Perhaps the People staff are busy preparing the mega "Kate+8 Returns to Regular Series on TLC" issue.

Bwahahaha.

AuntieAnn said...

But actually watching it, she comes across as sympathetic and (HA!) sincere. Once it became a series, there is not one--not a single episode--where Kate DOESN'T do something questionable, scary, mean, over the line/top etc. Not one.

====

It's very telling to go back and watch Surviving Sextuplets and Twins. Now that we know the back story, you can clearly see how calculating and duplicitous she was right out of the gate. She acted like the cool, roll-with-the-punches mother, when in reality she was off her nut and an experienced grifter. She had it planned all along to get as much as she could out of Figure 8/TLC. All she talked about was how much they needed, how much they wanted and the burdensome cost of raising the brood.

I doubt if even she knew how far they would go with her, but once the ball started rolling she wasn't going to turn back. She had the keys to the vault and she was emptying it.

Flimsy loan me back that dunce cap, please. After all these years I still feel like an idiot for getting sucked in by her story.

FYI said...

On the Kate plus 8 FB page, they posted the following accompanied by a picture:

"It's spring break in the Gosselin house, and Kate has some tricks up her sleeve to keep the kids entertained!"

The picture was obviously not taken during spring break, because the kids are outside wearing short sleeves or sleeveless tops. So it looks like they're going to portray spring break as happening later than it actually did. Here's the picture:

SuzyQ said...

Worst episode besides gum gate and cupcake gate was, in my opinion, coupon gate.
Kate sealed the deal for me disliking her when she railed into Jon for the horror of not using a "COO-PAWN" and stomped around the house ranting / making a complete ass of herself.
Anyone that is willing to treat their spouse like that in front of millions of potential television viewers is just an asshole, plain and simple.

I think it's a little odd about the book not being available for pre-release etc.

*************************
Maybe a dumb question...
So Penn. does NOT have anti SLAPP laws? Do lawyers take cases in states where there ARE these laws in place? Also, has this BV idiot filed claims IN states where these laws exist? What happens if you do make a SLAPP suit, why does it go so far, aren't you breaking the law? How can you prove that it was frivolous? In tfw's delusional demented mind, SHE feels she's right.
&&&&&&&&&&&

The two suits BV has filed in CA and TX, those two states both have very stiff anti-SLAPP laws. Meaning if you file the suit in hopes to scare the person you're suing, then nonsuit if they respond, it doesn't matter. The defendant can carry on in order to seek payment of their attorneys fees and the plaintiff could be punished by the court with sanctions. The judge in the BV TX case is supposed to rule on sanctions on Friday.

He must have been 100% confident that no one would respond to his suits in order to risk filing these in two anti-SLAPP states.

I looked up PA, they don't seem to have any anti-SLAPP laws except for something about enviromental causes. For ex. if you blog about how the marcellus shale fracking companies are ruining your town and causing pollution, if the shale company tries to SLAPP you, you will have some extra protection in the courts.

How do they prove it was frivolous? When plaintiff files the case knowing they have no way to prove their allegations. A big, wild finger pointing story is not proof.

Just like there is no way to convice the sheeple there was no "settlement," remember how there was no way to make them understand that Jon wouldn't be going to jail from this case?! That this was not a criminal case? Hahahaha, they kept talking about the DA taking the case and Jon and Robert getting 30 years in prison. In fact, when the suit was dropped, one said Jon should thank Shawn for keeping him out of prison. smh.

Checked really well over at Barnes and Noble, in new releases June 23, nothing.

OrangeCrusher1 said...

"And please don't tell me Kate's one last "surprise" is her crashing the party in that stupid clown get-up. Say it isn't so."

She is just enough of a narcissistic tease for this to be exactly what she has planned. Of course the 'surprise' would be about her. Isn't everything?

FYI said...

Forget what I said earlier about People Mag. They have an article on the special with pictures and a video of them "planning the party". Seems the kid weren't so thrilled about it. You can see Kate's full clown get up, too.

I checked out Wikipedia's episode guide for the show and realized the tummy tuck episode was aired in January, 2007, so obviously, it took place in 2006.

Basically, it was the second time they were on the air. That was when I realized there was something off about her. She's offered a free tummy-tuck by someone who saw the first special and felt sorry for her. And then she has the BALLS to ask for a boob job? Who does that? That was beyond rude. That was when I was finished with her and things just went downhill from then on. I must have been one of the first to refuse to buy what she was selling.

Commenting on the pic of the children.
They look soooo happy. How many of us looked forward to riding around in a vehicle with our sibs. Not me. I wanted to do something the sibs didn't want to do. No way, all 8 of the children screamed with joy that they got ride in a vehicle while Mady drove. Just another staged pic for the camera.

FYI said...

In the video clip, Hannah, Alexis and Leah are on the couch, and Hannah says "Usually when Mommy makes big parties at the end she's like 'ooh, I'm so tired, I don't want to do any of this.'

Later in the clip, Mady, Kate and Cara are on the couch, and Cara is sitting there picking on her sweater, looking like she wishes she were somewhere else-similar to how she was on the Today show.

______________________

It is possible that Robert will be offering the book for sale, initially, only from his website using PayPal. That way, he will not be risking Amazon or other sellers pulling it because of threat of legal action. If TFW doesn't sue him right off the bat, and TLC doesn't allege intellectual property violations, then it might be clear sailing for him to get Amazon to accept it again.

FYI said...

Quote from the People article:

"Dressed as a clown for her kids' big day, Gosselin threw a carnival-themed bash for the youngest in her very busy brood: Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis and Hannah".

Shouldn't that read "TLC threw"?

