And The Cake Boss ignores her!! Thank goodness we don't have to take a drink everytime a celebrity ignores her!

She did NOT like it when the Cake Boss criticized the enchilida/taco pie they made.

Mel said...

She is supposed to be greeting customers but is instead having her head down texting on her phone ignoring customers.

Sue said...

Kate has someone coming to buy a pie that's why she's on her phone. She claims they have some good money hmm.

Sue said...

Kate did nor sell a pie and she's crying boo hoo. Her so called friend did not show up to buy a pie. What friend???

JoyinVirginia said...

Raise your hands if you are NOT surprised TFMJG did not raise any money.

Susan1956 said...

Awwwww, her friend (he) couldn't get his money to her in time. What, Ratclaws wouldn't donate his salary?

Why not call Terri Irwin?

Mel said...

She stands around in the back flapping her gums at no one while all the other women are working their asses off.

The other women completely ignore her.

Omg, she broke out the tears already!

Call Me Crazy said...

Let the crying and eye dabbing begin!

Sue said...

Raising my hand.Kate's imaginary friend did not show up LOL!

redbirdsings said...

I absolutely do not believe that she had someone coming to buy a pie and bring a truck load of money. No way, José!

She knew she had to come up with something and texting and pretending that someone was coming was her excuse to text to TFM her stress, so he could de-stress HER. She is in the back crying, saying they are not going to get there in time.

Oh, the drama queen strikes again!

Board Room!

Kateplusmy8 said...

@ama_ro_jo: Aww widdle Katie's having a pity party in the pie place. #CelebrityApprentice #Apprentice #boohoo
@VickiGFans: I really hope Kate goes soon. My dislike for her goes back many years for many things she's done. #CelebApprentice #CelebrityApprentice

PJ's momma said...

I am really enjoying this! Thank you all!

JoyinVirginia said...

I love Gilbert!

Susan1956 said...

Even the Donald ignores her. She tried to interject when he was questioning some of the women and he just talked over her and kept going.

Sue said...

wait until the Donald finds out Kate did not raise any money.

JoyinVirginia said...

Ivanka always asks insightful questions. Love her!

Mel said...

Boardroom..other women looking impassive. Kate making faces, nodding vigorously, agreeing with anything. She's really trying to get in the lime light.

As much as she objects to that when others do it.

NJGal51 said...

I think TFW's only money connection is the hair guy. That's why I think she was the PM on the wedding dress challenge. He was there to do the hair/makeover.

For being such an amazing cook her knife skills leave a bit to be desired.

JoyinVirginia said...

So boardroom is focusing on questions to Geraldo 're who raised last amount of money. Lorenzo raised only $100, Terrell raised only $900.
Product component will give $25,000 to taste test winners!

Susan1956 said...

BAHAWA!!!!!!!!! Did you see her face when Piers gave the Cake Boss's opinion of her savory pie?? But like she said before they started cooking--she cooks and her kids don't necessarily have to like it.

Bad attitude to have in this show.

JoyinVirginia said...

Cake Boss did not like women's savory pie, TFMJG looks panicked. Jamie worked on sweet pie most and that is responsible for winning the bonus.

JoyinVirginia said...

Whenever the camera us on TFMJG in boardroom she looks bored.

Sue said...

Wow the men raised so much money.

Sue said...

Kate's pie sucked go figure.

Anonymous said...

(Leslie)
Kate is afraid she is going to be fired because the pie she was part of SUCKED and she brought NO MONEY.

Call Me Crazy said...

Exactly, Mel. She nods at what everyone says.

JoyinVirginia said...

Women raised $98000, men raised $280000!
Potter's criticised keisha focusing on social media, since mens team had theJonas brother who has 4.5 MILLION Twitter followers.

Sue said...

Kate should be the one fired.

Yoculyocul said...

@GraceRealEstat1: #CelebrityApprentice #CelebApprentice #drinkinggame alert. Drink every time Kate says she has 8 kids and how much she does for them.

Sheeple Herder said...

She reminds me of a bobble head doll. I really dislike her.

Anonymous said...

(Leslie)
I would think that TLC, Discovery, Figure 8, her manager Julie, Steve's company would/could make a nice donation. Maybe they will in future tasks.

NJGal51 said...

I love the tweets from people that don't have a dog in the fight.

@tarynleigh_s: Holy bitch face @Kateplusmy8 #CelebApprentice could you look any more miserable?

Call Me Crazy said...

She just said she has been in court a lot.

Whte Organza said...

Whaaaaat....? Cake Boss did NOT like Kate's savory pie?! No giving 10's, no shrieks of delight, no dancing, no singing her praise? Well I'll be darned!

Alberta Girl said...

Oooh. All the women are rolling their eyes at Kate! Ahahahahaha!

Susan1956 said...

She's learned a new word!!

Crap!!

JoyinVirginia said...

Team Vortex is celebrating in suite. Kate has to tell Mr Trump she raised nothing. Piers advising TFMJG to quickly throw someone under the bus. Oooh, keisha is calling TFMJG a liar in the boardroom. Brandi just called TFMJG lazy!

Sue said...

The Donald asked Kate if she should be fired. And of course Kate say's no. So Donald asked who should be fired and she's throwing Kesha under the bus. Brandi say's Kate was lazy LMAO. I hope they fire Kate first she deserves it. Jamie is taking up for Kate of course her only buddy.

Call Me Crazy said...

Brandi and Piers just said she was lazy. Piers does not suffer fools. And she is crying again.

Sherry Baby said...

I would think that TLC, Discovery, Figure 8, her manager Julie, Steve's company would/could make a nice donation. Maybe they will in future tasks.

_______________
What about Milo? And Coyne? Deanna and Jamie? Kate brought in NOTHING. Not one cent!

Oh, and Milo...those "looks" with Kate's eyes. Those are all for you. She's sending out secret messages confirming how important you are in her life.

Anonymous said...

(Leslie)
Oh, Boo Hoo, ALWAYS a victim. I don't think I have EVER seen any woman cry int he boardroom. Kate has cried TWICE already. "Feel sorry for me" is her claim in life.

Localyocul said...

@DustinRossSaid: This is how Kate Gosselin used to look before the TLC checks started rolling in... #CelebrityApprentice http://t.co/xdnGsTD385

foxy said...

Kate has the tears rolling again...talking over Keisha, talking over Trump. Brandi called her lazy and said she was supposed to go outside and call people in and she did not. Kate is saying it is her life to be organized and let people know what is expected so they can excel. Alrighty then.

Mel said...

She's crying, looking at the men donald and piers, trying to get them to feel sorry for her. All doe eyed. What an embarrassment to womankind.

