Reality TV losers in love

Jon and Kate Gosselin

The show: "Jon & Kate Plus 8," an initially benign TLC docudrama revolving around the super-sized clan.

The breakup: After 10 years of marriage, the Gosselins filed divorce papers today in Pennsylvania, and are expected to announce the news on tonight's episode of "Jon & Kate."

How the show hurt them: What started as a light family drama, soon morphed into a series chronicling a crumbling marriage under TV's microscope, and the stress celebrity can bring to already heavy parenting duties.
