And we have the ratings from Showbuzz: 1.077 million viewers and a 0.31 share.
====
According to their numbers it looks like 584,000 viewers either switched channels or shut off their tv after the Little Couple aired and before Schmoopy's Big 4 0h invaded their screens.
Haha, I love that Shark Week and Deadliest Catch (which was THE #1 show per rankings) did better than Kate. See, Kate? More people want to watch FISH than they do you. LOL
TV by the Numbers, which ranks the 100 most popular cable shows for the entire day, has Kate Plus 8 dead last in 100th place.

I would like to know how this guy gets his numbers. He has shows in the top 30 that TVBytheNumbers doesn't have in their Top 100.
-------------------------
I think Showbuzz is just showing primetime, whereas TV by the Numbers is showing full-day results.
What she has done to C is pure evil. She will pay one day.

Well, Deanna's an enabler and a "yes" person. Looks-wise, in her defense, I think she looks natural and hasn't gone for plastic surgery to enhance/fix anything.
**************************
Yes, she's got some of her own issues-of that I'm sure.
She may be plain, but I'm with Auntie, if you're in the business of MAKEUP shouldn't you WEAR SOME? \
*****
I know which part Vanessa said, but I'm not sure about the first two quotes. Anyway, I think Deanna is just another version of Milo. She is a hanger-on, and fawns over Kate. This is the closest to celebrity she'll get. She's been on tv because of catering to Kate; and she's been able to take some trips on TLC's dime as well. It's not nice to say it, but she's the less attractive friend, which is why Kate likes having her along when they go out on these scripted "nights out." There is little chance that Deanna will draw any attention away from Kate.
As to poor Collin - why does his mother treat him so poorly? She is the meanest, most vile mother.
What were the ratings for the three-hour look back again? And what were the ratings for the other specials? Thanks!
so she's tired soooo tired of people asking about a man in her life
BUT in the opening scene she's whining about turning 40 AND BEING SINGLE!! YOU BRING IT UP YOUUUUUUU!!!
Oh, how telling, the kids freaking out that she's leaving. Leah is crying saying she NEVER SEES HER???!! how is that?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difference is Showbuzz only ranks original episodes while TVBytheNumbers includes reruns and syndication. TVBTN is packed with episodes of Big Bang Theory, Family Guy, and SpongeBob that had more viewers than a lot of original episodes of other shows.
Who the hell got those kids allll worked up about HER turning 40?
It truly is ALL ABOUT HER
oh. my. God!
your descriptions of that bitch's reaction to poor little Colin's gift do not convey how Colin was soooo excited, absolutely RELIEVED that the shop guy let him get that bear for 200 pesos.
I wonder if Kate's ratings were low because of the 10pm airing time and also was she on any of the entertainment shows? She wasn't on any of the morning shows, Extra, Access Hollywood and so forth. And if no then why not?? It looks like only the entertainment web sites were tolerating her.
Jane (199). I agree with you about Robert . It does seem like the light just went out. Sad.
It just breaks my heart to read about what TFMJG did about Collin's gift. She's had it in for him from day one. I remember in one of the early shows, or maybe one of the 2 early specials, her complaining about his "big ol' head" and how much discomfort it caused her when he was in utero. I'm surprised that Joel is in favor, though, since he's the most like Jon in temperament. All in all, I'm glad I didn't watch but I really hope Admin does a recap. That should make for some funny reading.
When I was 1st grade, our school set up a rummage sale. This would be around 1960 or so, the Kennedy years. There was a pair of bright red button earrings that matched a dress of Mom's that I loved on her. I paid a whole nickle for them and was proud as punch with my find. I found my Mom and presented them to her. She ooh'd and aah'd and then immediately removed her gem earrings and put mine on. She wore them the rest of the night and told everyone who noticed them about her gift.
She put them on every time she wore the red dress.
Years later, after the red dress was gone, that I found the earrings in her jewelry drawer. She had put them in a small jewelry case right next to her good jewelry cases. I can tell you now those were the cheapest looking plastic earrings ever crafted. UGLY. What I think happened was that Mom wore the ugly ones as she and Dad were leaving, switched earrings in the car and when they got home switched them back again. That was a lot of effort, but I grinned from here to there because my mommy did not EVER discount even a bad gift. Even ugly things are beautiful when given and received with love. We all know this. What keeps Kate from knowing it too? (rhetorical)
I may sound mean, but I love watching her ratings take a nosedive. I can't wait until the show drops to under 1 million--and stays there. I looks like that time is coming really soon. It just infuriates me to see how she mistreats her kids and is rewarded for it.

Thank you all who get the viewing number and help break them down and 'splain them to folks like me ;-)
To be honest (see what I did there?!), I though Kate's Mexico episode would score around 1.5 million. Between the "Decade Of Kate" and 10-min. infomercial and hype, I thought she'd at least hold around where she's been.
Now if the tups Bday will bring up her batting average? Not sure.
11th birthday. Not a landmark and do people really want to see these kids get spoiled to kingdom come again?
To me, this is getting to the point of overexposure again, like when people were sick to death of her and wanted to throw her into the Grand Canyon!
I do wonder if more filming is going to happen. Other than swimming in their pool, what is there to follow? More lavish trips? Followed by Kate's usual pity me party?
Blech!
I do think they will film a trip to Camp Barnabas tho.
I, too, get the impression Kate is still advertising her body and TLC is helping her. A sarong would have been so much more attractive and appropriate. She just doesn't get it and has no class.
Redbird, loved your lyrics! Great job.
I wish someone could stop the insanity at TLC and keep TFW off the air permanently. That poor Colin. Where is Jon in all of this? How could a parent stand to see one of his eight children mistreated like that? Who wants to watch the mistreatment of a child? Not me. Also, who enjoys watching another family/person taking an extravagant vacation they didn't even pay for? Not me. TLC needs to drop TFW like a rock. List of advertisers, please.

So, Kate told the kids she was going away/to Mexico without them?
How exactly did the kids react?
Because, she goes away all the time. Were the kids having tantrums because they weren't going on a lavish trip? Or, were they truly upset that Mommy was leaving them again?
Colin and Alexis didn't get to make the cake? Then other 4 went off with the camera guy?

I had to copy your post whole because it brought tears to my eyes.
Man, the way my parents would fawn over the little trinkets I'd get or make for them. It made me so happy and yes, you remember those things forever (one time, my dad told me I spelled Christmas wrong on the card I wrote for he and Mom, and I was crestfallen! It wasn't the norm, tho.)
You mom is a gem!
Fidosmommy (#14), your story choked me up. TFW just doesn't
seem to have that maternal chip in her brain.
For all of TFW's talk about "making memories," what the heck kind
of memories does she think C will have of his mother's 40th
birthday? Kids aren't impressed by fancy resorts when that's
all they've ever been exposed to. For all TFW knows, C's
most vivid memory of that vacation may be Mom hurting his
feelings because she didn't like his special gift.

I'm not surprised TLC started filming again. I think they will always do specials as long as they can.
But, I think it's inevitable that K+8 fatigue sets in again, whereby no matter how they try to ratchet up the drama, like the RV trip, the audience will start tuning out.
I mean, that Pizza Gate meltdown was EPIC, but it wasn't enough, and I think it's because people tire of Kate and her tiresome ingratitude and negativity.
You think maybe, just maybe she's changed, but nope.
MikeB said... 17

Thanks, MikeB. I'm betting this looks similar to just before K+8 was canceled.
My heart really does break for poor Collin. When my son was little he wanted to give us something for our anniversary. He only had $1 and he very carefully cut that dollar in half and gave us each half with a note that said "because I love you both equally" and he didn't want to spend more on one than he did on the other. I still have those bills and his note. Those are the memories that TFW is missing becasue it's not always about things.

