Jon and Kate Plus 8 official Thread, Part 2!!

[TotalSnowWhite]

I'm not offended - simply pointing out that you are hardly on the "friendly" side if you are calling people with opposing opinion names....

Again...referring to friendly towards the Gosselins. Again...is it ok that fans of the show are called sheeple?

 

[Desnik]

I just looked up next weeks show and it says Maddie and Cara play mommy. They let the girls take care of the kids, feed them, etc and the girls realize it isn't an easy job.

I have posted occasionally on the first J&K+8 thread, I don't think I have posted here yet. I am a lurker and I just love this show. I love reading all the differing opinions.

I am sorry I did not spell it out simply and plainly for you. People with opposing opinions should not be called names. This thread was going along nicely with people respecting both sides - any reason why this had to start up again?

I've said that all along. It's not ok for people to not like the show (and call names like Sheeple) ... but it is ok for the supporters to call those that don't like the show bashers and rip them a new one, mostly done under the premise of supporting St. Jon & Kate of TVdom. It makes no sense. none.

I've never tried to sway anyone from their opinion of the show, ever. But I do feel as though people try to sway me. Bugs me to no end

Well, I do enjoy the Gosselins...so I'm apparently not that smart. It wouldn't have started up had you not responded. I didn't quote or mention anyone in particular, but maybe you felt my comment applied to you? Who knows. If you refuse to respond, it (at least between you and I) stops here. I, however, can't resist a good DIS debate and will most likely keep responding...well, until about 7:00 tonight when I will be going to bed to wake up obscenely early tomorrow.

It wouldn't have started up had you not made a negative comment about people with differing opinions. Once again - this thread was going along fine with people respecting both sides until you jumped in with your comment. It's ok for people to not like the show - really.

Organic lollipops and free Hawaii trips!! :insert twilight zone music here:

TSW has been around the JK8 threads forever. Her comments don't stir the pot .. not like mine do

I'll state my opinion for the 100th time, not that anyone ever listens.

It's a TV show. If you don't like it, you have the option to change the channel or turn off the television.

Yes, I enjoy the show. I like watching the kids. Kate and/or Jon don't get on my nerves. I could care less why or how Jodi and/or Beth may or may not have been compensated. I don't care what they do or do not get for free. And no, I am not a sheeple.

And, yes, I am reading "Mixed Blessings", which yes, I did BUY from Walmart. (GASP! NO!!) It's as interesting as any other autobiography.

Done ...

am I missing drama around the book? I don't read the blogs much, anymore .. so I'm out of that loop. You bought the book - should you have stolen it, instead? I don't get it.

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

I knew this thread would be jumping this morning.

I laughed and laughed when Hannah told Jon "Those aren't yellow cars, they are taxi's". Too cute and so Hannah.

I hope Jon and Kate sell so many books and make so much money that they don't know what to do with it all. I wish them continued success.

I thought that was cute too!

I would have flipped out over those caramel covered lollipops....so sticky and gross on all those little ones!!

Yes, there was some controversy that Kate was getting even more money from her family by writing and SELLING a book.

I'm not sure I get that. I mean, I get where people about them writing a book. Because if Kate's true intent for writing the book with Beth was to preserve memories for her children, why publish it? Write it privately for your children and be done with it.

I don't think that's how Kate rolls, though ... and I don't think that's the intent of the book. I think someone (Kate, Beth, Jon, TLC, Zondervan .. whoever) felt like the Gosselin story would make a compelling book and sold the idea.

I thought there might be some drama with buying the book at Wal-Mart or something. LOL

why did Kate make a point of saving only Hannah's lollipop for later?

 

[MichelleVW]

why did Kate make a point of saving only Hannah's lollipop for later?

Because she loves Hannah the most don't ya know!

I honestly was wondering about that too..

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

I could be wrong but Hannah's lollipop looked different than the others. Her's looked like a blow-pop which have gum inside. GMA had the lollipops, so perhaps Hannah picked one that was different. If it was a blow-pop then it wouldn't be as sticky as the carmel ones.
