Blame It On The Gosselin Effect?
Filed under: Reality Television > The Gosselins
Honestly, the show always got good ratings, but to get THIS BIG…WHY?
Dancing With The Stars came back with a vengeance in the ratings last night, winning in every primetime slot and coming up 19% from last year!
Incredible! It wasn't even all that good!
So who takes the credit for this mega draw-in? Our money is on Kate Gosselin, with thousands tuning in to hate on her and even more tuning in to see if her adorable children will make an appearance. (No such luck, but there is always next week!)
Can the show keep this kind of ratings momentum going?

Demi Talks About Joe On Kimmel
*You're
as predicted, she looked like a cow. please America, get rid of her pronto!!
Personally, I've never watched the show, but I did last night because of Ochocinco. After he danced, I changed the channel….
She was a cow. Made me laugh.
learn how to spell you fat fucking retard.
i watched for evan lysacek. so sexy
I disagree. I think the bigger draw was Pamela Anderson which is why they saved her for last, but I'm sure Kate was a close 2nd
"Your" versus "You're". Back to grade 1, Perez.
You bash the show, Parasite, but we all know that if they had the incredibly bad taste to call you to compete, your fame-whoring ass would be in flouncy sequined dresses so fast it would be unbelievable.
I watched for Shannen Doherty and Buzz Aldren. I could care less when Kate gets kicked off. I mean I don't hate her, but I don't really care whether she does well either, and I am not much for Pam shake you hair Anderson either. She needs to tone it down a bit. She looks a bit older than her years.
NO WAY! it was PAMELA ANDERSON. Ive never watched the show a day in my life until last nite & it was only to see Pam
The low point of the night was when Kate danced so I guess she didn't bring in the ratings. When House brings in new episodes DWTS will drop just like always
Ummm, I've never watched until now. Two words: Shannon D.
Frack the rest of 'em.
for someone who is supposed to be so media savvy, you really get it wrong sometimes. this is the most interesting cast that DWTS has ever had on that crap show.
Wow, you will try to use ANY excuse to promote her. All my friends tuned in to see how weathered Pam Anderson is.
I would love to see Kate win just to make all the haters out there eat crow. If nothing else I hope she get in the top 3 or 4 spots. I personally think she did pretty darn good for some who has never dance in her life.
I watched and I am still laughing that "…tony was pushing her around the dance floor like a shopping cart"! She was seething and I'm shocked she kept her big mouth shut. I'll be watching to see when she gets the boot. Pam Anderson was the best even though she is ho-ish…
Yeah that's it. Trot the kids out and exploit them even more.
Look, we know we're going to be stuck with her for a few weeks because she makes ratings bump from the hate. So here's a great idea: DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW UNTIL SHE IS GONE. She won't learn any other way.
SPELLLING, MARIO, SPELLLLLLLING.
DON'T YOU MEAN YOU'RE!GEEEEES
I waited for Pam, the only real star who has been in many t.v shows and movies. I so enjoyed watching her!
I never watch Kate's show…but I've read several articles about her being a bitch, well I would have to say after seeing her dance and being judged, she looked she was getting ready to jump on the judges and rip their throats out! It was kinda funny! But the Bitch look did come across her face! She'll be booted off in no time!
No more like Pam and Evan
Brooke Burke looked so hot last night!
It's "you're"
thats y i watched it
Aiden Turner for me.
I watched it for Shannen Doherty, my favorite celebrity OF ALL TIME!
We all know, Mario likes being on these HIGHLY rated shows. Next Top Model and the Bad Girls CLub……………….ratings, LOL. Mario, you are such a freak and a retard.
I have been meaning to ask, what was up with those clothes you had on in Austin? The telephone shirt and those horrible shorts? Who were you NOT trying to impress. Oh my, how people were laughing at your stupid ass……I had some friends there and they say you sucked!
I do think Kate is the single biggest ratings draw this season. 19%+ wow. There is also speculation that she and Tony got the most viewing audience votes. I am sure ABC would like her to stick around. Hopefully, she got her jitters out the way and will be better next week. She doesn't have to be the best dancer to stick around for a while, just half-way respectable. It seems like Nicole would have to break a leg not to win this thing anyway.
I believe it's You're
"Your"?? I thought you went to college?
no one tuned in to watch this stretched out twat.
I tuned in for shannon doherty and pam
kate is just yawn
Re: Antoinette64 – I'm starting to like that old skanky pam again, she really brought the sex, I loved it.
Yo retard….it's YOU'RE….not 'your'…ya stupid assfuck
Pam takes the credit!
She is the only STAR on this show!
Nope. It was to see Pam. She's such a hot mess. What the hell was up with her hair? Oh wait, it WAS her hair that was up!
