Really? How's the blog and coupon site going??

Obviously not at all. At least she was honest about it!

Call Me Crazy said...

The shopping cart was relegated to shopping duty again. How fitting. She is a complete boob. A complete and utter no-talent boob. She was certainly in her glory on that coffee task. Every time she saw herself on the screen she broke out in that enormous horse-tooth grin. No doubt she now fancies herself quite the singer and dancer.

She really has a hard time putting a coherent sentence together. I can't stand Trump, but I do love how he always cuts her off.

readerlady - Cute piggy avatar!

Tess and Tucker's Mom - I love The Birdcage and Agador Spartacus! So many great lines, like:

Agador: When you gonna let me audition for you again?

Armand: When you have talent.

I don't know which era they were channelling with that hot mess of a hairdo, but it wasn't the 50s. And a competent stylist could have done that in less than 5 minutes. She should have been sent packing every single week for stupidity if nothing else. She's a time suck.

It's obvious that she's been coached to contribute more but all that she can bring to the table is the flapping of gums. Her lips move, but nothing intelligent comes out. She's only articulate when spewing lies.

I loved that The Donald called TFW out for making faces.

**************************************************************************
So glad to hear that! (I'm on West Coast, haven't seen yet). I also loved this comment on Twitter:

"Watching her facial expressions is like hearing nails drag down a chalk board."

Oh, speaking of American History, I've been working my way through "Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography of Laura Ingalls Wilder".

I've been trying to buy that on Amazon but it's always out of stock! Thanks for the reminder!!

Tess said...

Millicent 187

Burnout, maybe? I just looked at her wiki page and she sure has been very busy, but sort of all over the place. Supposedly she started classes at Vanderbuilt this past fall. I hope she finds something meaningful to pursue.

Did Kate bring in any money this time? Thanks in advance.
****
No fund raising challenges tonight.

Mel said...

She says, 'It's always me' when someone said she was the weak link.

And she looks pitifully at Trump. And Ivanka.

Those two seem to have bought into her story. Poor innocent, mom of 8, just trying to earn a living. No idea why everyone picks on her.

Other than the fact that she not only contributes nothing, and prevents everyone else from doing a good job.

You guys notice when Shawn left that she completely ignored TFW trying to hug her (she did hug someone else, though) and actually turned her back on TFW as she walked out.

NJGal51 said...

I wonder what TFW sees when she watches the show because her tweets sure don't make any sense with the show that I'm watching. I hate to tell her but tweeting it doesn't make it so.

Tess said...

Call Me Crazy - yes! Ok, one more and I'll stop.
-------
Albert: Don't give me that tone!
Armand: What tone?
Albert: That sarcastic contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman.
Armand: You're not a woman.
Albert: Oh, you b*st*rd!

Tucker's Mom said...

I don't watch any Real Housewives, but I can say that Kenya is a real piece of work. What she said to Brandi in the boardroom was way below the belt, especially when the team had worked together so well.

Call Me Crazy said...

I found Kate to be a a-hole when it came to her hair, she said something like I'm a celeb and it takes time to do hair.

I'm still shaking my head at the Paddington thing. She probably had to tell the boys they were seeing Taken to get them to walk into that theater. What a babyish movie.

&&&&&&&

Nope. Not me. I didn't make that comment. I think that if the kids wanted to see the movie, then they should have seen it, regardless if they had their peers approval. But that's just me. According to reviews, it's a PG movie intended for the kids' age group.

Ouch! Miss Perfect Grammar Kate said, on national television, "The difference between Vivica and I..."

That is SUCH a pet peeve of mine!! My boss says that all the time!

readerlady said...

Thanks, Call Me Crazy. So many people have referenced TFMJG's, um . . . shall we say swineish attributes, that I thought it appropriate to find a new avatar. I tried to find one with 8 little piglets, but decided the kids didn't deserve that. This one has its snout in the air like TFMJG observing the "mediocre" people in her orbit.

readerlady said...

Rats! Hit publish too soon. Love your avatar too, Call Me Crazy. I had to enlarge it to see what it says, but it's very apt. Add in Auntie Ann's equine feedbag and I think we've nailed down TFMJG's contribution to CA.

I believe next week will be THE week to watch.

TFW is going to dislocate her shoulder if she continues to pat herself on the back that hard.

Poor sad Milo. She tweeted that Vivica is trying to eliminate Kate because she (Kate) is her strongest and smartest female competition.

NJGal51 said...

Mel - The Donald, Ivanka and everyone else sitting on that side of the table have seen all the raw footage and absolutely no one is buying her poor little me schtick. They're playing her like a fine tuned instrument. Not only did the Donald call her out on her faces but he also cut her off and told her that she wasn't answering the question.

I think Kenya crossed the line in the boardroom tonight with her comments about Brandi and I think the Trumps (especially Ivanka) will hold that against her. My guess is that the next three to go will be Sig, Kenya and (finally) TFW. She's been skating by and bringing nothing at all to the table since the beginning.

Cruisin' Just As Fast As She Can Now said...

I don't watch her show, and I never listen to her interviews, but I did watch tonight and I really paid attention to what she was saying. She opens her mouth, words come out, but the words mean nothing. Does she even know what she's trying to say? I've never heard anyone speak like that, making absolutely no sense whatsoever. Is this her "normal" speech pattern, or was this scripted and she couldn't remember the dialogue?

