My Rant!

When do people become so mean. I have to wonder about this because it baffles me and has me in a tailspin. Yes, I am a reality TV watcher, and yes, I did follow the Jon and Kate mess. I put most of it on the back burner, until Kate starting dancing on DWTS. The more I watched DWTS, unfortunately the worse Kate got, but I could not help but feel sorry for her. She has been thrown into the Reality circus because of money, was it her fault, absolutely, as she signed on. But as the time went on she had to refocus her thinking and do all she could to provide for her family. I thought going on DWTS was a good idea for her, especially when I found out that each star can make $200 Thousand Dollars. Is Kate perfect, oh no, no one is, we all have our faults, but she is still entitled to provide for her children.

And then the bomb drops.

No job Jon announces he is filing for full custody of the children because she "broke the terms of her agreement" and has abandoned their children. WHAT? I was totally floored. There have been so many single mothers on DWTS who have been able to do the show and take care of their children, of course with help, but it certainly can be done.

I have gotten to the point where the site of him disgusts me, and I think she feels the same way. I also think she sees him in a different light now, and is positively stunned on how he is reacting. I am sure she did not see this side of him, nor did she ever think he could be this caddy.

This story truly is what I have always believed in, ya just never know what a person is capable of doing. You think you know a person, but on second look, you did not know them at all. I also reference Scott Peterson in this category, wholesome young handsome yuppie, who one would think had the world at his fingertips, but he was none of that, what he is, is a cold hearted murderer.

This is my rule in life "don't every underestimate a soul" I abide my this daily, and I can only hope that others would do the same.

Carol: I liked your rant. You have a good and true philosophy. You just never know what people are capable of and it interests me the path they take. It certainly is a long and winding road.

I am not watching DWTS and wasn't a big fan of Jon & Kate plus 8. The only thing that saddens me is that I know of at least TWO younger people who were fans and they took something wholesome and wonderful and turned it in to a big fat ugly mess. That makes me sad for the younger folks who loved the show and then had to watch it spiral out of control. What message does that send? So sad.

I never thought Kate talked right to Jon on the show the few times I watched it. She treated him like one of the kids. So, my opinion is that I don't know anything except that two people that are divorcing are causing a lot of pain to their children and others. It's a shame.

A real shame.

Bebbi..

Happy 1..

I agree about the younger children watching the show, and then the mess happened..Also agree about divorce and how it effects children, esp families in the spotlight.. And also agree on how Kate spoke to Jon, at times it seemed bossy..

I guess my point was, No Job Jon, and how caddy he is now, and prob was not that way before.. and how all this mess turned him into such a greedy disgusting mess..

I read today that they will be bringing back a show with Kate and the kids.. I am sure he is getting a piece of that.. so he should go off on his merry no job ways..

gotta run clients just walked in..

:O)

DeeDee said...

Jon and Scott are hot.....

Bebbilane said...

Dangerously hot. Which sometimes adds more to their "hotness"...for some women.

Bebbilane said...

Your pics looks like your brains are blown out, DeeDee..lol

Bebbilane said...

Carol: I agree, he does seem to be a bit vindictive now.

DeeDee said...

Bebbi!

If you are referring to my new chapeau...it is the latest thing from fashion week in Abuja, Nigeria!!

And I wear it with pride celebrating the art and talent of the Mother Land....

(looks away in confusion)

CAROL - I have the same feelings as you do. Kate is a HORRIBLE dancer, but America has voted for her to stay. If that is the way she chooses to make money at this time, so be it. Jon is just making noise to make noise. Too bad he doesn't think about how this will affect his kids.

BEBBI - Kate did talk down to Jon, but you have to realize that he ALLOWED her to. If he would've "manned" up long ago, maybe they wouldn't be divorced now. I don't know.

DEE DEE - You are making the Mother Land proud ;)

Tina~in_ut said...

lol...i normally watch DWTS, but I can't stand Kate.....so I haven't been watching~ They just bug!!~

Bebbi~ Congrats on prettiest~

DeeDee~ u look loverly today~

Jodi~ good morning~

Tina~in_ut said...

oh.....and DeeDee~ had another dream about u last night~

Zona said...

