Somehow, it slipped my mind that Kate Plus 8 was on TLC last night. TeeCee tweeted me toward the end of the show having some sort of aneurysm about it, so I was able to tape the midnight showing. I shall once again take one for the team. Let’s get started shall we?
As we return to this show, the sextuplets are turning 10, so Kate needs a show to pay for a big birthday bash and TLC was kind enough to oblige. I already went to open up TeeCee’s timeline to see what she had to say about the blond mop sitting on Kate’s head during her talking head segments. It’s awful. He skin looks really bad too. No glam squad budget from TLC?
Oh god. I was not told there would be birds. I hate birds. I hate people who let birds land on them and shit in their hair. I hate them so much! Even worse is that Kate is talking about what an animal lover she is. Am I the only one who remembers when they got a dog or two (Maybe it was Jon that got them?) and Kate let the kids all get attached to the dogs and then took them away to the pound or wherever? The kids are fighting over the bird. This gives me hope that one of them will accidentally squeeze it too hard.
So far we have spent five minutes talking about making breakfasts for the kids. Dear Lord, now it is a retrospective of feeding the kids over the years. Apparently, they have chickens so that the boys can do “all those man things.” This woman is psycho. She is rambling on an on in her talking head about shit her best friend would not be interested in over coffee.
It is supposedly the kids’ Spring Break, so naturally Kate has a full agenda of forced-family fun they will enjoy whether they want to or not. There was a military briefing with the children. Mady dares to point out that the plans are not fun, so she gets a tongue lashing on national television and her cell phone taken away. How the hell is she supposed to call for help now? Prediction: Mady will be pregnant and living with her boyfriends parents within two years.
Jesus, the bitch literally has a CHART for going to some sort of Gymboree type place. She points out that “they are always wanting to go there.” The kids look like they have just been told all the birds are dead. Mady starts talking about how one of the game choices on the chart (gaga ball) is stupid and they don’t let you do anything so none of the little kids should pick that. Seems like a 13 year old reviewing a dumb game for the benefit of her siblings to me, but Kate starts whining about how she is trying to plan a fun day and no one appreciates her. My god what is wrong with this woman. I think Mady should run far away now and try to get adopted by a pack of wolves. It would be preferable to her current situation.
It just keeps getting worse for Kate. The kids are touching the cardboard chart! Kate can’t decide what activity she wants to vote for because she doesn’t want to ice skate and break a bone. She tries to point out how she broke her foot last year and suffered on mothering 8 children. All the kids respond that it was just a toe. Poor Kate. This is not going well. Where is her childrens’ love and adoration for her? What is wrong with all of these horrid little children? The kids voted for ice skating and the game Mady thought was dumb.
At the forced fun place, which is apparently called Body Zone, Mady says she doesn’t want to play Gaga Ball which was selected via the chart by majority rule. It doesn’t seem to require a certain number of players, but Kate forces her to play anyway. Mady has said at least 20 times so far that her mother refuses to listen to her. Mady’s twin (Cara?) has not said three words and seems to be picking at her clothes a lot and praying for a swift and painless death.
During, Gaga ball, Kate surprises Mady with her best friend Jenna. This appeases Mady and she begins to enjoy the game. That is until Kate plays ruthlessly in order to win, knocking out Mady in the last round. Because, cunt. By the way, Mady was right, the game was stupid.
Collin tells one of his sisters her hair is ugly. Kate tells him to keep his opinions on things like that to himself. He grins sheepishly causing Kate to go on a rampage about tearing people down instead of building them up. Really? She’s torn into Mady at least twice and now Collin is getting it. She asks him what else he could of said. He can’t think of anything. I have the DVR paused and he is looking at his mother with pure hatred. At the end of her spewing she says, “That is the last time I want to have to talk to you today. You will never get a girlfriend or a wife if you tell someone their hair looks ugly. ” Poor Collin, your mother is cunt and is particularly sensitive about the hair thing because she has been internationally humiliated over her poor choices in hairstyles. It’s not your fault. If I were there I would give you a cookie. Or a Glock, because no jury in the world would convict you, dear. Collin mutters, “I was just being honest. It was ugly.” Which gets him another lecture and probably a beating after the camera leaves.
Collin was always my favorite. Kate of course says Collin is very smart and always wants to be in charge. Kate says Collin wants to manipulate and control situations and it’s challenging for her. One of Collin’s brothers describes him as angry.
The next “fun spring break activity” is for all the kids to be dragged to all the other kids’ doctor’s appointments. Aaden isn’t allowed to choose his own glasses. He seems used to it.
Kate decides the theme for the sextuplets birthday party should be a carnival. The kids all hate the idea. Mostly because they have already had a carnival theme before. The kids want to go rollerblading. The kids want to GO anywhere.
Dear God that nasty bird is walking around in the kitchen loose.
The producers ask if the little kids look up to Cara and Mady. Mady says, “No, they better not, I’m an awful role model, I just sit in my bed all day.” Kate, the most delusional person in the world asks “Mady why are you so hard on yourself?” Oh I dunno Kate, maybe it is 13 years of you telling her to shut up and making her feel worthless?
Kate hates the sound of Leah’s voice? Imagine how your 8 kids feel with you shrieking at them all the time. This was the longest hour of my life. Kate is a narcissist. The military should force prisoners to watch that episode on loop. I think they would break much faster than waterboarding.
OMG the damn bird lands on the birthday cake next week. I may throw up.
