I am a huge Kendra Wilkinson so I decided to tune in to watch Celebrity Wife Swap tonight. I saw a bit of Kate Gosselin on The View this morning and she had so much work done to her face I didn’t recognize her. She looks good, but she is unrecognizable. It looks like she had more work done since the filming of this show and her appearance on The View. We all know that Kate is a control freak. Kendra is extremely permissive with Hank Jr. This should be great.
Kate’s little robots are running the house while Kendra looks confused and can’t even make sandwiches without help. Meanwhile, Kate has nothing to do but drink and hang out with her friends. Kendra is being a trouper trying to get everything done while Kate is at a club. The next day Hank takes Kate golfing. Kate is living the life. Kendra is starting to bond with the kids.
Time for the switch-up Kate says no school for Hank (he’s 2 and a half) and no nanny, Kate will impose a rigid schedule. Hank has been a sweetheart so far but now he is getting pissed. Kendra switches the girls and boys tasks. Kendra also has some sort of a helper with her.(oh she was the stand-in for the husband) Kendra plays with the girls and they feed the chickens. Kate called cleaning up the toys playing basketball and he could not clean them up fast enough! Kendra is having a picnic and eating in the basement (they are only allowed to eat at the table).
At the sit-down Kate seems to upset Kendra by saying that the way she let’s everyone else handle things makes it seem like she doesn’t care. But at the end of the show everyone seemed to have learned what they needed to earn.
I was the only one who watched this crap wasn’t I?
were you speed writing/posting tamara? bc words are missing throughout the post . for example “I am a huge Kendra Wilkinson so I decided to tune …”.
Kate’s face looks madeup but she doesnt have that plastic filler look like all the BH HW.
I think Kate has chickens bc it is cheaper than buying eggs.
She was mean on her show(which I found unnecc since she has nannies, housekeepers, free vacations). Now I see structure(which is needed with 8 kids).
Kendra really doesnt do anything. I think having baby Hank in school (yes 2 2) is fine so he learns to share and socialise since he is an only child. But I agree w Kate that at 2.5 he should be sitting at the table and using a fork/spoon! I also agree that Kendra needs to spend more time with the family. family yoga is a great idea.
….also Kendra says she hates touching dirty close. when housekeeper goes on break or calls out sick, what does Kendra do?
Hank is so nice and nurtuting, I want him to marry me.
I love Kendra, but I was really shocked at how little she does. I mean, we all knew that she was the lazy one in the mansion, but from watching her new show, I didnt realize how much she is still living her life like that (the laziness I mean). I really hope that its true what it said at the end and that she is doing more and getting to share more of those familt bonding moments with Little Hank now. As for Kate, she may be bitch, and I thought the way she treated Jon was degrading (but he ended up being a womanizing loser anyway, so who cares), but she is amazing! I think she looks really good too. I also hope that she does start taking some time for herself. If anyone deserves it its her!
lori : how was jon a womanising loser? he cheated on kate with one other woman. but in reality there were separated and jon was living in the garage apartment. they just acted like they were married to keep the show going.
I didn’t say he was a cheater. I said he was a womanizer, and in my opinion, after their marriage I think he was.
I first saw Kendra on Girls next door and then the show with her husband that was on Sunday nights when she was she was still pregnant. I think she is just darling. I love how honest she is about her past and how she said Hugh Hefner was so good to her. She is just natural and honest. And Hank is a sweetheart. I think it was on channel E!. It was only on a few seasons and I miss it. What channel was this on? I never even heard of Celebrity Housewifes. I have never cared for Kate. I couldn’t stand how shitty she treated her husband at the end of everyepisode and how humiliating for him I was embarrassed for him No wonder he screwed around. Kate has a very narcasistic and selfish personality. She bitches about being broke yet she obviously goes to a tanning salon, has a good hair dresser and has had more work done on her face. Ugh. I would like to see this show tho with those two!.
I think Kate is doing an awesome job, especially by the interactions the older twins had with Kendra. They were very open and respectful of the process. Kendra learned a big lesson about structure when she took the kids out on a school night and they were late going to bed which meant they were tired when the woke the next morning. Lil Hank has someone put him to bed, unfortuntaely its not Kendra. Hank appeared to be very opinionated and lacking in realizing he was being a single parent in a two parent house hold.
Love this
I watched it! Kate’s kids are growing up fast. I was surprised to see how much the twin girls had grown. They looked so different from when I use to watch them on K&J +8. As always, each mom is an extreme- one is extremely organized/structured and the other is extremely relaxed. I like Kendra, but I had no idea she does absolutely nothing but sit by the pool all day. For some reason, I expected her to be a bit more hands on. And Kate needs to relax, but I already knew that about her. Overall, it was a good episode.
