I have never seen this, first time I really heard Kate speak was on the View. I liked her. I did notice that Whoopie had to pull her to finally admit yah, she was wrong to go over to the house. As a mom, I would have been pissed its his weekend and he doesnt even spend time with them!!! Wish Whoppie would have said that.

Pamy, I do think this was when he was "working." They always have a babysitter for the kids while the show/parents are filming the loveseat/chair segments. So, in this specific case, he allegedly did have an excuse. And with the obscene amount of paps these kids have, I cannot compare this family to any other celebrities with kids. As those KIDS are not the main spotlight. The parents typically are. And those celebs do not have a show higlighting (some might say exploiting) the kids. I think that is the HUGE difference!!!

Okay. But weren't we talking about Kate doing a show on her own?

Been at the cottage all weekend, just watching The View now. Whoopi is definitely trying to make one point (Jon's custody time = don't butt in) and Kate is trying to make another (she was right all along that the babysitter was hinky) and it looks like Whoopi's agenda is winning.

I have seen this show at MOST a half dozen times over the course of its production. HOWEVER, I DO come to this thread pretty often to see how differently posters interpret the same event(s). I enjoy everyone's comments -

I still dont get why he would get 'his time' when he is working, why not let them be with Kate if she wasnt working. What a mess this is

Kate mentioned that when she doesn't have custody she is hiding from the paparazzi 'very close', so I am sure that this issue will come up in the final divorce agreement negotiations. I am thinking that when all is said and done that Kate will end up in the house full-time with the kids and Jon will have more of a standard visiting schedule. This current arrangement was perhaps a little too pie-in-the-sky and a little less than workable plus Jon has purchased a second home while Kate hasn't seemed to make any move to do so herself.

:Pamy, because his job is when he is with the kids and TLC is filming, but part of that job also involves sitting on a couch or in a chair and being interviewed.. he claimed that they couldn't do the interview with the kids running around, and thus someone had to be with the kids at that time. And he is also saying that their full time nanny or nannies were not available and none of their babysitters on the list. Kate is saying she is just a phone call away (unless she is out of town) but that instead of just having her come over and watch the kids while Jon interviewed, he chose to bring in the off the list young woman he met while partying at the bar. It is unclear if she called the kids and was told about this or if a kid called her and told her. So he does work part of the time he is with the kids. Whether TLC insisted on doing the interviews when he had no babysitter available, who knows? Jon tends to blame pretty much anyone else for anything that happens. Could be that he simply had this off the list woman staying over and one of the kids ratted him out to Kate.. both he and Kate have said the kids call them all the time when they are not "in residence".

Kate is not psychic so someone had to tell her who was babysitting the kids. One of the children may have told her without even realizing it would make their mother suspicious enough to make her want to go & check it out for herself. Or it may have been someone that wanted to cause trouble/drama. (Maybe one of the camera crew that knows who is on the list or a friend who is not really a friend.)

Is Kate Gosselin Too Shy for New Talk Show? Today 4:25 PM PDT by Marc Malkin Believe it or not, Kate Gosselin may not be as outspoken as you might think. I hear the famous mother of eight was surprisingly reserved when she shot the pilot this weekend for an in-the-works syndicated talk show with cooking queen Paula Deen. "She was very shy," a source reports. "She was a lot shier than I thought she would be." How did she jive with Deen and the other potential cohosts, comedian Judy Gold, former Early Show coanchor Rene Syler and newsman Bob Woodruff's wife, Lee Woodruff? "She's a quiet lady," the source said. "She was very low-key. But all of the women got along great." The show, being developed by media powerhouse Telepictures, is said to be focusing on issues particular to motherhood. Reports claiming Christie Brinkley and Mel B would be guests on the pilot turned out to be false, according to the source. "There were no guests," the source said. "It was just the ladies getting to know each other. They talked about everything from what's in the news and anything else you could imagine moms would chat about." The pilot was shot over two 12-hour days in a New York City studio. "They're all smart and witty," the source said. "Everyone brings a different dynamic." As for the next step, the source said everyone is waiting to hear back from executives at Telepictures from enewsonline.com

She's "shy" when she doesn't have Jon to boss around!

When your husband acts like an 8 year old someone has to be the boss to keep 8 kids in line.

Clearly she isn't always shy without Jon.. the show now, without Jon, Larry King, without Jon, The View, without Jon, etc. Anyone might be shy in a group like that when shooting a pilot.

Any one else think this new show sounds an awful lot like a reworked The View? A reality show mom, a co-anchor, newsman's wife and tv chef sitting around a table with occasional guests. Except instead of hot topics they discuss more domestic issues.

My guess is she is less shy when it comes to matters she feels confident about. I suspect she felt confident about being a mom, she knew she loved (well she still loves them) her kids, knew she was good at organizing her entire brood, keeping her house clean (even with all those kids), having good ideas for making good memories, and she had Jon by her side. On the shows, she was the main one who talked. The camera/show crew was likely communicating with her as head chief of that operation. And then the divorce occurred. Her world went upside down. I am sure that hit her self esteem like mad. She (from the look of things) does not seem to have a lot of family/close friends supporting her. And I bet she is still reeling. So I am guessing that is why she is so quiet. Oh and I bet she has seen how pushy she was to Jon, so it might be that she is holding her tongue to an extent so as not to be seen as pushy. I still think it would do her and her kids a world of good if she got herself and them out of that glaring spotlight. A lot of it is not her fault as Jon's actions have resulted in a whole lot more of that light.

I find her much more likable now than when she was denigrating her husband, on the shared couch, on national TV, so some good has come of her world being shaken up and some introspective time. Ironically, I find Jon much less likable now but it has nothing to do with his leaving her, it's more about his behavior, after he left.

got a chuckle today on People's Court. Harvey Levin commenting on a case "this girl has more tows than Jon and Kate's kids" - referring to a student who was towed many times who was suing the tow truck company for damage.
