Since I don't have cable, please to let me know what happens tonight

5/25/2009 2:41:51 PM

SHIT!!! I have to work tonight. Damnit. I guess it is all up to AlliePaige, at least for the first hour of it.

5/25/2009 5:42:52 PM

haha well hopefully she'll see this and realize that the play by play is needed...

although there was the marathon on today, i resisted watching while i was at my parents house. i almost don't want to keep contributing to their disaster of a family situation!

5/25/2009 5:59:27 PM

anything good????

5/25/2009 9:36:39 PM

I got home as it was going off. I only caught the last line. Man, Kate is such an holier-than-thou bitch.

5/25/2009 10:36:01 PM

there's a facebook group and i was looking at the comments.

apparently in talking about this whole situation, kate started crying. most of the comments were saying that they should stop the show and work on the marriage, blah blah blah.

like a few hundred during and after the episode

5/25/2009 10:39:42 PM

Sorry to drop the ball Ladies!!! I recorded it and started watching it this morning before work. I had to stop so I haven't seen the end yet.

But Kate kept complaining about doing everything alone now.
Jon was off taking a "weekend off" as Kate explained.
I cried once when one of the sextuplets said "Daddy, I don't want you to go away anymore"
Oh, and the sextuplets are 5! And they are growing up so fast!! They looked so cute at the party.
I usually find Cara and Maddie annoying but they were really helpful and sweet to Kate this episode and really cute with their little sisters and brothers.
The whole separate interviewing was so weird (I haven't got to the part where they finally sit down together)
At the birthday party they didn't say barely 2 words to each other.
Jon's annoyance with Kate is definitely coming out more and more and I also find Kate very annoying. She kept bringing up the paparazzi all the time.

I saved the juiciest stuff for when I get home

P.S. I bet their ratings were really good. All this drama came out at the right time. I used to watch this show, then stopped, and now I'm sucked right back in because of the drama. So I bet they got a lot more viewers!

Apparently it's re-airing tonight, and i could go watch it, but I just don't know if I can!

And apparently Jon's brother (Kevin) who's married to Jodi, was saying to boycott the show and that she was pretty much just pimping out the children to make the money....

^ and no worries

^I think it's worth it to watch it. Again, I started to find the show really boring and repetitive but this episode is just too juicy to pass up. I probably won't watch anymore episodes but like I said, I couldn't pass this one up

5/26/2009 1:09:12 PM

Just watched the first hour.... Not gonna stick around for the second....

5/26/2009 8:49:52 PM

they shortened them up to only an hour.....

From Perez....

Aunt Julie spoke out about the episode last night before it aired:
(Not Jodi, it's another one of Kate's sisters-in-law)

Quote :

" "Since TLC is airing the old episodes, I thought I shed some light on how the show works. We've discussed this before, but it's buried somewhere in the archived posts. "When the show first started, Kate made a wishlist of things that she wanted, and that became the theme of each episode–the carpet, twin's room, bunk beds, cow, hairplugs, teeth whitening, trips, etc. EVERYTHING that you see them do or buy is completely paid for out of the budget for the show or traded for free advertising. Kate went on and on about saving up for special days, you saw her paying for things, she talked about budgeting, etc. It is all for the appearance that they are a struggling family with 8 children. They needed to be relatable. They didn't pay for any of it. "The episodes are also staged. Here's how it works…there is a staff of people reading these blogs and they base the shows around what people are talking about. I haven't watched many episodes, but I do know some of the behind the scenes events. "The Christmas episode from 2007. Producers told Kate that the viewers wanted to see her show appreciation to their helpers. They told her what the episode was going to be. I think they baked cookies and then went caroling (of course this was probably one of their many 'traditions"–those are all fake too). Kate threw a fit. She didn't want to do it, but she did…because they were trying to pacify the viewers. "Another example is the 'Games Gosselins Play' (I think that might have been the same episode as their 'mission statement'). I actually did watch this one. This was around the time that I started reading discussion boards and finding out that there were many people opposed to the show. It was so obvious that the mission statement was addressing all of the concerns that I had been reading online. The game time was just ridiculous. After the episode, I called Jodi and said, 'what was that?.' She hadn't watched it, so I explained that it came across so fake (at least to me). Jodi was with Kate when she got "the call" about the theme for that episode. Kate said something like, 'so now I have to pretend that I play with my kids.' They also wanted her to pay special attention to the boys. "Don't believe everything you see. The children are also being prompted to say or do certain things. They signed their lives away to TLC and they will continue to spin the show to keep the viewer's interest. I don't believe this show will go away until the viewers decide that they don't want to be played anymore. "Of course, you've all figured out that they are showing Kate cook/bake to promote her upcoming cookbook. The show has now turned into a show about a family with a reality show–move to a mansion, cross-over shows, book tour, talk shows… "I've only watch a handful of episodes. I haven't even seen all of the episodes that Jodi has been in. I made a personal decision long ago to do what I can to give those children the privacy and respect that they deserve. I refuse to watch and participate in something that I feel so strongly against. "Please don't watch on Monday. You're not going to learn anything new by watching. They will only show what they think people want to see and it isn't real anyway. They will probably drag this out (J&K's 'relationship') for the entire season. They just string the viewers along hoping that they will come back for more." "

