Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 8

[madge]

Kate was on Good Morning America this morning,
did anyone get to see it?
I think I may get to watch it tonite,
dh is sick with allergies, and he was sleeping by 7:00 last nite.
And, Little People, Big World starts tonite on TLC.
So, I'll be switching back and forth.

I just posted the link, LOLOL!

QUOTE:

After a rocky rehearsal spat in which Tony Dolovani quit on Kate Gosselin, he says things are going much better this week.

"I just got done with our first practice," he Twittered Wednesday. "The Paso is going great "

Despite two terrible performances (one judge called Gosselin, 35, a "nightmare" on the dance floor), she and Dolovani, 36, managed to survive the first round.

To make it to finals, he recently told Access Hollywood that she needs to trust him more.

She is slowly coming around.

"She's starting to understand regardless of how tough I may be ... I'm on her side," he said. "I'm actually trying to make her look good ... I'm not actually going against her. I'm not trying to cause any problems for her. All I'm trying to do is make her look good."

Gosselin said that despite Dolovani being a "great" teacher, they are bound to clash occasionally.

"He has as much pressure as a teacher as I have as a student," she told Access. "It's a hard, hard thing."

I really, really like Tony, but "to make the finals" she needs a LOT more than to trust him (starting with at least a little bit of talent). If she made the finals with her level of talent, it would be a nightmare!

The tups are dressed alike and she has said that except for the cameras sake, they don't dress alike. They are obviously in the front of the house, so yeah, maybe they were taken from the road, the lenses are amazing I guess. It just came out that radar pays for pics (ocotmom told, I guess it was a big secret?), so maybe the paps were invited. This doesn't look like a spontaneous egg hunt to me. They have plenty of unwooded side and back yard. I will never understand why they "live" in the front yard if they want privacy and don't want to be photographed. I hope the kids had fun. Did Kate look like she was enjoying herself? I don't know if I'll watch tonight or not. I really hope she does at least a little better. It was hard to watch last week and not feel bad.

Yes, Kate looked like she was having a good time. Perhaps she dressed them alike for Easter? They looked very cute.

Doesn't the road go across the bottom of that picture, and the only place they can't 'see' is the actual back yard, where the hill is (right in back of the house where is slopes down..it's hard to see it from the air)? I think someone said it's a little hill leading up to the barn too. It also seems like there is more greenery now than in that picture. In any case, as we've said many times, she has the right to use whatever part of her property she wants..maybe she thought the paps had finally left her alone, since we haven't seen pics in ages. I'm glad we got to see those cuties having such a good time, so shame on me for being glad the photo's were taken and posted LOL.

I didn't think it was a spontaneous egg hunt. I assume it was planned. It would take time to fill the plastic eggs, get them hid, etc. We have learned not to put ours out for the grands too early though, because the darn squirrels chew through the plastic eggs to get to any candy that has nuts in it..and they (our plastic eggs) were only out there for about an hour.

Does Radar pay Kate for the pics, or do they pay the paps for the pics? I wasn't sure what you meant. They have always paid the paps for photo's so that's no secret.

And that's what makes DWTS not one of my favorites. People with a large fan base have as good a chance to making it to the finals as those who can actually dance. Although with this group there are so many that can't dance, they need the fans desparately..like Kate LOL!!!
I can't wait until tonight, to see if there is any improvement. It would take a lot for her to dance smoothly. If she does improve, then kudo's to her..but I just don't see how it could happen, she was that bad.

Well, my own opinion, not much with Kate is ever unplanned. Looked like a total photo-op to me, pink heels, matching outfits and all. YMMV.

I'm not very familiar with the property, but they seem to have a nice pool area out back. Not tick infested and in the woods. And BTW, how many eggs do the kiddies need to collect anyway? Eh, 2 or 3 each should be plenty. We know Kate likes organic, although her sugar tolerance is surprisingly high.

I'm hoping to watch tonight's dance, but I can't promise. I had a busy day and may not stay awake. I'll probably watch You Tube tomorrow if I drop off.

