Several people have seen the group around Boston this week, but now someone visiting Plimoth Plantation has said they were there with cameras too. Ugh.

I didn't see the picture, but many times venues hand out wristbands to show what section you are in. For instance, if they had nosebleed tickets, then you wear a wristband (or bracelet) in a specific color and you are not allowed down on the floor seats with that color band.
------------------------------------
I also thought the so-called bracelets had something to do with the concert venue, but didn't know why they were used. Your explanation makes perfect sense - different colored wristbands for different areas of seating.
I did see the picture and saw the bands on Skeve and the twins. I looked for one on K and didn't see it, but it could have been hidden.
Rhymes your new edition is scrumptious! Congrats! She looks just like my neighbors dog (also a black lab mix) who runs and jumps so high that I am convinced that she is part kangaroo!
The seperation anxiety will ease with time, but it helps it you give her something with your scent on it when you leave her. A tshirt that you have slept in works well or if your feeling ambitious sleep with a nice durable soft toy and then give that to her.
Rainbirdie #192 - spot on and very well said. Kate thinks SHE is special, but knows she cannot get any face time without those kids. And your right, she makes every show about her.
The G children's identity is not wrapped up in the fact that they are multiples. Kreider's identity certainly is.

I'm just getting caught up after being without internet access for a couple of days. Forgive me if this has already been said. For those asking where Jon is in all this -- did Jon even know that the kids were being dragged to Boston and filmed again? Remember -- TFMJG didn't even tell him about CWS. He found out about it the same way the rest of us did. Kind of hard to fight against something you don't even know exists.
Back to reading posts!
Still catching up and again, if this has been brought up, please forgive.
Re Robin Williams and his wife having separate bedrooms and how this may have contributed to his suicide -- If he was really determined to end his life and had a plan, it wouldn't have mattered if they shared a bedroom or not. He would have gone to another room to do it or, worse, done it in their bedroom while she was asleep. As far as the diagnosis of Parkinsons is concerned it's just another pile-on for someone who is already depressed. A person who isn't dealing with depression could hear the news and be upset and depressed for a brief period of time, then moved on to learning more about the condition and ways of dealing with it. For someone who is already deeply depressed and struggling, it's the last straw. He, or she, isn't thinking rationally. It could just as easily have been a diagnosis of high blood pressure and the need to take medication to control it. It was just one more thing to seem like there's no "up" any more.
Maybe kate hid her bracelet so everyone would see Steve's and the twin's bracelets as a jagged jab to Jon. Like, haha See, Jon! They are close. Even though they were section/seat bands. There is nothing she won't do to hurt Jon. Nothing.

First, welcome back! Good to "see" you again ;-)
I think the consensus here on the separate bedrooms was "meh", no biggie.
I feel badly for any person who is the one to find the deceased, tho.
Hopefully, his assistant will be OK, because that'll leave a scar.

I was at a stadium concert recently, and the wristband "station" is located immediately after your tickets are scanned. You show your ticket, they give you the wristband, and you're good to go. We had floor seats, and when we got to the bottom of the stadium, they checked them. They are really strict about it. There were some young kids there who had a different section and were trying to get down on the floor, they said to "visit" with people who had seats down there. The "guards" absolutely refused to let them into that section because they had a different color wristband. It was very closely monitored.
In her mind the above are OK but don't you dare say a word against TFW. This seems to be the mindset of most of the fanatic sheeple.

Am I the only one confused by the ALS ice bucket challenge? It's supposed to be give money or dump ice over your head. So many people seem to be doing the ice bucket. Does that mean that people like Jimmy Fallon didn't donate since he did the ice? Or did he donate too? So if everyone is doing the ice bucket does that mean ALS gets no money? I don't get it.
_________________________
Hi Jeanne - The challenge started out as a way to raise awareness about ALS. It has morphed into a viral sensation, which has resulted in more than $10 million being donated to the ALS Association in less than 3 weeks. Some who do the challenge may not donate money, but a huge number who do the challenge donate as well.

I saw this Robin Williams tribute video posted on FB. Warning: It is short but very touching, and it may make you tear up, like it made me do so.
The voice over is Robin's speech(as the character, Jack) from the movie "Jack".
http://damn.com/p/one-of-the-best-robin-williams-tributes-ive-seen-short-and-poignant-but-utterly-devastating-rip/
I have been so busy that I haven't commented in a while.
So here it goes:
Robin Williams : So sad. I loved him and always watched his movies.
Kate and filming: Whether it's TLC or filming her own pilot goes to show she's never, ever going to stop trying to get herself back in front of the cameras. No wonder she continues to buy followers, she plans to be around for along time.
Kate+Steve : Glad that the media is finally hinting they are a couple. I came to that conclusion 5 years ago.
Beth: Glad that Beth spoke up!
Midnight Madness....177 : I agree with you. I think that fans, non-fans and haters do not tune in for the kids. The people who watch are doing it to see Kate. Don't know what the reason is but definitely some fascination going on. Baffled !
Rhymes With Witch: Ooooh, so happy you saved your new furry baby! One ( I have 2 ) of my rescues was going to be killed within hours but was picked up by rescue group. I adopted him ( he's name is Tux, I call him Tuxie) and he is the most beautiful and loving little guy. I named my other little guy after my favorite city Austin. Love them both!
Rhymes, that fur baby is adorable! My Boxer would LOVE him. Congratulations on your new addition.

I think he'd be better that TFW, Milo or Rat Claws (who couldn't run, as he wasn't born in the U.S.). But I'd vote for the pizza magnate before I'd vote for the guy wearing a dead weasel on his head lol. Plus, he'd waste taxpayer dollars on gold-plating everything and then putting up in huge letters "TRUMP WHITEHOUSE" on the front of the White House. LOL.
When Let's Throw Tomatoes mentioned Austin, it reminded me of K's gan Austin Martin in St. Louis. I looked at his timeline, and he seems to have moved on to ...... Leanne and Eddie. They were in St. Louis at some kind of meet and greet and he was met and greeted and snapped (pics).
The last time he tweeted K was June 26 (the special) and he hasn't tweeted to Kirstie Alley since May 16. I'm sure they're both devastated.

Yup, those are concert bands. It doesn't serve anyone any good to start up rumors that the family and their Uncle Stevie are wearing matchy matchy bracelets. My kids save all of their concert wristbands and have quite a collection. We have to be very careful that we don't mess them up when cutting them off!
I was reading the BV Files thing, and good grief, that really is a mess. Everyone is suing everyone; nobody really knows who anyone is, the attorneys are part of the whole thing, and I can't figure anything out (not that it matters). One of the only things that they are sure of is that Milo is Kate and it has been 100 percent confirmed. I thought awhile back it was confirmed that Milo is Heidi something and her husband is Carl. It's really funny, in a way, because everyone is somebody else! I've never seen such a case of multiple personalities.
How did that class action lawsuit work out for them? The one that Bully was filing on behalf of the defamed/libeled/harassed sheeple that would net them enough money to cruise the town in limos and never have to worry about another thing for the rest of their lives? We don't hear too much about that anymore...do we?