Also, in the clip, when Kate is discussing her "master plan" for the party, you can hear some of the kids saying "So we are we going?". Guess they expected a trip, and all they got was the party.

PatK said...

That pic of the kids in the "tractor" could have been from filming over Memorial Day weekend. (Wasn't that when Kate was filmed in the bakery/coffee shop?)

Kylie said...

This show is going to be pathetic. The commercial where Mady tells Kate this is a stupid idea for the party and anyway it's not my party, is just so telling. The younger kids are not interested in the circus theme at all and are not shy to let her know. The look on Aadens face when she was telling them what the party would be like was priceless and sad at the same time. He seemed excited right up to the moment when she said circus and then he just crumbled. And at the very end, did you SEE Cara tearing at her shirt? Kate was between M and C and she had her eyes down, not saying a word, and she was pulling the fabric of her sleeve in what looked like she was trying to tear it. I feel so badly that these children have been treated like circus animals their whole lives and you can see they are just sick and tired of it. Kate needs those kids stripped from her ASAP.

foxy said...

In the People clip, the bird is on her shoulder in the kitchen of course. He is also walking around on the counter eating out of some kind of bowl hanging up by the bananas. The older girls are eating at the kitchen island and the little kids are at the table eating. Nothing like a divided family, Of course the boys had nothing to say.

I'm trying to remember what the weather was like here that week. I think that it snowed, or we had flurries and ice storms.Temperatures were in the mid 40s for the highs and dropped down into the low 30s at night. It definitely wasn't warm enough for bare legs and sleeveless tops. The grass in that photo is green. Our grass looked nothing like that in early March. It was still brown.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

I see there's a video clip in the People article and the description
is: "Check out this sneak-peek video of Gosselin doing her best
to get the kids on board with her plan:"

My question is: why was it HER plan? In the article, she says, "All
9 of us came together - dreamed together, planned together, set up
together..." But as we suspected, that carnival was not what these
10 year olds wanted, it was TFW wanted. Or, just as likely, what
TLC wanted. So even on their super-special, once-in-a-lifetime
day, it's not about them.

It's possible that RH's book will be uploaded to Smashwords, which can but doesn't always include distribution agreements with online booksellers such as Amazon and B&N.

______________________

I'm guessing maybe that's her big surprise. A trip somewhere (TLC financed, of course). But it will be somewhere mediocre like a beach (which would be great for the kids as long as they don't get the crap filmed out of them, and as long as a fun nanny is along). TLC won't be ponying up for anything extravagant, that's for sure.

==============

According to Kate there was still snow on the ground.

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · Mar 6
It's officially spring break here&even tho there's deep snow still on the ground, we have some major sleep-ins&fun stuff planned! #Excited

She also tweeted on Mar. 18 that spring break was over, so I doubt the snow melted and the grass suddenly turned green.

I'm sure most of the filming took place Memorial Day weekend.

#SuperFunHolidayWeekend

PatK said...

When Kate was telling them about the superfuncarnivaltheme, did everyone hear one of the kids shout "Where are we going???"

Did this mean they assumed their birthday bash would take place far away as part of a birthday trip? Yes, kids...you got screwed again.

Rhymes with Witch said...

I'm not surprised about the story in People, but I'm glad it's not the cover story.
Filming with no trip might just be the last straw for the kids, even though tfw has other ideas.

PA Dutch Mom said...

Okay, I was curious. I went back and looked at the weather history for spring break. On Thursday of that week, the high was 30; low was 18. Average temps for that week were 41 and 32. There is no way those kids would have been outside in that weather without jackets, if TLC is trying to make us believe that this was filmed on spring break.

FYI said...

I wonder if they have a dunking tank at the party. If they do, I'd watch just to see Kate getting dunked, but I doubt she would be in it. Most likely that job would be handed off to Jamie or Deanna.

PA Dutch Mom said...

And just how stupid does TLC think we are that we can't see through this "fake" spring break thing? Do they believe that no locals know what the weather was like at that time, and they can just slip that past us? I guess they never bothered to check Kate's tweets about the snow on the ground.

lukebandit said...

Brilliant deduction Call Me Crazy. That sounds like a great plan for Robert. He may have it planned that way.

I tried to look at the picture of the cart that Mady is driving but the link doesn't work.

That picture of kate in that striped clown suit and weee-ig! Oh, my she looks like she is on that show, not Wipe Out but the Japanese show, I can't think of the name! That is SOOOO embarrassing for the small kids and even more embarrassing for Mady and Cara! Did you see kate look up to Heaven and clasp her hands and pray really cute to the Lord about it working out? How many times did she do that for grifting through out the years!

So VERY telling when Mady said it was stupid that she was not having Anything to do with it! Well, a second right before Mady started talking, kate had shoved a big chip in her mouth and when Mady had her hand up (almost in her face) saying she wasn't having anything to do with it, kate, stunned and shocked at the defiance, quickly shoved it in further to get it down so she could say something. When Mady was finishing, all kate could do is look at the producer and just shrug her shoulders. And kate didn't say a thing. kate got Schooled!

She looked tired, defeated. Wow. And this is very mild compared to a few months and into the 15's and 16's. Can you imagine kate telling Mady and Cara that they have to get a job and buy their own cars and she won't take them back and forth till they do, even though she has 3 vehicles sitting on the property.

I was taken aback at how easy kate's presentation was trying to convince the tups about the birthday party plans. Leah said, Why can't we just rollerblade? kate looks defeated, tired, looks like she hasn't had much rest because of the stress of the book coming out and all of the mess finally falling around down her and it is only going to get worse.

PA Dutch Mom said...