How come none of her 120,000 fake twitter followers donated *anything*???

redbirdsings said...

I am laughing SO HARD! Piers has her number big time! The face she made when Brandi said that she was lazy! hahaha Piers threw her under the bus by telling her she needs to start bus throwing!

She was squirming so bad in that chair, she is scared shitakeless!

May said...

Tears in the boardroom, boohoohoo...just called her lazy lol.

I don't know who is doing her make up but it's awful, two shades too dark.

Sherry Baby said...

Emily Creighton ‏@EmCr68 1m1 minute ago
@SherriEShepherd @BrandiGlanville @Kateplusmy8 @CelebApprentice not okay! Kate is anything BUT lazy! I'd like to see Brandi raise 8 kids!😬

Good lord, Emily, you are so naive. This has nothing to do with raising eight kids. This is about team work. Geez.

Kateplusmy8 said...

@SFCelebWatch: @Kateplusmy8 bombed on this cuz it wasn't about getting sperm donations. What else does she know? #CelebApprentice #CelebrityApprentice

Sue said...

I heard Kesha was the first one to go. and Kate I think will be the 4 thoe 5th person to go.

swimgirl said...

Best tweet so far...

@jamalpaisley. Duh Of course Kate didn't raise any money. She ain't no damn celebrity. #CelebrityApprentice
10:36pm - 4 Jan 15

JoyinVirginia said...

Overall criticism of Keisha not giving focused tasks as project manager. Viveca is defending Keisha. Keisha did not call Cosby, she hasn't talked to him in years.
Some man just said that if you were married to Kate, you would be sleeping with your eyes open, because of her evil glares. Another man said that's why we're not (married to TFMJG)

Sue said...

why are they busting on Kesha? Kate did not raise a dime and her pie sucked.

Susan1956 said...

The bitch rolled her eyes when Keisha said she herself raised $7,000!!

Somebody slap her!!

librarylady said...

I've never watched this, and am not now. Just not interested. But, are the "celebs" basically acting like on any reality show (i.e. she drummed up some tears like her tv interviews before) and things are setups or is there actually some reality to it?

JoyinVirginia said...

Keisha is bringing Jamie and TFMJG to the board room with her! Geraldo thinks the project manager is going home.

NJGal51 said...

You're right Leslie. I never thought of any of those people, most especially TFM's company.

@xxxxxxxxx: 0 dollars raised should be #automaticfiring #kategosselin is the celeb that the rest of the dlist cast says #whoisthis @ApprenticeNBC #rhap

@Xxxxxxxxx @ApprenticeNBC I raised the same amount of money as Gosselin did and I'm not even on the show! #CelebApprentice #automaticfiring



Jillygee said...

Ok just switched it on for a minute. K looks terrible. Her hair looks ridiculous. Her face saggy. And she looks completely out of place. Yuck. That's all I can take. I will be reading here for admins recap tho lol.

Susan1956 said...

Did anyone else catch the comment she made when Vivica and Keisha got emotional? That she had a Kleenex in her BRA, but didn't think anyone would want it?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

PatK said...

Joy, i thought they made that comment about being married to Kenya, not Kate. I may have misunderstood that, though.

Nice to see Kate brought her bitch face to the show. She is sooo out of place there.

Alberta Girl said...

What an idiot she is. Unfortunately, we all know Kate doesn't get fired, but to say to Ivanka basically, I know I just said that, but I really didn't say that.

Susan1956 said...

$10,000 check?

BAHAWA!!!!!!!!!!

JoyinVirginia said...

Library lady, the show is real reality, the contestants do WORK at tasks. The boardroom can last hours, they edit to show the drama and storyline. Remember the competition is finished and the producers know who will be the final two before the show airs.

Sherry Baby said...

It's interesting that the Cosby kid refused to call him. She said she hadn't spoken to him in five years.

Sue said...

Kate has nerve she should be the one going home. Kate added no money and her pie stunk. Kesha was fired...

Sue said...

spoiler alert... Who will be fired first? Celebrity Apprentice spoilers from Survivor Sucks posters reveal that it seems likely that Keshia Knight Pulliam and Geraldo are the first project managers, and the men win. It is believed that Keshia is the first one fired this season.

For the second challenge it is believed that Kevin Jonas and Kate Gosselin take on the project manager roles. Celebrity Apprentice spoilers indicate that it seems that the women will win, and Jonas is fired.

Alberta Girl said...

And Kate - either get better undergarments, or don't wear such a tight dress. You can see every panty line. Trashy.

Jeanne said...

It sounds worse than I expected. Thanks for the recaps. I cannot bring myself to watch her pull her usual crap.

JoyinVirginia said...

TFMJG has diarrhea of the mouth in defending herself. Talking over keisha. TFMJG said that if there is a plan that doesn't work out and she is in charge, it's her fault. That is why the cruise failed, fault of TFMJG. That is why the Twist ofKate tv project failed, fault of TFMJG. That is why Tony couldn't reach her, it was TFMJG fault!

Anonymous said...

(Leslie)
Kate should have been fired. Keisha brought in $7,000 Kate zero. But Kate is a "more interesting tv personality" than Keisha so therefore she was fired.

Dmasy said...

It is so true that TIMING is everything. Just a few months later the Cosby scandal would break. No one would have questioned why he wasn't called for a donation. Rudy Huxtable would not have been fired. Kate escaped being the first fired by the skin of her veneers and timing!

JoyinVirginia said...

TheDonald did give$25000 to Keisha for her charity Camp Kizzy that helps raise self esteem with girls, right before he fired her.

PatK said...

kate definitely had some heavy speech coaching for this show. There's no way she came up with some of her comments on her own. No way. She's just not that intelligent. And again, what a sourpuss facial presence. Totally not enjoyable to watch at all.

Unknown said...

Knowing what we now know about Bill Cosby, no wonder Keshi didn't call him! Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Mel said...

Kate can't shut up. She talks over everyone. She did 90% of the talking. It only matters what she says.

She didn't give anyone else a chance to talk. She acts likd it's all about her. She's thd queen of England and thd rest of thd women ars peons.

Sheeple Herder said...

Keisha tweeted about the deception of editing.....I hope she tells more!

Sue said...

Kate should of had some face work done before the show.

Sheeple Herder said...

"kate definitely had some heavy speech coaching for this show. There's no way she came up with some of her comments on her own. No way. She's just not that intelligent."

She still sounded like a dunce most of the time!

terri said...

Will be curious to see if the mysterious $10,000 shows up on the next fund raising task. If she really had it offered and it just didn't make it in time then there should be no problem having it for next task.

Sue said...

Kesha should have punched Kate in her ugly puss face. Sorry just had to say it!

