I didn't understand why Kate made the comment about the fridge under the counter. Didn't she remember the morgue they had last summer in the North Carolina house for the hermit crabs. Easy access for the kids. She sounded like she had never heard of that before.

You know...I probably would have looked at him the same way. I wouldn't think of a fridge under the counters either, and with all the issues they were having at the time I'm sure a snarky comment would come out of my mouth too..

I would have had a hard time not being snarky too...especially since he was laid over the table all sullen looking.

I have a friend who found out her husband was "dating." They were trying to work through it, counseling, etc. A few weeks in she was making dinner. She was putting two chicken breasts in the oven and accidentally dropped one of the floor. She was relating the story b/c her point was she didn't have anything else to fix and she had ruined dinner. My point was--dinner wasn't ruined. Just make sure cheater husband got the chicken that had been on the floor with the dog hair. See, I would have a hard time not exacting revenge in a hundred self-satisfying little ways;)
 
And the multiple stories on how the catering trucks show up on filming days and that Kate only needs to cook the meals that they are actually filming.
Kate not only didn't deny that the show is catered on days they film, but she embraced it. I didn't know it, until she told us. That's something that would be in my contract..yippee, I wouldn't have to cook on filming days!

In the same way, I'm also seeing there are posters who don't want to see anything wrong with them doing the show, and will defend it that way, and others who definitely think the show should be cancelled.

And there are people in between, who hope that TLC and K & J are being honest about the amount of filming. If they aren't, then I can easily change camps. I've certainly changed over and over in the years this show has been on.


We aren't in their lives, we have no idea, beyond what they tell us, how much choice the kids get to be filmed, how much time they actually spend in front of the camera's and if there really are any retakes. I do see kids that seem happy and comfortable with the camera crew, and who appear to love both their mom and dad. Until the books get written, we really will only have what they give us.
 
I caught that as well and had to shake my head. Then I thought, well if this is around the time when the cheating started then I would have been barking at him as well.
And she did say something like, I guess he lives on this planet, which was sort of admitting he knew what he was talking about.

I did catch that was just another of Jon's jobs..working with installing kitchens.
 

Did anyone notice the whole smores thing, with the strategically placed Hershey Bars, with the very first commerical after the segment being a Hershey's commercial.

It really made me sick to my stomach---how can these kids not be being used. I cannot believe in this day and age, there is no way for anyone seek protection on their behalf. With all the money being made by mom and dad, I do not understand why no one has not stopped production of this show, and sought outthe legalities in this family situation!!

I just can't imagine getting so upset about a little product placement?? :confused3
 
Really? We're going to get that bent out of shape about product placement? Hersey supplies everything, pays a fee and that's it. How is it harming the children?

Does a child wearing a Disney World t-shirt need protection? they are giving Disney World free advertising.

Oh, I did catch that and meant to mention it. He has had more jobs than my husband who has only recently "found himself" and it truly was a stress on our marriage in the early years. Maybe this is one of the reasons Kate has embraced the money--she knows it is a way she can support 8 kids on her own. I have 2 college degrees and couldn't begin to support 8 kids!

Also, I always use Hershey bars when making smores. If I'm ever on TV, I'll be glad to turn them toward the camera in exchange for fee Hershey bars. Sorry to my kids--go tell Oprah or hire a shrink.

speaking of Disney, related to the Gosselins .. I wonder what the connection is between Discovery Communications and Disney. The little couple went to WDW in one of their episodes recently. That's 3 of the reality shows on TLC that have been filmed at a Disney park. Just sort of interesting, I think.
 

:eek:

What is wrong with him? :sad2:

I will say after watching last night's kitchen episode...I was a tad bit mad at Kate for jumping down Jon's throat about the under the counter fridge...:rolleyes:

Yeah to the bibs...I saw them all piled on the kitchen counter and before you know it, Kate was saying goodbye to them. :thumbsup2

Now I noticed something last night...they were showing a clip of the 'tups 5th birthday party. Jon was wearing a UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA t-shirt...isn't that where Hailey Glassman went to college???? :confused:
 
anyone live in Austin? Busy on August 8?