My question is: why was it HER plan? In the article, she says, "All

&&&&&&&&

I seriously doubt that Kate and the kids got together and dreamed up that party. More like TLC hired party planners. All Kate did was dress up in that ridiculous costume, pose for the cameras, and look like the Shrek Donkey once again, only as a clown donkey this time.

MiChi said...

Just watched the new promo. Why, oh why, did I? Now I'm angry. Things of note:

1) NONE of the sextuplets liked the idea. The looks on their faces (and their objections) said it all. No "shrieks" or "chirping."
2) Each sextuplet had a reaction (though Joel's was mild) EXCEPT for Collin. None. Blank face.
3) Leah, one of the two faves, later approaches Kate and says, "I don't mind, but the rest..." Kate focuses on the "I don't mind" part that one of her chosen ones has said.
4) When Mady is all, "I don't care," Kate is looking off to someone in exasperation, like she always does. Who? Producer or Steve?
5) This part bothered me most: AFTER they showed Mady's reaction to the party, Kate explains in the voiceover that the six always follow the twins' example and that's why they weren't excited. Duh--it's all Mady's fault that the kids didn't like the carnival idea!!!

Of course it's a carnival so that they can compare the last birthday party TLC ever throws them with the first one they ever threw. It's lazy writing by production. Nevertheless, the ideas of production come before the wants of children. Priorities.

One last thing--Kate mentions that it would be hard to get all six to agree on one party idea. That is the closest she's ever come to admitting they are six individuals and not one entity. If this party was really for them and not for TV, she easily could have taken ideas and had them vote. I bet Leah wasn't the only one who would have agreed to rollerblading. I went to a lot of skating parties at that age. But that's too average, too hard to film, and imagine the liability. So a carnival it is!

I admit I was planning on watching the special to check on the kids--sincerely check on the kids and look for things like Collin's face in this promo, but I am so heated after watching two minutes that I'm not sure I can handle two hours.

lukebandit said...

Watch on the Korean dinner about Jon specifically telling kate that he had to have the 2 vegetables cut (chives and onions or leeks) and ready and they had be in separate dishes, because he was going to use them at different times during the cooking. kate did it but mixed them up together. Wow. Jon was so furious. She did it on purpose, because he was rocking cooking the dinner and she could not stand it.

Jon should of then just went and got someone in charge and told them, get her out of here, make something up, take her shopping, get her out of here and bring her back later on tonight. When she leaves we will continue taping. I am going to finish this supper for my kids in peace and quiet.

Give me your cell phone number and I will call you when they are in the bed, then you can bring her back. If you don't do this, I will load up all of the kids and leave for the night.

kate did the same thing to her daughters when they tried to cook something. She on purposely set them up to fail. She sabotaged it.

Layla said...

I agree with MiChi (182), the scene where she tells the crew to "Stop playing 'we're filming a TV show' and get some real work done'" really irritated me. They were doing their jobs--you know, real work, but she thinks unless they are doing manual labor for her, they're just playing. It was exactly like the toy store scene where she yells at Jon to "stop playing with toys and come over here". "Stop playing" to both Jon and the crew. Once Jon was gone and she couldn't order him around and make him do all the work for her, she decided that the crew needed to step in and fill his shoes. He did all the work taking care of the kids while she barked orders. Interesting how, with him gone, the crew became "crew daddies", playing with the kids, reading to them. Doing all the real work, just like Jon used to do.

I think the folks at TLC were really ticked off to see actual footage of how badly she treated their employees, and deliberately left that scene in to show how nasty she was to the crew. The scene where she snipes to Jamie, "Oh, the life of a princess" was very telling, too. She was furious that TLC was not treating her like a princess and sending her on some luxury vacation to an exotic destination. Being stuffed into RVs to drive round America was not what she had in mind.

Oh, yes, the entire RV debacle was a big FU to Kate. Showing her fits, her tantrums, her sniping to her friends about what size she is, her tizzies about every little thing. They very deliberately showed us the real Kate.

Jeanne said...

I don't know what Kate's worst moment is. There are so many. I know someone who volunteered there during the first year. She is a good person who won't give me the details because she doesn't want to talk badly about someone else but she will say it was awful. After the first year, there was the article about Kate going to court to extend the Medicaid nurse because the public owed her the support for letting her have six kids at once. I think then the volunteers mostly stopped. She may have had one or two church members and Aunt Jodi. But the rest were paid help and of course she couldn't trust them to use common sense and left notes everywhere.

For me, Kate has such a fundamental disconnect about what children are. You can't use reason and logic with a 2 year old. (Sometimes not even with a 10 year old.) Of course 3 year olds don't pee their pants on purpose to piss you off. They pee their pants because they are young children. At first, potty training is about training the parent to notice signs, to take them to the potty frequently, to encourage them. It takes time and attention. Even as they get older you still keep asking them before you leave the house or if they do the ppotty dance at Target. Yes it's a pain. You do it because it's part of being a parent.

Kate is part of the group that thinks you can reason with a tiny child. I heard a woman at Target ask a toddler why she ran into the street. A 2 yr old doesn't have a why for that. You just say no. You use discussion for less important stuff like what dessert to eat. Kate seemed to think if she told them they needed to be trained they would understand and do it and any failures were defiance.

Children are children. Their bodies and brains are not developed. A loving mother understands that. She gives them love, teaching, and appropriate discipline. Kate has never loved any of her children IMO. She treats some better than others but loves none of them. That is her worst moment and it is repeated in every episode.

jennine s said...

