Tucker's Mom said... 12 Kate's throwing the vacatiton out there either to confirm filming, or try to fool people into thinking they are, after all the talk about a 3-episode "season".
****
She also has to one-up Jon, who took the kids on a mediocre vacation to the Jersey shore.
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 7 Aug 2012 Swept up the sand,ate ice cream snack, tucked the littles in, now watching Olympics w C&M &friends! Loving r X in peaceful beach house!

I would be mortified to still be "tucked in" at age 13.
I enjoyed time I've spent in North Carolina. I was in Elizabeth City in July....but it's RIDIC hot in July. OFF SEASON for sure. That sounds like something Kate would do, cheap out.
Who wants to watch someone else's kids learn how to ski?
&&&&&
Who wants to watch someone else's kids do anything?
Seriously, I'm never gonna get the appeal, if that is the appeal. I think something is wrong with you if you're watching this for the kids. I think most viewers at this point are watching because they cannot believe Kate. Like a train wreck and you can't look away.
I meant to ask anyone who watched the Halloween episode, how did the boys appear? Either of them showing signs of not cooperating with the usual show b.s. like Cara?
&&&&
Despite their mother, the boys are great. Chill, easy going, good sense of humor. I think filming is not going to affect them much because they are very agreeable, with chip-in, can-do attitudes. They are both Jon's sons. Filming seems to have taken a much bigger toll on Collin and the more emotional girls.
Of note, both boys spend regular time with their father.
Maybe it's a company house used for VIPs when they're in town and a mini vacation is a consolation (or cancellation) prize for TFW getting the bad news about her show.

Yes, it's very hot here and humid. Kate seems to enjoy the heat which gives her an opportunity to flaunt her body. It's actually cooler here now. Last week was in the 100's heat index. It looks that way again toward the end of the week.
A connection to somebody with a vacation home at Figure 8 makes sense. Raleigh and Charlotte are a couple of hours apart.
@MiloandJack: @Kateplusmy8 Well, my goodness since ur on vacation, I feel guilty expecting a #TweetParty. After all...vacations are for relaxing! :) ======== Here's Milo!

Yeah, I'm sure she feels "guilty". She's probably been salivating all day in anticipation.
Siobhan R @SiobhanR111 Who will take care of the kids if u r incapacitated. That IS a legitimate fear @Kateplusmy8 I can't fault u for worrying about that.
Even Milo's not buying it.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 Oh please...just get out there and have fun!! You are tough..
Probably knee-deep in a bottle of chardonnay by now:
Denise @Mydmaxx Replying to @mumlvs2run @Kateplusmy8 @TLC I think our host is still vacationing 😁
When explaining why they went skiing, Kate just said on the show that they've "never done the New England states before".
Where does she think Maine and Massachusetts are located?
%%%
No, that's Old England.
Funny, I swear she also said last time they went to Maine they had never been to New England before, and everybody was like, then how did you meet that creepy Em fan at the marathon in Connecticut then???
Obviously, "making memories" isn't doing a whole lot for her. She really is a dimwit. You'd think one of the producers might have mentioned it to her. Not like it was 25 years ago, it was 2014, FFS.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 You got them color coded...who is who all dressed??
She had to color-code her kids? WTF? I guess Milo plans to asks unanswered questions the whole episode. I'm wondering if K8's absence tonight is just a big middle finger to TLC. It's not like she could be expected to handle it gracefully or anything.
Uh oh, still no Kate....TLC is not going to be happy. Only a few diehards tweeting which means the bots probably don't chime in until TFW checks in. Milo's giving a running commentary of the action.
Sad but true (#21), and as usual, the fans have selective amnesia. TFW has left the kids at the drop of a hat many, many times since the divorce, when they were much younger and not remotely self sufficient. The best example of that was when she was in NYC for a MONTH doing Celebrity Apprentice. If she broke her leg tomorrow, she'd at least be home with her kids, and they'd get along just fine. I don't get the dramatics.
Siobhan R @SiobhanR111 Who will take care of the kids if u r incapacitated. That IS a legitimate fear @Kateplusmy8 I can't fault u for worrying about that.

It's her fault if she has nobody to watch the kids if she's incapacitated.

She DID says she hadn't been to New England before back during the New England episode. Is she stupid or just dumb?
I said this about it in the recap: "Kate has discovered, Chris Columbus style, that they have never been to New England before, so that would be a great place to get TLC to pay for a trip to. Hm. But they all went to Connecticut in 2012 to run a race together. Maybe she thinks New England is its own state."

Seems Kate has ghosted her own party. ======== And that's how you can tell that TFW buys comment bots. If she's not there neither are they. She can't blame it on a time change because it's in the same time zone as PA. Major fail on TFW's part. She'll claim exhaustion from a day in the sun.

Friends and I have done that a couple times, in our younger days, because it's dirt cheap and so much of it is indoors.
We stayed in the MGM grand, shopped and ate, and when we were outside, we were at their giant pool area and lazy river just up to our neck in the cool water, drinks, and big sun hats.
The parking garage was an inferno. The drive succcckkked.

How nice of you to provide her with a handy excuse. Of course, she had no problem with IG earlier today. I'm sure she'll be throwing out some BS for the fans when she gets around to it.
Friends and I have done that a couple times, in our younger days, because it's dirt cheap and so much of it is indoors. ======== Been there and done that. Now we go the week before Christmas. A room at the Paris is $49 a night and the weather is mild.
She promised she would answer questions and she's gone mute on both Instagram and twitter. Lol, dolt. A lot of comments are negative, asking where Collin is and telling her she ruined the vacation.
Also, the photo she posted on instagram is so ridiculously far away, you can't even tell who anyone is.

But, ya save big money. *** Same here! I hear ya. We stayed at the Bellagio and had a ball. It was newer then. We saw shows, ate, lounged and did a little walking. We also took the free trolley around to other casinos. It was fun, but next visit will be when it's cold here, and warm there. Screw it. Life's too short!
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 So....only a few minutes left. We are partying anyway! You #SlipSlidding away somewhere Kate? #TweetMaster where are you?

Kim Wright @KimW1031 @Kateplusmy8 You overthink things & that is where your fear lives. What did you think would happen? I try not to overthink things now :)
I don't think her problem is overthinking. It's needing to be the center of attention all. the. time.
Tucker's Mom (#49), TFW, 12-year-old that she is, made a commitment, and bailed when she found something better to do. Maybe she thought she was going to be stuck in the room with her kids, but found another activity for them, so she's out partying. She may be getting her foot licked as we speak...

I wonder how TLC feels about Kate missing the tweet party. Last week, they were retweeting Kate's tweets as she was making them.
This week they were already to go when they tweeted this at 10pm:
TLC Network@TLC 47m47 minutes ago Don't miss an all new #KatePlus8 starting NOW! What's a family vacation without a little drama?
What to do-what to do? They ended up retweeting a few if the tweets from people using the hashtag #Kateplus8
TLC Network Retweeted D. Wheat @goosefacekillah 43m43 minutes ago @TLC #KatePlus8 LOVE this show! I hope they keep making it. Those kids are too funny
TLC Network Retweeted K 💗 @khendlejade 29m29 minutes ago I love Alexis 💕 #KatePlus8
And then they retweeted one of the tweets on Kate's timeline:
TLC Network Retweeted Christian Snyder @csnyder5 31m31 minutes ago @Kateplusmy8 Aaden & Joel getting facials was really entertaining 😂 I always find their banter back and forth funny #KatePlus8
This leads me to believe even more that they are not filming. If they were, I'm sure someone would have made sure that Kate was live tweeting this episode.

XXXXX Kate, seriously stop the whining, you are rediculous and such a poor role model. Quite sickening.
XXXXX She's not afraid to get nasty with her kids, but is a whiner to do something fun, like her kids...skiing. She should let the kids go with someone who likes to have fun, and she can stay home and shut up. Wah wah wah
XXXXX How come last week started and next week is already the season final??? I am so mad 😡
XXXXX Why did I think after 2 years of not seeing her I could actually tolerate her whining and crying down a snow ski slope!!! Channel change!

Maybe she had a few glass of wine tonight and that's why she was a no show on twitter.
Even if she couldn't live tweet the entire show, she should have at least showed up on twitter and said something about not being able to live tweet. She could have said "Sorry, guys, won't be live tweeting. After a day of sun and sand I'm exhausted and going to bed. :("
So she seriously didn't tweet once? Can't wait to hear her excuse. She'll probably say one of the kids suddenly took ill (like their Easter allergy attacks), and only Mommy could make it better. But it would be epic if someone posted a picture of her out frolicking somewhere. But does anyone care enough to take her picture anymore?

sheeby86@kateplusmy8 way to dramatic for my liking....super embarrassing to watch a grown woman throw hissy fits and whine and cry over every little thing and make everything to be about you and trying to make everyone and everything "perfect"....newsflash, at your age you should know by now there is no such thing. I do enjoy watching the kids grow though, perhaps make like the Duggars and have a show just on the kids with very small cameos by yourself......
Maybe she's pouting about TLC's recent announcement, and in her passive-aggressive way is hitting back by refusing to tweet. I'm sure TLC's not happy with this little stunt. She'll come back tomorrow with some lame excuse to smooth things over, but no matter what, she dropped the ball.
Gladys, yes, rather than dealing with her fears as an adult, it would be wonderful for TFW to teach her kids that alcohol helps you relax. She can add that to "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I smell another book deal!
Omg guys!We are on vacation&took a long swim&played card games as a family&since we don't have @tlc here we MISSED YOU!😥 #KatePlus8 #SoSorry
If they don't have TLC there, why did she promise a tweet party in the first place? You would think she would've checked whether they could watch the show first.
By the way, doesn't TLCgo have live streaming? If so, that makes it even a lamer excuse.

brighid.mcneilwhy didn't you invite collin on vacation
kitty62862 Momma Bear, maybe it might be good to talk to a pro about your fearfulness. Your kids are big enough to share safe adventures with you as you say goodbye to fear. Being concerned for safety is admirable, but you need to cut loose a little. At this stage, your kids will appreciate being a part of Mom growing past her fears. I have to congratulate you on not imparting the fears to your children. This was the first time I've actually watched your show. You have 8 teenagers. The thought of that both scares me silly, and makes me respect you enormously. I had one child, she's 24 now. I don't know how you do it, but you do. You clearly love your children. You're headed for the most difficult phase with your younger ones, and you have 6 going through it at the same time. YIKES!!! I wish you the very best. Wish I'd had a Mom like you.
brighid.mcneil that's kinda rude that you didn't even invite your own son on vacation
I thought the comment from the horrible mother was when all of the tups were racing on the tube tires down the mountain she said, Goodbye kids, HAVE A NICE LIFE!
I wonder if that is what she told Collin when he was taken away.
When she rode the tube tire down the mountain, she EASILY jumps and stands up and says really hateful, GOODBYE! And stomps off back up.
She couldn't barely stand when she was on the skis.
Could you imagine being her physical therapist in rehab if she had to try to walk at the double bars?
Not that I want anything to happen to her, but her meanness and attitude is off the charts.

