Recap: Kate Plus 8 ''Blind Date": Realitytvkids.com dating tips and more!

Coming up on The Bachelorette! Er, I mean Kate Plus 8.

Hanger on Deanna is playing the role of the well-meaning but completely misguided friend who wants to set you up, which is just a front for the producers going through a couple hundred head shots and picking this guy out. His first meeting with Kate is awkward, explains Kate. Made more awkward still by Deanna being right there in the middle introducing them like it's 6th grade. Deanna tells hot-stuff that Kate has eight kids. I kind of feel like that's something you should mention to the guy before you set him up with her. It's not an insignificant detail that you can get into later, like you prefer Netflix and chill on the weekends, or you can drive stick shift. And can't you just meet outside Starbucks with instructions that say hey I'm the guy in the green hat and you're the girl with the polka dot skirt, like normal blind dates?

Mr. Swipe Right is cute if I may say so! He unbuttons not one but two of his shirt buttons. He waxes his chest. He drinks out of little tiny tea cups.

Kate claims she has gone on a handful of dates since the divorce. Heh, no she hasn't. Kate is quite vague about how Deanna knows Vann, because she knows him mostly from his head shot, but his resume sounds good. He went to Annapolis (good heavens!). I think it's absolutely f--ing hilarious that as Kate is explaining all this, they show a photo of her with her BFF Jamie. As we know, the running joke, or maybe even truth, is that Kate's relationship with Jamie might not always have been platonic. They have admitted they've slept in the same bed, and there are a number of bootleg photos circling out there for years showing them acting very huggy-kissy. That is truly brilliant editing and has to be intentional. It just has to be. We get the joke, Vann's really just auditioning as Kate's beard. Buh-bum--ching!

More and more Kate has been appearing on camera without a stitch of make-up on, which is not what I would expect from someone like her. Deanna's coming down from New York and will do Kate's hair and make-up and take her up to New York for the date. Who's going to watch the kids? And don't they know the cardinal rule of first dates, the guy should come to her? 

They're doing a wha-what???? A helicopter ride? Well, what the heck, on my last date I only got some Thai food and a game of corn hole.


I don't trust a damn thing Kate says about what the kids have said about this date so I'm just going to ignore her recap of what she claims they said and cut straight to the kids. They're old enough to speak for themselves. Mady says with quite a bit of sass it's good for Kate to date and find a husband so she won't die alone. Heh, well that's one reason to find companionship. Meanwhile the younger kids think she's far too old to date. I love how when you're a kid 40 feels like 80, and 20 is at best, 40. Conversely, the older you get the younger people look, right? I can still remember being a freshman in college and how old and important I felt, but look at freshmen now and they are absolute babies. Goo-goo-gaa-gaa babies! Perception is so interesting. All in all none of these kids seem to mind her going on a date. Most of them are at best indifferent, and those who do care actually seem pretty selfless about this, just wanting Kate to find somebody. They see their father dating and happy, surely they have learned by now watching a parent move on and date is not that big of a deal. Anyway, I enjoy how all this flies right in the face of the sheeple, who have claimed all along Kate doesn't date for the good of her children. No, Kate doesn't date because she can't get a date, doesn't know how to get a date, is a child exploiter, opportunist and narcissist that would not make a wise partner for most men so most men avoid her, kids or no kids.

There is a very, very long segment about some of the kids helping her pick out clothes. It goes on forever.

Isn't Deanna a 40-year-old single woman? What does she know about what one should wear on their first, second or third dates? The second date should be business-like? Wtf? Deanna, that's how you find yourself 40 and single. No one wants to feel like they're meeting up with you to sign a contract, second date or not. Dating tip: Don't trust dating advice from hopelessly single friends.

At the end of this painfully long segment Kate chooses a boring but sensible little black dress.

Deanna provides a very vague story about how she's known Vann for many months (ever since she first saw his headshot), he's handsome and hard working, and would make a good match for Kate. I guess if you're looking for opposites attract you're right on the money.

Kate says one thing that I think is very true, in that having kids makes getting a date harder.  Jon has not had a problem finding dates, but Jon is not nearly as socially awkward, uptight and negative. He sends out good, friendly vibes, and he gets girlfriends, and they seem to accept his children without question. Jon could have six toes on each foot, scales for skin, and a big hairy mole on the tip of his nose, and he'd still always have a girlfriend. For some people dating, and life, comes easier.

I couldn't agree with Kate more, before she should even waste her time, or for that matter his, I think it's very important to let your date know you have eight kids. For some strange reason Deanna feels it's best to hide this fact. That's just plain silly, and can I say rude? If I know I don't want to take on a partner with eight kids no matter how nice they are, I'd appreciate you not waste my time by withholding this information. Putting myself in Vann's shoes, all kinds of thoughts would be running through my head if that information were kept from me for too long. Before they're even out of the gate bad-advice-Deanna is helping Kate to create some major red flags for her date. Good job.