Lynne In RI said...

NJ (23): "She's been skating by and bringing nothing at all to the table since the beginning."

)))))))))))))))))

She reminds me of a snake. She slithers in there, sticks out her tongue, wriggles around a bit, and crawls back out...very sneaky, keeping a kind of low profile, and then manages to crawl back out, totally intact. She's actually quite good at it.

Lynne In RI said...

Heather Schuck ‏@heatherj87 31m31 minutes ago
@Kateplusmy8 I just don't know how you put up with Vivica Kate!!! Have always loved you and am routing for you 100%!!!

)))))))))))))))))))))

LOL!! Digging with your snout? I love sheeple, most of the time!

NJGal51 said...

Crusin' - that's her normal speech pattern. She can't think on her feet so when she's asked questions that she can't answer she just opens her mouth and vomits words.

prairiemary said...

TFW is the same age as my daughter, the one who has 5 kids 8 and under, with a multiple in the mix, but she looks like she is TFW's daughter! With all of the money she spends, you would think she would fix her acne, she has a terrible complexion. Yes, I am being shallow.

Lynne In RI said...

DandiLioness ‏@DandiLioness 23m23 minutes ago
@Kateplusmy8 @ShawnJohnson Haha She didn't like Shawn but Shawn, being younger, is more mailable than you. She'd have more control w Shawn.

Would that be via USPS Priority, or UPS Ground?

DandiLioness ‏@DandiLioness 22m22 minutes ago
@Kateplusmy8 You're my favorite on #CelebrityApprentice. Love the positive attitude. Youre letting the drama roll off your back like a duck!

When was the last time Kate had a duck roll off her back?

AuntieAnn said...

Did I hear Trump tell Kate that she wasn't saying anything he wanted to hear?

Hi Don. Welcome to our world.

Did Geraldo just ask Sig if he was menstruating yet? Bwahahahaha! Sig did not look happy after his shopping trip with Kate & Shawn.

Sleepless In Seattle said...

Poor sad Milo. She tweeted that Vivica is trying to eliminate Kate because she (Kate) is her strongest and smartest female competition.

Oh, but just think about the beautiful (warm and fuzzy) dreams she's having about Kate right now! She's smiling in her sleep, and LOM probably wonders what she's up to but really doesn't want to know!

Rainbirdie said...

Lorenzo regarding Chock Full o' Nuts: "The brand is so old that it was perfect for Geraldo". omg...I cannot stop laughing!

Suze said...

Bwahahahaha, well she dodged the bullet again this week, but Kate made even more of an ass of herself than ever and I can't wait to read your CA recap, Admin.

Poor schmoops was sent out AGAIN to get props but she got soooo "confused" and it was of course, someone else's fault. (BTW, it sure looks like the other celebs have her number - which is a big fat ZERO.)
And, WTH was there to be confused about? She had to get a few props and whether or not the concept changed, the props she needed were the same plus she was given a list of specific things to bring back anyway, but oh dear me, she struggled soooo much because she was soooo confused. What an incompetent, inarticulate, ineffective, dolt she is. And, her gum chewing? Gaaaaaa - grow up, be professional, at least when the camera is on you, Kate! UGH, she looks so classless when she so obviously chews it (heck, she can't even hold it in her mouth w/o it being obvious.)

Kate says she either does something 100% or not at all (or something like that).
Really? How's the blog and coupon site going??

-----
Kate's quote: "I absolutely in everything that I do in life, I either do it and kill it or I don't do it all". Her words are absolutely true - just not in the way she means. She did a marriage and killed it. She did friendships & killed just about every one that the public knows about. And as Tucker's Mom pointed out, she doesn't do the blog & coupon site at all.

Rainbirdie said...

Thank goodness Admin broke up with her boyfriend last week. He acted like a controlling chauvinist during the coffee challenge - we would have had to stage an intervention on the veranda today if she was still smitten.

readerlady said...

localyocul 7 -- According to the Pioneer Girl Project blog, the book is currently out of stock and shipping on new orders will begin again in March. This isn't a major publisher, it's the S. Dakota Historical Society Press, so setting up print runs is slower. The book is well worth the wait. Maybe you can get it from your library in the meantime. Or pick up a used copy from abebooks or Better World Books.

Anonymous said...

Boy, it's pretty obvious that she has plenty to say and tons of energy when the PM is a man. She shuts down when a woman is in charge. Interesting.

And her grift of the grab? Only seems to work for craft services. She sure doesn't seem to miss a meal, does she? I'll bet she gains 10 lbs stuffing in as much free food in as she can.

Kenya is toast. After what she said about Brandi last night? The Trumps were appalled.

PJ

Vanessa said...

Hmmm was Shawn's comment about letting the older people "think" she was all intimidated,that they were eatinf right out of her hand meant for kart? While she says this kart's head is about to snap off from all the nodding.
When she doea something, she does it all,or nothing?
You said it right there, you do NOTHING.
Kenya? Trash
another do as i say not as i do
Wasn't it something like "I never attack anyone personally or insult them. Like I could say to Brandi your husband left you for someone much younger and prettier" Classless

Andrea said...

I don't see any of the children wanting to see Paddington Bear at the theater.

