'Jon & Kate Plus 8': Kate & The Kids' Beach Getaway

On Monday's brand new episode of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" Kate Gosselin took her eight children to Bald Head Island in North Carolina for a fun beach vacation, while Jon Gosselin stayed behind while the kitchen at the family's home was being remodeled.

[LOL]

Did the twins go too? I don't recall seeing Mady or Cara in any of the scenes.

Hi LOL. The commercial I saw had Mady there full of pudding? I did not see the show so I don't know why she was in pudding except that last year she let them paint themselves in pudding for fun. Maybe she did that again?

[My Opinion]

Hello guys.
LOL, Mady and Cara were both there for the first of the 2 week vacation. On the second week they went back to finish their last week of school. Kate and the sextuplets continued on the vacation for a second week.

Melissa, the pudding scene that you are speaking of was on this vacation too -- she let them do it again, only there was no tarp on the porch to catch the pudding as it fell. It was a total mess. She didn't freak (well, maybe just a little, haha!!).

Thanks. I only watched the 2nd week's show.

I think Kate is getting stronger in many ways, minus Jon. She's trying new things, i.e., touching the snake, and she's more hands-on with the kids. She actually plays with them more, instead of trying to control Jon and the kids by yelling directions from afar.

[My Opinion]

I totally agree, LOL. She seems to to be making strides in her attempt to change. It appears as though she is making a reasonable effort to become more tolerable of things involving connecting with her children. Despite his blighted reputation, Jon also seems to be more patient with the kids lately. I hate to say it, but divorce seems to become them.

She is still all for herself. She is a witch

[Scott Mcfarland]

"Color me Gosselin" was my favotie episode. These kids should be taken away and made wards of the state.

[Curley]

Give the kids to her brother and wife, they will raise them right

They do seem more peaceful without having to deal with the other one, however, it probably is not best for the kids. What's up with the nanny raising them more and more which K8 said she would never allow to happen. What is she so busy with if they aren't filming?

I honestly think this family is ridiculous. Kate acts like Mady and Cara are 16, the way she gives them privileges. "Mady and Cara ar older so..."
It does't matter. They are still like 9. It gets old. I feel bad for the kids because of the divorce. They are bound to be a little screwed up. Kate acts selfish, non-appreciative with everything(poeple who host things for the kids, workers at museums/aquariums who give them personal tours),and overall rude to people. She just basks in the attention. I mean, does she really need a Blackberry? Blackberrys are for business, and she is a stay at home mom. Jon, on the other hand think he is 22, the way he runs around with 20 year old girls. He should've been more sensitive with the divorce and not run off so quickly to party, for the kids sake.I personally think Jon and Kate totally deserve each other.

You would have known if mady was there. she whines LOUDLY all the time. Guess she is learning the whinning from the queen of whine. her mother.

[REALITY]

In my opinion, Jon is the whiner. Kate gives commands.

She thinks she is the female version of Donald Trump. Blackberries are nice, but if she is going to go all out, why not get an I-phone or did she leave that in her other purse? Has she softened on her stance on Jon now that he has apologized in public and has reportedly either broken it off with Hailey or put it on the back burner to do what he needs to do for the kids and maybe even in regards to K8. So, what is holding up the divorce? She doesn't think of herself as a stay at home mom because she traveled while Jon stayed at home to allow her that freedom and to still have one parent there plus "help"... Her not being able to handle a remodel and sticking Jon with it is typical and that is very recent. I don't see that she has changed her spots. I don't know that she will ever be able to get those sympathy votes. Her kitchen did turn out well. The personal chefs must love it. I would. I'm not a jealous type of person, but if I were going to want anything she had, it would be her kitchen. hahaha. Not her body or her kids or her husband. Not her notoriety and not being able to go anywhere without being recognized. Even covering her hair doesn't help because of how she dresses. It seems she likes the attention.

It came up on my front page something about him bringing her roses. He's just afraid of being carless, homeless and foodless (JMO). She probably took the roses apt and made a vest for one of her kids. K8 Stewart. Maybe K8 thinks she will be a white Oprah and take her place when she leaves her show (holding side with laughter). What a joke!