But he can't and he wouldn't. I'm not trying to be political, but please - Donald Trump as President? How low have our standards gotten when he would be even considered, except in a joking fashion? He's a egomaniac, he's tacky as all get out, he has no real grasp of what an average American deals with, he's so vain that he spends an inordinate amount of time fiddling with his hair to cover his bald head, he's all to ready to tear up the environment to build a golf course, the list goes on and on. I just don't get why he would be considered a prospect for such a critically important job. I just don't get it.
This country is not a business. The idea that we should run it as a business is not feasible in reality. And even if we did, Trump business have declared bankruptcy at least 4 times, so I don't think having him at the helm is really a good idea business-wise either.
Anyway - that's my 2 cents on the subject of that blowhard.

That was just lovely.
I was going to mention the movie Jack. I actually wouldn't put that movie anywhere close to his best movies but there wasn't a Robin Williams movie that didn't have at least one special moment in it, even if the rest of the movie stunk. So too was Jack just okay, but did have the special moment with the wonderful "Life is short, but you can make it spectacular" speech.
I get that filming the children is bad and all but when it is compared to all the other things disturbing their young lives it seems so very minor. If you take away all of the filming the kids still have a seriously messed up mom and a dad who waited to long to do anything about it. Why does everyone say it was being on television that hurt them so much when from TFW's own diary their life was a nightmAre wAy before the cameras came around.

It's a list of the characters...near the end of the post:
@MiloandJack (A Kate Gosselin sock. 100% confirmed.)
Tweet -- don't most of them sound like complete nutcases? They are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to figure out who is who. You couldn't make a Lifetime movie out of it if you tried.
I must admit, though, there is someone on there who does know legalese fairly well, but I have no idea who the mods are. Does anyone?
Looks like MsUggs has temporarily suspended her helicopter parenting mission, and got into some kind of a hassle with someone in a donut shop. She tweeted it to John Quiñones, of ABC, most likely her newest buddy. I wonder if her son wants to work for ABC and she's putting down the groundwork! :)
Brenda Schuettler @sweetbren66
@JohnQABC so sad. There was a conformation but hopefully he will think next time he steps out of line. He said none of my business #YesItIs
I think she meant "confrontation." LOL!
In all honestly I really don't think Trump is much worse than most politicians that high up. Let's face it, you'd be nuts to want to be in positions like that. Most of these people have just as much ego and weirdness about them as he does. Everybody joked about the Arnold being governor but he didn't do half bad for most of his terms.

I do think the parental alienation and living with a mentally ill parent stands to harm them much more than filming. Especially since most of the kids probably can't even remember most of the filming. I do think though that the show and fame were Kate's vehicle for estranging Jon so well and I think it only encouraged her bad behaviors. Without TLC's backing during the divorce who knows what would have happened.

And then there was Ronald Reagan, the actor. He was initially laughed at, but he did just as well as the "groomed" politicians out there. If I'm not mistaken, in C-Span and ABC polls, he was ranked fifth or sixth, and was right up there in various other polls (Gallup).
Donald Trump will never run for President because he will never divulge his true wealth or lack thereof.

No, they are not all the same. They may all have skeletons in their closets, to one degree or another. But they are not all the same. It's unfortunate but I believe it's been a deliberate process to get people to think that way, to have apathy, to say "Oh well, it really doesn't matter, they're all the same." It's frustrating because most of the ones who make it that far have had to make concessions, sell out in one way or another, in order to climb the political ladder. But it doesn't have to be that way, and we shouldn't accept it that way either.
If you really think Donald Trump could lead our country, could deal with Congress, could deal with the Chiefs of Staff, could appoint people in very important positions to do the running of the country, by all means vote for him if he actually gets the nomination. I have seen no evidence to support that theory, and I'm not willing to risk the future of our country. I lived through the Arnold Schwartzennegger governorship of California. He was a complete waste of time. Do you know that when he was in Sacramento (none too frequently), he would stay in a hotel right across the street from the Capital building. And every day, when he was done sitting at his desk smoking his cigar, he'd climb in the big Governor's limo, and with a full complement of motorcycle cops, zoom out of the underground parking lot and across the street to the hotel? So concerned with looking important. Nothing got accomplished under his watch. Bad enough for a state to endure a vain poser in offer but not our country.
Whether I like a politician or not, I do examine their political history - do they even have one is the first question I ask. Then I try to find out how they've voted on issues that matter to me in the past. (This is very important, which is why someone who has no political past automatically will not get my vote.) I look to see where their donations come from - is Monsanto giving them a lot of money? What other corporations donate and how much? Who do they have connections to? I try to make a reasoned decision based on the information available to me. A four-time bankrupt businessman whose biggest claim to fame is Celebrity Apprentice is not someone I could take seriously as a presidential candidate.
Rainbow, now I see where you're confused. I typed Neal in my comment #51 when I should have typed Tom--it's Tom. Sorry about that.
=========
Are Neal and Tom suing anyone?
Are the DOES the haters?
Jesse Ventura was a wrestler and a joke. He turned out to be one of the best governors the state of Minnesota has ever had. I can't write anyone off because they appear kind of cooky on the outside or were a celeb or a oddball celeb. He pushed forward gay rights way ahead of its time and reformed public transportation among many other things.
I also can't write off anyone because they have had big business failures. Without great risk there will never be great reward. Lots of very successful people have a string of great failures behind them. The Clintons have been very vocal about how their finances have been in shambles at certain times but many people regard him as a fairly good president. I really don't care that they've had difficulty financially as long as they do a good job with their job.
But in terms of ego and a desire to be in the public eye all that, they ARE the same to me. They all, or most, have the same motivations. Nobody, or VERY few people, strive to be president and aren't completely nuts. It's just some of these nutters I consider more effective than others. Some of that is in their control some really isn't.
Then I try to find out how they've voted on issues that matter to me in the past.
&&&
Yes but then they all flip flop. All of them. Every single one.
Sorry if I'm disillusioned but I can't trust anybody based on how they voted on something. They'll just turn around and change their vote later. Happens....every....time. Even Obama. I say go for it Trump.
I just posted a comment that included my opinion of Schwartzenegger as governor.
What I remember is that he had pretty good popularity when he took office, but by the time he left, he had sunk extremely low in public opinion. "Schwarzenegger now is seen negatively by 75 percent of state voters and has the approval of just 20 percent of Californian voters, with 5 percent having no opinion, according to the survey by Field Research. His ratings are worst in his hometown of Los Angeles, where 90 percent of respondents gave him a thumbs down, the poll showed." That's from a SF Gate column published in June 2011.
I think a variety of political missteps contributed to his problems. Seems like in the earlier part of his governorship, he angered teachers, nurses, firefighters and other powerful voting blocks. He thought he could make an end-run around the legislative process by putting initiatives directly on the ballot and appealing to the voters. In the November 8, 2005 special election, California voters rejected all four ballot initiatives that Schwarzenegger had proposed to reform the state government.
In his second term, he did try to bring about some changes, including efforts to fight global warming, increasing the minimum wage, and helping pass a bill to reduce greenhouse gases. I think ultimately, he was too middle of the road and so many Republicans lost interest in him, and he had already lost Democrats.
Rainbow - thanks for pointing me in the right direction. However, that's a comment left on an article, one line with no information backing up that claim (that Milo is Kate). They did a pretty thorough expose on CJWhoDunIt, who turns out to be a married woman with three kids, and apparently someone familiar to her local police dept. She seems to be in the grip of mental illness.
The Arnold's tenure had a lot of things that upset people. He also had a lot of things that people were very happy with. CA was in the crapper by the time he was out of office but most of that was not his fault, the whole country was.
Overall, he was an extremely competent governor and when you compare him to who's currently in office, who was in there before him, and a bunch of other jokers, he sails way beyond them. He was not perfect, nobody said he was. However, he was by no means a silly celebrity dud.
My point was, he was written off as a celebrity and a joke just like the Donald, and got into office and proved he could do the job. You may not agree with all his policies, but he DID do the job competently. Of one of the many policies I agreed with, I personally liked his stance on incarcerated criminals. He stood very firm that those people are dangerous and under no circumstances should they be released. He never wavered in this. I firmly believe the reason crime is down so drastically is because we have insisted on locking criminals up and not letting them out. Arnold is to thank, at least in part, for sticking to that. Americans are fickle and as per the usual after seven years they wanted somebody else. Look how that turned out.

