I am excited to see Kate on this season. Don't know why, but I am!

from an online odds site, the odds of winning: Evan 3-1 (makes sense, given the Olympic medal and previous success with Olympic athletes) Erin 4.5-1 (probably a little too low- she's known in ESPN circles as well as the scandal, plus she has some experience, but will non-sports fans like her early? That's her main danger I think) Chad 5-1 (sounds about right- NFL players do well) Nicole 5.5-1 (which I think is a little high-she has the dancing background plus somewhat of a fanbase- She probably should be co-favorite with Evan) Aiden 10-1 (a little low- because of the fanbase factor, but if he dances well early, could be a dark horse) Niecy 10-1 (a little low I think- she is one of the lesser known stars, which will hurt her early on) Pamela 10-1 (again, I think it's a little high- she does have fans, but it may not help her for too long) Shannen 10-1 (probably about right- she might have problems with fanbase early on because of her past attitude) Jake 12-1 (this one I think is a little low- if it's up to fanbase, it could be tough, especially for people who didn't watch The Bachelor and only hear of him based on magazine articles, which haven't been extremely kind) Buzz 15-1 (sadly, a little low- probably should be the longest shot on the board, because it's a generational thing- but he has some fans, especially on Twitter) Kate 15-1 (probably a little too high- she does have some fans, and if she's a quick learner and has the right attitude, could stick around a while.)

I haven't watched this show in several years. I was burned out after about 3 years of it, but now I have a reason to watch again! KATE! YAAAAA! I hope she does really well and stays for a long time so that everyone who hates her has to keep watching her to watch the show! YAAAA!!!! LOL I'm so happy now! Oh, and just because someone on a message board says Kate's had this or that work done doesn't make it so.....unless they personally know her plastic surgeon. Anything else is speculation, not gospel.

I watched Kate's interview on Jimmy Kimmel and she was great! She was quick to admit that she can't dance a lick, but said she has always wanted to learn how. She explained how she will work in the practice time. Jimmy seemed to really enjoy her and the audience was very very supportive

Holly, Restylane is a filler. The former Mrs Gosselin always had somewhat pronounced nasal-labial folds and those seem to be gone--that would be the result of Restylane injections into the "laugh lines" from the nose to the mouth. She also has a fairly pronounced lack of movement in the forehead, which would result from botox injections (a la Ms Kidman).

Well, Wilson, Kate won't like those odds, since she supposedly said in interviews that she will win DWTS, even though she can't dance (her words.) It is funny, isn't it Angelic? Seems that ABC is providing the dance studio in Kate's basement...another freebie. I've just never seen anyone get so much for free. Kate Gosselin Already Making Hollywood Scene Why the bodygaurd? None of the other contestants have them, do they? I still don't understand the need for Kate to have a bodyguard. Will the other dancers think it odd?

according to an ew.com article with the producer talking about the celebs, they're apparently going to do what's happened in the past- no one eliminated in week 1..

If they don't have bodyguards, they should. There are a lot of crackpots out there who hate someone they don't even know. Looking at the list, I can guess at least four other women who have had bodyguards longer than Kate.

Just think about Rebecca Schaeffer. She might be alive today if she'd had a bodyguard. Instead a "fan" killed her.

I watched Kate's interview on Jimmy Kimmel and her comment that she would win was said tongue in cheek. And there isn't any studio in her basement. She said they were moving things around so she would have room to practice. When the kids are in school, they will practice at a local dance studio. Even if ABC DID re-do her basement, it would be because Kate is a ratings draw. Some people will watch the show because they like the show; some will watch because they like certain professionals or "stars"; and some will watch because they want to see some people fail.

I watched the Kimmel tape too. She said they were putting "in a dance floor" so that sounds like a lot more than moving furniture around. I had to laugh at the 'Kate Making Hollywood Scene' writer in above link referring to her as mommy dearest! Tish, in the interim I looked up restylane and how it works, and I think you nailed it! Those nasal-labial lines do seem to be much softer. In fact, her whole face does. She's certainly had a make-over. Too bad her shrewish personality and reputation preceded her quest for glamor.

