Collin Gosselin, aged 22 and a contestant on the reality show "Special Forces," shared his thoughts about competing in the same program as his mother Kate. At a red carpet event, he mentioned sending a brief message to her: “Hope you enjoy.” Collin’s upcoming memoir, titled “In the Shadow of Eight,” set for release on October 13, aims to address the difficulties he faced growing up in the public eye and will discuss being hidden from view by his mother and subjected to medications as a child.

Story summary
Collin Gosselin, 22, gave his mother Kate Gosselin a two-word message ahead of her competing on FOX's reality show "Special Forces." At an event in Los Angeles, Collin was asked if he would say anything to Kate during the competition. He laughed and said, "Well, if she does, 'Hey, Mom!' Hope you enjoy." This comes after Kate dropped out early from Season 1 of "Special Forces" due to a neck injury.
Collin emphasized that his participation is not about competing with his mother but rather about personal growth. His memoir, titled "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood," will be released on October 13 and focuses on overcoming the challenges he faced during his time on TLC's reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8." He described writing the book as therapeutic and a way to reflect on his journey.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

“It was just so healing to be able to look at a picture of myself and be like, ‘That’s what I’m doing it for,’ and then think about all the millions of children who go through what I went through — getting thrown into the industry against their will,” he said, referring to his time on the TLC reality show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”