Good Morning!

CAROL: I totally agree with you about not knowing what some people are capable of. I've been surprised many times. I think I know someone..and then they blindside me with behavior I never thought I'd see from them. I try not to let it make me jaded..I still accept everyone pretty much at face value..and pray they don't prove me wrong. I guess that makes me a little naive though.

I only saw a couple episodes of Jon and Kate..so most of what I know about them is from TMZ or other on-line sites. It sounds to me like Jon is jealous because Kate is continuing to receive so much attention and that he is trying to punish her for it. I really doubt he is thinking about the kids welfare at this point. It's really too bad that they're the ones acting like children and hurting their own kids in the process.

BEBBI: I see you're continuing to shine at FIRST! :)

Waving a sore wing (too much stretching) at JODI, TINA and DEEDEE!

Dianne/Denver said...

ZONA: Your wing ache is not from stretching....I saw you trying to do the dance moves of TINA, MARY and myself. It takes months to be able to put your feet on your own shoulder, or pick up that apple...ask any of us as this is not an overnight thing. We will find another dance for you but this has been your second try now. Remember how I tried to teach you the moves from Beyonce Single Lady? I remember that didn't work out so well either. Ok, I have it ....get ready for your new dance all of your own....ready??? Put your right foot in, take your right foot out and shake it all about....noZONA THE RIGHT FOOT!!! Geesh, this isn't going to be easy!!

I never watch the Jon and Kate show but I don't care for her on DWTS. I think she is a little over dramatic and I think Tony thought so too the other night. I don't think what Jon is doing is right but as you say CAROL from my own experiences with a husband in my past....be careful how well you think you know someone.

I was watching the Today show and they announced that Tiki Barber is now in the headlines for infidelity and leaving his pregnant wife (8 mos pg with twins) and his two children....Men Ug!!!

Hmmmm, wonder if BONACHICHI is awake yet? TINA, did you check on her this AM? And btw BEBBI, congrats on first and are you still wearing the dang garlic?

DEEDEE: I think you look lovely this AM...I don't know where the fashion sense is in these other owls. It is so you...... PS Still waiting to confirm on that May meeting with you.........

JODI: I may have sent snow but look how fast it melted. I was just teasing you with some flakes...TINA does it to me all the time...

Bebbilane said...

Dianne: I still am proudly wearing my garlic and will do so until Miss Bonachichi comes back. I am anxiously awaiting her return and, quite frankly, am deeply concerned for her. I wish Tina would quit supplying her with all that Crack! It's making me mad...some people *rolls eyes*

Bebbilane said...

Dianne: Can't wait to see the "single lady" routine too..haha. You are amazing, woman!

Bebbilane said...

Zona: When my sister first moved here, she did some things that I felt totally blindsided by. It is funny how one person will do something and not even realize that another may take it a certain way and feel flabbergasted. It really just shows that everyone's outlook on things can be so different. It is always a goal of mine to take a step back and try to be tolerant..it isn't always easy for me. I tend to go berzerko and say thing or do things out of emotion that I may regret a little when my head clears.

Bebbilane said...

But they say awareness is the first step in change.

Zona said...

DIANNE: Oh..I remember! I'm pretty sure it was those 4" heels I was wearing that were my downfall..down..fall..ahem..anyway...if you want me to learn the Hokey Pokey you have to slow down a little..I can't keep up with your moves..it is called the hokey..'pokey' after all.. ;)

Right foot..no left..damn.. :D

BEBBI: Funny you should mention your sister..because my brother was one of those that did things I would never have expected..though looking back I really don't see why I was surprised at all.

I say and do things out of emotion too..I often wish I had better control over that.

Awareness is the first step toward change..very true. :)

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I can't wait to see your mad dance skills. I'm just hoping MARY can give TINA some singing lessons.....ijs!!!

ZONA - You better take a break....danger of snapbacks and all ;)

Jodi said...