I could see a teen/tween watching it at home if they grew up loving the book. I will admit that I have my Paddington bear stuffed animal from the early 90's 7-8 years old. I was obsessed with toast and marmalade and tea at that time. Paddington was not cool when I was 10. I had moved on to other things.

Everything @Kateplusmy8 says sounds like she just had a lobotomy. Does she really carry her own show on @TLC? #CelebApprentice #NoTalent

Tess said...

NJGal51 - LOL! Love that line, too! And after that, when they are upstairs, one of the managers comes up and says to Armand something to the efffect of "You better get down there, she's trying to take his gum away!"
---------
Okay, I just watched on YT and caught up with the comments. Kate is on another planet. Everyone else knows they are playing a game. She acts as though this is more "real" than it is. I also love that Trump cuts her off. No one likes her and yet she thinks she's "in" with people. It's painful to watch. The faces, the gum, the fantasy land she is living in - so, so painful. Whoever said she just vomits words is right. There is no content whatsoever.
It is interesting, however, to watch other people's facial expressions and how they choose their words as they deal with the villiage idiot.
I was thinking about Shawn. She is used to being one of the best. She got a lot of praise and positive attention for DWTS. I was starting to sense that she realized she made a mistake in accepting CA and purposely checked out. And/or she realized she was going to continue to be stuck with Kate (who she did not like - no matter how much she avoided saying so) and beat a hasty retreat :)
Leeza has class. She is also getting the best edit, but I think it represents her authentically.
Vivica is handling herself well, too. Geraldo - I just can't. Everyone else is pretty much just there, nothing too interesting.
I thought Trump was an ass toward Ivanka when he described her shoe line task. He can't give up one second of attention for his own daughter. For a split second you can see a look of hurt in her eye, but she recovered very quickly. "Piss colored cotton candy" describes him inside and out.
As for the rest of it, I'm waiting to see Admin work her magic :)

FlimsyFlamsy said...

So these people met TFW, and worked with TFW, and spent
substantial amounts of time with TFW, and DIDN'T lover her?
How can that be?

Her "victimish" (remember when she used that made-up word
about Jon?) tweets are such a cop-out. Did they edit out the
parts where she saved the day? Where she went above and
beyond, and impressed everyone with her smarts and
organizational prowess?

The firing episode is gonna be sah-weet. It will be everyone's
fault but hers -- each contestant, the late Joan Rivers, that
vice president/secretary chick at the desk, and even the guy
driving her away in the limo. Where she'll poke-poke and
dab-dab her completely dry eyes and say that she cannot
WAIT to get home to her 8 precious babies, for whom she
did it all.

terri said...

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Kate had speaking lessons. She doesn't seem to say "umm" as much as she used to.

NJGal51 said...

What gets me is that we sat there and watched the episode and TFW is trying to make us believe that what we saw didn't actually happen the way we saw it happen but happened they way she says it happened. As I said in an earlier tweet, everyone on The Donald's side of the table have seen and/or been briefed on exactly what went down. TFW may cry editing but you can't edit in something that you didn't actually do. I love that TFW basically said that Vivica is an actress so moving around dramatically makes her look busy. She really is a douche.

NJGal51 said...

I agree PJ, the Trumps were appalled (as was everyone else) by what Kenya said to Brandi in the boardroom. Stick a fork in her because she's done.

Tucker's Mom said...

Lorenzo and Shawn on the Today show now.
Shawn is so young and sweet. She was just quashed by the other women.
Lorenzo is a class act, still saying he'd rather he took the responsibility and bring awareness to his charity.
Zero mention of Kite.

Really, these Today show interviews that each contestant promotes as they depart in the limo is under a minute long, so Kate's going to have to bring her A game so she doesn't um, um, um and gets some sensical, cogent responses in.

******
Kate has great difficulty completing her thoughts when trying to express them verbally. She starts out just fine, then interrupts herself and changes her line of thought, often times assuming that the listeners(s) understand and are following the thoughts as they appear in her head.
It's really her biggest impediment to making it on her own.
If you get a chance to read a transcript of any interview she's done, you will see it's not just you being unable to discern what exactly she's trying to say.
It's Kate, and I don't mean that as a pile on. She's not able to focus from subject, through predicate, to period.
Part of it, I believe, is that Kate thinks it's cute, perhaps coquettish, to bumble and fumble like that.
It's not, of course. It's rather childish (see, I used a word that actually does end in 'ish')

Agree. Kenya making excuses, saying that Brandi has said things just as mean, was no excuse to act like that in the boardroom. It was beneath every other person in that room, including Kate ;-)
Save that sh*t for your weave-pulling, table-flipping RH show!

Yes, pulling that in front of the very elegant, self-possessed, extremely intelligent LADY that Ivanka is did Kenya no favors.

But, Kate brought flowers to the table. FRESH flowers!!!!

For someone who claims how much she likes to and is great at "masterminding", Kate's done very little of it. She waits to be told what to do, which is to shop, and happily leaves while the others hammer out the details and pull their projects together.

PJ--I noticed that too. Next week, I think Sig is the project manager for the boat cruise. I'm sure she'll be throwing out ideas left and right. Don't know who'll be the PM for the golf thing, but I think that's the one where she gets fired. Maybe she volunteers to be PM, because she knows Geraldo will take charge and do all the work.

Why would Kate praise Joan didn't she know Joan trashed her.