I watched the You tube videos that were highlighted. IMO, Kate is a very unhappy,controlling woman who does not enjoy life, unless the attention is on her. She is a real Ba-- Buster, and I don't know how Jon put up with her for one minute. She should never had, had children. Poor kids.

Blank face. 30

That poor child is probably suffering from some form of PTSD. I believe that he is terrified of his mother and does his best to fly under the radar to avoid her wrath.
He NEEDS his Dad.

Rhymes with Witch said...

I just heard a line from the psychiatrist on SVU:
"What you get when you cross a narcissist with a sociopath is a ticking time bomb."

(yes sheeple, I realize it was scripted).

T said...

Here's a direct quote of Kate's (from the people magazine article) that is proof positive that it's always been about her:

"My dream was to reinvent our carnival theme from their 3rd birthday party," she says

Also of note: when Kate claims that Mady is a great big sister, Mady replies that she isn't, and all she does is stay in bed all day; simultaneously , Cara says under her breath that all Mady does is threatening the little kids.

Looks like TLC isn't going to be helping Kate do her usual spin, and the kids basically contradict everything Kate says, leaving no doubt that Kate is indeed a liar.

Ps. On the Facebook video, the clapboard clearly says take three and take four. So much for the realist reality show, and Kate's claims that there are no retakes.

Serendipity said...

------------

Then there's the million dollar question. Why are the sheeple so enamored with her? Why is she, in their eyes, the perfect mother? What is it about the sheeple mind that they just can't see this, but we, as a collective group, are able to point to scenes in the shows, and take it a step further, logically pointing out the disconnect she has with these children; the illogical things she pulls; her lies and deceptions; the way she treats not only her children, but other people, with her abusive, nasty behavior?

Why is she Milo's queen? How could anyone possibly look up to someone like that and consider her a role model? The psychology of the fans is so intriguing.

----------

And led her out kicking and screaming? I don't think so. Kate thought the show was all about her, the center of attention. He was getting it and she didn't like it. Do you really think that anyone could have taken her out of the situation without using handcuffs? Never would have happened.

Layla said...

I watched the People clip, and WOW! Not one of those kids want to do that stupid carnival thing, they are all very vocal about it, and she doesn't care. And they actually show Mady trashing the tups for their "bad hair"? Since when is it a positive thing to bash 10-year-olds on TV? She and Cara both trashed the Tups in People, and Mady trashed them on The View and the Today show. Sheeple claim that the non-fans bash the kids. Looks to me like the tups are being trashed pretty much non-stop in their own home. How does that make them feel? And does Kate step in to stop Mady? No, she allows it to continue. For someone who whines so much about bullying, Kate is awfully tolerant of bullying in her house.

Poor Collin shows no reactions at all. And when is the last time Cara actually spoke on-camera? In all the clips of the special shown so far, she has nothing to say. She didn't speak at all on the Today show, didn't say much (if anything) on The View, was silent on Katie Couric. I don't think she spoke a single word on CWS. At the end of K+8 I remember her lying down on the interview couch with her back to the camera while Mady talked. That girl does NOT want to be on TV.

Who sets their child up to be ridiculed??? Who does that???? What kid deserves that????? What a terrible mom.

Lalalalala said...

When I clicked on the pictures from the People Mag story it took me to the TLC webpage. If you click on the blue Kate Plus 8 Special (or something like that) that have a memorable clips section from past shows. Holy Moly! TLC is not being kind to Kate!

Curious: In the freeze-frame of this promotional video, does TFW's knob-shaped chin appear to be an implant? . . .

Because it IS. It has long been speculated that a chin implant was yet another procedure she had done. Unfortunately for her, as she's lost so much weight the implant has begun to protrude and is now very obvious.

Amy2 said...

Interesting that Kate picked a circus theme. Especially since that's what the children's lives have been.....one big circus with a ringmaster directing everything.

Katykat said...

OMG...Cara. Just pulling her sweater, playing with it... :( Those poor kids are already showing signs of being messed up. My heart just aches for them.

I haven't looked at the People article/video but, from the comments above, I'm beginning to think TLC is actually promoting Robert's book.

Wouldn't it be great if Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin were in some of the older episodes that are airing on Thursday? My memory isn't good enough to remember if they're in them, but some of you might. ?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

So the kids didn't like the carnival idea after all huh. JUST like what we said. They're too flipping old for this. We called it.

Geez how f-ing fun, a birthday theme you don't like.

FYI said...

In the beginning of clip when Kate is saying "I was thinking we could have a grown-up, lifesized...." keep an eye on Aaden. He's vigorously shaking his head "yes" until she says "carnival". His face just says it all. It was a "huh?" moment because apparently that was the last thing he was expecting.

I wonder if Kate is going to claim that she slaved away in the kitchen baking that cake.

chefsummer #Leh said...

What in God name is wrong with Kate's forehead????

Let's for get for a second that she looks like a jack-a$$ in that clown get up and that she forcing the kids to do a this part idea.

What is up with her forehead?

It would be extremely rare to be able to comfortably wear shorts and tshirts in PA in early march. You might have a "heat" wave that early once every two years. More often than not you can expect several more snowfalls in March, rain and cold, cold weather. I hate how they lie to suit the story.

FYI said...

In the article, Kate says "My dream was to reinvent our carnival theme from their 3rd birthday party".

It always what she wants, not what the kids want, and that video proves it.

chefsummer #Leh said...

None of the kids wanted that party god she is a freak. And why is she sitting on the sofa with M&C so she can't control what they say to the camera?

All the old episodes with Jon in them they're showing really is sweet justice. She wants to swiffer him from their lives but TLC makes that difficult.
%%%%%%

That has to rankle her that the marathon is JOHN and Kate plus 8 instead of Kate plus 8

Berks Neighbor said...

