The Demise of Kate Gosselin, er, or Her TV Show is Near

Emily decided to stay another night, and left early this morning. She is just as obsessed about TV as me. So I had a TV watching buddy last night!!

Let's recap.

Hell's Kitchen

I don't think I've ever been as ready for someone to leave the show as I am for Elise. I can not stand watching her! Last week, all of the remaining contestants turned into one team, and they got the revered "black jackets." The guys think that the drama surrounding Elise on the red team was just because the red team was full of girls. They foolishly thought that she would be normal with them. Jennifer knew better, and just sat back.

Will won the challenge, which was to take an American, homey favorite, and make it visually appealing. Elise came in second place, to be honorable, he took her along for his reward. He thought he could inspire team spirit by treating her. Muah hah hah hah.

That night, Ramsey told them that for their next dinner service, they were to compete against a team of chefs from previous seasons with a score to settle. Imagine that in my best dramatic announcer voice. So, they had to create their own menu. Which is where it gets weird. While planning this menu, Will suggests tuna tartare. They all agreed, and then from nowhere, Elise starts yelling about how she doesn't want to do Will's menu, and they need to collaborate. The guys just sat there, stunned.

Will explodes, saying, "It had to have been you!" (Referring to the drama in the red team) and stormed off. It was epic.

They ended up just sucking it up and cooking that night, and beat the oldies. Ramsay based his decision on the comment cards, and 96% of the comments said that they would return, as opposed to 80%. Ramsay still said that they had to nominate 2 people. They nominated Jennifer, who had some bok choy that was too cold (the horror!) and Elise, because they thought she was obnoxious. Well, in a surprising twist, or a twist that had no surprise at all, they both got to stay because dinner service had gone so well. Psych!

In the previews, it refers to Elise as the diva chef from hell. Hah.

Kate Plus 8

Like I said before, I'm only watching this show because it's almost over. And I'm glad I haven't been watching it, because she is heinous. I mean, really.

They went white water rafting in Utah, and she whined the whole time, because it was hot, and then she didn't want to get wet, and then she was mad that they went through a rapid. Now, for those of you who know me, I am not a thrill seeker. However, if I have rafted many times and have come away unscathed, and then a bunch of five year olds don't even get wet, she shall live. I think that the guide was thinking about hitting her over the head with his paddle.

And then, the weirdest fight ever started. Kate was planning on grilling some chicken over these tiny little grills that they got . Ashley, her nanny, and Jamie, Kate's friend, suggested pizza. Then Steve, Kate's "bodyguard" (I think he's the boyfriend) agreed. Kate flipped out and barricaded herself in her RV. But the best part was when she fussed at him, saying, "you scoffed at me." To which he replied, "I did not scoff at you." She brilliantly said, "we have footage that showed that you scoffed at me."  Really?! Scoff?! Who says that anymore?! I literally kept rewinding it and playing it. I thought it was the dumbest bit of dialogue I had ever heard.

The climactic point came the next day, when they were eating lunch. Apparently the kids weren't supposed to eat the leftover pizza, but Maddy did?! I was confused as to the details. Then Maddy handed a piece over to Steve, Kate's weird man thing, with her bare hands. Travesty! Kate started screaming, because Maddy did not hand it to him on a plate. She caused such a scene that Ashley up and left. Quit her job as their nanny, hopped on a plane, and is never to be heard from again. Holy cow.

TLC didn't disappoint in the drama department, but the reason I liked this show in the first place was it was all about the kids, and how cute they are. It's turned into something else altogether. I feel like fame came too quickly for this woman, and it turned her into a monster.

On that note, tell me how you feel!!