Re: Shannyn – yeah, kate has a bad attitude, I really did not like her before the show, now I really dont like her, she is so insecure around real "stars" that she comes off as a major bitch.
I tuned in just to see her fail. What a laugh!!! I will watch until they kick her fat ass off the show. Or till Pam OD's on whatever the hell kind of drugs she's on.
Kate, Pam, Shannon…I think there were just more people more people have heard of than there has been in previous seasons.
Give Kate a break…yeah she was wooden, but it was obvious she was just trying really hard to get her steps right.
Nobody was great.
Also….anybody else think Pam looked like Barbie's boozy mother?
Kate Gosselin?! nO way. I was thinking it was because of pam anderson
I think its also Jake Pavelka….hes a gorgeous boy, plus…the rumors of him cheating may contribute to it! haha
You are so stupid.. the girls tuned in for Chad and most likely a lot more people also tuned into see Pamela Anderson.. she looks extremely good and wasn't a bad dancer either..no one gives a shit about Kate! The proof will be when we are all still watching next week and she isn't there..haha!
*You'RE*….damn, you must have been reading the comments for too long…(Liked you'd actually do that)….
Im not even gonna bullshit, I tuned in for Kate. I did enjoy the lady from reno 911 and Pamela Anderson. Whoever thinks Kate was a cow Im sure is a fat ass…Peace bitches

hmmmmm…….this was my FIRST time tuning into this show. I wanted to see Pam Anderson and Evan Lysecek. I would have turned it off but they kept Pam for the end!! smart move ABC.
Re: vee_vee – Haha … Pam looking like Barbie's boozy mother. That was funny. I said I wouldn't watch because Kate was on it, but at work people were talking about Shannon being human and Pam bringing it. Now I want to watch it. Barbie's boozy mother. too funny.
Re: NancyOttawa – I agree with you - I sat through the whole show just to see her, and she was by far the biggest draw!
Evan Lysacek and Nicole S. Don't give a fig about anyone else.
Cow Gosselin was a diaster, but I did walk away after a few moments - it was obvious she sucked, and I'd rather watch the talented ones.
-
How about the slit in the dress - showed her thick tree trunk legs clear down to her cankles and her Goliath feet ~ not flattering
-
Oh, and to Cow Gosselin - how about pointing your toes? Not to mention, your jazz hands were hilarious !
her hair looks awful
The one I was surprised by was Pammie - she was better than I expected, and I'm happy for her. Just wish she'd chill on the wild hair, it was distracting.
-
Nicole & Evan were fab-o.
-
The Cow? No reason to watch her, she was kind of gross.
Ugh, last one for now — Odds Makers in Vegas have Cow Gosselin at something like 1:58, ergo LOSER !
For me, the draw is Evan Lysacek. I can't stand Kate.
No way was I watching for that woman. I was watching to see Pamela Anderson, Shanon Doherty, Nicole, Buzz and Niecy. I'm hoping she gets kicked off next week because she brings nothing to the show. She is not entertaining to watch at all. I want her and husband out of my television for good.
#1 was Pam Anderson - I felt dirty watching this couple dance…whoa that was hawt…tee hee!!! As for Kate she has never done anything like this before and I give her credit for getting out there and trying - sure she appeared nervous (also needs to learn to keep a permi smile on regardless if you agree or not as it does show up on the camera - work it gurl!!), but looked stunning in her Cinderella style outfit….next week will be even better!
This asshole is not a star whatsoever. She is famous for popping 8 kids out of her loose twat and being on a shitty reality show. I hope she's voted off first. Shannen FTW!
ARE YOU NUTS?? IT WAS ALL ABOUT PAMMY.
NO WAY. HOUSE WAS A REPEAT LAST NIGHT. THAT"S ALL.
I watched for the 1st. time to see if Kate or Pam would land on their ass…
Are you serious? We all KNOW that KatetheKunt is so narcissistic, and her spin docs are so good, that they are sure to tell ABC it's all about her! Fact is, I tuned in for Buzz and Pammie. Pam did great and I'll continue to watch for HER. Hurry up and vote KatetheKunt off the show so ABC and her handling idiots will all see it has nothing to do with her. Listening her talk about being a 'mom' is making me sick. Like she has to remind us all why she's even there!
I did love seeing her totally pissed off reaction to the judges tho. Yeah, the real beyatch comes through no matter what! What a ho.
i think peeps watched to see pam anderson too
I did not watch the show, but I was VERY curious how Kate did. She would be what I would call a rating draw, for sure.
