Jon and Kate Plus 8. Official Thread!!

[CottonCandyLvr]

Seriously, how do you get your information. You make it seem like you know all the info as FACT. When unless your family you don't know anything that went down. Unless you are quoting from that hate site that only speculates based on what Jodi tells Julie. I know you said you needed to get on her and correct inaccurate facts. Im just wondering where you get your info from. Im new to this blog and it just appears like you really dislike this family.

What I wrote was directly from Julie's site. The same site Jodi said was 100% true. The same site that has gotten J&K so crazy as to hire a PR firm to repair their image.

Now, instead of calling me a troll and a liar and a duck, why not actually research things yourself like I have? I don't think you have done any research. If you had, you'd see that everything I have written is truth. Instead you resort to silly baby games of calling people names like duck and troll.

Right. Which is why you have to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Amy Roloff can come off as being harsh with her husband too but he is another big kid that is constantly starting new projects.

If HE was my husband, I swear it would be the first murder filmed on reality TV! Seems like he constantly has the house torn up for something or other.

 

[FergieTCat]

First of all this thread is about Jon and Kate Gosselin, not FergieTCat or CottonCandyLvr, stick to the issue and not talk about me as I am not talking about you, 'kay?

Was that a threat?

 

[CottonCandyLvr]

And then to just kick her to the curb because she didn't want her "making money off the kids, just she could" ?

It was never about the money! Never! It was all about Kate's jealousy that (a) Jodi was receiving a lot of fan mail and (b) people were saying Jodi was a better Mom than Kate.

Kate couldn't have HER FANS like someone else.

Jodi had to go, even at the cost of upsetting her own kids.

Go back and read Julie's blog.

The J & K internet police, oops, excuse me, I mean CottonCandyLvr has posted elsewhere as I've read their posts using the same I.D., same posting "style", wording, etc.

I believe CCL posted on TWOP quite a bit, always swooping in for the "kill" when anyone posted anything remotely kind/positive about J & K plus 8.

Unbelievably sad commentary on the state of ones life when one is absolutely consumed with the daily task of trying to destroy the lives of complete strangers!

Of course they have posted elsewhere; they obviously know (at least of)the family and disagree with them being portrayed differently than "real life" on a "reality show." I don't think they have swooped in at all. It's a public forum and opinions and experiences are varied. There have been lots of "brushes with Gosselins" on this thread. Neighbors, someone who grew up with Kate,the lady whose daughter did the twins hair at bippiddi-boppidi, etc. None positive unfortunately.

 

[whitneyNC]

While I agree that Jon Gosselin has done some boneheaded things on the show ... he does a LOT of the work with the kids. Bath & bedtime routine, playing outside. Kate basically sits and tells him what to do most of the time. At least she has in the last couple of episodes.

ITA, what must she think when she looks back?

 

[AlleyKat]

I don't think they have swooped in at all.

Re-read my previous post. I was referring to their involvement/postings on TWOP.

First of all,the fact that you admit yourself you post on GWOP says alot. That site is just plain nasty and horrible. Its an attack site that is completely one sided. They do not let fans of any kind post on that site. and not everything on that site is true. Second, why does Jodi have the right to be 100% accurate? Why is what she says the absolute truth. I found a really nice comment somewhere that sums up GWOP and where your taking your SO CALLED TRUTHS FROM.:

"The anatomy of a rumor ala GwoP. If we repeat the same rumor over and over and over and over again it is now fact and we can say that it has been "reported." Similarly, if we hold on to an opinion passionately and fervently enough, that opinion now rises to the level of FACT."

Are you actually Julie?? (lol) There's nothing worse than an internet bully and Ive seen alot on plenty of sites. And I am NOT accusing you of this as I just got onto this thread and have no idea of your posts. However, from what Ive seen, all I say is be careful. As the one thing both TWOP & Fans of Reality TV have in common was internet bullies trying to ram J&K truths down peoples throats to the point where they were closed permanently. Im not a fan of Kate myself, but this is a Disney thread! And whats up with that person calling her the devil?? Totally inappropriate.

Whitney? REALLY!! I mean, "my God! who cares if I've posted here or elsewhere or if and what my other name may have been. Or if I'm a neighbor, friend or family member of the Gosselins!"

WHO CARES!

I'd like one of the fans here to give me a plausible explanation to why Kate got rid of Jodi. Why would Kate get rid of a woman who babysat her 8 kids WITHOUT PAY, OR BIRTHDAY AND CHRISTMAS GIFTS, for 7 yrs, and replace her with a paid non family member?

 

[bluesaturn]

What is the motive of the GWoP site? I am seriously wondering. Do they want to shut down the show? Guilt the Gosselins into changing their ways? I just think it's kind of a sad thing to dedicate your life to, because clearly neither is going to happen.

Jon and Kate are not going to change. And people are not going to stop watching the show. As the rumors come out and TLC amps up publicity, I've seen more and more people start watching from curiosity. We all know that show isn't going to end until the kids aren't "cute" anymore. It just seems like the arguing in either direction is futile.

Everything GWoP has posted can be researched (like I've done myself) and backed up with facts.

The question I have is, "Have you researched anything yourself?"

Really? Jon and Kate haven't changed? Yes they have. They hired PR and done major damage control. That is change to me.

All I've got to say is that you have to have a LOT of time on your hands to not only waste time spamming a random message board, but also to extensively "research" a family of complete strangers on a simple reality show. You asked "who cares?!" a few posts back and it's a valid point to be asked of you as well. Why in the world do you care so much about this?!! Do you have your own family to worry about?

Again, what I do on my free time doesn't concern you. Let's stick to the matter at hand, give me some plausible explanations for the things Kate has done that people have questions about.

And what people do on their own free time doesn't concern you. People can think whatever they want about the show, whether they like it or not. Putting down people's opinions because they don't have the time (or urge) to research a reality show is ridiculous.

dude...

Whitney? REALLY!! I mean, "my God! who cares if I've posted here or elsewhere or if and what my other name may have been. Or if I'm a neighbor, friend or family member of the Gosselins!"

I was on your side. I have always thought you were legit. You got it all wrong.

People question things on that site all the time ... more and more so, it seems.

It is a nasty site, make no mistake about it. But to say that they don't allow fans of any kind post isn't true. Many of the blog entries are from long-time fans of JK8 that have become disillusioned, have questions, and started searching on the internet. Some of the entries are very poignant.

There are the die-hard fans of the show, the die-hard bashers of the show, and everyone in between ... we hear from neighbors, former friends ... even Jon & Kate themselves have a message on their own website telling people not to believe everything they read unless it's on their (outdated) website or TLC. But, in light of this growing controversy, they haven't spoken out against the rumors. Nor have friends who know them, to say these things aren't true. Where are the people that know Jon & Kate now? Anyone... clergy, former coworkers, neighbors? Why haven't they or don't they speak out?

 

[CottonCandyLvr]

Whitney I'm sorry that this is a chat and you can't hear my voice when I say things but I was AGREEING with you.

No worries.