As Deanna does Kate's make-up, Deanna and Kate have a long and conceited conversation about how there's no way on this planet Vann cannot recognize Kate, I mean this is Kate we're talking about here, although Deanna hasn't gotten into who she is with Vann yet. For goodness sake, she's Kate Gosselin, not Gandhi. What Deanna did say is that she told him she's a hot blonde. Kate instructs her to keep applying make-up. Heh, good one, Kate!

Kate seems to be of the mindset that a parent must be 100% focused on their kids and someday when they are grown they can think about themselves again. There are quite a few parents who would disagree with that helicopter-parenting philosophy. This also is Kate's not-so-subtle way to get in a dig at Jon, who has nurtured romantic relationships and friendships alike all along, in addition to being a good father to his children. Not only is it not healthy for you for the rest of your life to come to a screeching halt when you are a parent, but it's not good for your children. Watching a parent in healthy relationships with other people male and female is how children learn to model healthy relationships of their own. It also sends an important message to children that the world doesn't revolve around them. I've known a lot of kids whose parents don't do absolutely anything but be parents, and the kids often end up spoiled. Eventually this approach leaves parents with a crippling sense of emptiness as children grow up and develop other interests outside their parents, which happens sooner rather than latter.

Plus, Kate's kids are way too old to need her attention at all hours of the day. She should be able to find plenty of time while they are at school or with friends to look after herself and develop some interests of her own and welcome other people into her life. Moreover, she has shown time and time again she is very much about herself as much as she is about her kids, and she has spent untoward amounts of time away from them over the years, so she can stop with the martyrdom. Let's be honest, she uses her kids to cover for her inability to get a date, that's the plain truth of it. They're a convenient excuse for her as they often are.

Commercials. We're back, and Kate says goodbye to the kids. I don't see anyone around who looks like a nanny. Her limo pulls up. Seriously, a limo? Could this be any more 1-percenter? I really struggle to grasp how most of her fans relate to this. Also, isn't she at all worried about the first impression that's going to leave on her date? I.e., snob? She lives how she thinks rich people live, but most rich people do not go around taking limos everywhere much less on just a date. At most, they might valet their own car once they get to the venue, but a limo is ridiculous and even the rich know it.

The producer asks the boys how it feels to watch their mom leave for a date. I find that question extremely prying and more appropriate for a therapist to ask, but nonetheless the boys seem genuinely indifferent, they're just like the little birdie finally flew the nest. Ha, the 24/7 D.C. eagle cam is 100 times more interesting than this family, sorry boys.

Mady doesn't understand why Kate is so nervous about dating. She says something about how if you want to be nervous over this, meaning herself, that's on you. I don't know whether to find that comment funny or self-absorbed.

Kate and Deanna have a boring conversation about how Kate's nervous and is hot. Deanna asks about her dating days before marriage. Ohhhh, now we're getting into something interesting. Of course Kate won't even give up any interesting information that's already out there anyway. I'm thinking of that story about her old high school boyfriend and how she was living with him. There was a tabloid interview with him years ago, as I recall. Kate claims her high school class was so tiny there wasn't much dating and her guy friends were more like brothers. Heh, that never stopped anyone before, have you read/been traumatized by Flower in the Attic?! 

You know what's head-scratching? There's a way for her to tell the story of her past in a way that is respectful to the men she's been with while still deliciously interesting. I mean it was 20 years ago, it's not like she's dishing on yesterday's boyfriend. Instead she makes this conversation about as boring as a ham sandwich, claiming she never ever would dream of dating. But the truth is so much more engaging and would make for a much more interesting episode. She just doesn't get it.

Last time Kate dated there were pagers. Heh, yep, and cell phones that made your arm ache if you talked too long. Everyone complains about dating these days but dating was rough back then too.


Oh, finally they show their clearly full-time nanny Andrea, who can smile. I knew she had it in her. Took Kate going out of state to bring that out of her. Glad there is adult supervision here. They're making pizzas, and it's boring. Ha, Joel outs Kate by saying it's Kate's first date. I thought Kate just said she's had a handful of dates. No she hasn't, and her kids say so. I love that the kids are finally old enough to tell us what's really going on here. Her gaslighting days are over.

Mady explains that a first date is really just about assessing whether the guy is a serial killer. Holy smokes, Mady is spot on there. Yes, first things first.


Dating tip: Just pay the $29.99 and do the background check. Here, I'll pay it for you for gosh sakes.

More nosey questions from the producers, most of them I feel like they've already asked six different ways, but the sum of it all is that for the umpteenth time the kids are just fine with Kate dating if not even getting married. Why are so many of the kids concerned she'll progress too fast in this relationship before letting them meet the guy? Several say they really want to meet him and would be upset if they didn't. Exactly what I have been saying for years, many children want to meet and be involved in their parents' new relationships. They actually feel left out if you try to shelter them from it in some misguided attempt to protect them.