Um, huh??? Why didn't she pop in BEFORE everybody sat around waiting for her--to say OOPS looks like I'm not gonna tweet tonight sorry.
Besides what does having TLC have to do with anything? Shouldn't she know what people are asking about given that she was THERE?
This is where just how rude and uncaring she is comes out. She really truly doesn't see anything wrong with what she just did.

Well, you've only got one more episode to worry about.
It's also lame that she waited 20 minutes after the episode to end before she tweeted anything. Why didn't she tweet at 10pm when she "discovered" that they didn't get TLC?
I don't buy her excuse. I think she just didn't want to be bothered, especially since there's only one more episode left.
IMO, she made that IG post about tweeting just to get people to watch, making an empty promise she had no intentions of keeping. That's probably also the reason she posted the vacation post, so that she'd have a built in excuse for not tweeting.

Her excuse makes zero sense. She wishes she'd been there to tweet? She was there -- she just didn't do it! TLC being available to her or not had absolutely no bearing on her being able to respond to fan's comments. She lived the ski trip -- it's not like she would have no idea what the fans were talking about.
Raise your hand if you can picture her sitting with her sons at 10pm playing cards. Much more likely she was playing with Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan...
Her no show tonight makes me believe even more that she's not filming on this vacation. Had she been filming she damn sure would have been at that tweet party.

Right, and she's full of it. Even if she is doing the card games and pool time, she would bring her phone with her. That's just what people do these days, ya bring your phone.
Again, I don't have a problem if she would like to spend time with her children instead of tweet, great. But, don't say you will host a chat and then just not show up. How is that okay? She's really unbelievable.
Well, that was 2 hours of non-entertainment. But it was a gold mine as far as psychological studies.
So I’m still working on admin’s theory of Kate + 8 & other TLC shows having to show more commercials because a lot of advertisers refuse to have their ads run during Counting On.
For the purpose of tonight's recount, I am going to count a couple promos and a video baby announcement as commercials and will place a number behind any commercial shown more than once. If Khate watched Counting On, she must be spitting nails. The Duggars got a real studio instead of the basement in their house and an actual host for their trivia game (because this is what this episode and next week’s episode boils down to). The host/interviewer is Daphne Oz (one of the hosts of The Chew) and pregnant with her 3rd child. Present were Jana, Jessa (who talked the most) and Ben, Jinger and Jeremy, Joy-Anna & Austin, Joseph (Kendra is to join the group in next week’s episode—something I found interesting is that Kendra’s father is the Duggar’s pastor and it sounds like ‘church’ is located a fair distance away from the Duggars), John-David, and Josiah (I would say Josiah is the cutest of the older Duggar boys—the other boys look too much like JoshieBoy). There was some minor shade thrown at John-David/rewriting of history/care taken to let the audience know John-David has never been in a relationship.
The program began with a 1 minute intro consisting of scenes from this season of Counting On. I'm not going to recap the show any further, just list commercials.
*1st round of commercials
1. Outdaughtered 2. The Spouse House 3. Taco Bell 4. Haribo Gold Bears 5. Progressive 6. Girl's Trip--Universal Movie 7. Culver's 8. Local law firm--I prefer not to identify local businesses, but I will be giving them a call tomorrow. 9. Princess Diana: Tragedy or Treason 10. I Am Jazz 11. Hair Goddess *These last 2 commercials were very short and at first I thought they combined them.
*2nd round of commercials
11. 'Sneak Peek'--Meet the Putmans, a new TLC show which will premiere on September 11th, about a family of 26 people living under one roof. Mom, Dad, 4? adult children and their children. So it looks like they, rather than Schmoopy, will follow Counting On next season. 12. Video announcement/congratulations from Jessa, complete with wt. & length, of Jill's new baby. 13. I Am Jazz (2) 14. Kind Nutrition? Bars (I've found these in the grocery store and they are good & affordable, so nah, nah Bella Bars). 15. The Emoji Movie 16. Car Max 17. Command Hooks 18. Spectrum 19. Hoover 20. Hair Goddess (2) 21. The Spouse House (2) 22. 90 Day Fiancee (2) *These last 2 commercials were very short and at first I thought they combined them.
*3rd round of commercials
23. Counting On Season Finale 24. Kate + 8 25. Outdaughtered (2) 26. Haribo Gold Bears (2) 27. Bexsero--Meningitis B Vaccine 28. Milklife.com 29. Humira 30. Counting On Season Finale (2)
And we're done!! Up next Kate + 8. Another quick promo for next week's Counting On season finale. Guess who they show walking into the room!! JimBoob and Babykins, each carrying one of Jessa's babies.

I agree. It was a bait and switch. And she's too dumb to realize that bait and switch people enough and you've lost their good will and good graces.
She's just ....so....amateur. Social media 101 is to be on your best behavior with your fans. If you're going to do something do it, and if you have to back out, you let them know as soon as possible and offer sincere apologies and promises to make it up. Then you FOLLOW THROUGH.
She plays with fire with her own fans, and I believe she has lost many over the years over such similar behavior.
Like I said in an earlier post, why couldn't they watch the episode on TLCgo. They live stream episodes. In fact, right now they're streaming the repeat of the 10pm show.
I'm they brought at least one Ipad or perhaps a lap top with them. And TLCgo has a special sign-in for Discovery employees and guests, and I would think Kate would have one of those special sign-ins.
So I definitely do not buy the excuse that she didn't tweet because they weren't able to get TLC.
It's been mentioned within the past few days that she hasn't had any TV interviews or much press touting her new (ahem) 'season'. I wonder if tonight's no-show at her own party was her way of getting the attention she craves and hopes this will create a buzz in the entertainment industry.
The way she has handled or mishandled this no-show is just so strange, it makes me think she was working with her own twisted motive in mind. It's bound to get a lot of notice.
Speaking of assholes, I cannot believe how fast and loose TLC plays with it's advertisers. I'm not a business major, but wouldn't an advertiser want their commercial shown maybe twice on a popular program and not some show devoted to a narcissistic whiny ass?
I will place a number behind any commercial shown more than once. *Watch what happens with Conair and Schick.

Anonymous said... 94 It's been mentioned within the past few days that she hasn't had any TV interviews or much press touting her new (ahem) 'season'. I wonder if tonight's no-show at her own party was her way of getting the attention she craves and hopes this will create a buzz in the entertainment industry.
The way she has handled or mishandled this no-show is just so strange, it makes me think she was working with her own twisted motive in mind. It's bound to get a lot of notice. **************************** I think it was a combination of TLC's announcement and the professional approach to the interview/trivia game on Counting On which preceded her show.
Her antics have a few of the sheeple going, but I think it will only get a laugh and another black mark against her in the entertainment industry.
She should have known before now if they didn't get the TLC channnel and should not have promised the tweet party. Lame.
&&&&
She should have turned the T.V. on close to 10pm, and she would have realized right then there was no TLC, and logically would have tweeted right then oops, we don't have TLC. But why not say oops we don't have TLC but I can still take your questions about the trip, because well, hell, I was actually THERE. Lol.
And, she has two excuses that don't seem consistent. One is that they got too caught up in playing, the other is that they don't have TLC. So which is it, you were too caught up playing, or you turned the TV on and there was no TLC? Because both excuses don't really work together.
And where is her tweet to Time Warner or whatever, hey we're staying down here in N.C. and there's no TLC! What gives?!
The diabolic part is that she never.intended.to.tweet. This is where I really think this woman is a sociopath. Not all sociopaths are serial killers.
If she was somehow contractually obligated to tweet, wouldn't it be great to see an announcement from TLC similar to the one made by the Coupon Cabin CEO?
Ah we can only dream about something like Scott's dear John letter happening again. The comments on this posts are so funny, YOUR comments! It was fun to scroll through some of them, 2012 feels like yesterday:
It was also a golden opportunity for her to plug TLCgo. On the go without cable, away from your usual favorite channels listings and can't find TLC anywhere? Check out tlcgo.com for live feeds and full episodes. Perfect for busy families this summer.
It's just so simple. So simple.
Come on, TLC, polish off a real Dear John letter. Your first one was way too kind.

It's just so simple. So simple. ^^^^ Kate's never been a company gal. Just as Scot from Coupon Cabin. TLC should fire off a similar letter.

It's just so simple. So simple. **** Ah! Reading from the bottom up. Yes! Scott from CC came to mind. This Twitter Party FAIL was on par with her CC performance.
The funny thing is that you know, as sure as water is wet, that Milo and the merry (every shrinking) band of hold outs will make a plethora of #excuses.

