I watched the show tonight and thought that Kate did a good job. I missed the first 3 or 4 minutes, but what I saw, she didn't even mention Jon's name. She did say, however, that she would like to be in a movie. Don't understand too much of that remark. But all in all I think she did a good job and held herself together great. She should be proud of herself. She doesn't knock him at all, but I saw him tonight on some show and he was badmouthing her yet again. He's a piece of work!!!!

LOL. In the first 30 minutes, she mentioned her soon to be ex-husband's name 4 times. But it was a perfect occasion for Mrs Gosselin: she got to talk about herself for an hour. She has always struck me as loving to talk about her hair, her clothing, her heels, etc., more than anything else, so of course it was a perfectly contained hour for her.

How funny that TLC PR sent her Kate wigs. I guess it must be a terribly boring job when the star herself is intent on pumping the PR machinery and follows company orders so well. They really deserve one another.

I noticed most of the question were directed to her personally. How else would she answer them but to talk about herself?

She is still blinded by something. One of the last things she said was about how much she'll miss the show and her kids will miss opportunities. (Though that is not the blind part.)

She then went on to state that the show has not done her kids any harm. Is she really that blind? Because of the show, the kids have and will have all sorts of collateral damage, so to speak. They will (maybe forever) have the entire US talking about how rotten their parents are. That is damage.

Does not matter if you dislike Jon or dislike Kate or dislike both. There is tons of film and print that has negative things about their parents. The kids love them both. To see/read that their mom is a shrew (and worse) and their dad is a womanizer (and much worse) cannot be anything less than damaging to them and their psyches and their self esteem. It is amazing (in a bad way) that Kate does not see this.

ok, maybe she mentioned his name but she didn't slam him the way he does her!! I still think she did the best job she could. I don't know what some of you expect her to say. She is doing the best she can and I think her kids later on will appreciate that she didn't say nasty things about their father on the air like he does.

It wasn't a matter of how many times she mentioned Jon's name, but how many times she said, "I do it for my kids" according to this very funny and accurate writer:

Kate Gosselin Answers No Questions

The dog answer (or lack thereof) is hysterical and totally untruthful. There is no way Kate will ever get those dogs back. Why can't she ever give an honest answer?

The fact that last night Kate even said the kids don't like that their school mates have seen the show seems like damage to me. If the show does go on, I can see them hating it even more when they are a little older.

I can't even imagine what a horrible feeling it is that a child would have to go hide in their bedroom if they don't want their every move filmed for tv for their classmates to see. Mady is old enough that I bet she has received some comments about her filmed tantrums from other kids.

So they've proved Kate was right to keep them away from the kids. They no sooner see the kids than they are on TV once again. These two have found their way to their fifteen minutes of fame via the Gosslin children. How lucky for them.

And of course we must accept that Gloria Alread is only concerned for the children and doesn't have a reputation of sticking her face in front of a camera whenever she can.

Oh I don't think you can knock Kevin&Jodi for being on TV any more than you could knock Kate (or Jon).

Just like Jon and Kate.

Personally I think they are all self serving crazy people. Perhaps the best thing would be if all reality shows should be canceled.

Hmm that would mean that:
TLC - would actually have to program things that help you LEARN
Discovery - Science
BRAVO - Arts
MTV & VH1 - dare I say MUSIC VIDEO's!!!!!

etc etc..

This is probably why I have gone to basic cable and increased Netflix to 4 at a time. My queue is filled with History & BBC stuff and I can pretty much say I don't think I am missing much.

Except that they are gaining their 15 minutes complaining about other people wanting theirs. They also wanted the opportunity to make money off of kids that weren't even theirs, and yet they are hailed as some kind of heroes.

Kate doesn't make any pretense about enjoying the show, about wanting to stay in TV. These other people act all horrified about the kids being on TV while THEY are on TV. It just doesn't make sense.

I think that Kate actually did a decent job last night, though I saw the hand of TLC in the whole thing, making sure they got out their side of the story under this format. I am fine with that. <99> but I did think it was interesting to see her talk openly about some of the issues they are going through right now. There were sometimes I rolled my eyes at her answers (though I can't think of any right now) but overall it was pretty interesting.

Oh boy! I can't wait to see what David Zurawik from the Baltimore Times will have to report. He is on to Kate. After last night of it all being about her, will viewers want to tune in again??

"Kate Gosselins' Relatives Concerned For The Kids"

This was the banner that ran under the interview on CBS. They complain about the children being put in the public's attention. Their solution? Seek out public attention to discuss the children.

Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense to me!

And comparing the Gosselins to the Heenes? Nothing like finding a hot topic to hitch your horse to!

I don't get that neither, Keldogg. I wish they hadn't gone on TV and can't help but wonder if Gloria Alred had anything to do with it. That woman is the worst ambulance (gossip) chaser I've ever seen. You'd think she needed the money. She's a sad person.

Kate actually did Bash Jon last night from what my hubby told me. Something about a question about her re-marrying and she did a pretty decent jab at Jon. I don't even watch the shows anymore(I had no idea they were still on, I thought filming was halted?)I can't bare that woman! She's delusional. Thank god Uncle Kevin & Aunt Jodie are back!

So are none of these people responsible for their own actions? Jon supposedly had multiple affairs with women because Kate was a controlling harpy. These people go on TV right after seeing the kids and it's Gloria Alred's fault. Seriously?

They are all people with an agenda, NOT people who are looking out for anyone's welfare but their own. Just because they are anti-Kate doesn't make them good people.

I think anyone willing to help those kids or any kid on a reality show is doing a good thing. Kids need to be protected because there are parents that just want the fame and money.

Oops...I am self editing.
I am really sorry, because I wasn't trying to say anything about fellow posters, I was referring to the world in general.

Much like team aniston and team jolie, people take sides in the issue and choose to see things through that perspective. I don't think that Kate said or did anything in the show last night to make people like her more or less. What's more, I don't think that there's much she can do to persuade the general population (which according to the article in Vanity Fair, still favors Jon more than Kate) to her side. And, as much as she denies it, I DO think it bothers her. At the same time, I DO believe that she has to at least attempt to get her side out there and she did a decent job at that.

That's what I was trying to say and I do sincerely apologize because no disrespect was meant to other posters.

Angelic, TMZ has video of Kate answering the question about re-marrying. When I first heard her starting to answer the question I thought "oh no, she's going to use the question to strike at Jon," but actually she didn't, I was suprised. She was basically saying it's going to take someone with a lot of patience and character to take on her and the 8 kids.

This is what Kate said:

"I struggle because I really don't wanna be married again; can you blame me. Umm, but I don't wanna be alone; the aloneness is so alone. To say that I hope maybe, I just know it's gonna have to be someone with a lot of patience, character, strength, and umm...wow...and wisdom to take us on. I don't know if that's possible."

The only part that may seem kind of iffy is the "can you blame me" part, but that's a matter of perspective. I took it as can you blame me after seeing how crazy everything/divorce is going.