FireChicksKickAss said...

"Give me a task and I will excel" or some such nonsense. LMAO.

redbirdsings said...

She needs to say when she is clarifying things that she is clarifying that she is a fish in paper out of water here and is flying by the seat of her pants!

WHY WHY WHY didn't Keisha say that kate mostly stood in the lobby area, texting and not going outside and bringing people in, AND that her pie was not liked at all by Buddy! AND she didn't raise any money!

Keisha should of said that out of the 25K bonus that the other girl should of gotten 15K because her pie helped them win the pie challenge for the bonus. I think that would of saved Keisha. You can tell Lorenzo feels really bad about not coming through with no money. It is real. Oh, she had 10K coming. Right. If you say so.

I couldn't believe she kept repeating her new C word!

These appearances on CA will show the masses how inept, socially awkward, and a nut case she really is. The real kate.

Sheeple Herder said...

Ramona, I was thinking the same thing!

Virginia Pen Mom said...

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 39m 39 minutes ago
@Kateplusmy8 Was it against policy 2reach out 2ur twitter followers 2help? U know we could have been there 4U... :)

============

DUUUUUHHHHH, Milo!

LOL, Joy ... You're right. Here's a cheat sheet:

If Kate's in charge and it fails, it's not her fault.
If Kate's in charge and it succeeds, it's her victory.
If Kate's not in charge, and it fails, it's the project manager's fault.
If Kate's not in charge, and it succeeds, it's the team's victory.

Kate has nerve she should be the one going home. Kate added no money and her pie stunk. Kesha was fired...
_____________________________

When a team loses, it is almost always the PM who is fired, unless he or she can state a really good case for someone else to go. And DT loves to keep people who are so irritating, inept or stupid that everyone else hates them. Makes for lots of good drama.

NJGal51 said...

I wonder if CA will lose a lot of viewers when Kevin Jonas is fired. He does have the biggest following of any of them.

@xxxxxxxx: @donaldtrump - second thoughts on eliminating #KeishaKnightPullman for refusing to telephone #Cosby? #CelebApprentice

I'd like the answer to that question also.

swimgirl said...

Milo tweet....

@Kateplusmy8 Whoo Wee....exhale & relief! We made it thru the first week!
*******
We made it through??!! Really, Gladys, there is no we!


Anonymous said...

(Leslie) Again I do think Kate will bring some big money to the show in future episodes. She has several big companies to back her. They made millions off her family. And Steve has a very successful company and Julie her former manager or manager can kick in some large money too.

(Leslie)
Keisha was fired because she is not as interesting as Kate is in the media. Keisha is basically just known for playing a role in the 1980's. Kate is very well known in the media. People love to hate her. And Trump knows this well.

But Kate should have been fired. NO money and her pie sucked per Buddy the judge. Keisha brought in $7,000 and did a very good job as a PM. Even Donald and Ivanka said as much as far as Keisha beinga good PM.

Anonymous said...

(Leslie)
Was anybody else put off with the constant negative comments that Kevin Jonas made towards Geraldo? Boy, it was overkill and made Kevin look small. It was tiring after awhile.

Anonymous said...

She talked more than anyone else and said absolutely nothing. She wasn't given directions? Since when does she listen to anybody?

I hope she stays on a long, long, time. Keep showing the world what you're really made of, Kreider.

PatK said...

I just quickly scanned thru some of the tweets to Kate from Milo. What the heck is this "we" sh*t? "We made it through the first week", etc.

What a nutcake.

Sherry Baby said...

________________
That makes no sense. If you have 10 grand being offered, you figure out a way to get it there -- you overnight it, wire it, put it into your PayPal account for immediate withdrawal...something. I don't believe for a second that she had that much money coming in and couldn't access it.

I guess her paid bots couldn't come up with checks, either! What about TFM and his company? Nothing from him? Not even a mere 100 bucks? Certainly she must know other celebrities who could have contributed a mere pittance? What about her stylist...he's in New York. Guess they're not as close as she once claimed. Unbelievable.

I hate the way she purses her lips when she's nervous or upset. Not a good look for her.

Sunset Blvd said...

Watched and thoroughly enjoyed Downton Abbey and The Good Wife.
Kate who?

NJGal51 said...

Maybe TFM is coaching her on what to say during potty breaks.

Sue said...

Kate will fly under the radar a few more times before the Donald gives her the ax.

Sue said...

Milo must be Kate's alter ego.

redbirdsings said...

When she was blabbering in the BR, I thought, wow, diarrhea of the mouth. I was going to post that, but someone beat me to it! Bwahaha!

She really did get by the skin of her poor veneers!

(Leslie)
I agree with redbirdsings: "WHY WHY WHY didn't Keisha say that Kate mostly stood in the lobby area, texting and not going outside and bringing people in, AND that her pie was not liked at all by Buddy! AND she didn't raise any money! "

Keisha failed to mention that Kate was mainly in charge of the pie that Buddy did not like. Also I agree Keisha should have said that Kate was lazy like Brandi said. When Keisha was on the hot seat she needed to gun after Kate who she brought in but she did not.

But I think even if Keisha did do this it would not have made any difference because Kate is more popular than Keisha. That is a fact of CA...fair or not.

Virginia Pen Mom said...

Remona Blue said... 73
Knowing what we now know about Bill Cosby, no wonder Keshi didn't call him! Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

============

Yes it does. And Keisha looked very uncomfortable every time they mentioned calling him during the fundraising part. So who knows? It's true that this could have had a much different outcome if the Cosby scandal had already broken.

Sherry Baby said...

Knowing what we now know about Bill Cosby, no wonder Keshi didn't call him! Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

______________
Yes, Remona. I thought the same thing. There was more to it than what Keisha said. There was a reason she didn't call him.

Sue said, "Kate has nerve she should be the one going home. Kate added no money and her pie stunk. Kesha was fired..."

__________
It didn't matter that Buddy didn't like her pie. He liked the sweet pie, which was the effort of the team.

JoyinVirginia said...

The boardroom decisions on celeb apprentice are similar to original Apprentice show, and The Donald has consistent rationale.
if project manager chooses to bring back someone who really helped significantly with the task, The Donald and his advisers question that. They want to see the project manager bring back someone who is also strong, and who project manager can explain why their contribution to the task did not measure up. So keisha lack of large contributions plus bringing back Jamie who was responsible for the bonus is why she got fired.

Anonymous said...

I watched Downton Abbey so only caught the last 45 minutes or so of CA. Good God, TFW was way out of her depth, as I expected she would be. Her "performance" in the board room was cringe worthy complete with eye rolling, waving her hands, scowling, bad tempered, and worst of all her interuptions. Her big cheque didn't come in.....she's been let down again. You know the big BooHoo is coming.

bm

NJGal51 said...