If you look at one of the promotional videos (I think the one on the facebook page) You will see that in the van and while they are shopping (where one of the girl tups says she doesn't want TFW to be a clown) they are in winter gear and through the windows of the van you can definitely see snow on the ground. However, later on for the party TFW is wearing her strapless sundress and the kids are in shorts. SOOOO very inconsistent.

LaLaLandNoMore said...

In my humble opinion, Kate is not a nice person in any form of the description. Seen too many early programs to feel any differently. Will not watch new special, or old programs. It is just too bad that Jon cannot rescue his eight children. Time will show everyone the damage done to these children. Their very birth was planned around the money they could make. Sad, but I believe that is the reality of the situation. No one has convinced me any differently, nor have they tried. Most see it like it is and for what it is. Kids financially supporting parents and really messed up at that.

Mojave Denizen said...

Who wants to bet Cake Boss does an episode where they build a huge carnival themed birthday cake? That would be my guess. It is pretty overwhelming!

Somewhere In Time said...

They are re-running the Tracie Thoms Catfish show right now. Wow. Some very insightful stuff there. Some of those communications to her from the obsessed fan sound exactly like what Gladys sends to Kate. Scary stuff there...the love, the adulation, and Tracie says what is really frightening is what the fan might be capable of.

Ezactly, admin. Trust me -- there was no heat wave in early March. I remember joking that if the weather kept up, we'd be hiding Easter eggs in snow drifts. Sheeple will say, who cares when it was filmed. Who cares? People who hate being lied to...that's who cares. Why not just be honest about it? They're going to get found out. If they're going to be deceitful about this, then what else is a lie?

"My dream was to reinvent our carnival theme from their 3rd birthday party," she says

Sounds exactly like something she would do. She lives in the past, in her glory days, desperately trying to bring back the time when the kids were toddlers. It's really sick.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

She should throw herself her own clown party if that's what she wants. Auntie Anne will juggle, Dwindle will help organize the pie eating contest. I'll be in charge of the dunking booth. She'll have a ball. But for heaven sake let the children have a theme they actually like. Why not at least do one theme for boys one for girls? They don't all have to have the same theme, they can afford it.

I wonder where that sheeple drive by is who snapped and ranted on and on about how we have no right to say the children won't like this carnival thing. Damn we were right again. Oh snap lol!

Paper Plates Forever! Yay! said...

Katie Coyne, proverbial toady, do you honestly think that people believe Kate was the mastermind behind that big carnival? How stupid do you think people are? That she planned this big event and paid for all the costs that went along with it? When oh when is it going to end I ask. Give the public some credit for once. It's like when someone receives an inheritence from a parent and they buy a new BMW but they want you to believe they bought it themselves instead of showing gratitude and saying they were able to buy that car because of that parent. I hate that sh*t. I know people who do that. It makes me sick. Hence, my dislike for Kate Gosselin.

And then there is Kate standing in her kitchen, shovelling her beloved crispy kale in her gob. Thank goodness for Deanna's suggestions. We have the Kiehl's body butter, bella bars, and now her addiction to kale. I'm glad that Henry got a shout out recently for the photo of his kale. Jamie must be seething. Oh, wait. I stand corrected. Jamie got some fame in the crap book with her broccoli with garlic powder recipe.

Kate must be settling in at the Essex about now. Fig and Olive tonight? Or will it be Chilean sea bass somewhere else......how come we never get those tweets anymore about thanking the best waiter in the world at the Fig and Olive? Are Jason and Ted busy? Please tweet about it tonight Kate!! I want to know if you had white sea bass papillote!!!

Over And Out said...

I looked at the photo of Kate at the carnival party. If I were a 10-year-old and my mother showed up with her boobs hanging down to her waist, I would be humiliated beyond belief. Did she even look at herself in the mirror in that outfit? That's just pathetic. Hike 'em up, Kate. Heave ho!

lukebandit said...

AuntieAnn,

Thanks for your post about Breaking Bad. I copied and pasted it and sent it to my ods who LOVES BB! Here is his reply:

Sweet! You still need to watch that show. It's the best one in TV history.

"Usually when Mommy makes big parties at the end she's like 'ooh, I'm so tired, I don't want to do any of this.'

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about with the cat fishing! On twitter when she talks about her stupid super bowl parties or Hurricane Sandy parties or what have you it's all happy happy joy joy. In reality she is saying she doesn't want to do this and she's so tired. I don't think Alexis would possibly make something like that up. I believe that is EXACTLY what Kate tells them.

Also? Way to guilt trip your kids and make them feel like one big burden. Enough belly aching like that and the kids stop asking for things that are healthy and good for them like parties/gatherings.

I don't get the lying either. What's the problem with being honest about what day it is? I really don't get the point. For that matter their "last minute" scrambling to get the party ready is just silly too, given that their birthday was already two weeks past due. There's nothing wrong with having a party two weeks later if that's what works for your schedule. Why LIE?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I thought that reality show participants didn't get residuals. This is why our airwaves are filled with every crazy ridiculous reality show one can think of. Producers love not having to involve the unions.

&&&

Going back to this a second. I don't think it's that there's some rule out there that there are no residuals allowed for reality T.V. I think what happened was because so many people don't have lawyers and aren't union, residuals are the first thing that goes from the contract.

I don't see why someone savvy, in demand and lawyered up couldn't both demand it and get it. In fact, as Vanessa also speculated, it may be that residuals were in Kate's Kate Plus 8 contract when she was much more famous, which might explain why they avoid airing the episodes because they're more expensive to air.