Hahah. Only halfway through and “Mady’s twin (Cara?) has not said three words and seems to be picking at her clothes a lot and praying for a swift and painless death.” Made me laugh out loud. My husband, who I forced to watch this with me, was obsessed with the fact that she has spelled all the kids’ names wrong. really ? That’s what’s standing out to you???
She did spell all the names wrong. Even Collin. What is interesting is that the angriest kid with the misspelled name is Mady.

See..Mady is her clone. They are the same person. Except she looks like Jon. So they have a natural hatred thing going. BUT kate favors her in a way. I still can’t believe she called them worthless beasts or whatever and pointed out which wpchild was the best and shit like that. That boring PC dodgeball game just showed what a horrid small person she is. Her speech about not letting them win had one fatal flaw. They are CHILDREN. But not for long. They will grow up, (and I am not disparaging children because I hate when people do that) they will all lead very difficult lives. What they are being shown as normal interaction is troubling.
She only misspelled Aaden, Collin, Cara and Madelyn. I think that’s half. Leah, Hannah, Alexis and Joel are hard to screw up.
Oh and I also want to rescue your husband. Making him watch this shit is spousal abuse.

The Siamese Twins are at it again.
Well it’s kind of hard to screw up Hannah believe me being my own name. If you remember the first 3 letters all you have to do is then spell backwards. Even most idiots can do that H a n n a h… h a n n a H. Lol
Seriously, I think my “drink everytime kate says ‘me’, ‘I’, ‘my’ or ‘mine’ ” game would get you SMASHED.
Did you hear her go on and in about giving Jon her hand me down van because he would not keep the kids safe if he did not have it??? Um….seriously I HATE women who take advantage of a divorce by saying they need to keep everything because they have custody.
Anyhow, it made me look forward to watching her cunt-out in Apprentice. You know, besides Jon and random nannies, relatives and people servicing her at attractions or in stores, I’ve never seen her have an adult interaction. (I didn’t watch DWTS). She treats everyone like such utter shit. I just can NOT wait to see what happens when she’s around a bunch of sisters who ain’t putting up with her dumb ass.
i want to see a copy of that marriage certificate. what straight guy would watch, or notice that…
Yes. My husband is gay and/or we are not married. You wound me so.
::yawn::
I only read a few sentences. Way too many words. Anyhow, if you think verbally smashing them in front of TV cameras is not abuse, you’re fucked in the head. And it’s not about me or anyone else commenting. Kate Gosselin is a shit person who needs to be something she is not so badly that she shows her ass in front of a camera over and over, taking her babies down with her. Her only talent is having been able to find an unethical doctor to stuff her with too many embryos. Nothing after that is remotely remarkable . And in fact, that is not remarkable in a positive way.
I agree with you completely..I find their show to be a good watch. It’s really great to see her interaction with these children ( they are normal people.) Before I begin, I’m not here to battle, but simply here to state my opinion like the rest of you. It’s so sunny how Kate literally does nothing remotely close to abusing or neglecting these children and yet everyone acts as though she beats them on nationally television. I shake my head! Half of you who here commenting on her life probably couldn’t stomach what you would witness if the cameras were inside of your OWN home’s. It’s easy to judge huh? Well it’s not so easy to be judged. Take a look at your own lives instead of watching and commenting on someone’s life that you apparenty~ wait, no, someone’s life that you CLAIM you care nothing about! Which is it? Do you not care? Do you hate her guts? Can you not stand to see her? Or is it that it’s the complete opposite? You’re fascinated by her. Many of you referenced so much of what happened in her show, yet you hate her and her show? I’m sure she thanks you for the ratings. It’s just sad to get on here and read so much negativity about a woman who is probably a better mother than most of you or a better mother than most of you were raised by and knowing this, you still get on blogs and spew out hate. Get real. Quit hiding behind a computer screen with your nasty, hate~ filled, jealous comments about a person you don’t know. You all claim to be concerned about the kids well being, and then you get in here and agree with some of these fouled mouth fools who even go so far as wishing the children were in foster care where you know they will be split up and sent to homes far worse than where they are now. If that’s not hate and spitefullness, I don’t know what is. If you’re so concerned, quit writing garbage about their mother on the internet for them to later read. You want to help the cause? Then how about keeping your nasty words to yourself? They are NASTY! Again I don’t know you and you don’t know me, so save your time in thinking you can say anything to hurt me. Save your time in thinking your internet thuggin will scare me. Save time in thinking your insults will break me down. They won’t! I don’t do the whole computer ganster thing. I only came here, as a mother, who, in so many ways, is just like Kate ( upper class, Caucasian, and trying to do the best I can for my children, only I am married and I have a husband who helps.) Instead of agreeing with you all, I decided to stand against the crowd and say something positive about that hard working woman who is raising 8 children. Most of you can’t even care for one. Did it ever occur to any of you that you guys are on here agreeing and befriending people who are probably far worse parents than Kate Gosselin? Get real, get a life and if you don’t like her our get show, I have a simple solution…don’t Watch! Love her or hate her you watched and if you want to somehow cleanse your soul or make yourself feel better by saying you didn’t watch, then you sure googled her and read about it. I mean, I read these comments like `these people can’t be serious?` You mean to tell me that they are concerned that teenager is acting like a teenager? And they’re concerned that the kids can’t pour cereal, yet they are out tending to chickens and getting eggs etc…while most of your kids are playing video games or have their heads stuck in tablets. get real people, quit looking for stuff to moan about. How about looking at what’s going wrong in your life right now. As we speak! Comment on that! You know, the stuff you’re ashamed for people to know about you. Talk about that. Let’s see how many of you well get here and talk about what’s wrong with your lives. What’s going on with your children? Let’s talk about that! 🙂
*funny, not sunny.Will, not well. Oh what the heck, I’m sure most of you know how typos work, especially when trying to write from a phone. You get the point,! 🙂
I love how the commenters that attack people for their own point of views, are always the ones saying they don’t want to “battle”. So we just have to sit there and read this long ass comment about how great Kate is, while also being belittled on our own mothering skills .. And better yet the parenting of our mothers? You really have a lot of nerve to come on here and point fingers at people that are critiquing Kate. I hope the fellow commenters don’t tear you apart too badly.
