Thank Goodness For Reality TV

Let's start with the Gosselin throwdown! I knew the instant I saw Jon in those 'bling-bling midlife crisis holy friggin 90s' earrings that things were going downhill. Oy, those things were nasty! Buy your little sports car, go clubbin', get hair implants...those things I can somewhat understand. But for real??? The earrings have got to go!

Just the way he talked during the episode made me wanna stab myself in the eye with a dull pencil. He was such a jerk! You can tell he's excited to be 32. He only said it like 83 times. It's sad that he would walk away from his family just so he could tear it up on the town with some floozies in his outdated Ed Hardy shirts. He makes me sick, yet sad for him at the same time.

Now Kate. Well I think it's a humbling experience for her. But as a mother and wife, my heart just aches for her. You could tell she'd been crying and was trying so hard not to break down. I truly wish her the best. I hope she will find someone who makes her happy. I was so hoping that they would quit the show and just focus on their family, but it looked like Jon was set on getting the heck outta dodge! Can't wait til the girlfriend comes to the family Christmas! HA! Won't that be cozy?!

Now for the face sucking machine we call the Bachelorette.....

She's gone postal. She got rid of Jake?? She's hitting the crack pipe a little hard these days or something. I'm so glad Tanner P and his freaky foot fetish are out of the running, but man, she kept Wes?? She has some major blinders on. The one and ONLY reason I will continue watching from here on out is because the previews for the end look SOOOOOO dang awesome!! I almost piddled when they brought Jake back! BOOYA! Nice guys don't finish last SUCKA! I pray he tells Jillian just what a tool Wes is! I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it! remember that episode of Saved by the bell when Jessie was addicted to caffeine pills and she sang that? because I do!). The suspense is killing me! So what did you guys think?!

  1. Woo hoo, I'm the first post! Alright, Jon & Kate how terribly sad. First of all it is totally lame because he can run off now and have his "new" life leaving the responsibility on Kate. He even caught himself saying "I need to do what's best for me... and my kids." I think he sounded like someone has been encouraging him, like another woman... oh Kate doesn't treat you well, you have taken it for so many years, you could be so much happier, yeah I think someone is feeding him his lines. Okay and one more thing that totally bugs me, the media trying to make Kate look like a horrible mom. For instance showing her spanking her daughter. Come on people, seriously. Is there any mom out there that hasn't gotten upset with their kid? Or she's a bad mom for talking on her cell phone or not letting her daughter have a drink of water. They need to leave her alone. I did wish they were going to end the show to focus on their family.

    As for Bachelorette, I just couldn't do it this season. I liked Jillian the most last season, but Jason burned me. I was so mad because I got so involved. I didn't even like him, but got roped in. I hope Jillian really does get a good guy though.

  2. what stinks is that I Wes as one of my "Top 5" on my "Bachelorette Blog" :( I'll have to go back and look at who else I had...I think they're all gone (Juan was one too). He is a DIRTBAG isn't he...so smug like "I'm here for the music, not the girl". My BF asked "Does she get to see all of this?!" I said "Uh, no, honey, if she could see all of this he'd be gone." I am 110% for Reid now. I must've missed him on the bio page (before the show even aired). Isn't he a cutie patootie? Glasses or no glasses...I don't care, although I think the glasses hint a little to "crazy serial killer guy". LOL.

  3. * eeek* going to stop reading...not because i want to but because we've just started watching the bachelorette ( probably the only reality show i cancel my plans to see) i know we're quite behind with these bachelor's and bachelorettes shows but the last one really disappointed me soooooo much... the guy chose the wrong girl damnit!

  4. Ugh, I don't know what to think about J+K... I feel so bad for their family! I've been watching this drama unfold for months now and have been glued to the TV (and perez hilton...) for months now trying to figure out what's going on. I agree that Jon acted like a total jerk last night. He kept saying that he was there for his kids & wanted the best for them, but boy he seemed happy and excited to get the heck out of there! I wonder what actually happened. They never touched base on the facts, but never really dissolved the tabloid rumors either. I feel awful. I also think it was a bad move to announce this on national TV, too. Their poor kids! Who wants to watch their parents divorce on TV?

  5. I don't have any patience for Jon and Kate. Actually, I don't have any patience for any parent that uses their children to gain fame and fortune on a reality television show. Anyway, my favorite reality show is The Amazing Race. I found your blog through Orange Juice.