I find it impossible to believe that a power player like Kris Kardashian did not negotiate an air tight residual agreement. Many other celebs have had reality shows and their agents would know about residuals and would insist on a good contract and representation by an attorney or agent. It's the laymen who have gotten screwed by network quietly taking out residual agreements from contracts and the laymen none being the wiser since they just want to be on T.V.

If I were a guest at the party and saw the granny boobs on the "not a waist" I would be mortified for her. She really needs a touch up on those puppies or at least wear a bra.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

What she needs to do is dress her age, especially at her children's birthday party. She needs to stop making their tenth birthday all about her. She doesn't need to dress like a bag lady. A nice pair of leggings and long conservative blouse from Nordstroms tunic style, maybe some nice casual ballet flats and a chunky bracelet, and she would look elegant, trendy and age appropriate.

Joel McHale could have a field day snarking on Kate in the clown wig & those horrible drooping boobs! She looks crazy and disgusting in that dress. Really hope those kids had fun at their party.

I'm thinking Kate's HUGE surprise for the kids and their friends, the one that they will never ever forget is probably a guest singer of some sort. Wasn't she just in New York filming for CA with one of those Jonas boys. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she didn't try to con him into making an appearance at the party. Will just have to wait and see.

I guess Kate's too busy with Steve in NYC to even let them know about her appearance on GMA tomorrow.

Seems like Milo doesn't even know about it. In the meantime, Milo's blaming M&C's attitudes on teenage hormones. What her excuse for how the tups reacted to the carnival?

She cares nothing about those kids or their feelings. It's all Kate and only Kate.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

She should be promoting this special all week on twitter and should include the date, time and network each and every time.

And 24 hours before, she should be tweeting and retweeting with the time and network at least several times. She should also, obviously, tweet reminders about any appearances including GMA. She is listed on my guide so it's not a secret she will be on.

The last thing you do before a "big" event like this is go twitter silent for five days straight. What an idiot. Even if you are not around the internet (yeah right, it's 2014) you have a friend or employee tweet for you. Self promotion 101.

No way was it warm in early March. This winter went on FOREVER. It went on so long that my dd's last day of school was TODAY because of all the snow. The trees didn't bud for a long long time..that'll be another clue. Leaves didn't appear at all until well into April this year.

Yes. We all should remember what a hard winter this was. It was all over the news or you lived it.

Even in mild weathered years, I have never in over 20 years living in the Northeast anywhere from 80 to just a couple hundred miles from Kate, ever seen the trees blooming during the first week of March. Never. In fact we've had some of are most severe snow storms in March. Nature often likes to give us one or two big whoopers in March just when you're starting to have hope it's finally over.

It was not filmed over spring break, plain and simple, and I don't understand the lying.

getofftwitter said...

Lukebandit: I remember Jon being mad at her and kate just brushed it off as if Jon was making a big deal out of nothing. But then remember, Kate usually cooks by mixing thing together or slops it into a pot and calls it food.

Of course this is Kates dream/idea, the circus. Kate would never take the kids to a real circus, but has to make an ass of herself and her kids by dressing up as a clown, as I said before, Jon was right: Kate is an asshole.

Those kids most likely would have rather had a skating party, a water park party, an arcade party, even rock climbing, then to have a circus, how old does Kate think the kids are really? 5? Geez, at least the Duggars let their birthday kid pick what they want to do.

Oh, and as for that surprise Kate was talking about: I wonder if she & TLC are bring zoo animals to the house or petting zoo? JMO

NJGal51 said...

I'm guessing that she's spending the night in NYC ( with rat claws?) which is why she's twitter silent. If I were TLC I'd be pissed that she's not promoting any of this at all.

Pre-teenage hormones. Don't worry, Milo will find some excuse for it. If Kate isn't tweeting to promote this special, Milo has a handle on it.

I just can't get over her love for Kate. I mean, she is more than just obsessed, and she really doesn't give a darn about those kids. She wants Kate and only Kate. It's so creepy. Ugh.

FYI said...

Kate's promoting this special just like she promoted her book. She lets TLC(or HCI) and her tweeties do all the PR work, and all she does is just hit the retweet button on her twitter,

She hasn't even tweeted anything about the show since last Friday, and that then too was a retweet. I wonder if she remembers that she told Barb Gilmer that she would be live tweeting during the show?

I think Sandie is being facetious. Right Sandie?

====================

How can you tell? Sandie kind of flip flops, doesn't she? She's been retweeting about the show, promoting it. I just haven't quite figured her out.

UMMM She has a parka on in this pic (which is consistent with this spring):

Kate has never loved any of her children IMO. She treats some better than others but loves none of them. That is her worst moment and it is repeated in every episode.

Sadly you're right.

JoyinVirginia said...

I want to run the cake walk at the carnival! Only thing is that Auntie Ann has to stop juggling Steve s balls when I start, otherwise no one will come over to my little display! We will, of course, be giving cupcakes to the cake walk winners!

When Kate was telling them about the superfuncarnivaltheme, did everyone hear one of the kids shout "Where are we going???"

Did this mean they assumed their birthday bash would take place far away as part of a birthday trip? Yes, kids...you got screwed again.

(((

OMG yes! TWICE
_____

The kids also said more and once that the carnival party is not what they wanted.

I heared some of the kids suggest other things like staking-(I think) and momma ignored them and kept with her idea then. She blamed the twins for making the 6 not liking her idea.

JoyinVirginia said...

Grandee, so glad you are out of the hospital!

Ingrid said...

Only way a good bra would help Kate is if it is a big enough cup (triple H?) to cover her face and muffle her voice.

That is so spoiled. Not that that's their fault.