Andrea says it's a school night, which is just an interesting tidbit. Seems to me getting ready for school should be the priority, not filming. Stock "Italian" music as they eat the pizza. $1.99 on iTunes.

Deanna and Kate say they're excited to have an adult conversation for once, without talking about vocab words. Oh, Deanna, stop it. Geez, how do you think Andrea feels, she's the one actually taking care of these kids day-to-day.

I have never seen two friends have a more boring and pointless conversation about nothing. I hope I don't sound like this with my friends. Back at Quintland, they're running around outside with balls and a parachute and absolutely nothing happens. Much like the Roloffs these kids have a large property to enjoy, but there is a glaring difference between their episodes showing the property and the Roloffs. And that is at the Roloffs there were always three or four other kids there. Friends of the Roloff kids. There all.the.time. You literally can't go an episode without some friend of theirs popping up. Mueller and several others.

Deanna and Kate are still in their limo saying absolutely nothing worth recapping.

Commercials. Dating tip: It might be terribly awkward. But the last thing you do in a really awkward dating situation is say it's really awkward, Kate. Oy-veh!!!

The addition of a drone to this show has really improved the production values. They get some great shots of NYC. Lol, Kate doesn't want Deanna to leave right away after she introduces them. Oh for cripe sakes.

Vann's patiently waiting for Kate by the helicopter (for reals). What a weird meeting place, they're in a rather shady empty parking lot. He is tall, brunette, and has boyish, classic good looks. His suit coat is a little frumpy, but I find that endearing. Shows he's not vain.

Having been on my share of bad dates, I can tell within about five seconds Vann's not attracted to her. And that won't ever change. He's doing that awkward stare where the wheels are turning and the thought process is "well, she's pretty enough, but she's not really my kind of pretty I don't think, but let me give it a few more seconds.....nope, she's still not my type. Dang it, I have to sit through an entire date now with someone who could very well be quite nice but who is just not for me. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Damn me."

Deanna tells some not credible story about how she met Vann at a "charity" event. Which one? Name names. Was this "charity" a production meeting in Silver Spring where she and a couple producers looked through a couple hundred head shots?

The helicopter pilot looks like he'd be just as comfortable delivering pizzas down in Brooklyn. I love NYC.

This reminds me of the "rewards" Trump used to give on The Apprentice where you got to do something really lavish and once in a lifetime, like take a helicopter ride at sunset. Those were the good ole days when that show was truly the best reality show ever made.

He's from Hoboken??? Hoboken!!!!!! Hall-ahhh!!! Sorry, I have a lot of college friends from that great place.  If you can't live in NYC, please, set up shop in Hoboken.

Vann certainly knows his battleships. I do too, actually. I'll take E-6 please. Well, NYC is a thing of beauty. It really is the greatest city in the world, isn't it? The only thing profound Kate can come up with to sum up this incredible experience was, that was, like, fun.

Like, yeah.

I have to give Kate a little credit, she's trying on this date. She's asking him questions about himself, making eye contact, and trying to act interested. They head to dinner at an Italian restaurant. Gosh, Van's cute. Swipe right, swipe right, swipe right. I'm not sure why Kate thinks a parent can have nothing in common with someone who has no kids. Grr, I hate parents like that. Naturally she finds plenty of things in common with him. Duh.

Dating tip: Don't tell your date your brain is a "fruit salad."

Kate wants to know how it is Vann has ended up single without any kids at this age. Is it me or is that question really rude? Especially on a first date. Not everyone gets a girl knocked up at 18 and puts a ring on it. Some people postpone that aspect of their lives for very good reason. Career, travel, just not feeling ready for it all yet, haven't met the right girl yet. Although let's be real, some people postpone it because they want to live up being single and wealthy and party without any responsibility. Van looks like that type, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I'd rather you wait on having kids until you're really ready to be attentive to them, rather than settle down prematurely before you get all of that out of your system and see your marriage end in divorce by the time you're 40.

Dating tip: No overtly personal questions on your first date! Gah!

Vann is very polite about Kate's nosey question, making a joke about how his parents ask that a lot. His parents sound like they're worried he's gay, I'm totally getting that vibe. Not that there's anything wrong with that either. Vann says he's happy, he's comfortable, and he's holding out for the best. Heh, i.e. I want to live up being single and wealthy and party without any responsibility. Got it.

Kate goes into a long speech the crux of which is that you should not just marry the first person who comes along. She is clearly implying that's what she did. She acts like Jon coerced her into marriage. Wasn't it the opposite? Didn't she basically peg him as a dentist's son and promptly steal him out from under his girlfriend, no pun intended? That can hardly be characterized as happenstance, just putting a ring on the first thing that comes along with a pretty enough face and a vagina. Gimme a break. Her bar is set so much higher now, she explains. You know what, her kids are going to listen to this! She is such a f--ing bitch about their father whom they love, there's no other way to say it. It hasn't gotten any better in five years. She's a bit more subtle about it, but not really. She just doesn't name him by name now when she slams him, as if that makes it okay.

