I am hereby naming myself Trixie's PR agent and will begin charging you all $5 each for her autograph. 

There will be a limited number of autographed posters of her being very, very dirty.







Trix, we're going to make a mint!

Well, I suspect when they signed on for the show, they had a thought that (and I can see the producers not attempting to dissuade them of this) the show would be more like a documentary, and it would stay at that. Seriously - if someone said they wanted to "document" my life, I'd think - "well, my life isn't that interesting" and I could make some quick cash and then drop out. Well, the show exploded, and suddenly there's all this "stardom" that I didn't expect and I wasn't fully prepared to handle it. I'm not trying to appologize for them, but I sincerely doubt they sat down with the producers and planned out a way to ruin their lives on the tv screen.

I also think that any camera person could put together 21 minutes a week of me being a bad father. Not because I'm a bad father 100% of the time, but certainly for 21 minutes I'm not at the top of my game.

I never considered that the announcement is another baby(ies).  Whoa...

If you watch the show you would see that there is some seriously uncomfortable interactions between J & K (when they can't avoid each other entirely), so I doubt it's a ratings scheme.

I was hoping the announcement would be: "We realized that doing this show has turned us into crazy people and we're not behaving like nice spouses and parents therefore we will be canceling our TV contract so we can get back to being a real family and taking care of business like normal people." 

Oh wait, that would be too smart.

And here's a little bit of personal trivia - they live not too far from me; Jon's father for a few years when we first moved here was my kids' dentist. Rumors in town for years before the show were that Jon was a slacker whose family worried that he was not going to accomplish much. (We are also Taylor Swift's home town, where she lived until about 7th grade. She's just one year ahead of my youngest daughter.  But that's another thread)



well, he still didn't. I mean the doctors even fertilized the eggs for him. just sayin.

and I SWEAR to god if she's pregnant I will laugh so hard!!! (I didn't even THINK of that)


Kate didn't have IVF.  She took something to ovulate more.  Rumor has it that she hyperstimulated the cycle she got pregnant with the sextuplets and the doctors advised her not to get pregnant.  She did anyway.

Jon's father for a few years when we first moved here was my kids' dentist.



So Jon only had a father for a few years? Did he get a new one every now and then? Maybe that's part of the issue


Sorry - I worded it poorly.  I should have said that "for a few years after we moved here, his father was my kids' dentist."  He (Jon's father) did pass away a few years ago, but Jon had his dad the whole time he was growing up. BTW, we changed dentists because my kids hated going to him.  He was the only "pediatric dentist" specialist in town.  But we found a family dentist who they like much better. Who is of course much more expensive.  And used to own a million dollar+ mansion in town.  But again, that's another thread.

*sigh*

Drama sells.  I swear they have some kind of screening process for reality TV...if you don't score "will create tons of drama" you don't get on the show....

My husband is a resident where Kate delivered. All the nurses said she's a royal btich.

But, it's like a train wreck- I can't stop watching....sigh. I'll be watching tonight. I actually *hope* the news is a divorce. She beats the crap (verbally) out of John and he can do way better. But, man, what would the custody battle be like??

If you use your current avatar pic I want royalties since I personally took that pic much to the amusement of the lifeguards at the pool. Share the wealth, baby!!!

 

No, you didn't. Refresh your screen....a photog did take it though, just one that does it for a living.  Sorry, zeerah.

Bigfuzzydoug - 2009-06-22 7:38 AM I'm kind of proud to stupidly ask, "who are Jon and Kate"?

x2 

I mean, I've heard of them, but wtf?

Never watched the show, never will.  My obsession with reality TV ends when it involves innocent children.

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about Jon and Kate and how they are not talking much but are still signing autographs....WHAT?!?! SERIOUSLY???  Autographs??

 

I don't watch the show but as far as I know....and it's STILL too much, they are just parents to a crap load of kids, and not real good ones at that.  Am I missing something here?



This is to what you've been reduced? Bleeping taper.

It's over.

Apparently, my complete apathy about ever seeing their show outlasted their marriage.
