Guessing you didn't watch the caribou butchering, if you thought the halibut batting was hard to watch....

Honestly, what made them think that Kate and her brood would be a good match for this rather harsh outdoor show? Seriously. Alaska is far removed from DisneyWorld.

I do remember seeing a warning about the fish bashing. I chose to mute and avert my eyes while that was going on.

I am not watching Sarah's show, but I have been halibut fishing, it is hard work and it certainly isn't for young kids the age of Kate's. Kids like to fish, but there is no way a young kid could land a decent size halibut.Makes me wonder what TLC was thinking.

I don't think they go halibut fishing. I thought it was something like a campout.

Cricket, good! A camp out would work, I hope.

From the previews, I don't think it went well at all. They looked cold and unhappy.

This is a spoiler about the show Kate and kids are on.

Read only if you want to to be spoiled, as it describes the episode...very funny article. I'm definitely watching this one.

The halibut fishing was Sarah and Bristol. And yeah it was in our faces but we do realize that the animals we eat have been killed at some point.

Much as I love Deadliest Catch, all those crab are kept alive and then pulled apart

Yes they looked uncomfortable.. the Gosselins, anyway..

Loved this article! I saw the show once - maybe twice. Just didn't find watching a bunch of kids I don't know to be interesting. I do stop in this thread from time to time to see what folks are saying -

Just watched Kate & kids going camping with Sarah Palin & family. This is the first time I've been disappointed in Kate.
I hate to be cold and would have probably have left too, but Kate was a bit over the top. She acted miserable the entire time. Why? She KNEW it wasn't going to be within her comfort zone. The producers must have said do it or else.

Never thought I would say it but I really like Sarah as a woman/mother. (not a politican) Her daughter, Piper has the most adorable giggle.

I'm totally agreeing with you Willsfan. I was disappointed in her, too. We saw such disappointment in Piper's face as well when Kate wasn't having any fun at the "campout". When Kate announced they were leaving, Piper's face was just sad, but so adorable in her little hat. The fact that she didn't want to follow them out from the camping area spoke volumes. Wasn't Sarah's father wonderful with the kids? He must be such a great Grandpa to have!

And I've been enjoying Sarah Palin's show! I think that even though we know some of these things she's doing are new to her (mountain climbing, etc), she clearly loves Alaska and enjoys time with her family. I don't care for her politics and think she isn't nearly intelligent enough to be a public official, I like her a lot as a person. Her show is great and I love her enthusiasm!

I saw the Kate I've always seen but was still saddened when she told the children if they didn't come with her, they'd no longer be Gosselins; they'd be Palins. The doubletake looks on their faces and the way they were being torn between having fun or being disowned by their mother was just so sad.

I have always seen Kate stand apart from her children without ever being involved with what they are doing. That is why they need their Dad so bad.

Cricket, you hit the nail on the head. She didn't even try to join in on the kids fun. She had her mind made up that this was not for her and she didn't seem to care that the kids were having fun and to tell the kids that they would no longer be Gosselins was not only sad but deplorable and very selfish on her part. To me that was Kate showing her true colors, her way or the highway. If their father had been there with them (which he wasn't because TLC and Kate won't allow it) he would have been right in the middle of the kids having the time of his life.

Say what you will about Jon, he probably would have made the best of the whole trip. I can't believe Kate did that. I guess she doesn't understand or care how unfavorably she appears on the shows.

I've watched & enjoyed every show Hukdonreality. Didn't think I would but was pleasantly surprised. And I agree Sarah's father is entertaining too. I bet all the grandkids love staying over at his house.

My only surprise was that TLC showed Kate to be exactly like the tabloids, ex friends, staff and family describe her to be. Dr. Drew will be visited by the clan shortly, just watch and see.

I couldn't believe Kate also allowed the kids to pull out the tongue of the bear rug. The kids are young but they should have been taught to behave more civilized.

I can't wait to read the kids tell all books....I'm guessing the twins will be the first to do so....maybe 10 years from now.

Kate made Palin look...like an angel....LOL. Oh Kate!! Poor Kate!!! Poor kids... Poor Jon.

Palin's dad had Kate's number from the start, he said she femaled dog from the min she landed. Todd had it right too, he kept fishing and Palin called him out on leaving her to tend to that woman.

I read the temp was 50 degrees. The kids were playing without gloves and weren't even shivering....no one was shivering!

Lifair,
My FIL has a bear skin rug on the wall. My girls really like it and the first time my oldest saw it she went up to it, rubbed and snuggled against it then gingerly stuck her fingers in it's mouth, and out came it's tongue.

She carried it over to me and handed it to me and I didn't know what it was. Honestly, my first thought was "OMG She found one of SMIL and FIL kinky sex toys!" (yes they are that freaky).

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Kate made Palin look so good! In spite of her ditziness and lack of qualifications to run the free world, I bet Palin is probably pretty fun to hang out with. Kate, well, I bet she a whiney nightmare to hang out with! And Jimmer, why would she care how she comes across on TV. It's worked for her so far. She has a mansion, books, a TV show, and a hoard of fans who love her and tout her as a great mother!

Kate was really awful, no doubt about it.

I have been on trips like that however, and been equally miserable, but not equally nasty and rude.

Even if it was only 50, if you are soaking wet, that's quite cold. They did show them drying gloves over the fire, and Ms. Palin also alluded to how cold it was, in that they had to gather closer around the fire.

I just read that TLC claims that Twist of Kate has not been shelved and is still intended to move forward. A show aimed at women who have been inspired by Kate's story based on Kate giving advice to families about how to overcome obstacles and personal challenges? What advice could she possibly give? Whine a lot? Luck into a tv contract and hang on for dear life? When life gives you lemons eat them and make a really sour face?

ROFL! That's it...or she could tell them to demand entitlements and they will come. Surely, they won't let her tell anyone how to parent.

What is it going to take for TLC to drop this person? I feel that TLC has created a monster by continuing to pay Kate. They aren't doing the children any favors.

I can't stand this women and yet time and time again I keep coming into this discussion to see what she's done now. Personally I don't give a crap and yet here I am again. I am so mad at myself I truly wish she would just go away. She is such a unhappy person trying to come off as happy!!!!!!!