I guess The Donald was advised to address the whole Bill Cosby mess. Should she have asked him? It's hard to say because what we now know about Cosby.

@realDonaldTrump: This show was taped just before the terrible Bill Cosby revelations came to light.She still should have asked him for money-goes to charity.

Unknown said...

''@realDonaldTrump: This show was taped just before the terrible Bill Cosby revelations came to light.She still should have asked him for money-goes to charity.''
~~~~~~~
Bull shit! Huge rationalization, DT! She probably had a VERY good idea what BC would have expected from her in return, even if the money was to go to charity!

NJGal51 said...

TFW even sits stoop shouldered. Her facial expressions are terrible. You can tell that she isn't a professional actress because she doesn't know how to do anything but make faces.

Mel said...

Did Tfw ever tweet for dollars?
Wasn't she trying to hide that she was even there?
What did she think was going to happen when she brought in no dollars?

Aww, but she tried hard (in her mind)...so she deserves to win!

Sherry Baby said...

I just quickly scanned thru some of the tweets to Kate from Milo. What the heck is this "we" sh*t? "We made it through the first week", etc.

______________
There is no doubt in my mind that Milo honestly believes that she is part of Kate's family and Kate's life. I often wonder if LOM knows exactly how deep into Celebrity Worship she is, and if so, why he allows this to continue when it's obvious that it's getting worse. Milo was even allowed to stay awake past her bedtime tonight. Oh, happy day.

redbirdsings said...

On the last tweeted picture showing all the CA contestants, it is just pictures of individual people with no reference to anything they have done in their lives like Ian's Shark movie, there is no shark behind him, things like that. But only on TFW's she is in the back yard with the clothes line props and boxes with numbers and the one of the top with the number 8.

They are trying to show, this is all she's got. She birthed 8 kids in 4 years. It is good in that way, but on the other hand, she should of been by herself.

I wish kate would of got Pie Faced! With a big wad of those extensions shown in slow-motion flying out from her head! I think the reason why kate was talking over everyone is because she was trying to deflect and cover up what they were saying, hoping, Ivanka, Piers, and the Donald didn't hear what they say.

Mel said...

Even in her diary, if the outcome was bad, then it was Jon's decision.
If the outcome was good, then it was her decision. She did the same thing here.

Notice how she couldn't accept a team decision. The team decided on one name, but she refused to go with it. Sure not a team player. Just had to keep bringing up the name she wanted.

I liked how Geraldo tried not to trash anyone, even when donald pushed it, he remained team oriented and tactful.

Pam said...

Kate looks like absolute hell in the boardroom.

Susan1956 said...

Can't wait for the recap. Tomorrow, admin?

------
It was actually Brandi that was pushing for the team name, not Kate. Kate said absolutely nothing during the name discussion - no participation at all. Watching now on the West Coast.

Call Me Crazy said...

I love Ivanka. She always asks great questions. She called Kate out when Kate said she needed someone to give her a specific task. Then Kate tried to defend herself and said something stupid to Ivanka like, "Please don't hear what I'm saying." I wish I could remember her exact words. She sounded ridiculous.

AuntieAnn said...

First 15 minutes of the show and I can't tell if that's Kate or a wax figure of her. Her lips haven't moved.

Midnight Madness said...

NJGal51 said... 104
TFW even sits stoop shouldered.

*******************

I think she has that hump and she can't help it. It appears to be a physical deformity.

Did she just say 15 CUPS of seasoning for her pies? CUPS? The hell?

Ohhh...I see what Mel was referring to...the "pie" name. Yeah, what a minor point to argue. Her yapping gets old really fast.

Call Me Crazy said...

She looked like a freaking bobblehead in that boardroom, nodding at everything that anyone said. As if that would make her appear intelligent.

redbirdsings said...

Donna Douglas, Elly May. From Wiki.

"Elly May was like a slice out of my life. She is a wonderful little door opener for me because people love her, and they love the Hillbillies.

Even to this day it's shown every day somewhere. But, as with any abilities, she may open a door for you, but you have to have substance or integrity to advance you through that door.

Maybe TFW could take this advice. You have to have substance or integrity to get yourself through that door.

NJGal51 said...

@XXXXXXXX: The person responsible for @Kateplusmy8 hair on #CelebrityApprentice should be #yourefired
=========
Agree 100%

@ConcernedChick: The ONLY reason @ApprenticeNBC @realDonaldTrump kept @Kateplusmy8 is Keisha is likable aka boring. They need a lazy villain to hate. Kate!
========
Again, agree 100%

@SherriEShepherd: Damn @Kateplusmy8 didn’t raise anything … Here we go… You’re in trouble - who are you going to throw under that bus?
========
And I thought Sherri was one of TFW's buddies.

Mel said...

She was trying waaay too hard. She should have shut up and let others speak. All she did was draw mega attention to how incredibly stupid she is.
Better to remain quiet than to remove all doubt.

She sure was playing to the men.

And sure wasn't willing to let any other woman have *any* of that there limelight. Had to have it all for herself. Even if it meant crawling up on the table and grabbing it away from them.

NJGal51 said...

Midnight - I know that we've discussed whether or not she's got a dowager's hump or just bad posture. We had people in both camps. Sorry if I offended you with my comment, but she looked pretty bad.

NJGal51 said...

Judging by her performance in the boardroom I guess her strategy is to talk longer and louder than anyone else. She sure didn't make much sense though.

Rainbirdie said...

Kate CA quote: "I feel like a good delegator sizes someone up, finds their strength, hands it to them, walks away...". CA must have cut her off because I'm certain the sentence ended this way "and then continues to control the situation by screaming out instructions & put-downs while sitting on a white plastic chair, chomping gum & writing a book on a pink Iphone."

Midnight Madness said...

Midnight - I know that we've discussed whether or not she's got a dowager's hump or just bad posture. We had people in both camps. Sorry if I offended you with my comment, but she looked pretty bad.

***********

No apology necessary. You didn't offend me at all. I think that she has both, but I'm guessing that her bad posture is the result of the hump.

Rainbirdie said...

This tweet made me LOL:
Aidan Park ‏@itsmeaidan · 3m3 minutes ago #CelebApprentice huh #kategosselin is crying tears... I always thought you needed a soul to do that.

Starz22 said...

I forgot that CA was on tonight. I was watching Sister Wives.
As much as I refuse to give TFW any attention...I did enjoy reading here tonight. It's nice to hear that others on the show see her for what she is...It's nice to hear that new people being introduced to TFW see her for what she is.
A no-body ...A HAS_BEEN
So she has 8 kids??? Nobody cares!
Thanks for the up-dates...You all have done great!
TFW you have nothing to offer and you are less intimidating and scary when you'r up against adults!

Isn't dowager's hump caused by bad posture? I remember being told over and over in 'the olden days' to stand up straight and stop having my head lead my body instead of having it between my shoulders with good posture or I would end up w/a hump when I was old. I listened and developed the habit of good posture...no hump for me! Off to see what google says!

