I'm watching "Kate Plus Eight"....

[Wadecool]

I'd rather like someone (although I wouldn't say intenesly, since I don't know her) than not. I have said there are things she has done that I haven't liked, and I am glad the kids aren't in a show. If you read back, I only defend what there isn't proof of (in my eyes). I defend that she and Steve weren't having an affair, because I've seen no proof. 1) I defend that her 'girls' look the same to me, and I've seen no proof they aren't. I've seen no proof that she isn't involved more than what we see with her kids. 2) I really see a show, an edited show, and as she said last night, the taping could be a couple days, and she could have yelled at her kids a short amount of that, and that's what they show. I couldn't live up at times to the group on this thread, and what they would have said, when I had my young children. Kate doesn't seem to have filters..she says what she says, even with camera's rolling. I think that is a big difference than on some of the other shows. Other shows seem to have more control over what can be shown.
So my short answer is, I don't intensely dislike anyone, but for me, it would be much harder and against my beliefs to intensly dislike, or hate someone based on the 'proof' shown. I'm much happier liking people or at least not disliking them, based on an edited tv show. Now, if someone could just explain filters to her, I think she would fare much better.

I actually enjoy your opinions, partially because you are working really hard to defend someone who you don't know any more than the rest of us, but by all means, keep them coming.

1) It would seem clear to the rest of the civilized world that Kate's "girls" are most certainly not the same but feel free to believe otherwise...

2) Of course Kate is going to say that its all edited to make her look bad, what else can she say? But again feel free to believe otherwise if you wish. I would argue that if anything, the editing that was being done throughout the show has made Kate look like a nicer person than she actually is. But as a not so distant political candidate pointed out "You can't put lipstick on a pig" and TLC has found that out.

I'd like to know why he doesn't have the kids more, myself. Why they don't have equal shared custody. I know of very few people who don't get 50/50 nowadays.

Possible reasons:

He could live too far away to keep them during the week (when they need to get to school).

He could have a long work day, meaning the kids with just be with a nanny anyway.

Or he may enjoy socializing/spending time with a girlfriend/whatever more than taking care of young children more than four days a month.

The last one is not meant as a knock on him as I have already mentioned that Kate seems to have plenty of time for her own interests.

Oh please..did you take a look last night? If those are new girls, she got robbed. There are plenty of people saying just what the surgeon said..bra bra bra (I guess it depends on what type of boards you hang on as to the rest of the civilized world is saying LOL..I mean really, you think the rest of the civilized world gives a darn if her girls are or aren't fixed). For those of you who have never tried getting a really high end bra, I suggest you try it. I suggest the same with your bathing suits..the better suits certainly help the girls out. You might like the results. Why would that be something she or anyone would lie about? What's the point? Is there something wrong with someone getting them uplifted? Many of us saw her ask to have them 'fixed' and heard what the surgeon said. So he was a liar too?

This thread is mostly just a bunch of gals posting what I consider hate (or intense dislike) about someone they don't know, but that TLC knew just what to do to get you to watch (and the hate sites are loving this..they have lots and lots of advertisers, and books to sell to you, so they can make money off the backs of the very kids they say they are protecting). And still, though you intensely disklike her, you all watch (oh, that's right, you all just heard and didn't watch, I fogot, you got all this info second hand), and because of that there may very well be someone still willing to give her a chance on a show of her own. This has gone wayyyy beyond when some of you said, just get the show stopped and save the kids. Now you say, we can say anything, even if it does hurt the kids later on, because she started it. The hate groups are writing (and bragging about it) hospitals in her area and telling them not to hire her. If she gets a show it will be because of you guys..you are giving her a chance. Nice of you LOL!!

Go ahead, have at it. I hope it makes you really feel good inside, nice and special, that you have her number..after all, it's all about getting the kids off TV, right? Or is it all about making sure Kate doesn't work again, so she (and the kids) learn a lesson. I'm glad I believe in second chances. The kids are off the air, and that makes me happy..the rest doesn't matter, since I won't be watching her anyway.

 

[diznygirl]

Not a hater.

I am flabbergasted, however. You won't hate on Kate, but you'll hate on all of us? Things that make ya go hmmmmmm.

 

[DMRick]

I'm with you..I've seen some threads be nasty on the dis in the past, but there is definately something about Kate that brings out the worse in people. Maybe the thought that she has stuff they don't and they feel she doesn't deserve it? It certainly can no longer be that they want the kids off the air..it's gone way beyond that.

Whatever, I leave you to continue your hate (excuse me intense dislike LOL) bash without me. The kids are off the show, I don't care what show Kate gets, just hope she finds a way to continue to support them without even more major changes in their lives. Believe me I don't hate anyone on this thread (but if you want to think that, I can't stop you). I actually feel sorry for some of the people on this thread..hate can just take over your life.

It's her personality- amplified by her life situation.

