Kate Plus 8 Hodge Podge Dinner, Who Does Kate Gosselin Miss? 9 Words Women Use

PopEater.com EXCLUSIVE: Kate Gosselin, the star of TLC's hit 'Kate Plus 8,' has rubbed shoulders with everyone from the 'Dancing With the Stars' cast to likely presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, but the person that she misses the most might surprise you a bit.

"Without a doubt I miss Terri Irwin the most," Kate told me on Monday. "We email a lot. We were so busy those two days we had with them. They had a busy schedule we had a busy schedule. But we need to reconnect and we said it. We have a lot more to talk about." Kate and the kids visited Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo during a visit in January, and got to see a show with Terri and her daughter, Bindi. Cameras were rolling when the two reality TV families collided (in a friendly way) and that episode of 'Kate Plus 8' aired in April. Kate admits that with her busy schedule it's difficult to make time for anyone but her kids, but tells me she wouldn't mind bumping into Sarah Palin again.

"I haven't talked to her in a long time," Kate tells me of Sarah, who invited the Gosselins up to Alaska last year for some televised bonding. "Honestly it's not any other reason than the fact that, you know, you do this show, that show, you lose track of people." She also tells me that she rarely talks to anyone from 'Dancing With the Stars,' including her dance partner Tony Dovolani. "Yes, I talk to Evan and Erin," she says of Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews. "Yes, I run into people from that, it's just you sort of met people and run back into them eventually. It's very few that you end up with." She adds, "Everyone is really busy that's the bottom line."

Kate reveals to me that Monday night's episode of 'Kate Plus Eight' is a really good one that she's very excited about. "It's a gross, horrifying, episode really. A lot of the episodes are my idea, but I came up with this ridiculous idea one day that I was going to let the kids chose what they wanted for dinner. And we turned it into a game and categories and went to the grocery store and they ended up picking like the grosses stuff ever. I actually ended up having a bad attitude cause I was like, okay, this is disgusting and they loved it.

Kate Plus 8: Hodge Podge: Kate Gosselin Does Not like Messes: RadarOnline.com

For the first time ever, Kate lets the kids take over her kitchen, from baking treats to planning their own meal. They are off to the dialysis center where she and the kids hand deliver baked goods to those undergoing treatment.

 Even with eight little ones running amok, reality mom Kate Gosselin likes her house just so, and she never takes a break, not even when she's baking with the kids!
In this sneak peek video of the upcoming episode of Kate Plus 8, Kate keeps the kids firmly in check even while baking treats for the local dialysis center patients "If it turns into a mess you're instantly done," Kate tells her boisterous brood.  "I'm not into messes and you know that."
"If you spill sugar you will get down and pick up every granular and you know I mean that," she says to the kids.  "The only excuse for messes is carelessness." After making blueberrry cinnamon muffins, brownies and cookies Kate is asked if it is fair to say that she doesn't like messes. "Is it fair to say the sky is blue on a sunny day?" She replies... in case anyone was still wondering! Check out Kate Plus 8 Monday on TLC at 10/9c.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. That will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever:  Is a woman's way of saying F---  YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response, refer to # 3.

Kate returns: Reality TV mom makes appearance for screening of Second Harvest episode: JohnsonCityPress.com

After filming segments of the episode around the region in March, Gosselin made a return trip to the area Monday in order to take part in the fundraiser screening, which benefitted the food bank. Filming of the hour-long episode was done at the food bank in Gray, at the Salvation Army Center of Hope in Johnson City, highlights include footage of Gosselin and her eight children at work at the food bank, on the serving line at the Salvation Army kitchen, delivering take-home food packs for children in need at North Side and taking a tour of the famous Bristol race track.
“This actually was such a great experience when I was here with my kids for our show ‘Kate Plus 8,’ and I left thinking, ‘What else could I do?’ ” Gosselin said before sitting down to watch the episode with local fans.
When Rhonda Chafin, executive director of the local food bank, told Gosselin they were going to host a special fundraiser screening of the episode, Gosselin said she knew she had to be a part of it. It was only a matter of making sure it fit into her busy schedule. “I needed to be here, because this area needs so much help and the fact that there’s hunger in our country is upsetting to me. I mean, I just left here the first time thinking, ‘I cannot imagine not being able to feed my eight kids.’ It’s too much. That is such a primary, elementary need,” she said.
Gosselin said it was a shock to learn about the hunger needs in the country, because when thinking about hunger needs, one often imagines needs in third world countries rather than in their own backyard.
“I wish I could do a lot more of this. If you can’t come and can’t do this, you can donate to your local food bank, go help make a meal in a soup kitchen,” she said. “It is really just that easy and we left here and I said to my kids, ‘Oh, this is just the beginning for you.’ We had a great time. It’s surprising where you can find fun.”The local food bank was chosen out of more than 200 food banks for the show because of the high concentration of need for food in the eight-county region. Chafin said having Second Harvest of Northeast Tennessee in the episode was “huge” in promoting awareness about hunger needs in the area.
“We’re real excited about that, because Feeding America, our national organization, could’ve selected any food bank in the nation and they selected Northeast Tennessee simply because this food bank and this community is very aggressive in hunger action and making sure that we do everything that we possibly can to feed more people,” she said. Fittingly, Monday’s special screening at the fairgrounds coincided with the kickoff for the 25th anniversary of Second Harvest’s work in the area. “We started off distributing that first year 60,000 pounds of food and now we distribute over 8 million pounds a year, so we’re real excited about the opportunities that we’ve had to help feed people, but we know that our work is not done."