I'm sure Kate has been brainwashing them for years now that TLC is the reason they go to fun places. Thus when TLC gets involved again the question is Where are we going??

Tammy said...

Luke, I guess I don't understand why you can't watch all the shows. I don't have cable and watch most my tv on Amazon prime. The past Month its been Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Suits, Friday Night Lights, Lie To Me, Parenthood and Hot in Cleveland. When I finish those I plan to move on to Hannibal, True Blood, the Amerikans and some other shows I missed the first round.

BB isn't just about a teacher making meth. It is so superior to ANY tv show ever made. The writing and acting are phenomenal and it cannot in any way, shape or form be compared to Hoarders.

lukebandit said...

We called it years ago! A big trip every time TLC came to film. Now, at the end of the journey, kate says the big surprise is....a carnival here! Then they say, Where are we going? Leah says, Why can't we just rollerblade? I think the reason why the boy's reaction was so sad was that they were not going anywhere and they were going to have to stay and WORK with the chickens, feed the chickens, haul feed bags and do all the other work the W asks for.

Also, did anyone notice that beige board with all the sayings on it? I think she just put that there right before the camera's got turned on. Also that tree branch thing that Zorro was walking on looked like it was especially for birds. A banana hanger is tall and has hooks at the top.

Can't believe she would let the bird walk all over her island and eating food. yuck!

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Please let me work at the carnival! I will be selling T-shirts with cute
and funny sayings made famous by supermom TFW! Things like,
"Who Gave You Gum?" - "She's Ruined!" - "I Don't Want To Hear
You Breathe!" - "Stop Playing With Toys!" - "You're Not Welcome!"
And the official motto of hard-grifing parents everywhere: "Who Am
I To Say No?"

Come and git yer T-shirts!!!

Kate looks deathly ill in that clip. She's pale as a ghost, all bones and sunken in collarbone, and her face was a shiny sheen of sweat. Her hair is thin, lifeless and dishwater blonde.

She also appears anemic, downtrodden, burdened and defeated. There is no life in her at all. Good luck with 8 teenagers at once.

Maybe it's time for her family (parents, sisters and brother) to stage an intervention. She does not look healthy emotionally or physically from what I could see. How can she have any energy to run/jog? To me, she looks like she's barely clinging to life.

Harrisburg Native said...

One of the strangest parts of the RV episode to me was how the entire episode was shot- most notably, the absence of any sort of background music. Now with these 2 clips from the upcoming special I've noticed the same eery silence which I think is done completely on purpose to highlight Kate's behavior.

Also just wanted to mention that I live in the UK & our TLC channel does NOT show any K+8 shows as far as I can tell.

W.O.W
Ok, a few things...
How far back and shiny is that forehead of hers going to get?
I'm guessing the nanny is still doing the girls hair? Braids??
Mady mimics her mother to a tee. Even the hand jestures.
Again, Mady allowed to badmouth her siblings ON NATIONAL TV. She only repeats what she hears and all those words are her mother's. ALL OF THEM. She talks about her siblings in the exact same way as we have all witnessed their bitch mother. From "boys, their DIRTY, JUST NASTY" to
Colin's big head, to Mady's teeth, to Cara's hair...etc. And she's got the NERVE to sit their with her maw gaping open feigning shock? I"m sure she's had little girlie bonding time in her bedroom with Mady, giggling over all the things that annoy them about the twins. BULLYING AT IT'S BEST!
People are worried about what goes on at school?? If they are victims of bullying there??

She should throw herself her own clown party if that's what she wants. Auntie Anne will juggle, Dwindle will help organize the pie eating contest. I'll be in charge of the dunking booth.

I'd have to swipe Steve's balls out of Kate's purse. I can only juggle two things at a time.

I can't get over how saggy those boobs of hers are! Why why WHY doesn't she stop wearing strapless getups?

Vanessa said...

She's still doling out the portions I see. They can't even freaking pig out on KALE CHIPS?

She says the kids are swayed by Mady and Cara??? NO KATE, they all behave exactly as you do. A narc loves to throw a wrench into anything that that is seemingly going smooth. We saw it numerous times, pumpkin carving, cupcake decorating, not using markers, Jon's dinner... part of their reaction to the carnival is "no, we already did this" but I bet more often than not, they say black when it's white JUST BECAUSE. They learned that contradictory behavior from her. Again, not their fault. I hope they can see themselves on film years from now and consciously decide they don't want to be their mother. In a way it's better than just using your own memory (like a lot of us here) as a guage for proper behavior, or how NOT to behave.

Curious about what it looks like when BOTs post? Check out TFW's tl starting at about 6:55am EDT - the floodgates opened. lol And, it isn't pretty.

FYI said...

ROL has another story this morning written by Amber Ryland, again quoting "a source close to Kate".

An excerpt:

"But Gosselin isn’t letting the book phase her one bit — despite how enraged she was when it originally published.

“As for the book, that’s old news,” the source told Radar.

“There is nothing in that book that will be a surprise or a shock because it’s all already come out the first time. She’s not ruffled at all.”

Sounds like another sheeple "source", since this is what they've been saying about the re-release of the book.

Oops, forgot the link to the ROL story.

Interesting…the "inside source" for that ROL article sounds a lot like Hailey Glassman, who reappeared on TFW's twitter feed just yesterday. Things that make you go hmmm?


@hAiLeYgLaSsMaN1: You will bring in presidential ratings tomorrow @Kateplusmy8. Don't fret #Haters because both #Haters & #Fans tune in. @LaurenBGlassman ��������

AND

“Kate isn’t nervous about her special airing at all, she knows it will receive jackpot ratings,” a source close to the reality TV star told Radar.