Listen- this is why I saw this thread and didn't post until someone stated there must not be anyone but haters left. You were all perfectly happy with your "Kate Hate" and I didn't want to interfere with your thread.

I will now leave you guys to your thread.

@@ Yes it's all about jealousy. Nothing at all to do with how ridiculous she is, how entitled she has become and how rude she is to the people around her. Nope people simply don't like her because they're jealous.

Exactly, even her best friend Jamie noted the difference, she said that the Kate she met was warm and this one was all about what to wear and how thin can I get.

I wouldn't begrudge her anything if she was gracious about it. I wonder how many parents would keep giving their children material things if they acted like Kate. If a child behaved like Kate they would be completely torn apart here on the DIS as being a spoiled snowflake. But because it is Kate, somehow we are all jealous, and that is the reason we are acting like this. Um no. Her attitude is why we are acting like that. I don't know why people can't see that, when even her friends say that she is the way she is. Even Steve was about ready to strangle her. I loved it when he told her he wasn't going to take care of that picture, he has done it in the past, I wonder what changed? I guess he is wrong also. not Kate, she is just peachy.

Whew - Doris! Don't want to get on your bad side!

The alleged enhancement - we'll never know. Frankly, she could have gotten a different surgeon. So even if that original surgeon said she didn't need it, I'm sure someone out there would do it. But you're right - could be fantastic bras combined with exercises which do help lift in that area.

As for TLC knowing what would get people to watch, it didn't work. The more they focused on the negative, the lower the ratings sunk. Kate did get something right last night when she said people initially tuned in to see how a large family functions and then kept tuning in because the kids were cute. But frankly, the kids got older and no longer do cute baby things and a bickering couple doesn't bring great ratings. So while us "haters" did tune in occasionally, it was not regular enough to sustain the show (especially with what they were paying them!). TLC is going back to the beginning essentially with the Jones family in Quints By Surprise. 5 cute 2 year olds with seemingly nice parents. I think they understand now what people initially liked about Jon + Kate Plus 8.

Everyone just take a deep breath. Do we really want to argue with each other about Kate Gosselin?

It could be but they look quite a bit different when she's wearing a bikini and she's not wearing a bra.

Seriously, she's not Michelle Obama or Angelina Jolie. What is someone going to do with a picture of her? And honestly, she's in public, what can Steve do about it?

I hate to make the comparison, but the Duggars have had a show for a while and none of them appear to have let it go to their heads. Their lifestyle has changed some, but they still shop at thrift stores.

Wow. For someone who has toiled so hard against all of us "haters" or as you like to put it "intensely dislikers" and has many posts railing against everyone else's anger, you sure do exert quite a bit of it here yourself, don't you? It would seem that you have some serious issues with anyone who says anything against Kate. If you're not a close friend of her's now, I surely hope you can be in the future.

In the first paragraph, you go to great lengths to prove that Kate's "girls" are real, even pontificating about the magic of high end bras (to which I say hogwash, btw) then after all that hard work, you say "is there something wrong with someone getting them uplifted"? I'm assuming you cannot see the glaring contradiction since you posted the comment, but.... its a glaring contradiction.

B***s don't suddenly get as big as one's head with exercise and a good bra... and she's wearing only a sports bra in this pic; not that it matters.

1) Sorry to see you go. It was actually entertaining to see someone continue to come up with new and imaginative ways to defend Kate Gosselin.

2) Post #443 is clear evidence that you should probably consider taking your own advice.

It's just tiring when there's something going on as clear as "the sky is blue" yet some people will sit there and go "well no, I don't think the sky is blue but if you insist it is it's only blue because the clouds made it that way!"

Kate has become an entitled, rude, all about me type of person. There's no way around it, and you can't blame her children, Jon, everyone else on the face of the planet.

Exactly and sorts bras have no padding and in fact flatten you because they are so supportive.

 

[Crazy4Disney72]

Did you notice that when the kids were asked about how they felt about the show ending, they all said, promptly, "Sad" but none of them LOOKED sad? One of the boys was even giggling. And one of the twins was pulling down the corners of her mouth and said "sad, that's why I am making a sad face." So one "fake" sad face, and the rest looked pretty happy. I have to say, that made me really wonder if they'd been coached to say they were sad.

I've watched this show on and off over the years. I always felt she treated Jon and the kids badly. I know there is editing, and it could be done to make things look worse, but she sure seems to give them a lot of material. The whole pizza thing was just ridiculous, and even if she was Little Miss Sunshine the rest of the day, it would still be horrible.

When I saw the clips of the crew playing and interacting with the kids, I was suddenly sorry that the show was ending. I bet they will miss the crew a lot - they seemed to play with the kids in a fun, relaxed way and the kids aren't going to get much of that from Kate.

Teresa

Yes, I did notice that! I really thought the younger kids looked like they were coached on what to say! The word they were using was sad, but their facial expressions and body language totally did not look sad at all! I'm not saying they're thrilled or relieved it's over, but I don't think they're as broken up over it as Kate would like us to think!