There's a gal in the background who looks like Jenna Bush and Julia Styles had a baby. That's so classic New York.

I see the kids have been brainwashed to regurgitate Kate's mantra that it would be tough for anyone to handle eight kids. I wonder how they think school teachers do it with 30 kids or more.

Baw, Van has never seen the show. Of course he hasn't. He's out being single and wealthy when this show airs.

This guy is a professional flirt but it could not be clearer he is not that into her, as much as he is being extremely nice and polite. It's tough for a woman to get through a date where she knows he's not into you, but it's even more embarrassing when she doesn't seem to realize it.

Commercials. Little people and their dogs!

Back at the date, they're diving into the tiramisu. I once met an Italian shopkeeper in Little Italy, Baltimore who insisted he invented tiramisu. He was kind of nutty but had a nice bakery.

How many ways can the producers ask the kids if they are okay with Kate dating??? Stop! They're asking this enough some of the kids are changing their answers. Having actually studied how to interview kids effectively, like really studied what psychologists and sociologists have to say about this, in order that I can do a better job at getting good information about crimes, or child abuse, from little ones who might be a witness or victim, one of the cardinal rules is you don't keep asking the child the same question over and over. You just don't. You ask it enough and they start thinking maybe you don't like their answer and maybe they should change it. By the time a child has been asked about an incident the third time or more, there is very little left they can say that is reliable. You have to basically throw out the interview at that point, it's of no value.

What do the twins dating have to do with anything? How boring.

Vann mumbles, I've noticed. Big time mumbles like as bad as Tyler Florence. That's one of those things where you tell your girlfriends the next day, well he was so cute and sweet, but he mumbles! If that is not already a Seinfeld episode, it should be.

Oh, no, not the pity walk. This is the point in the date where he is such a nice guy he is feeling guilty knowing he will never call you again. So he asks you if you'd like to take a little walk a couple blocks before you say goodnight.

Dating tip: When he wants to take a pity walk, trust me, it's a pity walk.

They take an admittedly cute selfie and send it to Deanna who promptly responds "CUTE!!!" Yes, it was cute.

Why isn't Kate just ending this date already? Painful. Kate says she can't do anything at the end of the date because her kids will be watching this. What was she going to do if cameras weren't there, have sex with him right outside the subway stop?

Dating tip: Don't put out on the first date!!

Kate ends the date by saying "you have my information." Lol, sounds like you're trying to get the Girl Scouts off your front porch, you know where I live hit me up next year. He leans in to go for a little kiss, and she turns away. She actually turns away! He lands on her cheek. I've heard of the Puritans but this is ridiculous. Why is she being so unnaturally prudish?

Vann gives a really polite interview basically saying Kate is really nice and he doesn't know how it would work with eight kids but you go where life takes you. God he's nice.

Kate was impressed he wasn't scared off by the eight kids thing. I'm not sure it's that so much as eight kids wasn't even really registering.

Kate says they're trying to arrange a time to meet up again, which is a nice guy's way of "ghosting" you without actually ghosting you. He will forever be trying to find a good time.

Dating tip: If he likes you, that time will be found. Usually within the next couple days.


Little people fire drills!!! And we're out.

If Kate would link her verified Twitter account to her IG account, that would clear up any questions about impostors. Instead, she's linked her Twitter account to her Twitter account.

She's still obsessing over this. What in the heck is wrong with this person? It is NOT normal to behave this way. She will keep doing this day after day until Kate is "verified," showing everyone that Kate is verified, the account is real, etc. etc.

Gladys is one very scary person. I think that Kate knows it, and therefore she just basically ignores her.

She did the same thing in her twitter bio including it as a link to her Instagram:

"I'm joining modern Tweeting society. My kids will be so proud! And now, you can follow me on Instagram: @Kateplusmy8 there too! Website: http://Kateplusmy8.com"

If you click on the link @Kateplusmy8, it takes you right back to her twitter account.

But no worries, Milo is on it, telling her and everyone else that she used the wrong link.

Fired Up 4 Kate ‏@MiloandJack · 8h8 hours ago
Remember >> @Kateplusmy8 << that takes folks to twitter...here is a usable link for your #Instagram >> https://www.instagram.com/kateplusmy8/ :)

However, Kate has yet to change it.

As far as the verification, this is what Instagram says:

"Right now, only some public figures, celebrities and brands have verified badges. It's not currently possible to request a verified badge.

If your account doesn't have a verified badge, there are other ways to help let people know that you're authentic. For example, you can link to your Instagram profile from your official website, Facebook page or Twitter account."

I guess that Milo just can't admit that in the grand scheme of things TFW just isn't that important. As d-listers go she doesn't even rate a capital "d". I wonder how many of her followers are spam and or bot accounts.

