<p>Kate sure makes Sarah look both very smart and mother of the year. As usual K has 0 interaction with kids having fun and leaves the nanny to watch them. B is not a bad enough word for K. She is the worst human being on TV (but not for long).</p>
<p>For anyone who may not know who you are referring to, I’m guessing it’s Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin (Kate and kids were on Sarah’s reality show last night, right?)</p>
<p>We have it DVR’d but haven’t watched yet…</p>
<p>This is really turning into a circus; </p>
<p>can’t stand either of them but they do belong together…</p>
<p>In my opinion, those two deserve each other. I watched the early J&Kplus8 shows but quit when the rancor just got too awful to observe. I will never watch Sarah Palin’s show.</p>
<p>She comes across pretty well on her show. Grounded, friendly, easy-going. Maybe not presidential but a person you would have a good time with.</p>
<p>I peeked in to see the SP show over the weekend. Found it amusing that she is fuming about the writer who is living next door. Won’t go in to why it is amusing, since this is not the political forum…</p>

<p>Count me in as someone who had no idea what the OP was talking about.</p>
<p>I thought it was a thread about British royalty… :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I saw the clip on the news this morning (guess it is a slow news day)-- they took Kate & the kids camping in AK—Kate says to S: “Why do you want to pretend you are homeless?” </p>
<p>Guess she was not a Girl Scout</p>
<p>I have no use for Sarah, but maybe she could give Dick Cheney some shooting lessons.</p>
<p>Have seen snippets. Agree that K makes S look smart and like mother of the year. At least she interacts with her kids. And Todd seems to be a pretty devoted H and F. I do not care to watch the show after I saw her with her kids a few feet from a grizzly (probably with a camera angle to look closer that it really was–but still), clubbing the fish (my dad used to do that before he cleaned them, and I didn’t like it then either), or shooting the caribou. </p>
<p>Give me Billy the Exterminator any day!</p>
<p>While I am not a Sarah Palin fan, she was much more likeable last night on her show - Sarah Palins Alaska - than Kate was. The Palin’s invited Kate+8 to Alaska and the plan one day was to go camping. It was raining that day and they went anyway since they are very outdoorsy people. Kate acted like a spoiled brat the entire time - standing under a tent and whining that she was cold and hungry. She never once interacted with her kids - who were having an amazing time fishing a collecting firewood. Her kids seemed to thrive on the attention Sarah P. was giving them. When Kate couldn’t take the cold anymore, she abruptly left the campsite, even though her kids were having a great time. I was surprised none of her kids put up a fight to leave - they must be very used to living by Kate’s way or the highway!</p>
<p>I think the combination of those two womens’ screeching voices caused a flux in the space-time continuum. It was the first time I’ve ever sympathized with Sarah Palin! There’s nothing worse than having a nasty guest who can’t even fake enjoyment when everyone else is really having fun.</p>
<p>I saw a very short clip of Kate complaining about the cold, lack of paper towels and sanitation, etc. She asked her kids whether they wanted to go or stay; they responded that they wanted to stay, and they seemed to be having fun. Kate said something to the effect that she was leaving, they were now Palins and not Gosselins. The cameras focused on the kids’ faces, and their expressions were heartbreaking. </p>
<p>I suspect that the TV show set up the whole thing. I don’t know much about Kate G, but you don’t have to know much to know for sure that she was not going to respond well to “primitive” conditions. It was also predictable that her kids would love being outdoors in the woods, and that they would bear the brunt of the inevitable maternal meltdown. Seems like exploitation to me.</p>
<p>At six figures per show most of us would not mind that kind of exploitation.</p>
<p>^Thanks for your post Novelisto. It gave me a big chuckle. You’re so right–K couldn’t even suck it up and pretend to like the adventure for the sake of her kids who appeared to be having a good time. </p>
<p>I was mortified by her comment to the kids—something like (I can’t remember her exact words), “If you decide to stay here rather than leave me me, you’re not a Gosselin anymore. You’re a Palin.” Did you see the look on the faces of her kids after she made that remark?</p>
<p>Barron, I wouldn’t do that to my kids (or any one’s kids) for a billion dollars – not now and not never, no way, no how.</p>
<p>Have you ever seen a $Billion?? Seriously, the kids are set for life–or could be with any money management. Compare to the Duggars who have had no major issues, well adjusted kids, and no divorce. Kids seem to enjoy working with the crew and they are part of the family in both cases. Lots of extra fun trips/adventures. Kate’s just a big old B–that’s the main problem for that family.</p>
<p>Speaking over over-mediatized moms–what ever happened to Octomom?</p>
<p>What good is billion dollars if they have to spend it all on therapy? I’d rather be poor. (And for what it’s worth, I don’t think the Duggers are a particularly healthy family model.)</p>