Oops! Nested wrong. This was for Haupt up there:

Brianna there indicates that you calked other people’s parenting into question and that you tried to “belittle” us. Can you clarify those in a more succinct post so that I may rip you a new asshole without reading all those extraneous words? Thanks everso.
Teecee– my comment was in reference to Rebecca’s post–
Yep. Me too. I read yours. Didn’t read hers. I was hoping she would condense and make my job easier.
I’m considering becoming a late in life lesbian. I already have the girth and most of the wardrobe. I’m gonna need some flannel shirts. I love flannel shirts but they don’t make them like they used to…
I will not be Kate’s girlfriend though.

Yes Brianna, that’s exactly what you’re supposed to. Read what I wrote and respond without battle.
Oh so what I wrote was too much and too long? But you all took pleasure in reading the original post that was just as long if not longer as long as it bashed Kate huh? If my long post would have called her a lying cunt whose children should be placed in foster care that would have satisfied your hate and you wouldn’t mind reading it? I said what I said. Again, nobody is telling any of you not to post, I’m simply saying that I’m not going to fight with you. And yes, I said that because I’m going against the grain on this particular post and you know how you guys can get.
Tee Cee if you want to “Rip me a new ass hole” for you all saying that I “belittled” your parenting skills Ha, rip away. Again you guys can dish it but can’t take it. You all get on here belittling her parenting skills, but when I simply ask that those who have a lot to say about this woman, reflect on their own lives and post about that, I’m now belittling? Get out here. Belittling is you making judgement on a woman’s children based on an hour long condensed show. I’m not wrong in saying that most of the people on here can’t parent their own children; you don’t know each other. You don’t know if my statement is false. You’re probably on here agreeing with true child abusers, Any how, It was abroad comment, but hey, if the shoe fits, RIP AWAY! 🙂
So…you are comparing you retarded wall of words with TT’s blog?? You seem to be using a ton of words but not actually saying anything. I asked for a condensed version. Exactly what are you trying to say?
Hey Rebecca, I want to know what phone you use. You have one long ass battery life!
Teecee, my advice is, don’t bother with this this one. She ain’t worth it. She’s just one run on, non-stop sentence. She doesn’t want a conversation and maybe if we ignore her she will go away. Yes, she did imply that not only are we all bad mothers, but our mothers are bad mothers. We are not to judge her, she says and yet we are to embrace her judgment of us. Our kids are garbage and that is what we should be talking about, not Kate’s kids. Now that I know what a bad mother I am as well as coming from a bad mother, I can clearly see that my children are garbage. Thanks Rebecca, you really are the wisest woman on the face of the planet, no wait, I meant in the universe. You can consider me chastised and put the phone down and drive.
Oh Rebecca, you seem to be the only sane person here. I enjoyed reading your post and agree completely. People feel they need to cut others down because they are not happy with some part of their life. I actually was pleasantly surprised with how much I did enjoy the 2 part special for the kids 10th birthday. I am not normally a fan of the show but that is only because I find it a tad boring. All the children acted….well…like normal children and the teenagers were very typical. If someone thinks “abuse” is a mother taking her child’s phone away and reprimanding her for poor behaviour then I would like to see those people’s “perfect” children. Those comments on people screaming it’s abuse are hilarious because kids now a days get away with so much without repercussions. People then wonder why they grow up with such an entitlement style attitude. Now I don’t believe in hitting or yelling at a child but come on, taking away a phone or some other type of possession that a child covets has been going on since the beginning of time. I would also bet that anyone complaining about Kate has not raised 8 children and if you have and you say your better at it, your lying. This would be such an overwhelming task that you would probably feel like you were going crazy daily. It seems like people are angrier with the fact that she makes money off these TV shows. Get over it! The kids benefit the most from that. They have a roof over their heads, they are fed, go to a good school and have College paid for. They also have a pretty stable Mother they live with and they see their Father on a regular basis. (Verdict is still out on how stable he is) and all the kids seem quite close to one another. I myself don’t understand the tearing down but tear away if it makes you feel better about yourselves and if you are a parent and are doing the tearing down, shame on you. Would you want your children reading so much negativity about you?
Yes Rebecca…everyone here agrees Kate’s job is VERY difficult. Personally, I am baffled at her lack of self awareness despite hundreds of hours of taping at her disposal.
Not sure where I read about it, but there is so much more that meets the eye when it comes to Kate’s parenting choices. Perhaps, if you find time between your soliloquies to do a little research about Kate’s journals. Said to be written In her own words, it is clearly the confessional of a deviant & emotionally depraved human being.
She and Tre are masters of trying to control production with content through rose colored glasses.
I’m hoping this lands under SaraSally’s comment because the comparison between Teresa Giudice and Kate Gosselin is really something to ponder. Both very much trying to control their narrative regarding what they think is important while showing their asses in the process,
Tamara, I came here since I saw you posted under Sarah Sally. This was a good recap. I feel so sorry for those children. Its like the movie that Jim Carey was in where nothing in his life was real
Wtf?