I've talked to congressmen, seen how some of the politicians work, seen the perks, been driven around in a limo free of charge in DC. Now I'm done. I'm glad you put so much thought into how you vote. Prior voting records can be very meaningless however. BTW, it's the lobbyists who wield a lot of the power, and we can't vote for them! I will not say any more.

I think it is clear that the defective detective has more than a few screws loose. She is also not correct about her insistence that it was illegal for anyone to c/p that letter she sent to the Judge, asking that the man ''be kept in jail for more than five months''. That was her so-called impact statement, and not only are they a matter of public paper, but in Fort Worth/Tarrant County, they are published in the newspaper.
I enjoy reading the mess over there...if you think all of them are full of it, it can be very entertaining. (Someone is blackmailing your daughter, and you're having hissy fits on twitter and a stupid blog. Why aren't you calling the freaking police?????)
But what do the facts matter to any of them? Facts obscure 'outing' the wrong person. Facts stop real discussion. Facts only get in the way of effective threats and comments that insist on remaining stuck on stupid instead of just sitting down and shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP!
''That was her so-called impact statement, and not only are they a matter of public paper, but in Fort Worth/Tarrant County, they are published in the newspaper.''
^^^^
The impact statements are a matter of public RECORD...not paper! They are a matter of public record and in Fort Worth are published in the paper. I should have checked my comment better before I hit publish!
Yes Tweet I'm in the "I'm over it" camp. I've been working on a legislative committee for about a year now and it sure is eye opening. Basically we come up with legislation that our organization would support and draft one-pagers, try to get interest in Sacramento, and then if we do get interest follow through with everything after that including testimony. Each bill takes about a year. It does not matter if you have the best legislation in the world. It is all about finding a sponsor who only sponsors it for selfish reasons. If your awesome and amazing legislation will not help a politician get to the next step, go tell it to a fencepost! Blah, whatever. It's been really helpful to learn how this all works and be a part of it, and I've enjoyed hanging up in the town of Sacramento I think it's really underrated, but it hasn't boosted my confidence in government.

BV Files says, "The San Jose TRO Judge specifically REFUSED to make any of the findings about who does or does not run this blog, as well as the rest of that 25 pages of crap (i.e. Additional Proposed Orders) that Leiderman tried to present to the judge, the Hon. Socrates Manoukian, to sign. ... The judge made absolutely NO FINDINGS about who runs this blog, whether or not its defamation, or who was behind the “death threats” ............
And one of the bullyboys tweeted this on Aug 15: (This particular tweeter also posted a copy of the signed, dated Permanent Restraining Order issued on July 29):
4. On July 29. 2014, a permanent restraining order issued prohibiting Mr. Retzlaff from engaging in a multitude conduct, including the making of any threats. (See exhibit twenty-two) During that hearing the Honorable Socrates Peter Manoukian specifically found that it was Thomas Retzlaff behind the death and voluminous other threats to Mr. McGibney in emails and on the BV Files blog. He also determined that Mr. Retzlaff was the main administrator for the BV Files blog. Hereto forward the "restraining order" case.
I've yet to see any actual transcripts of the hearing and fine posted anywhere, however. Without seeing signed and dated documentation it's all BS because if they're nothing else on the BV Files blog, they're ALL huge BSers going around and around like a broken record.

I agree with the person who said that the Gosselin eight have been hurt more by their parents than anything filming has done to them. Jon by his poor choices, and Kate because she is such an ugly person. I wonder what would have become of them if they hadn't been "discovered" by TLC...would they have ended up on welfare? Can you just imagine how much Kate would have resented them all if she had never made money from them, and was just an obscure housewife in PA?

I think sometimes I put filming ahead of the breakdown of the Gosselin family when it comes to the damage being done, but I'd posit that this is the perfect shit storm- the filming continued during and after the fracture of that family, and even worse, if that can be imagined, it was used for profit.
Well, whenever Kate decides to grace her twitter fans with her presents, I'm sure she is going to do the BIG rush for school supplies. you all know, make a BIG drama of it. Oh, how hard it is to get school supplies, etc. Their hair cut, lunches made, uniforms etc. SSDY. Her fans will go oooh, awww! we want a first school day pic of the kids.
As for this filming, SSDY, it will be nothing exciting, nothing new, same formula TLC always uses, this special will be nothing new another boring show. Except the kids are older, not as cute, and will fight at the drop of a hat, and then we have to listen to the kids, trying to talk, and Kate rambling on, talking nonsense, trying to justify why she is/needs to be on TV and what a great mom she is. Total waste of TV.
Millicent - I don't like to get involved in political discussions, but I agree with you on the Trump issue. I believe that many politicians are egotistical and power hungry, but at least some do start out with the commendable and optimistic view that they can change things for the better. Over time, they get caught up in the reality and ugliness of our political system, and their desire to keep their position, so they end up getting in bed with large corporations and lobbyists and wealthy supporters.
There is not an ounce of my being that believes Donald Trump would ever run for president for any reasons other than self-gratification, a drive for power, and to make bank. He is a narcissist's narcissist.
He has shown exactly what kind of a "leader" he would be with his petty and ridiculous feuds with countless people. (One of his many lowpoints was during his feud with Arianna Huffington when he famously tweeted "@ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision.")
He behaves like a thin-skinned ignoramus, often running to TMZ and Twitter to further his fights. His unrelenting drumbeat on the "birther" issue has made him a laughingstock, even among conservatives.
Trump reminds me a lot of Kate's fans - profusely praising an entity one minute when he agrees with them, and then freaking out about that same entity if they should ever say anything critical about him.
He may be a good businessman. He may have built a financial empire. But it takes far more than good business sense to be president. It takes tact and empathy and respect and knowledge and a readiness to compromise, and an appreciation for the gravity of the job. Trump possesses none of those qualities. He is a buffoon with bad hair.
I really can't fathom why another special is warranted. Maybe they plan a holiday update and will use some of this footage? Who knows? It may well go the way of Twist of Kate.