“People love to hate her but they can’t not watch the TV special, there is so much buzz about it.”

Vanessa said...

Oh they are really doing a number on her at TLC's site! Her picture in the red dress, one of the most unflattering pictures of her, considering it was a professional shoot. All the clips are highlighting (and I mean with a strobe light) her at her worst!

Just wanted to check in this morning, and wish Admin and the blog
girls/pool boys/assorted helpers a good day. The next few may be
fast and furious, and emotions may be running high on the blog.
And we're bound to have some de-railers visiting as the book
release gets closer and closer. I think we've seen that enough
times to know the patterns some of the fans follow.

I greatly appreciate this space, and the hard work that goes into
maintaining it. And I appreciate all you fine folks who comment!

Anonymous said...

Seems like gross and nasty sells with TLC, and from the clips I've seen, that's the wagon they're hitching their horse to with the update. Show a lot of mouthy bad behavior. It works for HBB, why not now? They're banking on the bitch factor and including the kids this time.

I give the kids a pass with the "Where are we going" question. Maybe they meant something as innocent as laser-tag or glow-in-the-dark mini-golf. Something that 10 year-old kids would enjoy and possibly something they've done with their peers at other birthday parties.

BTW, Robert said his first book was only 10% of what he had. I wonder if the gloves will be completely off this time.

Terri said...

So funny!! No mention of Kate on GMA until the very last minute. She's going to get maybe 3 minutes of air time. I was starting to think she wasn't going to be on. They literally did not mention her until the very end of the show.

jennine s said...

Kate was given 3 minutes of the last 10 minutes of GMA this morning. More of the victim, I work sooo hard, grateful that I survived another day, Blah, blah. The kids didn't seem excited when she mentioned a carnival theme for their birthday and objected to it. More than one child said, "we have done that before" and she just kept talking, not asking for suggestions. Nothing new with this gal.

Vanessa said...

Did she say the bird is her TENTH child?
Was it a flub (thinking of Jon?) or is the dog her 9th?
Ok, even if she loves her long hair (I know a lot of women are attached to their own) she can get it trimmed. it can still be "long" at a decent shoulder length. She needs some layers. Waaayy too much makeup on her and did you see the zits popping through? The interviewer, who is going (or was going) through chemo was absolutely glowing, radiant. She's 41!
The contouring makeup around tfw's face looked awful. She actually looks 100x better without makeup

Oh, and what does Milo have to say about the one girl saying TFW complains and says she's tired when she has to have a party? Not exactly positivity and determination

LaLaLandNoMore said...

Did I just see Kendra interviewed outside GMA by Amy R? Oh, no, it was Kate G. trying to look like Kendra! Amy kept saying Gossling during the interview. So funny. Guess the Today Show has had their fill of her nonsense. They did a close up of Kate's face and chest. Wow, that "good bra" is really working.

is it just me or did the interviewer sound like she was saying "gosseling" instead of "gosselin"?

Look at TFW's body language in this picture--her facial expressions, and the way her right hand flops listlessly over the arm of the chair. Haven't heard the interview yet, but at this point, what she says doesn't really matter. Actions speak louder than words, and from all appearances, I'd say she's seriously depressed, if not outright defeated.

I want to echo Flimsy Flamsy s thanks to admin and all the terrific helpers and the terrific posters who make this such a fun place to visit! Thank you all who will tale one for the team and watch the update special so others don't have to!
Admin, you never had time to get that last Couples Therapy review done. Here is an idea: post that review in between the part one and part two update special reviews! Just to contrast the two personalities. It might be fun.
From reading here, it seems that TLC.decided the only way to possibly make money on this update and get eyeballs on out, is to show The Worst Of TFMJG.
I will be watching El Rey network, the new cable channel from Robert Rodriguez, tonight is kung fu movie night! First up, Avenging Eagle, ” one of the most beloved martial arts dramas of all time chronicles the Thirteen Eagles Assassination Sect of the Iron Boat clan and the formidable warriors united by tragedy”. Followed by The Chinese Boxer. Meanwhile SyFy network has the premiere of season 2 of Defiance, followed by the premiere of Dominion starting yummy Anthony Head who was Giles on Buffy, love him!

When asked what her "proudest moment as a Mom" was, she said when the kids are all in bed because they survived another day, and they are all healthy, safe and the house is quiet.

"proudest moment"hmmm I would take that question as "what are you most proud of about your KIDS???
She responds by saying "at the end of the day, when they're all in bed and it's all quiet"! (again, get them out of my presence, like when they were babies)
and then tacks on "you should be proud, at the end of the day all of us should be proud " or something like that. But you get the jist?? OF COURSE she thought she was asking what she's most proud about HERSELF! She is a farce

I have directv on the first level, Netflix. I can watch it but, maybe I will. Do you get Amazon prime through your computer or can you get a box to watch it through your tv?

I am at the clinic right now and was almost an hour late and then was going good and then the power completely went off. Chaos! But it finally came on just a while ago. The tv finally came on and I was watching GMA and at that point, they hadn't even mentioned kate.

The segment with JLo's surprise to the couple is over and still no head shot of kate sitting comfortably, waving those talons and showing those "bright as all get out" veneers.

Oh, man! They just showed her! Going to break. She is standing there smiling. BOY, she looks bad! Her makeup looks muddy and uneven.

The interview on Good Morning America was all of three minutes long. It was outside too. And the most telling was they never announced during the 2 hour program that she was going to be on the show today. At least I did not hear it. On the Today Show they would always announce it every few minutes and also show a live shot of her. Not so for GMA.