I never watch and I watched because of Pam. I know some men who actually watched the show for the first time because of her, I bet its the Pam effect. And please everyone get that nasty fame whore nobody Kate off asap
Seems like American Citizens are more concerned w/Reality TV than the economy. Special interest groups & minorities are the only ones active in the political areana. Get ready for immigration reform to include Amnesty because obviously, American Citizens do not care. After the health reform deduction & adding another 20 MILL (and their extended family up to 20 EACH by law..) - you will be lucky to have anything left of a paycheck - that is IF you even have a job!
Amensty was granted to alien immigrants in '86 - approx 3 Million w/the promise from US Gov't to reform policy & protect borders 20 yrs ago. Now, America has approximately 20 million alien immigrants- because laws have not been enforced. Can you imagine if the 5.4BILLION people in the world from China, India, Russia, Hong Kong, Vietnam - list goes on.. "just want the American dream.." Well so do another 4 BILLION people that will be living here if WE DO NOT STOP IT NOW! & I hope all of the supporters of Amnesty are a victum of identity theft like m

-
Her little kids were asking Jon's girlfriend if she was their "new" Mom, since they never see their own.
-
Oh yeah - and Kate ENDED the marriage in Oct. prior - Jon didin't start his behavior until later on - so, yes, the divorce wasn't final - but the marriage was SO over - because of Shrew Kate.
-
Please - do not vote for her.
Re: WakeUpAmerica – Find a proper forum. Republican. That word alone now is insult enough.
you spelled you're welcome wrong, perez! if you're going to slam something down, at least use proper grammar!
and the show was good-as a fan, i really enjoyed it and thought the celebrities they got make for a refreshing and very entertaining mix. your hate is always misdirected.
Best part of Perez's Blog?

Mego-Ego whore like Kate "the Dancing Cow" Gosselin read it !
Please, give us a break. People tuned in because they kept smelling something awful like the shit house door on a tuna boat. When they got to DWTS, Kate lifted her leg and that solved the mystery.
LMFAO! "your" a dumbass
Here's a little tidbit about Greedy Dancing Cow Kate"
-
"Many people know exactly why Kate is estranged from her parents.
-
Her dad (minister) aked the members of his church to help Jon and Kate when she had the sextuplets. They donated clothes and cribs, etc. Kate REJECTED the used cribs as she only wanted NEW, MATCHING ones.. Also, she told her dad she only wanted CASH."
-
"Kenton Kreider, her father, could not go back to his church members and tell them his daughter refused their overwhelming generosity and would accept only cash. So, Kate cut her mom and dad out of the sextuplets' lives. They are estranged. So, when Kate says on the show, "They don't know how to help us," what she means is that she did not get the cold, hard cash she insisted on."
-
These were the SAME parents who graciously took care of the twins while Kate was on bed rest with the sextups. T
Re: Lulu-2 – Lulu, you are a bitch! You are spouting shit you heard and have no idea whether it is true. I would bet money that you are a fatass cow who sits in front of the computer eating Ben & Jerry's while bashing on a beautiful mother who loves her kids (I'm sure more than your mom loved you). Find someone else to attack to make yourself feel better about being a loser.
Re: runwithwind – Lolololol !!!!!!!!1
You haters are disgusting!!! All I could think of was her 8 children sitting in front of the tv excited as can be to see their mom come on and dance. I would have freaked out to see my mom do that. I think people with so much hate for her need to analyze what is wrong with them to hate on someone they don't know. The way you people talk, you would think she beats babies and kills puppies. She's just a mom that happened to get put on a little show on TLC and nobody paid much attention until she split with her husband. At that point the media put her in the spotlight and life as they knew it would never be the same. She is now doing the best she can and taking advantage of the opportunities given her to support her family. Lay the hell off of her and examine your own lives.
Re: Kdel – You have got to be kidding. My info? My parents lived near the house where they originally filmed - EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT HER.
-
You are a moron.
Perez quit licking this looser's smelly cun*t.
Re: La Garse –
LOL! I would love to see that!
Re: Kdel – She DOES beat her kids - have you not seen the videos and pics????? Maybe you live under a rock??

Kate has a hair-trigger temper who has angrily paddled her kids with a kitchen utensil, an ex-staffer for Kate said.
-
In an explosive exclusive interview, the former employee reveals that she saw Kate at the end of the day, drink a bottle of wine by herself. This happened several nights a week,” said the source, who worked with the Gosselins for six months and quit at the end of summer 2008…
-
Kate was “short-fused and demanding,” according to the source, and while off-camera, she often disciplined the children in a very harsh, sometimes even violent, manner.
-
“She dragged one of the boys into the bathroom and spanked him five or six times with a large spoon.” “You could hear Kate forcefully whacking the child and the child screaming at the top of his lungs. It was off-camera because Kate didn’t want it in the show.”
spell much?
