BODY LANGUAGE OF SHAME AND HUMILIATION
Whenever you see anyone with bowed head and rounded shoulders, it means they feel shame or embarrassment or humiliation. It is interesting that the three kids in closest proximity to Kate, Colin, Hannah, and Alexis are the ones who show this distinctive body language.
They also show sadness on their faces.Perhaps she yelled at them or scolded them or shamed them. In any event, it is clearly reflected in their body language.
KATE FIDDLING WITH HER HAIR EXTENTIONS
Kate, on the other hand, is fiddling with her hair, no doubt making sure her extensions are in place and that she looks good for the papps she says she hates. Kate’s open mouth and lack of smiling eyes and non- raised cheekbones may indicate that she is upset or complaining about something.
KATE ONLY HOLDING HANDS WITH WITH HANNAH
It is also interesting that Kate is being consistent in favoring one of the girl sextuplets, Hannah. Hannah appears to be the only child who’s hand Kate is holding.
Even her favorite child’s head is bowed and shoulders are rounded, as Hannah looks down at the ground. This indicates that Hannah also may be feeling shame, upset,and embarrassment as well.
ALEXIS MAY HAVE RECEIVED THE BRUNT OF KATE’S POSSIBLE WRATH
Alexis walks a step ahead of Kate to Kate’s left. Alexis’ head is the most bowed and her shoulders appear to be the most rounded of the three.
Her head seems to be bowed the lowest of the three children, which may indicate that she is still being shamed or perhaps even yelled at by Kate in this photo ,as she appears to be in Kate’s direct line of vision.
COLIN DISTANCES HIMSELF
Little Colin, no doubt also feels the same negative emotion as his two sisters, based on his similar dejected body language. He is five steps away to the right of Kate and seems to be cut off from the entire group.
He too, does not look very happy as he looks down. So, in a protective move, Colin appears to have distanced himself from his mother as well as the entire brood.
THE OTHER KIDS TRAIL BEHIND
The other children trail three steps behind Kate. But they do not look shamed or embarrassed. Perhaps they are too far back to hear Kate’s vitriol.
AIDEN IS ALERTED THAT MOMMY MAY BE UPSET
Aiden’s body language shows that he is alerted that something may not be right ahead.
He looks up-and turns his head to be in the line of vision of his mom, Kate.
MADY’S BEING MATERNAL AND COMFORTING
Mady, the younger of the twins who used to be the one to act up and demand attention and cry all the time on the show and the one who never seemed to help with the other kids, now seems to show a maternal side in this photo.
She reaches out and places her hand on Aiden’s back in what appears to be a comforting gesture. Mady also seems to have a caring and concerned expression on her face.
TWINS DELEGATED TO CARRY THE BAGS AND THE TOYS
Maybe Kate wanted to look her best for the papps she hates, so she didn’t want to ruin her photo op by shlepping two huge stuffed animals around. That is why she may have delegated the task over to the twins Cara and Maddy.
Mady seems to just be carrying her own toy under her arm, while poor Cara, the one who was seen as the responsible and mommy- helping twin on the show, seems to be struggling with a large bag which appears to be dragging.
The bag contains her toy, an identical one to Mady’s and a lot of other items as well. She is off to the side and appears to be focusing on being able to carry all of the items.
JOEL AND LEAH TRAILING BEHIND
Kate always used to describe little Joel as being” under the radar. ” Well he certainly is in this photo. His head isn’t bowed so he did not hear any of Kate’s possible harsh or shaming words. He stands close to the nanny , who also stands in back next to him holding his little hand.
The nanny also appears to be holding the littlest of the Gosselin sextuplets, Alexis’ hand as well.
Leah has upright posture, which shows she isn’t shamed or feeling humiliated. She stands close to the nanny holding her blanket over her arm and focusing on what’s ahead of her.
THE GOSSLELIN KIDS WILL BE BACK ON TV
Jon no doubt worked out a deal where he allowed the kids back on TV in exchange for forgiving his debt to TLC. Do I think that it is a good idea for school age kids to be on TV and have cameras following them around all the time? Not really.
When they were younger it was sweet to see them grow up right before our eyes. But now that they will be going to school and interacting with their peers, it may create some additional problems for them.
If their peers tell them that they saw them on TV, the correct answers IS NOT as Kate instructed Leah to once say to her classmates on one of the last shows” I don’t want to talk about it.” I hope Kate is not continuing to misguide her children to say this. If she continues to encourage this , she will be responsible for having them alienate their fellow students.