I love children. I just have trouble eating a whole one.
While I enjoying reading your recap, is it truly necessary to use the C word?
Of course it’s not necessary. I just like pissing off the world police. VICTORY!
Don’t forget that it is fun, accurate, and oh yeah…..your fucking blog!
It’s as if the word were invented for Kate Gosselin.
So funny!! Thanks for making me laugh so hard reading this re-cap! I hate that C word BUT like you said, it’s like it was made for Kate!
Tamara, love your sense of humor & writing stlye . So glad I didn’t waste time watching this so thanks for torturing yourself for sake of readers..
I’m going to kiss some ass right now and tell you that a few years ago when I was walking into an Old Navy store and her Majesty Kate was exiting, she got pissed off because some older women weren’t moving fast enough for her liking. So she cut over and exited through the door I was entering and slammed right into me. Naturally, I didn’t get an ‘I’m sorry’ or an ‘Excuse me’. She glared at me even though SHE was going the wrong way. I proudly spoke my mind and called her a ‘Nasty cunt’ to her face. Because she is. And because she deserved it. She didn’t even bat an eye. She hopped right into her car which had been parked in the (clearly marked ) “NO PARKING ZONE” and took off.
She’s such a joy to be around. (that’s me OOZING with sarcasm)
Rachelle, are you new here?
Stef, I like your brush with Kate. Sounds like a typical day in the life for her.
There is literally no other word in the world to adequately describe just how Cunt-like Kate is, but cunt. Sorry, plus if the word cunt offends your delicate sensabilities you are on the WRONG blog…furthermore people who get all upset by the use of what is ultimately just a word is just…oh what’s the word y’all?
Retarded. That’s the word you’re looking for 🙂
The word “cunt” doesn’t offend me.. but squeezing a bird too hard? Very cruel.
Yes, Puravida, doesn’t take me long to say what I have to say. Just good battery and quick fingers.:-)
I type 110 words a minute (at least I did about 25 years ago when last tested). You must type at lightning speed!
Valerie, I pity you. You sound really silly! Apparently you read the entire post and it hit a nerve. By the way, I did not say you all were bad mothers and I didn’t say you all were raised by bad mothers. But just like you twist what happens in the show, you twist my words. Again, if the shoe fits…A lie will never change the truth. Bye!
Again, Judge Haupt, you have cut me to the quick. Now I’m a silly liar. You should be on the Supreme Court with all your wisdom. Please please tell me more about myself so I know how to conduct my life, you know me so well. The more you write the more I laugh, so keep it up because you is funny.
I watched this and noticed the hatred all the kids seemed to have for her. They do seem, however, like very sweet and loving kids which is probably a trait inherited from their father, who I’ve always liked. You were very accurate with the C word, as I said it aloud several times while watching that bitch try to make herself look good enough to pick up another show. If a show could be done with the kids and their father, I think I would watch it, but I’ve always thought Kate was a controlling, cold-hearted fake.
TT one of your funniest blogs.
I use to love this show. I am guessing the older girls are over the RT crapp. At their age it is probably embarrassing to be on TV.
It now sounds like the show is too scripted.
Kate needs the money with 8 kids.
I thought her husband stopped the kids from doing the show? He is probably getting some of the money from the show.
Dear Lord, I just edited this post to fix a ton of deleted words, s/v agreement, pronoun problems and starting EVERY SENTENCE with the word “SO” . I don’t feel good today, just brain fog and fatigue AKA LAZY.
I never notice errors like that. I read for content, not structure.
Feel better.
Thanks for taking one for the Team Tamara. There is no way I could sit through an hour of Kate plus anything. She drives me nuts. I think the C word describes her perfectly and should be used liberally when discussing her.
OMG I’m so mad that I missed this!! Your recap was a delight to read TT! I saw the “celebrity” wife swap with Kate and Kendra …. HILARIOUS! One of the best disasters I was privileged enough to watch on tv! Kendra was so honest about how she thought Mady was much smarter than she was lol. I love that little girl!
I watched it last night and got that same stressed out, angry feeling in my gut that I always do whenever I listen to Kate. If she thinks this is bad now, I cannot WAIT until all the girls are teens at the same time.
She causes most of her own problems. She’s so controlling that the young ones are JUST NOW “learning to pour their own cereal”, like SERIOUSLY?? They’re going to be TEN?? My son was pouring his cereal by age four, if not age two, and I only had two kids. It’s called teaching them to grow up and care for themselves.
Then again, pouring cereal is probably a woman’s job, so the boys will never have to do that.
I forgive her for calling them rabid beasts. Kids really are, whether you love them or not. And it’s going to be serious hell in her house when they all hit 14.
When the other three girls are teens and the twins are in their twenties , I expect at least one “Fuck you Mom” out of one of them when she pulls her acts of cruelty. Maybe when they are 18 and Mom can’t be their Warden if they so choose.
I absolutely hate Kate, and think that all the kids need to be taken away and put in foster care! I have known people who have treated their kids less viciously than Kate does, and had CPS all over their ass. (a good example is Willow Smith!)
Um…the Sminketts have CPS all over them? No. No they don’t.
Oh. I guess some busybody contacted them. They did an interview and cleared them. Hardly “all over them “.
And sorry but you’re a moron for suggesting foster care. A complete moron.
I don’t think they need foster care I think matricide is in order here. I just hope it is one of the kids I don’t like that does it. I think Cara or Aaden potential triggermen. I can’t believe they can continue on like this without snapping.

See…that is wrong.
