eye opening

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

this was an excellent show - but why did they have to choose such shallow city kids - have never seen a bigger bunch of self-centred children when they all refused to go to Amish country - the Amish kids put them to shame!! bigotry is alive and well in LA however, the concept for the show was good - much better than big brother and all those celebrity reality shows. but really the Amish didn't get a real view of what life 'outside' is like - send them over to the UK where there is no sun, red carpet, Beverly Hills hairdressers and i bet they leg it back to Ohio asap. but it was good to see Meagan's nose put out of joint by the attractiveness of Miriam and Ruth - ha she wasn't expecting to be outclassed by a couple of Amish girls!! and why don't Arial's friends tell her to get a real life? on earth? and next time Reese wants to do reality - ask him to go on Rikki Lake because i don't watch that.