Personally , I think that the kids have enough money with trust funds set up for them for their future, so they really don’t need to be on TV to earn more money. But that is a choice Kate made, Jon caved into, and TLC has definitely made, in order to secure continued revenue from a winning media franchise.
I think that a show featuring the kids will do very for TLC as a lot of people will love the kids and will watch it. Perhaps TLC gave Kate her own show as an insurance policy in case Jon ever changes his mind decides that he doesn’t want the kids on TV anymore.
Personally I think they should offer a show to Nadya Suleman rather than giving Kate her own show. Nadya really needs the money and their guardian angelship.Maybe they can just film Nadya’s babies growing up and leave the school age kids alone so that they can have some privacy.
ITLESS KATE AND HER OWN SHOW
Personally I cannot imagine a successful a show featuring ITLESS Kate alone without her kids. Let’s face it, the only reason she is in the media at all is because of her kids.
The woman in my view has absolutely nothing whatsoever to bring to the table. She is not a professional. She is not knowledgeable. She has not been the “mother of the year” with being abusive to ex husband in front of her kids as well as being verbally abusive to them.
She is not interesting or watchable in my view. She is not talented and she is definitely NOT likable. No matter how hard TLC tries to revamp her image by dressing her up and placing hair extensions in her head, or getting her to cry on cue or coaching her what to say in interview, she is still Kate. The real Kate will always emerge and it will take years of therapy to see a real change, if change if we can ever see a change at all.
Personally I think her personality issues that we have all seen run very deep. Her inner anger, self absorption, not getting along with family members and alienating so many who were her friends and who worked with, her speak volumes. Since she would need a licensed therapist to diagnose her underlying pathology. Therefore, I will leave that to them.
KATE’S UGLY BEHAVIOR ON DWTS SAID IT ALL
I truly wanted to give Kate the benefit of the doubt before she began on DWTS. I figured that it was strain of her bad marriage, being the only breadwinner, and caring for all the kids that made her behave so poorly on Jon and Kate Plus 8.
But after I saw her egregious behavior on DWTS, I soon realized that this is who Kate is and nothing can change her.
I can never forget how she treated the sweetest man alive ,Tony Dovalani on DWTS, causing him to almost quit. He was gracious to the end. Even though he said the right words, his body language couldn’t lie. He was thrilled that this nightmare was over! He was thrilled that he didn’t have to work with this rude, self absorbed and disrespectful woman any longer.
TONY DOVILANI’S BODY LANGUAGE SPOKE HOW HE TRULY FELT ABOUT KATE
In his final interview, Tony spoke about Kate in glowing terms. He said how hard she worked and how she had many things to deal with during the show.
But his usually animated voice was devoid of inflection which indicted insincerity with regard to what he was saying about Kate.
He smiled with his lips spread across his face, but clearly was not smiling with his eyes. You could see no raised cheeks.
In addition, he looked down and away from Kate as he sang her praises. It was a though he could no longer look at her. He clearly had enough and it showed in his final interview.
KATE’S RUDENESS AND PHONY NON- TEARS
Kate’s rudeness and speaking while the other contestants were getting their scores spoke volumes about her not caring about anyone else but herself.
And those PHONY non- tears! When she said to Tom Bergeron ,” Give me a minute.” as he tried to interview her right after she was voted off the show, she no doubt needed a minute to conjure up those fake non tears.
Also she had a Kleenex already prepared for her crying. This means that she very well knew what she was going to do well ahead of time, It is though her little tissue prop was prepared well in advance.
It was very disturbing to watch. Kate’s empty monotone devoid of any inflection and emotion, clearly reflected her false words in saying that she “loved” everyone on the show.No doubt the only one she loved on the show was herself.
KATE’S TRUE PERSONALITY WILL ALWAYS LEAK OUT
As I said the public is not stupid and can see through all of this. They got who the real Kate is and it was not pleasant. In fact, it was disturbing! No matter how they try to spin her new show by putting her in different job situations or they do a show that will show her outer and inner changes, the public will never buy it.
The real Kate will always leak out. It is the same Kate we saw on Jon and Kate Plus 8, DWTS, the View and all the other shows she was featured on.
The FAKE- non tears are getting old. I hope the powers that be at TLC don’t think that Kate’s crying which she did on every show she has been on, will garner ratings.
Instead it will be a sure fire way to turn even more people off with her.