Jane, I agree with you. Kate is as dumb as a box of hair. It is mind-boggling how she got to where she is. With whom is she doing the horizontal mambo? It certainly isn't Gladys.

I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts. She's so inept and half-ass at everything. Buzzes she is not. This is basic stuff and she just doesn't seem to be capable or doesn't want to be.

She is the adult equivalent of that kid who spent hours slightly narrowing the margins and looking up longer words to replace shorter words to make the book report stretch out and seem longer. Instead of just hunkering down and doing the work the right way. (In about the same amount of time if not less)

Kate will always be Kate. You can't take the Kate out of her.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Admin (#12), as I've said before, it'd be so smart for TFW to just slip some high school kid $100 and have him or her spend an hour getting her social media profiles on track. She is clearly out of her depth, and just as clearly not interested in learning to do better. Talk about mediocre.

SarahK said...

Even is Kate is one dumb doofus, does Kravitz really have to treat her as such? Good heavens, talk about a helicopter fan from hell!

How old is Gladys? I wonder, seriously, if she's really playing with a full Deckster. There is a reason why she must be in bed at 11 p.m., religiously, without fail. That just isn't normal. I'm not being nasty, but is she developmentally challenged in some way? Does anyone know?

Couldn't agree more. It's penny wise and pound foolish. She doesn't want to fork over the money to get her social media on track because she doesn't want to spend the money. But if she threw the money down it could come back to her seven-fold.

And Lord knows even though she doesn't work she's not getting her social media up to snuff on her own. If she spent just an hour a day diligently working on her social media presence, she would improve it exponentially. She's too lazy and stupid to do that though.

Who in her camp thinks she needs to get "verified" on instagram? That's another thing hilarious about this. If any of them simply read instagram's terms as a poster here did, they would read right away there is no verification right now. Which is what you would think she would do if she were actually interested in how to get verified. How do the expect to get verified otherwise, pray to the instagram gods?

Ha!

Hey, since when did feminism become girl power?

Feminism is not "girl power" or treat us all like we're amazing or we all stick together. Feminism does not mean there aren't some real duds in the bunch. Every bouquet has a few shriveled ones you have to throw out.

Thanks, I am **not** with her. (Either of them, in this case!)

well, lordy be. Why don't Kate and Milo appeal to their Knight In Shining Armour, BV? He knows everyone on the internet, has connections in high places, and could certainly use his influence to get her verified in a heartbeat!

Does this sound like a germophobe to you? If she is, it's a blatant lie; if she's not, it's beyond disgusting.

Formerly Duped said...

Didn't Kate say the cake was a girl thing and boys could not help ( Joel, in OBX) I hope she has changed that rule! But whenever we see the kitchen on the show, boys are never doing food preparation as far as I recall. (Although I think maybe for that Mother's Day brunch a couple of them were allowed to help the twins, mainly fetching things such as eggs, but not Collin, who made a card-making station)

Sad but true said...

Paid or not, Milo seems determined to steer Kate's social media efforts. After noting that Kate had posted her 2nd IG photo (whoopie!), in her very next tweet Milo COPIES the photo to Twitter. Proving, once again, that Milo doesn't trust Kate (or Kate's fans) to promote the infamous Ms Gosselin properly.

Nanuq is the shiney new thing, apparently. Where's Zorro these days? Banished to his cage because she is puppy crazy now. If the dog is in her bed, she's putting her there for photo ops.

GollyGee said...

Maybe the reason why she hasn't linked her Instagram account to her twitter is because it is full of porn. She won't give up the verified check of twitter because she won't get it back and she can't get a verified check with IG because she is not famous enough.

Maybe if she had been nice, humble and applied herself and excelled in her pursuit of fame without stomping on everyone in her path up the ladder, she could of managed to get a coveted check mark on her IG account.

But what is so crazy is that she won't clean it up.

Why would she even take a chance of her children seeing her twitter timeline with the porn?

That is just sad.

On IG, search @Kateplusmy8 and her account will come up.

On IG, search #Kateplusmy8 and different pictures come up. Some with Mady and friends and Kate with fans.

GollyGee said...

Saw the flag cake.

Pretty embarrassing cake for a proclaimed cook and cookbook author. I don't think she made it. I think the kids made it but she is to vain to give them credit.

Why would you post a picture of a cake that you supposedly made (even though you didn't admit that you made it) that looked like that and you are a cook book author.

Doesn't make sense.

When has she ever given any credit to any of the kids when they do something good? She is so dang negative to those kids and has been for years and will continue to do so.

The strawberries just remind me of how she treated the boys when she was making this cake years ago and how they couldn't have a couple of the strawberries.

You couldn't give your sons a couple of strawberries to snack on? A plentiful supply of strawberries? Just part of her need to control their food rations and their souls.