You are so right Vanessa! His face even flushed with relief when he was able to purchase the mama bear & cub for his sorry excuse of a “mother.” I was holding my breath to see how she’d react when she opened it up & I wasn’t the least bit surprised by her reaction. What a pig!!
(Leslie)
I love it! In a year's time her ratings have dropped 1,300,000. Her ratings are a little less than half from over a year ago. And I am talking about her new 40th birthday special not the three hour rerun.
The average of the 10 shows is 1.4 million.

You're not the only one girl.

******************************
They didn't really show his reaction, more swiffering there I'm sure.
She didn't even have to "fawn" over it, that would be too much for that bitch really.
But did she have to have to criticize it, dismiss it ? Insinuate it was stupid and thoughtless. Sh really is an effing bitch. A F*cking Bitch!

Also who wants to see the same old story lines again and again?
Who wants to see an aging greedy mean b**h be mean to her kids? I hope TLC wises up soon and stop using the kids and the them finally have a life.
(Leslie)
One other comment, these low ratings should shout to TLC that out of country filming of Kate does NOT bring in the ratings. In fact her trip to Australia brought in very bad ratings too.

yes! for the love of God, that poor boy was fretting and stressing out over AN EFFING GIFT FOR THE MOTHER THAT HAS ABUSED HIM SINCE HE WAS A BABY?!! I just want to cuddle that boy, just curl him up and comfort him. He's always seated RIGHT BESIDE HER, he was UP FRONT with her in the dune buggy. Whoever posted upthread about her having the control over him, she can make or break him is absolutely right! She's got him right there and is at her mercy, however the wind blows she has total control of his well being, his feelings, his emotions. Stockholme.?
They didn't really show his reaction, more swiffering there I'm sure.
She didn't even have to "fawn" over it, that would be too much for that bitch really.
*******************************
Let me rephrase that.
She fawned and squealed and practically had an orgasm with the other gifts. With Colin's? "Oh" crickets crickets "Well where is everyone else?"
Tucker's Mom (20),
TLC is really putting some serious effort into trying to get ratings for K+8. More so than any of their other shows. The 9-minute preview, the K+8 marathon, the 3-hour special the night before, and the lead-in from The LIttle Couple should have set up any show to do well. But…it didn't. The same with all the promotion for the Mother's Day special.
I think that Kate has made it clear to TLC that she is willing to film the kids 24/7. She wants to go back to the old days of 40 episodes per year. And TLC needs something to fill the void left by the Duggars. I think they are trying to promote the heck out of K+8 to try to make it successful enough to take the place of 19 Kids. But no matter what they do, K+8's ratings just keep falling. They don't understand that, as you said, Kate fatigue sets in for viewers. Her antics just get tiresome after awhile, and there's no cute little kids or interesting story lines (weddings, babies, divorces) to bring interest. It's just birthdays and trips, over and over. Any viewer (except Milo) is going to get sick of that, fast. Which makes me think that TLC is going to eventually throw in the towel and bring the Duggars back. There's nobody else to fill the space they left behind.
Vanessa, I had written a comment earlier, calling her exactly that, but somehow, I hit a wrong key and my comment disappeared.
Katie Irene Kreider, you are the epitome of the C word. I can't wait until you get yours.
And I agree there is no way this resort reached out to her. Puhleeze bitch. All of this was contrived and arranged by someone at TLC; no way were they about to give her a girls' weekend in Mexico, or anywhere for that matter. Only thing that gets them ratings are the kids.
And I have zero words for her reaction to her son's birthday gift. Wait - I do have one - pig.

Thanks for the explanation.
Sadly, Kate's numbers are better than a lot of TLC's other shows are getting right now (she got into the Top 100) so for now, she's no doubt a keeper.
Kate's reaction to Collin's gift really shows how little she cares about him or his feelings. I'm sure he watched the show, and heard what she said about his gift. He probably was crushed. Poor little guy, he is desperate for her approval, but he never gets it. She is sadistic when it comes to him.
I saw a scene in the commercial where Kate is on the beach yelling at Collin, and he is shown heading out into some very rough-looking water. Any other mother would be charging down the beach after him, but not her. She sits there in her bikini and yells. I suppose she didn't want to get her hair wet trying to protect her son. She makes me ill.

THE C word.
So C & A didn't participate in the cake making/decorating? Was
there any explanation given for that? Was it a punishment,
or their own choice? "Their own choice" -- yeah, like that's ever
in the equation. I'd rank those 2 as TFW's least favorite
of her 8 kids, which is why I'm curious.
After flashing her bikini bod, I wonder if she was waiting by the
phone for Playboy to offer her a gig. A real offer -- not like the
one she lied about and Hefner confirmed as untrue.
Layla said...45...Any other mother would be charging down the beach after him,
------------------------------------------------
Pffft, that's what the crew daddies are for. Nobody cares if their hair gets wet.
Sometimes I wonder if TLC is damned if they do and damned if they don't. They, of anyone, know exactly what sort of monster they created in Katie Irene. They also know that left to her own devices, these kids will suffer from having no outside activities and nothing but the barest minimum of attention from her. I wonder if the thinking (if I can call it that) inside that network is, well, they're better off with US around than they would be if we ditched her ass and left them high and dry, as before. I realize TLC is totally bottom-line-oriented, but on the other hand? Like I said, they OWE these kids for having ponied up the $$$ for Kate's lawyers during the divorce AND having driven their father into the ground as punishment for daring to say NO MORE to filming. Maybe this is their way of trying to head off the lawsuits to come when the children figure out just how f**cked they were by their mother and a network.
Just a thought.
Found a great article I'd never read before-this one's for you, Vanessa!
:-)
"Yeah, you had a nursery bursting with cute babies. That was as addictive as puppy cam.
But the dynamic that made the show compelling viewing was Kate’s overwhelming narcissism. It was all about her and how she was reflected in the mirror of the TV camera. Everyone else – her husband, even her children – existed only as planetoids orbiting in her light."

It's shocking how this still rings true, years later. Truly, Kate hasn't changed a bit.
NJGal51...30...That is the sweetest story! Those are the jewels in a real parent's treasure chest.
When I got my parents' house ready to put on the market, I found my mom's treasure boxes under her bed - every construction paper card, dried bean mosaic and tissue paper flower my brother and I ever made for her were carefully tucked away. It still brings tears to my eyes to think of it.

Oh, heavens no! Kate wouldn't get the keratin extensions all nappy!
fidosmommy - What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hey, if anybody can post a clip of the birthday gift scene, I'd appreciate it.
Tucker's Mom (56)...
Oh, my gosh. Great story! Such memories! When I was about five, my friend's mother, who was our neighbor, took us shopping. I wanted to buy a Mother's Day gift. I had one dollar. I saw a pair of big rhinestone earrings that I thought were the most beautiful things in the world They were so shiny and looked like real diamonds (I probably thought that they were). I didn't have enough money, so the neighbor contributed! I purchased them, not realizing they were for pierced ears, which my mom didn't have and the neighbor didn't know. My mother never said a word about it, just told me over and over again how much she loved them. I later found out that she took them to the jeweler who removed the backings and converted them to clip earrings. She wore them, although I know she must have been embarrassed. They were so gaudy.
When I was going through her things when she was very ill and in hospice care, I found the earrings with a note "I want to take these with me." I couldn't stop crying. This is exactly what we did -- buried her wearing those earrings. It's what she wanted.
Every time I hear the song, "The Christmas Shoes" I have to think about those earrings.

