The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast - Why This Special Forces Cast Opened Up Like Never Before

From Hope On Demand · 50:52

Show by UCB Media

Candace sits down with Collin Gosselin, her Special Forces Season 5 castmate, who was on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 from age three to 11. He describes what he calls “scripted happiness:” crews bringing out puppies or ice cream, then taking them away once filming stopped. He remembers telling his mom at eight or nine that he didn’t want to do it anymore, and he credits Colleen, his father’s partner for about eight years, as the mother figure he needed. After joining the Marines, Collin was about a week and a half from the final boot camp test when he was told he’d be kicked out over mental health diagnoses he traces to an Instagram post from his mom. He paid for a full psychological evaluation that came back clean, and talks about leaning on prayer through it. Candace shares how her parents kept acting her choice, and they discuss Collin’s memoir and his push to protect kids on reality TV and social media. They close with Vivian’s listener question about communicating with siblings who all have different communication styles. Collin’s memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, is available now. Watch Collin and Candace on Special Forces Season 5, with new episodes Thursdays at 6:00 Pacific, 9:00 PM Eastern on Fox and past episodes on Hulu.
