I feel bad for Bruce Jenner.

I know, I know, this isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.

But Bruce deserves a break.

After 176 seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Bruce looks like he needs a vacation.

And now that the show no longer needs the draw of featuring both “Paris Hilton’s friend” and “Olympic Triathlete Bruce Jenner”, he looks sadder yet.

Last season’s unusual plotline of Bruce showing up once or twice to have an argument with Kris and then remaining silent for the rest as the cameras focused on the Jenner boys (like literally anyone cares, they could replace them with scarecrows and nobody would know the difference) probably took a toll.

And there to comfort Bruce is none other than his youngest daughter, the one closest to him and furthest from the rest of them, ex-Hot-Topic-employee and moonchild Kylie Jenner.

omg dad ur so embarrassing

Rumor has it that if you whisper “Kendall and Kylie Kardashian” in the mirror three times the ghost of Robert Kardashian shows up to defend OJ Simpson who stabbed you moments before.

Kylie is literally our last hope for a non-Kardashianed member of the family.

Kourtney’s off having her 13th child and angling for a Duggar-style spinoff, Khloe’s humping anything with moves and a rap single, Kim is ensuring her image will flash across your retina at some point today, Rob is in a Scientology-style sweatbox, and Kendall is wearing a sad look on her face as she’s chucked down another runway.

Rumor has it that if you whisper “Bruce Kardashian” in the mirror three times Kris Jenner shows up to your house and stabs you.

kris: “gee, you leave that bathroom window open ALL the time.  how convenient!”

I still hold hope that Kylie can save the Jenner marriage and rescue the Jenner name from being chucked into the bowels of divorce history.
