I saw the Crayola Factory episode for the first time last night. Surely Kate has heard of washable markers? I think she is getting worse as time goes on. Geez! Let them be kids and get messy now and then. Wear old clothes! Way back when on this thread, I used to defend her..LOL! I still enjoy the show. Kids are always cute![]()
The funny thing is, I was watching the Jon cooks dinner episode last night and when he went out with Joel and Alexis, Kate did a project with the other kids where they were using what looked like Bingo markers to write their names. You know those things with ink in them and the sponge on the end that makes the dots. She didn't seem stessed out while they were doing that.
A lot of people seem to get worked up over the "stuff" that the family gets. The free stuff is not limited to the Jon and Kate crew. It makes for better TV when the families are actually out doing things than sitting in their homes on the computer or playing outside. The families they spotlight obviously have appeal to the viewing public, so why not spice up their lives a little by sending them on vacation or letting them go on a local jaunt.
The Duggars went to Disneyland on one of their specials and had a CM escort through the park. They presented them all with gold ears with their names on them and they had a private meeting with the characters.
The Roloffs have been on many trips. They talk about their financial woes, but rented a private yacht in the Caribbean for a week, which I'm sure TLC provided. They also had an awesome experience in Hawaii and stayed in a beautiful resort. They also get free stuff just like the Gosselins to promote on the show. There was a whole episode where the kids and parents were playing with their new Wii and every family member must have said Wii 20 times. It was obvious that they were a new sponsor.
That's how the network makes their money. We can't blame Jon and Kate for that.