Judging by her performance in the boardroom I guess her strategy is to talk longer and louder than anyone else. She sure didn't make much sense though.

No kidding. She talked endlessly without ever coming to a coherent point. While looking incredibly uncomfortable.

What's with Kate's politeness in the boardroom? Thank you for this...thank you for that bs. She's kissing butt big time. Blech. I see Piers has her number though. He noticed her 'laziness' right out of the gate and said so.

I liked how Geraldo tried not to trash anyone, even when donald pushed it, he remained team oriented and tactful.

He did and you don't see that very often in the boardroom. It was a nice change.

Somebody tweeted Kate what she wanted her kids to take from her about the show. She responded with the following. Kate tweeted: "@Mydma?? @ApprenticeNBC hope they see me as being kind courteous problem solving and smart. No yelling or fighting ..Just trying2outsmart:)"

So there is your answer Auntie Ann #133. Kate is trying to be polite and courteous and is taking it over the top as usual. Obviously she is trying hard to correct her "bitchiness" image with her "new" attitude of being nice.

I find that so funny because we have seen her on her TV show ( well over a hundred episodes to be sure) of her being mean, rude, loud, screaming and playing stupid...especially to her kids. You know, the very kids she is NOW trying to teach to be kind and courteous.

I agree that the 'thank you for letting me clarify' was silly. I kept expecting her to do her usual ask herself a question & then give an answer. However, I think that Piers repeated the statement that Kate was lazy but then said something like "I didn't see that" and then commented about the baking. But it is possible I misheard..there were several women talking over him at the time. Will have to watch that part again.

I love Ivanka. She always asks great questions. She called Kate out when Kate said she needed someone to give her a specific task. Then Kate tried to defend herself and said something stupid to Ivanka like, "Please don't hear what I'm saying." I wish I could remember her exact words. She sounded ridiculous.
-----
Kate: "I'm a very give me a role, I will excel". Ivanka: " Keisha, do you think that Kate has a lack of initiative? (directed to Kate) I mean in hearing what you just said 'I am very good when told what to do', that short-changes yourself a little bit, doesn't it?" Kate: "Oh no, oh. Please do not hear me say that & thank you for allowing me to clarify".

I agree with redbirdsings: "WHY WHY WHY didn't Keisha say that Kate mostly stood in the lobby area, texting and not going outside and bringing people in, AND that her pie was not liked at all by Buddy! AND she didn't raise any money! "

Keisha failed to mention that Kate was mainly in charge of the pie that Buddy did not like. Also I agree Keisha should have said that Kate was lazy like Brandi said. When Keisha was on the hot seat she needed to gun after Kate who she brought in but she did not.

But I think even if Keisha did do this it would not have made any difference because Kate is more popular than Keisha. That is a fact of CA...fair or not.
__________

I agree, TFW should have been fired based on no donations, bad pie, and laziness, but in the past DT kept Gary Busey on for quite a while, due to his antics which were insane, and his cast mates clearly wanted him gone, as he was a problem/hinderance in pretty much every task, but DT enjoyed his antics for ratings.

TFW is another ridiculous piece of work.

FYI said...

I really felt bad for Keisha when they kept on bringing up that she did not call BC for a donation. I know this was filmed before all the allegations came out, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm curious to see what Keisha says about it on her subsequent interviews.

That seemed to be the main focus of why Keisha was fired. If this had been filmed AFTER the allegations about BC came out, I think Kate would've been the one fired.

Kate lucked out again. Maybe should thank God for that.

FYI said...

When I saw this tweet from Donald Trump, it got my "blood boiling".

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump · 7h7 hours ago
This show was taped just before the terrible Bill Cosby revelations came to light.She still should have asked him for money-goes to charity.

Hey Donald--ever think that maybe there was a deeper reason she didn't call him? That perhaps she knew more before the scandal erupted? If someone raped or put your daughter in a compromising position, would you still expect her to call him to get a donation?

I'm not saying that Keisha was put in that position by BC, but for him to tweet that just shows that he has no idea why she didn't call him, and to blame her for it is reprehensible.

redbirdsings said...

http://www.pennlive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/01/celebrity_apprentice_recap_bil.html

Headline: 'Celebrity Apprentice' Recap: Bill Cosby is the talk of the town, Kate Gosselin doesn't raise a cent

I feel Keisha broke away from BC years ago and didn't want to call him. I heard her say that she called Tyler Perry. I loved her in Madea goes to Jail. I felt so bad for her.

15 cups of seasoning? I know they were making a big batch of filling, but that big pot they were using didn't justify that much seasoning. You add then taste test, if you need more, you add it. Those Cheshire cat grins she was doing was evil.

They show Vivica calling someone a Toxic Tart. They then show a shocked kate with her gasp and mouth wide open. She is wearing a sleeveless pinkish purple dress with her hair slicked back in a ball and a think strand of hair to the side, like the 60's.

Lazy, didn't bring customers in, bad pie and didn't raise any money. She should of been fired.

redbirdsings said...

She was suppose to be in Philly at the viewing party. And didn't she tweet that the kids were going to stay up and watch, did she say that she was going to be home. I know the twins will be super embarrassed.

She had some serious coaching because this is not in Kate's nature. I think the "thank you for letting me clarify" will be a theme in the boardroom during her time on the show.

C is for ?? said...

I'm relying on your live tweets and commentary, thanks to everyone who's chimed in!

What is the "new word" (starts with a C?) that people are noticing Kate using on CA?

Mel said...

Kind, courteous, problem solving, smart...huh?

What I saw in the boardroom was sucking up to those higher in power, crying at everything, submissive behavior like crazy. She looked and sounded like a dog on its back, all 4 legs up.

Oh no, that's not what i meant, thank you for letting me clarify. But first, thank you for letting me speak. Thank you. Thank you. I am not worthy. Thank you. Want me to scratch anything for you? Thank you. Thank you for letting me exist. Thank you. Did I say thank you? Oh, thank you.
She practically licked their feet. Looked like a strong business woman. NOT!

In the team environment I saw back stabbing, diva, lazy, manipulative behavior. She was not a team player at all. Refused to go along with team decisions. Manipulated so that she either did no work or had an easier task. Didn't give the task she did have a good effort.

Texting on her phone when she should have been working. I don't consider that giving that her all.

Bad mouthing others in the context of rolling her eyes or making faces while they were talking. Real team player there. Not. I don't consider that kind OR courteous. Or smart.

