Yes. I watched yesterday's episode. I have to say, it makes quite uncomfortable viewing now. There are lots of scenes of him playing with the kids and Katie in the background. Am trying to decide if this is actually some kind of clever editing designed to paint each character in a particular light or if that is just the way it really is......

I watched it. It's so much more interesting now.

Im still watching. Im pretty sure this would have all been edited before the split.

You can just see Pete getting increasing more fed up with Kate now. Especially that part where she was texting while he was on the beach.

I thought that was horrible of her, and all because she didn't want to get her Uggs dirty.
Hasn't she heard of taking them off, or with her money perhaps buying another pair?

who wears uggs to the beach?

i do wonder if they are editing it to make her look bad.

Uggs were originally designed to keep surfers' feet warm after a session in the water......so actually quite a few people wear them to the beach

But yes, Jean, you are right. If you aren't surfing, wtf would you wear Uggs to the beach

So what do you think?? Is it a publicity stunt.

I had a conversation last night with some friends who think it is, and they have done it to get out of their contract in America.

The train of thought is that they will both come back to the UK and do a couple of single interviews with OK and then get back together for a Hello special at Christmas, pregnant by the New Year.

MTCAL what contract do they have in america? i assumed they were just trying to boost their profile a bit when they went over.

I'm not too sure, the person who was telling me this seemed quite well informed. Apparently there is some sort of contract that it will cost them a fortune to get out of and because they haven't been succesful as the Posh and Becks brand, they want out.

I love watching Katie and Peter but i tend to watch now with the intention of picking up on any little thing that could show a split on the cards. I really hope this is not for pblicity or to get out of a contract as the kids will be scarred for life. Also it seems coincidental that Pete is due to release his album !!

unless pete is actually really sneeky and waited till he was about to put his album out to dump her?.

anyone else think he was the one that caused all that hooha in the shop?

i'm not saying she didn't do a thing wrong
but i think she waas just reponding to how to was being to her, he was the one thaat starated saying how do you feel now etc etc

but she was making polite chitchat he was being a dick.

It is easy to thnk it's all a bit suspect, I do too but I find it hard to believe anyone would do this to their kids, particularly Kate who seems so media savvy and has come out of this really badly.

My ex DP is Australian and I remember when I lived there (in Oz) and wanted Uggs for comfort and he told me they were ridiculous and he used to wear them as slippers as his Mum bought them for him when he was a kid.

They really weren't trendy at all, and that's just going back 10 years.

Jean - Agree with you about the shop arguement.

Pete was being a pratt, but then she went way too far with the 'i earn the money' comment, so not surprised he got the hump and left.

She always goes way too far with the comments. But sometimes it's ok and sometimes it isn't! i don't know how either of them have managed not to be scarred by the things they say to each other!! I'm still watching and I agree, it is being edited to show distance between them now. They've bickered through every series, but now there's a sort of silent panning away instead of hanging around til they make it up.

It is all PR. She's supposedly honest about all the surgery she's had but I don't remember her admitting to a tummy tuck. Perhaps I didn't see that one. Don't much care anyway but her fans always say that they like her honesty but she isn't really. Shame for the children.

If they weren't famous and a bloke came on here writing that his DW treats him as it is displayed on their show, I'd have no problems calling it a verbally abusive relationship

I'm glad they split - they deserve to be with people who treat them as people, not commodities and actually have a loving, healthy relationship.

If the show is accurate, of course.