Also, it was a day late. Huge, red flag there! lol

She should pay more than 100 dollars for a high school kid to get her social media back on track because of all the money she has spent on the fake bots and how it has turned into a festering porn Twitter.

If she would do this it would benefit her and get that stupid porn off her Twitter. Because why would you leave it on there for your children to see? I don't want anything bad to happen to her, but what if it did and the porn was still on her timeline and someone would have to fix it.

What a horrible legacy to leave for your children to know about.

Just as sad is that Kate is still trading on her "mom" brand and she (along with the re-runs TLC keeps pumping out all over the globe) is attracting minors with Twitter, who come to her timeline, follow her and see porn!
It is nothing short of DISGUSTING that Kate Gosselin continues to post twitter messages on a feed polluted with porn, when she herself has acknowledged that children read there.

I'm surprised that it's already mid-summer and TLC's "I Am" campaign is still collecting dust, and K+8's canned episodes aren't even teased yet.
I expected both to be shown this summer.

I would think that filming children is somewhat time sensitive in that while grown actors don't change, kids do, and FAST.
Adult actors make movies sometimes years before their release, but you really wouldn't know because it's not like they just got out of braces, or they are developing, or now have bad acne etc.
They pretty much look about the same.
By the time they show the G kids, almost half a year or more will have passed, and whatever they're doing on film is far from timely.
I guess it beats when they were such a hot commodity that they had to film and do shoots way BEFORE each holiday.

Many dog owners smell their dog's "Frito™ feet", but kiss them? No thank you.

TLC stinks said...

It could be the Chicago block party is the launch for the "I Am" campaign. If not, then the "I Am" campaign is toast.

It is interesting that TLC released a show on YouTube without airing it first. The way I see it, Kate may be stuck with those puppies without anything airing on TV. The conception was totally pre planned for months with her tweets of undying Shoka love and now the sleepy puppy tweets from a faux dog lover. She really disgusts me when I look back to her stating that she "could have lived her whole life without a dog" and what a sacrifice it was. Well, now there are three. Once those puppies are as big as Shoka, she'll abandon them for something else that is cute. I predict there will be no animals in that house once all the kids leave home; no dogs, no bird, no chickens, no nothing because she's not interested unless they are someone else's responsibility. I feel quite sad for the male puppy because it seems she has zeroed in on the female for now.

Thank you Jacob for speaking out:

"jacobroloff45I get comments on here all the time about how people 'miss me on the show' or telling me I should 'do a few more episodes' with the family; I'm posting this to say that that will never happen. For the sake of 'the episode' and ratings I've seen a lot of STORYLINES drawn up (loosely) about our lives, and when I was standing here, behind the scenes and watching it from an outside perspective I just couldn't stop laughing. Laughing at how hard the producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points, and at how ridiculous the talking points are.
.
To misquote Chomsky, "the primary objective of any system is to preserve the integrity of that system", meaning, the primary objective I have felt and observed over the years of the 'crew' is to preserve their job and preserve the ratings, which is up to you to be right or wrong. That's not to say they are all soulless corporate shills or something, there are and have been good people involved but that doesn't negate the fact that they do have their own personal agenda. For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn't work well with the health & happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I would not be a part of it as soon as I was able.
.
All in all I appreciate people wanting me to 'be with the family' for a few more episodes, but the family that is filmed is not my family. They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself. As soon as the cameras drop however, its almost like they never played the part. 20 minutes after this picture was taken we all, plus friends, had a campfire late into the night. So, I am with my family and I love them I'm just here to say you'll never see that from me on TV again.
(This picture is from a few months ago)"

*******
Whoa, thank you Admin for posting this and thank you Jacob for having the courage to call BS and expose these shows for what they really are: money-making ventures which use people and children for story lines, drama and ultimately, advertising dollars.

"the primary objective I have felt and observed over the years of the 'crew' is to preserve their job and preserve the ratings, which is up to you to be right or wrong. That's not to say they are all soulless corporate shills or something, there are and have been good people involved but that doesn't negate the fact that they do have their own personal agenda"

YES! The crew are not "Daddies", not family and not there tasked with the well being of the talent. They are there because it's their JOB-filming families-happy or sad- cohesive or falling apart at the seams-healthy and stable or suffering-isn't really their concern.
Getting the PRE-PLANNED AND SCRIPTED episode on film is their primary objective.

"They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself"

Reality show talent are cast members who are given characters which drive the dynamic of the show. This is not "running in and out of frame". This is Mady, "the bratty bitch", Jon, "the testicularly-challenged husband", Kate, "the germaphobe and OCD mother", etc, etc. All acting out story arcs for each and every episode.

I appreciate Jacob's courage to say his truth and fully expect one day to read the same sentiments from more than one of the Gosselin kids.
When they're free, of course.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Admin (#43), whoa, what a powerful and damning comment by Jake Roloff. Might I suggest a new topic about it?