"With all the drama surrounding Jon and Kate Gosselin, it was only a matter of time until people started paying attention to the welfare of the children. In fact, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor is paying very close attention. They've even started a state labor investigation! Officials are looking into whether TLC's show Jon & Kate Plus 8 is legally complying with all child labor laws. According to Justin Fleming, the Labor Department's spokesman, the organization is looking into the family after a complaint was issued against the show. Maybe the complaint came from Kate's envious $ister-in-law and brother? As for TLC, they claim the show "fully complies" with the state laws and regulations. If someone issued a fake complaint, we hope they get fined. What do U think about the kids? Are they being over worked?"

Holy Crap....

Almost like the whole thing is staged. The bottom line is - there is NO reality in reality TV. Shits as staged as pro wrestling.

John and KAte have SAG cards, look it up.

5/30/2009 12:45:04 PM

but the sad thing is I don't think their marriage was staged. And the fact that they're likely to get divorced isn't staged either....

5/30/2009 5:16:07 PM

wow...social services is involved? I think this is a good thing.

5/30/2009 9:11:26 PM

i've largely stayed away from this whole shitshow (literally)

it's their 10th wedding anniversary tomorrow (or something) .....

6/12/2009 5:21:57 PM

I don't watch it anymore. I think the show has gone up in ratings.

6/12/2009 5:23:27 PM

i actually don't watch the show anymore at all, but I do frequent perezhilton and of course they're all over that.

6/12/2009 5:26:51 PM

anyone who thinks that this isn't partially for the ratings (aka $$$) is crazy

6/22/2009 11:37:26 AM

6/22/2009 6:56:14 PM

Shit as fake as Wrestling. When ratings drop - they will get back together.

6/22/2009 9:27:13 PM

6/22/2009 9:37:24 PM

6/23/2009 10:55:58 AM

I couldn't even watch it The whole thing is just tragic.

6/23/2009 11:24:06 AM

did you read that thing i linked to above? for so long i thought it was all kate being greedy - but it totally seems like jon is doing it too.

6/23/2009 11:33:18 AM

yeah...I read the link and just got sad. Those poor kids and the example they have. I could not watch too much of the show. Just so sick.
They are going to still do the fucking show which makes me the sickest of all. What is wrong with people?

6/23/2009 12:02:51 PM

^^ Hey moth!

Why do you never say hey back son?

6/23/2009 12:28:32 PM

Tragic? TRAGIC? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!?!?!?!?

A 4 year old passing away from cancer is TRAGIC. Two "relaity" show actors faking their lives is just narcissism.

Check your shit.

6/24/2009 7:26:31 AM

ahem

punchmonk just incase you weren't aware...

Kate + 8 is now coming next week to TLC

5/31/2010 7:04:45 PM

thank god this thread got bumped before a year passed...

5/31/2010 7:21:51 PM

hahahaha....thank G.O.D we don't have cable right now because I would be watching that train-wreck like a rubber necker.

5/31/2010 7:39:09 PM

Jon's new tattoo

6/29/2010 4:07:43 PM

ramble ramble ramble

6/29/2010 5:03:52 PM

oh shit...what is wrong with that guy? He is going through a midlife crisis or something.

I do believe that it would be typical for someone like him to get a dragon tattoo. I bet his next project is a koi fish pond tattoo with cherry blossoms .

and he looks huge

6/29/2010 5:25:34 PM

such a sad dragon...

6/29/2010 5:26:53 PM

WHAT THE FUCK?!!! GIRLFRIEND'S NAME????!!!

6/29/2010 5:28:18 PM

what a failure.

"According to In Touch Weekly, Sarah Palin may be joining Kate Gosselin and her 8 children on a camping trip for an episode of their reality show. The cameras have already documented the brood's trip to Alaska to meet the former Governor. "Sarah, Kate and the kids will go camping," claims a source. "She's excited because it will be fun and educational for the children. Sarah will even teach Kate how to avoid bears!" And Sarah's father, who is a retired teacher, will give the childrenz a hands-on science lesson."

i'm afraid, very afraid