I'll be back in a bit. Mom's Taxi is getting ready for take-off ;)

Jodi said...

ZONA - Lube the tube up.....need warmth here!!!

Jodi said...

25!!!

Bebbilane said...

DeeDee: Okay..I got a good look at your picture now that I am home and I see that it doesn't look so much like your face was blown apart..it looks more like a mask. Thanks! I couldn't look at work.

Bebbilane said...

Hey Jodi, How was the Mom taxi tonight?

Jodi said...

BEBB - Not bad....glad to be home. Chilly here in the house. Gonna get into my snuggie and veg on the couch!!

Jodi said...

Crap.....BEBBI...sorry I misspelled your name. (hanging head in shame)

Bebbilane said...

Jodi: No worries ;)....I am off to be Zumbalicious! woo hoo. :) Have a good one and catch ya later.

Jodi said...

BEBBI - Have fun working it!!!

Zona said...

Friendly word of advice..when putting water in the swimming pool..make sure you set a timer..especially if you're easily distracted like I am. It seems we now have a pool AND a lake in the backyard...ooops..

Zona said...

JODI: C'mon over for a swim..it's 85 degrees and we've got lots of water.. ;)

Jodi said...

ZONA - Watch out......CANNONBALL!!!

Bebbilane said...

Back and all zumbalicious'd up. Had a good workout today..21,232 steps..but, I ate too much at dinner..haha. oopsy.

Bebbilane said...

psst..where is everyone? Must be a party in Farmville tonight..haha

Dianne/Denver said...

OMG there are 36 comments and they are all by 7 of us DEEDEE, TINA, CAROL, BEBBI, JODI AND ZONA....where the heck is everyone? If there is a FV party (as BEBBI suggested) it makes me wonder why the seven of us weren't invited?

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi. Congrats on stepping into first again.

I never followed Jon and Kate but the way he acted when they split was really tacky. He seemed to think he was some kind of celebrity or something. I really don't have an opinion of Kate except I saw her dance the other night and she is really bad.
My son and his wife are going thru divorce right now. It is amazing how the ex continues to not put the children above her own selfish needs. She just thinks she should be able to be a party girl now.

Mary/MI said...

Stopping by on my way to bed. My internet service has been off and on all night. It made for difficult farming.
I never followed Jon & Kate so I can only go by the "entertainment news".
I am sure they must both love the children. I hope things work out for the sake of the kids. I definitely don't think he has a leg to stand on with his claim that Kate abandoned the kids for a few weeks of dancing! His reputation doesn't seem to be the best!
I am off to bed. I have to travel to the big city to have the Dr look at my tummy. It is still puffy and blk & blue, but starting to show signs of a decent tummy lol!

Have a great Friday everyone!
You too sweet lurkers!

Tina~in_ut said...

Di~ No fv.....i was on Mary's FT~ She leveled up tonight and bought more land~ :)~

mary....take pics of ur tummy!!!! then send them.....I'll make a card out of them!~ :D

Maureen said...

Sorry I didn't make it in yesterday. It's been a crazy week.

I used to watch J & K + 8 and she treated him like a piece of shit thru the whole show. But, after the split, he acted like shit. Maybe it is a self fulfilling prophecy. When you are constantly meant to feel like an ass, you become one.

That said, his latest claim that Kate is abandoning the kids to be on DWTS is a load of crap. First, she rehearses in the basement of thier mansion. They fly back for the show. Second, she is so bad a dancer I imagine the run wont last that long anyhow.

In my opinion, neither one give a rats ass about the kids. Kate is a nurse and can make close to $100K a year if she worked as a nurse manager or a director in an agency. She can raise 8 kids on that, as long as she gets over the need to be a princess.

I think the whole situation is crap and the kids are the ones that will suffer in the long run. They both need to grow up and just be parents.

Ok, my rant is done!!!

Gotta get ready to leave for work.

Unknown said...

I did not Jon and kate plus 8 much. I just think it is sad especially for the kids. I hope they will be ok. I have noticed that a lot of couples who do reality tv end up getting divorced.
