No need to be sorry Cinnamon! Her supporters can be honest about how she dances (or walks), lol.

good lord knows, I repeat a similar mantra everyday as I get up and go to a job I don't care for!

I'm basically more of a Kate supporter than not, but her dancing last night was horrible. It has nothing to do with her motives or her parenting - she just is so wooden! I don't know whether it is fear or inability to relax or not caring or a combination of all three, but whatever it is makes it an unpleasant experience to watch. She doesn't look like she is having fun and therefore it makes us, the viewer, unable to enjoy her performance. I truly believe she needs to go home, prepare for her next move in entertainment and love on her children.

I was surprised how stiff she looked again. She had done an almost decent job with the tango.

I'm truly not being hurtful when I say this but the Tango is a very stiff dance and so it is probably the dance that Kate would do the best. I'm disappointed that she hasn't been able to do better on DWTS. She may be physically and emotionally unable to do better but unfortunately it also comes across as not caring or trying.

Jimmer you took the words right out of my mouth. I was just thinking that the Tango worked for Kate BECAUSE it's an uptight, rigid dance, and that worked in her favour, which was nice to see last week. I do give her props for not quitting and sticking it out, but I do wish she'd try to actually get some enjoyment out of this unique experience.

I can't figure out why Kate looks so "thick" in her middle. I don't remember her looking that way on the show, especially after she had her tummy tuck. Is she wearing a bullet proof corset or something?

Huk, I thought the same. I wonder if it a combination of her clothes and her being next to/near women who are just smaller than she is.

What is the big deal about her cycle journal. I kept one during my IVF and FET's. I did this to help explain to any of the children I had. Of course I only got one out of it. I wont fault her doing something that probably kept her sane during her IUI cycles.

I thought her gown last night was horribly unflattering. Matronly is the word that comes to mind.

Heh, we may all disagree about Kate's temperament, what she should be doing with her time, etc -- but I think we all agree that she really is a lousy dancer.

Absolutely, Kar, as much as I feel for Kate at a personal level, the girl can't dance...maybe we CAN all just get along! LOL

Yup, haven't read a word from any of us saying that she's a supah-stah dancer

LOL.. I look at Kate dance (or when Monica Seles was on the show) and think.. how much worse I might look out there. I mean I know I have rhythm but I also know what terror would do to every muscle in my body.. I'd be like a dancing zombie or mummy.. so I sympathize with those on this show who find that yep... for a variety of reasons, they suck at ballroom dancing in front of the world. There have been a couple of models who were almost as bad, too.. so even people used to being seen moving around may just be terrible. But then I remember how long Master P lasted.. and how frustrating that was when others went home. and yes that dress last night looked like something from little house on the prairie tightened up and bedazzled. I kept thinking.. this is not the right "last look" if you go home this week! I think she may be trying to enjoy it, but the terror is just too great. Monica Seles was that way as well.. she just did not find it enjoyable at all and it showed.

Some posts have been moved to the Dancing With the Stars thread, so that the discussion of that show can continue on topic in that thread

Drum roll please. I am about to say something nice about Jon. He has fired his lawyer and is trying to work things out with Kate and her lawyer according to TMZ and People sites. I think he is tired of all the drama and just wants to be friendly enough with Kate to spend as much time as possible with his kids. Of course he could just be fooling me but I really think he's as tired of the whole thing as everyone else.

RFLOL Mama. I agree!!! It's a very promising indication that he is ready for the adult portion of his life to begin again.

I hope for all 10 of their sakes that all will be calm and w/o drama. I hope he is ready to be responsible for the emotional well being of his kids. I won't trust him for a long time though. He'll have to behave for a long time for me to trust him again. (Not that I think about it much or have any impact on his life, or that he needs to know (that I don't trust him)of course. lol)

Yeah but firing your attorney via Twitter isn't exactly a sign of maturity.. and once again claiming that his actions are the blame of someone else.. like the attorney just went and filed for full custody, which Jon really never wanted.. http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b177598_jon_gosselin_really_truly_ready_make.html?sid=aolpop_news&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=aolpop&utm_campaign=aolpop_news
quote: Jon Gosselin's seen the light? Eh, probably just the legal bill. The unemployed octodad announced via Twitter today that he has canned his attorney and will attempt to win his latest legal battle all on his own, using nothing more than his wits and charm. No need to suppress your laughter, we'll wait. All good? OK, then… "Mr. Anthony List Sr., Esq. is not my representing attorney; I terminated him on April 15, 2010," Gosselin tweeted. "He has no legal right to speak to the press or anyone on my behalf. "Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably." Funny how this change of heart comes only after Kate Gosselin danced her way out of posing a threat to Jon's press-hungry ego. There's still no word (or corroboration) from Camp Kate as to whether or not she's on board with the amicable schtick. She returned to her Reading, Pa., headquarters from California today and then quickly took off again without speaking to reporters. But given Jon's shoddy history with communicating, we're guessing this news will come as a surprise to her. Another surprise, no doubt, will be Jon's new claim that, despite his most recent legal filing, he never wanted to strip Kate of her custody. (Jon failing to take responsibility, on the other hand, will come as a shock to no one.) "I never wanted primary custody, [List] filed for that," he tells TMZ. "I only wanted a more flexible custody schedule so I could be with my kids." List, however, is calling foul on the remarks, and says that Jon's tweets are the first he's heard that his services are no longer required. "The only thing I know is what I read in the blogs today and that he is going to handle it privately," List tells E! News. "I was shocked because we were making some progress. I wish Jon and Kate the very best, but particularly the ones that I am worried about are those eight kids." List, who only offered his services to Gosselin due to a close friendship with Jon's late father, says he has "no hard feelings against Jon." "Would I have preferred it being done differently? Sure. Because it wasn't just a professional relationship, it was a personal relationship that went back from when he was 18 years old." You know what this means: From now on, when Jon's accused of being completely "incoherent," he has no one to blame but himself. —Reporting by Claudia Rosenbaum

I am all in favor of being amicable, but if Jon is wanting to try to alter the custody arrangment, I think he should have representation just so he doesn't claim (again) that he wasn't allowed or didn't have good representation. What did Mark Twain say about a person who represents themself....they have a fool for a client.