Yes, they did! Willow Smith was taken out of the Smith home over a PHOTOGRAPH! She was finally allowed to come home after CPS, decided she was not in harm’s way!
A complete and utter waste of taxpayer money and a burden in the system because some ridiculous busybody decided to insert themselves into something that was none of their business.
Oh for fuck sake, Willow was not removed from the home. Some whackadoodle probably from the Internet called CPS and reported them. By law they have to do a perfunctory investigation that took all of five minutes. End of story.
So TeeCee, your moral line is drawn at speculating on the psychological effects of being raised by Kate Gosselin? We’re just supposed not to notice?
Like say, with “Blanket” Jackson, no one is allowed to notice that kid is in serious need of an intervention?
That’s ridiculous. Think of the churren for fuck sake.
I dunno. I don’t really think cutting is a direct effect or that anyone has to cut. I think it’s for attention and therefore a personal infirmity. So I think accusing a kid of cutting is wrong. So that’s my moral line. It’s complicated. I’m very complex.
You are very complex. However, your complexities do not have much to do with mental illness. I however have studied psychology all my life and am crazy as a bessey bug. Cutting has nothing to do with attn seeking. It is a way some people gain release from emotional pain by inflicting physical pain. It happens in children who notoriously cover it up as well as adults.
It is not my particular brand of crazy and it doesn’t make much sense to me. But it is in fact a thing that happens when people are in oppressive situations they have no escape from.

Why would you wish foster care on any child? Unless the parent is a tweaked out drug addict and completely abusive, I wouldn’t want any child subjected to the horror usually received in foster care. You might not like Kate but she is not doing anything remotely bad enough to have her kids taken away. At least not from what we have seen on TV.
My comment was in response to Jacque about 5 posts up! Don’t know why it was placed here making “moi” look like the dumbass! Lol
It’s in the rupiahs place. You don’t look like a dumbass. I agree with you.
Omg we I saw that come on I refused to watch the bitch. TLC must be desperate to have such a bitch on TLC Tamara I love to read your blogs and you get an A+ for this one I see she has only 79 followers on twitter they must give her money I still will not watch the cunt on TLC I think she will committ sucide and give Jon the kids. No I don’t give a fuck
Very pregnant post.
@Joanne~ Kate FOLLOWS 79 people. She somehow has over 200k following her. Hopefully, those are followers that TLC bought for her and that there are not that many deluded people following her on their own. 🙂
Thanks for taking one for the team. I refuse to contribute to any ratings that would justify keeping that cunt on the air.
You never cease to amaze me with your aside comments that are so funny and spot on, TT! After this recap, thought the next special would be titled, “Kate Plus 8 Ate the 8!” So many, but my fave is equating this episode as more effective that waterboarding! Thanks for all your recaps/reviews. YTB
I should point out that this is a two episode shit show so there will be one more next Thursday for the Carnival birthday part no one wants and the birthday cake iced with birdshit and bird flu virus.

Omg. I love rereading your posts. I literally laugh and laugh!!!!! Your snark n quickwit is the Cats meow, darling, thee Cat’s meoooow!!!
This was by far the funniest and most accurate recap of of the disaster known as Kate Gosselin as I have read in a while. I almost peed in my pants at the part where you said you would have given Collin a cookie or a glock.
Over the years I noticed when the family went to new places it was all about Kare having a good time.
Not once do I recall Kate stepping back and allowing her children to play without her.
She was front and center in the action.
Yes I like to play but sometimes kids need to be free to play without Mom in the mix. I don’t know why this bothered me but it still does.
Yes, the C— word describes her.
i felt sorry for her on the original show, when jon mostly shirked any responsibility. makes sense that she got overregimented to make up for it. sad that he later claimed he wanted to rescue the kids from her, after he took money to give up his right to stop them from being exploited. dont know if anyone saw kate and the kids “camping” on sarah palin’s alaska show where the kids were having a great time but had to go home early after kate wouldnt stop whining. i’d never see anything with her in it after that. those poor kids.
Chris, I don’t know what show you were watching back then but Jon took on most of the responsibility . He had a full time job and when he got home it was HIS job to play with the kids while Kate dished up some slop on paper plates. He got their bibs on and at the table for dinner. He bathed them and put them to bed. He also dressed got up with them on days off while shithead slept in or laid in bed sending grifting emails to anyone she could think of. She is a deplorable mother and human being.
You need to go back and watch the early shows again. JON is the one who worked a full day, had a 2 hour round trip commute, and came home to feed, bathe, play with, cuddle kids and put them to bed. In the mornings, he got the twins up, washed, fed, dressed, off to school AND served her majesty her coffee in bed before leaving for work. If that’s shirking, I want me a husband who shirks like that!
thanks, guys. i didnt watch much of it. would not watch more, but i stand corrected. what i saw had jon not investing much so i felt a little sorry for kate. certainly got a different perspective on him in that journalist’s book. he seemed like a sweet guy but not that deep on the relationship show.
I can see a show looming in the horizon. “Twins Moving Out”.
They will probably have no money in their accounts by the time the kids hit 16 as Kate can use it to raise them. Nice Eh? Probably gone now.
I wonder now after the ratings tank if TLC will take any more chances with this clan.
Oddly, the ratings were decent for last night. Just under 2.5 million. She beat her lead-in, the premiere of Honey Boo Boo.
Yes those ratings were decent but still about 1 million less than when Kate+8 premiered. I don’t see her getting another show out of this.
Wow different people, different perceptions! I enjoyed seeing the kids again! And the show was ejoyable because Jon was no where in site. And the german shephard in the background in several scenes was the dog you are referring to, in a happy home, not a shelter.