I watched it I love Kendra always have ! I was a big fan of the Girls next door. I also loved following the Gosselin kids I never hated Kate i enjoyed the swap show very much!
I think Kate is a great mom. Parenthood is hard enough imagine 8 kids, plus cooking, doing laundry and cleaning your house. Most parents I know just have one or two and they will honestly say parenthood is tough. I think Kate is doing an amazing job. Of course she implements structure, you have too with that many kids. Kendra on the other hand is dumb. She’s just the pretty blond that sits around doing nothing. Another parent needs to tell her and her husband about the importance of family time???? Really??? They didn’t know that?? And Kendra’s response was “I need my me time to get drunk and party and socialize.” Sounds like a great mom to me. Any mom who critiques another mom for being too hands on, too rigid, too structurally base like Kate is to her 8 kids is a mom who secretly wishes she could be that mom to her kids. It’s moms like Kendra that hands free type of parenting are the ones that worry me. Good thing they are rich and can afford a nanny because if they were poor its those kids that would run a muck in our society because mom was too busy sitting outside next to the pool doing jack shit.
I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS!!! thanks for the recap– i hope to catch it on a rerun
I posted above that I was bummed that I missed it too, until I discovered that I could watch it for free on Hulu! Who knew???? I always thought you had to pay for Hulu. I didnt realize you can watch tons of shows for free. I hooked my laptop up to my TV and took my wireless mouse into the bed with me and viola! I am so glad I got to see it too. It was really good.
I like Kendra also. She is so down to earth and just wants to have fun. Kate has to be the enforcer with her kids. It would be total chaos without all of her rules; Idon’t see anything wrong with the way Kate’s kids are raised. I don’t understand what she is doing to her face, she is only 37 years old. Lay off the Botox for awhile.
Love Kendra and use to watch Kate show. I ended up liking both of them. Kate is doing a good job with 8 kids. Kendra is still sweet and fun.
I was going to watch this to the extent that it didn’t go off the rails and have each mother being as petty and mean to each other as the non-celebrity swaps have been. Those were always set-ups so that carping and ugliness was the side show, as families were videoed during some of the messiest stuff.
I was very pleasantly surprised that the negative wasn’t the whole show and both Moms became more self aware about their lives. Pretty good stuff. That said….the previews for next week are full of celebrity bullshit.
I watched the show and was really surprised. I really like Kendra and know she is still a sort of wild child but from her other shows, had no idea how little hands on she appeared to be. And every woman should be married to a Hank, he is a dream and so hands on. Little Hank is just adorable and for an only child we really didn’t see him exhibit any bad behavior. I was prepared to hate Kate…well becuz she is Kate. It was funny to see her actually relax and enjoy Hank although I tend to think she is such a bull dog that if she was married to a man like Hank, she would manage to emasculate him in short order.
I sort of miss seeing the 8 kids, as a former fan of Jon and Kate plus 8. You have to admire on the one hand, Kate’s attention to detail but she is over the top obsessive compulsive and I can’t help but think that this isn’t good for the kids. Notice how her well behaved kids immediately broke into squabble mode the minute the rules were lifted. Not that sibling squabbling is bad just that these kids are so rigid I don’t think they are allowed to be “real”. There doesn’t seem to be any opportunities for spontaneity and Maddy and Cara as the oldest have never been allowed to be just kids.
Kate still comes across as a self obsessed selfish person who does all these great things for her kids (the organic hens for breakfast eggs, etc.) just so she can be held up on a pedestal as the perfect loving Mom. Don’t doubt that she loves her kids but they are in place as her meal ticket. Glad Kendra learned a few things about doing more family related things as it will help her family….she has a good thing and I would hate to see her or any family in a situation like that lose it.
Have to admit to being a little disappointed as I expected Kate to have an over the top meltdown and temper tantrum…..is it possible that Kate is finally growing up herself?
I am sooooooo upset that I missed this! How did I miss it???? Ugh. Thank you for the recap though.
love Kendra, can’t stand Kate. Didn’t watch the show.
Our love for big brother and liking Kendra basically means we are the same person.
If I still had cable I’d have watched it eventually. I like Kate and Kendra. Caught a few partial episodes of one of Kendra’s shows (in one episode Hank was waiting and hoping to get picked up by a team) and liked it.
I’ll catch it tomorrow, used to like J & K + 8,
want to see how the kids have grown…
I watched too!!I think it was quite pleasant.