  6. Yes, the earings are HORRID!
    I feel so sorry for them, but you know....it's a product of their life.
    They chose this life and the consequences...

  7. OK we had the exact same take on J&K+8. He is an arse! The earrings were dreadful. I LOVED (insert eye roll) the part of the interview when he talked about being EXCITED! UGH! Anyways I am so tired of hearing about how she was such a nag (even though she kind of was) and deserved it or whatever. Please, we all nag from time to time and our husbands don't go hang out with 20 year olds. It really was a bummer to watch! I think she is the only grown up in that marriage!

  8. Okay, this season of The Bachelorette has been the BEST EVER! (In terms of drama at least, not in the love dept, lol) I wasn't surprised she got rid of Jake, it was obvious she wasn't into him (not like when she's with Kiptyn, Reid and unfortunately Wes) but hey Jake, it's not "nice guys finished last" it's "nice guys who don't tell the girl they like that the guy they like is a douche bag". Seriously, NO ONE said ANYTHING about Wes literally saying that he's there for everything but her?! If I was those guys, I would've went straight to her, screw the whole man code "tattletale" thing. You're going to stand by while a girl you supposedly have feelings for is being taken advantage of? Man up! I personally don't see her with any of the final five.

  9. man you take a day off readin blogs and you miss a ton!!! that photo of your hubs at the park is hilarious!!! and your givaway looks oh so nice!!! think i am just going to have to sign myself up for that one!

  10. I never use the term OMG, but OMG! Jon & Kate is ONE HOT MESS! I thought the exact same thing about his trashtastic bling bling and his 'i wanna be cool' Bluetooth. I think Kate is a hot mess in her own right but he's definitely hit the midlife crisis train about 10 years too early.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I am also on Kate's side. I know she looks bitchy on the show. But, he looks like an ass to me that needs to be told what to do. If he just helped out, she would not have to bark orders at him. I think she will enjoy some time without the free loader. Now - he can have the 8 kids every other weekend!!! I want to see the tv footage of this!!!!

  12. AHHHH, RIGHT ON! When she ousted Jake and kept both Michael (are you kidding?) and Wes (are you f***ing kidding me?!) I was livid. Jake is too perfect? I'm sorry? Well, Michael has yet to move to a big boy bed and Wes is probably running rampant with STDs. At least she got rid of Tanner. All he ever talked about was feet and the guys who are there for the wrong reason. And if he wasn't willing to name names, he's got no one to blame but himself. Suck it, Trebek!

  13. I don't even watch Jon & Kate, but my heart is just broken for them. I've read their Multiple Blessings book and it's just so sad that it doesn't seem like he wants to work on their marriage (I mean, I don't know if she wants to but it sounded like it from the snippets I heard "I don't agree with this personally, etc").
    Oh boy, he's 32. I'm 23 and I'm working on my 2nd kid. Do you think I live the "normal" life of a 23 year old? No, but it's the choice I've made (and I love it). And even on days when I don't love it, I'm committed to it.

  14. Oh I'm so right there with you...I wanted to totally go through the television and b%#Tch slap both Jon and Jillian....I'm like poor jake...he needs to be the next bachelor....totally....and Wes....oh she'll eventually find out about him...he can only put up the act for so long....

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah I totally agree about Jake..The hubs and I were so upset that she let him go and kept WES!! and yeah i make the hubs watch it with me (though I think he secretly likes it). Also i think it is ED that comes back at the end and proposes. Oh and I totally love Kipten.

  16. sad sad sad (talking about john and kate)-I didnt think they had the best marriage to begin with so I almost saw it coming. And, dang-it-I missed the bachelorette-thanks for the lowdown!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Very sad. I don't usually give a fig about celebrity marriages and divorces but this one really seems to bug me.

    If a show was destroying your marriage, wouldn't you stop it? I know I would. And 32 is old man. I'm 32. It's not the time to be diddling schoolteachers its time to put your big girl panties on and be an adult..

    DH was laughing at me screaming at the tv last night..