There were two dogs. She banished them back to their breeder. To the tears of her children. She conceded to take one back. But it’s not a family pet. It’s a guard dog and it’s been said that she abuses it.
I think TLC pushed the issue of taking Shoka back for good P.R., the episode where she lifted the garage door for a big surprise for the kids. She didn’t want that dog back. I’ll guarantee just like the chickens the kids take full care of that dog, feed and out to the bathroom. You’ll never see a pic of that dog on the living room couch like my own. He stays outside a lot.
Oh I saw the well placed picture of the dog. Kate hated that dog.

On the episode where they discussed picking out a dog at the kennel Kate said she wasn’t a “dog person” but now on the special she is an Animal Lover by her definition. Add that to the list of lies.

Sincerest apologies TT ! Sometimes my thinking is absentminded, I take more care. Thank you ! 🙂
Refreshing. Yes^ to the above!
This is the best recap, Tamara–hysterical! I could only stomach the 1st half of the show, so thanks for filling me in. I’ve got to disagree on Mady though….I think she’s been a bitch since the show first aired and she’s gonna be a C just like her momma!
What kind of adult calls a little girl bitch?
@RI Red~ I agree with you that Mady has been a piece of work since the beginning of the show. She is kind of like Milania without the attraction to cutlery.
Tamara, that is the funniest blog ever! You are a talented writer. Thanks for the recap.
Not only did you take one for the team, you made us lolol!
Cookie or a Glock? one of your best lines ever!
Hope you have it in you next week as well. No way in hell
would I watch that bitch. I’ve already seen her finest moments.
p.s. I couldn’t agree more about the bird —— do not tell me that clean OCD freak tolerates bird shit in her kitchen!
Kate is a train wreck, making a complete fool of herself. I think Kate is mad that the girls are so bad on camera, they are not entertaining just embarrassing themselves. Mady saying that she is not a good role model and the younger ones have bad hair as she rakes her hand through her own bad hair. Do they ever watch the shows to see how ridiculous they look?
I had the opportunity to watch one of their shows being filmed, probably seven years ago. As we navigated a parking lot at a local amusement park my husband kept complaining that there was a huge van following us and then parking next to us. Guess what it was the Goslings illustrious blue van. Then they all starting popping out in numbered t-shirts. At that time it was just Jon, Kate, the kids and two young producers. OF course my husband had no idea who they were. I embarrassingly explained who they were to him. Jon was all business trying to keep everyone organized and in line.
Anyhoo have a great night……Cant wait to hear about part II.
Thanks for the awesome recap! I didn’t watch it but I was laughing out loud while reading your take on it….
I used to watch the show and towards the end I couldn’t stand her either. She seemed so angry, bitter and arrogant.
The kids are older and she is still micromanaging them like they are two. Poor babies…what was wrong with rollerblading?!
The only humanizing thing on this show was the bird. Cut it some slack. The bird flu is going to come from that chicken coop, not poor caged Zorro.
Did anyone see this bitch on DWTS? Her partner HATED her, and she was an impossibly awful dancer.
Can’t wait for Celebrity Apprentice.
Birds are unacceptable anywhere. They are disgusting carriers of disease.

I got on Kate’s timeline and someone pointed out that when the bird was on her shoulder, it shit on her and it was running down the back of her shirt. She acknowledged it did.
Sssh Ellis, you’re just encouraging Tamara’s hatred of both Kate and birds.
I used to watch this back in the day with Jon still present. Kates a bitch and completely narcissistic. That hasn’t changed and that one twin is a nasty little thing and has been from day one. I remember thinking they better get a handle on that little psycho or she’s only going to get worse. They didn’t and she did. Always sneaking in hits and smacks on her younger siblings that the camera people would catch and she’d give them the side eye like daring them to tell on her. Guarantee that kids headed for jail.
Are you retarded?
I honestly don’t think Kate is that bad. She reminds me of my mom growing up. My mom was not very nice and extremely strict. She wasn’t a bad mom tho. I think she just realized she didn’t really like children until she had them so she expected us to be little adults. She loved us though and took care of us, and while my childhood wasn’t very fun, it wasn’t traumatizing either. I didn’t like my mom much, but as an adult I see that in the grand scheme I got dealt a pretty good hand. She did the best she could. I think Kate tries and is overwhelmed and just isn’t a super likable person. She’s just a bitch. But I don’t think she’s a bad person or a particularly bad mom.
I can’t wait for the “Mommie Dearest” books these kids are going to write.
The only positive thing I can say about this episode is that exercise and extensive plastic surgery does a body good. She looks great from head to toe but she still has not evolved much mentally since the milquetoast whoring ex-husband’s appearance. I doubt she has sustained a positive platonic relationship with a man.
I pray each child gets a full academic or sports scholarship with the option of early-submission. It was very depressing and disturbing to watch Kate’s interaction with her children. Kate is emotionally cruel. I hurt for those children’s emotional well-being but millions of children have f______d up parents. Hopefully, they will rise above their mother’s idiocy and delusions.
Sincerely,
Once a fierce supporter of Kate. And a runner and Retin-A user of 20 years who just got a breast lift.
early-admission not SUBMISSION! Lo!
This woman is an abuser…plain and simple. I wish those children a lot of luck to overcome this horrid woman.
The good news is that they have each other. That is their blessing.
Lawd have mercy..this woman is–in the words of TT and every true southerner–she is crazy as a bessie bug.