In other news, seems like the tabs are still digging into Jeff Prescott's past. ROL has a new article about his declaring bankruptcy years ago. They also stated that he changed his name from Evans to Prescott for "business purposes" back in 2011.

Whatever deal he had with Kate, I'm sure he's ruing the day he ever got involved with her.

We get it, Kate. You're connected and like 'this" with Gibson and his salon, and it's great you pulled your own weight finally. It was foolish to waste so much time on your hairdo, and you should have figured that out at some point when everyone was waiting on you.
But, yes, Vivica doesn't like you, and from the looks of the daggers you shot her, you don't much like her either.

Sasquatch said...

The whole Jeff Prescott thing smells like a Ratclaws and Sasquatch plant. When a celeb starts dating someone, the tabs usually have photographic evidence, friends willing to go on record, etc. in addition, the tabs usually say that the celeb has a new girl/guy or is dating a cameraman/actress. 'Sasquatch is Dating a Millionaire'...very off. We know he's a "millionaire" before we even know he's a man.

Formerly Duped said...

Solution to movie problem; if the twins went, they could chaperone whoever wanted to see a different film, if more than Paddington was being shown in this cinema. (We have 16 in ours) Even at age 10+, some could go together to a different film in the same cinema complex IMO. I think at that age and with their numbers, it'd be ok.

*Guess what? My dog moved both hind legs vigorously to tuck them under her body!!! She is coming home today, early, due to her stress. I will be a 24/7 nurse! Injections, bladder care, wound care, injections, physical therapy...but we are so happy!

"Starred in commercial" -- phrased just like you'd expect from
a narcissist. Look at me! I'm starring in a fake commercial! For
which I "hired" the hair and make-up, using the only living soul
who'll return my calls! Don't I rock?!

It's reminding me of when Lucy was in Ricky's Hollywood screen
test, and expected the bigwigs to ignore Ricky and see HER and
say, "That face, that face! Get me that girl!"

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

I agree. TFW does nothing extreme or takes on tasks to showcase any talent, but the men buy into her willingness to help, while the women see her as having no donations as a REAL player. She is simply a reality star with no talent/fund raising capacity who floats along, sucking the life out of her kids, by using them for filming. And preys on the men/young women for support. Way to go Kate (she has had a TON of paid advice PRE-CA -( How much did that cost?) and SUCKS. More money not going to her own kids. Probably spent more on training for the CA show (this time) than she did for DWTS. Never mind the cost of enhancements.

I am dead serious, why is Kate Plus 8 still on the air? Are they filling the slot for HBB? Serious TLC mistake, which seems to be the problem. TLC, IMO, is grasping at straws due to budget. Kate +8 is old and tired. Time to move on. She has had 10+ years to find a way to work without using the kids.

Sorry, I meant Jones. Don't know "Evans" came from.

TLC stinks said...

He changed his name from JONES to Prescott after his bankruptcy and divorce. There is something off. Could it be that Jeff Prescott has unwittingly been used as a patsy by Kate and TFM? Because I cannot imagine this guy wanting all this crap coming out publicly. Kate will do anything to remain on TV, even if it means ruining someone (i.e. Jon, Robert). Really this Prescott guy needs to set things straight for his kids' sake.

JMO said...



Kate is a twit said... 64 --

I do have to say that these "reality shows" don't lend a lot of actual credibility to the "stars" LOL - they support. TFW is a grifter and obsessed on being on TV, so HER desires will ALWAYS COME BEFORE HER KIDS.

She has filmed them for 10 years. Time to cut bait and be a parent supporting them. Or open a "business" as you said a while ago. Although I don't think the business aspect will allow you to film, which bothers YOU a lot.

Her choices usually revolve around HER, so not sure if this circus is ever going to end. She loves to be filmed and hear herself talk. Can not imagine how she is getting her kids to agree to this at this age, other than huge rewards.. The majority of the kids DO NOT SEEM TO BE HAPPY, and are tiring of filming, in spite of whatever TFW says.

Anonymous said...

I thought CA did a piss-poor tribute to Joan Rivers. They beat that drum far more in the commercials for the show than they did in the actual show. Shame on them.

I also thought Joan looked like a woman who was not well. She had a puffiness to her face that was troubling. Congestive heart?

I also noticed that she had no time for sKate. She didn't allow her to toady up to her. She was no fool.

Mel said...

Exactly. And this is what I see Trump buying into, to some degree anyway.

TFW counts on what she sees as her coquettish (love that word) behavior to bring out the white knight behavior in the men.

Poor me....just a mom, trying to feed her 8 kids, all alone..all the women hate me, I have no idea why...you can see that all I do as a mom is try to help, and then they hate me for it...so catty, all those meanies...all they do is bully poor innocent me, just a mom who is trying to help, do what I'm told (but no more). Did I mention that I'm a mom? 8 kids?
I need a big strong man to run interference for me..protect me from those catty women. You're so big and strong...you'll help a damsel in distress, won't you? (Bats eyelashes here. Offers a cleavage glimpse.)

"...... I love that TFW basically said that Vivica is an actress so moving around dramatically makes her look busy...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kate is describing herself in many of the comments she makes about the other players. Kate always looks busy too but she doesn't really accomplish much.

PJ's momma said...

Formerly, that is great news about the dog! I fortunately never had to learn to express PJ's bladder, he never lost that function. Sounds like your little one will be good as new soon!

angie said...

