I was watching Celebrity Wife Swap with Kate Gosselin and Kendra Wilkinson and was in awe of how organized Kate is. I know she's a polarizing figure and I don't agree with all of her parenting choices, but I do admire the fact that she is raising her 8 children as a single parent and with seemingly minimal help.
Do you like Kate Gosselin, or can you not stand her?

I wanted to watch that episode but missed it, I wanted to see how she is these days.

It stresses me out to watch her. She seems like the most anal retentive, tense, stressed out person on the planet.

I didn't like her during the Jon and Kate days!

I used to think she was cranky and crazy but after having four kids in three years I understand why she is so anal. Without organization the house can go to hell pretty quickly plus she had double the amount of kids I had.
I still would not talk to my husband the way she did but I just understand a little more.

When the show got popular, I loved the show. I was on Team Jon & Kate. I know Kate was a B but she has 8 kids. I give her kudos for being that organized.
Then when she separated from Jon and was doing all that publicity, I kinda tuned her out and got bored of her.
I don't hate her so, right now, I'm in the tolerate her boat.
I do want to see the Wife Swap episode.

@bluestriped bee: Ditto! I loved the show Jon & Kate Plus 8, and the hubby did too. He loved the kids on there! After they split and she made their divorce public, it really turned me off.

@Alivoo01: Did you follow her when she did DWTS? I was already phased out so I didn't watch the show.

I liked her when it was about her kids and informing the public what raising 8 children was like.
I dislike her now because it's no longer for the benefit of her children OR the people raising multiples, it's for the dolla billssss.

I used to like her alot until she remained on the air after her marriage fell apart. I would love to see that Celebrity Wife Swap episode.

Leave her. Years ago, I was impressed with her organization. Even when her and Jon were on the early episodes, you could see major cracks in their marriage. I always thought that Jon was the put upon husband. We later learned he's a douche. Also early on, you could see pushing for $$. What's funny is that this morning on Discovery Health, they showed the old episode about the McCaughey septuplets. They seem so incredibly normal and well adjusted compared to the hot mess that is Jon & Kate.

@bluestriped bee: Nope! When the show ended and their messy divorce started, I stopped following.

I loved celebrity wife swap - how ADORABLE is Kendra's son???
As for Kate, no. I have a hard time watching her - even her facial expressions were so bitchy I couldn't take it.

I want to see the wife swap episode but I could never stand how she belittled her husband in front of America. That I have no respect for.
But like other pp's, I sympathize: she was a stressed out SAHM.

Celebrity got to her head!

I can tolerate her. I used to watch the show, and thought the kids were cute. But then it started to get too played out and I gave up. I'd probably watch the wife swap episode though because I love Kendra!

@bluestriped bee: She was a hot mess on DWTS! It was so awkward to watch!
@chibee: Kendra's son is gorgeous! They make cute babies, for sure! And her husband seems really really nice and relatively normal!

I never liked her. I can't stand women who talk to their husbands the way she did.

I never liked her but I gained some respect for her after watching wife swap.