The comments in that article about "mommy dearest" are soooo spot on!

They put them in large homes for parties. They put them in tents for parties. They add them in reception halls after everyone has finished eating so they can dance. It takes about fifteen minutes to lay out a fairly large floor.

YUP ITA that there seems to be no end to the amount of free stuff Kate manages to get. I'll try my best to leave it at that. WAIT one more thing...isn't the basement supposed to be the kids play area? Ok done, for now. I did enjoy that video that Cricket posted. Was pleasantly surprised to see it was more other people than just Kate (who was walking out w/Aiden...run Aiden RUN!). Boy Derek is maturing well! And his partner is stunning. It was funny. When I was watching it I was thinking "she looks like Kim Kardashian" and soon as I thought it someone on the tape said it lol. Hope she dances better!

Well I'm sure she'll want the basement walls covered in mirrors too; being the perfectionist she is, she'll want to be sure she's looking her very best ;) Actually, it will be interesting to see how the commuting back and forth will really go. LA is where all the "star" action is after all, so I'm sure it will be difficult for Kate to drag herself away from her "celebrity" every week. I'm glad to see Evan has stopped slicking his hair back like Dracula.

Heck, I'm sure the sky is red, too. Lurk, isn't Derek's partner already a dancer.. (Pussycat Doll).. I'd hope she would dance better than Kim Kardashian.

At least Kate is doing something to make some money to raise her children. Jon just spends it on himself. Does anybody know if anyone other than Kate Gosselin is participating this season?

Sea, on one hand good point. On the other don't the Dolls mostly wiggle and strike poses?!? lolol But hopefully she has some grace & moves that Derek can work with. Seems she may have a lot that Derek can work with hehe. Huk, seems to me Kate talks a LOT about raising money for the kids, while going after face time for herself. When the show was on I couldn't stand her, and thought Jon was a henpecked decent guy. I now basically mutter things like "those poor kids" alot when thinking about that family, and have no use for either parent. I see them both as self serving fame hungry sad excuses for caring parents. And I'd LOVE to have both parents off my TV screen forever. Since when does having multiple births provide a reason for fame & celebrity? But let me tell you how I really feel lolol

I think the Pussycat Dolls do more choreographed gyrating than actual dancing. Definitely a significant advantage over not having any dance experience but not like she's a real dancer. And remmeber even Mya, who had a lot of years of pretty varied dance training, just couldn't emote enough to win the show, so there has to be more needed than just being technically good.

Well that sure is true, but she's been a performer most of her life.. that should give her a leg, or something up over those who have never really performed. Kate and Erin are up against major boobage in the other women, seems to me.. and while that would normally be closer to a dancer's body this IS DWTS with public voting, not really a dance thing except to the judges. While what I saw on Jimmy Kimmel didn't sound even close to a dance "studio".. just a temporary dance surface.. I remember one of the families with quints who did put a dance studio in their basement and all the girls and one of the boys wree really into dancing (not ballroom but tap and ballet, as I recall). I suspect this is one gig Kate can do that will sort of thrill her kids to watch. And whatever she does manage to learn she can pass along to all her girls. Best line from Jimmy Kimmel was that Buzz could be the only man to do the Moon Walk AND Walk on the Moon

Since when does having multiple births provide a reason for fame & celebrity? As soon as TLC put them on the air and the popularity of the show was undeniable, J&K became celebrities. This site is all about watchers of reality TV shows, and the sheer size of the J&K thread attests to the fact that people are talking about them, whether positively or negatively. Maybe that's what surprises me most...that people who profess to not being able to stomach Kate continue to feed the fires. DWTS put her on just as much to tick off her detractors as they did to appease her supporters. It's really that simple.

I had to go back and check, but to prove my point, the J&K + 8 thread is larger than the Survivor thread from Season XIX to present.