Lol. ***** Easily could have winged it by telling people that she's going to take their questions and cues and respond. No excuse.
Have none of her lickspittles heard Maya Angelou say, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them"?
Kate GosselinVerified account @Kateplusmy8 9h9 hours ago More Replying to @Mydmaxx @TLC So sorry I missed you guys! That's a first and surely a last! Reading all your tweets now ...wishing I was here to tweet you! #Oops ^^^ "Oops"?
She has no shame or sense of responsibility and commitment. Many comments were about Collin.
The jig is up, TLC. People are actually "getting it". Colin is not coming back and a son is growing up without his mother and father and brothers and sisters. It doesn't get much sadder and tragic than that.
The diabolic part is that she never.intended.to.tweet. This is where I really think this woman is a sociopath. ****** I also believe Kate knew Colin was sent away with a one-way ticket. I think fans are getting an inkling right about know. Welcome to real reality, folks!
Susan1956 said... 95 Speaking of assholes, I cannot believe how fast and loose TLC plays with it's advertisers. I'm not a business major, but wouldn't an advertiser want their commercial shown maybe twice on a popular program and not some show devoted to a narcissistic whiny ass? **** This is really interesting. I'd be insisting that TLC take a meeting with me and quick.
FlimsyFlamsy said... 93 When I was a kid, we'd call someone like TFW a "flat leaver." Just bailing on people on a whim and leaving them flat. **** "Abandon"
NJGal51 said... 91 I wonder if any of the fans find it funny that TFW finally showed up right after the show was over. ***** I seriously think Kate just loves f*cking with people. Sorry for the F-bomb, but that's what she does time and time again.
There's a profound lack of conscience here and I think Kate has had numerous victims suffer because of her mental disorder(s).
The body of evidence after 10 years in the public eye is too great to ignore or excuse away.
Can't you download any cable provider you have and get all your channels and watch tv on your iPhone...if I can do it she can...not buying her excuses at all....she was on a free vaca and didn't want to deal with those idiot fans of hers ...I agree she had no intention of tweeting because if she was so concerned she would have made it her business to find out she didn't have that channel as soon as she got there...this is her livelihood isn't it??
Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like she doesn't care anymore...also tell people before the show so they're all not waiting for you all night...she is truly heartless
She's just ....so....amateur. Social media 101 is to be on your best behavior with your fans. ***** I think Kate enjoys giving her fans whiplash. She shows her fans zero respect and from the looks of things, vis a vis, the very poor turnout on her ghosted Twitter party, people are done with her.
Those twins have learned at the feet of their bitchy, entitled, self centered mother. They are been given endless opportunities most people can never afford, and all they do is bitch about how they don't want to do it. The plug cannot be pulled fast enough. Although sadly I think the mold has already formed. So sad really
gain, I don't have a problem if she would like to spend time with her children instead of tweet, great. But, don't say you will host a chat and then just not show up. How is that okay? She's really unbelievable. **** I have more respect for a 7-year old who says their dog at their homework.
Sue said... 86 Her no show tonight makes me believe even more that she's not filming on this vacation. Had she been filming she damn sure would have been at that tweet party. **** You have to wonder if at some point or points, TLC has had it with Kate treating her fans like shit, and lying to them over and over again. This hurts her brand, and by extension, TLC's brand.
You can't keep on doing that to the people who pay you!
I didn't read comments first but I see that I repeated what you all have said...I guess she was that obvious. Everyone has the same observation....who does she think she's fooling?
I keep waiting for karma to catch up to her...although I think it has in forms we don't know about....or do know (Collin)....but honestly she can't feel regret for something she doesn't even acknowledge
Something like this might make you have a little more compassion for Jon. He still has this mental illness to contend with on the regular. I imagine many times she's just reneged on plans he may have made with the kids, just to deprive him (and them) of the pleasure. It's about power and control -- her weapons of choice.
I wonder if the bright and shiny Busbys have gotten under TFW's skin and she's trying to send an eff you to TLC. And who knows -- the yay be waiting for just such an opportunity to cut her loose.
What gets me is no lifejackets. I don't want anything to happen, BUT...bad things do. And she can't blame Jon for not providing lifejackets. Even if they pitched a fit and refused to wear them, she should of told them that if they don't wear one, they can't go out on the lake.
This is all on her.
It will be HER FAULT for once.
xxxxxNo life vests on anyone...very dangerous! Even the best swimmers can get into trouble and drown. You really don't take care of your money makers, do you! 1 down 5 to go. Who's next to get rid of?
This is an insane response to the one above:
xxxxxYou are a pathetic little bully. You even have an account just for trolling 😂😂. Only people who suck at being a parent themselves, take time to bully people online.
This one is insane:
xxxxxPeople chill out, I doubt the water is deep! Do you really think that someone who struggled to have children would risk their safety. Think before you judge!
xxxxxWHY would you or anyone filming this let the kids go out with out lifejackets?????
Remember, TFW wants to catch a fish out in the ocean
xxxxx@kateplusmy8 is collin with you this time or is he left out again?
xxxxxNext holiday go to Scotland! @kateplusmy8 😋
xxxxxIs it a real vacation for the kids or filming? Did you bring Collin too? Remember him?
And omg! The dramatics and crying while standing on skis is over the top ridiculous. This woman is destined to be abandoned by her children and shunned by all men. Harpy on steroids. So damn annoying. You just want to hit her
Raise your hand if you can picture her sitting with her sons at 10pm playing cards. Much more likely she was playing with Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan... ***** And Jose Cuervo ;-)
Tizzie said... 84 For those not watching, there's a recap here: http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2017/kate-plus-8-recap-71717-season-5-episode-10-kate-goes-skiing-sort-of/
^^^^^^^ Sheesh, "anniemarie" "HAD" best pick another career besides writing, because she had sucks at it.
It's been mentioned within the past few days that she hasn't had any TV interviews or much press touting her new (ahem) 'season'. I wonder if tonight's no-show at her own party was her way of getting the attention she craves and hopes this will create a buzz in the entertainment industry. ========= With less than 30 people attending the twitter party I doubt that this will even be a blip on the radar of any entertainment news program. If it does happen to make the news I can't see the comments being anything but negative. I think she may have gone on vacation because she didn't have any press junkets planned and this will give her an excuse as to why if questioned.
I really don't follow much of Kate anymore but I do enjoy reading all the comments after a show. I guess I missed any announcement about the show that TLC made. Can someone update me please. Thanks.
JR said... 109 Can't you download any cable provider you have and get all your channels and watch tv on your iPhone...if I can do it she can...not buying her excuses at all... ***** I do. Companies pretty much have to offer access on all platforms these days. Kate has no excuse and she'll just go on like she farts rose petals.
xxxxxBy the way...you house has lost at least $350, 000 in value. Time to cash out some of those bonds Steve's been "looking after" for you.
xxxxxI bet you ruined this skiing adventure and turned in into all about Kate. pandapandaOnly Kate could ruin Killington.
xxxxx@kateplusmy8 where is collin during these episodes? carleneigras1Oh @kateplusmy8! Come out, come out wherever you are! #MIA on Twitter tonight.
xxxxxOh no Kate, they didn't ALL do it. Not Collin.
xxxxxHow can you go on vacation and exclude your son Collin? Really? Wherever he is, it couldn't possibly be better than spending a little time with his brothers and sisters. I can imagine what he must feel like when he watches this episode.
xxxxxWhy do you freak about everything. You ride horses. They can be very dangerous no matter how well trained. Just an act to get all the attention away from the kids.
xxxxxYou invite people to a 'tweet party' so they can "#AskMeAnyQuestionsWhileWatching" and you don't skow up!! How rude of you!! As it happened only 6 die-hard fans did show up and the rest of the 6 -8 were drive bys. You probably saw how empty your Twitter feed was and bailed as a host. Or you got smashed again and lying drunk as a skunk on the floor...again! Remember when Mady and Cara hard to pick you up that time you got drunk & fell downstairs? LOLOLOL glass everywhere they cleaned up too. Go awn Kate, open another bottle.
xxxxxBy the way...you house has lost at least $350, 000 in value. Time to cash out some of those bonds Steve's been "looking after" for you.
xxxxxI know Collin is in some boarding school but they also have spring break at the same time... I know he's there to get better, but that he must feel even worse missing all these fun times and his OWN two birthday parties these last years. It'll own make him feel worse. Whatever special needs he has, discluding him from family vacations isn't very fair. If it's to keep him from being on TV, he can still join and just not record him.
xxxxxKate doesn't want Collin home. Doesn't matter if he wants to go home or not, she won't allow him. He was very brave and told autorties about Kate severely busing him. He told teachers and anyone who would listen. His sisters otld teachers Kate was beating him and they ereafraid for his life. Because he told, she won't let him come home and maybe he doesn't want to go live with a mother who hates him and beats him every single day. Plenty of 'helpers' and sitter have seen her do that and reported it. Don't know why she isn't in jail.
Most of the speculation here about the future of K8's Krapfest is based on this fairly obscure article that doesn't seem to have been picked up by any other outlets:
Wendy Douglas is a producer at TLC, has not apparently worked on K+8, so why she was chosen to make these comments is also unclear.
There is also a recent ET segment (I don't have the link to that one) where the hosts are talking about the show coming back for a very limited run and they mention how the show was actually cancelled last September. (Oddly, last September People ran a story about the show being cancelled again; the headline is still there, but the text of the article is from 2011.)
Something smells about the whole situation, frankly. No idea why TLC and everyone else needs to be so cagey about it.
JR said... 116 I keep waiting for karma to catch up to her...although I think it has in forms we don't know about....or do know (Collin)....but honestly she can't feel regret for something she doesn't even acknowledge ***** For all Kate's fame and free stuff and millions and compound and TLC-sponsored trips, I would not want to be Kate Gosselin for all the tea in China.
I wonder if this is like when TFW hid in the broom closet at the poorly-attended book signing -- maybe she saw the lackluster response to her tweet party and just bailed?
As a former fan, I think the scales fell from my eyes when they moved to the new house. Instead of helping her 8 still-very-young kids get acclimated in their new environment, TFW cleaned a fridge for 4 hours. Then yelled for one of the twins to wipe her brother's behind while she continued her busy work. "Mine all mine, as far as the eye can see." I finally got her number.
Kylie (123) The VP at TLC announced last week that they would like to check in with limited runs with Kate and the kids in the future, but they don't have any announcements right now. Sounds a lot like the cancellation announcement back in 2011. In that one, they said that they were not renewing K+8 for the next season, but hoped to check in with Kate and kids for specials in the future (I went back and checked--they never said the word "cancelled" in that announcement". If you go back to the last thread, the recent statement is printed in its entirety. Especially coming right at the beginning of this "season", which everyone is questioning (a "season" with only 3 episodes???), it sounds like they aren't planning to film, at least for awhile.
This failure to show up for the tweet party--after she just said, a few hours before, that she would participate--is incredibly passive-aggressive. Then popping up 20 minutes after the episode with a lame excuse? Yep, she's trying to irritate someone. No doubt she's trying to get to TLC. Maybe she's hoping that her fans would flood TLC's twitter feed with inquiries about her, showing them how popular she is. Or maybe simply thumbing her nose. Either way, It was childish and nasty, and of course TLC noticed. They retweeted some of the fan tweets, so someone there was keeping an eye on her feed. They know.
Admin (99), The sheeple were SO angry about that Coupon Cabin letter! They couldn't understand why he just didn't let Kate finish out her year and leave quietly instead of a public firing. But then when her second blogging job was quietly cut short, they were able to make all kinds of excuses about her leaving. That's why Scott at CC put that letter out there. So there was no question about what happened and why. No opportunity for fake excuses from anyone. She sucked and she was fired.
I think this recent announcement from TLC was carefully worded to avoid any ugliness from her fans. Remember last time, fans were tweeting that "TLC ruined my life", etc. They don't want to deal with any of it, and they don't want to have to film a "goodbye" episode. Just tell them there's nothing to announce, dangle the carrot of possible future filming to keep everyone on their best behavior, and fade away. Nothing to see here, folks!
havent seen the ski episode yet, perks of not having cable and will nwver get it. i just wait till someone uploads it some place.
the lake picture looks familiar my uncle has a beach house near a lake like that. i will have to see from my photos if that hoise in the back ground is there. probably not. but i bet its someone beach house from tlc c.o. i remember her mentioning when the puppies were pups this is a rental or sort and we have to make sure the pups dont make a mess plus didnt they drive. Its only a 7 hr at the most.
i have to laugh someone under her instagram photo said something about her being mia during the episode she was supposed to be twittering through. guess someone got ahold of the wine box to early.
poor little kate her empire is crumbling maybe she should call her old boss donald for some help. they both are alike in many ways than another.

Did it finally dawn on her that they mean it or did TLC reject her ideas for future epiodes--you know she tried to get a summer vacation episode out of them--and sat her down saying no, means no Kate?
Loved how she rolled her eyes and had that "I smell a fart" face she wears whenever she has to spend time with her kids (charades). She was shoving that pizza in her giant maw and washing it down with that big ole glass of wine. Yeah she loves being a mother. Lol
Emily Creighton @EmCr68 @Kateplusmy8 totally just read an article that Patrick Dempsey is moving to PA!!! If I can't marry him, you atleast have to!!! 😂😉
I fast-forwarded through the ski episode On Demand: It was really boring. I hated Kate's histrionics, the way the twins talk about everything and everyone as if it's all beneath them, how Alexis again got a makeshift bed turfed out of Cara & M's room, no one wanted Alexis on their charade team, the boys saying the family fights all the time and Hannah said they hate one another, Kate being tired..on vacation. Such entertainment...gah.
I finally watched last week's episode yesterday, and caught the monstrosity last night. While Admin's recap was highly entertaining, I just could not believe the amount of whining and tantrum throwing by the queen herself. How embarrassing!
And her stating at the end of last night's episode, that this was her most favourite memory ever of her kids? Ouch, Collin.
@SandieBellz: @Kateplusmy8 Life is way too short. You need to learn how to enjoy it. #calmdown ======== Isn't Sandie a fan? Maybe she's starting to see the light like Barb.

