Kate + 8 = YYY

Ok...so I tried not too, I really did...but I watched. I couldnʼt help myself, I had to see what the new Douche Free show was like. I honestly only watched so that you didnʼt have too, your welcome.

The show really hasnʼt changed that much at all. Except for the fact that Kateʼs hair is blonder, longer, her heels are higher and her tan is, well faker. The kids are still cute, the oldest daughters still whinny and Kate is still trying to prove something. Not quite sure what, but I am sure it is very important.

It was a double your pleasure kind of night with back to back new episodes of this must NOT watch show. The first hour was used to show us (the dumb as dirt for watching) viewing audience, that the children really did miss the film crew. Complete with a surprise entrance, oohs , awws, kisses and hugs. All the while Kate narrating trying to convince us (and herself) that this is whatʼs best for the kids and everything is as it should be now that the cameras are back. There was a statement made by one of the boys that I thought was troubling; when the cameras were back in his home he exclaimed, “now everything is back to normal”. Very sad that the kids consider this to be normal.

They took yet another free trip, this time to Discovery Cove, Orlando. It was all about Kate and how she has no patience and her outburst moments are now due to low blood sugar levels. Well then, I better get my sugar checked, because I have outburst regularly and mine quite frankly are due to low patience and high frustration levels. Paaalease, I so call bullshit! Kate also got in her usually Jon is a jerk digs, which makes her appear jaded and bitter. She has every right to be bitter, but it is better to bite when the cameras are off.

The second part of the show was all about Kate, yes...even more so than normal. It covered her media blitz as of late, from her disaster of a book tour to her utterly sufferable appearance on Dancing With the Stars. The episode was filled with people, from an editor at People Magazine, Marideth Vieiraher , her BF, to the silver fox of a body guard Steve, repeatedly force feeding us that Kate is really not as big of a bitch as she appears; she is just a strong woman. I say she needs to pee in a cup and get checked for steroid use. We saw breaks downs , tears, sarcasm and a plethora of oh poor me and you donʼt you know what Iʼve been through...Kate did her best to try and convince us that being an attention starved Diva is her job and the all day hair extension marathons and trips to the tanning and nail salon are work. We, the viewing public, were chastised by her peeps and told to leave her alone and get a life. Yet as I recall Kate came into our living rooms through that shinny silver box and not us into hers. So if she wants to be left alone, she needs to get the hell off the shinny box.

So there you have the painful low lights in a nut shell. It was boring, self-indulgent, blah blah blah. I watched the first episodes for you, but that is as far as I go. If you want to be a masochist and continue the pain, you are on your own. I have had my fill of the Gosselin saga, because it is a crazy life, but itʼs my life, and I choose not to waste it watching Kate + 8!

Be a Reality Diva...Cosmo

1 1/2 oz Absolut Mandrin Vodka

Shake all with ice except the soda. Strain into a tall glass of ice and top with soda. Garnish with a splash of “Itʼs all about ME ME ME!”

I watched it too...I felt compelled, not sure why really, but I did. I agree, what the hell is she trying to prove? Now, listen I have nothing against the broad in fact at times I find her bitcheness indearing, but christ lady GET OVER YOURSELF and SIT DOWN! We get it you are a mom of 8, trying to balance carreer and life...whoopy...want to talk to my tweeps, they are all pretty much doing the same thing. All in all I agree with you Dee on your run down of the show, and agree the kids are cute, in fact getting even cuter and yes I heard that statement the one little boy made too and felt bad about it as well. :)
