<p>She has decided that she can’t win on the dancing so she plays the victim/mommy card every week. It’s the kids. It’s the mean husband. It’s the paparazzi. Waaah Waaah Waaah</p>
<p>^^^^And to be fair, Evan also had every reason to be exhausted. But he has a great attitude and a desire to do his best. Kate just seems to have a desire to make it from one week to the next and nothing more. Granted, Evan has gone through training of a different sort for years and years, understands the value of a good coach, and being “judged” is something he’s had to live with for years and years. I’ll give him that. Still, a positive attitude goes a very long way.</p>
<p>When she treats her coach with disdain, it makes me crazy. She knows exactly what about dancing that makes her think she can question him? </p>
<p>All I can say is he must have the patience of Job. Seriously.</p>
<p>I agree. She is awful, awful, awful. The package where Tony tells her to dance with some energy, and she had none. That said it all. Fred Astaire got more life out of the coat rack! Oh, bring back Cloris Leachman or Marie Osmond as the dancing doll. Watching Kate is just embarrassing.</p>
<p>Y’all are making me so sad that I missed it!</p>
<p>The only way Kate “earns” her DWTS $$$ for the week is by the one-liners she throws in during the interview each week. “My kids LIVE for this day each week!” - 10 secs of effort, thousands of dollars of pay for the week. </p>
<p>I believe that is her only interest on Dancing. The weekly paycheck. Not the camraderie, not the competition, etc. Each week she slides through, she makes $$$. Period.</p>
<p>abasket - she admits it. She is dancing to put food on the table and send her kids to school. No, they are not good enough for their very excellent public school system. Not a fan of Jon but thank goodness he got those kids off TV. Otherwise, I am sure she would have had them front and center during the show.<br>
Frankly, I am tired of her playing the “Mommy” card. She will be playing it right up until they are adults if people keep listening to her bs. </p>
<p>If she had any self-respect she would be aghast at they way she humiliated herself on TV last night. But, as always she has none.<br>
She had a tough week - ex suing her for custody, her brother testified against her in court, she was away from her kids all week “working”. argh…
I wish she would just go away!</p>
<p>Even I have to say that it’s time for Kate to go.</p>
<p>I admit that I was having a great time wondering aloud what her partner was thinking during the dance. Is he nervous about a disaster or is he just thinking that he’s not being paid nearly enough for having Kate as his partner?!</p>
<p>I must say once again that whoever styles Kate must hate her. Week after week she looks heavier than Neicy. Why in the world did they have her in that horribly frumpy long dress for Breakfast Club? Why? Because the stylist hates her!</p>
<p>As someone who has taught dance in the past, can I just say I didn’t think it was possible for a human being to dance that badly?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Probably all of the above. I’m sure he is absolutely mortified and just trying to make sure neither one of them ends up falling on their rear ends on national television.</p>
<p>It seems they dressed her in the “Pretty in Pink” ugly dress dress but used “The Breakfast Club” song. They should have had her do a cha cha cha to “If You Leave.” </p>
<p>It was a hideous look. I have never seen frumpy ballroom dancing costumes until now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>She’s making it so much harder than it is, and I don’t know if that’s consciously or subconsciously. For example, on the rehearsal footage they showed her holding her arms stiff as a board straight out in the air…I was imitating her, and the amount of tension it took to hold my arms like hers absolutely hurt!</p>
<p>I’m watching the show online right now. Can’t wait to see her!</p>
<p>OK, I have to see this. Someone tell me how to find the video!</p>
<p>Ouch. That dress was horrible. With the swim move, Tony seemed to want to channel Ally Sheedy, but the dress wasn’t that at all. Remember that puppet Madame? That’s what she looked like. I thought Bruno’s comment that she looked catatonic was spot on.</p>
<p>Nicole and Evan were fantastic. And I like Erin, too. I need to start voting.</p>
<p>crossposted: Just go to abc.com and you’ll find it. She’s third from the end.</p>
<p>That Bruno guy is a total riot.</p>
<p>I know, but for someone who’s gay he sure gives Pam more props than she earns. I thought her dance was pretty bad.</p>
<p>Wanted to add that Bruno was a dancer in Elton John’s video I’m Still Standing. You should find it on YouTube!</p>
<p>According to this interview, Kate was excited to dance last night; that was excited?</p>

<p>What was her brother testifying about? I know he has been trying to advocate for the kids for awhile…</p>
<p>Yes - he was testifying on behalf of the kids and against Kate.
They had to go to court for violating the PA state labor laws. The court said they did violate - there was indeed considerable “staging”, as opposed to simply filming the kids go about their everyday activities. The state didn’t impose any punishments but they now have to comply which includes setting up a trust for the kids with part of the gross income. They have done that but only did it last fall.</p>
