They look like the perfect California family. Brad, a senior pastor at the local church. His wife: blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Margie. And their daughter: cute Kayte with her casual style.
Strengths: Love of adventure, daredevils.
Weaknesses: “Win at any cost” mentality.
Fun Fact: Margie and Brad have been married for 26 years.

Margie of Team Fogal Family lives in Orange County, California, has four grown children, and works as a high school guidance tech. She has been married to Brad for twenty-six years. Born in the mountains of Honduras to adventurous parents, Margie lived on three continents before the age of twelve and still carries with her an inborn sense of daring, adventure and fun. Margie is known for her nutty stunts and thinks it's funny when folks refer to her as a "crazy pastor's wife." When she looks back on "Treasure Hunters," she thinks of it as the greatest scavenger hunt ever and can't wait for more adventures to come her way.

She is a schoolteacher who graduated from college with a degree in child development. The oldest of four children, Kayte joined "Treasure Hunters" to spend time with her parents and to help her mother's life-long dream of adventure travel come true.

They are going to annoy me, I know it. There was this family of religious turds on the Amazing Race last year and so far they are acting the same exact way. This team is now known as Team Jeebus.
I don't like their attitude of "We will just ask for forgiveness later." If you're a "christian" then be one 24/7, or with your religious spewing. I hope that they leave, and soon. My absolute LEAST fav team (Shan's too).

"Why didn't Pa Fogal clock his daughter with that shovel? Heck no, I'm not advocating serious violence. I'm just in awe that the man of the cloth (whose ''I don't know what hurts more, my ears or my feet'' was kinda priceless) managed to resist rattling bratty Kayte's cage with a gentle, therapeutic blow to the head. Or perhaps the kneecaps. Anything. To make. Her stop. Whining."
"My comment to hubby regarding Kayte Fogal was, "How on earth did that child ever live to be that old." I'm afraid I would have been tempted to abandon her in the woods at some point. I hope she sees and realizes what a PITA she is. A definite lack of the discipline gene. "
Strange how my TV goes mute when Kayte appears to scream and stomp and whine?
'TREASURE HUNTERS' RECAP: We found out two things on this week's "Treasure Hunters": (1) These contestants won't sell out their friends or family for cash (Note: You'll never get ahead in the real world being a Mr. Nice Guy) and (2) Kayte Fogal needs to be killed. Or maimed.
Kayte Fogal needs to be put down like a sick animal
That Kayte Fogal girl needs a slap - she is the most annoying creature on that program.
Kayte Fogal of "Treasure Hunters" fame (infamy?) is Kayte Fogal Andersen. So if you had your heart set on a passive-aggressive whiner helpless domineering shrewish American princess, I'm afraid you're a bit too late.
I'm not sure where they dug up the teams. Certainly there could have been more intelligent, even tempered people available, though where is the entertainment value in that? The thorn in the side of most of the teams is the Fogal Family. The first clue that this family needs a little help in the common sense arena is the fact that their daughter's name is spelled with a Y..in the wrong place. Kayte Fogal is a young school teacher who behaves more like a child in need of some discipline. Her frequent tantrums and flair for the dramatic may make for "good" TV but the annoy everyone around her, except perhaps for her mother. The wife of a preacher and mother to 4, Mrs. Fogal spends about as much time praying as Kayte does crying.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)
"You might be the toughest little whacker. . .but in my world, you're about as worrisome as a cloudy day." (Dutch Dooley)
Its not just a consensus among posters, but journalists as well!
Here's a blip from the Pittsburgh Gazette:
On "Treasure Hunters," the Brown family is penalized six hours for not finishing a task after Terry tears a hamstring. That sets them far enough behind to eliminate the remaining Brown brothers. Too bad it's not the Fogal family. I've had enough of Kayte's screaming and crying. What a whiner. "We're used to it after 24 years," dad Brad says. Guess Dad wears earplugs. "Treasure Hunters" airs Monday at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Treasure Hunters: Geniuses Make A Good Decision
Commentary
July 18, 2006
This week on Treasure Hunters, we saw the result of last week's "to be continued" swamphanger. I don't know how it does for ratings, but I seriously hope NBC renews the show. I love it! It's closer to what The Amazing Race used to be, and everything The Amazing Race Family Edition should have been.
I give Kayte Fogal... full credit for making the show so entertaining this week. It's rare indeed to see someone sustain a meltdown like she has. Have your cry, get over it, move on. Not our Kayte! She began her meltdown in the swamp last week. She had a cute guy holding her hand through the swamp.
This week she continued to melt in the swamp. They continued to the National Monument for the flag pole challenge. They finally arrived at the digging grounds. What does Kayte say? She doesn't want to hold the flashlight while her father does the digging! I don't know if Hollywood does awards for melt downs - they do for everything else - but the current two-parter surely deserves the nomination.
Her parents, naturally, are quite used to Kayte's manner of expressing herself. They explained that their own inclination is to suck it up and move on. Kayte, by contrast, prefers to share her state of mind with all those within earshot. They're aware this can become wearing on anyone else around who happens to have ears. The Fogals haven't been portrayed too positively throughout the season, but I now give them points for being pretty cool parents.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

What?
How about taking away points for being inept pushovers who let their stuck-up, immature, spoiled turd of a daughter spew childish drivel for the past month without doing a damn thing about it. Cool parents? Please. They should be slapped for not disciplining their butt-for-brains kid- if not for yourself then for others. Don't let your flaccid parenting interfere in the lives of others. Go buy her a Barbie doll and a happy meal so she will shut her gigantic pie hole. Her mouth should be check for flies since it's opened so much and she talks so much s***. Hell, a whole colony of flies could be there. A giant fly civilization. But I'm sure the flies would even get sick of her after a few minutes and go back to living on quieter crap.
Hopefully scientists will one day perfect the personality transplant. Then scientists could send her discarded psyche back into the depths of all that is repulsive and dim-witted.
If Kayte was, ummmmmmmmm, lets say like 13 years old, then the temper tantrums would be expected. But, she's like, what... 25? And she's a teacher? GROW UP! She's taught her kids (students) that you can be an adult, and whine your ass off.
If I were her parents, I would be so embarrassed, it's not funny. I would need a serious break from her.

Where did you get that?
