The Gosselins had more tears than smiles to share the first time the Gosselin family went skiing together. Jon and Cara head out to Utah to experience some more winter fun on the slopes, while Kate wisely hangs back with the rest of the clan.

Recap:
When I was growing up, I went to a high school that had a Roses and Thorns section in the newspaper. People could for a small fee (or sometimes the newspaper staff got their digs in) give roses (kudos) to people who deserved it or thorns (bitch out) people who deserved it. I am dedicating this episode to that fine tradition.
Roses: Cara and the father daughter trip (said it twice just in case we missed it). Big commercial for the ski resort.
Thorns: Mady got braces and despite Kate saying they weren’t going to film it, they did.
Roses: Cooper Hoffmeister, the pro at the resort gave Jon and Cara the VIP treatment- more freebies! And as Kate was talking about going to Sesame Street Live (like Mady wants to see that!), Jon looked smug, like he had something in his pants to give away to the snow bunnies—maybe Bonnie the instructor?
Thorns: Meanwhile, back at the McMansion….again, it is all about Kate. She has to do everything to take the kids to Sesame Street Live. (Mental note to boycotters- Crayola, Empire Carpet, Ford, Disney all had ads during the commercial breaks.) Kate’s annoying voice to the dogs—calling herself their mommy. (Snort, that’s about right!). They can afford a “doggie sitter”. And Mady doesn’t want to brush her teeth (whine) WHY?!?!!?
Roses: Cara got homesick and missing the “dogs, Mommy and all the other peoples”. Notice the dogs rank first. Kate said she was worried about missing her. Ha. Nice way to be subversive Cara! I am so proud of you! Cara was SO into that trip- she didn’t miss anyone.
Thorns: Kate finally got everyone in the van. Psst! Tip for you Kate: get the kids a step stool and stop posturing for the camera! The kids were sleeping when she got there and Kate couldn’t figure out what to do. Hannie had a meltdown. Poor Kate and Hannie…. LMAO. And did Kate tell her to get a grip like she would have with any of them….? NO, Kate carried the Precious One all the way in and left the other kids in her wake. What happened to the holding rings Kate? What happened to the buddy system? Of course “it ended up working out” because “that’s real life”. Great wisdom, babe. (Yes, she was in heels dragging six kids around in the dark. Which I don’t understand.) (Ads in second break- Volvo, Mars (3 Musketeers), State Farm, Apple)
Roses: Pat Brown was the bobsled coach for the Jamaican Olympic team….. more VIP treatment! I am not sure where Cara disappeared to. Sorry I blacked out from boredom. Later they said she wasn’t tall enough to bobsled. She’s just like Sporty Spice. Jon said he forgot to breathe during bobsledding. If only…
Thorns: They had a box seat. The kids didn’t appreciate it….. they ran around. Kate had a huge bunch of popcorn that she doled out to Mady in her hand. As if Mady couldn’t hold it herself. Kate even had her own private kitchenette!
Roses: In the teaser for the season finale, they tried to make it seem dramatic that there was a hint of marital strife…..
Thorns: ….but we already know they’ve signed on for another season. We just couldn’t be that lucky. Kids have to pay the mortgage and for spa days you know. (Ads- lost track for a while- real life intervened…). Cara and Jon-boy went to a tube park and went tubing….. woo hoo. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. As Jon talked about the day, Kate wore a blank expression or maybe it was more like “is it my turn to be the center of attention?” They did conveniently forget to mention that Jon bought a house in Utah.
Roses: We were back to the kids meeting the cast members. Mady stayed noticeably back for the most part. Way to really be subversive- or bitchy. Either way, congratulations.
Thorns: Kate was desperate to get her “flock back”. Jon and Kate couldn’t be less into each other on the couch. If Cara was so into getting out of the van and hugging everyone- why didn’t they show that touching moment? I call bullshit. An article was out a while back that said Jon bought a home in Utah. I am sure that this is going to be his divorce home. Rumor has it that they sent Cara back with the television crew and that is when Jon went clubbing in Utah.
I am sure that next week will be a rehash of the article that ways they are together and Jon is just at a loss because Kate’s career is taking off. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

These idiots aren't a typical family. Who the hell makes a show around getting things?
Jon and Cara get a skiing trip.
Kate gets a free trip to a book gig.
The kids get VIP passes to baseball games and amusement parks.
Who the heck cares!
I want to see:
Jon gets plastered at a bar and Kate won't let him in the door.
The nanny and the kids get lost in the 24 acre spread and the police have to be called.
Kate's chef resigns and she has to interview replacesments, which isn't easy when they see how bitchy she is.
If you don't like the show then why the fuck do you watch it? And how could you wish such horrible things on someone that you don't know?
What is going on with people? Why is it that everyone has to dig and scratch at people that they never met? Are you just jealous that you aren't getting the attention and the money? That you don't have your own show?
If it bothers you that much, go have your own sextuplets and raise them on your own. Tell me how it goes so I can bitch about you, telling you how horrible you are and that hopefully you divorce with your husband. I'll say that I hope to see you fail in life, seeing you in the guttters while your husband is with some chick he met in the bar. Please, do it. I really am looking foreward to hating your life so much that I can't stand to turn the other way. Because I'll have no self control like you.
And seriously, making comments on a 8 year old? Seriously?
Now, I'm going to laugh and point at you if you don't approve this message. You can make cruel comments on J&K+8 but I can't about you? If you can't take, don't dish it.
I dare you to post this.
Double dare you.
Dani, if you don't like the blog, piss off.
You sound a little like you might be a Kate-stalker or even an 8 year old stalker. Either way, it doesn't matter. You're still a freak. You can laugh with your multiple personalities (don't think I didn't see your other comments) all you want, I really don't care.
Are you happy with your 15 minutes of fame now?
How many times did they have to show Cara skiing down the hill? Once would have been enough. It wasn't like she's the next Picabo Street or something. I did not hear about the Condo in Utah Jon bought. Do tell.
I didn't say condo, but The Park Record, in Park City, Utah reported that Jon bought a home. I blogged about it 1/14/09 You can read about it here:

Shine on, gwop2009! Dani sounds like the Bitter Bitch of the West. She waxes on about
"What is going on with people? Why is it that everyone has to dig and scratch at people that they never met?"
Pot meet Kettle.
I finally watched this epi and have a few comments. When Kate put the kids in the van and said Buckle up! How were the little ones supposed to buckle up by themselves? I have a 5 yo in a 5 pt harness and Have a difficult time doing it myself. Unless the straps are dangerously loose.
Cara was not buckled up on their way to the bob sled ride. YIKES!
A dog sitter for an evening at Sesame! Who does that?
and Maddie eating Popcorn with new braces DUH! Though Kate was sorting through the kernels individually!LMAO! Did they edit out the tantrum she threw when she had been told she couldn't have popcorn?
Can't wait for tomorrow! Like a car crash, I can't look away.