  18. That is so awesome that you remember that Saved By the Bell episode, because I.DO.TOO!!! If I had a boyfriend like Slater (even with the 90's mullet thing) I wouldn't need pills!
    I'm glad you did a re-cap on those shows, because I don't watch em, (don't know why, really) but I DO keep tabs on them and what's going on. Man, that SUCKS what John is doing to Kate and the babies. I hear she's kinda b*tchy, but they have kids together and they need to work on it. Give up the show. Give up the "fame." Work on it, people!

  19. so sorry to hear they split but i could imagine it happening. The thing that irkes me most is that the man gets to enjoy his life while mama stays home with 8 kids to raise. With some hope they might get back together after a short break who knows....

    ReplyDelete
  20. oh i totally feel the same way about the earrings, jon's earrings made him look a member of a bad boy band. it's beyond sad when we think our youth is still in fashion 20 years later.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I must admit that I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on with Jon & Kate. It almost seemed like she did something wrong, but who knows. Those earrings are just flat out hideous.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I haven't ever watched more than five minutes of Jon and Kate. But, I hope they pull the plug on the show now. I so worry about those kids. How will they feel with their family's demise being public entertainment?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yeah, I was really hoping they would cancel the show and focus on their marriage. Guess their hearts aren't doing the thinking.

  24. Love this post! I used to be a huge fan of J&K+8. In the beginning they were so, down-to-earth. so real. I loved them from the get go. then the show began to change. About a year ago I caught an episode where they were commenting to the camera "a company called us today. They want to give us a piano.." At that moment they lost me forever. It's a pretty sad deal.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Your's is awesome!

  25. I totally laughed when I saw Jon's earrings. Man, he needs help. I mean I'm 27 and I had my son at 19 but I'm not about to go nuts or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Have I been living under a rock!? I NEVER SAW THE BLINGY EARRINGS! Oh man.

    ReplyDelete
  27. How do you just LEAVE 8 children?? I know they have nannies and stuff, but how does one parent raise 8 kids? That's crazy! I guess the fame was just too much for them.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's tough being a mom, but at least when you're spouse is there sharing the burden and the blessings in an encouraging way, tough becomes oddly beautiful. The few moments I've ever seen the show, it just seems like she's so emotionally stretched she can't connect with her children--even with the help she has. What a wonderfully fiesty blog you have!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thank you so much for noticing the earrings! I mean damn, what is that man thinking? It's like a car wreck on tv, I couldn't help but to tivo it and watch it, and I can't say I'm glad I did. Yowsa!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I stopped watching reality shows like Jon & Kate because they almost always seem to end on a painful note. I'm especially sad about this one and I've never even seen an episode.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ok, I know everyone is going to hate me but, I can't blame Jon. Kate is the biggest pain in the you know what that I have ever seen on TV. She really grates my nerves. She has been determined to make sure that Jon has no manhood since the beginning of the show. It really bothers me when she speaks to him and others like they are beneath her. While I do not agree with the way he has chosen to break free of her demeaning ways, I do think it was about time. Now if he decides that he is not going to take care of his children and walk away from them, I may have to come back and take everything back.

    ReplyDelete
  32. oh geez! i always felt bad for jon, kate was always hard on him, and while he feels that he was passive during all this, doesn't mean that he gets to go all bling wild and do the eff he wants. but i feel bad for him, before long he will realize that being with his kids is more important than his "freedom". he's a butt bag (you know, a bag full of butts LOL)


    you are so sweet, thanks for your kind comments!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh I totally agree 100% about Jon & Kate! He's just a jerk for leaving her and not wanting to try and salvage their marriage. I love Kate...I'm a lot like her. I think she's stronger than she knows and will get through this. I hope she meets one handsome dude who will support her better than Jon.

    Ugh. Those earrings were totally yucky.

  35. Hi Alicia,

    Thanks for popping by my blog today. I'm so excited for SITScation. I've been wanting to see the list of attendees so I could get acquainted with some of the girls ahead of time. This is going to be such fun!

    I love your blog design - very pretty!

  36. Personally I think Jake is too good for Jillian and can do better. I think she's a sweet girl but nothing special. And the fact that she's keeping Wes around shows her intelligence level. $10 that Jake is the next Bachelor.

    ReplyDelete
  37. dude. wtf is Jillian thinking?!?! I loved that pilot man. Wes is such a creeper. I love your blog! I grew up in Belmont Shore and Huntington and your beach photo makes me miss home. :(