I really like that picture of Kate.

As a Mom there is absolutely no way I'd even consider moving that far.

Completely agree!

What strikes me about the last few pages, though, is that clearly no one understands the legalities of a custody agreement.

That's an awfully strong statement....

BTW, I'm just in the process of closing on our first "condo" in Orlando :rotfl2 ie. a floating prime week 3Bd at Cypress Pointe Resort. :cheer2: For TS's in Orlando, you can look them up in the Orange County database -- wonder if you can do that in Park City?

Love, love, LOVE IT there!! We stayed there in December and would totally stay there again and again! Super close to Disney and really a decent condo for the price!

neither parent maintains a residence in the state where their children live and own a home. and they're choosing to do that. that just says a lot to me.

Do you think that's part of the agreement? Do you think that has anything to do with other "job" possibilities for the parents or kids?

:scared1:
I can't believe someone said they had 100K stashed in the house. What a way to put the family in danger.

What a smart move....hope Steve and security are paying extra close attention now!

My sister told me, it is automatically reported. So if Kate is stashing money, she probably has no idea, that there really is a paper trail that Jon could find if he really wanted too.

I would think if she was trying to be sneaky, she'd withdraw $1000 here or there or something like that instead of a huge amount all at once...

So if Kate made large withdraws this indeed would be the case. But if she did this over time and in amounts that didn't trigger the form than she could possibly get away with it. Especially if the account she used for these transactions was only in her name.

Exactly what I was thinking....if she was "taking" money, she'd probably do it (I guess I would if it were me) over time instead of a huge amount.

Did you all notice Kate's book "strategically" placed on the book shelf behind her? I do have to say, though, the new "interview set" looks better than ever before, not so dreary.

Can't get the video to play in the link :sad2:

So they still selling that Kate is doing it all alone? People really don't know about the nannies, helpers and crew that helped Kate put up the tent and will get the kids in the car?

I know someone back commentted (and I've thought to myself before) about how come the van was never "upgraded" before....well they have the "bus" now right?? Do they even use the big van any more other than to tape something for the show?? When they went to Charm City Cakes, Kate mentioned going on "our bus" and "our drvier" wouldn't tell them where they were going..... Jsut a thought.

I do hope they donated the "old" cabinets to someone who could use them. I would love to have those, as my cabinets are 25 years old. :sad2:

I would hope they've donated a LOT of things they've "remodeled" or replaced over time to other organizations and people that could use them.

Did anyone notice the whole smores thing, with the strategically placed Hershey Bars, with the very first commerical after the segment being a Hershey's commercial.

I would let my kids make smores and someone tape it and Herseys to show a commercial for free Hersey bars - my kids would be in heaven! :rotfl: I don't see how using chocolate and the company buying ad time during the show is "exploiting" the kids honestly....I know someone's making money off the ad and the kids are using the product but there were WAY more obvious/blatent times this has occurred. No one's getting hurt and the kids are having a good time (I would assume...I haven't seen last night's show yet).


That's really classy! :eek:
 
I'd place Hershey bars on my head in a tu-tu and dance in an ad, if Hershey would pay me LOL. There were a few commercials last night that came on right after they used a product (that matched the product). That's how everyone gets paid in the reality shows.
I make s'mores almost every weekend with my grands..what else would I use, other than Hershey bars?

I too noticed the 'extra' swim rings around the kids. Between Kate and the camera crew, I assume someone would have gone into lifeguard mode if she tipped. When my son was a baby, and in one of those baby rings with the seat, we had him in the pool (we were also in the pool) with about a dozen kids, all going in a circle, and suddenly someone noticed he was floating upside down. He was fine, but it was scary, and I could see how that would happen with these rings.

Who's turn from TLC to read our comments today? Be sure to tell Kate, that isn't a good idea!

I agree!!! Especially since Hershey is moving a bunch of jobs and a plant to Mexico but have money to splurge on Jon & Kate. I didn't think the roasting of marshmallows would ever end. Is Hershey chocolate organic?????