This really popped for me: "the agenda of the crew doesn't work well with the health and happiness of our family." We saw the G kids projectile vomiting, with double ear infections, serious headaches, and
more, and those problems were pushed aside in favor of filming. Not to mention the emotional turmoil they experienced during their parents' divorce, which was captured for posterity. Those children endured that neglect of their physical and mental well being for a decade, and it continues. But TFW will never have to empty another bed pan, and the TLC execs probably have awesome beach houses, so it's all good.

Jane said...

Wow! Jacob is a helluva lot smarter than Kate. I hope at least one of the Gosselin kids at some point and sooner rather than later, does something similar.

Tucker's Mom said...

Just look at the size of the crew- the mics and lights and people aiming cameras and gawking-while this seemingly intimate campfire is staged for fan viewing.
I really appreciate these "big picture" photos, and fan girls and boys should take a good, hard look at them.
You think the moments you are sharing with the Gosselins or Roloffs are intimate, just them and you, tucked into your couch with your bowl of ice cream?
Take a look! This is how the sausage is made!
These people are surrounded by a crew of people with cameras, lights and booms, all there to capture their "life" as if they're not there.
They do a good job of packaging the final product. You'd be fooled into thinking that you are just a fly on the wall.
But. You're. Not.
This is the Truman Show and you're the eyes ogling them like they're are fish in a bowl.
Just there for your amusement.

Tucker's Mom said...

I think Jacob's response to the fans was kind and measured. Frankly, I find it presumptive and appalling that they sit there and flick their lighters like fans at a concert, expecting the talent to come back on stage to give them more.
The demand to satiate the fans is disturbing. The need to see real people continue to live their lives on tv for their gratification is sickening.
These children are not actors and are only giving the fans pieces of their very souls because they HAVE TO.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Tucker's Mom (#47), your comment about the large crew reminded me of when TFW helped that injured boy at the jumping place party, and was accused of doing it for show. She tweeted that of course that wasn't true, and that she "forgets camera often!" But that response was for people who just naively picture some behind-the-scenes camera person quietly chronicling the action. This is a full-blown crew which is right on top of the action every step of the way. No way attention hog TFW just forgets about them.

Formerly Duped said...

I know...whenever I see a picture or shot of a show being filmed and all the equipment and crew right in people's faces, how could you "forget the camera" and the kids "just play."

NJGal51 said...

I applaud Jacob for speaking out. He reinforces what we've always said. Everything is scripted and once the newness of the puppies wears off they'll be right outside with Shoka.

ncgirl said...

Good for Jacob. It would be great if if at least one of the Gosselin kids will be like this. I'd love to see Kate's reaction especially because they'd be adults, and she couldn't do anything.

Sad article about Jazz Jennings. I understand she's trying to promote understanding, but she's too young for this harrassment.

@Ncgirl Im more curious of Gladys or one of the other loyal sheeps reaction would be.Will she call the child a liar?Say they're being to hard on their mother.Im sure milo and goody will try to act like they know Kate and claim that she did everything for that child.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

James (#54), of course the fans will blame the child who speaks out.
And somehow Jon will be implicated in whispering bad things in their ears about their sainted mother.

Oh, and for those who have lost track of time, in 10 months, TFW will have 8 teenagers under her roof. Tick tock...

&&&


I agree. The response was polite but warranted. The fans don't think about how it makes someone FEEL when they make demands like this. Kate's fans do the same thing without regard to anyone's feelings. It's rare if ever I've seen a fan say, show us this IF the kids are okay with it, if you are okay with it, etc. It's very inconsiderate.

I do watch this show. I do think he is spot on about the organized storylines. That comes through very obviously in the recent episodes. There is a clear outline and loose script, clear events staged.

I appreciate Jacob for recognizing his family is still his family even though they have made different choices about filming. Jacob is still THERE sometimes, just off camera waiting for cameras to shut off so he can jump in. It seems like the family is respecting his decision and being discreet, and letting him do the talking when and if he wants to.

I guess it didn't really hit me before but it seems to me every reality TV kid former child or now grown is getting this from fans and it IS disturbing.

Jeremy and Zack suggested that the fans really want to see them have kids and have that be the next chapter in the show. They said look we do want kids but we want to WAIT for kids, we have certain things we'd like to do first and would like to enjoy this newlyweds time first.

I don't now what their timetable is nor do I care to know, but Jeremy and Zack might wait 5, 10 years to have kids like a lot of couples in modern times wait. The question is will they feel such pressure from production and fans to ramp up a timeline that is right for them in their private lives, but not good timing for their public lives? That is really sick, and the fans' disrespect for something so personal and private is appalling.

I'm surprised that it's already mid-summer and TLC's "I Am" campaign is still collecting dust, and K+8's canned episodes aren't even teased yet.

&&&&

I think there's a good chance some preliminary testing caused them to let that campaign quietly die.