Kate says this about Vivica " She lot lucky on this one' (regarding being pm).

Kate, you crumpled into a pile of mess when you were pm. The only thing Leeza has done wrong so far is stepping up to the plate and taking charge of Kate's pm. She should have sat back and let Kate go down in flames.

Anonymous said...

Yes, Formerly, good news about your pup. Hope being home eases the tension.

PJ (not the dog)

Jumping In said...

Kate has made a CAREER out of looking busy and being dramatic! Everything she does is infused with (self-inflicted) stress and histrionics. There is no ease, no follow-through, even getting from A to B requires assistance. As far as I can gather, she manages to reluctantly crank out 3 meals a day and do round trips to the bus stop. Other than that, (unless she is handed something), there is no follow through whatsoever. The reason her coupon site and website died is because there is no camera present to hold her accountable. The camera appears to be her sole motivation for doing anything, everything else just falls away.

This fact cannot be lost on her children. They are getting older and have to realize themselves that it's the camera she loves, and they are merely her props. A camera solely focused on her outweighs her own show, especially now that her kids are more willing to call her out on her BS.

Formerly Duped, thrilled to hear about your dog. She will do so much better in the comfort of her familiar home and her loving family. You'll be a great nurse.


JoyinVirginia said...

Verbal diarrhea is how TFMJG talks in the board room. And probably other times. All this while accompanied by her personal Boobyguard. Who must be giving assistance as she shops, don't you think? If TFMJG has her personal shopping assistant, then who REALLY got the fresh flowers? Was it TFMJG or TFM?

Tucker's Mom said...

*Guess what? My dog moved both hind legs vigorously to tuck them under her body!!! She is coming home today, early, due to her stress. I will be a 24/7 nurse! Injections, bladder care, wound care, injections, physical therapy...but we are so happy!

Yay! I'm so happy for you and your pup!
My Bichon did better at home, and as you see, the care is intensive, but day by day, week by week, she'll continue to recover and it gets easier.
Thanks for the update!

I thought CA did a piss-poor tribute to Joan Rivers. They beat that drum far more in the commercials for the show than they did in the actual show. Shame on them.

I also thought Joan looked like a woman who was not well. She had a puffiness to her face that was troubling. Congestive heart?
******
I thought Joan's energy was low, but I think the puffy face is fillers, which she received for many years.
I really thought we'd see Joan trading barbs with the likes of Kenya, but maybe the ass kissing took that off the table.
It was an underwhelming showing for Joan, and I'd been looking forward to it.

Suze said...

@Kateplusmy8: Kate..again! Oh isn't it clear by now she doesn't like me?!Shopped, hired hair/makeup/ starred in commercial too! But weak? #CelebApprentice

********

Whether Vivica doesn't like Kate is debatable, but I think there's one thing for sure, she and everyone else are pretty clear that Kate just doesn't get it, either personally or professionally. Most people who lack in experience or talent hopefully make up for it in other areas like having a great personality or they're super efficient or they're the workhorse. We know she doesn't bring any of those traits to the table either!

The concepts behind most of the tasks are so out of her realm of experience and expertise that it's obvious she hasn't a clue what she's doing. She wasn't making a "commercial" she was making a viral video -- 2 very different concepts. I think it was evident to everyone on the show that she didn't have a grasp on what the task was really about, let alone have an idea how to mastermind it's production.

AuntieAnn said...

I'm surprised Kate hasn't flirted with Johnny Damon. He looks a little like Jon and *BONUS* he's partially Asian. Married? No problem. She can be gone the next day.
(I'm kidding. Johnny's wife has a real personality, a real career and she's gorgeous. Sorry Kate you're shit out of luck this time.)


Formerly - That's great news. Bringing her home is good medicine.

Nah, Flimsy. Don't you remember how she came riding in on her trusty steed (oh, my bad - that was just her walking) clutching bouquets of fresh flowers to fling at Viveca's feet? Pay no attention to the fact that those flowers didn't mean a hill of beans.

Tess said...

Formerly,
Thanks for sharing the good news about your pup. I hope the rest of the recovery goes smoothly and swiftly!

Sasquatch said...

Yes, Sasquatch does nothing but busywork, usually unnecessary shit like cleaning a clean refrigerator with a q tip. I don't think she is equipped to handle life, so fixing self-inflicted non-problems is her only shtick. She's gotta clean up pumpkin mess while Jon and the kids are still carving because she's made a big deal over nothing. (And because someone else was interacting with the kids in a far superior manner than she is capable of). Et cetera. A lot of bipolar people act this way. Distract from the real problem, which is and always has been, Kate. Dealing with people authentically is too scary because it would require the sick person to gain some personal insight and humility. She is gonna avoid that for as long as she can because her truth is awful. Who she is, what she's done, whatever trauma she suffered to result in her reacting to the world in the most repulsive fashion imaginable. If she really loves those kids, she'd get the psychiatric help she needs. TLC will eventually get tired of filming her children suffering and of her mentally ill escapades. She's like Rain Man.

Suze said...

I'm wondering if Kate's kamp planted the story about her dating Jones/Prescott before doing their full and due diligence and once they dug up info about his other name and past problems, if that's why and when she denied having a relationship with him. IDK, either way, it's a non-story. No one in their right mind would have a relationship with her.