Now I'm crying again. How beautiful.
As to poor Collin - why does his mother treat him so poorly? She is the meanest, most vile mother.
&&&&&&&&&
I sometimes wonder if she is still miffed at him for embarrassing her when she was told that he would have to be removed from school. Yes, Alexis was expelled also, but she's a girl, so Kate may have forgiven her. Collin is a boy and Kate doesn't like boys particularly ones who physically remind her of Jon.
Well, Deanna's an enabler and a "yes" person. Looks-wise, in her defense, I think she looks natural and hasn't gone for plastic surgery to enhance/fix anything.
&&&&&&&&
I didn't watch. Is she still bobbing her head?
OT! BE AWARE! PHONE SCAM!
This is important news I'm sharing with you guys, a heads up!
If you get a call on any of your phones, cell or landline, from this
#989-641-6089, if you have caller ID it probably will say Michigan. This is a scam. If you pick up, the person will give you some BS that your computer is infected by a virus, and that you need to go online and they will tell you how to fix it, and then want $177. from your credit card. They claim they are from Microsoft. Microsoft does not call people, do not give them any info, they will keep calling, let you answering machine do it's job. If your answering machine answers they do not leave a message. Be aware. I knew it was a scam, cause it was on the news a while back, I just got a call about 15 minutes ago, and my ID says Michigan, I do not know anyone from Michigan, they left no message.

I just saw the clip at the restaurant. Deanna was just stroking Kate's ego and prompting Kate to talk about Kate.
"What are the people who think Kate is so great doing when something like this happens? "
**************
There really is no *good* parent who will watch this interaction with C and feel the same way about her. Those who are still her fans and believe she is the gift of motherhood incarnate do the same exact thing. It takes a bit** to like a bit**.
Well, Deanna's an enabler and a "yes" person. Looks-wise, in her defense, I think she looks natural and hasn't gone for plastic surgery to enhance/fix anything.
**********
And, let's face facts, she is no visual competion for TFW, which suits K8 just fine.
Alexis and Collin are often left out of things or are stuck being Kate's 'partner' since the other kids avoid them. That's so sad they couldn't decorate the cake even if they had something else to do. As for Mady insulting the cake, did they need to show that? Mady has enough hate- she might not have said it, if she wasn't seeking on-air attention like her momma. This episode sounds both sad and boring. And why is Kate so silly about turning 40? We all do, if we are lucky enough to, as someone else said.
Well, I think Mady is a mini Kate. Kate, didn't like Colins gift, and Mady did not like the cakes that were made, she even said they were uneatable. It was the apple did not fall far from the tree.
When I was going through her things when she was very ill and in hospice care, I found the earrings with a note "I want to take these with me." I couldn't stop crying. This is exactly what we did -- buried her wearing those earrings. It's what she wanted.
==========
Oh my goodness, you all are sharing some beautiful stories. This is what loving moms do. What wonderful memories.
I'm not a crier, but thinking about Colin this morning really did bring me to tears. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy's love. How you could be Kate and not melt with love at his efforts? But no, as Vanessa said, she couldn't even fake indifference. She had to tear him down. She was sarcastic not once but twice -- once when he gave it to her and once on the couch so she could snicker about it to the whole world. As someone here said, anything for a laugh. She's hateful.
One of my sons, who reminds me a bit of Colin, loved to buy me little things at yard sales when he was young. Once he bought me a little white mug with faded red letters that said, "MOM the Greatest." Another time, he brought home a mug with giant lettering: "#1 TEACHER". (I homeschooled him.)
Recently I bought a relatively expensive handmade mug display case. In it, I put mugs from various vacations we've taken, unusual mugs and ... MOM the Greatest and #1 Teacher.

What were the ratings on the shows that led up to the cancellation of Kate Plus 8?
She was sarcastic not once but twice -- once when he gave it to her and once on the couch so she could snicker about it to the whole world. As someone here said, anything for a laugh. She's hateful.
))))))))))
And still the sheeple either ignore or deflect. How could any of them be parents and not notice her treatment of him? It just makes you want to bang your head on the wall.
They truly are in a cult existence. She has them brainwashed. The leader of the Peoples Temple had his followers blindly following him, and we know how that turned out.
Should we start a pool for when TFW will send a lovey-dovey
tweet about C? I'm surprised Gladys hasn't tried to refute
"Giftgate" yet: "KnowU were being playful w/C about present!
Of course U will cherish it!#PlayfulParent#Sensitive#LuvAll8
Speaking of Gladys, "Misery" is coming to Broadway with
Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf. That woman could read

They're to busy parsing their queen. IMO the sheep don't care about the kids one bit.
The sheep only care about their queen and what people can do to her their queen.
I loved Laurie Metcalf's guest appearance on Monk. She's great.

@auntieprise1701 @deannatweeting that’s my kid!:)
"that’s my kid!:) " Yes. Yes, she is. It's wonderful to be proud of such behavior and to think it's cute.
And the fan loves Mady's nasty comment? And of course Kate once again is ramming the knife in Jon's back with that first tweet. And look how many favorited it.
What a train wreck, all of it. The bright spot is the steady decline in the numbers, which is an undeniable downward trend. Thanks, MikeB, for posting them!
I'd love to hear Milo's justification for the downward spiral. C'mon, Milo, don't let us down.

Yupe called it she is so predictable.
Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf are an interesting pairing. I was watching an old Roseanne recently and there was Bruce Willis. He was in the section they show during the end credits. He says something about working next door. I had to look; it's Season 1 Episode 22. He's so very young. It would have been Moonlighting.
I wonder if Kate gave Collin a chance to apologize for his poor choice of a gift or if she just pulled him up by the hair and tossed him ... oh never mind.
Maybe she'll write another book and somewhere in there she can tell him that She Just Wants Him to Know that he'll never please her no matter how hard he tries.
My 12 year old daughter saw the scene with Colin and had me watch it because it upset her so much. She said "how can a mom be so mean?" It was truly the worst thing I've ever seen Kate do. I swear it seemed like she intentionally reacted in a negative way, and then the way she GUSHED over the gifts the other kids gave her made it even worse.
As for Mady, well, I recall Kate sitting on that interview couch saying how she'd never eat anything the kids made, referring to something Cara and Mady made, I think. Now her little parrot Mady is simply carrying on the horrible attitude.
Yes, it's true - Kate's parenting has never changed, because all she has ever done is direct others on what how she wants things done and complain about how exhausted she is from having to organize everything.
Deanna is the worst of Kate's "friends", because she truly is there only for Kate. At least to varying extents, Jamie, Carla, Ashley and Beth loved the kids and it was obvious they were tolerating Kate in order to be around the kids. Deanna appears to be tolerating the kids in order to be around Kate and it's disgusting. She may not have had any plastic surgery but her face definitely looks botoxed and chemically peeled. It was unnaturally smooth and makeup can't do that. She has a nice figure, though, and was a normal color.
I think Kate's tan is spray tan or a tinted lotion, because her skin looks better than it used to when she first discovered tanning. Maybe that's partially because she's not malnourished from the obsessive running and rabbit food. Either way, she needs to lighten up a couple shades. She would look younger if she did.
Speaking of Gladys, "Misery" is coming to Broadway with
Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf. That woman could read

Thanks for the heads-up. That's one I don't want to miss.
"Oh, Lord have mercy. Now she wants to babysit Carnie's children. How does she know Lola and Luci? When was she with them?"
&&&&&&&&&&
Sheesh! I remember when she was begging Kate to be the godmother of her first child. I wonder if she's pestering Carnie Wilson for the same honor with her second child.
I'm glad to hear that kate's ratings are dropping. I think while people are posting about the Duggar's they need to keep adding kate into it. The Duggar scandal is fresh...kate's abuse needs to be put in the spot light as much as it can be. When I'm commenting I try to bring up TLC's lack of protection or care for the children on their shows. They seem to turn a blind eye to kates physical abuse to the kids.
A post about kate came across my FB from TLC...I looked at the comments and most of them were scathing.
Shame on you TLC for rewarding child abusers like kate!

hmmm. What's wrong with this picture?
At the very least two fourteen-year-old girls should know their mother's birthday was coming up and taken it upon themselves to buy her something. Too bad all those kids couldn't find two nickels to rub together to get her a present without cameras being present. As usual, Kate's an effin' liar.
She doesn't give good rat's butt about how she treated her son. Nor does it matter that she's getting criticism about this. As long as her boobs in her bikini got dual billing front and center, she's a happy camper.