The timing of it seems to fit. I don't think they have any unused footage left out there after this 3 episode run. It's about to rap, and Kate the producer probably had a lot of summer fun episode ideas that involved free trips she was peddling on TLC. TLC declined, and sent a nicely worded Dear John letter to the public to save face and slip away without fanfare. As a consolation prize, Kate got to stay in somebody's air b and B during the off season because after all she is TLC "family" Cough.
She sent an F-you back by refusing to tweet during the episode as promised, which is childish but classic Kate.
I do. Companies pretty much have to offer access on all platforms these days. Kate has no excuse and she'll just go on like she farts rose petals.
&&&
Most do. A couple will block you when you leave the zip code like mine does, which is annoying. I can watch it on my ipad at starbucks nearby, but not at starbucks ten miles away. But, there is a work around. I can still go directly to the network themselves and stream what is available, still signing in to access it through my cable provider. In other words, TLCgo should have worked for almost everyone.
Susan 1956 (136) I wonder--if they told her in September that they weren't going to renew, but had already contracted for another season, she must have assumed that the season would be 8 episodes. Then they cut it down to 3 and she didn't get her usual filmed vacations this summer. That would have ticked her off. Maybe this vacation was already booked and paid for, but she assumed she'd also get a big paycheck for going, and then she had to go without the paycheck. Could have been her resentment coming to the surface. Of course she can't attack outright because she wants TLC to film at some point in the future, so she chose the passive-aggressive route. Very typical of her. Imagine having to go on a free vacation with your kids and not be able to collect a $40K paycheck for it! Wouldn't you be furious too?
Just looked at the recent pictures. A few people gawking maybe, but I didn't notice any rioting on the patio. Wasn't that her excuse a while back for not doing things as a family 'there would be rioting'.
in that twitter picture is she giving one of the tuttles shit like steve had to do? give me that camera now? sorry guy if khate is giving you hell she is whom she is ms entitled waste of air space
i have to laugh she always says so tired? even when she had tlc eating out of her paw. she never said crap when she was on that beach bod marathon running mom. what is it? is it secret code stating i will take my box of wine now please top it off with some downers
In the pictures that girl posted, it looks like another blonde woman is with Kate (the one in the yellow swimsuit. Jamie maybe? In the first picture it looks like Kate has her mouth wide open, probably having a b!tch-fest.
Is that Jamie with her back to the camera. Kate needs her chin & jawline skin tightened. She has to be pissed being in such proximity to the mediocre/not having that space cleared for them.
bm (#149), yes, TFW was positive there'd be pandemonium if her super-famous brood, accompanied by her super-famous self, ever mingled with the mediocre public. Boy, she must miss those days.
"Douglas has launched and manages shows including Long Island Medium and 19 Kids & Counting and will now oversee production of series including the specials of parenting show Jon & Kate Plus 8."
So since she works in East Coast Productions, I would think she would definitely know what's going on with Kate plus 8.
OMG, are you sure that's him in his trademark cobalt shirt? Too funny. "Family vacation," suuuure! Is that code for he's not traveling with you on a per diem?
nick_moy@7mspfw1 You sure have an active imagination and you should be careful of those new synthetic drugs out there.. do you see the world in color or black and white... You are just a piece of toilet paper. And we all know what your final destination in life will be...
johnpaulbachmann Nick, Nick, Nick .. pray don't give yourself away so easily .. by "we all" you're referring to yourself and the rest of the bottom feeders who rush to the aid of a woman who has a documented history of child abuse and earns her living off the backs of her children. Praise the Lord you and your gang are in the minority. #SufferLittleChildren
Good eye I didn't see Steve, but looked again and saw his arm---aww wearing blue just like Kate--in the first picture, but can't see him at all in the 3rd. I hope if she's trying to get someone to delete a photo, they tell her to stuff it.
Did anyone see Skevie in last night's episode? I looked, but kudos to TLC if he was there, but not in any of the shots.
But I don't think she's worked directly on K8's show. I saw on her social media that she lists other TLC shows (as though she actually has had contact with them), but not K8's.

I swear, I had more energy on a recent OBX vacay when I had bronchitis and a really horrible head cold than Kate did in Killington. The woman doesn't know the meaning of RALLY!
i also saw that this trip we got a spa time. by the way theboys took it i thought they must say hey lets just stfu do it get it over with and be done. even thou boys around thatnagenwould be like mom thats girl crap im not doing sissy crap. but oh we know khate wouldnt have it any way specially no babysitters nannys john steve jamie to name a few to just keep the boys busy. because the all mighty bitch has to have a spa time every month orntrip. since a snake molts so does khate. ( in all serious she really really looks older than she is) jamie looks so much healthy more sofen than kate.
here is something i will tell you. my children keep on watching this youtube children called skylander kids you can look it up. one of the kids is evan he has his own channel to. my children see how evan and his sister get the newest toys money perks like trips kids want even disney and nick. they bother me at times asking desperatly for a youtube channel to make videos get hits and start gaining following. ive told them over and over again its not your responsibility to start promoting yourself as "children" to gain all these perks. its the adult job to provide for the child mentally physically clothed feed and sheltered. i said skylander parents are cash cows throwing there kids to the wolves so they can live the high life. they have a huge brand new big house revunue in million and much more. i said they are sick. seriously i wont even post pictures or videos for the past 3 years of my kids many because you never know what big brother is looking for or what peverts

Kate is a twit said... 164 Ratings are in. Both Kate plus 8 and Counting On lost viewers from last week.
Kate plus 8
781,000 viewers .22 share ********************** Oh my gosh.
For the blog historians, what's been the lowest numbers for the show?
I was googling TLC last night and came across an announcement that they have 7 new shows in the works for the 2017-2018 season and Whitley--never watched, could barely tolerate the commercials--of My Big Fat Fabulous Life has not been renewed yet. At first glance, this new show, Meet the Putnams, could be a contender to replace even the offspring of JimBoob and Babykins. Big extended family--check--lots of kids--check--big house (already built)--check & check. I'm sure religion plays a part in the story, but one of the SIL's is a physician so I doubt there would be any home births.
TV, even reality TV programming is always changing and JimBoob & TFMJG would do well to accept this.

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 20h20 hours ago @Kateplusmy8 So we missed you! Can't imagine what could possibly occupy your time rather than being here! :) #8Kids #MomProblems #NextWk
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 20h20 hours ago @Kateplusmy8 Honestly..I hate that you get so uptight w/such fun things. Maybe a few glasses of wine before you try next time! LOL #Relax
But, Ms. Kravitz, you and Kate communicate in so many private ways. Are you admitting that she didn't tell you where she is or what she is doing? How can that be? Oh my, oh my...
Yes, and there comes a time when it's mandatory to hide the bunny and if something happens, you have nobody to blame but yourself. **************************** And there also comes a time when the majority of the American public doesn't care anymore.
Blowing (#175), and poor Gladys still hasn't gotten the memo that supermom TFW only has 7 kids to take care of. And, no, she's not raising #8Teens. It's 7. Yes, it's much more victim-ish to pretend it's 8, but it's SEVEN.
Even allowing for people away on vacations and/or being busy with family/summer middle of July activities, that figure of 781,000 represents 416,000 people tuned out after the Duggar show. It's also 137,000 fewer than last week. Good news for people who care about the Gosselin children and the way they have been exploited by TLC with the full approval of their mother; not good news for TFW.
Khate's little stunt last night may have far reaching, permanent, consequences on her bottom line.
I'm not a fan of TLC, but it seems they were willing to revisit the Gosselins periodically at the time of their announcement last fall. Yes, they did the Haunted Barn and the upcoming sextuplet birthday (both filmed on the compound) episodes on the cheap, but so far they hadn't shown Kate behaving really badly as she did on the R V trip. So her failure to show up for her tweet party last night, whether it was a contractual obligation or not, may be the final straw for TLC.
Coupon Cabin must have repeatedly tried to work with her and her final f*** you to them may have been just barely obnoxious by Kate standards, but it was enough to make Scott realize the business relationship would never work.
yup saw good old steve, wonder if its his family and kates. plus why Kansas mo ? is the last tlc special that will npt air till end of 2017? looks like collin is missing out. even thou my heartbreaks he misses out on these trips or activitys but on the other hand is he really? i think i rather be some place safe getting the attention and needs that i needed more than having someone contently screeching pointing the finger throwing tantrums hating every moment oh and complaining. no way these kids have any fun on any of these trips.
it kind reminds me of that plane trip were one of the 6 was throwing a fit on the plane than khate had to make it more dramatic throwing her own melodramatics in. How did john keep up with her that long?
For the blog historians, what's been the lowest numbers for the show? _____
I think she hit the lowest last season, what was it, 560K for the Space Camp episode? The lowest prior to that may have been in her 2011 season, shortly before cancellation. I recall something in the mid-600K range a couple of times there.
I wouldn't be surprised to see better ratings next week, IF it is well advertised that it is the tups' b'day episode. Let's see if K8 herself---and TLC---actually does some work to promote it. Seeing as it may be the last for a while.
Susan1956 (180) From the sound of it, TLC is showing the "real Kate", just like in the RV episodes. All the tantrums and meltdowns and ugliness, ruining what should be fun activities--the gloves are off. Didn't she declare herself to be a new, improved, mellower Kate when the show came back? And now they are showing everyone that her claim to have mellowed was a complete lie. She hasn't changed at all, and she never will. I don't think she's capable of change. She thinks her dramatics are what makes good TV, but all she's doing is ruining her show and scarring her kids for life (and setting a terrible example for the kids to follow). They never see to just have a pleasant time, they never get to just enjoy things. And I noticed from FB comments that even fans can't understand why she doesn't just let the kids enjoy activities rather than butting in and making it all about her. No way should she have gone to space camp, for example, That should have been just for the kids. But she just can't let the cameras roll without her in the frame. She is that narcissistic. Her claim that she doesn't win, it seems, applies to camera time and attention. She feels like she needs to compete with her own children--and defeat them--for all the attention. That's what two-year-olds do . Parents know when to take a backseat and let the kids shine. She just can't let that happen.
I wonder what the execs at TLC are thinking right now. First Kate bailed on her own tweet party last night after telling her fans she'd be there, and then the poor ratings for last night's episode. K+8 hasn't broken a million viewers for any episode for the last 18 months. They must be breathing a sight of relief to be rid of her, at least for awhile (I do think they will do some catch-up filming in the future).
I saw on the TLC Facebook page that they are starting a new mega-family show in the fall. I guess trying to recapture the audience of the original Duggar show. They are moving forward, and none of their shows is centered around a shrieking banshee of a mother. If they had any hesitation about cutting Kate loose, they should be feeling certain about it by now.
Blowing (#175), and poor Gladys still hasn't gotten the memo that supermom TFW only has 7 kids to take care of. And, no, she's not raising #8Teens. It's 7. Yes, it's much more victim-ish to pretend it's 8, but it's SEVEN.
------------
She has eyes for Kate and Kate alone. There could be only one kid on the show and Gladys would never notice and wouldn't care.
Someone on FB really has Kate's number. "Fans" have a better memory than Kate. How stupid can one woman be? XXXXX She should go back to grammar school. "Never visited NE before"? Really. Is she really that stupid or just self centered that nothing around her matters. Remember when she used to claim she was a "marathon runner". Never mind her cheating/lying/riding her way through the Las Vegas Marathon. She participated in a "run" in Connecticut where she met her "old family member friend" Emily. Visit #1 to NE: Kate and kids to run in Rod Dixon's Kid's Marathon in Connecticut June 2012. Visit #2 Mass. and Maine. August 2014. This is where she hires "old family friend Emily" to help w/ the overdosed, medicated kids. http://radaronline.com/.../kate-gosselin-steve-neild.../ (Guess Steve the "body guard" isn't good at handing out drugs. Special friend "Emily" did a little too much communicating via direct messages w/ a Kate "friend" and Kate hasn't spoken to her since. Told too much of how the kids, C and A were medicated. Low and behold, the woman who has never before been to any New England states "takes" the kids to Vermont. Of course not one of the trips would have ever happened if Kate wasn't paid to be there, all expenses paid courtesy TLC, along w/ Kate getting a little pay check. Is she really this stupid? She is just like Trump, his followers will believe anything.