I saw hogging the limelight. Lots of overacting. Absolutely every one else was trying to look impassive, showing no expression. And there 's TFW making over acted faces at everything, thus guranteeing herself 90% of the camera time.

She seems to view herself as the great peace maker in the sky. As soon as someone shows upset she runs to them like a strong magnet and practically licks their body, thinking that will comfort them
I guess.

It's weird. Most people hate that, I can't see why she does it. The person just looks at her like 'get away from me.'

I saw hogging the time in the boardroom. Very rude behavior.
Why did she think only she got to talk? She didn't give anyone else a chance to talk, made no effort to draw out the quieter ones, to see what they thought. She wasn't interested in what anyone else thought.

And talked over anyone else who did try to talk, including the Trumps and Piers. It only mattered what she had to say.

She did the submissive dog act to Ivanka when she wasn't ignoring her. Mostly she did the crying, doe-eyed look aimed at the two men.

Not anything a self respecting woman would do. A complete embarrassment. She looked like an idiot. I would be embarrassed to have my kids see me behaving like that. Or anyone else.

Mel said...

She had a lot of frenetic energy when in the boardroom. Think she was on uppers?

I wonder if Kate will appear on the Today Show like Keisha said she would. Perhaps every person "fired" will make their appearance on the show.

I personally think the Today Show wanted nothing to do with her after her appearance with Mady and Cara. Remember when she appeared on Good Morning America when her last special showed. Normally she would have gone on the Today Show to promote it. But apparently they did NOT invite her so she had to go on GMA. Darn, the Today Show will be forced to have her back. What a shame.

Mel said...

It kind of annoyed me about how they kept pushing the pm to call Cosby.

She's not stupid. She knew a call there could bring in big dollars, yet she elected not to make the call.

Knowing that a call there could make the win, and yet electing not to make it tells me that she must have had a pretty good reason for not making the call. That's her call. No one should be second guessing her on it.

I didn't like how the others didn't respect her decision not to make the call. It wasn't respectful to her in the least.

How come no one was pressuring TFW to call the head of TLC? Or Discovery? Or any of the other rich people she may have met along the way?

Mel said...

I think that if the pm would have given appropriate credit to Jamie, the pm would not have been fired. They would have fired TFW instead.

I love how in these things TFW is always at the bottom of the heap. How she is one of the two worst players/dancers, but stays on due to some other dynamic of the situation.

And then we have Milo saying what a winner TFW is. Strong, competent woman who wins at everything she does.

Uh huh. That's why she's always in the bottom two. Why it's always between her and another person to be the first person fired/sent home.

I think the boyfriend rumor was put out there by TLC knowing more info could be coming out about the relationship between Kate and Steve now that CA is airing. Why didn't TLC make a donation for Kate? It could have helped to advertise her "specials" coming up. I thought she was best friends with Kendra and her DWTS buddies and Taylor Swift and People magazine. Seems if she is as loved as she says she is she should have lots of connections. Very telling.

Well we knew she wouldn't be the first one fired because of the wedding dress pics.
What was with her stupid facial expressions? And the head nodding?
I agree, she had some coaching, but she's not used to having to speak against others who have skill and I'm sure also had some coaching for the show. She starts off pretty confident but then starts sputtering and never really says anything of substance or meaning. Playing ring around the rosy,just spinning and spinning and not actually saying anything.
Yeah )n she delegates alright, but she has the nerve to say let the person then do the job?? OmG!! She can never let anyone do their job!!she will always swoop in to correct or telll you you're doing it all wrong. That comment was rich.
So she had ONE person ready to give $10,000?? Bitch please! She came up with that after she heard Keshia's excuses.

@_Entertain_S: Keshia Knight Pulliam Fired From Celebrity Apprentice For Not... #CelebrityApprentice http://goo.gl/KHHAJL pic.twitter.com/ODWR6vZJT0
========
A well written article and i totally with this statement out of the article.

"What's truly baffling here is why the show's producers didn't edit this stuff out, trim it down, or make some kind of statement about it beforehand. Sure, Cosby wasn't a big topic a year ago, but he's easily one of the most loathed celebrities in America right now. In light of everything we've heard in the past few months, it's kind of insane to have an extended sequence where a female acquaintance of Bill Cosby's gets fired from a job because she didn't beg Bill Cosby to help her get ahead."

@JasonBacke: Ok. I kept my mouth shut but when @BrandiGlanville called @Kateplusmy8 lazy??? #reallyqueen nobody works harder than @Kateplusmy8 xo
========
Why didn't you give her a donation to show your support rather than this lame, after the fact tweet? While we did see TFW had a hand in baking (15 cups of spices?) she just seemed to be standing around once the store opened. BTW, Buddy did mention that there were too many spices in it so I guess when TFW said her kids "didn't have to like it but did have to eat it" was a true statement. No screeches of delight of 10s for her pie last night.

Tucker's Mom said...

Ack! I forgot to dvr CA, but am catching up her and online.
I have to say I am APPALLED at DT for brow beating Keisha for not calling Bill Cosby, and f*ck his tweet explaining that the taping was before the scandal broke and dozens of women share the same story of predation, drugging and rape.
DT is an asshole of the highest order. Sorry, I'm fuming after watching a clip of the boardroom firing.
BC's is a well-known philanderer and he has been accused of sexual assault multiple times over decades.
It's not like Pa Walton suddenly had women telling stories of attacks. No. BC has had a very, very sullied reputation for many years, and unless you're an idiot and live under a rock, you KNOW this.
So, why it the hell did DT keep pushing Keisha about not contacting BC?
Keisha was visibly upset and when she said she's not been in any regular contact with BC for 5 years, and didn't want to contact him, the Donald should have had a fricking CLUE!! I mean, back the hell off!!
Look at the woman!!! She is shaking. Her voiceis shaking--at the mere mention of BC.
How insensitive and clueless can you be?
There is no excuse for what DT did to her. Maybe she deserved to be fired, but pushing the point that she she didn't contact a many whom she CLEARLY wanted not to contact was just abusive.
Did it NOT occur to DT that Keisha doesn't want to have anything to do with him, a very, very, very rich man whose money could have saved her, for a reason??
Jeebus, Donald!!

Oh, and what is WITH Kate's faces?? Just wanted to smack the nodding smirk off!

Vanessa said...

And although she was in a room full of other botoxed, siliconed bleach blondes, she still has that dead stare. Leeza has had some very obvious work done, but her warmth still shines through. And Ivanka is absolutely gorgeous. She definitly got the best of both her parents. Donald's cupid lips look much better on her! And her voice is lovely, like velvet.
When Lorenzo said something about having had paid a lot out to his exes, I liked that the camera panned over to tfw. I guess only the few who have followed the trainwreck would see the joke of it- how she "got everything" (a la Ivana)