"He says something about working next door. I had to look; it's Season 1 Episode 22. He's so very young. It would have been Moonlighting."
-----------------------------
I remember that episode. It was called Dear Mom and Dad. He jumps into bed with Roseanne in the tag. She has no idea he is on the set. It's really funny.
When I'm commenting I try to bring up TLC's lack of protection or care for the children on their shows.
----------------------------------
TLC doesn't care. It is not a child protection agency. As long as the show is making money for them, they will keep on filming. It's sad, but those are the facts of life.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Yes! I was just about to say the very same thing. That was a wonderful Monk! O course, they all were wonderful.
I need a Sierra Springs.
Fidosmommy: love your story about the red earrings and how your mom wore them proudly with her red dress. Years ago my little brother and I made a gift for our mom - it was a little plaque that had a picture of the Madonna on it. We painted part of it over, then wrote "bless this mess" on it - and some of the letters were pretty messy because my brother did them = but my mom loved it. It remains perched right above the kitchen sink in the window all these years later. It's not pretty. It's not artistic. But we did make it with love and she loved it in return. That's how moms (and dads) usually react to a gift eagerly given to them by their child. Kate is so foul and poor Collin is going to need some serious therapy to realize there was nothing wrong with him - sadly, his own mother did not deserve his love, nor appreciate it. Bitch.
I have so many gifts, handmade cards, pictures and paintings that my son has given me over the years, and they are all treasured. He bought me an inexpensive kitchen mat two years ago that has a rooster on it. He had noticed that I love my rooster coffee mug and decided on his own to buy this little throw rug. I just love that kid so much.
Where did I read that Deanna is Kate's best friend? I seriously thought Jamie had held that title for years. Since Kate is still apparently speaking to Jamie, I wonder how Jamie feels about being displaced.
My heart aches for Collin. I remember that Gumgate was the point at which I began noticing K's cruelty to her children and to Collin in particular. She brags that her parenting hasn't changed. Kate, that is not a good thing. Change, growth and evolution are all good and indicate some introspection and a desire to improve.
Sadly, she will never change. She is a vicious shrew and will always be a vicious shrew and will remain proud of that fact.
Fidosmommy, I loved your story and all the stories of genuine maternal behavior which were shared here.
If that curtain twitcher Milo defends TFW, then there is no hope for her either.
My heart breaks for sweet Collin. He is enough/perfect just as he is, but she will never let him know it. She is breaking him. He is the targeted child in that household.
MikeB I'm betting next weeks episode of the tups turning 11 has higher ratings
=============
Probably but unfortunately they can't have the whole show to themselves. She will have to have her ass in every scene and be flapping her gums on the couch a lot.

OT! BE AWARE! PHONE SCAM!
This is important news I'm sharing with you guys, a heads up!
If you get a call on any of your phones, cell or landline, from this
#989-641-6089, if you have caller ID it probably will say Michigan. This is a scam. If you pick up, the person will give you some BS that your computer is infected by a virus, and that you need to go online and they will tell you how to fix it, and then want $177. from your credit card
******
I got a couple of these type calls last year, saying that I owed money and I'd better pay because I'd get a penalty if I didn't pay.
The second time they called, I picked up the phone and placed it in front of the tv where Julia Child was baking! They sputtered and stumbled and mumbled through their spiel and I think that was the last call.
Whenever you get a call like this, it's good to Google it and you'll probably find that you are among many to get this scam call.
This episode sounds both sad and boring. And why is Kate so silly about turning 40? We all do, if we are lucky enough to, as someone else said.
******
I read the blog that Vanessa linked and narcs are like this. Aging is a HUGE deal and they don't handle it gracefully.
Aging is a big deal to most of us, but the fact that Kate foists this upon her kids to the point of tedium is just wrong.
Oh my goodness, you all are sharing some beautiful stories. This is what loving moms do. What wonderful memories.
I'm not a crier, but thinking about Colin this morning really did bring me to tears. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy's love.
******
A couple months ago, DH and I were walking on a beach in Florida and came across a mom and her son, same ages as Kate and the boys. The were holding hands, just strolling and shelling.
It was so, so sweet.
There's a finite amount of time when boys show their sweet side like that. Pretty soon, they'll eschew such displays of affection, even if they love you just the same.
It's part of growing up and pulling away and becoming embarrassed in public.
Kate's hand holding is purely function, never affectionate.

Have those kids never made something for Kate? Why the big deal over them spending money on her?
Most moms love the little things their kids make.
Such a very, very odd thing to say.
"Yay, my kids are finally shopping for presents for ME!!"
I can not believe no one, not Jon, not a friend or another family member, never took those kids out to pick presents for Kate.
C'mon.
Yes, it's true - Kate's parenting has never changed, because all she has ever done is direct others on what how she wants things done and complain about how exhausted she is from having to organize everything.

I took this statement as yet another defiant dig- at Jon, Rep. Murt, Paul Peterson and anyone who's tried to interfere with her filming the crap out of her kids, or has criticized her selling their privacy for fame and money.
It was like, "see, I'm still doing what I want to do. I'm still the boss, so F-U!".
Thanks for posting that article Tucker's Mom. He had her pegged perfectly.
PJ-yes she is theee perfect "see you next thursday" agree agree AGREE
Deanna sounds like a 16 yr old valley girl. You know, the stupid kartrashian speak? She sounds like this
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/videos/kardashian-sisters-on-snl/
Only instead of talking about herself, she's blowing smoke up that bitch's flat ass
She was sarcastic not once but twice -- once when he gave it to her and once on the couch so she could snicker about it to the whole world. As someone here said, anything for a laugh. She's hateful.
***************************************************
Yes, remember in her glory days? When her recounting of the footage we all just saw was the total opposite of what just happened?
She didn't do that here. She had the opportunity to make a feeble attempt at damage control, but reasserted that the gift was stupid.
And what exactly did she mean "where is everyone else?"
That comment proved beyond a doubt that the tups are, and always be considered one entity, a six pack.
Tucker's Mom (#98), I, too, don't believe for a nanosecond that
those children never once purchased something for their mother.
She knows darn well Jon isn't going to refute it, so she can get
away with saying it.
And the tweet about it was so incredibly phony. As if that gift
segment on the show was just a lark -- a last-minute idea
that was coordinated out of the goodness of Deanna's heart:
"Gosh, my friend is a single mom, and works her fingers to
the bone, and gives gives gives, and never gets anything
in return. Lightbulb -- I'll take her children to buy her gifts!
I'll even give them the money for it! That'll make her super
happy!"
Do you know the planning that went into that shopping jaunt?
Permits and releases and transportation and craft services
set up outdoors. All coordinated ahead of time -- weeks,
if not months. Those pesos Deanna gave the kids were
probably handed to her in an envelope by a production
assistant, as part of the budget for the episode. Planned -
every last phony moment of it.
Excuse my babbling...C getting his heart broken again by
that shrew has me so angry and frustrated. Poor little dude.
About turning 40, "growing older is empowering and I want to go rocketing into my 40th birthday!", said Kate Winslet this morning on the Today Show.
Goals? Learn French, and to garden.
What a start contrast to a self-absorbed, self-pitying narc.
Winslet loves her curves, and looks absolutely gorgeous. She's not obsessed with being as thin as she could be when she was 20. You're body changes, and you can either embrace it in a healthy manner, or become obsessed with everything you put in your mouth.
I'm so glad she has all these memories recorded. It will make it easier for the kids when they go into therapy. No question of false memories. They'll have it all on film.
It takes a special kind of bitch, no?
A bitch who enjoys hurting a child, demeaning a child, bullying a child?
Those dead eyes if hers actually had some spark to them on the couch.,reaffirming her belief the gift didn't make sense. And wanting confirmation from the camera guy and her captivated audience