TT…one of your all time best blogs ! Cunty Kate is obnoxious and unlikeable but a bad mother ? I don’t think so. She is in charge and raising kids is not a democratic process. Now the bird…..a few years ago, for some unknown reason(maybe that hate me), my kids gave me a parakeet in a cage. There was always bird seed and bird shit EVERYWHERE and I never took it out of the cage.I finally put it out on the deck and I guess the sun was too hot because it kinda cooked. They are disgusting, filthy pets and she walks around with it crapping on her shoulder? That cake preview made me gag.
Has anyone seen the obituary for a mom that went viral last year? The grown kids basically went off on their late mother and told everyone how mean and horrible she was and how miserable she made their lives in the obituary. I somehow see Kate’s kids crafting something similar for both mom and dad one day.
I hate bird shit also. I get sick when seeing wet bird shit on or in my indoor window frames.
I’ve occasionally (2x’s a yr) had a wild bird in my house, OMG, see Patti go crazy throwing shoes at the damn beast.
I’ve a open two story entry with a loft so the damn beast flies into my east windows and shits then flies into my west windows and shits. Refuses to knock itself out.
Once when a damn beast was in my kitchen beating itself crazy against the windows , it shit so much that until all that poop dried up I refused to go in there.
Yes, I open doors and windows and chase the damn beast with broom while throwing books at it.
I understand TT!!
Tamara, you are just too damned talented writer and funny as all get out. Thank you for watching this shit show and then putting out a hilarious and witty observation. Those poor kids…FUBAR!!! Laughed out loud a lot. Rely on you to re-cap crap so I don’t have to watch. Day now brightened, as usual.
I remember when Jon and Kate’s first book came out, my mom passed it along to me (not something I would spend my money on, but I will read anything). They each wrote their own sections and I remember Jon saying that he was happy with the twins and didn’t feel like they could afford/needed other children. Kate told him she was doing it with or without him. He went on to say he loved the sextuplets but felt strong armed into having them. She is a CUNT in the sincerest form of the word. I also remember watching the original documentary on them and thinking “That poor man; if he left I wouldn’t blame him” about Jon and this is when the sextuplets were babies.
Oh God, woman, you almost killed me.
That line about giving Collin a Glock made me laugh so hard I couldn’t catch. Thought I was gonna croak with Kate as my last thought.
Wasn’t she a nurse many hairdos ago?
Bird crap is probably cleaned by Collin.
Those kids need to be helped..Kate need to dissolve in a rain storm. Piece of shoddy word..that woman.
Why have flying creatures roaming free?
Th
Probably from lack of oxygen…
I forgot to say I couldn’t catch my breath.
Darn now I’m wondering if kate throws that contaminated cake away.
Has anyone heard how Kate “punishes” kids now ?
She buys them iPhones and iPads to give then take away from them when she feels they act up.
Granted, most parents of teens do use restriction from technology as punishment. But, in Kate’s interview a couple of months ago, she proudly said she purchased things to deliberately take away.
To me, that’s cruel & manipulative. She even admitted she buys them to manipulate the kids. She’s a cruel, sick & twisted person.
SMH…

SantaBarb, I slightly disagree. I often knew when my sons were given something major I’ld use it if I needed it. For me it was better that other options.
However, I would not used it as Kate did. I didn’t think what was said was that bad. It was a opinion said in a smart ass tone.
I’ve used tech to punish my teen also, most parents do– it’s effective !
The difference is that Kate boasts that she deliberately purchased iPhones and iPad in order to punish them. She didnt buy them for any other reason. Most parents get kids phones in order to communicate with them and them with us. Added bonus is that they enjoy it. Laptops were the thing when my daughter started junior high school, she needed it for HW, most assignments were posted on “Schoolwires” and papers had to be emailed in (schools have a tool that scans papers for plagerism).
Point is, they were never purchased with the primary purpose to deny the kids with, that’s just cruel.
I guess you’d need to read the article and watch the video. You can google it.
You’re kind of dumb. Kate screeches things to impress people. They are not all entirely true. There is plenty to be disgusted at without making up shit.
I know I know–all other parents can say that she purchased it for that purpose but Kate cannot say that because some people deemed her bad.Parents say that all the time–the new technology have become the new tool to for punishment before parents had to wait til teens were old enough to drive a car and so they could take the keys away.
thiscrackedmeup hell your recapps are always better than the shows illjust follow your feed
I can’t imagine being a single parent with 8 kids and not receiving a dime in child support from an ex-husband. No judgement from me. Sometimes I struggle with one. Do what you have to do Kate.
I agree. Read my comment above.
omg i just found this site and love all the kate bashing!! yea, people that hate her as much as i do!!!! i will be checking in daily!
Shari, my exact thoughts as well! I’ve been addicted to GWOP for many years but I’m glad to find this site as an addition.
Oh my gosh. Can anyone tell me when I’ve ever been so bored? Oh, right, thanks…NEVER! Those poor children. By the way, I love every kind of animal, but what happened to Kate, the previously obsessed germ freak, to allow her to strut around the KITCHEN of all place with a bird brain–literally and figuratively?
Seriously, this was absolutely the most mundane tedious program ever! Will everyone please NOT remind me when part two is on?
Holy crap. I’ve been away from the computer for a little while now because the weather has been somewhat nice and come back to this. lol
Well, I have to disagree with some of what you said. I don’t particularly enjoy Kate but I definitely do not hate her or see her as a child abuser. As someone who works with mentally ill people who abuse their children and people without mental illness that abuse their children, Kate is not even close.
She is polarizing, that is for sure.
