Piper is apparently a big fan of the Gosselin children, so she’s totally geeked when the van pulls up. She even did her hair up like Mama for the big occasion. The Gosselin kids immediately jump all over the bearskin rug on the floor and it’s awkward already. Kate just sucks all the humor from every situation.
Kate and Sarah compare paparazzi woes for a few minutes and then Sarah, Willow and Kate go to “Learn to Return” Survival class. The teacher of the class is like a very energetic game show host. Kate is shown how to hold a rifle and, look, Kate Gosselin is one of my least favorite people, but I share her gut reaction on this one. Which is why going camping in the Alaskan wilderness is not anywhere on my bucket list. They go out on the shooting range and go through the various types of ammunition you would use to scare, injure or kill a bear, depending on the situation. Kate actually does take a shot, but its crack shot Sarah who is definitely on gun duty for the trip.