Fans suspend reality and buy Kate's lies and innuendos hook, line and sinker. Each episode is carefully crafted, planned and executed to form a story.
The producers and editors nudge, guide and outright manipulate situations to fit the story arc and character development.
What never happens is spontaneously living, with the crew just following in tow, happening to catch things as they happen.
There is a rigid filming schedule and the cast (which is what the kids are) have to be on their marks in order to get the episodes done.
In this day and age, you're an idiot if you don't get this and believe those kids are just running in and out of frame.
Tucker's Mom - I loved Getting On! I read that it was renewed for a 3rd (and final) season.
http://tvline.com/2015/01/01/cable-tv-shows-renewed-cancelled-2015/#
IMO, Deanna will be TFW's bestie as long as TLC, CA or any other show is paying her to travel as TFW's personal make-up artist. Once that gig is over so is the friendship. Let's face it, this looks good on Deanna's resume and a girl's gotta work after all. She doesn't care about TFW or the kids. She'll say (and do) whatever they tell her.
P.J. (#104), yes, the only upshot of such abuse captured on camera
is that those children will be armed with plenty of documentation
of their mother's deplorable behavior. No "he said, she said" --
the evidence is right there on film.
But something tells me at some point TFW will blame TLC for
she said and did. She will never accept responsibility for
her bad behavior. So she may have to claim they wanted her to
ramp up the drama for ratings. And since the show was the ONLY
way to feed her poor 8 babies, what else could she do?
I see that Kate was listed as the producer of this latest show. I think it was one of the worst ones they have done yet..lots of boob close ups too. When they were snorkeling, they all waded out into the water, even Kate. It showed a couple of the kids swimming with the snorkel gear on. Then they showed them leaving the water..Kate was with them, but she was the only one whose hair was still dry..didn't figure she was going to get it wet, plus she has said that she can't swim. I worry about the kids in the pool at home, with no adult around who swims..maybe she doesn't let them in the water unless a baby sitter who can swim is there?
It must be weird for the kids...nothing is real. Everything they do is just part of the script. And they're starting to be old enough to realize it. And feel probably manipulated by it.
Except for poor little Colin, who genuinely wanted to show his mom some love.
You feel like he's the most genuine of the bunch. The girls are all hamming it up for the cameras, and the two other boys have checked out.
Then there's Colin, with his loving heart. You just cry for him.
Sorry to hear Getting On is ending after season 3. It's such a great show.
*We also get canvassers, young people concerned about water pollution, green forests, magazine subscriptions etc to help toward their education...many have been found to be canvassing homes for easy window access, purses and valuables lying around, who is home, if the door is locked, checks in the mailbox. Sad. Our 'safe' neighborhood has had several incidents of vandalism and petty theft already
About the phone call scam as related in Comment #60 - I'd like to relate how I handled a call I received from (supposedly) Microsoft.
The caller said he was phoning from Microsoft and that I should turn on my computer immediately and he would walk me through what had to be done to correct the "problem" that had been "detected".
I knew right away Microsoft would never make a call like this but I kept him on the line thanking him profusely for this wonderful service. I kept on and on about I never would have known there was anything wrong and was so grateful that he was willing to help me.
After several minutes of this he became almost hysterical and yelled at me, "Lady, just turn on your computer!!!!". I told him I had two computers and asked which one I should turn on. He yelled again, "Turn on both of them".
I thanked him again and said that I would have to put the phone down while I went to turn both computers on. He told me to be quick about it because further "damage" was being done as we spoke.
I put the phone down but left him hanging on the line. After a couple of minutes I checked the phone and sure enough he had hung up, having fallen for my own little scam.

The gift didn't make sense? WTF Kate. Your child told you what it represented, which was very special to him and as usual, she shot him down. She screams and is over the top with everyone else's and then has that snarky comment on the couch. She is a bitch. I believe she hates Collin and he for sure is the targeted child.

I know my mom keeps/kept boxes of stuff me and my brothers made for her. Kate on the other hand I bet she tosses it all.
Yes, Kate has said she isn't water-ish. For someone with a POOL and all these beach vacays, that's weird. I guess she is bikini-ish though! Her in a too-small bikini with baked tan is different I'm sure from most of us in decent swimming apparel ( not Duggar style!) to be with our kids or on national TV,lol

Your comment reminded me of how delighted she was at playing a trick on the kids by telling them she was going to Mexico without them. She said it was so mean, or something, but so wonderful. Gawd, she's awful.
And what exactly did she mean "where is everyone else?"
That comment proved beyond a doubt that the tups are, and always be considered one entity, a six pack
============
He didn't purchase seven (or five) additional little cubs. The thought that Colin might want to represent himself alone with his mom was abhorrent to her. She couldn't hide it. She didn't want to. His stupid choice was too entertaining to her and surely the audience would get a good laugh over it, too? So she has to be sure to point it out twice. That's how her mind must work.
I had forgotten that the book was dedicated to Colin and that gumgate was also Colin. So it's not only longstanding abuse of a sweet little boy, but it's abuse that's marketed as television entertainment.
Bubbles 12-year-old daughter could see it was wrong, but all the producers were probably gleeful that there was some Kate drama. If Colin got his feelings hurt, well that's part of the show! And the fans thought it was cute or what? How do they justify it?
Kate and TLC are repulsive. I THINK the dropping ratings are showing that her jig is up. I pray that Kate is aware of those ratings and is dealing with the dawning realization that her days of drawing in 10 million ("See the divorce live and in color!") are over.
Hey, Kate, you're getting OLD! Your kids are getting OLDER! Karma may not be coming to you as a speeding train (as we'd all hoped) but as a slowly ticking clock.

LOL! I love it. I have a friend whose teenage daughter fell for this scam.
Chef (#117), remember when TFW threw the kids' Sunday
school art projects out? Just tossed 'em in the trash.
I have no reason to think that bear and cub her son
lovingly purchased for her didn't end up there, too.
Of course, now that there's been backlash, we'll
probably see it carefully placed in the shot of her
next tweeted picture -- if it wasn't left in Mexico
in the hotel's garbage can.
I wonder if Kate is still 'punishing' Collin and Alexis for their Kindergarten expulsion which surely embarrassed her. Wouldn't be surprised. To me, these two seem the most likeable of all the kids.

Kate can swim. I think she doesn't like being in water and most of all, getting her hair wet. She gets blow outs for filming and that can take a good chunk of time with her hair situation.