I think she saw F.O.M.O. in the tweet and thought M.O. was Missouri.
Over And Out (previous post) your "Close To You" reference reminded me of a Carpenters documentary I just watched. Most of us of a certain age remember that Karen suffered from anorexia, and died at 32. But this show delved into the roots of Karen's eating disorder, according to the friends interviewed: an impossible-to-please mother who thought the sun rose and set on Karen's older brother Richard, but couldn't even tell Karen she loved her.
Hey, TFW, before you joke about skeletons, go to YouTube and find footage of this talented, spirited, lovely young woman who seemed to have it all, but who starved herself to death. Eating disorders aren't funny. And, heads up -- boys can have them, too.
I was shopping today and saw an elderly Old Order Amish woman trying on a pair of black Crocs. It looked so funny with her heavy wool black stockings. She made her purchase and got into the horse and buggy that was waiting outside the store.
I should have invited her to join us under Joy's veranda, but I doubt if she had a colorful muumuu. We do have enough Rumspringa to go around.

Kate's in KC, Missouri? What am I missing?
Did Kate tweet that she's never been to NE or to New England? NE is the abbreviation for Nebraska. Is that what she meant? She once told one of the sheep that she's never been to Nebraska.
Ya know, at this point, K8 should be ready to just 'fess up about Skeve. I mean, he's accompanied them on endless TLC trips, and clearly on non-TLC trips as well (the book tours, LV marathon, CT run event, Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Wife Swap [not confirmed, but does anyone doubt it?]), why not just SAY what's going on? Her kids HAVE to know, and at some point, someone's just gonna blurt it out. If they don't say it now, one of them is certainly going to say it later.
It just seems so juvenile to pretend you DON'T have this constant companion, who looks an awful lot like a consort, and expect everyone around you to act like he's not there. I get it, he's PAID to be under the radar. I guess the question at this point is, is he paid to be under the covers? Anyone who's paid any attention to her and this show over time HAS to be asking this question.

I didn't say Kate's in Missouri. Malevolent did in a post above, and Susan said, "Huh?" So I was explaining why I thought malevolent thought Kate was in Missouri. You'd probably have to see the original tweet that's on Kate's Twitter to get the full gist of it. Not really that important.

Ouch. Lots of negative tweets. Hopefully some sheep had the wool lifted from their eyes.
Xxxxxxxx I just don't believe her story of WHY she sent him away..I also don't agree with her having TWO years of birthday parties without him...because I was so upset at learning he had been away for so long I watched ALL the past episodes in the order they showed on tv..you can see the progression of him withdrawing BUT you don't see him ever be rude or unmanageable like his mother or several of the other kids..one episode the boys are talking about plants they planted..one said mines the biggest the other said mines the smallest, Collin sadly says mines the one Madi walked on..another episode they are getting back to school items, Collin is in the back and clearly not part of the shopping..that left me to assume he knew by that point he was getting sent away..even if he DID need help WHY not bring him home for their birthdays..she said this is their best birthday yet, BUT one of her boys was gone?!?

No, TLC allows people to post photos of episodes. The Little People do so all the time.
I think networks understand now that generally, the more social media promo you do, even during filming, the better.
Unless you're Game of Thrones, promotional social media is encouraged.

Well, they were only 8 when she tweeted this (this was her one "I'm poor and alone" vacation, not filmed), but even so, it's all fakery.
I enjoyed time I've spent in North Carolina. I was in Elizabeth City in July....but it's RIDIC hot in July. OFF SEASON for sure. That sounds like something Kate would do, cheap out.
Who wants to watch someone else's kids learn how to ski?

Seriously, I'm never gonna get the appeal, if that is the appeal. I think something is wrong with you if you're watching this for the kids. I think most viewers at this point are watching because they cannot believe Kate. Like a train wreck and you can't look away.
I meant to ask anyone who watched the Halloween episode, how did the boys appear? Either of them showing signs of not cooperating with the usual show b.s. like Cara?
&&&&
Despite their mother, the boys are great. Chill, easy going, good sense of humor. I think filming is not going to affect them much because they are very agreeable, with chip-in, can-do attitudes. They are both Jon's sons. Filming seems to have taken a much bigger toll on Collin and the more emotional girls.
Of note, both boys spend regular time with their father.
Maybe it's a company house used for VIPs when they're in town and a mini vacation is a consolation (or cancellation) prize for TFW getting the bad news about her show.

Admin (#1), of course! That makes perfect sense! Whether it's gaga ball or parenting, TFW's gotta WIN!
I agree it could be a company house and it could also be part of the bribe. Cooperate with filming this year and we'll get a nice summer beach vacay.
Except with Jon they don't have to film, and still get a beach vacay.
The humidity in July in N.C.,.....woo-eee!
"I enjoyed time I've spent in North Carolina. I was in Elizabeth City in July....but it's RIDIC hot in July. OFF SEASON for sure. That sounds like something Kate would do, cheap out."
Yes, it's very hot here and humid. Kate seems to enjoy the heat which gives her an opportunity to flaunt her body. It's actually cooler here now. Last week was in the 100's heat index. It looks that way again toward the end of the week.
A connection to somebody with a vacation home at Figure 8 makes sense. Raleigh and Charlotte are a couple of hours apart.
Yeah, somebody at the company has an air B and B, didn't get any bookings this week because it's flipping horrible in July, and let them stay there.

Obviously, "making memories" isn't doing a whole lot for her. She really is a dimwit. You'd think one of the producers might have mentioned it to her. Not like it was 25 years ago, it was 2014, FFS.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@Kateplusmy8 You got them color coded...who is who all dressed??
She had to color-code her kids? WTF? I guess Milo plans to asks unanswered questions the whole episode. I'm wondering if K8's absence tonight is just a big middle finger to TLC. It's not like she could be expected to handle it gracefully or anything.
Uh oh, still no Kate....TLC is not going to be happy. Only a few diehards tweeting which means the bots probably don't chime in until TFW checks in. Milo's giving a running commentary of the action.
Knowing her she fell asleep
Sad but true (#21), and as usual, the fans have selective amnesia. TFW has left the kids at the drop of a hat many, many times since the divorce, when they were much younger and not remotely self sufficient. The best example of that was when she was in NYC for a MONTH doing Celebrity Apprentice. If she broke her leg tomorrow, she'd at least be home with her kids, and they'd get along just fine. I don't get the dramatics.

I said this about it in the recap: "Kate has discovered, Chris Columbus style, that they have never been to New England before, so that would be a great place to get TLC to pay for a trip to. Hm. But they all went to Connecticut in 2012 to run a race together. Maybe she thinks New England is its own state."

Been there and done that. Now we go the week before Christmas. A room at the Paris is $49 a night and the weather is mild.
She promised she would answer questions and she's gone mute on both Instagram and twitter. Lol, dolt. A lot of comments are negative, asking where Collin is and telling her she ruined the vacation.
Also, the photo she posted on instagram is so ridiculously far away, you can't even tell who anyone is.

Even if she couldn't live tweet the entire show, she should have at least showed up on twitter and said something about not being able to live tweet. She could have said "Sorry, guys, won't be live tweeting. After a day of sun and sand I'm exhausted and going to bed. :("
So she seriously didn't tweet once? Can't wait to hear her excuse. She'll probably say one of the kids suddenly took ill (like their Easter allergy attacks), and only Mommy could make it better. But it would be epic if someone posted a picture of her out frolicking somewhere.
But does anyone care enough to take her picture anymore?
She could have said "Sorry, guys, won't be live tweeting. After a day of sun and sand I'm exhausted and going to bed. :("

Yep, that's our Kate. Rude.
It's like you got inited to lunch, knocked on the door and no one is home. Wtf.
Have the courtesy to call off your guests for gosh sakes. It's not okay just because it's just the internet. Can't wait to hear her excuse this time why she's such an a-hole.
At the end when she was saying that she was proud of her kids because they did such a great job skiing down the mountain.
There were only 7 kids that skied down.
She said that she was proud of the kids.
What about Collin? Is she not proud of him?
The adults that were trying to help her to me seemed like they were thinking that she was faking being scared.
Some posts on her IG aren't too nice either:
mama_reber@kateplusmy8 you are SOOOO DAMN WHINEY!!!

sheeby86@kateplusmy8 way to dramatic for my liking....super embarrassing to watch a grown woman throw hissy fits and whine and cry over every little thing and make everything to be about you and trying to make everyone and everything "perfect"....newsflash, at your age you should know by now there is no such thing. I do enjoy watching the kids grow though, perhaps make like the Duggars and have a show just on the kids with very small cameos by yourself......
Maybe she's pouting about TLC's recent announcement, and in her passive-aggressive way is hitting back by refusing to tweet. I'm sure TLC's not happy with this little stunt. She'll come back tomorrow with some lame excuse to smooth things over, but no matter what, she dropped the ball.

OMG, I LOVE this! You should suggest it to TLC for a future episode. Oh wait . . . :-)))
A lot of comments seem to finally be catching on that Kate makes things all about her.
Yes people, welcome Captain Obvious.
I don't think even some sheeple are buying her freak outs anymore....
Gladys, yes, rather than dealing with her fears as an adult, it would be wonderful for TFW to teach her kids that alcohol helps you relax. She can add that to "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I smell another book deal!
Here's her lame excuse.