The big problem with their I Am campaign is it was mixing up something you actually are, with behavior you choose to engage in. You don't mix in biological truths and genetic truths with people who choose to be a bitch. I predict that was going to get a lot of blowback from the public, and it's entirely possible preliminary test groups and responses were negative. My response was certainly negative.

I mean where is the campaign? It's been totally scratched as far as I can tell. I actually give them credit for not being stubborn on this one. It was a good idea in theory but not in practice, and if you realize something is not right you should get out, not hellbent pursue it. You have to walk on eggshells with a lot of folks who are "different" these days but some of it is justified. You don't equate a child's gender identity with a grown adult's choices to engage in certain behavior or be a certain way. That's just wrong.

Oh and back to Jacob, I think it's good that both Amy and Matt and the rest of the family still film, in the sense that it proves, more or less, that he isn't being influenced by anyone in the family. Of course if any of the Gosselin children do this, and they likely will, unfortunately the fans will get to blame Jon and discredit them. And they will.

Tucker's Mom said...

Not the same with Jazz, who gets criticized because people are bigots with no tolerance or understanding.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I believe Jacob when he said production is not putting the family's health first.

It's not like when you or I call in sick and someone can take over our duties that day. We our encouraged to please call in sick so as not to infect coworkers and the children. But no one can be "Jacob" for a day or be "Jeremy" for a day. If they go down, production either has to stop production, or try to film something else. That's not easy what with all the planning that goes into filming something. For instance if you're filming at all in public there are usually permits and permission required, it can take weeks and months to set that all up and they may only be good for THAT DAY. For anyone who feels a strong sense of work ethic, that is going to put a tremendous pressure on you to never be unavailable or cause problems. Pressure normal people don't usually feel at normal jobs (unless self imposed of course, which some people do.)

I'll tell you something, the actor I worked for had to call in sick on their primetime show for about a week for a very serious family emergency. Basically a close family member almost died who lived out of the country. It's a miracle they lived. They were going to go by with them and their immediate family, show be damned. It resulted in a big fat insurance LAWSUIT, a major network and production company suing the insurance company as they were not happy with the reimbursement for all the financial headaches it caused. It just wasn't enough time to try to make other arrangements to film around it, and everyone lost a ton of money. It would be like Seinfeld going down on his show, it would be hard to film around it and you're going to lose money no matter how you slice it. This is why you hear stories of actors reporting to set with 103 degree fevers ready to work.

You can't really call in sick in the TV business. Jacob's only choice really was to quit all together and force them to make full time arrangements to film without him.

Tucker's Mom said...

Yes. Disturbing, sickening and confusing. I will never understand the mindset of these people who want Kate and the kids to entertain them on television. What is the attraction of watching someone else's children? I wish I could figure out the psychology behind it all. Some of them appear to be normal or semi-normal, and yet, there is something really wrong with these fans who just don't get it. Is it immaturity, or just acute doofusism?

TLC stinks said...

Funny, I was just going to ask what was going on with the Busby's. Naked babies are cute, but that is for family viewing, not public.

This puppy thing seems to be her last ditch effort to stay relevant. Without puppy pictures, what else is there? She got her 2016 TLC paycheck already so what does it matter if they air her show or not? She seems to have no backup plan once TLC ditches her for good. Really ridiculous to believe that viewers would watch in perpetuity, but that is what she thinks. I've been fooled before because she is Teflon Kate, but introducing puppies is scraping the bottom of the barrel because, well, they are puppies only for so long. And I can puppies on YouTube.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

TFW ought to be heading to Chicago soon, if she hasn't already. No more Twitter gabfests -- her attention will be diverted by pampering on TLC's dime. Did she ever promote the TLC event on Twitter? But she sure was anxious to get her fans interested in a cruise that would put money in her pocket ("do it do it do it!").

I think TFW dreads these events that bring her face-to-face with the average viewer. She busted herself as a snob when she dubbed her ex "mediocre." So being surrounded by the mediocre (read: not rich or famous) for hours at a public event -- especially one at which she's not going to be the center of attention -- is probably a grim prospect.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

TLC stinks (#76), yeah, what else has TFW got to promote? The Duggars have a new courtship to buy them another season. I still say TFW would sink so low as to use the twins' possible dating opportunities as show fodder once they turn 16. Other than that, driving lessons with their shrieking mother (RIP, Jon), and TFW poking and dabbing her eyes when they finally get their licenses, will not a riveting season make.

TLC stinks said...

Frankly, I would be shocked if Cara agreed, not Mady, to filming dating but I cannot see it happening. The teasing would be too much from classmates.

The driving stuff is a possibility even if Kate has said they would not get their licenses at 16. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Again, I see Cara shutting that down even with the promise of a car.

Really, those of us who have raised teens already know what it's like. Why watch and why watch Kate overdramatize the whole situation? Learning to drive is about keeping your cool, because it is DANGEROUS. I can see TLC and Kate getting criticized big time.