And there's the infamous scenes of poor Collin in the furniture store wanting his mommy because he was so constipated and uncomfortable and she was ignoring him. Now I see that she wasn't so interested in the catalog she was thumbing through. She was punishing him for...being him.
Reading about the Mexican birthday trip make me think of UnREAL, the surprising summer series that is so entertaining! The producer Quinn yelling at her staff, "Get me an episode!" And " we are selling true love here people!". The manipulations done by the on site staff when talking to the contestants on this faux Bachelor show. The rumors and innuendo and direct instructions done so contestants will give them some good footage that can be edited into what ever story they want to tell. Ignoring their on site psychologist advice about a constant with an eating disorder. "What if she passes out?". "Then we have film of the other girls finding the villain lying in her own vomit. The audience will love it!"
The producers must love this. If they can't sell tfmjg the loving mother, they can get people riled up and talking about the show by selling tfmjg the bitch!

This is an alarming number of photographed or filmed incidents. And how many happen in the privacy of her home?
Remember this one:
“On January 15, Kate was seen grabbing Collin after picking up him and his siblings from school at around 2 p.m. ‘Collin started talking to people around them, and Kate wanted him to keep quiet. She looked like she was about to lose it and smacked Collin in the face and then held his mouth!’ an onlooker tells In Touch, adding, ‘All I know is that I wouldn’t treat a 5 year-old like that…’” the report in InTouch reads."
The photo of her doing it is there too.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Kate-Gosselin-Caught-Smacking-Child-in-the-Face-132955.shtml
So Colin gave Kate a momma bear and she didn't "get" it? How many times has she referred to herself as a momma bear!
My impression of Colin is that he is a very bright, articulate young man and probably a lot smarter than his mother. He challenges Kate and she doesn't know how to deal with it. She bullies him because she is afraid of him. She will end up being the big loser in this relationship.
My heart goes out to Colin.

Re scam calls: the dh got one last week. He is a computer techie type, but he enjoyed scamming the scammer. I'm sure he thought of some inane questions and let the guy talk and do his spiel. Then hung up like they got cut off. Guy called back, the dh told him it wasn't a convenient time, could he call back again on the eleventeenth of never in 2025.
I'm boring, I just hang up. I will have to try the leaving the phone off the hook in front of the tv.

It takes a special kind of bitch, no?
A bitch who enjoys hurting a child, demeaning a child, bullying a child?
Those dead eyes if hers actually had some spark to them on the couch.,reaffirming her belief the gift didn't make sense. And wanting confirmation from the camera guy and her captivated audience
:::::
Your comment reminded me of how delighted she was at playing a trick on the kids by telling them she was going to Mexico without them. She said it was so mean, or something, but so wonderful. Gawd, she's awful.
******
I don't even tease my dogs like that.
It's one thing to tell your kids it's Christmas when it's not, when they're 3. Wrong, but not psyche damaging.
The relevance of that example, when given at the Rep. Murt hearing by Kevin and Jodi, was that if things continue, how are the children going to handle the the tricks played on them for the sake of filming?
It's like they had a crystal ball to see into the future!

Yes, Kate has said she isn't water-ish. For someone with a POOL and all these beach vacays, that's weird. I guess she is bikini-ish though! Her in a too-small bikini with baked tan is different I'm sure from most of us in decent swimming apparel ( not Duggar style!) to be with our kids or on national TV,lol
*******
I would cover up out of simple decency for filming. I'm naturally endowed and I don't let that much boobage show, but that's me.
Some women are comfortable letting it all hang out.
Still, for filming, I would have some decorum.
You also won't find me with full hair and makeup! I like to wear hats and bandanas.
What I'd love to know is how long that beach scene (crab!!!! bed on the beach!!!!) really lasted...
There's a woman at "my" pool that isn't waterish, but she'll always there in a nice bikini, tanning like the dickens!
Never, I mean, EVER have I seen her put a toe in the water. She just brings her kids (or sometimes not) and lays out, tanning.
I swear to Pete, she is going to be that tanned leather purse from There's Something About Mary in a few years!
I put the phone down but left him hanging on the line. After a couple of minutes I checked the phone and sure enough he had hung up, having fallen for my own little scam.

You know I think Kate is starving herself, to stay thin. Did anyone notice, that her collar bones are becoming more noticeable, of recent. There is a pic of her, on her TL, where you can read her fans posts as well as hers, the pic is her sitting and they are bring the cakes the kids made, her collar bones are showing, and her neck is hollow, that is signs of over dieting. That is probably why Kate is tired all the time, she does not eat properly. All in the name of fame. Yeah, I don't want to hear from her or anyone, well, she is a nurse. Yeah, a nurse on paper, not a practicing one. And as the phrase goes: nurses are their own worse enemy. Like doctors.

He didn't purchase seven (or five) additional little cubs. The thought that Colin might want to represent himself alone with his mom was abhorrent to her. She couldn't hide it. She didn't want to. His stupid choice was too entertaining to her and surely the audience would get a good laugh over it, too? So she has to be sure to point it out twice. That's how her mind must work.

I have Erma Bombeck's "When God Created Mothers" cut from a magazine which has been in my jewelry box for a lot of years, long before we had computers or printers. I can't remember which magazine it came from but anyway, I just reread it.
Breaking your child's spirit was not one of His specifications.
Tucker's Mom (#132), it seems to me TFW has been quoted
saying things about what's "appropriate" for a mother to wear.
Just not sure where "in a bikini when everyone else is dressed,
exposing her body to a million TV viewers" fits in. Would she
frolic around Farmer Henry's stand like that?
I think the psychology of it was, hey, I may be 40, but check
out my de-aging body! It she invested a fraction of the attention
she puts on her physical appearance into her kids...
Tucker'smom: This is reality fantasy. You know as well as I know that real people: the mundanes/normal/average/everyday/mediocre people, who go to the beach, do not get dolled up to go to the beach. I go to the beach to go into the water, play on the sand, and get my hair wet. My hair will for all intents and purposes, will get in it, ocean/lake water, so salt or green water, suntan lotion, and sand. I do not go to the beach to do a fashion show. I could careless what you have on. I'm there to have fun. I do not lay in the sun, I can do that if I want to, at home. Which I don't cause I burn very easily. I would not travel hundreds of miles to lay in the sun. It's the same sun no matter where you are on the planet.
Kate, only goes to the beach cause:
1. they are filming
2. the kids
3. to show off yet another bathing suit
4. her hair
5. that tree trunk body of hers
6. to show off, look at me! I gave birth to 8, and with work & money, not work outs you can have a body like this. But, you don't have money, so look at me, and be jellus! envious! Idolize me!
Kind of like in the old days of Hollywood, women who sat around any pool, they never went in, but wore sun hats, and expensive bathing suits, and lots of suntan lotion.
I remember, a scene from a movie, and the guy asked this girl who was sitting by the pool at a hotel, if she would like to go into the pool, and she said: are you nuts, this bathing suit costs $200, it does not get wet. It's for show, not swim.
Would she
frolic around Farmer Henry's stand like that?
&&&&&&&&&&
Well, bright purple is a favorite color among the Amish.
Mady and Cara don't seem vain about their looks- don't wear make-up or insist on contact lenses.Hannah and Leah seem more into what they wear and have their ears pierced. wonder why the discrepancy. You'd think Kate would drum into their heads that appearances are everything...glad the older girls are comfortable in their own skin, on TV..
That is probably why Kate is tired all the time, she does not eat properly.