Nicely put- Trump is a joke, politically and beyond. His petty, childish feuds are testament to his flawed character.
Can you imagine this man dealing diplomatically with world leaders?
@AngelaMurkel- you're uglier than @RosieODonnell and your mutter wears combat boots.
Most of all, he is the last person that I would ever consider a true patriot.
I hang my head in shame to think that this is the best the Republican, or any party, can do.
America deserves better, and I can only take some solace that the Greatest Generation will be all but gone if and when this buffoon ever stains the Oval Office.
Sorry, back to our regular programming ;-)

Well, considering what TLC has been programming lately, a Kate Gosselin special could also go on the way of Gypsy Sisters. For the life of me I can't figure out why on earth anybody would enjoy watching that hot mess. I can't believe that the audience numbers are that great, but if by any chance they are half decent, I think I can see why TLC would also be interested in anything 'Kate": they are going for the hot mess factor.

SSDY= same sh*t, different year. You know how 'traditions' are a big thing with Kate...
Thanks for the feedback on my pup. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have to say that I'm the lucky one here.
I get that filming the children is bad and all but when it is compared to all the other things disturbing their young lives it seems so very minor. If you take away all of the filming the kids still have a seriously messed up mom and a dad who waited to long to do anything about it.
====
I think the filming made the G8's lives worse. Kate is past seriously messed up. She's dangerous. It blows my mind how an abuser like her could weasel her way into becoming a celebrity on the backs of the very children she almost killed when they were still toddlers. I think if TLC had not come along someone in the family or a concerned friend might have taken steps to have them removed from the home or forced her to get some kind of therapy, but since she was a 'star' her behavior was given the stamp of approval. Unbelievable.
I wonder if TLC wants to prepare a special to time with any release of Celebrity Apprentice. So whenever, if ever, it airs, and the media is talking about Kate, they have a special in the bank ready to air.
As far as the "what's worse for the kids" argument. I think living with a woman with mental instability and no other consistent adult in the house has horrible, long lasting effects. And then compound that by the fact that adults who do try to help are banished from their lives. And film crews come in and film crazy, with no effort to stop it. The kids consistently get the message that no one will help them, or can't help them, and that they'd better align with mom.
Auntie Ann, I am not so sure the family would have stepped in. Even without her money, Kate is a forceful, disturbed person. But, yes, her money has insulated her up to a point and she gets away with plenty. Her day of reckoning is but five years down the down when the first two turn 18.

Great summary. What's even more unbelievable is that this debacle is not only allowed to continue but is funded.
This is why I can't give up.
I promise this will be my last comment re Donald Trump and running for President. If I had even the slightest concern that he'd actually get the Republican nomination, I'd be seriously concerned. But he won't even get close. There will be a whole bunch of people initially vying for the nomination, the field will empty out, and it will probably come down to Rand Paul or some other established politician.

Not just her money, but her fame ("don't you know who I am?"). Not to mention the publicity the show brought (in the early days) to PA tourist attractions, etc.
My comment is not aimed at the good people of PA but to those industries and politicians with an agenda.
God bless Sen. Murt.
OT pup alert - feel free to scroll.
On day one she claimed a corner of the couch. She also has a bed that she uses. The thing that I find funny is that she sleeps on her back with her legs straight up.
I wonder if these means Katie's heyday at People is over.

This is true. If they were intimidated by her just think how the kids felt. Jon was either very in love with her or just as afraid of her as everyone else.
I just think someone would have eventually reported her had the cameras not moved into the home. Her beatings were escalating going by her notes in her journal.
IIRC even a man who was working at the house quit because of her temper. I'd have to find it in RH's book. He wouldn't even talk to Kate. He phoned Jon and told him he was through. What a frightening place that house must have been. And still is.
Interesting that Milo mentions she's "female" in her profile. That's kind of odd to be sure to mention that. Unless maybe you aren't?

I don't recall that one, but it doesn't surprise me.

