Loading ...TLC: A Bit Biased, Weren’t We?
Last night’s episode titled “Broken Dreams, Broken Promises, Broken Episodes” lived up to its *cough* optimistic name. It sure was “broken” alright.
The footage originated from various episodes already edited and aired. So essentially, this show was just the unwanted scraps, much like that 59 cent hot dog seen eternally spinning in the gas-station hopper.
To add insult to injury, these editorial hot dogs were edited to put Jon in a very unfavorable light. I guess TLC has completely jumped onto the Kate bandwagon, and pitched Jon under the wheels. There is no mistaking who’s side they are on after last night.
Kate was pretty much allowed the run of the show and she took every opportunity to let Jon have it. If there was blame to throw, she threw it. Hard.
During the segment about the dogs, she all but flat-out said it was Jon’s fault that the family had to get rid of them. She blamed him by implying that it was his job to train them, and that he was just plain lazy and didn’t do it. She also let her catty side out by saying that Jon needed a collar instead of the dogs.
Classy.
Naturally Kate whined about Jon not spending enough time with the kids, and that Jon is putting his own selfish needs before them. The viewers were treated to heartless footage of Jon ignoring requests for popsicles in order to talk on his cell phone or him chatting up the paparazzi over the family’s fence while the children beg to go swimming.
Of course, amid all this Jon bashing, we have to have some Kate glorifying. Cue in the book signing segment. What’s more entertaining than watching Kate being gushed over by adoring fans? Actually, a lot of things. How about paint drying?
Oh, and don’t forget the self-congratulatory segment of Kate (and not Jon she so graciously pointed out) serving dinner at the Ronald McDonald House. That was so PR fake it was sad.
Along along, the TLC crew can be heard kowtowing and laughing at every lame joke Kate fires their way.
Pretty much a summary of the whole episode could be boiled down to this: TLC and Kate wanted to throw Jon under the bus and attempt to soil his already tainted reputation, all the while buffing Kate’s image until it shined. It was so obvious it was painful. Given the fact that it seems like Jon has been trying to ruin his image (and being quite successful, I might add), this whole episode was a petty and unnecessary stunt to pull. Why not take the high road and not stoop to mudslinging?
As I said, Jon was doing a perfectly good job all by himself making him look bad.
It is so blatently obvious, I could care less about Kate and any of her future projects. It’s too late for her self serving apologies about her earlier behaviours and then her “mud slinging” of today.
my opinion is that jon is real low to be seen with other women.i think he is having a great time being single.not to much thinking of his children.what will his children think when they see daddy with other women.he should keep his women behind the bedroom doors for a bit not just jump right in to it.if kate did that she would be considered a no good mom.has she been spotted with men.NO if she was it would be front page so who is smarter.who is thinking with the right head???
