Reality Show Ideas for Kate Gosselin

Kate Plus 8 Star Should Try Some Other Acting Venues ..

Susan Braun
Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Dancing With the Stars, Kate Plus Eight, Twist of Kate ... is there any reality show left that Kate Gosselin hasn't tried? Turns out, yes, there are a few. Here are some reality shows we'd love to see Kate try her overworked, stressed-out hand at ...

The Amazing Race

I'd sacrifice a lot to watch Kate travel the globe in a mad race for a million dollars. Sure, we've seen Kate travel a lot with her kids, but those trips usually involved lots of pampering for her: a bus arriving at her home to take her family to the airport, great hotels, special tours once the family reached its destination, etc.

How would Kate fare when she's forced to chase down her own taxi? When she needs to complete some ridiculous (yet hilarious to us viewers) task in a foreign country? And you just know she would be U-turned.

Even better, pair Kate again with Jon and watch the meltdowns that ensue as killer fatigue sets in. Kate, submit your audition tape today!

Survivor

Yes, she danced to "I Will Survive" on Dancing With the Stars, but can Kate Gosselin survive in a remote tropical location? She's strictly an indoors gal, so it would be quite entertaining to see Kate construct a shelter, compete in physically demanding rewards challenges, and of course participate in the traditional eating-gross-local-critters challenge.

Perhaps even more interesting that the physical challenges would be the interpersonal ones. Can our gal Kate ingratiate herself with her fellow survivors? Yeah, she's "just a mom," but long-time viewers have seen her morph into quite the diva. Would she be voted off immediately, or could she stay awhile on the island?

Toddlers and Tiaras

A&E's trainwreck-similar, can't-look-away hit features stage moms who insist in entering their youngsters (often less than a year old) in an endless parade of beauty pageants. An early Jon and Kate Plus 8 episode featured Jon and Kate taking twins Cara and Mady to a talent agent (it must have taken great fortitude for the agent to tell Kate, on camera, that the twins were sweet but probably not cut out for great things).

Since she apparently has no qualms about having her children featured in a television show based on their life, I'm guessing Kate might enjoy entering sextuplet girls Hannah, Alexis, and Leah in some kiddie beauty pageants to hone their modeling skills. Actually, I've learned as a loyal Toddlers and Tiaras viewer that boys Aaden, Colin and Joel could enter as well.

Would Kate be one of those goofy moms performing along with her kid from the audience? Would she throw an angry fit if her own child didn't garner a grand supreme title? Hmmm ....

Wife Swap

Oh my - can you just imagine Kate switching places with any mom you know? How about trading places with you? She would need to adjust to your household rules for the week, while you would need to step into place as matriarch of the Gosselin household.

Even better, how about arranging a swap between Kate and Michelle Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting? Now there's an episode I wouldn't miss.

What's a reality show you'd love to see Kate try?

    Oh, boy, that last one about Kate and Mrs. Duggar switching places is the one I wouldn't miss!

    I really like reading this, Susan!!

  • Suzanne7/1/2010

    Lol as much as I hate Kate, I'd love to see her on the Amazing Race! She would SUCK at it without her personal chauffeurs and body guards and stylists with her at every turn. Then again, she probably wouldn't make it very far. Since that show doesn't allow voting, America couldn't save her!

    Gee- from the crazy look in her eyes in your photo, I think it's time for a reality CHECK, not a reality show!