Donald Trump for President. Kate Gosselin for Vice President .
Kate would be the enforcer, if The Donald gets angry at someone Kate can go and beat the crap out of them!
Hmmmm that wouldn't work she only beats up on children and dogs!
Donald stick to CA. Oops maybe you should think of something else!
ITA, perhaps TLC got some inside info that CA will indeed air.
I assume she is still Twitter silent? Won't last much longer because school will start and she'll whine about missing summer and having to get up early to cook those big egg breakfasts, LOL.
So someone has to be at the house taking care of the animals and making sure it is pristine when Kate returns? Wonder where she hires these people?
TLC looks like it is staying in business with Kate Gosselin.
TLC Is Back in the Kate Gosselin Business
Three years after canceling Kate Plus 8, it turns out the series' June revival as a one-off special was not a one-off. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the cable network has ordered additional hours from the reality star and her brood. Though it's not immediately clear how many hours the network plans to air, they will be released over multiple specials set for a December premiere.
June's revival of TLC's biggest-ever franchise earned a strong 2.1 million viewers when it premiered, though that number is obviously dwarfed by the nearly 10-million strong high the original franchise (Jon and Kate Plus 8) hit when the central couple decided to divorce in 2009.
This next spin on the series will follow a Gosselin family vacation, with Kate and the children traveling to Boston and other parts of New England. Now 39 years old, Gosselin remains something of a TV and tabloid fixture. Prior to March's announcement that the family would get another TLC special, Kate and daughters Mady and Cady generated headlines with an awkward interview on NBC's Today.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tlc-orders-more-kate-gosselin-726076?mobile_redirect=false
Funny also that Gladys says she's a "happily married female," rather
than a "happily married mom." You think she'd be quick to point out
this similarity between herself and her heroine.
I'm bored, so I've come up with some key phrases to look out for
when TFW finally surfaces with some before-school complaining:
Why can't summer last 4ever?!...no more sleeping in:(
Lazy days R over:(...how many days til Xmas vacay?;)
I'll miss having my 8 at home all day...house is 2quiet:(
School suppliesX8...might as well move into@StaplesLOL!!!
I guess her ratings were good enough for TLC. Crap!
Well, Gosselin kids, back to work.
Don't schedule any weekends or holidays for "you" time ;-(
TLC can waste all their money ordering those extra hours.
Who the hell (after reading Robert's book) will be willing to sit down, and watch that crap?
Tough luck with that one, TLC.
I have to say I'm shocked that TLC would revive K+8, even as a limited series.
I can't wrap my mind around committing all 8 kids to filming.
I've seen the contracts and know what Kate is committing every single one of them too.
Those kids are slaves, sorry, but they are.
There is very little of their lives that hasn't been invaded by Kate's greed and mental illness.
Again, I'm frustrated that Jon can't or won't put his foot down.
This is a major commitment for 10 and 13- year olds who need to focus on school, and dealing with their parents' acrimony, lack of co-parenting and general deterioration of parent-child relationships.
Wow, just wow.
I, too, don't know how any sane person would embrace cranking up the filming again.
I'd love to see comments from the highly visible people who were involved in the passing of the "Gosselin Law", such as Paul Peterson, Allison Arngrim and Gloria Alred.
Think about it- the people in total control now are Kate and Steve.
There's no stopping them and their greed.
I guess her ratings were good enough for TLC. Crap! 113
S - F - D.
(use your imagination).
When TFW took that vote about filming again, do you think
C raised her hand? What a load of BS - they do it because
their mother forces them to. Sigh.
I wonder if she was calculating enough to have them film
back-to-school shopping, so all the uniforms and supplies
could be on TLC's dime.
Who the hell (after reading Robert's book) will be willing to sit down, and watch that crap? 115
I very much fear that you are overestimating a good sized chunk of the public. TLC apparently has viewers for the other crap they air.
Well, Kate's good news via phone call was from TLC. I wondered if she garnered good enough ratings for a cable tv show (she did).
She will film those kids until her dying breath.
I hope the kids can stand it until they turn 18. She will.never.stop.exploiting.her.kids. EVER.
jcb
I know what I am about to post will make some posters here feel defensive so I am sorry in advance. So here goes....
If you watched one or both of the birthday specials that TLC aired in June than you contributed to the ratings that have now caused TLC to add more specials.
If you truly want to stop Kate from exploiting the kids and stop her from dragging them on tv again, then please please stop watching her shows.
Please note I said "if" above. And I don't really know how the ratings are done but I can not help but think that if everyone here and all the people on twitter who want her off the air really committed to NOT watching, then maybe just maybe the ratings would be too low for TLC to ever consider any more specials.
Again, I am sorry if my post if controversial, but I am so upset that TLC has agreed to more specials.
And for the record, I did NOT watch the TLC birthday specials. I did watch clips on YouTube that were posted weeks after the airing before they were removed.
December...will we be treated to another faux-Christmas? I am astonished this happened, especially with the rumors generated from the RH book and the TV interviews. What on earth will they film other than this vacation? They've done, back-to-school at least twice, Halloween...Thanksgiving maybe? Will it focus more on Kate than the kids? What does Jon think? Was there other 'secret' filming done? I am really disappointed for the kids. They are all at awkward ages where they deserve some privacy..Won't Kate be revealed as a lazy unemployed weasel for anyone still in doubt?? And the money keeps rolling in...sad.
I hate to say it, but if TLC is happy with her ratings, this may a long term deal. For whatever reason, this no-talent, lying shrew manages to continue raking in the bucks exploiting her children. Welcome, kids, to the world of The Truman Show courtesy of your fame hungry mother and TLC.
NOW we know why Steve is still slinking around her.

It was July, 2007. They were still at the old house.
From RH's book:

TFW will resurface now that the hollywood reporter has broken the news that TLC is planning another special. TLC may have bought more hours but I don't think that they're going to sink a fortune into her travels by sending her to exotic venues. As was said, travel in the BBB is a far cry from even an RV trip across America. I wonder if PB was with them becasue he's still under contract with TLC. This too shall pass. People tuned in to the update special initially to see how the kids had grown and then her numbers dropped off. We've speculated that she may continue to get some specials but will never get another show because she won't be able to maintain the ratings. Poor kids. They'll never have a life of their own until they move out.