If they don't have TLC there, why did she promise a tweet party in the first place? You would think she would've checked whether they could watch the show first.
By the way, doesn't TLCgo have live streaming? If so, that makes it even a lamer excuse.
People on IG are beginning to get the idea, too.

brighid.mcneilwhy didn't you invite collin on vacation
kitty62862 Momma Bear, maybe it might be good to talk to a pro about your fearfulness. Your kids are big enough to share safe adventures with you as you say goodbye to fear. Being concerned for safety is admirable, but you need to cut loose a little. At this stage, your kids will appreciate being a part of Mom growing past her fears. I have to congratulate you on not imparting the fears to your children. This was the first time I've actually watched your show. You have 8 teenagers. The thought of that both scares me silly, and makes me respect you enormously. I had one child, she's 24 now. I don't know how you do it, but you do. You clearly love your children. You're headed for the most difficult phase with your younger ones, and you have 6 going through it at the same time. YIKES!!! I wish you the very best. Wish I'd had a Mom like you.
brighid.mcneil that's kinda rude that you didn't even invite your own son on vacation
brighid.mcneil do you visit him
I thought the comment from the horrible mother was when all of the tups were racing on the tube tires down the mountain she said, Goodbye kids, HAVE A NICE LIFE!
I wonder if that is what she told Collin when he was taken away.
When she rode the tube tire down the mountain, she EASILY jumps and stands up and says really hateful, GOODBYE!
And stomps off back up.
She couldn't barely stand when she was on the skis.
Could you imagine being her physical therapist in rehab if she had to try to walk at the double bars?
Not that I want anything to happen to her, but her meanness and attitude is off the charts.
Maybe she'll say she just passed out after a crazy busy day, with another picture of "Slepping Beauty" taken by M.
Omg guys!We are on vacation&took a long swim&played card games as a family&since we don't have @tlc here we MISSED YOU!😥 #KatePlus8 #SoSorry

Um, huh??? Why didn't she pop in BEFORE everybody sat around waiting for her--to say OOPS looks like I'm not gonna tweet tonight sorry.
Besides what does having TLC have to do with anything? Shouldn't she know what people are asking about given that she was THERE?
This is where just how rude and uncaring she is comes out. She really truly doesn't see anything wrong with what she just did.
What card game can you play with 7 people?
Admin (#78), man, that excuse was weak sauce, even for her.
@Kateplusmy8: @Mydmaxx @TLC So sorry I missed you guys! That's a first and surely a last! Reading all your tweets now ...wishing I was here to tweet you! #Oops

I'm betting that someone at TLC got ahold of her and read her the riot act.

Well, you've only got one more episode to worry about.
It's also lame that she waited 20 minutes after the episode to end before she tweeted anything. Why didn't she tweet at 10pm when she "discovered" that they didn't get TLC?
I don't buy her excuse. I think she just didn't want to be bothered, especially since there's only one more episode left.
IMO, she made that IG post about tweeting just to get people to watch, making an empty promise she had no intentions of keeping. That's probably also the reason she posted the vacation post, so that she'd have a built in excuse for not tweeting.
Is LOM on vacation, too?

Her excuse makes zero sense. She wishes she'd been there to tweet? She was there -- she just didn't do it! TLC being available to her or not had absolutely no bearing on her being able to respond to fan's comments. She lived the ski trip -- it's not like she would have no idea what the fans were talking about.
Raise your hand if you can picture her sitting with her sons at 10pm playing cards. Much more likely she was playing with Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan...
Her no show tonight makes me believe even more that she's not filming on this vacation. Had she been filming she damn sure would have been at that tweet party.

Right, and she's full of it. Even if she is doing the card games and pool time, she would bring her phone with her. That's just what people do these days, ya bring your phone.
Again, I don't have a problem if she would like to spend time with her children instead of tweet, great. But, don't say you will host a chat and then just not show up. How is that okay? She's really unbelievable.
Well, that was 2 hours of non-entertainment. But it was a gold mine as far as psychological studies.
So I’m still working on admin’s theory of Kate + 8 & other TLC shows having to show more commercials because a lot of advertisers refuse to have their ads run during Counting On.
For the purpose of tonight's recount, I am going to count a couple promos and a video baby announcement as commercials and will place a number behind any commercial shown more than once. If Khate watched Counting On, she must be spitting nails. The Duggars got a real studio instead of the basement in their house and an actual host for their trivia game (because this is what this episode and next week’s episode boils down to). The host/interviewer is Daphne Oz (one of the hosts of The Chew) and pregnant with her 3rd child. Present were Jana, Jessa (who talked the most) and Ben, Jinger and Jeremy, Joy-Anna & Austin, Joseph (Kendra is to join the group in next week’s episode—something I found interesting is that Kendra’s father is the Duggar’s pastor and it sounds like ‘church’ is located a fair distance away from the Duggars), John-David, and Josiah (I would say Josiah is the cutest of the older Duggar boys—the other boys look too much like JoshieBoy). There was some minor shade thrown at John-David/rewriting of history/care taken to let the audience know John-David has never been in a relationship.
The program began with a 1 minute intro consisting of scenes from this season of Counting On. I'm not going to recap the show any further, just list commercials.
*1st round of commercials
1. Outdaughtered
2. The Spouse House
3. Taco Bell
4. Haribo Gold Bears
5. Progressive
6. Girl's Trip--Universal Movie
7. Culver's
8. Local law firm--I prefer not to identify local businesses, but I will be giving them a call tomorrow.
9. Princess Diana: Tragedy or Treason
10. I Am Jazz
11. Hair Goddess
*These last 2 commercials were very short and at first I thought they combined them.
*2nd round of commercials
11. 'Sneak Peek'--Meet the Putmans, a new TLC show which will premiere on September 11th, about a family of 26 people living under one roof. Mom, Dad, 4? adult children and their children. So it looks like they, rather than Schmoopy, will follow Counting On next season.
12. Video announcement/congratulations from Jessa, complete with wt. & length, of Jill's new baby.
13. I Am Jazz (2)
14. Kind Nutrition? Bars (I've found these in the grocery store and they are good & affordable, so nah, nah Bella Bars).
15. The Emoji Movie
16. Car Max
17. Command Hooks
18. Spectrum
19. Hoover
20. Hair Goddess (2)
21. The Spouse House (2)
22. 90 Day Fiancee (2)
*These last 2 commercials were very short and at first I thought they combined them.
*3rd round of commercials
23. Counting On Season Finale
24. Kate + 8
25. Outdaughtered (2)
26. Haribo Gold Bears (2)
27. Bexsero--Meningitis B Vaccine
28. Milklife.com
29. Humira
30. Counting On Season Finale (2)
And we're done!! Up next Kate + 8. Another quick promo for next week's Counting On season finale. Guess who they show walking into the room!! JimBoob and Babykins, each carrying one of Jessa's babies.

I agree. It was a bait and switch. And she's too dumb to realize that bait and switch people enough and you've lost their good will and good graces.
She's just ....so....amateur. Social media 101 is to be on your best behavior with your fans. If you're going to do something do it, and if you have to back out, you let them know as soon as possible and offer sincere apologies and promises to make it up. Then you FOLLOW THROUGH.
She plays with fire with her own fans, and I believe she has lost many over the years over such similar behavior.
Like I said in an earlier post, why couldn't they watch the episode on TLCgo. They live stream episodes. In fact, right now they're streaming the repeat of the 10pm show.
I'm they brought at least one Ipad or perhaps a lap top with them. And TLCgo has a special sign-in for Discovery employees and guests, and I would think Kate would have one of those special sign-ins.
So I definitely do not buy the excuse that she didn't tweet because they weren't able to get TLC.
I wonder if any of the fans find it funny that TFW finally showed up right after the show was over.
KIAT (#89), maybe she put all the kids to bed at 9:30 and was off getting some "TLC" with a spa massage.
When I was a kid, we'd call someone like TFW a "flat leaver." Just bailing on people on a whim and leaving them flat.
It's been mentioned within the past few days that she hasn't had any TV interviews or much press touting her new (ahem) 'season'. I wonder if tonight's no-show at her own party was her way of getting the attention she craves and hopes this will create a buzz in the entertainment industry.
The way she has handled or mishandled this no-show is just so strange, it makes me think she was working with her own twisted motive in mind. It's bound to get a lot of notice.

Speaking of assholes, I cannot believe how fast and loose TLC plays with it's advertisers. I'm not a business major, but wouldn't an advertiser want their commercial shown maybe twice on a popular program and not some show devoted to a narcissistic whiny ass?

I think it was a combination of TLC's announcement and the professional approach to the interview/trivia game on Counting On which preceded her show.
Her antics have a few of the sheeple going, but I think it will only get a laugh and another black mark against her in the entertainment industry.
She should have known before now if they didn't get the TLC channnel and should not have promised the tweet party. Lame.
&&&&
She should have turned the T.V. on close to 10pm, and she would have realized right then there was no TLC, and logically would have tweeted right then oops, we don't have TLC. But why not say oops we don't have TLC but I can still take your questions about the trip, because well, hell, I was actually THERE. Lol.
And, she has two excuses that don't seem consistent. One is that they got too caught up in playing, the other is that they don't have TLC. So which is it, you were too caught up playing, or you turned the TV on and there was no TLC? Because both excuses don't really work together.
And where is her tweet to Time Warner or whatever, hey we're staying down here in N.C. and there's no TLC! What gives?!
The diabolic part is that she never.intended.to.tweet. This is where I really think this woman is a sociopath. Not all sociopaths are serial killers.
If she was somehow contractually obligated to tweet, wouldn't it be great to see an announcement from TLC similar to the one made by the Coupon Cabin CEO?
Ah we can only dream about something like Scott's dear John letter happening again. The comments on this posts are so funny, YOUR comments! It was fun to scroll through some of them, 2012 feels like yesterday:

It was also a golden opportunity for her to plug TLCgo. On the go without cable, away from your usual favorite channels listings and can't find TLC anywhere? Check out tlcgo.com for live feeds and full episodes. Perfect for busy families this summer.
It's just so simple. So simple.

Ah! Reading from the bottom up. Yes! Scott from CC came to mind.

Many comments were about Collin.

Colin is not coming back and a son is growing up without his mother and father and brothers and sisters.
It doesn't get much sadder and tragic than that.

Sorry for the F-bomb, but that's what she does time and time again.
There's a profound lack of conscience here and I think Kate has had numerous victims suffer because of her mental disorder(s).
The body of evidence after 10 years in the public eye is too great to ignore or excuse away.
Can't you download any cable provider you have and get all your channels and watch tv on your iPhone...if I can do it she can...not buying her excuses at all....she was on a free vaca and didn't want to deal with those idiot fans of hers ...I agree she had no intention of tweeting because if she was so concerned she would have made it her business to find out she didn't have that channel as soon as she got there...this is her livelihood isn't it??

I think Kate enjoys giving her fans whiplash.
She shows her fans zero respect and from the looks of things, vis a vis, the very poor turnout on her ghosted Twitter party, people are done with her.
Those twins have learned at the feet of their bitchy, entitled, self centered mother. They are been given endless opportunities most people can never afford, and all they do is bitch about how they don't want to do it. The plug cannot be pulled fast enough. Although sadly I think the mold has already formed. So sad really
gain, I don't have a problem if she would like to spend time with her children instead of tweet, great. But, don't say you will host a chat and then just not show up. How is that okay? She's really unbelievable.