When she said she was 'the actress' I threw one of my pink crocs at the tv. Gawd she's full of herself. Keeping her on as long as he has is only inflating her ego more. I hope 'his honor' is setting her up for a big fall and calls her out for her lack of input during the entire season when he fires her.

The good news is that millions are witnessing the real Kate. I do not believe she has turned those new millions into fans, LOL. There is no doubt, based upon how long she has managed to stay on CA, that this show is strategically mapped out for ratings. The fix is in, has been, and all Trump cares about is the publicity churn. He would never risk it by letting her win, but we figured she would be good for discussion. Meanwhile, Ms Beverly Hillbilly, has no realization of the laughing stock she is making of herself.

Interesting…A guy at work just got terminated for consistently bad-mouthing his project manager and/or team decisions. The big thing was that it’s not cool to second-guess the pm. Finally the pm had enough. Gone.

If you don’t like how/what he/s doing, bring it up in the team meetings. But then whatever is decided by the pm/team, you go with it. You absolutely don’t bad mouth the pm (or the decision) outside of the team meeting, or after the fact. Once the decision is made, it’s made. You support the decision, whether or not you agree with it.

TFW made it seem that Vivica arbitrarily changed things. Which was not the case. There was a good reason for a change; the truck was not the size that Vivica was expecting. She didn’t think their current concept would work well with that size truck.

As the pm, that was her decision to make. As a team member, it’s not your role to second guess her decision. As a good team member, when something goes awry, your first response should be, “Let’s see what we can do about this. How can we overcome this roadblock?”

Not go sit on the couch and chow down while everyone else tries to adjust to the new parameter. I’m sure they would have preferred not to have things changed, either. But they weren’t moaning and groaning about it.

*********************************************************************************
I don't get the feeling that the DT or Ivanka has bought into her story. The DT is just sitting back and will, hopefully, rattle off a long list of her shortcomings when he does fire her. Ivanka is just too polite to let her have it.

However, I was surprised that Joan didn't rip into TFW just a little bit. I could see like everyone else that she didn't give TFW any attention, but she didn't have much to say in the boardroom scene at all. Was it just the one appearance for Joan or will she be back next week?

Since Gladys and Kate do so much communicating in other ways, why doesn't she just call or DM Kate and ask her what she meant by that? I'm sure she would tell her, and Milo could act like she had "inside" information and explain it. Another feather in her cap. After all, they are besties.

"Maybe she ought to consider going to college or otherwise planning for a career that doesn't involve a reality TV show. I can't figure out what happened to her drive and work ethic"

My mother was a big fan of Shawn's on Dancing with the Stars. I think the problem is Olympic gymnasts don't have that many opportunities after the Olympics. Ice skaters can still do shows. She could teach gymnastics.
*******
I agree, which is why I thought college might be a good idea. I think another poster indicated that Shawn is a college student (maybe this is recently?), so I'm glad to hear that. I do understand that she's in a transition period right now. Probably her entire youth was taken up with gymnastics and the Olympics, with no time to think much beyond that. Now is her opportunity to explore other avenues besides gymnastics. Does she have other interests or talents? Good at math? Good at sales or marketing? Is she interested in photography, art, music, acting, writing, business? What I hope she knows already is that she's about run through most of the D-lister reality shows by now.

She is young (only 22). She'll grow and mature. Right now, she plays both sides. She gets her back up and claims that people underestimate her because she's young. Then in the limo ride after being fired, she says "I'm only 22 and just starting in the business world," intimating that it was a little unfair of Viveca to expect Shawn to step up and be project manager. Either you want to be treated as an adult or you don't Shawn. I wish her good luck.

Vivica is handling herself well, too. Geraldo - I just can't. Everyone else is pretty much just there, nothing too interesting.
I thought Trump was an ass toward Ivanka when he described her shoe line task. He can't give up one second of attention for his own daughter. For a split second you can see a look of hurt in her eye, but she recovered very quickly. "Piss colored cotton candy" describes him inside and out.
********
If the editing is foreshadowing the final two, then I think it will be Leeza and Viveca, or possibly Leeza and Geraldo. I agree that Leeza and Viveca are the two shown in the most positive light. Sig is practically a non-entity. I guess we'll see more of him next week, but the commercial didn't seem to portray him in a positive light.

I wonder if Kenya will get the boot before Kate, due to Kenya being such a complete and total nasty, mean and downright ugly person. She certainly is giving Kate a run for the money in that department! I never saw Kenya before this show, and now I simply cannot stand her. Kenya is simply unable to be classy for one minute, and if she thinks she could land clients like Ivanka Trump with her unprofessional demeanor toward others, she better think again. Maybe she was trying to deflect after being told her "grand piano, chandelier" idea was outdated and not the image Nordstroms wanted for their viral video.

I thought Kate's updo for the commercial looked silly and was a complete waste of time. It's hard to know for sure, since the compressed format means tons of footage ends up on the cutting room floor, but I have not seen much interaction between Kate and Geraldo. In fact, he seems to ignore her. It looked like she was trying to glom onto Lorenzo, but oops, he's gone now too. Just like her nursing days, none of the male contestants seem too impressed with Kate - lol. Guess she's stuck with Rat Claws.

OT, but speaking of chewing gum...

A western Pennsylvania university student and basketball player likely inhaled chewing gum into her lungs while asleep before being found dead in her dormitory over the weekend.