hmm yes, now that you mention it. If they're going to give their marital status and gender people usually say happily married woman or happily married man. Not happily married female.
It's another unsolved Milo mystery. She (or he) is probably loving all the attention s-he gets from us.
Well, I'll be. TFW will never, ever, ever go away. Kids get used to it "This is your life". And it will be until you turn 18 and can sign your own contracts.
My concern is the public will turn on the kids while not understanding that they are forced to be filmed because their parents (probably only Kate) can sign away their childhood. For the public not knowing (like we do here on this blog) what is really going on, I fear they will start taking it out of the kids. "See how many vacations, concerts, freebees they get without having to do anything. Gee these kids must feel that they are entitled to everything, and they don't even have to work. See their bad behavior gets rewarded with their own show. Just another bunch of rich, selfish kids."
IMO this is going to get bad...for the children. As for Kate, she's in 7th heaven because the cameras are rolling and she's got Steeeeve.
Interesting that Milo mentions she's "female" in her profile. That's kind of odd to be sure to mention that. Unless maybe you aren't?
)))))))))))))))))))))))
I always thought that was very odd. Who says that? Happily married female? If you're going to identity yourself. wouldn't you say wife, mother, woman?
The TLC specials...looks like Kate was lying through those teeth when she got the phone call and said it wasn't television or work related. She did, however, add, "FAMSTUFF," so I guess she can justify that lie because it was a family vacation.
These are specials, not weekly episodes, but I suppose she will take whatever she can get.
Those poor kids. There is no end in sight for them. Jon, where are you?
Hmmmm that wouldn't work she only beats up on children and dogs!
))))))))))))))))
I think Jon might disagree with that assessment.
I think all the lawsuit talk is pure BS. What ever happened to the law knocking on CJ's door for stalking a minor. Guess case dismissed there. The detective, flo and bdying are nuts. All they do is talk about some people they are continuing to stalk. For people that claim to have families, children, (no jobs though. collecting public assistance) they sure spend a lot of time on their computers.
Sad to hear about TLC bring Kate back, even for a limited view. All the negative talk just keeps her relevant - to some people.
Milo is my cat...Jack is my dog. I'm a happily married female supporting Kate Gosselin. I love humor and being positive about life!
)))))))))))))))))
Where's the rescue dog, the one that she tweeted about with so much excitement that Kate seemed scared that Milo was going to show up at her Kate's house? I'm surprised Gladys didn't change her user name to Milo, Jack, and Katie Irene
I would not let my panties get in a bunch about a new special. TLC did this with Table for 12, the Bates, the Roloffs and a few others. Remember they have new people in control there, who are calling the shots, I also think TLC is running out of ideas, for reality shows. Think about it, most of the reality shows are more or less of the same. You watch maybe 3 and you have seen all of them. They are crap.
Perhaps this is what was in K8's going out contract. A few specials. As I posted earlier, it's the SSDY, it's TLC formula.
1. kids talk on couch
2. Kate talks on couch
3. kids fight
4 Kate screams yells, makes faces at kids
5 K8 go on trip
6 Kate has meltdown
7 kids have meltdown
8 Kate does not know history if her life depend on it
9. Kate called working people her cutsy names: Miss witch house, Mr tree Mr or Miss butter maker etc. These people have names.
10. oh poor Kate had to drive there, saving money from flying there. 11 Kate in her bathingsuit
12 closing a place so they could film
You guys get the picture. Same crap, nothing has changed.
To this filming add first day of new school year(cause twins in 8th grade), add twins birthday, add Halloween, add Thanksgiving and early Xmas.
One word: BORING!
Kate's been challenged at least twice for ALS and hasn't done anything about it. Could at least tweet, I'm busy, but sending in a nice check aka another lie.
Which one of the six sheep is @lovinglife01O2O? They talk about him/her on the BV Files page. I get all of them confused!
Luke's mom - I agree with you 100% in philosophy. But it is my understanding that ratings are determined from those families that are surveyed, and then estimated. Is there truly a way to count the tv's that are tuned to a particular channel? In this day of high tech Big Brother, I would not be shocked, I've just never heard of it. I will do my own research, and if I find out that my viewing does contribute to a count, I would stop ( including some other guilty pleasure tv!) But i do think the Youtube or Netflix option is more of a concern, because Youtube CLEARLY counts and displays the number of times any video is viewed.
@lovinglife01O2O
She doesn't tweet Kate very much. She's gaga over the bullyboyz especially Capt Obvious. Her avatar is a picture of a t-shirt that says, "How would you like a little Captain in ya?" She's a grandma, lives in Canada. She's not the 2BCollies person. She's a "potato."
If you truly want to stop Kate from exploiting the kids and stop her from dragging them on tv again, then please please stop watching her show. 122
Honestly, for the most part you are preaching to.the choir here. The TLC audience who watch their other crap will be he audience. Katie gets money, TLC gets a show, children get screwed. SSDY.
I suppose Kate is hoping for a media tour, for the special and CA, that is if CA airs. Yeah Kate, like the last special. No one interest. There is nothing to watch, most people go on one vacation and that is it. Most people say very little about their vacations, just that they had fun, what they ate, what they saw, that is it. All of maybe 5 mins., and maybe will show you pics on their phone or facebook. No drama, no cameras filming, that is it. Boring!
I don't care to watch an adult meltdown, kids melt down, family getting entitled passes to places, staying in lux hotels, and listening to Kate telling us how she saved money by driving to these places, what a great mom she is, an why she has a BG with, and why they shut down places to film. And how tired she is. Waste of TV!

__________
Sure does and I forgot to mention along with her avatar, the header on her Twitter is pictures of t-shirts that say "I Love 9riest" who is another of the bullyboyz. I looked at his tweets one day and he was tweeting nothing but pic of men's genitals.
As far as I understand it ratings are still based on a sampling not on what all of us are really watching. They take what percentage of that sampling is watching and that's how they get their 3.0 million or whatever the "rating" is. A teacher of mine was part of a Nielson family for awhile and was so proud to "support" her favorite shows lol.
However I'm not sure this article is all that credible. They don't cite any sources, and anyone could have made it up based on the recent story about someone seeing them filming. Notice how they didn't mention any other locations they have planned or claim to have actually asked somebody at TLC what is going on. I'm skeptical. I'll believe it when I see it.
I do however buy the fact that TLC doesn't care what sludge they film they just want a nice lineup of sludge. They have a core audience that wants their sludge and watches all their freak shows, and I guess a piddly 1 or 2 or on a good day 3 million is all they are aiming for. Not exactly setting the bar high but apparently it's enough to keep them in business. Too bad for the Gosselin kids. It's all fun and games on summer vacation but the second they want to film and Cara has a lacrosse game to go to instead, there's going to be hell to pay.
Please note I said "if" above. And I don't really know how the ratings are done but I can not help but think that if everyone here and all the people on twitter who want her off the air really committed to NOT watching, then maybe just maybe the ratings would be too low for TLC to ever consider any more specials.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))
I don't think it would make a dent in the ratings if we didn't watch. She had over a million viewers for the second part of the special. We here, and those on Twitter, are but a drop in the bucket. If TLC contracted with her for specials when they gave her the pink slip for the show, they I would think that they would have to honor that. We just don't know how that contract was written, but it was announced back then that they'd be back for specials...and they are.
It is something to get panties in a bunch about because there's no stopping the exploitation.
&&&&
I think I've realized the only people who will stop this now is the kids themselves when and if they decide they no longer want to film. They may very well do that, and it may very well happen soon. It may not be all of them, it may only be one, or a few. But it will happen.
Not watching is a good idea too but like so many others have pointed out TLC has a well established core audience who flips on the channel. I'm betting most of those couple million haven't even barely heard anyone has a problem with this exploitation. Over the years this show has lost millions because people woke up, but it will NOT lose their last few million, I don't think. I think it's a low information voter situation. They're turning it on to see the Duggars and some little people with cute kids and they'll watch this gaggle of kids too just because. I don't think there is a thing to be done about those folks. Some of them may not even hardly use the internet to even have the foggiest idea there's a controversy.

That's only like a couple hundred people.
As I just said, I think we're way underestimating the "TLC regulars" out there who have no clue of any of this. They just watch. There are millions of people who watch TV in general who NEVER take the time to look further than the show itself. There are millions of people who are not anything like the people here who dug deeper. Some people have absolutely no desire to do so, and that's their right. The vast majority of programs I watch I just watch and I do not seek out more information about anything or talk about it on a blog or forum or anywhere.

Exactly. You'd say woman, wife, mother. Not "female."
Unless you're a male and overcompensating??? Who even knows with her.
Seems like they may be modeling the update specials off the Little People Big World specials. They did those two or three times a year, which was plenty. Not sure if they're still doing them. Another thing that's going to be dicey is the kids are all reaching an age where they are easily embarrassed. One of these update specials airs during the school year and they could be mortified and refuse to ever film again. It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out and if they go along with it. I'm betting they don't.

At best, Jon is ineffectual, at worst, has become resigned to the inevitable.
Kate and Steve are at the controls.
The only variable now is the children themselves.
They face almost insurmountable odds, as I see it. Think about what they risk; losing contact with siblings, banishment from the compound and its inhabitants (some to their peril), losing their school, and on and on.
Kate has her anachronistically French tipped fingers on the all the right pressure points.