Fingers crossed that it is Kate, as Kate, and Tony representing a member of the paparazzi. Anything else would be very squicky!

something I noticed about the pictures. last year, when Jon & Kate were at the peak of their tabloid appearances, the pictures showed up on a site called sosugary.com. The most recent pics there are from January.

the easter egg hunt pics ( a few more than on radar ) are seen here:
http://infdaily.com/celebrities/Kate-Gosselin

INF is a tabloid photography site... no clue who's paying for them. My guess is that National Enquirer (RadarOnline) is paying for them, and Kate is not being compensated.

 

[madge]

holy crap. that was terrible.

(yes. I watched. my shows weren't on tonight because of the basketball game)

 

[Promomx2]

If Kate gets through this week, I wonder if it's because people are voting to keep her on because she can't dance, like they did with Sanquay on American Idol? It hurt to watch her tonight. I'm sorry but I've seen bears dance better than Kate at the zoo.

she'll be on until her book comes out... just in time for her to do press for getting voted off & selling the book.

I think it's because the producers of the show want her to stay on. It's why she always dances at the end, they want viewership. I don't wholly believe the voting process, they can do what they want.

It was extremely odd and hard to watch. I actually felt bad for her, her dancing was bizarre and she just couldn't get into the character at all.

I agree, she has been the last or next to last dancer every week. The producers are smart, they know if she dances later that people will keep tuned in. Just goes to show how much star power Kate actually has! Ironic isn't though that she couldn't get her anger to come across??? Maybe Tony should've come out on the floor with a new shower head that he bought without a coupon! Then we'd have seen Kate's angry face and it would've worked for the dance!

what dancing? she walked around on the dance floor. there was no dancing at all.

and the stylist made an awful choice for hair & makeup. she looked ridiculous.

 

[brittsmum1998]

I'm thinking maybe she isn't as "mad" at the paps as she would like us to believe .

Gee Madge, tell us what you really think, lol! I agree with you too, she did just walk around and occasionally stomp a little. I just think she doesn't have a single dancing bone in her body. It was strange to watch. I'm guessing the whole audience was dead quiet in shock. She can't get into character either. Kate looks the same no matter what dance she's doing, maybe that's part of the reason she looks so bizarre out there. Like a mannequin/robot or something?

 

[madge]

Gee Madge, tell us what you really think, lol!

Why beat around the bush? LOLOL ... I will say this. Even though she didn't dance and had bad wardrobe... neither of those are really her fault. She can't help it if she can't dance, some people just can't. I'm sure Tony did the best he could to arrange something around her. And she can't help if the wardrobe people made her look silly. Now, I'm going on the assumption that there are people other than Kate who picked out what she wore, the hair, and the makeup... I could be totally wrong about that.

I think they are in the pool area by some of the landscaping. I think they are crossing the whole front of the house area.

You must have awful egg hunts if you only spring for 2 or 3 eggs for everyone

I think there's just nothing to work with for Tony. She can't dance. I'm not slamming her, it's just obvious that dancing is not her thing. It's not mine either and I certainly wouldn't go on a live dancing show to prove it!

As far as hair and wardrobe go, I don't think the celebs have a say in it. I'm pretty sure they did a segment on it seasons ago, like a behind the scenes where you saw the hair/makeup people doing their thing as well as the wardrobe department. She did look a tad frightful, almost like a gothic spanish dancer. Her makeup was very severe and her hair looked like a bunch of straw gathered to the side. There have been many times when I've watched the show and wondered what in the heck were the stylists thinking when they chose a certain outfit or look! Some of them are really very strange.

She is so bad...but if they have a sq dance she will rock.

LOL!! Good one.

Bad dancing, bad outfit, horrible make up. That said, the fan sites seem to love her and are saying it was difficult to get through the phones, as her number was busy, and some said the lines were tied up. I don't get it. I always voted for who I thought was the best dancer. But reading the fan sites, people want her to stay..a few even thought she was good (are they looking at the same show I am?). Hey, I give her (and the other's) credit for trying. It has to be hard. But she really can't dance, no matter how hard she tries. I was very surprised that she got better scores than Buzz this week. Now excuse me while I go bleach my eyes.
