Brittle Kate Gosselin and her eight reality squirts have taken to the road for a funtastic RV vacation, but wait.
Things are going wrong!
Nothing's working!
Are they on the road to meltdown? You decide...
It's hard to concentrate on anything other than what ABC news is calling The American Event of the Century—Kim Kardashian's wedding, not the new season of Hillbilly Handfishin' (but close). Still, if you can pull yourself away for a minute, enjoy these shining moments from your week's Soup.
1. Joel McHale: Your beloved Soup boss and Spy Kids 4 star showed up on Live With Regis and Kelly looking for laughs. Reeg, on the other hand, was looking for holy vengeance.
One down, four to go. Get a beer.
As Jon Gosselin slowly sinks into the fog of reality-show memory and enters the burgeoning world of construction work, ex-wife Kate is still hanging on to whatever screen time she can.
And, now that Kate Plus 8 will soon be minus a network, she's going to use what's left of her 15 minutes spewing bile on the daddy of all those adorable kids.

Sarah Palin's wild kingdom, AKA Alaska, is not a place for the timid, the weak, or those inclined to such rarified concepts as staying warm and dry. Bubbly Palin, of course, can't get enough of all things outdoors, from guns (at one point in the show she reaches a near-orgasmic froth after shooting a picture of a bear) to camping. In the rain.
Special guest Kate Gosselin is another story. In fact, her bitter complaint mantra about her DWTS partner pales in comparison to the bile she dishes out when forced—oh! Those damned TV obligations!—to endure nature, Sarah-style.
Children are little miracles...in that it's a little miracle more parents don't drop them off on the firehouse doorstep and run like hell. But of course, Kate Gosselin would never do that, mainly because her children are her source of income. If they weren't though, we wouldn't judge her for considering it. After all, as we saw on last night's Kate Plus 8, even making lunch for her brood is an ordeal.
Now that Kate Gosselin's dancing career is over, she has to go back to boring old mommying. And by that we mean being trailed by a camera crew as she shepherds her brood on a private tour bus to take in the sights of New York City.
The kids are naturally boggeled by that enormous statuesque beacon of a lady who towers over the city. But if you think we're talking about the Statue of Liberty, you have another thing coming.
And plenty more on its way as another American icon named Joel brings you a steaming batch of Soup at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

In case you missed the emotional roller-coaster ride of tears, rancor and complaining about showbiz sandwiched in between a few precious moments of single-parenting that was the two-hour season opener of Kate Plus 8, we offer you a special glimpse into Kate Gosselin's difficult world. Come on—she's bitter for a reason.
