Julie Gosselin Blog
Julie Gosseling Blog - A post made by Kate Gosselin’s sister in law Julie Gosselin, is now the tlak of the moment. What she says? Well she basically tell everything is fake and that we shouldn’t watch the show, because they only give the audience what it wants. This sounds true, harshly true to many perhaps.
To us it is no wonder that TV shows only give people what they want. Reality-TV is a farse. Here, read below what Julie Gosselin said:
Since TLC is airing the old episodes, I thought I shed some light on how the show works. We’ve discussed this before, but it’s buried somewhere in the archived posts.
When the show first started, Kate made a wishlist of things that she wanted, and that became the theme of each episode–the carpet, twin’s room, bunk beds, cow, hairplugs, teeth whitening, trips, etc. EVERYTHING that you see them do or buy is completely paid for out of the budget for the show or traded for free advertising. Kate went on and on about saving up for special days, you saw her paying for things, she talked about budgeting, etc. It is all for the appearance that they are a struggling family with 8 children. They needed to be relatable. They didn’t pay for any of it.
The episodes are also staged. Here’s how it works…there is a staff of people reading these blogs and they base the shows around what people are talking about. I haven’t watched many episodes, but I do know some of the behind the scenes events.
The Christmas episode from 2007. Producers told Kate that the viewers wanted to see her show appreciation to their helpers. They told her what the episode was going to be. I think they baked cookies and then went caroling (of course this was probably one of their many “traditions”–those are all fake too). Kate threw a fit. She didn’t want to do it, but she did…because they were trying to pacify the viewers.
Another example is the “Games Gosselins Play” (I think that might have been the same episode as their “mission statement”). I actually did watch this one. This was around the time that I started reading discussion boards and finding out that there were many people opposed to the show. It was so obvious that the mission statement was addressing all of the concerns that I had been reading online. The game time was just ridiculous. After the episode, I called Jodi and said, “what was that?”. She hadn’t watched it, so I explained that it came across so fake (at least to me). Jodi was with Kate when she got “the call” about the theme for that episode. Kate said something like, “so now I have to pretend that I play with my kids”. They also wanted her to pay special attention to the boys.
Don’t believe everything you see. The children are also being prompted to say or do certain things. They signed their lives away to TLC and they will continue to spin the show to keep the viewer’s interest. I don’t believe this show will go away until the viewers decide that they don’t want to be played anymore.
Of course, you’ve all figured out that they are showing Kate cook/bake to promote her upcoming cookbook. The show has now turned into a show about a family with a reality show–move to a mansion, cross-over shows, book tour, talk shows…
I’ve only watch a handful of episodes. I haven’t even seen all of the episodes that Jodi has been in. I made a personal decision long ago to do what I can to give those children the privacy and respect that they deserve. I refuse to watch and participate in something that I feel so strongly against.
Please don’t watch on Monday. You’re not going to learn anything new by watching. They will only show what they think people want to see and it isn’t real anyway. They will probably drag this out (J&K’s “relationship”) for the entire season. They just string the viewers along hoping that they will come back for more.

What is your problem with Kate? Why don’t you mind you own business and keep your mean comments to yourself. You come off as envious and jealous. With family like you who needs enemies.

I’m very confused. Jon Gosselin is an only child, so how could there be a sister-in-law named Julie? Jodi is a sister-in-law, but she is married to Kate’s brother who obviously is NOT a Gosselin. So WHO is writing and saying this stuff pretending to be “family”?

Thank you cseagle LOL jodi is married to the brother of Kate which makes her not a Gosseling who the heck is Julie…I thought Jon had a brother but maybe I am wrong.

Why doesn’t everyone give Jon and Kate credit for the good job they have done of raising those dight children. Well mannered and fairly behaved. I just think everyone is so jealous of the good job they have done. Raising eight chilcren is a very very stressful job no matter how much help they have gotten. No wonder they are having marriage problems. Look at the advantages those children have received.

Julie is Aunt Jodi’s sister. Aunt Jodi is married to Uncle Kevin, who is Kate’s brother.
Check out Julie’s blog. quite insightful.

I think everyone is agreed that Julie, who is not a sister-in-law to either Jon or Kate, needs to get over her crazy jealousy issues. Being a sister to Jon and Kate’s sister-in-law does not make you family. You should stop trying to get a free ride. You look so pathetic.

Jodi and her family need to mind their own business!! Jon needs to grow up!! what does he think he is doing to his children? If he EVER loved Kate, why is he being so “public” and “hurtful” to her? I know she treated him rough, but I think she is the type that if jon told her really how he was feeling, she would have done something about it. Kate does most the work, and the reason she goes away to do book deals, and works the show, is because she Wants a great life for her kids! The kids are loved, there is no doubt about that! Jon going around the world sleeping with tarts who should never be allowed around those children, is not only hateful, but just plain WRONG!! Does he know, that when he hurts Kate, it hurts the kids? they love both their parents, he is hurting the mom they love. I think he is incredibly selfish!! He is spending money foolishly on loser girlfriends. I think the Glassmans should put their daughter in re-hab, then get her a good shrink, then explain to her, that you don’t go out with a selfish, mid-life-crisis, irresponsible, man who made commitments more than once to his wife and 8 kids!!!!!!! Kate, is a great mom. I think she should do the show alone with the kids!! He has abandonned them, and a man who does that is worse than an infedel!!!!! He had it all, they probably needed much marriage counseling, Kate even admits she has been wrong, but for him to go out with Vengeance, with all these young girls, (a mature women would not want jon baby gosslin!) He should stop spending his kids money!!!!!!!!!! 180 thousand for a skull and crossbones engagement ring for that insaned glassman child, is unthinkable. He really better re-think some things, although if I were Kate, I would not even want him back at this point. He could have been alot nicer, if he had to leave!!!!! He is not a man, but a spoiled only child, who abandonned his family. Shame on you jon!!!

Quit being so jealous of Kate and support her.

DUH! This Julie person must think she’s the only person in the world with a brain. We KNOW it’s staged, but we LIKE how they stage it. Do you think we believe that soap operas are real too? Geez. By the way, with family like that…no wonder Kate is so mean all the time. I would be too if I had to deal with catty people like Julie and Jodi in my family. thank god I don’t!!!

what’s up with “Gosseling????”
is that a typo or a fakeo?
missy on May 26th, 2009
Julie, you really need to get over yourself. This show isn’t about you, it is about Jon and Kate. What they decided to do with their lives really should not be a concern of yours. Get our own life and don’t be so jealous of Kate. It isn’t becoming of you.
