Kate Gosselin: 'Miserable' camping trip with Sarah Palin

Camping probably seemed like a good idea, especially to the execs at TLC.

But as it turned out, Kate Gosselin didn't enjoy her outdoor outing with Sarah Palin at all, as shown on last night's Sarah Palin's Alaska.

The buzz this morning is all about what a whiner Kate was. Or, as Sarah Palin's father said, Gosselin "bitched from the moment she got off the plane."

Here's how the camping scene went, with Kate sitting in the rain:

"I'm worried about my toes; they're freezing."

"I've been bitten [by bugs] about 200 times — it's horrible."

"I'm miserable, but somebody's gotta be."

"This is cruel and unusual punishment."

And finally, "This is ridiculous!" she shrieked. "I just don't get it! There are no paper towels! I'm freezing to the bone, I have 19 layers on, my hands are frigid! ... I held it together as long as I could, and I'm done now."

She made the kids pack up and leave, opting not to stay out overnight as planned. When they objected, she said, "OK, goodbye. You're now a Palin, not a Gosselin." That prompted them to follow their mom to a plane that took them out of there.

I was hoping to read that Kate Gosselin was eaten by a grizzly. :(

I misread your comment, and now I am doubly sad that it isn't true. :(

:sl: I second that! I was hoping the whole episode would become the sequel the Grizzly Man taking care of the entire bunch.

If nobody watched this stuff on TV, people like Kate Gosselin would just dry up and blow away. I can probably add about 100 others to that same list. :D

I feel sorry for the kids having to grow up with two self-absorbed losers like Jon & Kate for parents. Does not bode well for their future as adults ...

Who's Kate G? Is not knowing one of the benefits of not having a TV?

It took me over a year to learn who Kardashian was. Then while trapped in my dentist's office I learned there are 3.
I still haven't figured out what they actually do.

:o I had no idea. I haven't owned a TV since 2007, and only just recently moved in w/ someone who did.. and it's hooked up to a PS3 and various auxiliary boxes. I've finally figured out how to turn it on and off.. haven't bothered figuring out how to change the channel, so most of my news ends up coming from Comedy Central. You'd think I'd have heard something about that by now!

Oj died? Oh. You mean Kardashian died. OJ should have been struck by lightning by now.

There really is no justice.

I didn't remember the trial lawyer (7th/8th grade for me), but the first time hearing of Kim K, for the longest time I thought someone was making a play on the Star Trek race Cardassian.. :oops:

easy to confuse the two... Both are back-stabbing, duplicitous so & so's who can't be trusted any farther than you can throw them!
