad. F that. Headed to the Genius Bar tomorrow!
Okay, don't know why the 2 is behind my name... I am still the first and only meagler on here I think...lol..
I think Barb is just being downright rude at this point. As much as we can't stand that the kids are back on TV this really is a special night for the family and Barb is rude to try and interrupt their fun with her drama. It's not like Kate is her sister or something. I wish her father the best but she appears to be using the situation to get attention from Kate and I don't like that.
She would be a hell of a lot more credible if she just said look like many decisions in life there are good and bad things about filming but we have waived the bad versus the good and decided this is the right decision for family. It may not be the right decision for every family I acknowledge that.
This whole nope it's awesome a hundred percent of the time is simply unbelievable. Any other celebrity will freely admit that there are downsides to being on camera all the time.
I'll go ahead and say that I won't be watching. In fact, to this day, I still haven't seen the K&8 final show. Just don't care to watch this entitled family any longer.
And does she seriously expect she's going to be supporting her family via the media until her kids leave home? Yeah, good luck with that, Katie Irene.
Why was Kate even in that dodgeball game to begin with?
Hate away?
Honey, that ship sailed a looooooong time ago.

Fine. I'll still wait.
Fuck you Kate Gosselin. lol!
But here's the thing. If you need to support your kids, then you sell the big house, two of the three cars, and you live within your means. She can do it. Others do. They don't NEED those things.
&&&&
Yes yes yes.
Shall we take bets now on how many times Kate will use the word "edit" or "editing" during her tweet party?
"Hear me very clearly," the star of the TLC special Kate Plus 8: Sextuples Turn 10 said in an interview with E! News this week. "If there was another way to singly support eight children, you would not know this name and I would be on an island, and so would they. You would never hear from us again."
=========
So what she essentially is saying that she's using her kids -- exploiting them -- so they can live the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. She's USING them, for gosh sakes. She's WORKING them. How sick is that? How sick is it for her to actually admit it? If she really is piecing and patching, then what is preventing her from taking Jon back to court and requesting child support? Something just doesn't add up there. I just wonder how the children feel, knowing that they are working to support themselves. What a burden to put on their young shoulders.
How is it that other families with many kids are able to support them without putting them on television? There must be a way. Kate's resourceful. She's just too darn lazy.
Lukebandit I couldn't get the link you posted to work, so please forgive me if this is the same one.
From eonline! The interview has lots of fast cuts (was it too hard to get coherent sound bites from Kate?), but the entire interview is nonsense and Kate's anger is no longer just simmering below the surface- it's bubbling out full on.

Ps. In all the pics and clips we've seen, it doesn't look to me like there are very many guests at this carnival. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, she says they had it in the front yard? Wtf! Was the backyard too big or just too private?
http://ca.eonline.com/videos/223179/kate-gosselin-on-raising-8-children-solo
Kate's almost in tears with this interview. Poor, pitiful Kate. She makes it sound as if the kids are all ganging up on her.
