Months ago I shared I believed Kate Plus 8 would be cancelled because there would be very few eyeballs watching the show. People are not interested in seeing grown children and tweens , who are not talented on TV. People also do not want to see train wreck children in the making. Paul Peterson , President of A Minor Consideration and former child actor made us all aware of what can happen to children performers when they grow up. Oftentimes isn’t pleasant and can end in drugs and death.
Jon Gosselin was not being petty or playing “tit for tat” during and after his divorce from Kate on this issue. Instead he was being a very responsible father by loudly vocalizing that he did not think it was good for the kid’s emotional and physical well being to be on TV at this point.
But as we know Kate saw it differently. She even had the audacity to say publicly that the show was good for them emotionally. She insisted the kids were fine and lied on national TV interviews that the kids had any emotional problems. She was adamant that Colin and Alexis were not having any problems when in fact they showed violence at school. So now that the show has been cancelled……to read more click here
Kate Gosselin’s body language is way too happy looking. There are those who have called her a narcissist. Others have called her self centered and craving the limelight. So if Kate did not have another gig lined up, she would no doubt be leaving the show kicking and screaming. As we have discovered over these past years, Kate seems to care about Kate above all else.
TLC cares about Kate above all else as well as long as she brings in cash and eyeballs. Eyeballs didn’t want to see kids innocent from yet another broken home. The beauty of the original show was that the kids had a very hands on father who doled out lots of affection. Viewers loved to see the cohesive family unit until Kate started abusing everyone from Jon to the kids.
She was so unlikeable on the show and even more unlikeable during interviews and hosting gigs. She was whiny and petty and even though she had a very good makeover on the outside she was ugly as sin on the inside in my view with her lying and self absorption. In fact during one of her latest interviews she still mananged to get a dig in and trash Jon.
She was given a lot of golden opportunities and a chance to reviving her vile image from co hosting the View to appearing on Dancing with the Stars. She blew it big time. Her abusiveness to teacher Tony Dovalini did not endear her to anyone. Neither did all her fake tears.
But even though she was hated by so many, it crought in eyeballs for DWTS . People who loved her watched her because they were fans and those who hated her watched her because they hated her and wanted to see her fail and watch what obnoxious thing she would do next.
DWTS is and ABC show as is the View. TLC has an affiliation with ABC, hence Kate’s constant appearance on the network. The suits worked too hard to getting Kate’s physial image right and invested a lot of money in her brand . So they are not going to throw her away just yet. They will try every which way to re-brand her so she is more likeable . But it don;t work.
The real Kate will always emerge and it is not pretty to watch. What is inside your heart comes out in your voice, behavior, speech content, and face. Just look at the above photo.Put your hand over Kate’s nose and mouth in the photo and then look at her eyes. You will see that they eyes are not smiling. That means the smile is fake, forced,and phony.
Personally I think Kate’s 15 minutes of fame are over even though the suits will try their best to push her down our throats in a repackaged way. We got who Kate is and no matter how she is dressed or re-rapped we see a vapid, self centered, mean spirited, whiny, abusive, petty talentless and”itless “woman with nothing to offer. She knocked out six kids with the help of fertility drugs and that is about it, She can’t sing or dance. She is not particularly bright nor does she offer any unique speciality to the world. And please don’t tell me that she is an expert on parenting. An expert on parenting has gone to school to study not just how their children operate but all different types of children. They do original research and learn the research of others in the field.
And please Kate fans do not waste my time and say that I am a Kate hater . I am a Kate reality checker who doesn’t get involved in the spin or drink the kook aid or play”the emperor has new clothes” when in fact they are naked. And if you are so in love with Kate you need to ask yourself who you would love such an abusive woman. Does she remind you of an abuser in your family who may have treated you like she treated Jon and the kids. Do you speak as sarcastically to your own kids? Do you slap your spouse like Kate did?
Anyway, Kate is still here to stay and to make herself relevant so that somehow the network will see the ratings they one say with Jon and Kate Plus 8. But in my view those days are long gone. They are obviously giving happy Kate one more try. If she fails, she is history in tv land. www.drlillianglass,com