You have to wonder if at some point or points, TLC has had it with Kate treating her fans like shit, and lying to them over and over again.
This hurts her brand, and by extension, TLC's brand.
You can't keep on doing that to the people who pay you!
I didn't read comments first but I see that I repeated what you all have said...I guess she was that obvious. Everyone has the same observation....who does she think she's fooling?
I keep waiting for karma to catch up to her...although I think it has in forms we don't know about....or do know (Collin)....but honestly she can't feel regret for something she doesn't even acknowledge
Something like this might make you have a little more compassion for Jon. He still has this mental illness to contend with on the regular. I imagine many times she's just reneged on plans he may have made with the kids, just to deprive him (and them) of the pleasure. It's about power and control -- her weapons of choice.
I wonder if the bright and shiny Busbys have gotten under TFW's skin and she's trying to send an eff you to TLC. And who knows -- the yay be waiting for just such an opportunity to cut her loose.
What gets me is no lifejackets. I don't want anything to happen, BUT...bad things do. And she can't blame Jon for not providing lifejackets. Even if they pitched a fit and refused to wear them, she should of told them that if they don't wear one, they can't go out on the lake.
This is all on her.
It will be HER FAULT for once.
xxxxxNo life vests on anyone...very dangerous! Even the best swimmers can get into trouble and drown. You really don't take care of your money makers, do you! 1 down 5 to go. Who's next to get rid of?

This one is insane:
xxxxxPeople chill out, I doubt the water is deep! Do you really think that someone who struggled to have children would risk their safety. Think before you judge!
xxxxxWHY would you or anyone filming this let the kids go out with out lifejackets?????
Remember, TFW wants to catch a fish out in the ocean
xxxxx@kateplusmy8 is collin with you this time or is he left out again?
xxxxxNext holiday go to Scotland! @kateplusmy8 😋
xxxxxIs it a real vacation for the kids or filming? Did you bring Collin too? Remember him?
xxxxxNext time, go to Scotland!
Hahaha! Too little, too late!
And omg! The dramatics and crying while standing on skis is over the top ridiculous. This woman is destined to be abandoned by her children and shunned by all men. Harpy on steroids. So damn annoying. You just want to hit her

With less than 30 people attending the twitter party I doubt that this will even be a blip on the radar of any entertainment news program. If it does happen to make the news I can't see the comments being anything but negative. I think she may have gone on vacation because she didn't have any press junkets planned and this will give her an excuse as to why if questioned.
I really don't follow much of Kate anymore but I do enjoy reading all the comments after a show. I guess I missed any announcement about the show that TLC made. Can someone update me please. Thanks.

xxxxxOh no Kate, they didn't ALL do it. Not Collin.
xxxxxHow can you go on vacation and exclude your son Collin? Really? Wherever he is, it couldn't possibly be better than spending a little time with his brothers and sisters. I can imagine what he must feel like when he watches this episode.
xxxxxWhy do you freak about everything. You ride horses. They can be very dangerous no matter how well trained. Just an act to get all the attention away from the kids.
xxxxxYou invite people to a 'tweet party' so they can "#AskMeAnyQuestionsWhileWatching" and you don't skow up!! How rude of you!! As it happened only 6 die-hard fans did show up and the rest of the 6 -8 were drive bys. You probably saw how empty your Twitter feed was and bailed as a host. Or you got smashed again and lying drunk as a skunk on the floor...again! Remember when Mady and Cara hard to pick you up that time you got drunk & fell downstairs? LOLOLOL glass everywhere they cleaned up too. Go awn Kate, open another bottle.
xxxxxBy the way...you house has lost at least $350, 000 in value. Time to cash out some of those bonds Steve's been "looking after" for you.
xxxxxI know Collin is in some boarding school but they also have spring break at the same time... I know he's there to get better, but that he must feel even worse missing all these fun times and his OWN two birthday parties these last years. It'll own make him feel worse. Whatever special needs he has, discluding him from family vacations isn't very fair. If it's to keep him from being on TV, he can still join and just not record him.
xxxxxKate doesn't want Collin home. Doesn't matter if he wants to go home or not, she won't allow him. He was very brave and told autorties about Kate severely busing him. He told teachers and anyone who would listen. His sisters otld teachers Kate was beating him and they ereafraid for his life. Because he told, she won't let him come home and maybe he doesn't want to go live with a mother who hates him and beats him every single day. Plenty of 'helpers' and sitter have seen her do that and reported it. Don't know why she isn't in jail.

Most of the speculation here about the future of K8's Krapfest is based on this fairly obscure article that doesn't seem to have been picked up by any other outlets:
http://www.multichannel.com/news/content/tlc-hopeful-more-kate-plus-8/413879
Wendy Douglas is a producer at TLC, has not apparently worked on K+8, so why she was chosen to make these comments is also unclear.
There is also a recent ET segment (I don't have the link to that one) where the hosts are talking about the show coming back for a very limited run and they mention how the show was actually cancelled last September. (Oddly, last September People ran a story about the show being cancelled again; the headline is still there, but the text of the article is from 2011.)
Something smells about the whole situation, frankly. No idea why TLC and everyone else needs to be so cagey about it.

I keep waiting for karma to catch up to her...although I think it has in forms we don't know about....or do know (Collin)....but honestly she can't feel regret for something she doesn't even acknowledge

For all Kate's fame and free stuff and millions and compound and TLC-sponsored trips, I would not want to be Kate Gosselin for all the tea in China.
I wonder if this is like when TFW hid in the broom closet at the poorly-attended book signing -- maybe she saw the lackluster response to her tweet party and just bailed?
Som Contract Honorer.
Some High-Road Taker
I really enjoy reading everybody's comments about last night show.
It got me to thinking at what point in this saga did Kate "jumped the shark". For me it was after she kicked Jon to the curb and became Kate plus 8.
Admin, I really appreciate the recaps you do. I must admit I tried to watch last night. Gave up after 3-4 minutes. It was too painful to watch.
Turtle (#130), nice to see you!
As a former fan, I think the scales fell from my eyes when they moved to the new house. Instead of helping her 8 still-very-young kids get acclimated in their new environment, TFW cleaned a fridge for 4 hours. Then yelled for one of the twins to wipe her brother's behind while she continued her busy work. "Mine all mine, as far as the eye can see." I finally got her number.
Kylie (123)
The VP at TLC announced last week that they would like to check in with limited runs with Kate and the kids in the future, but they don't have any announcements right now. Sounds a lot like the cancellation announcement back in 2011. In that one, they said that they were not renewing K+8 for the next season, but hoped to check in with Kate and kids for specials in the future (I went back and checked--they never said the word "cancelled" in that announcement". If you go back to the last thread, the recent statement is printed in its entirety. Especially coming right at the beginning of this "season", which everyone is questioning (a "season" with only 3 episodes???), it sounds like they aren't planning to film, at least for awhile.
This failure to show up for the tweet party--after she just said, a few hours before, that she would participate--is incredibly passive-aggressive. Then popping up 20 minutes after the episode with a lame excuse? Yep, she's trying to irritate someone. No doubt she's trying to get to TLC. Maybe she's hoping that her fans would flood TLC's twitter feed with inquiries about her, showing them how popular she is. Or maybe simply thumbing her nose. Either way, It was childish and nasty, and of course TLC noticed. They retweeted some of the fan tweets, so someone there was keeping an eye on her feed. They know.
Admin (99),
The sheeple were SO angry about that Coupon Cabin letter! They couldn't understand why he just didn't let Kate finish out her year and leave quietly instead of a public firing. But then when her second blogging job was quietly cut short, they were able to make all kinds of excuses about her leaving. That's why Scott at CC put that letter out there. So there was no question about what happened and why. No opportunity for fake excuses from anyone. She sucked and she was fired.
I think this recent announcement from TLC was carefully worded to avoid any ugliness from her fans. Remember last time, fans were tweeting that "TLC ruined my life", etc. They don't want to deal with any of it, and they don't want to have to film a "goodbye" episode. Just tell them there's nothing to announce, dangle the carrot of possible future filming to keep everyone on their best behavior, and fade away. Nothing to see here, folks!
havent seen the ski episode yet, perks of not having cable and will nwver get it. i just wait till someone uploads it some place.
the lake picture looks familiar my uncle has a beach house near a lake like that. i will have to see from my photos if that hoise in the back ground is there. probably not. but i bet its someone beach house from tlc c.o. i remember her mentioning when the puppies were pups this is a rental or sort and we have to make sure the pups dont make a mess plus didnt they drive. Its only a 7 hr at the most.
i have to laugh someone under her instagram photo said something about her being mia during the episode she was supposed to be twittering through. guess someone got ahold of the wine box to early.
poor little kate her empire is crumbling maybe she should call her old boss donald for some help. they both are alike in many ways than another.

I think you're right. But what I don't understand is why the f*** you to TLC now? I thought the TLC announcement was made last September? Did it finally dawn on her that they mean it or did TLC reject her ideas for future epiodes--you know she tried to get a summer vacation episode out of them--and sat her down saying no, means no Kate?
Loved how she rolled her eyes and had that "I smell a fart" face she wears whenever she has to spend time with her kids (charades). She was shoving that pizza in her giant maw and washing it down with that big ole glass of wine. Yeah she loves being a mother. Lol
This'll get K8's attention, LOL. As if.
Emily Creighton @EmCr68
@Kateplusmy8 totally just read an article that Patrick Dempsey is moving to PA!!! If I can't marry him, you atleast have to!!! 😂😉
I fast-forwarded through the ski episode On Demand:
It was really boring. I hated Kate's histrionics, the way the twins talk about everything and everyone as if it's all beneath them, how Alexis again got a makeshift bed turfed out of Cara & M's room, no one wanted Alexis on their charade team, the boys saying the family fights all the time and Hannah said they hate one another, Kate being tired..on vacation. Such entertainment...gah.
I finally watched last week's episode yesterday, and caught the monstrosity last night. While Admin's recap was highly entertaining, I just could not believe the amount of whining and tantrum throwing by the queen herself. How embarrassing!
And her stating at the end of last night's episode, that this was her most favourite memory ever of her kids? Ouch, Collin.