The Washington County coroner's office said 21-year-old Shanice Clark of Toronto was found unresponsive at about 3 a.m. Sunday at California University of Pennsylvania.

University officials said they were "deeply saddened" by the death of the 6-foot senior forward, who was redshirting after playing two dozen games for the Vulcans last season.

California borough police say a preliminary report from medical personnel indicated that the death appeared to be accidental.

An autopsy was conducted Monday.

Although the coroner didn't immediately release the results, police say medical personnel indicated Clark aspirated the chewing gum while sleeping.

What I hope she knows already is that she's about run through most of the D-lister reality shows by now.
*******
I hope so. I hope she's done with D-list reality tv and harnesses her talents to do something worthwhile with the rest of her long life.
When you go from being a world-class gymnast standing on podiums, to sitting in Donald Trumps boardroom with reality tv fame whores, you hopefully realize you are on a downward trajectory that usually ends up with you being featured on an episode of the E True Hollywood Story.

Tucker's Mom said...

And speaking of eyes, why does Donald always look like he just finished smoking a big fat doobie when he enters the boardroom? He sure squints a lot.

Well this is very interesting: Steve makes an appearance in the background of this deleted scene. You can not only see him, but Kate actually calls out to Steve at the 59 second mark of this video. He is in front of Kate as they are walking away, and you can hear Kate saying "sorry Steve" in the background, (as Sig is talking).

You can also see him in the distant background at the 35 second mark, (but not as well as at the 59 second mark).

I think she meant the one who stays or "lives" the longest (on the show) wins. That one phrase sums up her "gift of gab" - LOL.
---------------------------
That's what I thought too.

It's incredibly poorly phrased - "the longest liver" for "the person who lives (stays) the longest".

Besides that, it is either vacuous (explaining how the rules of CA work - the person who doesn't get fired wins! Who woulda thunk it?) or shows her "strategy" (don't try to do anything positive, just keep a low profile and whine/deny when anybody points out how useless you are).

The gum chewing on TV is pretty classless. I chew when nervous, hungry or my breathe needs to be freshened, but I would never do it while on national TV. Maybe the gum has nicotine?

. . . but I have not seen much interaction between Kate and Geraldo. In fact, he seems to ignore her. It looked like she was trying to glom onto Lorenzo, but oops, he's gone now too. Just like her nursing days, none of the male contestants seem too impressed with Kate - lol. Guess she's stuck with Rat Claws.
*******************************************************************************
I think Geraldo put up with/used her for the team's sake in the bridal dress challenge. When things were getting tense with Vivica and TFW and Shawn had walked away to isolate themselves on the couch, there was a shot of Geraldo concentrating on his task at the table. He seemed to be ignoring the drama and was not going to try to draw TFW back into the task. Guess she still didn't know the meaning of being "enterprising".

I have long suspected the exact same thing!

Incidentally, I haven't seen very much promotion for tonight episode of Kate +8, ( especially compared to last week sparse promotion) this weeks is practically nonexistent.

Not having watched CA before, is it typical for a particular contestant to always be brought back the way TFW has?
______________________________

Some have been brought back multiple times, but Kate is right up there. No one can touch poor Dayana Mendoza (Miss Universe 2008) from CA5, though, who was brought back to the boardroom a whopping 5 times. She was in the boardroom an additional 2 times, once when she lost as the PM (not fired) and again when she was ultimately fired, for a grand total of 7 boardroom appearances! (Lisa Lampenelli hated her and was positively brutal to her.) Here are the stats for some others (courtesy of Wikipedia):

Dennis Rodman - CA6: 4 BR appearances (brought to BR 3 times plus 1 BR firing)

Star Jones - CA4: 4 BR appearances (brought to BR 2 times; appeared in BR 1 time as losing PM, but was not fired; 1 BR firing)

Brande Roderick and Melissa Rivers - CA2: Both had 4 BR appearances (each was brought to BR 2 times; had 1 BR appearance as losing PM; and one BR firing)

Carol Alt - CA1: 4 BR appearances (brought to BR 3 times plus 1 BR firing)

Omarosa - CA1: 4 BR appearances (brought to BR 1 time; appeared in BR 2 times as losing PM, but was not fired; 1 BR firing)

Right now, Kate has been brought to the BR 3 times. When all is said and done, she will have at least 4 BR appearances, possibly 5 upon her firing.

Ex Nurse said...

I personally loved when TFW said that there was a lack leadership from the PM. Does she have amnesia? Her stint as PM was an epic fail!

I also laughed when TFW was bobbing her head when Shawn was talking about other participants trying to influence her. I took her nodding to be that she agrees that she tried to take advantage of Shawn's youth and tried to influence her.

Mel--about your comment that Shawn turned her back on TFW to avoid a hug:

If you watch the scene when they leave the boardroom, you can see TFW put her arm around Shawn just before the door closed. It didn't look like she tried to avoid it, but it was a very brief shot.

Dmasy--I am bummed that Justin got sent home on PR!

My favorite part of the boardroom was when TFW was going on and on about the flowers and Vivica said (paraphrased) "If you want to continue to toot your own horn about the flowers then...beep, beep!"

It reminded me of when Pam Anderson did the "CHECK" as a dig at TFW.

JoyinVirginia said...

