honestly, it sounds a lot like bad timing to me... Kate had a legitimately busy week, maybe it wasn't the right time to bring them out. But at the same time, we all know Kate's time is limited on the show and I'm sure that the trip was offered as part of the involvement on DWTS (with ABC/Disney's partnership), so there they are.
I guess there are still restrictions about the children on TV. I expected to read that they showed footage of DL(maybe that's tomorrow's show?) or that they were in the audience.
Madge you seem to be struggling with still trying to make it all "fit" in your mind. You seem to still wanna cut her some slack and still think that Kates this mom who is trying to earn some money on DWTS to support her kids and missed them so she flew them out to LA to take them to Disney and her DWTS schedule and being with the kids exhausted her and so wasnt able to dance well...
The truth is that Kate Gosselin hardly ever practiced and thats why she sucked.
Kates too lazy to really try to "get it".
Kates ego being what it is, she thougt her charm and cute BS would get her thru DWTS and shed ace it and everyone would love her. But after that first initial week when this picture was taken
She never really tried to get it and prefered to go tanning, shopping and get her mani/pedis and go on talk shows etc and did minimal practicing thereafter.
DWTS was supposed to be her last ditch effort to make her over and get people to like her. But it did the opposite, Shes now a laughing stock and we see what a witch she is and that she really doesnt wanna be a Mom. shes far more interested in dumping them with Nannies and seeking fame.
And that is why they rushed the kids out to LA and Disney, because people were wondering why she stopped going home to Pa to practice and that she hadnt seen them in 2 weeks so it was all hastily arranged and they were brung out and thats why Kate looks horribly unhappy to be with them. Cause she IS!
She got bored long ago with mommyhood.
Its all about HER and all about HER FAME!