If they feel comfortable at Jon's some of them may very well go for it and be done with it, simple as that. They can live with him.
This really is a tipping point right not and it's going to be interesting. They really are on the cusp of knowing their own minds. We're talking they're going to be thinking independently in about 3 seconds. And the question is despite all the alienation and quite frankly brainwashing about filming, will any of them wake up and realize they want out.

A bit but even then I've just talked about it here and maybe with a few friends.
I'm enjoying this show I think even more than the first time through. I'm still a few episodes behind on the binge but otherwise have kept up fairly well.
TLC announced on Monday there would be more episodes of the show, "Kate Plus Eight," which will air in December on the cable network.

I don't see anything on their website, but then again, weren't they really slow announcing the birthday special?
I can see doing a little filming to catch up every couple few years to show on a news magazine show or the like.
IIRC, the McCaugheys filmed for their 16th birthday, but not all the kids did interviews. It was short and sweet and done.
The update also focused on each kids as an individual and what their interests were.
There's Jamie, and Deanna, and...

Yes, yes, yes.
Besides, who wants to see "my summer vacation" and "back-to-school-shopping" in December? Birthdays can be taped and broadcast later, because people have birthdays all year round, but seasonal stuff is best kept in its own season.
They may very well do that, and it may very well happen soon. It may not be all of them, it may only be one, or a few. But it will happen.
****************
But if she signed the contract with TLC, what options to the kids have in all of it? They are not of age to sign anything anytime soon.

There's also not of an age where they can be forced to do anything. It's a contract, not the police.
If they want to walk off the set and refuse to do anything, there won't be a darn thing TLC can do about it. I mean they can take them to court but the fallout will be on Kate, not TLC. The kids wouldn't care.
I don't see anything on their website, but then again, weren't they really slow announcing the birthday special?

Yes it could very well be, I'd just like to hear it from them first.
Other sites, like People.com are picking up the same story. They say "TLC announced" but I think it likely they're just copying each other.

^&&&&
They're all just copying each other. TLC never said anything!
The red flag I see is that there is really no new information offered other than what that couple saw. It sounds like a story anybody could make up. I can see a journalist hedging their bets and taking a wild guess about what is going on here. I.e. TLC specials, They could be flat out wrong. Let's not jump to conclusions. If there is a special TLC will announce it. But nothing has been said.
Most people say very little about their vacations, just that they had fun, what they ate, what they saw, that is it.
****************
But "most people" aren't the Gosselin Gang. Admin is right -- TLC has a core audience, if specials are making some money for them, then they are going to air them, along with the other crap they show. They don't give a rat's butt if it's about some other person's vacation. People are going to watch, those who hate Kate and those to love her, and those who are indifferent and are totally clueless about the whole story because they think it's just a sweet family and never took the time to find out that there is a controversy.
But Milo is tweeting a link to the access hollywood story. Since she communicated with K in so many, many ways, it must be true!
(sarcasm off)
I wonder why TLC waited two years before they got back on the exploitation train?
If they are happy with 1-2 million once things even out, why cancel the show in the first place? That second special did no better than but a few of their WORST ratings. It was as dismal as almost any episode from the last season.
Something smells terribly unverified about this and I'm just saying that because I'm hoping it doesn't happen or wishful thinking.
The HR story is very glaringly without a source. That is extremely odd. I think they pulled it out of their behind. Let's not panic. I believe they are filming and it's not good they are filming, but it may very well not be for TLC at all.
Correction i'm NOT just saying that...

Please we are all adults here. The children are not the only ones who can keep them off TV. If Kate was only bringing in a couple of thousand viewers ( probably that's how many fans she has) TLC would drop her like a hot potatoe.
Secondly, sponsors play a huge part. If they wre bombarded with letters with disgruntled viewers they would pull out so fast your head would spin. TLC doesn't care about the Gosselins it's all about money for them.
And finally the fact that Robert's book was not promoted or talked about in the main stream entertainment media ( but I guess we can assume now why not) Kate came out of it very slightly burned. Many people think she's a bitch but not how bad she really is.
And that Nielsen Ratings is so 1970/80's . I read an article years ago that they use satellites for TV ratings. The actual article was about that they wanted to also get ratings of viewers that watch programs on the internet. So if you're watching Kate, TLC is taking notice!
And while all of this is going back and forth Kate is pushing her wheelbarrow full of money to the bank while many Americans are having a hard time just paying their monthly bills!
Talking about bills my electrical bill came out to $1200 dollars. WTH!! Yes, it's for two months but I still have to pay it all at once! Shit !
I kind of get the synopsis of what is going on over there at BV Files...not all of the players, of course, but the basics. However, someone here mentioned the Defective Person. Who is suing her, and why and has that complaint been filed...or is that just more BS that is unconfirmed and just being tossed around?
Nope, it's a myth that they are "watching" what we watch. Robert Siedman is a TV writer and he said we don't even have the technology yet to be able to track what everyone is watching. Even if we could it would be an information overload nightmare. We still take a small sampling and deduce ratings from that. If you're not part of the sampling nobody cares what you watch.
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/07/08/dear-tv-fans-there-is-no-tv-ratings-measurement-system-that-will-make-everyone-happy/140725/
Nielson ratings and "samplings" are still the primary way ratings are determined. It's not something from the 80's, it is alive and well in 2014 and is primarily how they determine "ratings" of each show. Supposedly networks actually don't care to follow your DVR habits even if they COULD track our DVRs because they care you are watching commercials and few people with DVR watch commercials. If all your viewers are on DVR, that is not helpful and they don't need that information. That said if you feel that watching, even if nobody knows you are, is harmful then don't watch. Or watch. Yes we are adults, and that is an adult decision to make.
I knew this was coming. It's now a "season" as opposed to some specials.

Kate Gosselin And Kids To Film New Season Of Kate Plus Eight Reality Show

Yes could be. A lot of their regular shows have run their course. Sounds lazy to me. Instead of developing new ideas or finding new characters they might as well recycle some old ones.
Actually maybe this is cheaper and more dependable than scouting for some other family to exploit. I'm sure it probably is all about money and a quick buck. It is easier, faster and cheaper to plan some quickie to Boston than to find some other family.

I consider it BS much like the BS that Kate filed a copyright lawsuit last November and we'd see the filing after the Thanksgiving Day weekend.
I think that blog name should be changed to BS Files. How could anyone believe anything posted there, anything at all?
And BTW, they're all using different names each time they comment much like RWA did. That includes the bullyboyz. So does that mean they now have hundred of socks too?