Yes not getting enough nutrition and drinking enough water can make you very weak.
Joy in Virginia: Reading about the Mexican birthday trip make me think of UnREAL, the surprising summer series that is so entertaining! The producer Quinn yelling at her staff, "Get me an episode!" And " we are selling true love here people!". The manipulations done by the on site staff when talking to the contestants on this faux Bachelor show. The rumors and innuendo and direct instructions done so contestants will give them some good footage that can be edited into what ever story they want to tell.
*******************************************
I love this show. I just watched last night and the Bachelor was letting the show film at his winery but when they got there it was in shambles. He expected the production company to fix it up for him before they started filming. Who does that sound like?
Collin seems catatonic at times, such as on the couch or just sitting at the table. Joel dismissed him somewhat harshly on the couch when Collin spoke to him. He and Alexis didn't get to make the cakes. The shopping scene was odd and sad. He found the bear and seemed unusally sad when he couldn't afford it and what I though was not an appropriate response when the shop keeper let him have it. Meaning his response was over the top with gratitude. Almost a feeling of desperation. And then the way Kate dismissed it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen her do. Definilty a top worst moment admin. This scene resonated with me. It moved me and not in a good way. Between Mady's over the top attitude and her manic behavior, Leah and Hannah both seem like kids I would want to be around about 5 minutes, and watching how Collin and Alexis are treated, it makes me sick. How any of those kids will be the least bit normal when they are grown is beyond me. They are far from normal kids at this point. Kate has rubbed off them. The kids have fears, attiutudes and neurosis from her. Maybe Joel and Aaden have a chance. This was thee worst episode of K8. It showcased her feelings towards her kids, their awful, awful behavior and hers. And in despite all of the things I just listed, the filming and editing was terrible. The episode had no flow.
Disgusted
There is a pic of her, on her TL, where you can read her fans posts as well as hers, the pic is her sitting and they are bring the cakes the kids made, her collar bones are showing, and her neck is hollow, that is signs of over dieting.
&&&&&&&&&&&
I noticed her hollow neck, too, but I think it's just the angle of the photo and the position of her head and upper torso. I went back and looked at the photos of her at the table signing autographs at the recent block party and it isn't nearly as noticeable there.
Growing up in a beach town on the Jersey Shore we used to make fun of those women that came to the beach with full hair and make-up. We knew that they were bennies and if they were at the edge of the water watching kids or whatever we would run by and splash them just for the hell of it. Growing up there we knew just how to run in the water to create the biggest splash! So yeah, we would have made fun of TFW and she would have been wet whether she wanted to be or not. Yeah, we were little hellions!
Tucker's Mom - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is the ringtone that I have set on my phone for when my husband calls. Love that song!

If that happens to me, I'll just put on a YouTube of Kate's voice and let them listen to that. That should ruin their entire day.
I would cover up out of simple decency for filming. I'm naturally endowed and I don't let that much boobage show, but that's me.

Still, for filming, I would have some decorum.
&&&&&&&&
But if you pay for 'em, then why not let it all hang out? What would be the purpose of the surgery (and cost) if you're just going to cover them up? Those girls need air and exposure. They are huddled masses yearning to be set free. Rumor has it that they are known as the Statue of Liberty twins.
Ugh if she's so embarrassed of her scrotummy, then why wear a bikini and try to hide it in its exposed wrinkliness? She looked the fool trying so hard to be sexy. She just isn't.
Agree, Karen. She'd look better in a one piece- she could still flaunt the twins.I remember one unflattering shot of her backside in a bikini bottom. A nice one-piece could camouflage a lot of that and her tummy and odd bellybutton.
Did Deanna rock a bikini too? The twins?
That purple topped bikini is OLD. 2010!!! (or did she grift a bunch of the same color?)
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-gosselin-wears-bikini---during-mexico-trip-with-bodyguard-2010139
Did they show her in any other ones?
This was thee worst episode of K8. It showcased her feelings towards her kids, their awful, awful behavior and hers. And in despite all of the things I just listed, the filming and editing was terrible. The episode had no flow.
::::::::
I agree, it was the worst. Her narcissism was oozing out of every pore. She was giddy that the show was all about her. She had her toadies...I mean good friends to manage the kids, decorate her house, get her cake, steer her through the airport, lots of beach time to show off her tan and bazoooom and a night out where she could forget she ever had kids, and she had the added bonus of her brain-dead fans to tell her how young she looked. She would love, love, love every show to be just like that one--Kate Plus Kate Plus Kate, All Kate and Nothing But Kate, fun episodes like Kate an Zorro, Kate's Cleavage, Zorro in Kate's Cleavage, Kate's Hair, Kate's Tan, Kate's Spa Day, I'm Too Sexy Kate.
The only thing that came out of that horrendous debacle were fairly bad ratings. I'm sure, with the build up TLC gave it with a 3 hour long NOTspecial, they were expecting the show to pull them out of the dumpster of low ratings. I don't think #100 of the Top 100 was their goal.
The other day I got a call from a phone scammer and my name and number showed up on the call display. They said they were going to give me a better rate on my credit cards. Well, I NEVER carry a balance and I know these companies don't call you. I got a live person and tried to question him and he hung up on me. I called my phone company and they said it's called spoofing and there's nothing they can do about it.
Here's my proposal. I would love to see this go viral. I'm calling this campaign Blowing the Whistle on Telemarketers and Phone Scammers.
I'm buying a whistle at the dollar store or where ever I can find one. When I get a live person on the line, I'm going to blow that whistle for all I'm worth. If I can't stop them calling, they're going to pay the price.
In Canada we have a Do Not Call Registry, but these scumbags ignore it. I've got 99 numbers blocked on my home phone and the calls just keep coming. If everyone in Canada and the U.S. "blew the whistle" maybe we could put an end to this once and for all.
Curious as to what the reason was that Colin and Alexis didn't get to make the cake.
Was it a punishment? Does she not trust what the camera will capture with those 2 if she's not there?
Poor kids looked so left out when their siblings were talking about making the cakes. Looked left out? Oh, yeah, they WERE left out
PA Dutch Mom (148)
You're joking right?? I started laughing as I read that her boobs need " air and exposure". Hell she should just go topless!! Those puppies need to get out!! LOL. I'm 5' 7" tall and have had c cup boobs since I was 14 years old. Even though I got compliments for them I never felt I needed to expose them in a bikini even though my belly button is in the right place.
I really don't care what anybody wears. It's just that I can't stand that baby/ puppy abuser, horrific mother, lazy, egotistical, fame/ money whore, boyfriend and husband snatcher, liar, just plain annoying bitch. Even if she covered herself up from head to toe!

About the phone scammers (don't you love how we talk about all kinds of things here?!) - About a year or so ago we changed Internet, tv and landline providers and almost immediately noticed a huge uptick in the number of scam calls we were receiving. We went from one or two a week to several daily. I've since learned that others who switched providers noticed this also, although, of course, the provider denies selling info. I religiously reported the numbers that appeared on caller id to donotcall.gov but didn't think they were doing much until I had a call from them about 3 months ago asking if I'd be willing to complete an affidavit as they were suing one of the home repair scammers who called several times. The system works, just very slowly and probably not very completely. We get the Microsoft call about once a week and we're a total Apple home. If I have time I ask the caller for his/her name and phone number just in case we get cut off and after they give it I let them know I'll be reporting them. Or I just hang up. Oh, and sometimes say some not so choice words!

Those scammers must have been really busy. I also got one of the calls, and decided I would mess with them. I pretended to be very upset that my computer had been infected with a virus and was SO grateful that they were there to help me. I assured them I was logged in and sitting in front of my computer, and asked them to please help me! We got to the point where he asked me if I could see the drop down menu on the bottom left of my screen, and I was so excited to say YES! He was trying to tell me the next step, but I interrupted and asked him to wait so I could read to him what was on the menu to be certain I was doing it correctly. He finally agreed.
I then said, ''The menu says...''Who the fuck do you think you are talking to? If you are going to scam anyone you really must learn to speak better English because you are a complete failure with this scam!!'' Then I laughed and laughed at him sputtering. He finally hung up. It was a LOT of fun!!

