Kate Plus 8 Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: All About K8!

Maybe more than any other installment of TLC’s durable hit show to date, Kate Plus 8 Season 4 Episode 8 was all about Kate Gosselin.


What do we mean by that, exactly? Read on …



The entire episode airing Tuesday night centered around the mother of eight … watching clips of her younger self from previous seasons.


We would not make this stuff up, THG readers.


After reflecting on the past footage from her days of yore, Kate then offered up her insight about her evolution as a mother and a person.


The proverbial well hath truly run dry at this point.


“This hour is all about the older, wiser me, giving advice to the younger, less-experienced me,” she explained as clip 1 began to roll.


Among the memorable moments we re-lived:


  • Joel throwing up all over himself and the other kids

  • Young Aaden chillin’ on the floor after soiling himself

  • The infamous chocolate painting episode

  • The kids’ first day of school (ALL the feels)

  • Kate raging during the family’s RV trip

  • Gosselin coming into her own as a single mom

It’s unclear if there’s anyone out there who will still watch Kate Plus 8 online at this point, but it’s somewhat remarkable that it’s still on.


This would’ve made for a better episode had the focus been on Kate’s split from Jon, because that’s what we’d truly love the story on.


To this day, we still don’t know the whole story.


Just this past week, Jon is making the media rounds, lamenting that he hasn’t seen his kids together in years and that TLC f–ked him.


With no love lost toward Kate or his former employer, Jon said TLC tried to stop their divorce for the sake of the show, forcing him to quit.


As we said … give this guy a catch-up episode.