I had thought that TFMJG was this season's Gary Busey. I have reconsidered. She is boring on this show, even with her nonsensical statements in the board room. Even with her hair. Even with her constant eating. And the gum chewing. That is why she is being shown eating and chewing and shopping, there just isn't much else she does that is interesting. It is great that the show does not involve her kids at all.

FYI said...

If Kate gets fired next week, will she be home in time to live tweet her show or will she stay in NYC?

First she has to appear on the Today Show, then Wendy Williams. Then she and the other person fired have to answer questions on the Apprentice FB page, which starts a 3pm ET and ends around 4pm.

Bet she's looking forward to the episode airing so she can do her "media" tour.

Kate will appear on the Today Show and probably a slew of others while in NYC.
Also, isn't the finale next week? I'm wondering if there will be more media involving that, and the winner.
Is the finale live??

Anonymous said...

You know, I'm happy she's doing this gig on CA. She's not exploiting the kids (even though she wouldn't be on the show without them) and she's showing her true colours. The only fans she's gaining are the people who have zero powers of discernment and you're going to have those people in any society. More importantly, more people are getting a real glimpse of who she really is. And these people are adults, not kids or impressionable teens.

I appreciate the laughs. She truly has no talent, she's not very bright and she's socially awkward. She's lazy and has no imagination. She has no grace, poise or table manners. She's confirming everything we've been saying for years.

FYI said...

Preview for next week, for those that didn't watch last night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjHRZZDEFxI

Sig is the PM for the boat task and he is bringing in a bunch of girls from Hooters for the entertainment. He should have had Kate join them. That's one talent she could excel at.

If both Kate and Sig get fired that'll leave 2 people left on Team Vortex. I think DT is going to move Kenya over to that team, since there was a picture of Geraldo, Vivica and Kenya posted on instagram during one of the later tasks.

Tooting her own horn is the only talent Kate has.

I hope on the finale when sKate is sitting in with the other CA's, they talk and I hope they give her heck for the way she didn't do anything but eat, chew gum, shop, didn't help and vomited verbal diarrhea.

Even Sig got Mike Rowe. I thought when Sig was talking about the velvet material that it was sexy? that sKate scoldingly told him, Excuse me, The women are talking here. Did anyone catch exactly what she said.

I remember when she leaned back and did that stupid bloob bloob bloob like she was sinking in quick sand against the fabric rolls. Stupid! You would never catch
TCL doing something like that!

FYI said...

The promo says "only 3 weeks left before the winner is crowned". I don't think the finale will be on Feb.9. I think there will be 3 more episodes and then the live finale.

Right now they have 9 contestants left. Geraldo, Sig, Kate, Vivica, Leeza, Kenya, Brandi, Ian and Johnny. How are they going to get rid of 7 people in 2 weeks and then have the final 2 for the finale? Either they're going to throw in a show on a Sunday(after the Super Bowl) or there are going to be some double firings for some of the tasks.

PJ, I agree. It's great that Kate is getting gigs without the kids, and we (so far, knock on wood) haven't seen Kate beat the 8-children drum.
CA has not focused so much on any "poor me, single mom" b.s., and I appreciate that they haven't put her on a pedestal.

librarylady said...

############
I don't think she has much interest in this point in anything that doesn't involve just her and/or them instead of shared attention with other "celebs". She's so blah about CA from the start but becomes high as a kite with anything that is just about her and/or the kids. Just seems so telling to me as these 2 shows air together.

Agree- Kate has far more focus on her and her over acting on K+8.
She can also control the narrative, moan about being a tired, put upon, single parent.
Meanwhile, over in CA Land, Kate is bragging about how she could tackle every challenge and long hours and looks far more plugged in.

Jumping In said...

Tucker's mom.... I agree, she cannot hide behind her kids on CA, she is out there all alone, and therein lies the problem. There is no substance, no depth, nothing but a Hollywood wannabe with bad hair and make-up. She is soulless, vacuous and incapable of anything more than eye-rolls and a gaping mouth, shocked that anyone would challenge her official story of being the calm, masterminding mother of eight. Gawd.

When I look at her in the boardroom scenes I see a woman so far removed from the person she started out to be. She was never content being known as an attractive, (albeit somewhat frumpy) mother of eight. The moment the make-up and hair changed, her transformation moved away from the mother of eight persona to Hollywood celebrity in her mind. Sadly, she does not have the brains or the character to go it alone. She is just an aging, cardboard cut-out of some impossible dream she longs to achieve.

The children are such bit players in all of this. She wants the glamour far more than the dull, boring mother of eight kids role she is playing on TLC.

Well said! She has a huge superiority complex, without anything to back it up time and again. Most of all, most of the kids are probably more confused than anyone in HER mission to be famous.

Interesting that she has had to bring the twins' friend on the show to buffer them for filming. (Saw it on youtube). Histrionic Kate with delusions of grandeur.

She is actually nothing other than having 2 orchestrated sets of multiples. Very sad.

Jumping In said...

Dmasy...183. You are so right, she has traded her eight children in to become a celebrity. She drove away a decent husband, along with everyone else who stood in her way to achieve a higher level of fame.

What continues to mystify me is that no-one ever calls her out on what seems to be so obvious to all of us sitting on the veranda. Perhaps her day of reckoning is coming on CA, but there never seems to be a final, defining nail, does there?