And, for those that think spanking is okay - I get it - when its done within certain contexts - but NOT when its done out of anger - below from a shrik on the topic of Kate's outburst and slapping/hitting her kids:
-
"The principle I have observed, every interaction you have with your child is teaching them how to deal with others in attitude, not in manner. A parent who becomes frustrated and reacts angrily as if the child has wronged them teaches the child that “payback” is how you deal with someone who upsets you.
-
"Children simply need a calm parent who disciplines with a loving eye that looks toward the future well-being of the child, begetting in that adult-to-be self-discipline and a sense of fairness."
can anyone say "PAMELA ANDERSON?"
A. She's the only reason I wouldn't watch the show.
B. What squisheroo said: *You're.
I don't really believe the negative stuff they say about her in the press. They're trying to turn everyone against her once they got everyone to be for her during the divorce and it's sad. It's all for ratings. I do think the she's one of the ONLY contestants that TRULY has no dance experience. I really hate it when they put figure skaters, girl-banders, etc on because it's an unfair advantage and it makes people like Kate and Buzz look worse than they truly are for that stage of beginning dancing. Go KATE!!! I hope she stays on the show long.
Everybody was just tuning in to see Pamela Anderson jiggly her girly bits. Plus
more people can watch because it's not on cable.
Re: Lulu-2 – You heard this and you heard that…Whatever. Just like with Sarah Palin it has become the "in" thing to bash Kate. I thought liberals were about peace and love but actually they are cruel and mean spirited. Your probably one of those parents or going to be one of those parents that let their children get away with murder and then wonder why they can't get a job or why they are addicted to drugs when they get older. I watched every episode of Jon & Kate + Eight and I never saw your parents in one episode. How the hell do they know what's going on? Your parents were probably those nosey neighbors trying to get all in the Gosselin's business. I hate those type of neighbors.
Kate is the only reason I am watching. I have never watched because I think it is a stupid show that puts dancers with years of experience against people who have never danced. It's not about dancing…it's about who has the biggest fan base. A real dance show is "So you think you can dance". That being said, I will give Kate every vote I can.
you spelled YOU'RE wrong
my teacher says READ IT OUT LOUD!!
The show was pretty funny - love Ochocinco and Pam Anderson seemed like she was on drugs - awesome. Kate Gosselin seems like the most miserable, unpleasant person.
Re: Spindoc – LOL
Re: Kdel –
You and me both. I hope she wins just to make the haters more jealous of her than they already are. I gave her all my votes on the phone and then went on line and gave her all my votes on the computer too. Will do so till she gets voted off.
It's "You're," you illiterate dumb fuck.
Re: Kdel – Ugh. Kde - you stupid fucking republican. That's all I need say to sum up your existance as human feces.
-
Every single thing I've indicated at Kate the Dancing Cow is True. ANYONE can see the same on numerous internet sites.
-
You are only angry because you know I voted for Obama, and you are a piece of shit republican who really - anytime now - needs to either die or leave the country.
what everyone should know about Kate Gosselin"
The Dancing Cow Gosselin:
-
8000 sq. ft. House - that's 1,000 sq. ft. per kid
-
5 nannies
-
Full time body guard for her - no one else (she needs to be "guarded," who gives a damn about the kids???)
-
Gardner
-
Full time Chef
-
2 Housekeepers
-
Pool boy
-
$7,000 hair extensions - and she is up to 3 "re-do's" of the extensions - the hairdresser is NOT under contract to Kate - he talked.
-
Prior to hair extensions (or, "the abandoned dog on her head") - photographed leaving salon that charges $950.00 per cut - REALLY? How many single mom's think that is a good idea????
The list goes on and on - THIS WOMAN IS A SICK, SICK LIAR.
sigh. the only folks - who - not by their own fault - other than Kdel the retarded republican - who could possibly support Kate Gosselin are those folks who do not know about her.
-
Go ahead - google "Kate Gosselin Love Donations" - hear from the poor misguided folks who "booked" her to speak - and beg money - at their churches. Her lies and horrid behavior was appaling - and shocking - to them.
-
That is a pretty good indication of what a nightmare this woman is.
while you are at it Kdel - google "Gosselins without Pity"
-
Hey Kate - knowing you are reading this — you are likely guzzling wine beause I mentioned this website. Pity if you are in LA.and can't beat one of your kids out of desperation.
A lot tuned in to see Pam Anderson actually dance. Most of the dancers are a good draw. Kate? Not so much, imo.
I'm pretty sure it's Erin Andrews, every guy I know is beyond excited to see her in the dancing outfits. Then Pam Anderson.
HELL NO!!! Nobody tuned in for her(kate). They tuned in for Pam Anderson.HOT