I agree that she has these “great” ideas for what the kids should do and the kids respond with a negatory, but she keeps pushing. A lot anal, sure, a lot competitive, sure, but crazy, cunt, and bitch, I’d have to respectfully disagree.
So…you saw last week’s show?
I agree with most of what you said. But they aren’t going to hear you. They hate for no reason.
I did.
This is hilarious & describes exactly how I felt trying to watch this train wreck (water boarding would have been less painful).
Kate w/ her fake hair, fake teeth & fake mother of the year behavior. ( to Collin: “we have to filter our comments” – too bad she did not filter her grating, nit picking of Jon). Those kids may turn out well in spite of her & her cra cra but I see 8 Mommie Dearest tell alls about 15 yrs from now.
I watched the show years ago when Jon was with the family. I really don’t care for this woman’s attitude. I can’t believe TLC would take her back….UGH!!!
how jealous all these blogging recaps stupid people are. And bitter. its because ya all don’t make enough money and she does. Jealous Jealous Jealous. And yes, she looks good and skinny, as opposed to you, fat asses
She looks good? Dear god, her face is so ugly and twisted. As soon as she opens her mouth, she is hated. She got free liposuction apps part of her sacrificing her children’s private childhoods, yep.
But guess what? She still had no man. And she never ever will. It probably won’t belong till she declares lesbian. NTTAWWT. For women who actally are.
Please! I beg of you! Do not wish that shrew on all of us innocent lesbians! What did we ever do to you to deserve that?
Well hey there, JulieB. You’re looking fine today. By the way, does your company provide domestic partner insurance? /innocent grin

I know. Here’s how I predict that will play out (in case there’s anyone taking bets on the odds):
1) LeAnn and Eddie announce she’s pregnant, just prior to air date of their “reality” show;
2) Just after the eighth and last episode, LeAnn announces that she had a tragic miscarriage, leading to an outpouring of sympathy by her twittering twitterers;
3) An insider lets it slip that the pregnancy and subsequent “miscarriage” were a ruse cooked up by them for ratings;
4) Eddie leaves LeAnn before Christmas when he finally realizes that he’d rather be poor than stay with her and her level of crazy.
What do I win? 🙂
Nada. #4 will never happen.
Why isn’t Eddie getting work anymore? Because he’d rather live off Leann.

M, as a cancer survivor that just finished chemo and radiation I lost so much weight that I didn’t even realize I was a fat ass. Thanks for straightening me out. You’re a real keeper.
Yeah, I used the cancer card. But hey, I have cancer so I’m allowed right? The cancer card is the only positive thing about this disease, so excuse me if I exploit it. However… Tamara I would never try to murder you.;)
The murder attempt came well before the cancer. So, when the cancer came I was not particularly bereft…

But maybe #4 will happen if a richer woman comes along. I’d be worried if I were her.
I was a NO Mom for a few years as Kate is. As many Moms, I learned it was just as easy or easier to say yes. I’m not referring to purchases.
I simply stopped saying NO automatically and then used No only if it was a request that wasn’t realistic.
We all lived happier, the boys were able to develop their own personality’s and life was all around better. It opened new experiences for all of us.
Kate has never learned this and probably won’t. She knows it all and it’s all about her.
Why did she dress up in a costume for the party? It wasn’t her party, ridiculous.
Everything is such an over whelming chore for her. All about her.
I’m not a fan.
I don’t recall which season I watched. But immediately I saw how she treated Jon and knew they wouldn’t make it. She is a control freak and a not so nice person. I hated her personality on DWTS. Loved your recap TT!
I thought they all did a great job, must be difficult raising 8 kids..she does a great job of keeping it all pulled together without living in a pig pin…Jon is a lazy baby boy…he was just one less child to take care of….keep up the good work kate….forget the haters….
Welcome to the world–our children do turn out like us just as we turned out like our parents –surely no one is taking all the credit for how great they think they are by believing they got like that on their own or miserable they are whatever the case may be.
Kate is doing a very difficult job but its good to see the kids are thriving and how she gives them freedom to be who they are. Lot of parents do not do that then the child gets grown and has no clue what to do or how to care for theirself.
Tamara Tattles is about the meanest thing I have read and to think we have computers just so the ignorance can be spread and land on another sad person in this life.
Are you insane pete2211? Kate gives her kids the freedom to be who they are? What planet do you live on, she menaces those kids and uses them for her own personal gain. She is truly evil.
The twins especially Mady have the worst attitudes..Madys mouth makes me cringe she is so disrespectful and feels like she is entilited to anything she wants..T.V has really ruined these kids cuz now they expect that life is all about them…How many kids do u know that get to go on vacation like they do hell IM a grown woman and those kids have been to way more places then me…This is not a reality show no family wit that many kids gets to go on vacation the way they do especially when Kate doesn’t even work…They are living it up cuz they are on t.V and because a Dr. decided to implant her with multiple eggs she’s making tons of money exploitin her family…smh…do not watch!!!
Kate is so mean to little collin. She belittles him for everything(eg)the card and birthday present he got her.She also shows no affection to him where as she hugged and thanked the rest of the kids for their gifts.He looks so sad and desperately craves her approval .She witholds it deliberately therefore is a nasty mother and bully who should be investigated further.She will get her comeuppance some day when one of those kids snap and reveal all.Kate you are a horrible cruel person!
This is so sad to read that she would treat one child different from the others. You would think someone would say something. Children are like sponges, absorb everything. I think that is why Maddy is so angry. Thanks Tamera. Makes me appreciate my Mom and Grandmother all that much more