And she's "been in court "(pause)" A lot"

It sounds as if Kate's monkey extensively coached her for CA.
"Kite, here's the plan: baffle them with bullshit. Just keep talking until you wear them down and they just don't care anymore! Talk so much that they wish for death to benevolently relieve them of the pain! Make them grateful that you shut the hell up and they will have Stockholm syndrome and owe you a debt of gratitude, which they will express by not firing you!"

Tucker's Mom said...

I think Kate is not lazy when it comes to self promotion and using her kids. She will tirelessly pursue any and all opportunities for fame.
When it comes to working, that's another story. All one needs to do is watch the RV episodes to see that Kate did a minimum of actual work-leaving for hours to find "organic" food. Holing up with TFM in her RV for HOURS getting hair and makeup done, all the while Jamie and Ashley are watching the kids, feeding them, setting up camp etc.

Molly12 said...

When was the last time Trump gave the person he was firing $25k for their charity? Of the seasons I have watched, that has never happened. I think he knew Keisha should not have been fired but had to keep polarizing Kate on the show longer so gave Keisha a parting gift. JMO

TLC stinks said...

They kept the Bill Cosby stuff in for publicity, which worked because that is what is being talked about on the Internet today, IMO.

I watched Downton instead, so am waiting anxiously for the recap. One thing I read that was interesting is how CA reveals true personalities of these D Listers. I hope TFM was not involved in helping her with her tasks, but I think he was. No doubt she entered the show with a strategy and was coached but that will not last because she cannot help but reveal who she really is. Although she attempted to draw attention to herself with the faces, looks like she managed to stay clear of most of the drama for now. The wedding dress task should be a hoot, though.

I don't believe for one minute she had anyone planning to make a big donation.

MikeB said...

I think at this point TFW is happy to play the person people love to hate. It is all she has to offer since she is a bad combination of lazy and incompetent. If it wasn't for all the negative articles she would have likely faded into obscurity long ago. In her mind bad publicity is better than no publicity.

If it wasn't for the Omarosa effect that TFW is bringing to this season of CA I think she would have been eliminated last night. She was in charge of the pies the Cake Boss didn't like and she didn't raise any money at all for the charity. She didn't do anything to promote the Pie Face challenge on her social media even though she touts her 200,000 followers. She contributed nothing and I think DT knows it. He is just keeping her around for the publicity.

She knows if she doesn't stir up controversy that she will just fade away into obscurity. She really thinks being a mediocre mom is worse than being a hated TV character.

JudyK said...

Have been gone for a long time, but had to come back to read the comments here, but I'm going to comment on my own first and then enjoying the hell out of reading the other comments. Surprised this is just now airing, since it was filmed nearly one year ago.

Kate should be in Webster's Dictionary as the meaning for "resting bitch face." Her ugly soul continues to shine through.

Did anyone consider that she may have contacted him and he said no? I know she's saying she didn't, but maybe she was afraid to throw BC under the bus for refusing to donate.

DT is an ass for that tweet this morning. He's an ass for many reasons, but especially for that tweet.

DT phoned into Fox and Friends this morning when they did their CA piece with Geraldo. DT was backpedaling bigtime on the Cosby thing, reiterating that this taped before the Cosby scandal broke and adding that he's not a fan of Cosby for his own reason...not the scandal stuff...but for another very good reason.

He never did give the reason, just all that cryptic bs.

I think she followed her coached advice but will quickly revert to type. Anyone coaching her couldn't possibly know more than she does.

Absolutely Trump will keep her around for the ratings. He's well aware of her poisonous personality. I think she makes it to the final 5, all for ratings, and I predict she'll be in the boardroom every single time her team loses. She's trash t.v. gold.

I think we should start a betting pool on what she has to say in the (sniff, sniff) limo ride home.

1. She's not used to such negativity and she's not a competitive person (no, she's not, she likes things handed to her).

2. She did it to show her kids that you can compete in this world and be polite. (as if she would even know the meaning of the word)

3. She can't wait to get home to those 8, count 'em, 8 adorable little faces. She's missed them so much, this has been so hard on her. (she needs to refill her narc supply by having them dote on her)

Great review from 2011

But the real problem may be Kate herself. Spray-tanned to an unappealing shade of chestnut, wearing heels to any and all occasions (even when that means she isn’t able to play with her kids, whom she tends to treat as small irritants), she looks and acts more like a C-list starlet than a struggling mom, and it’s pretty clear TLC has taken any struggle out of her day-to-day existence. While she’s now a single mom, she’s one who gets book deals and TV contracts and has a bodyguard. We could just as easily be watching a family of meerkats for as much as we can relate to Kate’s high class problems.

Although I greatly dislike Donald Trump and his sons (big game hunters, among other things), I've always found Ivanka charming. She has a beautiful blog that's worth viewing - Google The Art of Ivanka Trump. For some reason, I'm not able to c/p a link at the moment.

I've been watching CA since it started, back when it was just The Apprentice and while it's not brainy TV, it's certainly amusing. Kate is way out of her element and I bet as we get further into the show, we'll see her come undone, invoking her children and throwing Jon in the gutter.

Call Me Crazy said...

Rainbirdie - Thanks for her actual quote. It sounds even more ridiculous than I remembered!

JoyinVirginia - The men raised about $185,000. The $280,000 figure is after the money that was raised by the women's team (93,000) was added to their final tally. It is one aspect of CA that I really dislike. I wish that extra money from the losing team would be divided up over several different charities.

NJGal51 - That tweet from Jason Backe was priceless. As you said, if he was all that concerned about her, he should have ponied up some money. His tweet would have been more accurate if he had revised it to say: "Nobody works harder to appear like they are working hard than @Kateplusmy8."

PatK said...

I'm enjoying how Kate is getting hammered on her timeline by so many who have never tweeted her before. Bit by bit, the true Kate is being exposed on CA for all the world to see. Perhaps being greedy and doing CA for the $$ may finally backfire on her so-called "career" instead of boosting it.

Sure, everyone loves a trainwreck, but there are others who do it with better entertainment and finesse. You're done, Kate. You'll never get any higher than filming a few episodes here and there with your growing and not-so-cute-anymore spawn.

Someone on twitter told her Walmart is hiring greeters. Perhaps she should listen.