&&&&
The timing of it seems to fit. I don't think they have any unused footage left out there after this 3 episode run. It's about to rap, and Kate the producer probably had a lot of summer fun episode ideas that involved free trips she was peddling on TLC. TLC declined, and sent a nicely worded Dear John letter to the public to save face and slip away without fanfare. As a consolation prize, Kate got to stay in somebody's air b and B during the off season because after all she is TLC "family" Cough.
She sent an F-you back by refusing to tweet during the episode as promised, which is childish but classic Kate.
I do.
Companies pretty much have to offer access on all platforms these days.
Kate has no excuse and she'll just go on like she farts rose petals.
&&&
Most do. A couple will block you when you leave the zip code like mine does, which is annoying. I can watch it on my ipad at starbucks nearby, but not at starbucks ten miles away. But, there is a work around. I can still go directly to the network themselves and stream what is available, still signing in to access it through my cable provider. In other words, TLCgo should have worked for almost everyone.
Susan 1956 (136)
I wonder--if they told her in September that they weren't going to renew, but had already contracted for another season, she must have assumed that the season would be 8 episodes. Then they cut it down to 3 and she didn't get her usual filmed vacations this summer. That would have ticked her off. Maybe this vacation was already booked and paid for, but she assumed she'd also get a big paycheck for going, and then she had to go without the paycheck. Could have been her resentment coming to the surface. Of course she can't attack outright because she wants TLC to film at some point in the future, so she chose the passive-aggressive route. Very typical of her. Imagine having to go on a free vacation with your kids and not be able to collect a $40K paycheck for it! Wouldn't you be furious too?
Just looked at the recent pictures. A few people gawking maybe, but I didn't notice any rioting on the patio. Wasn't that her excuse a while back for not doing things as a family 'there would be rioting'.
bm
in that twitter picture is she giving one of the tuttles shit like steve had to do? give me that camera now? sorry guy if khate is giving you hell she is whom she is ms entitled waste of air space
i have to laugh she always says so tired? even when she had tlc eating out of her paw. she never said crap when she was on that beach bod marathon running mom. what is it? is it secret code stating i will take my box of wine now please top it off with some downers
In the pictures that girl posted, it looks like another blonde woman is with Kate (the one in the yellow swimsuit. Jamie maybe? In the first picture it looks like Kate has her mouth wide open, probably having a b!tch-fest.
Looks like it's a trip with no cameras but she's got skeevo with her. She must need her prescription filled. Lol
Kate is a twit . . .145
Is that Jamie with her back to the camera. Kate needs her chin & jawline skin tightened. She has to be pissed being in such proximity to the mediocre/not having that space cleared for them.
bm (#149), yes, TFW was positive there'd be pandemonium if her super-famous brood, accompanied by her super-famous self, ever mingled with the mediocre public. Boy, she must miss those days.
Wendy Douglas is a producer at TLC, has not apparently worked on K+8, so why she was chosen to make these comments is also unclear.
---------------
She's listed in the credits for Kate plus 8. The credit says:
For TLC
Executive Producer
Wendy L Douglas
Amy Doyle
According to this article, posted in August 2014, Wendy is VP of Production East Coast for TLC.
http://www.c21media.net/tlc-revamps-east-coast-team/
"Douglas has launched and manages shows including Long Island Medium and 19 Kids & Counting and will now oversee production of series including the specials of parenting show Jon & Kate Plus 8."
So since she works in East Coast Productions, I would think she would definitely know what's going on with Kate plus 8.

here is something i will tell you. my children keep on watching this youtube children called skylander kids you can look it up. one of the kids is evan he has his own channel to. my children see how evan and his sister get the newest toys money perks like trips kids want even disney and nick. they bother me at times asking desperatly for a youtube channel to make videos get hits and start gaining following. ive told them over and over again its not your responsibility to start promoting yourself as "children" to gain all these perks. its the adult job to provide for the child mentally physically clothed feed and sheltered. i said skylander parents are cash cows throwing there kids to the wolves so they can live the high life. they have a huge brand new big house revunue in million and much more. i said they are sick. seriously i wont even post pictures or videos for the past 3 years of my kids many because you never know what big brother is looking for or what peverts

For the blog historians, what's been the lowest numbers for the show?
I was googling TLC last night and came across an announcement that they have 7 new shows in the works for the 2017-2018 season and Whitley--never watched, could barely tolerate the commercials--of My Big Fat Fabulous Life has not been renewed yet. At first glance, this new show, Meet the Putnams, could be a contender to replace even the offspring of JimBoob and Babykins. Big extended family--check--lots of kids--check--big house (already built)--check & check. I'm sure religion plays a part in the story, but one of the SIL's is a physician so I doubt there would be any home births.
TV, even reality TV programming is always changing and JimBoob & TFMJG would do well to accept this.

Blowing (#175), and poor Gladys still hasn't gotten the memo that supermom TFW only has 7 kids to take care of. And, no, she's not raising #8Teens. It's 7. Yes, it's much more victim-ish to pretend it's 8, but it's SEVEN.
Even allowing for people away on vacations and/or being busy with family/summer middle of July activities, that figure of 781,000 represents 416,000 people tuned out after the Duggar show. It's also 137,000 fewer than last week. Good news for people who care about the Gosselin children and the way they have been exploited by TLC with the full approval of their mother; not good news for TFW.
bm
Khate's little stunt last night may have far reaching, permanent, consequences on her bottom line.
I'm not a fan of TLC, but it seems they were willing to revisit the Gosselins periodically at the time of their announcement last fall. Yes, they did the Haunted Barn and the upcoming sextuplet birthday (both filmed on the compound) episodes on the cheap, but so far they hadn't shown Kate behaving really badly as she did on the R V trip. So her failure to show up for her tweet party last night, whether it was a contractual obligation or not, may be the final straw for TLC.
Coupon Cabin must have repeatedly tried to work with her and her final f*** you to them may have been just barely obnoxious by Kate standards, but it was enough to make Scott realize the business relationship would never work.
yup saw good old steve, wonder if its his family and kates. plus why Kansas mo ? is the last tlc special that will npt air till end of 2017? looks like collin is missing out. even thou my heartbreaks he misses out on these trips or activitys but on the other hand is he really? i think i rather be some place safe getting the attention and needs that i needed more than having someone contently screeching pointing the finger throwing tantrums hating every moment oh and complaining. no way these kids have any fun on any of these trips.
it kind reminds me of that plane trip were one of the 6 was throwing a fit on the plane than khate had to make it more dramatic throwing her own melodramatics in. How did john keep up with her that long?

I wouldn't be surprised to see better ratings next week, IF it is well advertised that it is the tups' b'day episode. Let's see if K8 herself---and TLC---actually does some work to promote it. Seeing as it may be the last for a while.

Susan1956 (180)
From the sound of it, TLC is showing the "real Kate", just like in the RV episodes. All the tantrums and meltdowns and ugliness, ruining what should be fun activities--the gloves are off. Didn't she declare herself to be a new, improved, mellower Kate when the show came back? And now they are showing everyone that her claim to have mellowed was a complete lie. She hasn't changed at all, and she never will. I don't think she's capable of change. She thinks her dramatics are what makes good TV, but all she's doing is ruining her show and scarring her kids for life (and setting a terrible example for the kids to follow). They never see to just have a pleasant time, they never get to just enjoy things. And I noticed from FB comments that even fans can't understand why she doesn't just let the kids enjoy activities rather than butting in and making it all about her. No way should she have gone to space camp, for example, That should have been just for the kids. But she just can't let the cameras roll without her in the frame. She is that narcissistic. Her claim that she doesn't win, it seems, applies to camera time and attention. She feels like she needs to compete with her own children--and defeat them--for all the attention. That's what two-year-olds do . Parents know when to take a backseat and let the kids shine. She just can't let that happen.
I wonder what the execs at TLC are thinking right now. First Kate bailed on her own tweet party last night after telling her fans she'd be there, and then the poor ratings for last night's episode. K+8 hasn't broken a million viewers for any episode for the last 18 months. They must be breathing a sight of relief to be rid of her, at least for awhile (I do think they will do some catch-up filming in the future).
I saw on the TLC Facebook page that they are starting a new mega-family show in the fall. I guess trying to recapture the audience of the original Duggar show. They are moving forward, and none of their shows is centered around a shrieking banshee of a mother. If they had any hesitation about cutting Kate loose, they should be feeling certain about it by now.

She has eyes for Kate and Kate alone. There could be only one kid on the show and Gladys would never notice and wouldn't care.
Someone on FB really has Kate's number. "Fans" have a better memory than Kate. How stupid can one woman be?
XXXXX She should go back to grammar school. "Never visited NE before"? Really. Is she really that stupid or just self centered that nothing around her matters. Remember when she used to claim she was a "marathon runner". Never mind her cheating/lying/riding her way through the Las Vegas Marathon. She participated in a "run" in Connecticut where she met her "old family member friend" Emily. Visit #1 to NE: Kate and kids to run in Rod Dixon's Kid's Marathon in Connecticut June 2012. Visit #2 Mass. and Maine. August 2014. This is where she hires "old family friend Emily" to help w/ the overdosed, medicated kids. http://radaronline.com/.../kate-gosselin-steve-neild.../ (Guess Steve the "body guard" isn't good at handing out drugs. Special friend "Emily" did a little too much communicating via direct messages w/ a Kate "friend" and Kate hasn't spoken to her since. Told too much of how the kids, C and A were medicated. Low and behold, the woman who has never before been to any New England states "takes" the kids to Vermont. Of course not one of the trips would have ever happened if Kate wasn't paid to be there, all expenses paid courtesy TLC, along w/ Kate getting a little pay check. Is she really this stupid? She is just like Trump, his followers will believe anything.

Thank you.
Over And Out (previous post) your "Close To You" reference reminded me of a Carpenters documentary I just watched. Most of us of a certain age remember that Karen suffered from anorexia, and died at 32. But this show delved into the roots of Karen's eating disorder, according to the friends interviewed: an impossible-to-please mother who thought the sun rose and set on Karen's older brother Richard, but couldn't even tell Karen she loved her.
Hey, TFW, before you joke about skeletons, go to YouTube and find footage of this talented, spirited, lovely young woman who seemed to have it all, but who starved herself to death. Eating disorders aren't funny. And, heads up -- boys can have them, too.
OT...
I was shopping today and saw an elderly Old Order Amish woman trying on a pair of black Crocs. It looked so funny with her heavy wool black stockings. She made her purchase and got into the horse and buggy that was waiting outside the store.
I should have invited her to join us under Joy's veranda, but I doubt if she had a colorful muumuu. We do have enough Rumspringa to go around.
I love Lancaster County!

Kate's in KC, Missouri? What am I missing?
Did Kate tweet that she's never been to NE or to New England? NE is the abbreviation for Nebraska. Is that what she meant? She once told one of the sheep that she's never been to Nebraska.
Gosh. I really am confused!
Ya know, at this point, K8 should be ready to just 'fess up about Skeve. I mean, he's accompanied them on endless TLC trips, and clearly on non-TLC trips as well (the book tours, LV marathon, CT run event, Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Wife Swap [not confirmed, but does anyone doubt it?]), why not just SAY what's going on? Her kids HAVE to know, and at some point, someone's just gonna blurt it out. If they don't say it now, one of them is certainly going to say it later.
It just seems so juvenile to pretend you DON'T have this constant companion, who looks an awful lot like a consort, and expect everyone around you to act like he's not there. I get it, he's PAID to be under the radar. I guess the question at this point is, is he paid to be under the covers? Anyone who's paid any attention to her and this show over time HAS to be asking this question.

Didn't TFW just whine about not having an assistant? What the heck is Rat Claws -- her life coach?

I didn't say Kate's in Missouri. Malevolent did in a post above, and Susan said, "Huh?" So I was explaining why I thought malevolent thought Kate was in Missouri. You'd probably have to see the original tweet that's on Kate's Twitter to get the full gist of it. Not really that important.

You insult me that you even think I would waste my time watching it. I am a pediatric nurse, I help children not promote their pain 🤔
Ouch. Lots of negative tweets. Hopefully some sheep had the wool lifted from their eyes.
She makes some interesting observations.
Xxxxxxxx I just don't believe her story of WHY she sent him away..I also don't agree with her having TWO years of birthday parties without him...because I was so upset at learning he had been away for so long I watched ALL the past episodes in the order they showed on tv..you can see the progression of him withdrawing BUT you don't see him ever be rude or unmanageable like his mother or several of the other kids..one episode the boys are talking about plants they planted..one said mines the biggest the other said mines the smallest, Collin sadly says mines the one Madi walked on..another episode they are getting back to school items, Collin is in the back and clearly not part of the shopping..that left me to assume he knew by that point he was getting sent away..even if he DID need help WHY not bring him home for their birthdays..she said this is their best birthday yet, BUT one of her boys was gone?!?