See? One media outlet makes what appears to be an ASSUMPTION that this is a TLC sanctioned update special, doesn't cite a single source from TLC confirming that, and in one afternoon it's already morphed into a "season."
I'm not buying this one.
Tweet-le, I partly disagree with you about the ViaViewFiles blog. While there's a lot of nonsense, sick vulgarities, misleading comments there's also a lot of truth posted there. Lawsuits are being filed and adjudicated. The Defective Person has been named in a suit. The system works so slowly but hopefully the truth will soon begin to appear. Best to overlook the idiocy posted from both sides, if you can, and filter out the truth.
I honestly think that if this filming was of such importance to TLC they wouldn't be waiting until December to air them. If Kate was such a hot commodity to them they would get this on air ASAP. So I for one am not thinking this is going to be a continuous deal.
Linda said... 188

Dan Quayle, is that you? :)

==========
Unhappy non-fans can write to their hearts' content, and I doubt it's going to make one iota of a difference. They are not going to pull out. Admin is right...TLC has its group of viewers on which they are depending. A few hundred letters from disgruntled haters, those who don't like Kate or object to the filming of kids on reality television, aren't going to make one bit of a difference to huge companies. They couldn't care less, in the whole scheme of things, if a few hundred non-fans threaten not to buy their products. We're just a tiny blip on their radar.
If one or more of the kids decided to leave behind the house of horrors for their dad's, could they really stay? Within custody agreement, etc. plus imagine the beating they would take literal and figerally from their sibs at school and what if, like every pre teen and teen, they changed their mind? Would TFW let them back and what kind of punishment would they have to pay? Even worse if it's in the middle of filming. I'm having visions of a underground Gosselin railroad. Some poor kids trying to fit all their fave things into a bag as they prepare for an 'overnight' visit that they want to be forever but then whoops, you still have to go to school with the non traitors, and dad's house isn't as much fun after a week or two, you miss the dog, your bed, iPad.....
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I can't find independent verification of a TLC press release. I went to press.discovery.com, and then TLC network, several press releases nothing about K8. Did the usual google, etc., nothing.
"msn entertainment' is reporting "TLC orders more 'Kate Plus 8'" and includes "Figure 8 Films produces "Kate Plus 8" for TLC".
Figure 8 Films??? Is that her own company?

Agree.
TLC has people who just turn on the TV to a channel where they know everything is rated TVG or TVPG, there are cute babies to be had or some rather harmless little people, and who like ogling other people's families.
Back when I thought viewership would make a difference was back when I thought 1.5 million viewers wasn't enough for TLC. Apparently it's enough. And I don't think there is any getting rid of that group. It's not made up of fans or haters. It's made up of people who turn on their TV sets.
The vacation special will either air or it won't. The story sounds a bit like a plant to generate interest, sort of throw it against the wall and see if it sticks. If TFW is such a hot commodity wouldn't it stand to reason that TLC would run it during sweeps? Like I said, it will either air or it won't and people will either watch or they won't.

Bingo.
And if TLC is responsible for this they will announce their intentions soon enough. I really hate crap like this. The whole throw out what sticks, or even flat out take an educated guess and make a story out of it. It's not journalism. Stop playing to whatever "source" is trying to see what sticks or gauge public reaction. I think what's happened is everybody is so eager to get in their first with the big news, they are taking far more risks with the truth than ever before. I really do think this one was made up, an educated guess and cross your fingers you're right. It's so dumb and slip shod.
And I agree if it were a series and they thought there was real money to be made here, they would get on the ball, not screw around until December.
So, Teflon Kate gets her wish again. Free vacay, filming her brood of kids and gets the big pay check to boot. Apparently, telling TLC how we feel means nothing and someone there must really LOVE that woman. Would you say she is being promoted? I would certainly say she is getting her way which is to remain in show biz. No, it is not on any large network, but she is still on tv and being rewarded for being a not very nice human being. Hard to swallow this over and over again.
So from what I read, the special that was already on TLC is the one that they mentioned in that release of their 2014-2015 schedule. I don't see where they mention having any other specials or weekly shows. Am I wrong? Did I miss something? It said the 2q of 2014. Already happened. This whole thing smells of Kate and her gang planting stories.
I'm guessing this will mean she will be lining up guest shots on various shows to promote the specials and possibly CA as well. Any mention of Robert's book will be off limits of course. I know it's too much to hope for but I would like to see her interviewed by someone who has done some research (60 Minutes type) with no advance restrictions and watch her squirm.

sigh... Uncle. I give.
I doubt if a special here and there will sustain her lifestyle but frankly don't give a damn anymore.
Will they still be filming when the kids start telling her to F-off? Time will tell I guess.

CS - The press release that you linked was for the specials that were just on, not for something new
LaLa - While I agree that TFW is getting what she wants in that her mug is back on TV, she's not getting the expensive vacations that she feels she's entitled to nor do I think she's getting a huge paycheck. Of course it's probably bigger than many people make in a year but she'll never again command the money that she used to make. Let's face it, she's desperate to be back on TV so TLC is in the driver's seat this time around. Free vacation? Sure but the same mediocre vacation that the unwashed masses take. She'll continue to make a fool of herself and of her kids. She doesn't care that people call Mady names on the Internet. As long as TFW gets her mug out there she'll be happy and there's apparently nothing that anyone can do about it.

Well said. Many people made this point last time ratings were discussed.
Your point that the ratings are essentially for the commercials, not the content, was also valid. If you don't watch their commercials, sponsors don't care about you. And sponsors pay for programming.

Red flag they are making these stories up.
Figure 8 was initially involved as this was "their" independent series they sold to Discovery Health and then TLC, but it's my understanding that at some point in time production was handed over to TLC. TLC probably bought out the contract when they hit it big and Figure 8 was toast. They may have continued to employe some Figure 8 production members who may have put it on their resume, but this has been a TLC production run by Elaine and TLC for a very long time. Whatever.
The National Inquirer has always cited a "source" for any of their articles, correct ones and incorrect.
I don't care whether folks want to believe what they have suggested in the past but this story is odd in that there is no source. It's just a blanket statement with no source or other info anywhere else that would be consistent with it.
I have no idea if it's true or not nor do I care as we DO know they are filming and I really could care less WHO they are filming with. I'm just saying the format--no source, story morphing into a "series" within hours, not a peep from TLC, is highly suspicious and smells of a plant. If Kate and Steve financed this themselves, it would be just like Kate to put that out feelers to see if there is interest in TLC buying their pilot.
The TLC press release was interesting. Some random thoughts about it:
Reading it, I know why I haven't watched TLC for years, except for an occasional "Say yes to the Dress" binge, and won't be soon.
It reinforced the point that Admin made about "TLC watchers" who just watch anything on TLC. Cultivating these people is TLC's goal.
The press release was dated April 8, so it's natural that it mentioned the K+8 specials already aired.
It does mention "Figure 8 Films".
If there are new specials or a new series or season planned, I think they were decided on quite recently. Well after April 8.