I think people are giving TFW too much credit for being the big draw on the show. Kevin Jonas has almost 5 million followers and Brandi has over 600K followers. Brandi and Kenya (?) are both on very popular housewife shows right now. TFW is going to continue to talk over everyone in the boardroom because that's what she does with her kids. We already know that she doesn't get fired right away but don't know whether it's due to dumb luck or if she amps up the drama. Every season needs a Gary Busey and a Meatloaf so I guess this is her time to shine in that role.

TFW is so out of place with the other contestants. She's with a group of educated, practiced, hard working people but her total lack of substance of any kind makes her stick out like a sore thumb. She's so totally uninformed and she can't relate to her peers. And her face contortions and silly eye rolls... are immature and prove how out of place she is.

If TFW has something to say she needs to put her thoughts into words and express them like the adult she is supposed to be rather than making faces like a child - a lesson she should be teaching her children instead of trying to be cute and desperate for attention. She's getting attention alright - the negative kind! IMO she demonstrates immature behavior and proves she has nothing of any substance to contribute to any conversation. Gawd, she made a fool of herself every time she opened her mouth on last nite's episode.

In the context of when the show was filmed, I can see his point. I'm not saying he is right, just that I can see his point. However, his Twitter response is unforgivable, but certainly not surprising. For him to concede that he missed her cues would be to admit he made a mistake, and that will never ever happen. I suppose he thinks it shows weakness, or some similar Neanderthal thought. It would have served him well to say that if this was being filmed today, there may have been a different outcome. But given the information he had at the time, he thinks he made the right call. But, in his mind, that would be the equivalent of admitting he made a mistake, which, like TFW, he would never, ever do.
His statement makes him look like a bullying, narcissistic and amoral tyrant--which, of course, he is.

I too have been gone for awhile, but couldn't resist taping CA last night while I watched Downton Abby. I fast-forwarded through the episode this morning, stopping only to watch TFW in the boardroom.

Her physical appearance is shocking, she looks dreadful. She has ruined her looks with Botox, and whatever else she has injected in to her face. Her lifeless hair draped her dead eyes and waxy face, nothing moving naturally (other than her bobble-head motion). What came out of her mouth was meaningless, trite and vacuous.

The Donald will keep her around for awhile to garner ratings, but she should have been eliminated last night.

She is trying to be so cutesy, demure and polite, but it just makes her appear completely insincere and not particularly bright. 185

Well, she is insincere and not particularly bright. She is also willfully ignorant. Maybe she thinks that's cute too.
I can't understand why she has any media presence at all. As my beloved mother used to say, she's a pimple on the ass of progress.

She called Trump "your honor"?! What a freakin' moron.

BTW, Robert has posted the Pastebin journal excerpt on his site. I know some of you do not believe he would risk posting the journal on pastebin, but because it deals with 2006 and part of 2007, that's the same timeline he used, and now he has posted it on his site with a Pastebin disclaimer.

I cannot or do not know how to see the entire journal on Pastebin but it looked like there were over 200 typed pages? Is the entire journal posted? I always wondered if she wrote about her infatuation with Steve (we know about the hearts on the calendar, LOL). She wrote so much detail that I cannot believe she did not write about her crush. I don't know when TLC hired him, but they were everywhere together in 2008-2009.

Adding to one of my previous comments quoting a TV critic, put me down for watching a family of meerkats rather than Kateplus8, LOL.

Despite what Milo may think, Kate was or is not the big draw on CA. She is barely mentioned in any internet articles today.

IMO his tweet was unforgivable. He should have left well enough alone. But like Katie, he just doesn't know when to shut up.

Kate's eyebrows look like the insignias on the Star Trek uniforms from the old tv show.....

teehee :)
Her eyes seemed like they had been scotch-taped open. She looked constantly surprised but half asleep at the same time.

There was an abundance of botox happening on quite a few of the celebs' faces. They all start to look alike after awhile. The makeup tables must have syringes full of the stuff ready to inject at the first sign of a wrinkle.

Blech INDEED! When she called The Donald, "Your Honor," I almost upchucked. She's so phoney.

Hi Judy K! Nice to see your name here again! I hope you stick around.

Yep saying 'your honor' was stupid. Good grief. Does she think Donald doesn't know a suck-up when he sees one? Oh and she just had to throw in how she's been in court a lot. Too bad he didn't let her explain why.

So DT doesn't like BC for his own very good reason? Could it be this?

However, I think that Piers repeated the statement that Kate was lazy but then said something like "I didn't see that" and then commented about the baking. But it is possible I misheard.

Or I might have misheard him, too. I thought he said 'I did see that' but maybe that's just what I wanted to hear. ha.

Flight of the Kiwi (#184), nice to see you - happy New Year!

I didn't watch, and will get all the enjoyment I need reading all
your comments. With the cherry on top being Admin's recap.

"I feel like a good delegator sizes someone up, finds their strength, hands it to them, walks away.." Hands what "it" to them? Their strengths? Their task? A rubber duck? She is such a poor
communicator.

Of all people to claim TFW is not lazy, her hairdresser has to be
the most hilarious choice. When she's with him, she has carved
out an ENTIRE DAY to work on her appearance. A long trip to
NYC, hours and hours in a chair being groomed, and then often
a meal in NYC afterwards (perhaps some yummy fish in paper!),
then a long trip home. No "feeding a meal" in that equation.
No endless piles of laundry. No cleaning. No errands. Just
basically a day of pampering without her children. Her hairdresser
saying she's not lazy has just as much validity as DT saying she
is a great mother. Which is to say, none.

DT, and bobblehead Kate and Kenya are dense. Just dense. Keisha repeatedly said she would not be contacting BC and no one says, "hmm...why? It makes no sense on the surface, but maybe there's a reason why"
BC would have been a no brainer, so why would Keisha not be swayed when asked over and over again?
Think, people. Think.
And there's Kate, nodding in agreement with Dump Truck, who still thinks Keisha should have gotten money from an alleged sexual predator and criminal.
Let's say Keisha did get money from BC. Would charity would have kept it after the allegations surfaced?
I still can't believe the Smithsonian will continue to show his art as their marquee exhibit.
His money and art collection should be rejected by anyone with a moral compass.

She should have been fired strictly on the basis of the "spices". Who among us would add, what was it, 15 (?) cups, without tasting/checking before adding such an amount even to a huge batter. Ha,ha, "her" pie didn't win.

I'm guessing that "check" that didn't get there in time, will arrive in time to save her (temporarily) later on down the line.

Love this from a review:

"Knight Pulliam led Johnson and the other women, including classless reality TV mope Kate Gosselin, who at one point offered Vivica A. Fox a tissue from her bra."