I'm getting out my whistle. It may not do anything, but I know I'll be laughing after I blow their ears off.
The more I read about how desperately Colin tried to please his mother with his birthday gift, and her vile response, the sicker I feel. And Mady needs some serious counseling to help her get over her need to constantly put down and demean her younger siblings. It's getting uglier by the year. Hard to know what Cara is thinking/feeling, as she has chosen to become the silent one, just along for the ride.

I think Cara did say something like "Oh, that's nice" as in, wth?
And Mady was "♪whaaat?♪" all "valley-ish"
Lately we've had calls that show up on caller ID as our own phone number, area code and all. I don't know how scammers are pulling this off but I don't answer it.
I think the greatest concern is when they get hold of parts of the elderly population who still think the world is an honest place and who aren't savvy to the dangers that accompany technology. They willingly give their credit card number on the promise that their interest rate will be lowered if agree to increase their credit limit.
I wonder if Mady realizes if it weren't for the 6 younger kids she would not attend a private school, live in a huge house, have paid trips, parties, her own room, even though the girls had to move out of it, and all the perks in the world that she receives. She sure is just like her mother. I think Cara is just marking time for when she goes to college and never comes back.

We know that Kate physically abused her babies because she told us in her journals but we don't know if she still does. What we do know is that she plays cruel mind games with those kids. It doesn't matter if she has a TV show or not. While those kids live under that roof with Kate as their mother she will have favorites, ignore some, and be a cold hearted unloving mother to one or more. What did she say" I'm in control and that's never going to change'. Unfortunately I don't think Kate adapts well to change. Very sad to see that happening in front of our eyes.

The fortunate kids will be the ones to go to college and break free of the reality tv merry go round-lifestyle. Some others, I can almost guarantee, will continue down the same path in hopes of easy money and fame.
The latter is going to come at a very high price.

I don't get TLC but went to their website and saw a clip of the mud buggying. She did not drive slowly to protect her children, she drove slowly to suck the fun out of the experience for them. That is her M.O., crush their egos while ruining anything that puts in second place. She is a vile human being.
I wonder if Mady realizes if it weren't for the 6 younger kids she would not attend a private school,
((((((((((((
The twins attended the school before their younger siblings were raking in the money. They had gotten financial aid there when they were in first grade, so yes, they probably would be in private school.
It's hard to know if the older girls would rather live a "normal" life and not live in a fish bowl and put on display. Maybe those perks aren't worth it to them and the big house, trips, and freebies aren't all that they're cracked up to be.
foxy ( 166 )
Exactly. Someone needs to remind Mady that she should be grateful and nicer to her younger brothers and sisters. Kate 's not going to do it but where's Jon??
I do not believe Kate cares what anyone thinks of her parenting or how she lives her life and treats her kids. She only wants to remain a "star" in her own mind and enjoy the fruits of filming on TLC. She has no self awareness and is smiling all the way to the bank each time she gets to appear on television. The eight kids are her vehicle to fame. Now, she doesn't even have to share the limelight with Jon, their father. Despicable situation. If she really thought Colin's gift was funny and behaved as such, there is no word horrible enough to describe such a person. Pathetic piece of work is the best I can come up with. There is still no evidence of any gratefulness coming out of the woman. Arrogant to the max. It is obvious why all those "best" friends have dropped off over the years. Kate is the common denominator in all of that. No decent person could stand being around her for long. Still sad for the kids.

Mady has always been highly affected by the presence of cameras. She's hyper-aware of being filmed, and her behaviors amplify often. She also seems to feel the need to "feed" material to the people filming her, from writhing on the basement floor, to rolling her eyes, scoffing, kicking birthday balloons to now, silly non sequiturs like the carnival booth.
I understand why Mady is doing it. I also get that she knows that filming her is a safe way to vent how unhappy she's been since the tups arrival.
What I don't get is how Kate is missing the signs.
Mady's behaviors have never been cute, rather, they've been worrisome.
Arrogant to the max. It is obvious why all those "best" friends have dropped off over the years. Kate is the common denominator in all of that.

She stressed that Deanna is her "best" friend and has been for EIGHT (eye roll) years and that she doesn't have to watch what she says in front of her, she doesn't have to choose her words (or something like that)

It's so odd. Would 't you think it would be the opposite? That she would be on her best behavior, especially if she were aware of prior backlash?
And then she was doing her "I will not be outdone!" battle cry in the dune buggy. Taking all the glory she feels she's due. Or the glory she feels all activities entail., Couldn't let it be fun for Cara, noooooo, had to make it yet again, as always about her. That smug little look on her face.

Deanna probably sees it as a point of pride and how good a person she is when she shows loyalty, including secret keeping.
I bet Deanna likes that Kate needs her and that she is Kate's valiant friend, for who else would have the qualities to fill such big shoes?
Plus, in her line of work, discretion is essential. You don't dish on your clients for fear of being blackballed.
I think it means 1000x more to be Kate's trusted friend, because Kate is famous.
re-posting re: call assholes
There is a free app call Mr. Number. It apparently works in every contintent, myn friends in Australia LOVE it!
It is simple and free. you install, and it allows calls thorough. but if a number comes through members have complained about, it will supercede your screen and say Mr. number suspicious number deted. Do not pick up.
Then you go to the app, and you can see what everyone has posted about it.
If you get a call, a scam, without Mr. Number knowing, you hang up, go to app and say what it was.
The first month I installed it it notified me every couple of days, I went to app and replied, Never answered. has been months since any unknown number called me.
It is completely free and works for me, and, no, not getting paid, just want to spread the peace

I think the cameras bring out the worst in M.

It's so odd. Would 't you think it would be the opposite? That she would be on her best behavior, especially if she were aware of prior backlash?

Two reasons I'd think. She's the kind of person who will show off or play up to an audience with the cameras and producer being the audience here and bad behavior gets attention in that family. And she needs attention. I would also attribute some of it to editing and multiple takes. She may have said nice things in a previous take.
Watched with my daughter. Our take on the dune buggy ride with Cara? TFW seemed angry to us. Like Cara had hurt her feelings with the "too slow" teasing and Kate was going to teach her a lesson. We suspected Kate was trying to make Cara cry. But most of those kids have her number and no way was Cara going to cry uncle.
Also, must confess whenever I read TFM, I interpret it as The Former Man. The purse toting, balls busted, no moral character, cheating Former Man.
Lalalalala, I watched a video with the Sentry. Looks like too much work. I also don't feel like paying that kind of money to stop people from phoning my home. I'm going to stick to my dollar store whistle. Good lung exercise.

It's SO EASY!! It blocks calls coming in but if it's someone you know or a legitimate phone call then all they have to do is press 0. You can accept or reject future phone calls. Hard? Nothing has ever been easier.
BTW, the Sentry call blocker cost me $39.00. That's it.
This is totally off topic, but I hope someone here will answer my request for information.
My husband and I are planning a trip to Europe next year, probably in Sept or Oct. We're looking to stay about 30 days and would like it to be a guided trip, with some built-in time for us to do things on our own. I've done searches and I'm not getting any good referrals. Most trips are only for 15 days or less.
So if you know a good travel agent or company that does this sort of thing, please let me know. Not looking for Google results, but hoping to get a referral from personal experience. Thank you.
